Weekend Lunar Love Horoscope for Aug. 5th – Aug. 7th

Weekend Love: Lunar Love

by Jeff Jawer

All or Nothing

August 5 – 7

Controlling your passion is a key to enjoying this weekend, which starts off with the Moon’s move into emotionally intense Scorpio on Friday morning. This lunar placement is all about desire and the craving for connection. But there’s a paradox within Scorpio’s nature — this sign can provoke risky personal behavior, but sometimes the depth of personal needs is so great that the tendency is to withdraw and hide from others. Being secretive, of course, does not earn trust, but blazing eyes and a hungry heart can frighten some people away.

Managing these extreme emotions well includes learning how and when to share them. Stop and consider the person you are with and his or her capacity to respond. There’s no sense in being overly seductive in a public place or with a shy individual who can be embarrassed by this kind of behavior. Profound interest in another can be expressed in subtle ways that allow you to move toward intimacy without making a big show of it. Seek out quiet places where whispered conversations and gentle touches cultivate the romantic connection you want.

The Moon’s placement in passionate Scorpio can also peel away layers of politeness and practicality to reveal what you want most from a partner. It’s hard to settle for less or to dance around emotions with this lunar position. You either want all of someone or nothing at all, making it less comfortable to engage in light chitchat or playful flirtations.

The mood lightens considerably on Sunday morning when the Moon fires into outgoing and optimistic Sagittarius, pulling you out of the deep emotional waters and lifting the heavy veils of intensity so playtime can begin. Relationship dramas fade so you can have the freedom to stretch your wings to explore new worlds or to embark on a fun adventure with the one you love.

Your Daily Horoscopes for August 4th

The relationship-oriented Libra Moon encourages us to reevaluate how our individual desires conflict with the needs of the people closest to us. Nevertheless, it will require some extra effort to communicate what we want because Mercury is retrograde, prompting others to misinterpret what we say. Thankfully, we receive support when assertive Mars forms a supportive sextile to Mercury, motivating us to try again if we miss the mark the first time.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Although something might have gone awry in a relationship recently, it simply may be due to a breakdown in communication. Unfortunately, a disagreement could arise if the other person cannot understand your point of view. You could even be accused of being negative because you want to talk about an uncomfortable subject. Fortunately, there’s no need for complete resolution now; bring up your thoughts and then let them go. You can return to the discussion when your partner is ready to engage in the conversation.

 

 

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You may not get the practical results you want today, but you’re still able to rationalize your behavior. You might need to stretch a bit, but you can learn new ways to manage a recurring situation at work. Although you would be happier if you changed how you prioritize your responsibilities, it’s less effort to keep things the way they are. Nevertheless, push through your resistance and plan for the future without looking back.

 

 

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

The Moon’s visit to your 5th House of Fun and Games is dampened by her run-in with somber Saturn. Although you may be able to recover your lighthearted attitude later in the day, you could have a hard lesson to learn along the way. Thankfully, quicksilver Mercury’s alignment with assertive Mars gives you the energy to say what needs to be said. Once the air is cleared, you’ll be able to get back to business as normal.

 

 

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Your words pack more power than you realize today as warrior Mars in your sign lends assistance to clever Mercury in your 3rd House of Communication. Your mental agility, combined with a strong conviction in your beliefs, is an unbeatable recipe for success. You can sell anything now, as long as your heart is in it. Decide what matters most and then get busy asking for the support you need to make it happen.

 

 

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

This is an action-packed day that can bring you closer to what you want if you’re willing to walk your talk. The words flow off your tongue easily when you tell others about your dreams. But idle chatter is cheap, so it’s crucial to galvanize your thoughts into actions. However, your current interactions must be in line with your plans or nothing will seem to gain traction; when your behavior is aligned with your passion, anything is possible.

 

 

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

The Moon’s visit to your 2nd House of Resources reminds you to get your money’s worth from every financial transaction today. Unfortunately, meeting your basic needs may be more complicated than it appears at first. Look beneath the surface for a missing piece of information that could have significant consequences before signing an agreement or handing over any cash. And most importantly, be clear with your intentions and precise with your words or things could get muddled quickly.

 

 

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You may have a lot of good ideas that all seem worth pursuing today, but you cannot possibly turn every inspirational flash into immediate action. Instead of trying to do too many things at once, be smart and write down your most innovative thoughts. Since they are transitory, even the most brilliant one could fade back into the depths of your unconscious. You can create a plan now and put it into motion once you have the chance.

 

 

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Today you might be able to clear up a problem that has been bothering you for a while. Nevertheless, trickster Mercury still has a wild card up his sleeve, so you could inadvertently outsmart yourself by mixing up your facts. Although you’re not normally inclined toward sloppy thinking, you’re so concerned with getting the right answers that you could stumble. Watch your step; everything should work out if you pay careful attention to the difference between truth and illusion.

 

 

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

The socially astute Libra Moon in your 11th House of Friends encourages you to act graciously, but unresolved issues could sneak in amidst the congenial gestures. Unfortunately, you can’t tell if a topic is significant enough to address or if it’s only a temporary frustration that intensifies a problem. Thankfully, you can take the course of least resistance now so leave the heavy lifting for some other day.

 

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may feel as if you’re running around in circles without accomplishing very much. You might even revisit the very same issues over and over again. Fortunately, you are able to change the dynamics by discussing your concerns with a friend. Participating in a conversation about your goals allows others to support you in your efforts and helps you break out of the vicious cycle.

 

 

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Your ability to imagine the future is heightened by the Moon’s presence in your 9th House of Long-Term Goals. Your self-assuredness encourages others to seek out your approval of what they are doing. Although you like being asked for your opinion, you’re not sure why anyone thinks you know enough to offer advice now. Save the self-questioning for some other day and just help out however you can.

 

 

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your imagination is running the show now and you are eager to share your current inspiration. Although you may feel secure within the context of your life, Mercury’s retrograde still makes it tricky to say what’s on your mind. Just remember that the more generous you are with others, the better it will be for everyone involved.

Weekend Lunar Love Horoscopes for the Week of 29 – 31

Weekend Love: Lunar Love

by Jeff Jawer

Road to Romance

July 29 – 31

Opportunities abound for starting a new romance or reviving interest in a current relationship this weekend. Things may start out slowly with the Moon in self-protective Cancer on Friday, which is better suited for low-key family events and a bit of rest and relaxation. Then there’s a dramatic shift of mood beginning very late on Friday night and kicking into high gear on Saturday.

The Sun and Moon join in the sign of the Lion, marking the New Moon in a dramatic fashion. This fiery lunation starts a fresh cycle that’s rich with energy, enthusiasm and extravagance. Some of us may go overboard in expressing ourselves, perhaps overwhelming shy individuals with the sheer force of our personalities. Proud and powerful Leo encourages us to be bold in our pursuit of love and happiness. The key to making magic happen is to avoid taking life too seriously.

When Leo is light and playful, it creates a delightful atmosphere in which everything feels like a game. We’re willing to open up and take risks with people who are fun, lively and straightforward. But when insecurity strikes and egos weaken, we tend to try too hard and might appear pompous or pretentious.

