Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday, February 5th

Life seems a bit tamer after the past few high-energy days, but we quickly relax into the new emotional terrain once the Moon enters laid-back Taurus at 4:46 am EST. We may even be more peaceful with pleasure stemming from simple activities like walking in nature, reading a book or just spending time with friends and family. However, talking about our feelings might lead nowhere as messenger Mercury grinds to a halt and turns retrograde tomorrow.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Although you wish your life was less complicated today, you might have more work to do before you can separate yourself from the noise you have created. Your path may seem clear now, but it still could take quite a bit of determination on your part to reach your destination. Be careful not to slip into denial and fall back into complacency. There are changes that need to be made, so don’t give up the good fight. Your passionate persistence is your secret weapon.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

No matter how much you might want to focus on your feelings, it’s challenging to stop your mind from spinning around in circles today. You are thinking about so many different things and the thoughts continue to fly by, just out of your grasp. Frustration arises if you attempt to make use of your fantastic ideas, but there’s no reason to be overly concerned about productivity for now. Instead, just sit back and enjoy the show.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

You don’t want to wait quietly on the sidelines and let something important happen without adding your two cents. In fact, you may be so sure of your convictions today that you are driven to speak your mind whether or not others want to hear your opinion. Keep in mind that you will be better off in the long run if you limit your comments to only the most critical issues. Your words will have more impact if you choose your battles wisely.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Your flexible attitude allows you to temporarily minimize an unresolved issue today. You can easily let go of emotions that were bothering you in return for a bit of spiritual refreshment and social enjoyment. However, you might not be ready to relinquish all your feelings, but at least set them aside for a while without judging anyone too harshly. Spending some quality time with your friends or family is more restorative if your heart is fully open to the experience.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You may be lost in contemplation today, as you Lions drift off into a rather complex dreamscape. However, ignoring the interpersonal dynamics at work is not a wise move since the current situation could be complicated by someone’s unexpressed feelings. As much as you want to escape into your inner world now, you must meet your professional obligations before slipping away to explore your imagination.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You might have already scheduled some fun for yourself today, only to discover that nothing is going to happen quite as you thought. You can still enjoy yourself, but it won’t be without a bit of confusion creeping into your life. Bring yourself back to your center and shrug off the minor inconveniences or you could inadvertently make things worse. Remember the best way to minimize stress and impress others is to keep your sense of humor intact.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You can get all wrapped up in mental gymnastics now, even though your stoicism may prevent you from talking about your worries with others. You feel like you should be more lighthearted today, but there are serious issues that just won’t go away until you deal with them. Even with singular focus, resolution probably won’t come quickly. In the meantime, do something creative with your irritation instead of spreading it to others.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Ironically, you are aware of life’s simplicity and its many complications at the very same time. With the evocative Moon moving through sensible Taurus today, your primary drive is toward experiencing pleasure. Yet, as a Scorpio, you always enjoy delving into a good mystery. Be careful if it appears that someone else can ameliorate your need for complexity, for this is just an illusion. Like it or not, your fate is completely in your own hands.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Returning to the basics isn’t what normally motivates you, but simplification just may be the most critical theme in your life now. You are at a significant intersection today, and taking the on-ramp to the busy freeway might not be your best choice. You could have a very positive influence on your environment, but you must step out of the fast lane and onto the road less traveled so you can create the type of connections you want.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Rethinking your core assumptions or reinventing your image offers the best chances for success today. Since this transformational process may continue for a while yet, it’s wise to review and reevaluate last year’s accomplishments while they are still fresh in your mind. Strive to put closure on as many loose ends as possible over the next few weeks to make plenty of room for your future exciting endeavors.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Inner conflict may stress you out as you begin to reconsider a logical decision you recently made. Unfortunately, your feelings might not fall in line with your rational analysis today as you expected. Thankfully, your dilemma isn’t all that obvious to anyone else; nevertheless, a special person could come to your rescue now. Remain open to receiving good news from a friend or family member, for it can provide just enough hope to settle your angst and nudge you in the right direction.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your current indecision gets in the way of finalizing your plans. Naturally, you want to do what is best, but your good intentions may go awry today, especially if your expectations are unrealistic. It’s difficult to say no to anything that sounds like fun, even if it isn’t very practical. Instead of needlessly complicating matters even more, rely on a second opinion from someone you trust before making any commitments now that you will later regret.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for February 5th

At 12:00AM — as this day begins — Juno merges with Chiron at 12 degrees of Pisces. Put an emphasis on healing and uplifting primary partnerships that need sustenance and support right now. This may be easier said than done as the Moon parallels Saturn (12:28AM) while Mercury piles on by squaring Saturn (3:57AM) and the Moon then also forms the monthly conjunction with Saturn (5:44AM). Pushing the business envelope in any form is taboo.  The Moon in Scorpio is in void mode starting at 5:56AM and lasting over 13 hours until 7:14PM when the lunar orb enters upbeat, goal-oriented Sagittarius. Anticipate some stormy psychic weather and stubborn human emotions blocking forward progress during the void-of-course lunar cycle.  Once Sagittarius Moon materializes at 7:14PM, focus your gaze on reaching long-sought goals — particularly on the literary, educational and publishing fronts.

