Daily Cosmic Calendar for Friday, February 21

Mysteries, secrets, the odd and unusual are all seemingly up for grabs on this strange day in February. From the straightforward and easy-to-understand department, primary partnerships gain an early advantage — courtesy of Juno forming an inspirational, 72-degree rapport with Pluto (9:14AM) followed by a supportive, 60-degree sextile between the Moon in Scorpio and Venus in Capricorn (10:05AM). It is shortly thereafter that feathers begin being ruffled as the Moon parallels Saturn (11:08AM) and Venus (2:09PM) while the monthly Moon-Saturn conjunction happens just two minutes later (2:11PM). The lunar orb making a double-contact with Saturn indicates the need to slow down in business and professional matters.  Further caution is recommended because the Moon-Saturn union at 2:11PM begins a 12-hour void lunar twilight zone that lasts until 2:13AM on Saturday when the Moon enters fiery Sagittarius. Of course — as mentioned in this calendar over many decades — it is much better to be finishing old projects during a void-of-course Moon cycle than launching new ventures.  In addition, the Sun parallels Neptune (3:34PM) — a prelude to their zodiacal rendezvous coming up on Sunday. A Sun-Neptune parallel can be just as powerful as a conjunction — placing an emphasis on working imaginatively in the realms of film, photography, the graphic arts, music and dance. It is wise to be in synch with your spiritual studies. The shadow side of this celestial encounter can mean a temporary rise in confusion and chaos — especially on emotional levels.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Monday, Feb. 10th

The dark-of-the-moon phase happens every month just before the lunar orb reunites with its solar companion. There is usually a strong need to complete odds and ends that have been percolating for the last few weeks, but which require an extra oomph to reach the finish line.  From the realm of partnerships comes one solid boost as Venus — even though still retrograde until tomorrow — forms a supportive sextile of 60-degrees to Juno (2:18AM). Don’t allow mental fatigue to interfere with your skillful modes of problem-solving and strategic thinking as the Sun makes a 150-degree tie with Pallas (8:06AM). Be tuned into high-technology and the multi-media during a 60-degree connection from the Moon to Uranus (11:17AM).  The New Moon — energizing 11 degrees of Aquarius — arrives at 1:40PM. Think of this dynamic conjunction as a leaping off point for reaching important creative, business and professional goals. Mercury trine to productivity-enhancing Ceres (4:09PM) and Pallas making an inspirational, 72-degree link with task-oriented Saturn (10:17PM) should be feathers in your cap.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Friday, January 31

Keep enjoying the fun-and-games, ebullient atmosphere that the lunar orb in Sagittarius seems to usually encourage every month. In addition, key relationships can benefit from greater, in-depth understanding by partners since Juno forms a sextile with Pluto (3:53AM).  The Moon in Sagittarius begins a void limbo time-span — starting at 2:03PM and lasting until 9:05PM when the lunar orb enters hardworking, determined Capricorn. During the void limbo zone, strive to maintain your productivity in major fields of expertise as the Moon contacts Ceres via a supportive, 60-degree rapport (7:15PM). Insights abound shortly thereafter when Pallas in Virgo forms a polarity with Chiron in Pisces (7:56PM).  With the Moon still in void mode, Mercury makes a flowing trine in air signs with Vesta (8:35PM). This potentially auspicious alignment should be utilized once the Moon is in practical, resourceful Capricorn terrain (9:05PM). [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Standard Time.

Your Daily Cosmic Calendar for January 30th

Stay on course with supporting loved ones who may be under duress as Pallas opposes Juno (2:16AM). Any talent you have for resolving problems could be useful around this time-period and for several hours afterwards.  The two lights — the Sun and Moon — agree to provide supportive illumination for your key tasks and projects via their constructive sextile of 60-degrees (6:24AM). Bold ideas can inundate your consciousness since the Moon makes a 60-degree rapport with Uranus (10:59AM) followed by an energizing although possibly unsettling 45-degree tie between Mercury and Uranus (1:58PM). Eccentricity and outside-the-box thinking are in; following all rules to the letter of the law is out. The Moon continues in its adventurous romp through fiery, extroverted Sagittarius.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for January 9th