Generosity gets hearts beating faster during this demonstrative Leo lunar transit. When attention is put on making others happier, barriers drop and the road to romance opens. Whether it’s lending a helping hand without being asked, delivering a gift for no special reason or offering an unsolicited compliment, the more you give, the more you’ll receive in return.

 

New Moon Report for July 28 – Mercury in Virgo

Mercury in Virgo

Thursday, July 28, 10:59 am PDT, 1:59 pm EDT

Brainy Mercury’s entry into its earthy home sign sharpens minds with practical perspectives and analytical skills. However, this transit doesn’t last very long as Mercury is turning retrograde on August 2. It will back into Leo on August 8 before returning to Virgo on September 8. A great asset of this intellectually astute transit is its capacity to break down complex issues into easily manageable pieces.

Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, July 26th

The jittery Gemini Moon can heighten our senses, diversify our interests and increase our overall curiosity. We are easily distracted by anything that appears to offer new information or a different perspective. With restless Mars also in Gemini, we are prone to scatter our energy, start several projects and perhaps leave them unfinished. Thankfully, the Moon’s harmonious midday trine with disciplined Saturn enables us to concentrate for a while.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You are naturally inclined to be a pioneer, exploring unknown territories and courageously doing things for the first time. Today’s fidgety Gemini Moon encourages you to add even more activities to your already busy schedule. Although you might enjoy running off in several different directions at once, narrowing your focus now and concentrating on one task at a time will enable you to be even more productive.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

The Moon’s visit to your 2nd House of Self-Worth today motivates you to reevaluate your possessions and what they mean to you. A realistic assessment of what you have versus what you need can produce some pretty interesting results. You might realize that it would be easier to get by with less, but are unwilling to make the adjustments necessary to change your lifestyle. Although no immediate action is required, a fresh perspective will do you good.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

It’s hard for you to decide what’s best for you today because the Moon in dualistic Gemini has you seeing double. Even after you have made your choice, a single destination morphs into two distinct possibilities — just like the many-headed Hydra who grew two heads every time one was cut off. There’s no need to answer every question posed to you; some dilemmas are better left unresolved for now.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You have the ability to sound more certain today than you actually feel. Although you may be lost in self-doubt, your co-workers might not realize that you are so unsure of yourself. Ironically, you could receive support from others and be more successful professionally if you share your current concerns with a trusted friend, rather than trying to hide your insecurity. Being honest now really is the best policy.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You Lions usually prefer to play in a pack, but today you might want to go your own way. You like the idea of doing things as part of a group, yet you also need to maintain some autonomy or you will feel trapped by the very same people that you want in your life. Don’t sacrifice your individuality to be accepted by others because you will likely need more freedom, rather than less, over the next few days.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You might feel as if you’re struggling to maintain your sense of purpose today. You have a very clear sense of what you need to do, but circumstances may pull you in several different directions at once. While you prefer to drill down on the details of what you already started, responsibilities demand that you spread yourself thinner to cover the workload. Recognize your limits; staying within them now will make everyone involved happier.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You may have grandiose ideas about what you want to do in the future, and adopting a common-sense approach actually enables you to live out your dream. However, this is not an overnight project; your long-range planning might take months to manifest. If you find yourself getting restless now, remember the old adage, “Rome wasn’t built in a day.”

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Sometimes when you dive into an emotional situation, you do so with such intensity that you lose perspective. However, today you’re able to be fully involved without being hooked by someone else’s melodrama. Your rational approach gives you a cool head now, so others may lean on you even more. It’s a gift to share your thoughts as long as you don’t attempt to control what happens next.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You are a champion at gazing far off into the distance, but not as good sometimes at seeing what’s right under your nose. A close friend or partner may attempt to change your perspective by inundating you with information about something that’s occurring right now. Unfortunately, you may think that the current events are merely a distraction from your more evolved perspective. Don’t be so quick to judge others; instead, be open to what they can teach you in the present moment.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may want to talk today instead of doing your work, but too much idle chatter will only lead to trouble. Thankfully, the interactive Gemini Moon’s current visit to your 6th House of Daily Routine is stabilized by self-restrained Saturn. Although it’s hard for you to settle down now, it becomes easier if you stay focused on your immediate goals. Remember, your actions have more impact than your words.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You are buzzing with creative ideas today, but all your innovative thinking could be for naught unless you take the time to turn your thoughts into action. However, initiating a new project doesn’t ensure automatic success; you must have the necessary persistence to finish whatever you start. Following through with your intentions is possible if you keep your eyes on the distant prize of success.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Although you might like to space out and lose yourself in a daydream today, there’s way too much going on for that to realistically happen. You may be drawn from one project to another, without having enough time to settle into any of them. Instead of working yourself up into a state of high anxiety, remember that this level of noise won’t last. In the meantime, set your fantasies aside until you have taken care of business.

Weekend Lunar Love Horoscope for July 22 – 24

Weekend Love: Lunar Love

by Jeff Jawer

Cozy Connections

July 22 – 24

There’s a mix of fiery adventurousness and earthy caution that affects your social life this weekend. This cosmic pattern emerges on Friday night when the Sun enters creatively courageous Leo while the Moon moseys into bucolic Taurus. Expect contrasting cues and fluctuating feelings as you shift between Leo’s desire to touch hearts and take chances in self-expression and Taurus’ preference to remain comfortable by staying grounded with predictable activities and people.

One thing these signs have in common is that they occupy the middle of their seasons, which makes them fixed signs, the stubborn ones that are the most resistant to change. Now that’s fine if you’re all set to cuddle up on the couch with your sweetie and not leave the house for two days. But if you’re in the real world dealing with real people, overcoming the childlike urge to stamp your feet and refusing to budge will go a long way to reducing conflict.

Still, everyone can enjoy the dramatic side of Leo by being more romantic than usual. Slowing down to communicate with greater focus and attention is one way to bring more passion to a relationship.

The Moon in comfort-seeking Taurus also favors a more easygoing pace as this sensual sign is made for enjoying life’s sweet delights. Good food, silky textures, soothing sounds and tender touch are especially alluring now. Simply spending time with someone you love outside in nature (or any comfortable setting) cultivates a cozy connection.