Full Moon in Cancer Horoscopes

It’s safety first during 2014’s first Full Moon

Jeff Jawer   Jeff Jawer on the topics of horoscopes, full moon, cancer, astrology
 
 
 

The sensitive Cancer Moon opposing the pragmatic Capricorn Sun on January 15, 2014, is a dance between soft and hard. Inner needs dominate from the lunar side but external demands tell the solar half of the story. Both signs, though, share an interest in security. Finding ways to protect feelings while taking on the tough tasks of the world is the gift and challenge of this Full Moon. Stabilizing Saturn in Scorpio’s favorable connections with the Sun and Moon reward those who dig deeply to reveal untapped resources and unmet needs.

Aries (March 21 – April 19)

This Full Moon in subjective Cancer and your 4th House of Roots turns your attention inward. It helps you to recognize what you need to stay on the road to success. Emotional support is essential but getting it may require you to open up and expose your inner self. You usually try to avoid feeling vulnerable, but allowing this can lead to the kind of tenderness that supplies the drive required to reach your professional goals.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

Tender words and imaginative ideas flow freely with this sensitive Cancer Full Moon in your 3rd House of Communication. There is a risk of taking everything too personally, but if insecurities don’t get out of hand, greater intimacy and trust will follow. A more caring way of connecting helps to overcome differences of philosophies and long-range goals. Adapting to immediate circumstances reduces stress about the future.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

This security-conscious Cancer Full Moon lands in your 2nd House of Resources to shine a light on how you handle your assets. If a financial crisis flares up, slowing down your reaction to it will help you to make a wise decision. Stabilizing Saturn’s favorable aspects to this Sun-Moon opposition helps you to resist pressure from others with patience and maturity that earns you trust and, perhaps, more money as well.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

The Full Moon in your sign lights up your 1st House of Personality. Feelings come to the surface and your reactions to people grow stronger. Putting yourself first, though, is the message of this lunation. Reliable Saturn’s favorable angle to the Sun and Moon encourages self-trust and offers the confidence needed to pursue your desires with the focus, commitment, and persistent needed to get what you want.

Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22)

Imagination, intuition, and enlightenment are potential gifts of this Cancer Full Moon. It occurs in your 12th House of Spirituality where you benefit from having more private time. Communing with nature and engaging in prayer, meditation, or yoga are excellent ways to gain inner strength and support. Awakening to a higher sense of purpose can give new meaning to your life and clarify a big decision about work.

Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22)

This emotionally charged Cancer Full Moon lands in your 11th House of Groups where it can spur a crisis among colleagues or friends. While over-reacting isn’t recommended, it’s still healthier to express strong feelings than to keep them to yourself. You’re likely to find that others are having similar responses and that your honesty can be a motivating force that brings more passion and motivation to the team.

Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22)

Professional matters are likely to take priority with this Cancer Full Moon in your 10th House of Career. While gaining attention and getting additional duties are possible, it seems that you need to be emotionally invested in your job to appreciate it now. If challenges arise at work, avoid making a big scene about them. Instead, take a long, hard look at the path you’re on and think about changing course if you’re not happy.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21)

Visions of faraway places can make it difficult to feel settled and comfortable where you are. This emotionally charged Cancer Full Moon occurs in your 9th House of Travel. Restlessness is likely, which can be helpful if it motivates you to broaden your horizons. Connecting with people in distant locations and a sudden desire to advance your education are favorable potential outcomes of this soul stirring transit.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21)

Relationships could grow in intensity with this emotional Cancer Full Moon in your 8th House of Deep Sharing. Demanding partners — personal and professional — challenge you to meet their needs. Deciding which, if any, are worth responding to is part of this event is about. Another side of it, though, is for you to open up and expose your vulnerability. Doing so can earn trust and greater intimacy with others.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19)

The cuddly and self-protective Cancer Moon opposes the Sun in your pragmatic sign. This occurs in your 7th House of Partners where it tests your ability to respond to emotional people. Being tender with others is essential to maintaining productive alliances. Their strong feelings might upset your plans, but if you’re willing to show some flexibility, current connections are deepened and new ones likely to occur.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18)

Powerful feelings can have an effect on your work with this Cancer Full Moon in your 6th House of Employment. You could be feeling moody or insecure about your job, but the higher purpose of this lunation is to engage you more deeply in your daily tasks. You’re being pushed beyond your intellect to tap into emotions that don’t make immediate sense, but which might show you the way to happiness.

Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20)

This could be a delicious Cancer Full Moon because it falls in your 5th House of Play, Creativity and Romance. Opening your heart can, of course, lead to some emotional excess, but it’s smarter and safer than suppressing your feelings. Finding an outlet to express yourself through love, art, and imagination is not only exciting, but can build your confidence and make you a more powerful presenter of your ideas.

Your Daily Horoscopes for January 2nd

We may be annoyed that the holidays are over, but heading back to work today is not a valid reason to be angry. Nevertheless, the responsible Capricorn Sun forms a harsh square with warrior Mars today, increasing the potential for petty ego skirmishes. Our adrenaline based fight-or-flight response might get the best of us, even if we know what to do. Meanwhile, we grow more hopeful once the Moon shifts into futuristic Aquarius at 12:02 pm EST.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Obtaining what you want today may be elusive if your frustration escapes its container and spills over into your world. Unfortunately, it’s too late to enroll in a stress management class. If you are feeling isolated, don’t blame others. Striking out only pushes them further away. Go running or hit the gym, but whatever you do, make sure to sweat it out. If you discuss your feelings with someone you trust, be sure to approach the topic gently and treat your confidant with the utmost respect.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