Keep a notebook by your bed to record dreams, visions and out-of-the-body excursions as the Moon makes a sextile of 60-degrees to Neptune (12:57AM). Feelings of deja vu and telepathic communications abound as the Moon and Chiron connect via 60-degrees (2:07PM).  The trend of high-level thinking and psychic advancement continues as Mercury makes an inspirational, 72-degree to Uranus (3:49PM). Mercury in association with its higher-guardian planet Uranus can open wide the gates of knowledge and wisdom.  The Moon is in earthy Taurus all day and a late-evening 60-degree connection by the lunar orb with Jupiter (10:49PM) are steering you toward golden opportunities — especially in the fine and graphic arts or along literary-educational lines.

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 Horoscopes for Tuesday, November 19th

A growing sense of optimism continues to be the major theme today as the flighty Gemini Moon helps us sever attachments to unproductive negative emotions. We’re still dealing with intense feelings, yet the weight of our worries seems to be lighter now as active Mars forms a supportive sextile with confident Jupiter, enabling us to channel energies that were previously blocked. Changing our attitudes can transform challenges into accomplishments.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You’re feeling your oats today and are ready to express your newfound confidence through direct action. Your key planet Mars is supported by the larger-than-life visions of Jupiter, encouraging you to put your very best foot forward. But don’t just fall into the more-is-better trap, especially when taking on a new project. It’s easier to start off small and expand later than it is to overextend and then have to cut back when you’ve gone too far.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

Normally, you can set a pace and sustain it until you reach your goal. But now you may be so caught up in the excitement of the present moment that you forget about your limits; you might even believe that you are invincible. Fortunately, your actions still could bring good fortune, even if you rush in today before considering the consequences. However, it’s tempting to be distracted by the next captivating idea or shiny object. Consciously focusing on a single destination is your best assurance that you’ll arrive on time.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

You might become involved in stressful relationship dynamics at work today even if you approach the situation with a sense of detachment. Although you can’t prevent other people’s feelings from impacting your life, you can choose where to put your attention. Thankfully, you’re able to distance yourself from someone else’s drama if you establish clear boundaries and stick to them. Ironically, you may be most helpful now by retreating enough to maintain your emotional balance so you lead by example instead.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

You have enough stamina today to finish whatever you start, so push yourself to accomplish as much as you can. However, your exuberance could pull you in too many directions, mostly as a result of your need for amusement. Remember, the more dedicated you are to your work, the sooner you’ll be able to freely apply your excess energy to fun activities. Seize this opportunity to strut your stuff and prove your strength.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Not everyone understands your methods today, but you still may receive the recognition you want anyhow. Meanwhile, you are content to play a role behind the scenes in support of a larger goal now, and naturally, this makes you a better team player. Whether at work or at home, be sure to include others in what you are doing to help your cause. Shining your spirit of generosity won’t lead you astray.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Approaching your career goals in a new way might make all the difference in the world. Perhaps you are growing tired of doing something with such regularity that it is beginning to get on your nerves. However, you could find the courage to try an alternate method today. Fortunately, if it doesn’t work, you can go back to the drawing board to create another plan. But if it does succeed, this little breakthrough brings you joy during the days ahead.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

An uncharacteristic longing for an exotic adventure can impact your daily routine today. Your imagination is more vivid than usual, making it necessary to keep your fantasies to yourself now. There’s nothing wrong with escaping into your dream world for a while, but sharing your inner process at work is quite challenging. Unless you want to complicate things at work, wait until you are safely at home before you let your guard down. Reveal your desires only to someone you trust.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

It feels as if you know what you need but someone close to you has become a fly in your ointment today, oblivious to your desires. Nevertheless, you’re optimistic about your potential; you know that success is yours if you maintain a positive attitude and continue to do the work. If you recently suffered from low self-esteem, it’s time to reconnect with a more positive view of you. Leave your doubts behind; set new goals and move boldly toward them.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

