Your Weekly Love Horoscopes for Sept. 16th – 22nd

Love is serious business this week. Wednesday’s conjunction of Venus to Saturn in Scorpio suggests it’s time to move past any surface-level or lighthearted romantic ideology. The universe wants to know whether or not your love has what it takes to survive the depths of despair together. Staying together is easy when times are good, but the true test of a partnership happens during the bad times. Venus and Saturn together in Scorpio will symbolize a major awakening that revolves around the durability of your romantic bond — even through the darkness. Still, don’t assume that you’ll experience a rough patch with your mate. If you know your love is solid, this week appears to reinforce that. Venus will also be at a perfect sextile to Pluto, assuring that the more open you are to being vulnerable with your partner, the more transcendental your union can truly be.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Fearless communication will be the hallmark of your love life early in the week. On Tuesday, a gorgeous link between Mercury and Mars may prompt you to talk to your lover about sex. Is there a discrepancy between your respective needs in the bedroom? Do you have a fantasy that you’ve always wanted your mate to participate in? If so, this will be the time to speak up. Adding to the strong support of intimate conversation is Wednesday’s conjunction of Venus and Saturn in your 8th House of Shared Resources. Repressing deep sexual needs will only add tension to your relationship. It’s time to open up.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Things between you and your partner will likely come to a head this week. Saturn, the planet of limitation and tests, has been touring your 7th House of Relationships since October 2012. This signals a karmic cycle where any existing partnership may endure tests that help you to decipher how viable your relationship truly is. If you’ve been feeling the tension lately, Wednesday might be a turning point — for better or worse. Venus and Saturn will collide in your 7th House of Relationships. If you’re not feeling appreciated by your mate, you’ll make your feelings known.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

If you’re single and looking for love, this week will be the perfect time to ask someone out on a first date, or to indulge in some flirty communication! On Tuesday, Mercury, in your 5th House of Love and Pleasure, will be at a perfect sextile to Mars, in your 3rd House of Communication. This is your chance to make a bold statement to someone special and be confident that it’ll get you noticed! Most likely, it’ll be in a positive way, thanks to the added support of the Sun moving into your 5th House of Love and Pleasure by Sunday. Make love happen!

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Whether you’re in a relationship or not, matters of the heart are certain to weigh heavily on your mind this week. If you’re single, it’s possible that you’ll feel that extra pang of loneliness due to Wednesday’s connection of Venus to Saturn in your 5th House of Love and Pleasure. The lesson is not to resign yourself to negative, depressed notions of your love potential. Rather, now is the time for you to make a resolute declaration about what you will and won’t put up with in order to feel loved. If you’re attached, Venus and Saturn will both connect to Pluto in your 7th House of Relationships this week, offering the opportunity to give serious consideration to your commitment. Remember: We accept the love we think we deserve.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

These days, your love life and your family life might not exactly blend perfectly together. If you’re dating someone new and have recently brought your sweetheart to a domestic function, you may have the clear feeling that your lover and your clan aren’t hitting it off. This sticky situation might weigh heavily on you, particularly on Wednesday, as Venus and Saturn connect in your 4th House of Home and Family Life. The best thing you can do now is avoid trying to force the issue. That will only make someone you love feel alienated. Thursday’s Full Moon in your 8th House of Deep Transformation might stir up your deeper emotional side. Are you willing to really let love in?

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Speaking from the heart might not be as easy as you think, but when it comes to love it’s the only way. On Wednesday, Venus and Saturn will link up in your 3rd House of Communication, making it clear that whatever you convey about love is anything but superficial. If you’re feeling insecure about communicating your feelings to someone special, ask yourself why this is the case. What are you afraid of? Rejection is always the chance we take when we open our hearts, but if you’re not willing to take the risk, you’ll never experience the joy that love has to offer. Thursday’s Full Moon in your 7th House of Relationships amplifies the sensitive attention you’ll have in a partnership matter.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Ever-concerned about relationships and your place in them, Libra, these days you’re able to effectively communicate what you need in a union. This is a welcome change of pace, because you’re typically so concerned with what the other person requires, often at the cost of yourself. On Tuesday, Mercury in Libra will be at a fine angle to Mars, which gives courageous communication in a social, nonthreatening way. If single, you might reach out to someone new and initiate a conversation on a social media or Internet dating site. You have nothing to lose! In fact, with the Sun entering your sign on Sunday, all eyes will surely be on you.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

A significant turning point in your love life is possible this week. You’re certainly not in the mood to play games, and if you suspect that your lover is, well, you’re just not having it. A sober conjunction between Venus and Saturn in Scorpio on Wednesday screams that you want to be taken seriously when it comes to love. You’re not the type who will settle for an arm candy relationship, and these days superficiality is an even greater turn off. On Thursday, a Full Moon in your 5th House of Romance will make it perfectly clear to your lover that if you can’t have it all, you’d rather have nothing.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