You might want to take off the padded gloves today and express your dissatisfaction. But remember that if you lash out (even if it’s only with words) you will have to deal with the consequences sooner than later. Don’t create conflict unless you are sure that you want to fully engage with the rest of the process. It may be much more beneficial to wage peace in your personal life rather than war.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

Although you might feel emotional tension all around you today, you can be quite productive if you simply adapt to the changing dynamics. But if your need to share what’s on your mind prompts you to fight the wrong battles, you could end up exhausted and not any closer to your goals. However, engaging in physical activity or doing any type of hard work reduces the stress and increases your chances for success.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

This is no time to be harboring resentments because unexpressed emotions have a way of cycling back around and catching you off guard. You may like the idea of withdrawing socially for a while, though you still might engage in an intense interaction if you feel threatened. If stress triggers a confrontation today, be sensible and do whatever you can to keep the conversation civil. You don’t need to take the bait if someone is egging you on and looking for trouble. Hot tempers won’t lead to a cool solution.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

If you think your positive intentions are being blocked by someone today, remind yourself that the obstacles in your path aren’t necessarily only on the outside. Naturally, you can’t just snap your fingers and change the external circumstances. Nevertheless, you are fully capable of altering how you react to the situation. Instead of confronting anyone, take a few deep breaths and just get on with your own work. The less you push back now, the better.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Free-floating anxiety can be quite bothersome today, especially if you’re trying to overcome feelings of isolation. At first, it might seem as if the solution to your dilemma is to share your thoughts with another person. But he or she may not be as accessible as you wish. Consider participating in a team sport or putting in extra hours on a group project. Either way, don’t withdraw now; keeping your energy moving is the best way to lift your spirits.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

A business or romantic partner may act too impulsively today, but your feelings don’t diminish in intensity even if you disengage from the situation. In some ways, you’re more frustrated since a lasting solution seems a long way off. There’s no reason to worry about fixing what has already happened. Just don’t make things worse now by losing your temper. Remember, you can still let your emotions flow without drawing others into your drama.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You might try to hold back a flood of fiery passions today, but your feelings are likely to spill out into the open anyhow. Be aware that others may be overwhelmed by your emotional heat wave if you suddenly release your stored-up tensions. It’s time for you to do what Scorpios do best: transform the negative into positive energy. No matter what the question is now, the answer is love.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You have an overabundance of physical energy, but you might believe that there’s no easy way to express it today. However, keeping your feelings locked up inside doesn’t work, either. You may mistakenly assume that if others knew what you are really thinking that they wouldn’t like you as much. Unfortunately, the truth is that by keeping secrets now, you’re inadvertently building walls where you don’t really need them. Be courageous; dismantle borders instead of fortifying them.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Hopefully, no one will push you too hard today since you are likely to respond in a way that is quite disruptive. Your internal sense of your own power is growing. Like a capacitor in an electrical circuit, you might hold back now until enough of a charge is built that your release has the desired impact. Just be careful not to act too soon or your recent hard work will be for naught. Patience is your best weapon of self-defense.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You are learning powerful lessons these days about what not to say. If you just express everything, the end result may be opposite of what you actually want. But withholding your feelings isn’t in your best interest, either. Whatever you share now can affect others, so it’s best to speak only after you reconsider your motives. Remember, it’s not just about you today; act for the greatest good for all involved.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Although you may feel residual anger from a recent situation, you are entering a new phase when you experience a wider range of emotions. This means that, assuming you pay attention to what’s in your heart, you can be more proactive in a positive manner rather than feeling like you are just at the mercy of the changing currents. Although you might not have control over your initial reaction to the current circumstances, you can choose how to respond. Demonstrate your good intentions by taking the high road whenever possible.

Your Weekend Love Horoscopes for Nov. 29th to Dec. 1

Weekend Love Horoscopes

November 29 to December 1: Love Potion

Maria DeSimone  Maria DeSimone on the topics of love, horoscopes, astrology

With the Moon in sultry Scorpio you’ll crave emotional depths in love. With Scorpio there’s nothing superficial and certainly nothing halfway.  Either you’re “all-in” when it comes to an affair, or you’re just not interested. Fortunately, the Moon will make fantastic aspects all weekend, supporting the best of what Scorpio has to offer rather than activating his shadowy and sometimes controlling side.

First, on Saturday there will be a trine to Neptune and a sextile to Pluto. This will encourage you and your mate to explore your passionate fantasies in a way that makes both of you feel secure, rather than vulnerable. In addition, the Sun will be at a trine to Uranus on Saturday, offering a burst of sudden vitality and innovative energy to shine a light on whatever it is about your relationship that is most unique. Don’t worry about your love thinking you’re eccentric … this is actually how you’ll win him or her over.