There’s not much that can bring you down today because your key planet Jupiter is receiving an energetic blast from red-hot Mars. Someone might think that you have gone over the top, but you probably believe there is still room for more. For everyone’s sake, don’t expect anyone to match your level of enthusiasm. Although you may be soaring high above the clouds, remember that other people are still on the ground.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Your behavior gives away your heart’s desires today, and there is little you can do to hide what you want. The good news is that satisfaction is within reach, but not if you just assume you should have whatever you wish because you deserve it. Feeling self-confident is a great start, but a positive attitude is not enough on its own; you must earn your rewards now through hard work. Thankfully, you’ll be smiling soon enough if you keep the distractions to a minimum.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Expressing your enthusiasm at work is normally a smart strategy, yet it might get you into major trouble now. Unfortunately, knowing you should keep your big ideas to yourself probably won’t be much of a deterrent. Luckily, you can minimize conflict if you simply stay aware of everything that’s happening around you. However, problems arise when you forget about using your common sense. Others are watching your every move; if they tell you that you’re overstepping your bounds, listen to them before it’s too late.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You have an enormous reserve of positive energy today, yet you might burn through it without even realizing what you’ve done. Thankfully, a little caution goes a long way and you can easily remember to conserve your resources now before it’s too late. Most everyone is willing to appreciate what you do, but you have such a complex agenda that you could get tripped up by your own desires. The clearer you are about your motives, the better the outcome.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for July 26th

Finish old business on a high note this morning. This is particularly emphasized with the Moon void in Pisces — the last sign of the zodiac — until 2:30PM PDT. In addition, confusion and chaos are potentially on the rise due to Venus forming its annual opposition with its higher-guardian planet Neptune (5:09AM PDT). What you believe to be true about a significant other may not be the case. Don’t jump to conclusions without the facts.  In the meantime, Venus moves on to making two aspects with ring-master Saturn — a seemingly supportive, 60-degree contact (11:37AM PDT) and a more caustic contra-parallel (1:52PM PDT). Even with favorable alignments — like the 60-degree sextile aspect — Saturn can rub you the wrong way and increase limits, frustrations or delays. Therefore, be more cautious and careful as the waning hours of the void lunar uncertainty zone come to pass.  Once the Moon enters fiery Aries (2:30PM PDT), the universe encourages you to be more assertive and to accentuate your leadership credentials across the board. This is emphasized several hours later when the Moon trines the Sun in fire signs (10:14PM PDT). However, Aries Moon can also equate with a build-up of stubborn attitudes and since tomorrow offers many disturbing sky patterns, you should strive to be on your best behavior as tonight morphs into Saturday morning.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Monday, Jan. 21st

Weaving stories to connect the apparently separate bits of data in our lives creates tapestries of information. The Moon’s shift into curious Gemini at 9:04 am EST pulls us out of our hearts and into our heads. We feel like we have all the answers as the Moon harmonizes with the conscious Sun, clever Mercury and confident Jupiter. Conceptual breakthroughs are likely as Mercury the Messenger forms a collaborative sextile with ingenious Uranus.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21– Apr 19)

Your mind is free to explore new ideas today, and your words are in the spotlight. Although you can jump to brilliant conclusions very quickly now, think before you speak and carefully read your email through one more time before you hit the send button. However, there’s no reason to hold back once you’re sure of your message. Since you have a greater impact on others than you realize, it’s wise to get it right the first time. Give your waiting audience a show they won’t forget.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20– May 20)

Your thoughts may run amok today, as if they’re not under the jurisdiction of your logic. But temporarily setting aside common sense can actually lead to an unconventional solution to a tricky problem. Unfortunately, your co-workers might not be willing to give your ideas a fair hearing unless you have the facts to back up your position. Do your homework and be sure to have your information in order before sharing your plans with anyone else.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21– Jun 20)

The Moon’s return to restless Gemini inspires your thoughts to fly around in circles, as if they are eagles spiraling on the thermals. Your performance seems easy and graceful to others, but you might need to work hard to keep up the appearance. Meanwhile, you could feel stuck as the prevailing winds won’t allow you to break free. Don’t waste energy struggling against the breezes now; enjoy floating around until the wind changes and gives you an opportunity to escape.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21– Jul 22)