Daily Horoscopes for Thursday, July 21

We experience a more subdued Aries Moon today, since its most significant aspect is an opposition to authoritative Saturn at 11:53 am EDT. The enterprising Aries Moon encourages us to take risks as we search for ways to bring more excitement to our lives. But we may not be able to free ourselves from previous obligations because Saturn’s presence places the damper on our fires of enthusiasm. Thankfully, the heaviness dissipates later in the day.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You don’t need to wait until the Moon visits your impulsive sign in order to take an unnecessary risk. However, today’s Aries Moon provokes you to say yes quickly, before considering the alternatives. The Moon’s midday opposition to stern Saturn in your 7th House of Relationships indicates that a critical friend or partner could come down on you pretty hard. Don’t jump to defend yourself against someone else’s judgmental perspective. Remember, there might be a real lesson here for you to learn.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Perhaps you’ve been quite busy trying to keep up with everything that’s happening, so taking some time to be by yourself today sounds like a good idea. But now as you try to retreat it seems as if others won’t leave you alone. Although everyone appears to have a different idea of what you should be doing, it’s up to you to resist outside pressure by clearly establishing your boundaries.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Even if today is a workday, you may be more interested in the social aspects of your life than performing your job. You might be tempted to take a long lunch, waste time in idle chatter with your coworkers or look for other ways to fulfill your need for interaction. Unfortunately, your boss or some other authority figure could step in and prevent you from escaping your duties. Be smart; finishing your task list early in the day will leave you time to play later on.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You’re uncharacteristically eager to take charge at work today and others may be surprised with your actions. Although sometimes people assume that you are shy, you’re quite willing to be in control when you know where you are going. Just be careful not to indiscriminately share your feelings with everyone. Finding the right person to confide in can make all the difference in the world.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You might not be satisfied with what’s happening in the present moment, tempting you to escape into your dreams. However, withdrawing into fantasies isn’t a viable strategy for achieving long-term happiness. Thankfully, the courageous Aries Moon in your 9th House of Adventure prompts you to make changes in order to bring the excitement you seek back into your life. Nevertheless, you will still have to do what others expect of you prior to putting your big plan into motion.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your friends and associates might have a hidden agenda today. On the surface, they may continue to support you if you retreat from the social scene in order to delve deeper into your own feelings. However, you can feel the pressure from their unspoken demands, provoking you to pull away even more now. One way to ameliorate the current situation is to let others know that you just need some time alone and will reconnect with them once you are ready to return to the game.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Someone close to you may seem a bit too aggressive as the Moon visits brash Aries and your 7th House of Others today. Thankfully, a lunar opposition to stern Saturn in your diplomatic sign enables you to clearly set the limits you need to feel comfortable. However, you could overreact and inadvertently push the other person away. Relationships require give and take, so remain open to continuing communication as long as your boundaries are respected.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You won’t likely sit around doing nothing today with the irrepressible Aries Moon activating your 6th House of Work. But you could be so enthusiastic about getting through your to-do list that you rush into your tasks before you consider the smartest approach. Unfortunately, you may waste time and energy without finishing what you start unless you’re willing to slow down, rethink your strategy and begin anew.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

It feels like a playday to you, but promises that you made to others might prevent you from having too much fun. You may believe that everything would be fine if only your friends and coworkers ease up on you. But their expectations probably aren’t that unreasonable. Instead of scheming to escape or complaining that life isn’t fair, see how creative you can be while fulfilling your obligations.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

The Moon’s opposition to your key planet Saturn puts you in touch with the emotions that often get in the way of your success. Ambitious Saturn’s presence in your 10th House of Career motivates you to set high standards and do whatever it takes to accomplish your goals. But the impulsive Aries Moon leads you to believe that you can arrive at your destination faster by taking a few unauthorized shortcuts. Avoid the potential for frustration by doing things right and giving yourself plenty of time to finish your work.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may be running around in circles today without having much to show for all your efforts. Instead of continuing to spin your wheels, stop for a while so you can reestablish your connection with the ground. Naturally, a more practical approach will help, but restarting slowly is the real key to gaining traction. You’ll be able to deliver on your promises as long as you don’t blindly rush ahead.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may benefit now by adopting a steady approach to a financial problem that’s been bothering you. But ignoring the facts and attempting to solve the dilemma by taking aggressive action won’t be useful as the Moon in your 2nd House of Money runs into a tense opposition with stern Saturn today. Don’t try to shift the blame for a difficult situation onto anyone else. Take responsibility for your position and establish a sensible plan to alleviate the current pressure.

General Daily Horoscopes for July 18th

The Moon enters the boundless realms of watery Pisces at 1:12 am EDT, turning down the volume on our thoughts. The sweet perfection of a wonderful fantasy can grab our attention as the imaginative Pisces Moon conjuncts nebulous Neptune. We’re entranced by the lure of those magical things which cannot be seen in the real world. However, the Moon’s difficult aspect with karmic Saturn in the evening reveals the gulf between reality and our dreams.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may be feeling somewhat deflated today, as if you’ve seen something you truly want yet know you cannot have. You could even grow annoyed with yourself for falling victim to your own unrealistic expectations. However, your frown can transform into a smile once you understand that you are the source of your confusion now. The truth may not be what you wished for, but it can still set you free.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You want to be on your best behavior today, but you still could get yourself into trouble if you believe that you can fix everything. Nevertheless, it’s tempting to overestimate the positive results of your actions. You appreciate a new opportunity, but may become frustrated if it disappears as suddenly as it arrived. Even so, there’s no reason for discouragement to come between you and another good prospect. Fortunately, your irrepressible dreams continue to pull you toward success.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You might not be able to justify starting so many activities now because your responsibilities require that you follow one specific task through to completion. Unfortunately, you’re feeling restless and more inclined to jump from one project to another. Ironically, narrowing your focus onto a single goal can actually open new avenues for exploration, so don’t be so eager to beat the system and move on too soon.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You would like nothing more than to live in a free-spirited world of sunshine and flowers today, but reality can’t live up to your fantastic expectations. Unfortunately, the Moon’s visit to your 9th House of Big Ideas isn’t very helpful if you need to focus your attention on more practical issues. Set aside a bit of time for aimless daydreaming, but then come back to earth and get busy with your work.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You could have the most amazing vision today, and by demonstrating patience and follow-through you may even be able to produce something special. Even if you’re not Beethoven or Rembrandt, a lack of artistic skills need not stand in your way. Although you would like your work to be appreciated, it’s more important now to be creative, whether or not anyone else notices what you do. Remember, it’s currently about the process rather than the finished product.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You can drive yourself crazy today if you try to narrow your attention on solving one particular problem. Unfortunately, the more you attend to details, the more your mind escapes the confines of the current situation as forced logic morphs into fuzzy thinking. Instead of approaching the current dilemma from a logical perspective, just imagine the desired outcome and start off in that direction without worrying about what you’ll do next.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You’re eager to share your ideas at work, but they may not be ready for an unsuspecting audience yet. It’s like a dream that makes perfect sense until you start to tell it to someone else — and then it quickly fades back into the shadows. Paradoxically, even your most sensible plan grows fuzzier as you elaborate on the details. Skip the wordy explanation today; you can bring others up to date in a day or two.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You really don’t want to waste time discussing trivial subjects today, but ironically, you don’t seem to be able to avoid it. You would rather place the endless stream of words on hold in order to intensify a current emotional dynamic. Keep in mind that you may have to engage in superficial conversations just to make it through the workday. It’s not an either/or situation; you can still make time to explore more meaningful topics later with someone you trust.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You’re enthusiastic about taking a journey, yet uncertainty is beginning to take root and you don’t understand why. Worries about your family or concerns about your own emotional security may prevent you from traveling anywhere, now. Fortunately, you can go somewhere without ever leaving home. The advantage of a mental excursion is that no one will even know that you’re gone. You can explore the distant reaches of the universe in your imagination while on the job and still return in the wink of an eye to answer the phone.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You aren’t averse to floating around in the realms of your imagination; however, you start to feel anxious if you go out too far in the process. You may struggle today if there’s no obvious way to return to solid ground, but your fear is more of a problem than the actual situation. You can avoid stress by consciously staying connected with your work. Be creative, but don’t fly so high that you get lost in the clouds.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

It may seem as if you are losing touch with reality now, but this perception is only an illusion. People can’t see your inner process, so they don’t understand that you’re actually being very pragmatic today. You can take advantage of this temporary confusion since you don’t appear to be threatening to anyone. Be assertive and push for what you want. You might be pleasantly surprised at the results.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You are very smooth at shifting metaphysical gears and slipping in and out of the real world so fast that no one even notices your absence. Even heavy responsibilities won’t stop you from enjoying your mini-escapes to other realms today. But consider scheduling a block of time for your mental adventures, instead of trying to squeeze them into short moments here and there. Stretching your mind into imaginary places is healthy as long as you also get your work done.