The pangs of unrequited love may be especially harsh this week. On Wednesday, Venus and Saturn will connect in your 12th House of Privacy — which is also associated with isolation and anxiety. With this combination, romantic feelings you have for someone that have clearly been restricted from expression might leave you more wistful than usual. Try not to spend the entire week moping over lost opportunity or regretting words that you may or may not have spoken to this person. Recognize that it’s time to move on. What’s meant to be yours will not pass you by.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Friendship and love are not two mutually exclusive relationships in your book — especially these days. With Venus traveling through your 11th House of Friends and Associations until October 7, you’ll pay careful attention to the level of camaraderie you have with a potential love interest. If there’s one particular friend you’ve had for ages, it’s possible that you’re fraught with romantic feelings for him or her. On Wednesday, Venus and Saturn will connect in your 11th House of Friends and Associations and it may be time for you to take a deep breath and reveal your sentiments. Worrying about rejection or that it may change your friendship with this person is pointless now. Be honest with yourself: It already has.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Your point of view may change this week, thanks to the influence of your partner. He or she may expose you to a previously unchartered philosophy, religion or other school of thought. If so, you’ll feel extremely stimulated by the newfound awareness. You’ll ask the big questions and will attempt to answer them together. The best part, however, is that you’re not as concerned about the answers as you are about the journey you’ll take that will lead you towards them. Lucky for you, your mate feels the exact same way. Enjoy the mental simpatico.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You’ll be extra sensitive this week, thanks to Thursday’s Full Moon in your sign. You’ll be emotionally open, for sure, and extremely sentimental. This will translate into your love life as you’ll feel an even deeper yearning to share unconditional, soul-mate, fairy-tale romance with someone special. In fact, by Sunday, when the Sun enters your 8th House of Intimacy, you’ll be ready to share yourself completely with a lover. Body and soul. That’s the sexual experience you’ll crave. Luckily, now you’ve got every chance to capture it. If, however, you’re with someone who leaves your physical and spiritual cup empty, you might decide to make a change. Above all, be true to yourself.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday, Sept. 11th

Maintaining a steady rhythm is a challenge today because we are in the midst of an energetic shift. We don’t feel so carefree now, even though the Moon enters cavalier Sagittarius at 2:35 am EDT. We can act out our aggression and then compensate by retreating just a few moments later because assertive Mars anxiously aligns with uncompromising Pluto. The heat is cranked up another notch as pleasure-seeking Venus tangos into passionate Scorpio.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You’re eager to apply what you recently learned to a complex situation at work, but you might not realize the consequences of your current actions. There are dynamic changes on your horizon now that sweet Venus has taken up residence in your 8th House of Deep Sharing. It’s time to ask yourself what you want from others while you can still see the potential of what’s ahead. Keep in mind that everything feels very intense today, so move forward slowly with kindness and compassion.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

Collaborating with others continues to be your main focus when your key planet Venus enters your 7th House of Partners today. Thankfully, now you can see beyond the doubts that have previously limited your actions. But instead of wondering how you will complete everything on your plate, think about what motivates the people in your life. Ask questions and actively listen to what is said because you could learn something valuable about yourself as you discover more about someone else’s experiences.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

Strangely enough, you may not be able to tell if your life is growing simpler or more complex. Your goal was to create a schedule that allows you enough time for yourself, but now everything seems to be changing again. Go ahead and grab an opportunity to play while you still can, for your work might not afford you so much free time during the next few weeks. If it appears like others are having more fun than you, don’t complain; temporarily set aside your current concerns and join the party.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

You want to be enthusiastic about your job today, although you may have to work on recapturing your earlier vision. You might start your day feeling resentful toward someone who won’t cooperate with you. But there’s no reason to hold onto negative feelings. As others grow more supportive in return, make a choice to graciously accept what they offer while still pushing your agenda forward.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Resolving an interpersonal conflict in the morning gives you the maximum amount of time to make the most of the rest of your day. Someone at work might bring you an opportunity that looks promising, but you would be wise to do your due diligence before just saying yes. Ultimately, your new direction may turn out great, but you could easily mislead yourself if you don’t check out the facts thoroughly. Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your current sense of nostalgia might lure you back into your past, but, paradoxically, this sentimentality can put you in touch with someone who shares your search for meaning. Fortunately, your memories also activate feelings in the present moment. However, don’t fall into the trap of believing that a current situation is the same as a past one. Ultimately, your future success comes from looking forward, not backward.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Today may seem busier than recent days, partly because you are enthusiastic about getting a lot done. The cheery Sagittarius Moon wires your 3rd House of Immediate Environment, but you could end up spinning your wheels throughout the day and still not have anything tangible to show for your efforts. Avoid the temptation to scatter your energy. Slowing down and checking one thing off your list at a time leads to higher productivity and more satisfying results.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You’re on the threshold of an exciting opportunity and may be entranced by sweet Venus’ entry into your powerful sign, provoking both desire and fear. You’re aware of the changes in the air and understand that you can’t rely on your old ways of doing things. It’s time to let unfulfilled dreams fade away so you can create new ones that are more relevant and realistic. Ultimately, you’ll feel better once you step away from the past and move into the future.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You may have recently experienced a challenging emotional situation when you had to relinquish control for a while. Now, with the evocative Moon back in your sign, you are reawakening to your own desires. You’re motivated to go out and get whatever you want. However, your enthusiasm could be too much if you ride roughshod over someone’s feelings. Remember to balance your goals with the needs of others. You are not alone; your happiness is intertwined with the well-being of the people you love.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

If you are reconsidering your long-term trajectory, it may be time to think about setting new goals and aiming your life in an entirely different direction. Whether or not you actually make any changes now, put away your fantasies and consider only what’s real. However, this is not about giving up on your dreams; it’s more about putting them in proper perspective. Letting go of old expectations frees you to create a more relevant strategy. Once you have a plan in place, you might be pleasantly surprised with the speed of change.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