Sharing your emotions can be a challenge now, even if you’re clear about how you feel. However, you sense a change coming and you aren’t yet sure as to which way your mood will swing next. Thankfully, this uncertainty isn’t upsetting or worrisome today as long as you are content to just wait it out before making any important decisions. In the meantime, discuss your options objectively and be open to the feedback you receive.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23– Aug 22)

Someone might come to you with an unusual plan today, but you aren’t so quick to endorse what you consider to be a risky solution to a simple problem. You can envision alternate strategies that seem more straightforward, and you would rather exhaust these direct approaches first. Even if you’re certain that your answer is the most logical one, remain open to the surprises you encounter along the way.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23– Sep 22)

Your friends need you today in ways that require you to express more emotions than you prefer. Even if you’re resistant to revealing your inner thoughts now, try softening enough to give others what they want. You may feel like you’re just going through the motions at first, but sharing your heart is a perfect prescription to brighten your day. You might receive something beautiful in exchange for stepping outside of your comfort zone.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23– Oct 22)

You could find yourself in a jam today, and you’re uncertain if you should ask for help or just let it ride. Imagine what you would do if you had absolutely nothing standing in your way. Then, return your focus back to your current situation. If sharing your needs can bring you any closer to your goals, then don’t hesitate to say what’s on your mind and just deal with the consequences as they arise.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23– Nov 21)

You may intellectualize complex emotions that normally elude description. But your intuition is operating in overdrive now, so don’t be afraid to rely on it. Nevertheless, you still have to prioritize your needs or you will be pulled in so many directions that you’ll just end up annoyed. However, having a clear destination in mind gives you just enough stability that you can be creative without losing your way.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22– Dec 21)

You can talk your way out of nearly anything today, relying on your social graces to avoid conflict. Your charm and wit are working for you now in ways that surprise even you. You know what you want and are willing to ask for it. Still, you could miss a significant opportunity when it appears in your life if you aren’t receptive. Being more sensitive to others helps you recognize your own path to happiness.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

It may be challenging to stay motivated today because you can discover so many fun ways to keep your mind occupied that you end up avoiding your chores. Leaving a job undone is contrary to your basic nature, since you like to take care of business before you play. However, it’s time to try something different now by making pleasurable distractions your top priority for a change. The work will patiently wait for your return.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20– Feb 18)

You could be very happy today, even if there’s too much happening in your life. For example, you might agree to one too many tasks and now you must find a way out of your extra commitments. Nevertheless, mischievous Mercury tempts you into thinking there’s a viable shortcut you can take. However, the flirty Gemini Moon’s presence in your 5th House of Fun and Games indicates that you should be able to enjoy the company of others even if you still have a job to finish

 

Pisces Horoscopes

(Feb 19– Mar 20)

Your thoughts are moving so rapidly now that you may not be able to keep up with your own fantasies as they overflow into your reality. But even the most original ideas don’t bring you any closer to a viable solution, so it might be wise to keep the unfinished schemes to yourself for now. Even if it takes another week or so, allow plenty of time for your plans to solidify before sharing them with anyone else. Start by writing everything down that crosses your mind, and then you can make sense of it all later.

Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday, December 26th

Although we might try to keep the energy light and easy, the breezy Gemini Moon is no match for the solid sextile between heavyweights Saturn and Pluto today. On one hand, we want to hold on to the holiday spirit in anticipation of the New Year; on the other hand, we’re sobered by real issues that seem to permeate our lives. Instead of being annoyed by the divergent cosmic messages, it’s wiser to practice moving back and forth between them.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may initiate action so quickly today that you don’t even process your feelings. By the time your emotions have worked their way up into awareness, you have already moved on to the next wonderful thing. Instead of jumping from one experience to another, take extra time now to tune in to your heart. Although the message you receive could be inconvenient, it might just inform you of something important that you need to know.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

You may be a bit detached from your actions today, especially if something you must do doesn’t feel right. However, there’s really no need to be afraid of expressing your desires, even if they differ from other people’s expectations. But don’t assume that you will get what you need just by asking. Avoid disappointment by visualizing a variety of outcomes and finding satisfaction with whatever happens.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