Then, on Sunday, the Moon will make supportive links to Saturn, Jupiter, Venus, Mercury and Mars. WHEW — that’s half of the zodiac all rallying to boost Scorpio’s potential for intimacy and soul-binding erotic moments. This weekend, when it comes to love, the universe has your back.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Nov. 29th

Despite a fairly favorable 72-hour time-span — offering humanity a lot of opportunities for forward progress during Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday just past — the last 48 hours of this month seem more stormy than calm. The Moon in Libra square to Venus in Capricorn (3:15AM) equates with a rise in emotional turmoil, and this 90-degree face-off is given extra intensity as it starts a void lunar uncertainty zone that lasts until 8:04PM.  During this 16+ hour lunar limbo time-span, moody behavior may be more rampant than usual as Juno in Aquarius squares Saturn in Scorpio (5:25AM) while Mars forms a contra-parallel with Chiron (7:34AM). The Juno-Saturn clash is hard to sugar coat as it suggests a rise in temporary rude behavior — possibly affecting lovers as well as business associates and partners. The Mars-Chiron interaction is another forceful challenge that can heighten dis-empowerment — especially emotionally and mentally — in key relationships across the board.  One saving grace — happening several hours later — is an inspirational, 72-degree tie from the Sun to Mars (1:26PM). However, this lone, favorable aspect doesn’t have the gravitas to counteract the three discordant aspects already spreading discontent like a virus.  A type of panacea arrives tonight when the Moon ceases to be void as it enters intense Scorpio (8:04PM) for the next 2+ days. Watch your dreams overnight for clues about the future as the Moon trines Neptune in water signs at 12:40AM tomorrow. [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Standard Time.

Sagittarian Dreams – Bright possibilities emerge with the Sun in Sagittarius

Sagittarian Dreams

Bright possibilities emerge with the Sun in Sagittarius

Jeff Jawer   Jeff Jawer on the topics of sun, sagittarius, astrology

The Sun shifts from deep-feeling Scorpio to farseeing Sagittarius on November 21, marking a turn away from the reflective side of emotions and toward a dynamic expression of our aspirations.

Scorpio is a glass-half-empty zodiac sign that tends to combine concerns from the past and pressures of the present to interpret life as a struggle. Sagittarius, on the other hand, is able to ignore yesterday — and in some cases even the present — to project hope forward to a more desirable future.

The likelihood for fulfillment grows

Transforming Scorpio-style fears into Sagittarian dreams doesn’t happen automatically, though. Even if the shifting cosmic tides start flowing in an optimistic direction, we’re as likely to get lost in them as we are to find the happiness that we seek. Yet when we do Scorpio’s work of diving into our desires, assessing our resources and establishing priorities, the likelihood of achieving fulfillment grows.

This is not a process of denying doubts and fears, but one of examining them, determining which, if any, are useful, and letting go of those that have outlived their usefulness. Eliminating these negatives seems like it should be easy, yet we often are so identified with our wounds that we resist releasing them and turning our lives in a new direction. So much of who we think we are is enmeshed in a sense of limits where even the most consciously desirable freedoms are often resisted.

Do your dreams have a chance of coming true?

Refusing to look forward and dive into the future is only one way we hold back the tides of change. Another way to ensure our lives stay the same is to invest in dreams that have little likelihood of turning into reality. The potential to get lost in clouds of illusion is common with the Sun in Sagittarius, especially this week, when it squares nebulous Neptune on Sunday. This is an indirect and usually unconscious way to undermine progress, because the reward for failing to advance is getting to stay where we are.

A secret to bringing Sagittarian visions down from the clouds is to use the concentrated powers of Scorpio. The focus and determination of the latter cuts through the promises of the former, tapping into the essence of our aspirations. Scorpio is not about what we like; it’s about what we absolutely need. When a dream goes from being a vague hope to a detailed picture of desire, it finds the soil in which it can take root. The obstacles that stand in the way of achieving our goals are broken down by the intense commitment and drive that’s at the heart of Scorpio.

Look back with courage and forward with faith

When we think about the future, we usually don’t want to look back. Yet when we use the model of the zodiac sign preceding the one that we’re in, we will often determine whether we advance, stay stuck or regress. The promises of Sagittarius grow from the depths of Scorpio, and it will draw sustenance from the hunger or struggle it represents.

This reminds us that there’s little value in drawing a line between positive and negative, as they are essential parts of one another. The alchemy of achievement is created when both the faith to look forward and the courage to look back are a stirred together in the pot of possibility.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Thursday, November 21st

With a major portion of today occurring with the Sun in the last degree of Scorpio, it is a good time to reflect on your gains and losses of the past four weeks. Have you excelled at exploring the depths of your consciousness in order to eliminate old fears and doubts that may be blocking the flow of your creative artistry? Are you more adept at tuning into your spiritual willpower and mental concentration to be an entrepreneur with clout and finesse?  Steer clear of questionable investment offers as Vesta makes an off-kilter, 150-degree tie with often hazy Neptune (7:43AM). The Moon in Cancer continues a primary focus on healing old family wounds and pains.  A big change happens at 7:49PM when the Sun leaves watery Scorpio for fiery Sagittarius. Don’t be too surprised if you feel a sense of relief that some of the recent tensions may be in the process of dissolving away. A happy-go-lucky disposition is the right frame of mind to have during the monthly lunar conjunction with providential Jupiter (8:00PM).  Avoid overdoing a good thing a couple of hours later when the Sun makes a frictional, 45-degree tie with Venus (10:17PM). Keep a low profile overnight and avoid the social scene as the Moon begins a void uncertainty zone at 11:12PM that lasts until 3:58PM tomorrow.

Learn all about the personality of the “Cusp of Revolution”

Tarotcom Staff    Tarotcom Staff on the topics of scorpio, sagittarius, cusp, astrology

If you were born on the Scorpio-Sagittarius cusp, from about November 19 to November 24, you were born on the “Cusp of Revolution,” and you are full of strength and rebellious energy.

Individuals born on between the signs of Scorpio and Sagittarius are ruled by the planets Pluto, Mars and Jupiter, and are a dynamic mix of Scorpio intensity and bold Sagittarius action. The result is a fearless individual quite capable of running wild!