It may feel like a split-personality day, yet holding both perspectives can test your metal. You have a lot to gain by stepping into your power and entertaining visions of the future now that the expansive Sagittarius Moon is visiting your 11th House of Future Dreams. However, you must also be practical when considering what to do because valuable Venus enters your career-minded 10th House today. Personal satisfaction comes from balancing possibilities with practicalities.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Wake up and snap out of your dreams, especially if you’ve been lost in fantasies about exotic adventures and far-off lands. There’s nothing wrong with letting your thoughts wander, but the Moon’s shift into your 10th House of Public Responsibility reflects the work you have to do now. You can’t afford the luxury of drifting in the impractical realms of your imagination today. However, don’t lose touch with your hopes; just express them in the real world, for this is where your vision must ultimately manifest.

For

Sunday, September 1

Aries (March 21 – April 19)

After spending days learning to simultaneously pat your head and rub your tummy, you will move on today to patting your head and rubbing someone else’s tummy.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

You will find a strangely heavy small gold ring today, embedded in the center of an obviously volcanic rock. There is some writing, in a script unlike any you’ve ever seen, running around the ring, although you can’t really see it unless you heat it up in a fire…

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

Everyone you see will be “power walking” today. Ignore them — they’re just trying to get on your nerves.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

Beware! The Celestial Jade Emperor may banish you to the Big Grumpy Place if you don’t start paying more attention to the four Winds. Obviously, this is a metaphor, somehow involving Cleveland.

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

You will walk into a door frame today, and people will smirk. Remember though, they’re smirking with you, not at you.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

Your neighbors’ will have a wild party, which you’ll catch glimpses of through the open window. You’ll know you shouldn’t watch, but it’s just hard to imagine how people can do that, especially on a trampoline.

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

Avoid yodeling today.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

It’s about time you became better acquainted with mustard. Get yourself 7 different kinds of mustard, and try them with oven baked home fried potatoes, or in sandwiches with good bread and fresh vegetables and some excellent Swiss cheese. My granddaddy Stonebender always used to say “Take a big enough bite of strong mustard, and your other problems will seem insignificant.”

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

Someone will turn a cold shoulder to you, and your feelings will be hurt. You’ll get even by turning a tepid elbow to them, later. Just don’t let it escalate to the blazing ankles stage, is all.

Capricorn (December 22 – January 20)

Nothing ventured, nothing gained, is the rule for now. In fact, “nothing” will play a very large part in your future.

Aquarius (January 21 – February 18)

You will soon need to look older than you actually are. Bushy eyebrows generally do the trick. You’ll find that a little rubber cement and a pair of sleepy hamsters are just what you need.

Pisces (February 19 – March 20)

You’ve been thinking about stealing, to support your phonics habit. It’s time for you to seek professional help.

We may withhold our feelings if they’re too strong to express now that the Moon is visiting secretive Scorpio. Intense energies are already at play, yet we’re encouraged to delve beneath the surface and face hidden emotions. Meanwhile, mental Mercury is stressing ruthless Pluto to add power to our ideas. We are caught in a cosmic current that pulls us into unfamiliar waters and our words may get us into trouble if we say everything we feel.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You prefer to be in total control of your life; however, you need others to participate now, because they bring additional resources to your plans. Thankfully, you still can manifest your own destiny; you just have to use a bit of teamwork to reach your destination. Although it may be necessary to make changes to your original agenda, compromise works in your favor in the long run.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

It feels as if you are moving in and out of a dream today as you attempt to establish a connection point in the reality of your life. You are in an intense mode of operation and lost in your own thoughts. However, people in your immediate environment cannot be ignored, yet it also seems as if they don’t want to make your life any easier. Push past your discomfort and communicate; it’s better to know what you’re up against than to have your head in the clouds.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

There is a tricky situation developing and you need to separate out the big ideas floating around so you can dig into the specific problems. Unfortunately, you’re not going to be able to skate your way through this predicament. Ironically, if you set your feelings aside in order to deal with the volatility of the situation, things will work out better than you could imagine.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Your passions need a creative outlet now as the tumultuous Scorpio Moon moves through your 5th House of Romance. You want to have fun without necessarily sacrificing depth of feeling on an energetic level. This means that your personal expressions have intensity, yet they won’t be overwhelming to others today. Your ability to gently uncover the motives of a close friend or partner allows you to share your emotions without risking too much vulnerability.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Today’s annoyances may blossom into tomorrow’s full-blown frustration unless you take care of managing your feelings in the present moment. But staying in tune with your emotions requires more attention than you want to give. Nevertheless, you can ease the pressure by facing whatever is sitting just beneath the surface and bringing it out into the open. It might not seem like a good idea at first, but your disclosure will relieve some of the tension and allow you to enjoy your day.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

It’s all about your unexpressed thoughts today as your key planet Mercury forms a tense aspect to controlling Pluto. Your biggest concern isn’t deciding what to share; instead, you must choose what you won’t mention. You might believe that it’s smarter to say nothing at all and just bury your whole story. Unfortunately, keeping quiet won’t work now because the truth will just slip out anyhow. Open the door to communication before it is too late.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