Weekend Lunar Love Horoscopes for July 15 – 17

Weekend Love: Lunar Love

by Jeff Jawer

Easy, Breezy

July 15 – 17

A Full Moon in hyper-responsible Capricorn late on Thursday night tends to place productivity above pleasure as you’re reminded of your worldly obligations. Happily, for lovers and those seeking romance, the Moon floats into airy Aquarius on Friday afternoon to blow away accumulated worries. This friendly sign sets the mood for the weekend, making it easy to connect with people as conversations flow freely.

A non-judgmental atmosphere opens minds to all different styles of dress and entertainment. A more tolerant environment is great for exploring unusual individuals and unfamiliar experiences. Experimenting within a current partnership or when seeking a new romance reduces the pressure and increases interest.

You are able to strike a healthy balance between your need for adventure and a more mature approach to your obligations as the Moon aligns favorably with reliable Saturn on Saturday morning and with passionate Mars that night. But all this activity occurs in air signs that are more comfortable with ideas than emotions.

People may appear to be open and accessible, which is true to a degree, but you could come away with the feeling that you haven�t connected in a deep way. If you try to crowd someone or feel like a person is invading your personal space, politely step away and explain your need for a little privacy.

The weekend works best for those who like romance on a non-committal level, as if it’s a chance encounter of two ships passing in the night. Deep feelings and intimate moments are still possible; just don’t expect most people to be in the mood to deal with the sticky details of complicated emotions.

Your Daily Horoscopes for July 13th

The moody Moon shifts into calculating Capricorn at 10:13 am EDT, reflecting our need to downplay our emotions, especially if they get in the way of our success. Although everything should be a bit quieter since we have no major planetary aspects prior to Friday’s early morning Full Moon, a difficult lunar square to irrepressible Uranus indicates a surprise. Additionally, the Moon joins shadowy Pluto to drag a dark secret out into the open.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You are set on reaching your goals today and might not slow down if someone purposefully stands in your path. Unfortunately, confrontation isn’t the best way to respond. Recognize that you may be obsessive about whatever it is you desire to do, even if you simply want to rest. The truth is that it truly does make sense to relax now while you have the chance.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Your stubbornness can land you in big trouble now, or it can serve you very well if you are already on your desired course. But you might just need a little help from your friends to steer you in the right direction, even if you think that you’re not interested in listening to their opinions. Don’t resist the sensible advice of a trustworthy workmate today; remind yourself to remain open to all the good ideas you hear.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You may feel uncomfortably restrained by circumstances today, since you don’t have much leeway to express yourself creatively. You are being challenged to limit your thinking so your ideas will fit into the environmental constraints of the day. Even if it’s difficult, focusing your attention on a limited spectrum of possibilities may help you be more effective than you ever imagined.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Someone might get on your nerves now because it seems like he or she has a plan that doesn’t necessarily match up with your own. You lose patience when others assume that you’ll set your agenda aside to take care of them, even if you keep your true feelings quiet and just do it anyway. Common sense rules today, so stick to the most practical plan, regardless of who thought of it first.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You may have a hard time letting go of unresolved feelings today. You might not trust your senses, but everything finally seems ready to shift now. Others won’t likely notice the change, but that’s because they cannot see your inner workings. Nevertheless, you can’t keep up appearances much longer. Be careful; your frustration can alter the dynamics between you and your closest friends in a very subtle yet long-lasting manner.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You could be leaving on a spiritual journey that’s just for you today. You are exploring ways to reclaim your power, but the current dynamics might not support your growth. Don’t try to manipulate circumstances in your favor. Your strength will return naturally as you rediscover your metaphysical center of gravity. Realign with your core values and exhibit the highest integrity possible in all that you do.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You could be annoyed with yourself now because you didn’t let someone know exactly how you were feeling. Today you can gain clarity in a way that previously eluded you. Don’t question your analytical capabilities even if you are feeling incapable of integrating all the data at your fingertips. Worrying about your next move is a waste of energy, but staying in the present moment and observing your feelings has a direct, positive impact on your future.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You may be in a position now to receive emotional support that’s long overdue. Don’t try to avoid change, whether or not anyone comes forward to offer personal assistance today. Even with extra demands being placed on you, it feels as if your world has become a friendlier place. You may need to set aside an unresolved relationship issue, but there’s no reason to continue worrying. Instead, concentrate on keeping your balance as the big waves wash through your life.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You are relieved that things aren’t so hectic today because there are a few serious issues to handle. Unfortunately, you may be missing important information, but you’re willing to dig around for it. It’s not easy to relax now because there are so many different avenues that lead to fun and adventure. Nevertheless, everyone requires a bit of downtime, so accept any peace and quiet as a gift from the cosmos.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You are most content when your feet are firmly planted on stable ground. You like to know when to take your next step and exactly where you’re going. Although you may be feeling uncharacteristically uncertain today, it won’t last long. Nevertheless, you can still enjoy expressing yourself when the Moon washes through your sign. But you cannot afford to get lazy; do your planning now instead of waiting until you’re in the middle of the next storm.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You usually choose trusting your mind over relying on your heart when making decisions; however, the tables are turning now. You like the idea of intimacy and may be willing to sacrifice some hard-core data for an opportunity to intensify a relationship. You’ve been thinking about pushing past your resistance for a while, but powerful emotions can still make you uncomfortable. Remember, although you aren’t required to share everything all at once, it’s a good time to start turning fantasies into reality.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

It’s smart to involve your friends and co-workers in your planning process now, for group participation makes your day more enjoyable and efficient. Others may enter the picture with important keys to your future, and if you don’t welcome their presence, you’ll never know what might have been possible. Don’t allow old fears of failure to sabotage your current dreams by discouraging you before you even start.

Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, July 12th

We may be caught between two opposing cosmic messages today as the outgoing Sagittarius Moon lifts our spirits and widens our horizons. Her harmonious aspects to chatty Mercury and active Mars help us to communicate clearly while encouraging energetic interactions with others. However, affectionate Venus, already hesitant in timid Cancer, forms a stressful square with somber Saturn. Instead of turning on the charm, we may seek isolation instead.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may grow tired of encouraging other people’s ideas, especially if they don’t even seem to listen to yours. You want to maintain a positive attitude, but could withdraw your support if your irritation turns to resentment. Be careful how you express your frustration. Leaving close friends and co-workers to fend for themselves will only increase ill will. There’s no need to overreact; expressing your concerns is healthy, but you don’t have to alienate others in the process.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