If they can learn to channel all that energy toward something productive, these cuspers are likely to be successful at most endeavors because they’re not afraid to charge ahead, speak their minds freely and pursue their passions.

“Scorsagiuns” who learn to balance their complex personalities are well liked, and appreciated for their good humor and open minds.

Learn more about the revolutionary Scorpio-Sagittarius cusp:

Name of Cusp: The Cusp of Revolution

Date Range: November 19 to November 24

Strengths: Energetic, adventurous, powerful, accomplished, generous, passionate, humorous.

Weaknesses: Secretive, selfish, rebellious, wild, aggressive, blunt, misunderstood.

How Scorpio-Sagittarius energy works together: Scorpio’s is Water and Sagittarius is Fire, an opposing mix that creates complex personalities who are often misunderstood. If they can learn to balance their aggressive qualities with more adaptable traits, they will be powerful, generous and friendly folks to have around.

What they love: Freedom. Don’t try to box in a freedom-loving Scorpio-Sagittarius cusper! Their intense passion and need for action cannot and will not surrender to being controlled!

Full Moon in Taurus Horoscopes

Work hard to create a little comfort for yourself and others

Jeff Jawer   Jeff Jawer on the topics of taurus, horoscopes, full moon, astrology

Finding peace during intense times is a gift of the Full Moon in Taurus on November 17, 2013. This placid lunar placement contrasts with the opposing Sun in extreme Scorpio. Notice what works in your life that doesn’t demand much effort and where comfort and ease can balance out the struggle to stay afloat. Slowing down to smell the roses will remind you of the sweet things and your desirable traits that are often forgotten during difficult circumstances.

 

Aries (March 21 – April 19)

Simplifying financial matters can put you on a more solid foundation with this alluring Taurus Full Moon in your 2nd House of Self-Worth. Patience pays big dividends so take your time gathering materials and getting the training needed to raise your economic status. Back away from personal or professional connections with people who are impossible to satisfy and focus on making your happiness a priority.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

This Full Moon in your easygoing sign lands in your 1st House of Personality where it can inspire you to update your appearance. But it’s less about making changes than becoming more comfortable with yourself. Self-acceptance is a key to being attractive to others. It isn’t about being self-indulgence or settling for less; it’s about recognizing your personal resources and doing your best to get the most out of them.

That’s because the more comfortable and accepting you are of yourself the more desirable you will be to other people.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21)

This grounded Taurus Full Moon lands in your 6th House of Work and Daily Routines. If you’re bored with what you do, this lunation can push you over the edge and help your realize that it’s time for a change. But if you’re happy with your job, it signals the need to settle down and be more patient. It’s a reminder that going slower and being calmer will get you further than overdoing or pushing too hard.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for November 17th

Rise to the occasion as the monthly enlightening Full Moon — energizing 26 degrees of Scorpio and Taurus — clocks in at 7:17AM. Individual and group meditations are encouraged. Send out your healing thoughts and prayers to loved ones, friends, associates, humanity and the kingdoms of nature. Reflect more on your higher destiny in this lifetime and how you can be an ambassador of goodwill instead of fulfilling personal desires.  You may have quite a few hours to continue in a contemplative mode since the exact time of the Full Moon (7:17AM) begins a void lunar twilight zone that lasts until 4:08PM. Let go of any stubborn behavior patterns that are holding you back from making breakthroughs in higher consciousness. Find time for lunch at a favorite cafe and visit a museum, art gallery or national landmark for a change of pace.  Once the Moon switches gears from earthy Taurus to airy Gemini (4:08PM), focus your attention on reading, writing and research. Start preparing for Chiron’s station in Pisces on Tuesday as it leaves retrograde motion to turn direct. [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Standard Time. Be sure to adjust all times according to your own local time so the alignments noted above will be exact for your location.]

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Sunday, November 10th

The cosmos is certainly on the wacky end of the astro-psychic spectrum during this unusual weekend. Trying to make your agenda the law of the land is likely to fall on deaf ears. Pursuing unrealistic objectives when the Moon is void — following a 90-degree clash of the Sun and Moon at their First Quarter Phase last night — is also a non-starter and likely to boomerang were it ever to get going in the first place.  On the other hand, enjoying a time-period for reflection and having a leisurely breakfast while putting old worries out of your mind can make a lot of good sense. No matter whether you are feeling elated or confused, watch the clock around 1:15PM when Mercury leaves retrograde status at 3 degrees of Scorpio, and begins a gradual shift into forward motion. [Mercury won’t go into reverse again until February 6, 2014 when the Messenger of the Gods planet will go retrograde at 4 degrees of Pisces in a three-week reversal that lasts until February 28, 2014 when Mercury will stop to go forward at 19 degrees of Aquarius.]  All of today’s Mercury themes — communications and correspondence, learning programs and information exchange, classes and primary school education, business and trade, health and medicine, transportation, hand-eye coordination, flexibility and adaptability, breathing and respiratory conditions, temperature and air-wind changes, magic tricks, sleights of hand and thefts — are energized not only at the exact time of the station at 1:15PM, but all day long.  Once the Moon leaves void status in Aquarius by entering Pisces (6:37PM), be more compassionate and empathic to the truly needy and disenfranchised. Try your hand at fixing one of grandma’s old-world recipes for clam or corn chowder and muffins. Reading, writing and watching favorite film classics are promoted later on when the Moon trines Mercury in water signs (10:59PM) and the lunar orb makes its monthly union with Neptune (11:06PM). Keep a notebook of profound dreams, visions and out-of-the-body excursions with Neptune — the ancient God of the Seas and ruler of psychic-imaginative abilities — running the show as Sunday night morphs into Monday morning. [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Standard Time. Be sure to adjust all times according to your own local time so the alignments noted above will be exact for your location.]