The waters are growing choppier and the winds are picking up now. The keel on your boat has kept you fairly level, but you may end up on the rocks unless you’re extra vigilant. It’s challenging to tell if your ship is riding deeper in the water or if the water has become shallow. Either way, you must get to the bottom of the issue in order to reestablish your equilibrium. As you realize the value of what you bring to the situation, your vessel will surprisingly regain its proper attitude.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You are normally ready to dive headfirst into the emotional underworld and into your hidden dreams to visit your fears and insecurities when the Moon returns to your sign. But now, even your own inner guides may give you the silent treatment. It’s difficult for you to know what is real and what is illusion. It feels as if everyone around you is in a conspiracy to hide something — and they are all in on the secret except for you. However, don’t dig too deeply today. What you need to know will be revealed in due time.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You may want to withdraw into your own little world by running away from your responsibilities; unfortunately, this is not a viable option at this time in your life. There are simply too many demands being made on you now. You’re responsible to think things through clearly — not only for your own benefit, but also for everyone else. Ultimately, you can do whatever is required in record time, but in your mind, you’re already enjoying your personal retreat.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may be expected to do something for the group that you feel isn’t in your own best interest; understandably, this creates an awkward dilemma. You know what your long-term goals are, but have to set them aside for a bit as you fulfill previous commitments. Nevertheless, others continue to distract you with intense emotional needs and you cannot ignore them completely. The more you’re able to keep your mind on the practical side of things, the easier it is to perform your duties.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You don’t mind complexity; in fact, you’re often drawn to tricky mental puzzles and complicated concepts. However, you don’t like unresolved emotional issues as much. Unfortunately, there are weird power struggles now arising in your life, but you cannot yet tell where the tension is coming from. Secrecy only heightens the problem. The best thing you can do is keep as much as possible out in the open. The truth is the best defense against confusion. Initiating a friendly dialogue disarms even the toughest enemies.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your acute hypersensitivity might put you on edge today. You feel every wave in the sea of consciousness, and it may be a difficult task to know what to do with all these perceptions. Ironically, the emotional intensity can be so overwhelming that you choose to do nothing at all. Your key to making it through the day smiling is to concentrate on the small things and do them well. Leave the big picture for another day when you’re feeling more like yourself.

When You're Going Through Hell, Keep Going

When You’re Going Through Hell, Keep Going

How outer planet transits are shaking up your life

Maria DeSimone on the topics of uranus, saturn, pluto, neptune, blogs, astrology

Outer planets Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are heavy hitters. These guys mean business, and when they transit a personal planet (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus and Mars) or angle in your chart by close degree, you can count on upsets in your world.

Right now, it’s fascinating to note that not one zodiac sign is immune from an outer planet transit. If you’re a Fixed sign (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius), we give you the transit of Saturn in Scorpio. If you’re a Mutable sign (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces) then you’re the winner of a Neptune in Pisces transit. And if you’re a Cardinal sign (Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn), well then, you’ve won the cosmic jackpot. That’s because you get the simultaneous transit of Uranus in Aries and Pluto in Capricorn.

When I consult with my clients, or even look around the lives of my own family members, I see the fascinating difference that each type of outer planetary transit has in their world. The common theme is change through developmental tension, ultimately leading to personal growth. For each outer planet that transits something vital in your horoscope, it can feel like you’re going through the muck. I’m reminded of the famous Winston Churchill quote these days more than ever:

“When you’re going through hell, keep going.”

Easier said than done, right? And yet, we humans are a resilient bunch. We can take so much pressure from the outside world — and even from our own creation — and not only manage to survive, but thrive.

Even hell has an end

What resonates most about this quote as I apply it to astrological cycles is the reminder that even hell has an ending. Eventually, you’ll get out and come to the other side of pain. Eventually, you’ll see the light again. Yet the only way to ensure that is to keep going through the darkness.

While it’s true that every outer planetary transit to your horoscope has the commonality of morphing your world through a series of stressful circumstances, it’s important to note that each outer planet has a very different style, or modus operandi, with which he accomplishes this.

I thought it might be helpful to briefly clarify the differences so that when you or someone you know experiences a transit, you’ll have an idea of how the specific outer planet goes about achieving his mission.

What Saturn transits can teach

Saturn transits change through restrictive, limiting and sometimes overbearing circumstances. Saturn is also discipline, responsibility and authority. There are many different ways in which this can happen. Let’s say you’re having a Saturn transit to your 10th House of Career. This angle of the chart is concerned with your status in life, your professional goals and ambitions, and authority figures in your world.

When Saturn comes to this point in your horoscope (and we all get this transit about once every 29 years) it can either be an incredible career pinnacle, where you’re recognized as the authority in your industry, or it can be a time of drudgery, where, in the eyes of the boss, your best is never good enough.

The positive end of this transit uses the most illuminative qualities of Saturn to help you master your goals. The shadow is felt as roadblock after roadblock as you work ferociously to get your name out there. Either way Saturn crystalizes what he touches. That’s how he teaches.

Uranus can shake you awake

What if Uranus was transiting the same angle in your chart? Uranus is the great awakener of the zodiac. He presents radical change in our life in the most sudden, unexpected way. When transiting Uranus crosses your 10th house you can expect sudden opportunity in career or a sudden change in status (going from married to divorced or divorced to married are examples).