An unresolved issue with a workmate needs to be addressed as your key planet Venus harshly squares authoritative Saturn. You understand the importance of sharing your feelings now, but fear the negative consequences of being completely honest. Nevertheless, you must say what’s on your mind or people will draw incorrect conclusions because they lack the basic facts. Being kind to others will help you move through a conflict gracefully.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You may go through a day or two of self-doubt as Venus in your 2nd House of Self-Worth squares hard-nosed Saturn. Take time to consider what is most important to you, but don’t minimize the needs of others. Even if you aren’t happy enough to dance in the streets, don’t take it out on those nearby. Simply do what you must to make yourself more comfortable and then get busy with what must be done. Your life will quickly improve on its own if you don’t focus solely on what’s wrong.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Tough Saturn squares sweet Venus in your sensitive sign, signifying changes in your personal life. You are at the end of a cycle, but not ready yet to begin the next one. You might not be able to see the opportunities that are coming your way, but they are just around the corner. Don’t panic and try to make something happen, but don’t give up prematurely, either. Just accept that you still need time to process recent events before jumping ahead into something new.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You might be anxious today, even if you cannot logically determine the source of your feelings. There could be specific issues that you’re dealing with, but your worry might be out of proportion with what’s actually happening now. Nevertheless, it’s not wise to avoid your feelings; denial only strengthens them. Instead, pay careful attention to all physical symptoms without trying to control your sensations. Resistance is futile, so let your emotions ripple through the present moment. Tomorrow will be a brand new day.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

In theory, you want to be included in a larger group of friends or associates, but you’re more comfortable being an outsider today. You might think that everyone disagrees with you now, and you may feel excluded even if you don’t voice your opinions. Ironically, you will be more accepted if you let your peers know exactly where you stand. No one can fault you for speaking from the heart.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your ruling planet Venus, now visiting your 10th House of Career, provokes feelings of loneliness as she squares judgmental Saturn. Emotional stress that has been pressurizing for a while could suddenly explode and turn your professional life upside down. Instead of worrying about the unknown, embrace the upcoming shift. Even if you face a temporary setback, the lessons you learn today can help to reestablish equilibrium in your life.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

The recent emphasis on your 9th House of Higher Truth enables you to see far into your own future. However, you might not be pleased with where your current path is now leading. But instead of allowing yourself to grow discouraged, concentrate on the possibilities ahead. Don’t alter your present course, even if you’re feeling as if something has gone awry. Today’s malaise will pass, leaving you with a clearer sense of what to do tomorrow.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You are a champ at making your life look fabulous, yet today you might be hurting deep inside where others won’t notice. You may even be uncharacteristically self-critical because your shortcomings are so apparent to you now. You will feel better if you share your new realizations with someone who will give you honest feedback. However, it’s not wise to blab about your secrets to everyone, so choose your confidants carefully before you entrust them with your heart.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may feel lonely today as loving Venus in your 7th House of Others squares your key planet, Saturn the Taskmaster. You don’t like it when someone comes down hard on you or makes unreasonable demands. However, logic can’t help you decide how to respond now; trust your instincts, instead. If your gut tells you no, then don’t do it. On the other hand, if you think you should get involved, give it one hundred percent, even if you must set aside a previous commitment.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Your regular routine may feel oppressive today, yet there’s no simple escape route. Nevertheless, it’s still a smart idea to think about what you are doing and why you continue to do it. Naturally, breaking out of a rut sounds good, but maintaining the status quo feels much safer now. Don’t make any changes until you are ready. Your motivation needs to come from within to have a significant impact.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Others may think that they understand you well enough to give you advice; however, their false assumptions only serve to alienate you. Their expectations can be quite unrealistic, yet these unfair judgments hold power over you now. Don’t make any long-term decisions today, for your current emotional disconnection is warping your perspective. Be patient; a more positive outlook will return in a day or two.

General Weekly Love Horoscope for July 11th

We may face a dose of reality in relationships this week as amorous Venus tangles in a tense 90-degree square with restrictive Saturn on Wednesday. Demonstrating patience and maturity while remaining painfully honest can clarify what’s needed to repair a wounded partnership, or do what’s necessary to help create a new one.

 

 
Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

The cool, quirky and innovative Aquarius Moon lights up your 11th House of Groups this weekend. This lunar transit is excellent for going out with friends to a new destination or connecting with someone special while working on an important cause. Experimenting with different people and unusual experiences is better than spending all of your time with familiar faces in the same old places.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

No matter how cautious you feel early in the week, it’s time to take some chances this weekend. The unconventional Aquarius Moon may push you out of your emotional comfort zone, but it makes more sense to loosen up and play than to get too serious. A lighter attitude will also keep you from going to extremes, which you might appreciate when the party is over.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Plans can change in an instant this weekend, which should suit your curious and adaptable personality. But try to maintain a bit of self-control, especially on Friday when your brainy ruling planet Mercury hooks up with wild and crazy Uranus. Whatever goes through your head could pop out of your mouth and undermine your romantic intentions. Think twice before you say something you can’t take back.

 

 

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

It’s going to take a good deal of tolerance to appreciate and understand others this weekend. A desire to retreat to safe and familiar territory is understandable, but that’s unlikely to serve your romantic interests now. Opening up to discover new ways to share your heart and mind can take you on a thrilling ride. Let your love light shine and you might be pleasantly surprised by what happens next.

 

 

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Expect an exciting weekend with the inventive and spirited Aquarius Moon lighting up your 7th House of Relationships. Emotions will be high, but fortunately, you can also remain objective enough to keep your feelings from going overboard. Spending time with open-minded people will help you discover joy and mental stimulation, making this an entertaining time.

 

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Keeping order can be quite difficult this weekend as your logical ruling planet Mercury crashes into chaotic Uranus on Friday. Stress is lowered if you’re willing to adapt to sudden changes instead of trying to stubbornly stick to a pre-determined schedule or plan. The Moon’s move into your 6th House of Service could connect you with someone special through work or as a helpful volunteer. Romance can show up in the unlikeliest places, so keep your heart open just in case.

 

 

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Don’t despair if you feel underappreciated early this week when stern Saturn scolds your ruling planet Venus. Thankfully, the Moon dances into your 5th House of Fun and Games on Friday afternoon, which should make for a playful weekend. Letting loose to express yourself is not only healthy, but may also be the best way to attract romantic attention. Creating your own special brand of entertainment allows you to focus on your needs for change, inadvertently captivating your audience in the process.

 

 

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

The Moon is in quirky Aquarius this weekend, reflecting a strange quality that may be hard for you to grasp. People need room to breathe, making it difficult to feel close or stick to commitments. Instead of working against this changing tide, get in the flow by letting go of any expectations or judgments about your behavior. Explore uncharted territory instead of trying to control everything in your environment. Romance happens when you least expect it.

 

 

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You may not have to stray far from home to find some fun this weekend. The Moon is traveling through your 3rd House of Nearby Places, which can connect you to interesting people and experiences in the course of your daily activities. Conversation comes easily now, making your gift for expression even more valuable. As long as you don’t get preachy, almost anything you say can captivate your audience.

 

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Friday’s early morning Full Moon in your sign could bring relationship issues to a head, but the intensity quickly cools with a lunar shift into chilly Aquarius in the afternoon. Expressing strong emotions could push buttons, but your ability to regain objectivity can turn a potential crisis into a breakthrough — helping you get a fresh start with someone new or putting a current partnership on a more flexible foundation.