Your Daily Horoscopes for November 6th

We may worry that our most sincere efforts won’t be recognized today. Or, perhaps, new responsibilities are limiting our freedom of movement as the radiant Sun is cooled by its conjunction with restrictive Saturn. Our good intentions can run into walls of resistance because this awkward planetary combo fosters self-doubt. However, we’re willing to work diligently to get what we want once the Moon shifts into ambitious Capricorn at 4:43 pm EST.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Your natural inclination is to race through a task so you can hurry on to the next one. But today you can appreciate the benefits of slowing down and sticking with a job all the way through to completion. Accept any delays as a part of the process and stay focused on the project at hand, even if you wish you were doing something else. Your persistence will be rewarded sooner than you think.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

If you’re not willing to take responsibility for your behavior today, someone else could do it for you — but at a price. If others do come down heavily on you now, your first impulse may be to blame them for complicating your life. Even if they just want to help, it’s difficult to respond positively to their criticism. Nevertheless, you still might not be able to avoid the fact that you need to change your ways. Your willingness to learn a necessary lesson alleviates the pressure and improves the dynamics.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

Although you have obligations that demand your attention today, it’s not necessary (or even wise) to forego all pleasure. In fact, making a bit of time for structured play — like going outside for recess when you were a child at school — might be exactly what you need to be more productive. But don’t just take off when you feel like it; instead, create a schedule and stick to it for the best results. Balancing work and play is key.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

It’s relatively easy to keep your thoughts to yourself today. Even if you have a very definite opinion, it may be nearly impossible to talk casually about your current plans. If you end up sharing what’s on your mind with someone else, you still might feel misunderstood. There’s no reason to question your own point of view just because others don’t understand your perspective. Trust your common sense; it won’t steer you wrong now.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You might find yourself drifting down Memory Lane today, thinking about how a previous failure could negatively impact your current life. Your nostalgia can remind you of how you fall short of your own lofty expectations, turning a minor setback into a more serious one. Thankfully, you are not a slave to your past. Rather than letting old fears limit your choices, move beyond your personal history and do something brilliant. There is no one to stop you but yourself.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Don’t be satisfied with maintaining a comfortable distance between you and an acquaintance today. Bringing up a sensitive topic can transform a casual friendship into something more meaningful. Today’s Sun-Saturn conjunction occurs in your 3rd House of Communication, making this an ideal time to tackle a difficult issue. Remember, following frivolous desires only distracts you with trivial information, so pick a subject that is practical enough to improve your relationship in a positive and lasting manner.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Sometimes you find it challenging to make a final decision because you naturally see the pros and cons to each and every possibility. However, you can narrow your field of vision today, enabling you to focus your intentions on whatever you decide is most important. Concentrate your energy on accomplishing a task that makes you feel good about your work. If you start to think about something you did wrong in the past, consciously switch your attention to what you can do right in the present.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Reality may have an obstacle or two to place in your way now, as the Sun joins Saturn in your magnetic sign. Consider the extraordinary pressures you have encountered since Saturn entered Scorpio last year to determine what lessons you can learn from this hard-nosed planet. Awareness is crucial; fortunately, understanding your role in what’s currently happening empowers you to push through to the other side and plant the seed to create something significant.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You could exhaust yourself as you vacillate between overly optimistic thinking and an accurate analysis of the facts — especially if you can’t tell which is which. You might overcompensate by acting as if you know more than you actually do. Instead of pretending you have all the answers, just ask for help. Usually, you are the one cheering others on, but now it’s your turn to lean on someone else for a change.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You are more realistic than ever as you make plans for your future because the Sun is forming its annual conjunction with your key planet Saturn. However, as the energy crystallizes in your 11th House of Long-Term Goals, Saturn can also bend your thoughts toward negative thinking. Don’t give up; fortunately, your critical analysis enables you to make improvements to a current project if you’re willing to act on your conclusions with a positive attitude.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

If you experience trouble at work today, don’t simply assume that you did something wrong. Instead, look at the resistance you face as a lesson from the universe. Even if your original attempt was not met with much enthusiasm, you have an opportunity now to improve on what you did and then try again. Don’t give up on your goal; instead, work even harder to prove that you deserve it.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Setting a goal can mean serious business today, because you won’t be able to easily change your mind once you make a decision. Whether you are considering a new residence, job or school, it’s crucial to take your time and think through all your options before choosing what to do next. But merely knowing that you’re capable isn’t enough. You must resolutely overcome your own inertia and take action, however small it may seem.