Something strange occurs today that may catch you completely off guard. The wordy Gemini Moon prompts casual conversation while you avoid what’s really on your mind. However, if your dreams are out of touch with reality, others will likely see through your facade. Unfortunately, you can’t pretend that you’re OK when everyone seems to know more about you than you know about yourself. Shift your focus inward and consider how you can modify your goals to make them more attainable.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

It’s relatively easy to bury your feelings, especially if they don’t fit in with everything else that’s going on in your life. Thankfully, you have an opportunity to bring these emotions out into the open, no matter how much you usually protect your heart. Have faith in yourself and trust that others will honor what you have to say. But keep in mind that you have to do your part by speaking the truth.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Your anger feels uncomfortable as it lurks just beneath the surface, waiting for something to trigger it. Your emotions are like a radio station that creates a broadcast signal, yet you can’t hear the song it’s playing. Nevertheless, you know that a significant message is being communicated and you believe the voices are talking directly to you. Don’t worry about the exact words, for they don’t really matter. Release any negativity and let your intuition take charge.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You are eager to consider what your friends need today, as if you can empathetically sense what they are feeling. However, the dilemma is that you might not want to tend to others, for you are on your own path — leaving little room to give anyone else what he or she wants. Think about the consequences of your actions before you refuse because there are more reasons to negotiate than you realize at this time.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Even with the current conflict between your head and your heart, you can still feel a deep sense of well-being that is most welcome in your life now. It really doesn’t matter what you should be doing today; self-indulgence might win out over your obligations in the end. So, why bother fighting the inevitable? Go ahead and make time to play since life is too short not to enjoy it.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Take some time away from your personal responsibilities to think about what you want and what you’re willing to do in order to get it. Fortunately, you’ll experience even more pleasure pursuing your goals now. But it’s tricky to see clearly when strong passions motivate your actions. Thankfully, the overall intensity in your life is settling back down. Wait a while longer and you’ll have a much clearer sense of how everything plays out in the long run.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your superhero powers are fully engaged this week as you attempt to express your needs. But it may be inappropriate to just put your feelings out there for all to see. It’s more important to find an acceptable way to get the energy moving. Don’t worry now if you can’t figure out what the future holds. Simply, let your highest ideals guide you through the process. Ultimately, honoring your integrity has the greatest positive impact on your happiness.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You’re mentally alert and crackling like a live electrical wire today. You could even try your hand at expressing yourself poetically now, yet your efforts might fall apart as soon as you attempt to be logical. Nevertheless, it’s still a wise idea to forget about the details for a while. Instead, be as creative as possible and fill in the rest of the story later on.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Unexpected changes continue to unfold as you attempt to integrate them into the basic structure of your life. Thankfully, you may be offered a second chance today to break out of a restrictive situation. Even if this opportunity stirs up stress, act right away and deal with the consequences later. But don’t try to sidestep the truth; being honest really is the best policy.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Make the most of your current energy buzz while it lasts; just don’t assume you can have whatever you want. Your physical needs may be intense now, and you might be tempted to do something that you later regret. Remember that the fleeting enjoyment you receive from short-term pleasures will fade, but visualizing your long-term goals could be enough to pull you through with flying colors.

Daily Horoscopes for Thursday, November 29th

Personal relationships could be a bit easier to manage today now that flirty Venus forms a supportive sextile to mighty Mars. There’s very little resistance to expressing what’s in our hearts when the cosmic lovers align harmoniously, and the Moon’s visit to talkative Gemini reminds us that the willingness to communicate can deepen a friendship. We must make certain that our desires are worth pursuing before we waste a lot of time and money.

 

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may be feeling your oats today since your key planet Mars receives a supportive nod from vivacious Venus, inspiring you to express your feelings to someone you like. Others will want to bask in the warmth of your good intentions. Don’t hold back; be direct and tell someone special what you want. If you can be patient you might just get what you need.

 

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

A weight is lifting from your shoulders today and you are eager to express your pleasure to those who will listen. Your key planet Venus is supported by physical Mars today, prompting you to step outside of your comfort zone. Venus is reminding you that your friends and family will be there for you if you need them. However, others may not be able to read your mind, so don’t be afraid to show your vulnerability by asking for help.