 

 

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Ghosts from the past can rattle relationships with Friday’s early morning Full Moon shining in your 12th House of Secrets. Sudden revelations and awakened memories might make you feel less certain about yourself, or perhaps shake your trust in a partner. But if you can keep your mind open and your emotions from overheating, the Moon’s entry into rational Aquarius in the afternoon can free you to move ahead with a lighter load. Celebrate what makes you unique with those who know you best.

 

 

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

It’s understandable if you want to stay away from busy places this weekend. The Moon is hanging out in your secretive 12th House where your need for privacy grows stronger. Quiet time with one gentle person is all the entertainment you want, unless you’re so much in need of some rest that you’ll be even happier if everyone leaves you alone.

Daily Horoscopes for Saturday, July 9th

Yesterday’s intensity continues, yet our emotions may be easier to manage today. The Moon shifts into controlling Scorpio at 2:31 am EDT, helping us to contain our passions, while an early morning sextile from romantic Venus to expansive Jupiter pushes us to break out of our shells. A supportive sextile from logical Mercury to stabilizing Saturn sustains steady growth if we stop long enough to make a plan, instead of rushing ahead too soon.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Your impulsive reactions may create unnecessary trouble today, especially if you don’t acknowledge someone’s existing boundaries. There are times when it’s acceptable to push back against another person’s resistance, but it must be done in a thoughtful manner. Stop to consider if you may be stepping out of line. A healthy relationship depends upon your ability to respect your partner’s needs for personal space.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You may be quite optimistic today because your ruling planet Venus receives a positive attitude adjustment from joyful Jupiter. But anyone who actually takes the time to communicate with you quickly realizes that you’ve given serious thought to your current position. Others may be surprised by how practical your analysis is now. Nevertheless, it’s still a good idea to step through your plan one more time prior to taking action.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Reality comes back into focus slowly today, and it could take a few more days before your feet are both on the ground again. Nevertheless, you are tempted to milk an opportunity for all it can offer. There’s nothing wrong with trying to make a special moment last longer, but it’s also wise to pay attention to the cues you receive from others. Balancing your current desire to have fun with following a more serious agenda will give you the best of both worlds.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Your immediate environment feels more spacious today, giving you enough room to contemplate your feelings without judgmental restrictions by others. But this current openness may be daunting if you decide to share your thoughts, because you might not be able to figure out when to stop. Thankfully, you can use your common sense to balance your need for connection with your desire to be alone.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Although you may believe that you’re being adaptable, you’re more fixed than you realize today. Unfortunately, sticking to your original agenda might bring more frustration than happiness, especially if you pass up an interesting opportunity because of your lack of flexibility. Ultimately, it’s about trusting the process; letting go of control could turn an uncomfortable situation into a positive one.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You are happily surprised by the easy flow of feelings today, but you might feel challenged to maintain a cool analytical approach to your goals. Your subjectivity may have more impact than you wish, leading you to compensate by retreating into the safety of your logic. Although you are probably more comfortable trusting your thoughts rather than your emotions, shielding yourself from the uncertainties of your desires can also lessen the joy they bring.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your ruling planet Venus receives a boost from jolly Jupiter now, lifting your spirits higher and higher. Although you want to be indulged by someone you like, there may be a reason why you won’t allow yourself to let loose and have fun. As crucial as it is to live up to your promises and fulfill your responsibilities, it’s also important to recognize that you will have more to offer others in the long run if you take some time to enjoy yourself today.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

The Moon’s return to your sign brings wide mood swings, and you aren’t sure whether to feel happy or sad because each new opportunity also presents a serious obstacle. Fortunately, you should be able to work within the limits of nearly any situation now, as long as you don’t greedily expect something for nothing. Be willing to do the serious thinking, detailed planning and heavy lifting required to make the most of the present moment.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Much of what’s happening for you is hidden from others now, although they may think they know what you are experiencing. Fortunately, you realize that it’s wise to keep some of your feelings quiet, even though buoyant Jupiter helps you put on a great show of love and support. Don’t feel responsible to explain your thoughts to anyone today; it will be easier to discuss your secret worries next week.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You aren’t happy about dealing with someone if you know that he or she isn’t being honest with you. You intuitively sense when others are hiding their feelings, but you can’t confront them now or they’ll get defensive and slip deeper into denial. Your lesson now is to learn how to live with uncertainty. You won’t likely hear the rest of the story for a few days, so be patient and take comfort in knowing that you will discover the truth in time.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You like the positive vibes coming your way today because it feels as if others are encouraging you to be yourself. However, you can’t put your finger on something that doesn’t feel quite right. Unfortunately, you only grow more frustrated as you struggle to discover what you don’t know — especially because you actually might not be missing anything at all. There’s nothing you need to do now; your weird sense of uncertainty will pass. In the meantime, accept the support that you receive with humility and grace.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You are in a smooth emotional flow today, but you aren’t sure where the currents are heading. Thankfully, your destination isn’t what’s important; what matters is that you stay as open as possible so you can fully experience each moment. But this isn’t about escaping from responsibilities, for you still must fulfill your obligations. Don’t overanalyze what’s happening; your primary job now is to stay in touch with what’s in your heart.

New Moon Report for July 9th – Uranus Retrograde

Uranus Retrograde

Saturday, July 9

Revolution begins within when this radical planet turns retrograde. Freedom is not something that’s measured by what others allow us to do but comes from the liberty that we give ourselves. Uranus’ 5-month reversal could delay some external breakthroughs, but helps us recognize resistance so that we can free ourselves from self-imposed limitations.

Daily Horoscopes for July 6th

We receive stabilizing support from ambitious Saturn’s easy trine to assertive Mars because we’re able to see results from what we do today. It’s wise to use this energy to consciously start a project now without taking any shortcuts. Meanwhile, the discriminating Virgo Moon reminds us that perfection is worth attaining. Although we may become so hung up in the details as we consider each alternative, the answers won’t come from logical analysis.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Although this has been a high-intensity week, you’re ready to settle down and get some work done as your key planet Mars is motivated by taskmaster Saturn. Thankfully, the discriminating Virgo Moon helps you limit unnecessary activities. Rather than wasting time and scattering your energy, focus on the variety of things you have to do now. Even if it’s difficult for you to commit to a schedule, today it is required.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You may breathe a sigh of relief now that the Moon is in fellow Earth sign Virgo. A familiar wave of practicality washes away the heightened intensity of the past few days. But this is no time to get lazy, for there is still so much to do. Fortunately, your actions seem to be on target today, enabling you to accomplish what must be done.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You are pulled in several directions as you sort out the most productive way to move through your busy day. Although you’re eager for experiences that pique your curiosity, you don’t have enough time to take everything in. You may be quite talkative and wish that you could interact with nearly everyone you meet, but you must make tough choices and limit your activities. Finding balance isn’t easy, yet thinking carefully about your decisions before you make them assures the best possible outcome.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Others may not be able to see past your hard-working exterior today, but your emotions are running strong and deep. You’ll feel better once you take a few deep breaths and give yourself some time to contemplate what works best for you. Otherwise, you’ll just get swept up into doing what’s expected, even if it means hiding what’s truly important to you now. If anyone pressures you to do anything that’s outside of your comfort zone, set clear boundaries before things become more complicated.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

A melodrama is beginning to fade while your common sense grows stronger by the hour. You have no interest in being waylaid by anyone’s emotionally intense story today, especially one that appears to go nowhere useful. Instead, apply your efforts toward making your day more efficient. Work hard, but once you meet your obligations, choose rest over frivolous activities. Conserving your energy is wise because it will take you longer than a day or two to finish your project.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