This is also a time of waking up to what liberates you in terms of your life direction and following it. Uranus teaches by destabilizing what it touches, forcing us to accommodate to these shifts and get in touch with our brilliance.

Neptune transits point to gain through loss

How about good old Neptune? Neptune dissolves what it touches. When you have a Neptune transit, something — or someone — tends to slip through your fingers. This can also be a time of tremendous idealism because of the extraordinary spiritual component of Neptune.

A transit of Neptune to your 10th house can result in a major ego loss professionally or personally. There might be a scandal involving you that obliterates your reputation if you have been going down an unsavory path. Alternatively, this might be a time you decide to follow your imaginative career goals and pursue that opportunity in music, film, photography or the healing arts.

What will disappear during this transit is your attachment to the status in life you held before Neptune arrived. Neptune transits teach us by softening us up enough to allow illumination in.

Surrendering to planet Pluto

And then there’s Pluto. This planet, more than any other, likes it in hell. He is, after all, the God of the underworld. When you’re having a Pluto transit you know it because the pain you endure can be brutal. Pluto teaches through elimination. He kills off what you no longer need — what is actually impeding you from soul growth.

The more you fight Pluto on this, the harder your transit will be. Do yourself a favor and when Pluto comes calling, prepare to surrender. You’re only job during a Pluto transit is to accept the transformation. Even if it hurts. Especially when it hurts. Pluto is the planet of power, and if he happens to transit your 10th house you can either arrive at an incredible position of power (sometimes notoriety) professionally, or you can fall from a position of power if you’ve been abusing your clout.

Either way, Pluto teaches you that with great power comes great responsibility and if you’re not using it for the greater good, when he transits your 10th house he’s going to rip it right away.

So, are you going through hell right now? Join the club. My advice? Keep it moving.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Monday, August 12th

Relationships may intensify today as we grow less willing to acquiesce in the spirit of cooperation. The diplomatic Libra Moon encourages compromise, but we’re ready to act on our feelings once the Moon enters resolute Scorpio at 4:17 pm EDT. However, lingering fears from yesterday’s stressful Mercury-Saturn square could still raise issues of self-doubt. Learning to show vulnerability is more important than impressing everyone with our finesse.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Your emotions sink into the deep waters of your subconscious, making the next few days a bit uncomfortable. Nevertheless, a wise inner voice reminds you that your fiery nature gains strength when it is supported by your dreams. Don’t be overly concerned if you’re feeling a bit disconnected from your current circumstances. Have faith in your inner journey and trust the process of expressing what is in your heart.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

Although you may not yet understand what is happening in a partnership, you must continue to flow with the energy to make the most of the process. The relationship axis is activated in your chart now as the evocative Moon moves through your 7th House of Partnerships. Even if you would prefer to be more grounded, you might have to be satisfied today with temporary instability. Listening to what others say helps you gain a fresh perspective on the situation until your clarity returns.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

You might feel as if you are smoothly gliding along and skating right over a rather bumpy situation. However, you must stay in motion because problems don’t seem to affect your pace as long as you have enough momentum. It’s like your feet are just skimming over the surface, but as soon as you slow down, you fall into the intensity of an emotional drama. Listen to your common sense and keep moving as fast as you can.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Emotional desires wash over your life in waves once the Moon shifts back into sister water sign Scorpio this afternoon. A relationship that may have started as a practical arrangement now begins to heat up. You don’t mind the intensity, for it puts you in touch with feelings that make you think you’re young all over again, no matter how old you actually are. Don’t try to intellectualize what’s going on. Just enjoy your reactions to the current circumstances while they last.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your detached approach won’t be enough to get you through the day. You need to experience the uncertainty that goes with expressing the raw emotions that evade logic and rational thought. Any attempts to sidestep your truth will only cause more trouble down the road. Your mind is active, but you must avoid the temptation of reducing complex emotional networks into overly simplistic statements of fact. Feel your way today, instead.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

The decisions you are trying to finalize today may have taken a lot out of you emotionally over these past weeks. Thankfully, it’s time to make your choices now so you can begin to reap the rewards. Don’t focus on your lack of certainty because you will feel better as soon as you move past this blockage, no matter what you choose. A little progress is better than none at all.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Truth isn’t something that you normally like to obscure, but there may be secrets that create a subtle tension in your interactions with others today. Someone might even be covertly working behind your back in an effort to undermine what you’re doing. He or she isn’t necessarily an enemy, but could simply disagree with your perspective or strategy. The more information you can bring out into the open, the better it will ultimately be for everyone involved.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You’re dissatisfied with your responsibilities today because you would rather put your efforts toward something more useful than what you are now required to do. You might have duties that scatter your energy all over the place. Even if you do what others expect, you still may feel as if you haven’t finished what’s really on your plate. Ironically, simple communication, coupled with taking small steps, is what will pay off in the long run.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Your thoughts are spinning in circles today because you can’t quite grasp the issues at hand. You know enough to see how deep a subject goes, which means that a quickly applied bandage will not solve the problem. Save your unexpressed anger for another day; it won’t help anyone now. Instead, cool logic mixed with non-judgmental compassion can bring you closer to the truth — and the truth sets you free.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may claim that you don’t understand the full ramifications of what’s happening now, but your feelings are probably clearer than you profess. You might just be avoiding an unpleasant argument, for as soon as you open your mouth the discussion can get heated. As long as you don’t become overly self-righteous, you’ll do fine in convincing others that you have something significant to say. Speak from your heart; the rest will follow.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for August 12th