 

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

You are excited to get down to work today, only to discover that you first must redo a task you thought was already completed. Although your curiosity is receiving an energetic boost, you don’t need to take a giant leap forward yet. Don’t be in such a hurry; instead, take your time and attend to the details along the way. There’s satisfaction to be gained from a job well done.

 

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

You might not be ready to come right out and say what you mean now, but thankfully, your actions can speak louder than any spoken words. Don’t worry about explaining yourself today; just act with decisive clarity, even if you are feeling uncertain. Your current choices will be less important in the future as long as you do something positive in the present moment.

 

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Your confidence is strong, and you could inadvertently overwhelm others without even considering the consequences of your actions. You might think everything is copacetic, only to be confused by the unspoken resistance that you now face. Thankfully, managing your relationship dynamics is easy if you don’t promise too much. Turn down your volume today and listen carefully to what others need instead of only thinking about yourself.

 

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Although you may be dealing with serious issues, you can feel a calming influence now right in the midst of your personal turbulence. Sensual Venus in your hyperactive 3rd house is harmonizing with fiery Mars, and this delightful combination encourages you to act on your desires and move closer to your goals. Trust your instincts today and do what feels right.

 

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You’re anything but indecisive about your emotions now. You’re sure about what you want and will do whatever it takes to reach satisfaction. Today’s wonderful state of affairs comes from several supportive aspects to your key planet Venus. This grace period won’t last long, so it’s perfectly fine to derive pleasure from it while you can.

 

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

When sexy Venus is in your sign, you are even more inclined to delve into the shadows as you seek the magic that often is shrouded in darkness. Today you have a desire to go even deeper, as Venus dances with physical Mars. The only thing that can stand in your way now is you; buried treasure awaits your discovery so face your insecurities and start digging.

 

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You may feel as if you’re being pulled in opposite directions today as you slide into the unfamiliar realms of your emotions. You’re intuitively guided to leave the world of logic to discover a deeper meaning that words cannot reach. But simultaneously your fear of the unknown is stirred, tempting you to run back to the safety of your rational mind. Don’t succumb to the easy way out or you will miss an opportunity for a rich experience.

 

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Don’t play the role of a controlling boss today, even if you have the authority to do so. Your recent efforts have clearly made your case and now it’s time to let others integrate your guidance or go forward on their own accord. Either way, you must recognize the need to step back. Instead of trying to micromanage everything, take advantage of your free time to do something special for yourself.

 

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

It’s challenging to maintain a peaceful state of mind today, even if most things seem to be running smoothly. Your current problem may be exacerbated by close friends who could be exerting control over you. Your best strategy now is to talk about anything that is bothering you since bringing your fears into the open should help dissipate them, allowing you to relax and enjoy yourself more fully.

 

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Even if you are criticized by your peers today, accept their feedback with a smile. Chances are they are acting out of kindness rather than hostility. However, your sensitive nature could get in the way of an otherwise positive interaction, so try not to take things so personally. Changing your attitude helps you appreciate constructive criticism which in turn enables you to be more effective in the days ahead.

The Wicca Book of Days for Aug. 4 – August Augustus

The Wicca Book of Days for Aug. 4

August Augustus

 

When Rome was regulated by the calendar of Romulus, the month that we now know as August was called Sextile, and was the sixth month of the year(it became the eighth month under the calendar of Numa). Just as Quintilis was renamed Iulius or Julius, in honor of Julius Caesar, so Sextilis was eventually dropped in favor of Augustus, the individual so whom we refer whenever we say “August” today being the Emperor Augustus (63 BC – AD14), who ordered the change in around AD 8. The first emperor of Rome, Augustus (which means “imperial” in Latin) was born Gaius Octavianus

 

Th Emperor

Meditate on the major-arcana Tarot card of the Emperor (IV). This card, which depicts a dignified older man, crowned, enthroned, and holding his imperial regalia, signified masculine power and worldly authority, as well as absolute will and achievement.