The Moon’s visit to your sign is a strong reminder today that efficiently managing your internal world is a necessary part of putting your external affairs in order. Today’s attitude sets the stage for what’s ahead and if you let yourself become overwhelmed, things will only get harder to handle as the days fly by. But positive thinking isn’t enough; hard work is your most reliable tactic to achieve success.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You aren’t eager to reveal your innermost feelings today, but thankfully others might not even notice that you’re hiding something. It isn’t that you have big dark secrets; you’re just trying to prevent your relationships from growing more complicated. Consider the potential impact of what you do prior to taking action. Practicing a bit of self-restraint now is easier than dealing with the negative consequences afterward.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your friends may be overly critical about your work today as the Moon finishes up her stay in your social 11th house. Fortunately, you are self-assured now, enabling you to use the valuable feedback you receive without getting discouraged by anyone else’s judgments. Utilizing your common sense helps you avoid taking any comments too personally.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You want everyone to accept your authority today as the Moon moves through your 10th House of Public Status. However, it isn’t enough to be right; you also want others to appreciate you for your intelligence and your competence. Still, it’s tempting to get sidetracked by big ideas, so keep your plans simple and then do your best to make them real.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Ironically, it’s easier to have fun today if you also have responsibilities that demand your attention. Even if you cannot act on the spur of the moment to join others in a playful activity, you can include time for socializing into your schedule. As paradoxical as it sounds, establishing an agenda allows you to be more spontaneous.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

It’s challenging to focus on your work today when you have so much self-analysis going on in your own mind. You are smart to channel your internal noise into creative pursuits, rather than just wasting your energy. Don’t be concerned if others think you are too serious now. You have pressing matters to handle that don’t leave you with a lot of time to engage in social niceties. Your actions will speak for you, instead.

 

 

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Although you may want to do things your own way today, you’ll get along better with everyone if you respect the perspectives of others. Don’t get so wrapped up in your own work that you cannot be sensitive to someone else. But there’s no reason to set aside your own needs in deference to the preferences of your workmates. Finding common ground enables you to do your own thing while still following the rules of the game.

Your Deck of Ancient Symbols Card for July 5th is Venus

Your Deck of Ancient Symbols Card for Today

Venus

Venus represents those qualities we commonly associate with the female/yin persona. Venus traits include fertility and the drive to create, unblemished beauty, love, passion, and togetherness. The occurrence of Venus denotes the dominating presence or need of the qualities listed above. While often very subtle, Venetian influences may have a negative impact unless they are balanced with an influence that can temper the drive of Venus.

As a daily card, Venus suggest you should allow your more feminine traits to guide your actions through this period. Subtlety, efforts to bring people together and allowing your creativity to run free are likely to serve you well at this time. However, like Mars, the powers of Venus are very strong and can do more damage than good if not balanced by other influences.

Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, July 5th

On one hand, today’s efficient Virgo Moon narrows our thinking and focuses our attention on the smallest details. On the other hand, rational Mercury forms a stressful square with expansive Jupiter, inflating molehills into mountains. We can turn passing thoughts into grandiose plans or fleeting ideas into belief systems. Still, we won’t get away with sloppy logic because Mercury aligns with punishing Pluto, forcing us to rethink our conclusions.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You are tempted to turn every little insignificant idea into a world of unlimited potential. You can, as William Blake wrote, “see infinity in a grain of sand.” But reaching for the stars doesn’t mean that you will actually reach them. Nevertheless, just extending yourself beyond your normal limits can create opportunities that will lead you to a more fulfilling life.

 

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

No matter what you do to keep yourself on task today, you might not be able to resist an offer that sounds better than it is. Thankfully, you also need some personal space now, so you might be able to maintain a bit of distance between you and someone who entices you with a good idea. Don’t withdraw completely; just stay aware of what could happen if you leave your work undone.

 

 

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your key planet Mercury has you on a mental tilt-a-whirl today and it can be tricky to keep your bearings. Riding a wave of enthusiasm is fun, but you also have serious business to attend to now. Fortunately, your analytical powers are strong if you can remember to balance pleasure with practicality. But don’t try to take any shortcuts; managing your time wisely will pay off in the long run.

 

 

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You may feel stuck if your emotions aren’t in harmony with your experiences today, and your growing impatience provokes you to justify your impulsive actions. Your highly opinionated manner and apparent self-confidence might be a way to hide your fear, but you could take things too far if you’re not careful. Take a deep breath and bring yourself back to your center before your unsubstantiated facts land you in a pile of trouble.

 

 

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Your dilemma today stems from needing to find a healthy balance between overly cautious planning and acting recklessly. Thankfully, your organizational skills are operating efficiently today, enabling you to handle a lot of information. Nevertheless, pay attention to the practical constraints on your time and energy. You can be a star if you practice some self-discipline before you’re overcommitted.

 

 

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your approach to others can be very outgoing today, yet you would prefer to show more self-restraint. But the Moon in your sign could make you overly talkative, especially with perceptive Mercury in the spotlight. Don’t squander your mental resources; using words sparingly will give them extra impact. Remember, rambling on endlessly about your latest idea is not the best way to accomplish your goals. Do more and say less.

 

 

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You are clear about your current responsibilities, but you don’t necessarily want to follow through on them. Part of your problem now is that you might think everything should be easier than it really is. Believing that you’ll magically find a shortcut through the hard work could lead you to waste time looking for a quick fix. Conserve your energy for doing what’s actually necessary to get to the finish line.

 

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Stay away from philosophical or political debates today because you could actually be arguing with yourself, and not with anyone else. At times it might even be difficult to tell which side you’re on. However, you’re not really flip-flopping on the issues; it’s just that you can see multiple solutions that are sensible. Nevertheless, it’s better now to wait before committing to any one position.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You have a lot to do today because busy Mercury activates your key planet Jupiter in your 6th House of Work. Although it’s crucial to make positive changes in your daily routine, it’s not helpful to turn your whole world upside down. It can be tricky because it’s so easy for you to be distracted now by almost anything. Keep in mind that managing what’s on your plate currently is more important than dreaming about the future.

 

 

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You’re often the champion of organization and planning because you can maintain a healthy perspective under pressure. Typically, you are able to calculate what needs to be done to achieve your goals. Today, however, your reality filter may be a bit off as everything seems to have greater potential than it actually does, so it’s wise to avoid making impulsive decisions. Thankfully, a bit of consideration goes a long way, so think twice and give your answer once, after your common sense returns.

 

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You could set up a friend for disappointment today if you don’t establish limits on how much you’re willing to help. Your mind is racing and you’re tempted to agree to nearly anything just to quiet your worry. Unfortunately, this kind of logic won’t really solve the problem. Instead of taking the easy way out and then being unable to fulfill your promises, say what you’re truly feeling. The real answers now won’t likely be rational because they will come from your heart.

 

 

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your schedule may be overbooked today and this might turn into a real problem. Only one appointment needs to run late and your whole day could fall apart. Instead of setting yourself up for a disaster, take a more flexible approach. Something as simple as leaving extra time between events may be enough to prevent a major mess later on.