[All times are calculated for the Pacific Daylight Zone. If you are living in a different time zone, add or subtract the necessary hours so that any timed alignment will be exact where you live.] Keep a special notebook by your bed to record dreams, visions, and out-of-the-body adventures as the Moon parallels Neptune (1:29AM). With the Moon still in void mode in Libra until 1:19PM, psychic tensions can build up — especially as the Sun forms a subtle and yet still meaningful, 30-degree liaison to Mars (3:03AM). Hopefully, a sense of logic, common sense and decorum will return a few hours later during a Moon-Saturn parallel (6:02AM). A main shift of the day involves the Moon switching allegiance from airy Libra to watery Scorpio (1:19PM). The Moon transiting through the eighth sign of the zodiac is a diamond mine for anyone skilled as a would-be sleuth, psychologist or investigator. Over the next 48 hours, you have the dynamic power to explore forgotten realms of childhood fantasy and ferret out familial secrets. Take a time-out from the stressful happenings of the past week to experiment with a digital or video camera as the Moon trines Neptune in water signs (9:06PM). Try your hand at rhyme poetry, limericks or haiku for a change of pace. A respected mentor’s teachings reach deep into your core values during the monthly Moon-Saturn conjunction (11:49PM). Just make sure you steer clear of a tendency toward self-doubt and pessimism.

Gardnerian Traditional Witchcraft –B.14. Skyclad (1953)

B.14. Skyclad (1953)
It is important to work naked from the start, so it becometh as second nature, and no thought of “I have no clothes” shall ever intrude and take your attention from the work. Also, your skin being so accustomed to unconfinement, when power is given off the flow is more easy and regular. Also, when dancing you are free and unconfined. . . .
And the greatest of all, the touch of the body of your beloved thrills your inmost soul, and so your body gives out its utmost power; and then it is most important of all that there is not the slightest thing to divert the attention, for then the mind must seize and mold the power generated, and redirect it to the desired end with all the force and frenzy of the imagination.
It has been said that no real knowledge may be gained our way, that our practices are such that they can only lead to lust; but this is not really so. Our aim is to gain the inner sight, and we do it the most natural and easy way. Our opponents’ aim is ever to prevent man and woman from loving, thinking that everything that helps or even permits them to love is wicked and vile. To us it is natural, and if it aids the Great Work it is good.
‘Tis true that a couple burning with a frenzy for knowledge may go straight to their goal, but the average couple have not this fire. We show them the way, our system of props and aids (i.e., magic ritual). A couple working with nothing but lust will never attain in any case; but a couple who love each other dearly should already be sleeping together, and the first frenzy of love will have passed, and their souls will already be in sympathy. If the first time or two they do stay a while to worship Aphrodite, ’tis only a day or two lost, and the intense pleasure they obtain only leads them again to the mysteries of Hermes, their souls more attuned to the great search. Once they have pierced the veil they will not look back.
This rite may be used as the greatest of magics if it be done with both partners firmly fixing their minds on the object and not thinking of sex at all. That is, you must so firmly fix your mind on your object that sex and all else are naught. You inflame your will to such an extent that you may create a strain on the astral such that events happen.

Saturn Retrograde in 2013

Firm up your foundation instead of starting something new

Maria DeSimone on the topics of saturn, insight, astrology

Saturn, the planet of discipline, limitation, structure and responsibility, turns retrograde every year for about five months. In 2013, the retrograde period will begin on February 18 and will last until July 8. During this time, everything that supports the foundation of your world will be up for review. Sound ominous? Well, don’t panic. Saturn is retrograde for a long time every single year. Unlike the personal planets (Mercury, Venus and Mars) the retrograde of outer planets usually don’t have a dramatic effect on our day to day life. Still, the symbolism and significance behind Saturn Retrograde is useful to understand since it will be a time to reevaluate personal boundaries, obligations and goals.

Typically, Saturn Retrograde is not the ideal time to begin new commitments, particularly ones that will affect your status and reputation. It is, however, the perfect time to reassess your existing obligations. Are you rising to the occasion or have you taken on more than you can handle? Since Saturn Retrograde will slow the pace down, you’ll begin to notice whether or not you’re making the grade on current projects. You’ll have an opportunity to improve your strategy and organization on a project that’s meaningful to you. Alternatively, you may take stock in a venture you’re involved in and realize that it’s no longer something you want to remain committed to … and that’s ok! As long as you’re honest about whether or not this endeavor has become a source of pain or obstruction and then act accordingly, you’re using Saturn Retrograde exactly as you should.

Put the business on ice

Since Saturn has a natural correlation to one’s professional status, it is imperative that Saturn is strong and direct when starting any new business venture. You will also want a strong Saturn when you begin anything you hope will elevate your reputation and level of authority. If you start a new business, or major enterprise that will affect your status, there’s likely to be a series of problems attached to it. Success will not be denied while Saturn is retrograde. However it will be quite frustrating to achieve. Whatever you begin will likely require extensive reorganization or a complete restructuring. The foundation of anything is not as solid when started under Saturn’s Retrograde — especially when it comes to business.