Daily Horoscopes for Monday, November 4th

We are still being challenged to keep our spirits high with four planets visiting the hidden realms of Scorpio. We are continuing to process our feelings about the big chances that have begun to unfold in our personal lives. Yesterday’s Scorpio Solar Eclipse may have been a wake-up call that requires us to delve into things that we don’t fully understand. However, optimism returns once the Moon flies into inspirational Sagittarius at 3:14 pm EST.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You have entered a mysterious passageway that leads to unfamiliar territory, a place where reason doesn’t always give you the practical answers you seek. However, it’s time to push forward with your agenda anyway, even if you don’t yet fully understand the deeper meaning of current events. Operating on faith works for a while as long as you take the time to integrate your emotions with your thoughts. Exploring the unknown reaps rich rewards.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

You may have to work closely with others today, even if you prefer to be on your own. You can’t simply withdraw because it seems as if everyone wants you involved with what they are doing. Even if relationships aren’t easy now, they have a lot to teach you. Express your feelings and then stick with the process. If the dynamics become uncomfortable, just remember the situation is temporary and the energy will shift soon enough. Lead with your heart and the rest will follow.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

Someone may bring good news today, yet there’s more to it than first meets the eye. A discussion with the messenger can grow more complex if you have the courage to delve into a serious conversation. It’s tempting to avoid an intense interaction, but you’re better off knowing what’s happening beneath the surface before you become more involved. Narrowing your focus offers more benefits than just accepting whatever comes your way. Your power of discrimination can save the day.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Memories flood your mind and put you in touch with previously forgotten feelings that can rush back into your awareness today. It may be challenging to concentrate on meeting your current responsibilities since old desires are reawakening and you can’t get them out of your head. Don’t worry if your chores slip a bit; take advantage of the potential opportunity for personal growth while the positive energy is present. Remembering your past helps you envision the future.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You may be at the top of your game now, eager to say yes to anything that sounds like fun. Nevertheless, you hesitate to jump in because you don’t want to waste your energy on something that’s unimportant in the long run. There’s no need to hide behind a song and dance today; express your concerns kindly without worrying about the reactions of others. Weigh your options and make your best choice.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Spending time at home sounds like a good idea, but you may have to go in to work anyway. In fact, you might have many things to do now that require you to head out into the world. Keep in mind that your words can make all the difference between success and failure, so don’t complain about your professional obligations or social commitments. Instead, be as positive as possible when talking about your plans today and then try to manifest what’s most important to you throughout the day.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Big ideas about your goals could set you up for frustration today when things don’t end up quite as perfect as you imagined. Nevertheless, you may still accomplish a lot and your current productivity helps to improve your self-esteem. Don’t waste time comparing yourself to some unobtainable ideal. Instead of thinking about what you didn’t do, focus on what you can make happen in the present moment.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You may be very confident about your financial situation now that the Moon is visiting your 2nd House of Money. Luckily, the Sun in your sign blesses you with vitality, enabling you to take on more projects than ever. But this high level of intensity can also bring anger to the surface, so find ways to burn off your unexpressed feelings or you might attract needless conflicts about things that ultimately don’t matter.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You may feel very energetic now that the Moon returns to your sign for a couple of days. But you might also sense an incoming wave of uncertainty as signals from your subconscious mind overflow into your awareness. You could attempt to ignore these premonitions, but they are too distracting and convincing today. Even if you don’t know where these currents are taking you, it’s futile to fight against them. Save your energy for the specific issues that could arise instead of simply shadowboxing with your own fears.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Your suppressed negativity could leak to the surface today, yet you may not understand why until you realize that there are serious questions that still need answers. It’s not that you are overly pessimistic, but you can’t help but notice problems that others easily overlook. Remember, you can be very successful, even if a few details are left hanging, so let go of your concerns and allow your confidence to build.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You’re quite likely to succeed now, partly because you’re unwilling to take no for an answer. You can hold firm to a goal, even if you encounter severe resistance along the way. Other people may be surprised by your tenacity these days, but don’t let their reactions sway you from your objectives. Fix your attention onto your destination and push steadily in that direction no matter what.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You are using a wide-angle lens to perceive reality today and your scope of understanding is still growing because of all the planetary energy buzzing around your 9th House of Big Ideas. Others will naturally come to you for advice because you can see farther into the distance. Be careful; there may be two possible paths and as soon as you favor one, you’ll encounter resistance from those who are leaning the other way. Stay in the middle as long as possible and avoid making a choice until the last possible moment.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Monday, November 4th

There’s no real need to be racing out of the starting gate this morning with the Moon void in Scorpio until 12:15PM. Of course, if you are awake around 1:17AM, you can take advantage of a surprising boost on the compatibility front as Juno in Aquarius makes a supportive, 60-degree link to Uranus in Aries. Interest in fashion and style is rising, but last night’s abrasive, 45-degree between Venus and Saturn can still keep deep romantic urges on temporary hold.  Once the Moon breaks out of the fixed, power zone of hard-driving Scorpio and into the mutable, upbeat terrain of Sagittarius (12:15PM), it is a more welcome monthly time-period for fun, games, sports, and striving to hit the bull’s-eye of long-range goals. The lunar change from Scorpio to Sagittarius each month is often the most emotionally dramatic of any lunar metamorphosis. Thus, breathe several sighs of relief and get going with ventures that make you enthusiastic and content.  Working on your behalf is a supportive, 60-degree connection from the Moon to Ceres (1:10PM). Make helpful dietary and nutritional changes that can strengthen your immune system. Nurture maternal figures and children in your circle of friends and relatives.  Let the good times roll tonight as a party atmosphere develops. Enjoy card, board or word games. Restore faith in yourself and the future. [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Standard Time.