New Moon Report for July 3 – Venus in Cancer

Venus in Cancer

Sunday, July 3, 9:17 pm PDT, Monday, July 4, 12:17 am EDT

Love’s leading planet grows tender and self-protective in cuddly Cancer. The urge to return to familiar sources of comfort is an understandable reaction to outside pressure and internal insecurities. However, during the next nine days, Venus will follow the Sun’s rocky road of tense connections with Uranus, Pluto and Saturn to shake up relationships and self-worth. Finances could prove tricky, requiring innovation and flexibility since standing still or retreating might be even more costly.

 

Daily Horoscopes for Saturday, July 2

The Sun in emotional Cancer is restrained today by a stressful square to stoic Saturn, requiring us to withhold our feelings. Ironically, chatty Mercury enters boisterous Leo, encouraging expressive communication. But Mercury aligns with spacey Neptune, indicating that our words may not tell the whole story. Additionally, the Moon’s shift into fiery Leo at 5:42 pm EDT motivates us to be outgoing, but playful actions might actually hide our fears.
Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Resentment can grow out of frustration if you can’t figure out how to bring strong feelings out into the open. Your regular channels of communication may be blocked today, leading you to internalize your unexpressed feelings. But your inability to say what’s on your mind has less to do with external circumstances than with your need to process a lesson that you have been trying to avoid. The obstacles won’t seem so overwhelming if you are willing to face the truth.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Now that your life seems to be moving in a positive direction again, you aren’t eager to have to slow down for any reason. Nevertheless, easing off the gas pedal is a smart idea because you could lose control if you’re taking the curves too fast. Although you might try to keep up with all your current projects, circumstances could dictate otherwise. Be wise and practice some self-discipline before things get out of hand.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You cannot waste energy and get away with it today because you are under pressure to get a lot accomplished and there’s very little margin for error. You don’t have much of a choice; you must pay attention to taskmaster Saturn as it gives you a stern reality check. However, just listening to the message is not enough. Narrow your concentration so you can focus on the most critical matters first.

 
Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You may retreat from a social situation today because someone hurts your feelings, even if it’s unintentional. You could take a setback so seriously that you just want to stay home and be by yourself. However, withdrawing is not the most intelligent strategy now. Instead of concentrating on your disappointment, figure out how to improve your productivity. If you are accomplishing what you set out to do, you’re less likely to have time to be bothered by the inconsiderate actions of others.

 
Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Although you may be the first one to say you want to have fun, it’s not that easy to set aside your responsibilities in favor of pleasure. Usually, you can easily discuss the alternative plans before determining the best way to handle the current temptations. However, your tendency is to keep your misgivings secret today. Push up against your resistance and take a risk. Others won’t judge you so quickly if you share what’s on your mind with them.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You are determined to maintain your integrity now by doing exactly what you promise, but distractions and obstructions continue to alter your course. You may be excited to head in an unknown direction, but you are on a mission and every setback brings more frustration. You can gain a lot of strength by staying on your spiritual path, rather than wandering around aimlessly. Remember, you cannot reach your destination if you stop to explore every alternative along the way.

 
Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

It’s not apparent where so much resistance is coming from now, but you could bump into stone walls no matter which way you turn. Even your friends that are normally helpful seem to be blocking your way today. Thankfully, you have a secret weapon that you can use to your advantage: your ability to wait. Patience, combined with unflappable determination, is your ticket through this difficult obstacle course.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You are following a path that you have been down before. However, you discover that even paved highways have fallen into decay and are difficult to traverse. No matter that you were previously moving along smoothly, now every step is a small victory and you need to work hard to gain more ground. Today’s progress may feel good but will probably leave you exhausted. Don’t take on too much; it’s better to do one job well than to do several things haphazardly.

 
Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You do what you can to put your best foot forward, even in light of discouraging news today. It isn’t easy to overcome a setback just by changing your mind. There are other concerns about the people you love and your role in the community. You have a lot to think about now, but rest assured your perspective will be better tomorrow. Allow a couple of days for things to turn around before reassessing the situation.

 
Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Your somber attitude may be misinterpreted today as incurable pessimism; however, you don’t feel as negative as you appear. You understand exactly what’s required to reach your goals and are willing to do whatever you must to deliver on your promises. However, others may express their doubts now, but don’t let them talk you out of your beliefs. Approach the future with a realistic outlook to prevent unnecessary disappointment later on.

 
Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

The connection between your current inability to express yourself freely and others holding you back might be more challenging than you think. In fact, your creativity may be squelched by Saturn’s square to the Sun. Be careful; don’t jump to conclusions today or you could waste a lot of energy incorrectly blaming others for your dilemma. Taking total responsibility for your own actions is a healthy place to start.

 
Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

It doesn’t feel good if a friend suddenly withdraws his or her support today. The cold shoulder you are receiving doesn’t seem to be an appropriate response to your hard work, leaving you feeling angry and confused. Don’t waste time or energy complaining; instead, take the high road and finish what you started. The more you stay focused now, the easier it will be next week when the challenging Sun-Saturn alignment begins to fade.

Overview of July Horoscope 2011

July Horoscope 2011

by Jeff Jawer
 

Let Go and Grow 

July starts with the New Moon in cautious Cancer, which normally spurs sensitivity, sentimentality and an interest in holding onto the past. Memories occupy minds and hearts when attending to current domestic issues, which are likely to be more important. Stressful aspects from unpredictable Uranus, strict Saturn and pungent Pluto make it hard to feel secure. A desire to back away from present challenges, though, is at best a temporary escape rather than a solution to real issues.

This yearning for yesteryear lessens a bit on July 2 when communicative Mercury enters bold and outspoken Leo. This transit, lasting until the 28th, is excellent for humorous expression and creative ideas. Sure, we can go a little over the top with self-indulgent concepts and egocentric ways of talking. Yet if we avoid taking ourselves or others too seriously, we can enjoy the entertaining show of minds exploring new territory and feel inspired for the future.

Cancer the Crab’s connection to safe and familiar people and places gets more support when loving Venus enters this sign on July 4. The planet of romance seeks safety instead of adventure in Cancer, making it hard to experiment in matters of style and of the heart. Nostalgia paints beautiful pictures of the past that cover up much of its imperfections. Idealizing an old partnership is only helpful if you can take a lesson from it and apply it to your present life. Venus in Cancer is a time for adults to recognize that needs may be real but they can also grow and change over time, which is what really keeps love alive.

A powerful trine between expansive Jupiter and potent Pluto on July 7 can deepen conviction and beliefs. However, their strength and the ability to build a life based on them require careful examination. Truth, like love, is alive with growth and change. Don’t be afraid to doubt what you know as this transit will reward those who examine their truths and limit individuals who refuse to question them.

The Full Moon in crusty Capricorn on July 15 is a faceoff between duty (Capricorn) and instinct (Cancer). Finding balance between discipline and emotion is the lesson of this security testing lunation. On the 23rd the Sun strides into noble Leo, opening hearts and expanding pride. Leo’s drama may increase with Venus’ entry into the sign on the July 28. This transit kicks romance into higher gear for those willing to invest themselves fully into it, but it can disappoint those seeking heartfelt connections who are unable to take the risks required to achieve them. A dash of rationality returns with mental Mercury’s move into analytic Virgo, adding needed logic to these dramatic times.