This doesn’t mean you can’t achieve any measure of success during the five month stretch of Saturn napping. In fact, as long as you stick to working on existing projects, they can become extremely polished and as a result, you’ll achieve the recognition you deserve. Still, it’ll be a good idea to refrain from launching any brand spanking new business pursuit now.

Calendar dates to circle

During this particular Saturn Retrograde cycle in the sign of Scorpio, there will be an emphasis on revising the structures you have built around your financial and intimate life. Do you have a deep seated fear of success or failure? Now is the time to identify any unhealthy pattern connected to achievement that might sabotage you. There will be a few helpful aspects and some extra challenging ones to cross over the next several months. Here’s a rundown on what is most important for you to navigate:

March 6 and March 28 are days when exceptional gains are possible if you review your existing commitments and reorganize accordingly. On these dates, Mercury will connect perfectly to Saturn allowing you to make a decision about a project and stick to it. On March 6 Mercury will be retrograde and it signals a definite pull to a past obligation or project that may now yield fruit. On March 28 you might put the plan from March 6 into motion.

On April 22 Venus in Taurus will oppose Saturn in Scorpio and this will be an opportunity to reconsider financial and romantic commitments. Are you taking more than you give or do you feel you give until it hurts when it comes to a relationship? Now is the time to honestly examine how the answer to this question makes you feel.

On April 28 the Sun in Taurus will oppose Saturn followed on April 30 by Mars opposing Saturn. With these aspects you may need to relocate your inner authority. If you feel as if a higher up is stepping on your toes or squelching your personal development, it’s time to work through it. That might mean cutting ties from someone who is only holding you back.

Mercury in Taurus will oppose Saturn on May 5 and it’ll be time to defend a decision to an authority figure in your life. Although you may feel insecure, stand your ground and trust that you’re fully capable of making the right choice. Make a commitment to only surround yourself with people who value your mind.

On June 7 Venus in Cancer will trine Saturn and what you’ve decided to see through during this Saturn retrograde phase will now begin to show its rewards. A romantic relationship might become more stable — especially if you’ve worked on building a solid future together.

When the Sun in Cancer and Saturn link up in a friendly way on June 26, your inner and outer authority will blend perfectly. What you see is what you get and everyone around you will respect what they see.

Finally, on July 1 Venus in Leo will square Saturn. A commitment or financial decision might reach a breaking point. A relationship you hold on to merely out of obligation might leave such a bad taste in your mouth. If the love and fun are gone, you know it’s time to move on.

Your Daily Cosmic Calendar for February 4th

Ceres — the largest asteroid — at 20 degrees of Gemini shifts from being retrograde to direct (12:50AM PST). All Ceres themes — productivity, agriculture and farming, gardening, Mother Nature, food, diet and nutrition, mother-daughter and parent-child ties, scarcity and famine, child neglect and abuse — are pronounced in importance throughout the day. While Ceres seems to hog the spotlight, an inspirational, 72-degree link from this asteroid to Pallas (2:14AM PST) and a glowing Moon-Venus parallel (4:49PM PST) can lift your spirits and amplify your skills as a savvy problem-solver. However, the Moon in Scorpio becomes void at 4:32AM PST and this limbo condition lasts until 7:46AM PST when the lunar orb enters fiery, enthusiastic Sagittarius. The monthly change of Moon signs — from Scorpio to Sagittarius — is usually the most intense and potentially disturbing of all the lunar zodiacal shifts. Therefore, be on your best behavior and handle sensitive relationships with kid gloves this morning. The Mars-Neptune union at 3 degrees of Pisces (12:57PM PST) and the Mercury-Saturn parallel (9:43PM PST) are the major events in the second half of the day. The Mars-Neptune rapport can increase your personal magnetism, idealism and charisma, but it also contains a shadow side related to irrational and fanatical expressions. Mercury-Saturn in parallel formation — similar to a conjunction in the zodiac — is great for people who work with logic and common sense, but it can also signify potential delays and stalemates. Get ready for emotional and romantic fireworks tomorrow as Venus, Mars and Juno go on the warpath.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Saturday, February 2nd

Our intense emotions rise and fall with the tides today, making it tricky to manage our feelings. We can feel the shift into the indefinite watery realms as the Moon enters passionate Scorpio at 7:01 am EST. Additionally, today is the first full day of Mars’ six-week visit to imaginative Pisces. Magic is afoot as the oceanic waters of Pisces are heated by Mars. We each have the choice to transform our negativity and become a spiritual warrior.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You’re better off keeping your most intense feelings to yourself now that your key planet Mars is traveling through your 12th House of Secrets. Instead of creating a lot of fanfare about a new project or interest, quietly finish up old business because it may take longer than you expect. But don’t be hard on yourself if your progress is slower than you wish. Setting a steady pace and sticking to it is more important than reaching your goal today.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

Success seems within your reach now that enriching Venus is visiting your 10th House of Public Life. Exciting opportunities encourage you to believe that fame and fortune are just around the next corner. But be careful if your current life circumstances are not aligned with your goals. Complications make you nervous, tempting you to take a risk to place yourself back on a path that leads toward your desired destination. Don’t push too hard for change; let things unfold organically to incur the least amount of stress.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

You may feel as if you need to re-evaluate your career objectives and readjust your priorities. The current transit of energetic Mars traveling through your 10th House of Profession motivates you to stretch beyond your comfort zone to make something positive happen at work. If you let this chance slip by without trying to better your position in the world, you could regret it. On the other hand, you might see encouraging results very soon if you get started right away.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