The Daily Cosmic Calnedar for November 3

If you are having a difficult time seeing the start of November as positive, join the club. Friday’s fireworks, followed by Saturday’s lunar transit into Scorpio along with the heightening potency of the dark of the moon cycle, can leave many souls bewildered. However, several celestial alignments attempt a rescue mission as the Sun makes a physically and emotionally vitalizing, 60-degree tie with the red planet Mars (1:49AM PDT) — the last main aspect happening with daylight time in effect.  Once standard time is restored (in most locations across America and world-wide), today’s rescue mission continues as the Moon in Scorpio trines Chiron in Pisces (1:26AM PST and arriving with a boost for healing interests) while practical efforts lead to progress on the business front — courtesy of a Mercury-Saturn parallel (3:16AM and similar to a union in the zodiac).  The big event — the New Moon at 12 degrees of Scorpio (4:51AM) — is also a hybrid Total-Annular Solar Eclipse at 4:48AM. The area of the world influenced is primarily the Eastern zones of North and South America, the Atlantic Ocean, Southern Europe, the Middle East and Africa. One fortunate facet to any New Moon is that it tends to propel humanity forward rather than backward as it represents the seed-point for the coming solar-lunar dance in the zodiac over the next 29.5-days — until the next New Moon (in Sagittarius) takes hold on December 2. Therefore, utilize the hours after the New Moon/Total-Annular Solar Eclipse to take several giant steps forward in your main fields of expertise.  Productivity — especially in the arts — can rise as the largest asteroid Ceres enters affable, airy Libra (6:16AM) — a cycle that lasts until February 3. Be a keen logician and careful analyst when it comes to focusing on important business plans as the Moon makes its monthly union with Saturn (9:19AM).  A 15+ hour void lunar cycle starts during a mind-expanding Moon-Jupiter trine in water signs (8:24PM). This lunar twilight zone lasts until 12:15PM tomorrow when the Moon enters fiery Sagittarius. The big chill can enter affairs of the heart — on a temporary basis overnight — as Venus forms a frictional, 45-degree tie with Saturn (11:32PM). [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Standard Time — starting at 2AM on the West Coast of the USA and Canada. Be sure to adjust all times according to your own local time so the alignments noted above will be exact for your location.]

November’s Monthly Horoscope Forecast

November’s Monthly Forecast

By Rick Levine and  Jeft Jawer

November 2013 Horoscope

Open yourself to change

The rumblings of change grow stronger this month as revolutionary Uranus and transformational Pluto form the fourth of seven world-shaking squares on November 1. It’s a reminder that standing still is not the best option for individuals and institutions. Yet it’s smart not to make a radical move without carefully considering the consequences.

The Sun’s presence in Scorpio until November 21 should be helpful, because this transit brings us deeper within ourselves where we recognize unmet desires and untapped resources that motivate action. Responsible Saturn is also in Scorpio, signaling the importance of giving up some uninspiring comfort to aim for more fulfilling life experiences.

Questioning your values and expectations is not meant to undermine self-confidence, but to ensure a profound recognition of needs so that you will do what’s necessary to satisfy them. If you have any doubts about where to invest your energy, you may get an answer on November 1 as retrograde Mercury, the communication planet, joins the Sun. This is a time of reassessment of your purpose and goals, showing you where to make adjustments if recent plans have gone awry.

Brace for the Solar Eclipse

November 3 could be the most important day of the month. It’s a New Moon Solar Eclipse in Scorpio that can inspire focus and efficiency. The first step is to let go of ideas and attitudes that are stuck in the past. An eclipse in intense Scorpio suggests that it’s better to risk burning a few bridges than to remain so anchored to people and projects that you cannot move.

There are some very productive influences at this time that are bound to reward individuals who narrow their focus and maintain disciple and persistence in pursuit of their goals. Reinforcements come when pleasure-loving Venus enters responsible Capricorn on November 5 and the Sun joins serious Saturn on November 6. These could be interpreted as stern, sad or restraining, yet both indicate that earning respect and eschewing immediate rewards for bigger long-term gains are recommended.

Amorous Venus in dutiful Capricorn is also about working harder in relationships by raising goals and standards to a higher level. However, we still may be muddling through unclear communications and minor snafus until Mercury turns direct on November 10. This forward turn occurs with the messenger planet forming favorable trines with imaginative and compassionate Neptune, which is excellent for delicate conversations, creativity and forgiveness.

Jupiter inspires faith

Hopes and dreams continue to expand even while the Sun is still in somewhat skeptical Scorpio. A solar trine to optimistic Jupiter on November 12 broadens vision and inspires faith in the future. Spiritual Neptune’s forward shift on November 13 supports a more uplifting and creative view of the future. Relationships could be a little rocky on November 14-15, though, when Venus slams into tense aspects with disruptive Uranus and Pluto. Flexibility is needed to adapt to changes of moods and interests to maintain reason and calm under dramatic circumstances.

Fortunately, the earthy Taurus Full Moon on November 17 aims to calm emotions and put feet back on solid ground. Ideally, this is a chance to find a new balance between pleasure and practicality.

Sagittarius promises adventure

The Sun’s move into fiery Sagittarius on November 21 spurs an interest in adventure that encourages us to take risks. Pushing past old personal and professional limits that were constrained by doubts and fears opens hearts and minds to wider horizons.

Enthusiastic Sagittarius paints pictures of a more exciting future that is energized by enthusiasm and hope. The need to throw off the shackles of boring routines and low expectations could spark some risky behavior, but it’s better to take some chances than to stand still. Even if we fall short of our expectations, we’re stretching muscles of personal growth that are bound to enrich our lives.

While the Sun’s square to nebulous Neptune on November 24 may temporarily cloud good judgment, discerning Mercury’s conjunction with responsible Saturn restores reason and intellectual order the following day.