Your Daily Horoscopes for August 2nd

It’s easier to ask for what we want today as the Sun in expressive Leo forms an anxious semisquare with romantic Venus. An optimistic Sun-Jupiter sextile further encourages us to take a risk for love. However, physical Mars aligns with dreamy Neptune, adding confusion to the mix. We may have confidence at first, but lose steam throughout the day. Fortunately, the intelligent Aquarius Moon gives us glimpses of clarity so we know how to proceed.
Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Quirky expressions of energy may be motivated by very straightforward desires today. But even if you know what you want, it’s difficult to put your feelings into words. Try not to judge yourself too harshly if you give up before you can make someone understand you. Knowing when to back off reduces the stress for everyone. Being patient helps your cause now; remember communicator Mercury ends its retrograde phase next week and things will begin to turn around.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You believe that life should be simple, but it’s not. Your current work situation may be causing tension, prompting you to worry about your financial circumstances. You can make it all work out, but the solutions won’t be what you expect. Take the initiative and talk about your dilemma, since clear communication must be a key component of your strategy today.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You excel as a communicator, but you have been holding back some of your thoughts recently. You may be getting bored with this self-restraint because you’re feeling charged up and ready for some fun. However, others might resist your plans if you push too hard or move too quickly. There’s no need to upset anyone with your sense of urgency. You will be more successful getting what you want if you continue to take your time and proceed with sensitivity.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

It seems as if you need to concentrate on taking care of yourself now, but you might not know how. Although someone may not be giving you what you want, there’s no reason to think you’ll remain unfulfilled. You could scare off others if you appear desperate, so acting in a self-sufficient manner is a smarter approach. When you take decisive action on your own behalf, those around will be more likely to respond supportively.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You feel more connected with your heart now, but a close friend or partner might think you’re self-absorbed. Unfortunately, you could become fixated on getting something that you want. You may not realize how much of a negative impact your neediness has on those around you. Thankfully, your personal relationships deepen when you trust your instincts without pushing others too far.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You may believe that you’re building your future on a solid foundation today, yet your plans are not as grounded in reality as they seem. The good news is that your confident yet unrealistic vision of what’s ahead could actually turn out to be what you get if you’re willing to follow through with hard work. Don’t let yourself get discouraged if you experience a setback; just pick yourself up and try again. Success comes to those who don’t give up.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

There’s relationship tension brewing today, but it’s hard to know what to do about it. Your key planet Venus is in whimsical Gemini now, putting you in touch with your inner butterfly. It’s easy for you to flit around an issue without fully engaging it. Although you may get fired up with energetic Mars in your sign, its alignment with nebulous Neptune later this evening lessens the stress all the way around. Be patient; you should be able to refocus your intentions tomorrow.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You may be seeking ways to express your individuality at home today with the Moon currently visiting your 4th House of Family. Although the Moon’s harmonious trines with hot Mars and cold Saturn prompt you to act in a more thoughtful and gracious manner, you’re not interested in living your life on stage now where you can be judged by others. Nevertheless, you’re capable of doing nearly anything as long as you know exactly what role you play in the larger picture.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

This is your kind of day, even if there is a difficult emotional issue that needs to be resolved. On one hand, you feel as if your future is opening up before your eyes, in spite of the current dilemma. On the other hand, there are so many choices that you’re uncertain of which way to go. Fortunately, you can take the pressure off the relationship tension by focusing on long-range goals instead of your more immediate concerns.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You finally have a clever way to handle an outstanding financial concern, but achieving real progress may be harder than you think. Fortunately, your logic is sound; trusting your analysis of the current situation is a wise idea. But instead of swinging into motion right away, let things continue to develop for a few days before taking action. Giving yourself a little more time can turn a brilliant plan into a strategy for success.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You might be distracted today by someone close to you as demands of a friend or co-worker prevent you from doing something that you really want to do. It may seem as if there is no immediate way out of this conflict, but beneath the surface tension is your firm belief that everything will somehow work out for the best. Thankfully, a positive outcome is likely, but allow a few extra days before you request to revisit the conversation.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

It feels as if everything is up in the air now, and there’s no quick release button to push that gives you an easy way out of the current tension. Your logic won’t lead to a solution but, paradoxically, your dreams might. Instead of seeking a concrete answer to your questions, allow your fantasies to take you along for a ride. Without the stress of having to find an immediate resolution, your imagination is free to show you exactly what you need to know at this time.