The next few weeks can give you the emotional boost you need. It’s not that you are overflowing with energy; the effects of assertive Mars in your 9th House of Big Ideas are more subtle than that. You’re comfortable enough with yourself now to hold on to any position that demonstrates your integrity. Don’t let anyone sidetrack you while you’re following your heart.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Although you may not be in denial, a situation close to home could seem better than it actually is today. You might want to gloss over criticism that you receive from a good friend or family member. But don’t be cavalier; you cannot afford to screw this up. Listen carefully and take any feedback now as constructive guidance rather than as a sign of defeat. A simple change in attitude can be enough to turn things around.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Concentrate on a project today that you recently let slip through the cracks. Remind yourself of your achievements as you re-establish new goals. But instead of trying to make big changes on your own, involve others in your process. There is not a moment to waste; it’s time to get in gear with or without the support of your friends. The good news is that you can accomplish nearly anything now if only you put your mind to it.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your creative phase continues for a few more weeks, even if the energy is already beginning to shift. You may feel pressure to make money from your artistic pursuits, but you’re not quite ready to cash in your chips yet. In the meantime, explore ways to take what you already started and make it last longer. Establishing new routines in your daily life can help, but avoid the dullest ones that take the joy out of life.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You are brimming over with energy now that your planetary ruler Mars is marching through your 5th House of Self-Expression. You are highly creative in your thinking, though this isn’t necessarily apparent to anyone else today. Concentrate on your internal world rather than external circumstances. Inspiration is returning to your imagination and you could begin to feel more emotionally in touch with your dreams. Make time to play; relaxing a bit may be the catalyst you need to feel even more revitalized.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Stress arises today from the judgments that others may make about your commitment to caring for those you love. Even if you act responsibly, your efforts might not be enough to satisfy everyone. Thankfully, somehow you can keep up with your busier-than-normal schedule and still have personal time for yourself. It’s just that you have some deep thinking to do that makes you want to escape. Before you sneak off on a one-way, late-night flight to the tropics, deal with the source of your discomfort first.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Spending extra time to fully prepare for the upcoming changes in your social life is a wise move now. Remember, no matter how ready you are, there still will be surprising obstacles to overcome. Unexpected twists and turns could surface in the coming weeks — as if reality is teaching you how to handle curve balls being thrown your way. Others will appreciate your efforts if you simply do the best you can at hitting it out of the park.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You’re relieved with the recent cosmic changing of the guard; pushy Mars has left your sign and is now heading for the open seas of softhearted Pisces. Meanwhile, friendly Venus is visiting social Aquarius for a three-week visit that brings a smile to your heart. Your problems won’t be solved overnight, but they may be much easier to handle now if you take a lighthearted approach. Open your heart to the love that is all around you.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your imagination is buzzing today, but you’re not content to just lose yourself in fantasies; you want to seize the day now that impulsive Mars is visiting your sign. Spend time exploring ways to turn your dreams into actions or you might end up feeling frustrated with your inability to communicate your amazing visions to others. Remember, developing your ideas is just the first step; you must execute your plan in order to be successful.

Your Weekend Lunar Love Horoscopes for Feb. 1 – 3

Weekend Love Horoscopes

February 1 – 3: Get a Little Closer

Jeff Jawer on the topics of love, horoscopes, astrology

The weekend starts sweetly with the Moon’s presence in lovely Libra on Friday. Putting others first and acting graciously flow easily in this sociable sign. Finding pleasure in pairs or in groups comes from an open-minded interest in people and a commitment to cooperation. Conflict may be avoided at all costs by taking the path of least resistance, which hides deeper needs behind a smile.

Emotions intensify on Saturday morning with a lunar shift into passionate Scorpio. The desire for closeness is so strong that it’s better to connect in an intimate setting than to be out in public or part of a crowd. The Moon’s conjunction with responsible Saturn shadows the night and wee hours of the following morning with a somber light. It’s an auspicious time to get down to the serious business of addressing complex relationship issues.

Although this task may not sound like fun, it’s a great opportunity to get so real with someone that you both know exactly where you stand. When this conversation is done with kindness, it’s a moment when a partnership can be strengthened and trust is earned. This exchange is more realistic than romantic at first, but when honesty and compassion meet it can create a bond that will take intimacy to a much more satisfying level.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for February 2nd

The Moon leaves void status in Libra by entering fixed and potent Scorpio (4:03AM PST). Research, investigations and in-depth studies receive the proverbial green light with the Moon in the eighth sign of the zodiac. Don your detective garb to solve personal mysteries and ferret out ancestral secrets. Giving you an extra dose of psychic sensitivity is a Moon-Neptune harmonious trine of 120-degrees (7:46AM PST). Pressing the anger button is a no-no around the time-period when Mercury forms a caustic, 45-degree tie with underworld-ruling Pluto (4:01PM PST). Healing forces are back on the march — courtesy of a Moon-Chiron trine in water signs (5:39PM PST). Learn more about The Great Pyramid, Stonehenge, and the building of ancient megaliths. Don’t be surprised if feelings of deja vu pop up without warning. Turn the tables on self-doubt or pessimism later on during the monthly Moon-Saturn union (11:46PM PST).
