Calendar of the Sun for January 21st

Calendar of the Sun

Carista – Day of Peace in the Family

Color: Lavender
Element: Water
Altar: Upon a lavender cloth set a tray of cakes shaped like clasping hands, and many cups full of hot tea.
Offerings: Promise to attempt to be more considerate of those you live with.
Daily Meal: Any food, but it must be served from one great plate for every table, and it should not be in separate portions.

Carista Invocation

May there be Peace in this house.
(Response: “May there be peace in this house!”)
Peace can be a hard mistress.
The daily round of the ordinary,
The simple turn of day and night and day
The presence of the same souls
Can come to be like a shadow on the sun,
And yet Peace still demands
That we find a way to move past
That ordinariness
And all the thousand thorns and briars
And bring Peace into the house.
(Response: “May there be peace in this house!”)
Take the hand of your sister, your brother,
The one who shares your roof, your table,
The ground you walk on,
Whose feet know the boards as well as your own,
And swear to find a way
To bring peace into the space between you.
(Response: “May there be peace in this house!”)

Chant:
My brother, my heart, my sister, my soul;
My family, my life, come in from the cold;
My sister, my heart, my brother, my soul;
My family, my life, that makes this life whole.

(Instead of a ritual, this period of time should be used to mediate and address problems between members of the community, with emphasis on peacemaking and compromise and useful solutions. At the end of the meeting, all share cakes and tea.)

The Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, January 15th

The truth is difficult to discern today because our fantasies are encouraged now that the diffusive Pisces Moon dissolves the hard edges between fact and fiction. Reality is altered by our imagination, prompting us to see what we believe. Even if we have regular work scheduled, this is also a fantastic time for artistic, poetic and musical creations. Nevertheless, it’s lovely to dream as long as we don’t totally forget about our responsibilities.

 

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

A stroke of genius is right up your alley today and you love it when you’re able to figure out totally new solutions to problems that have you and your associates stuck. But just because you suddenly see the light, don’t assume you can make everyone else see things from your point of view. Patience is not your strongest suit, but it’s still a sensible practice for now.

 

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

You may get so lost in your own dreams today that you can’t find your way around in the real world. Nevertheless, you have very important tasks to complete and if you don’t meet these obligations now, life will quickly grow more complicated. Get your chores out of the way as fast as possible, and don’t forget to let others know that you need some time alone. After you are accountable for your actions, you can return to exploring your wild imagination with guilt-free abandon.

 

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

You’re not nearly as scattered as others think because you have a plan in place, even if no one knows about it yet. Actually, you may have several options that you’re juggling now, but this complexity is not beyond your natural capability. You can perform with the best of them, but remember that your goal isn’t keeping lots of balls in the air; instead, it’s about being happy. Fortunately, walking away from the distractions might be easier than you realize if you simply make a commitment to do it.

 

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Favorable opportunities arise from the most unusual places now, but this doesn’t make them any less reliable. Emotional interactions with friends or a romantic partner could lead to a conceptual breakthrough in how you reach your goals. Remain open to new possibilities, since your path is about to widen if you just let it happen without worrying so much about the outcome.

 

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Emotions that have you tied in knots may be suddenly released today, as if a magician planned your escape in advance. You could be breathing a sigh of relief from being set free, but you can’t avoid the long-term issues you still face. Instead of running away, accept your current circumstances graciously as you work with determination to transform your life.

 

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

A shady character may let you down today by not following through on promises made, but don’t waste your energy getting too upset about it. You might not have as much control over the actions of others as you prefer and you’ll only make yourself unhappy if you allow your emotions to get the best of you. Manage your time effectively and concentrate on improving your own work instead of trying to change anyone else.

 

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You may be unsure why your day is overtaken by tasks that don’t help you move any closer to your goals. You might be feeling less than ambitious now, so it’s advantageous to just do whatever is expected of you. Even if you have lots of transformational ideas, applying them at work could take more effort than you’re willing to invest. Entertaining fantasies about the future is enough to bring you satisfaction today.

 

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

An unexpected emotional encounter can shock your nervous system today and wake you up from a deep sleep. You may be in a bit of denial about where your life is heading and now you can begin to see things more clearly. Don’t make the big changes yet; just playfully consider each possibility as it floats into your awareness.

 

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

If you are stressed out about making a financial decision, don’t just take the easy way out today. There is more going on now than meets the eye; you’ll be better off if you let the current situation take its course for a while longer, giving you additional time to discern what’s best. Rest assured that your thoughts will grow clearer in the days ahead. Once your confidence returns, you will feel empowered to make the right choice.

 

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may have to let go of control over your schedule today. One thing after another comes up and you might have to accept that you cannot handle so much chaos at once. Don’t judge yourself too harshly while responding to the demands of the day. Do the best you can and let some of the loose ends stay unraveled until tomorrow when you have sufficient time to handle them all.

 

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Responsibilities at work may conflict with your personal goals, but try not to let that concern you too much at this time. You might not have as much clarity as you want now, so avoid making a decision based upon inaccurate facts or incomplete data. Use this time to explore all of your options, without eliminating any of them. Most of all, be patient with yourself; you’ll figure out what you want within a few days.

 

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You are living in two distinct worlds today. On one hand, you’re quite comfortable floating around in the dreamy fuzziness of your own imagination. On the other hand, you are uncovering more factual information than you know how to manage. Find ways to integrate your feelings with your rational thoughts. When they magically merge, it’s time to swing into heroic action.

Calendar of the Sun for January 15th

Calendar of the Sun

15 Wolfmonath

Hestia’s Day

Color: Red
Element: Fire
Altar: Today’s ritual should be done in the kitchen and not the altar room. The hearth and the stove are the altar today, and a flame should be burning, and bread and milk and salt set out on the table. No other altar is required. After the ritual, all shall feast.
Offerings: Do kitchen work, or preserving of food, or cleaning.
Daily Meal: Any wholesome, extremely correct food.

Hestia Invocation

Flame of the Hearth
Keeper of the Inner Circle
Faceless One
Eldest of the Olympians
Lady of the Pantry
Whose open hands dispense hospitality
Chimney and cooking fire
Lady of routine and dailiness
To miss your quiet strength
In the rush of our sudden lives
Would be as great a disservice
As forgetting the air we breathe.
You who are the comforting hearth where we began
And the inner warmth that we will come home to,
Make this place a home for all of us.
Make this hearth a home of the every day,
The ordinary morning and noon,
The expected evening and the consoling night.
Teach us to take our time, Lady.
Teach us of the holiness of step after step
Chore after chore, moving in small circles
Around the hearth of our own beings.

Chant:
Circle round the hearthfire
Join our hands as one
Remember the Virgin Flame burns
Ageless as the Wheel turns
The place for which the heart yearns
Since this tribe has begun.

Daily Horoscopes for Monday, January 14th

We may grow weary of the high-strung mental energy that has us feeling on edge. Communicator Mercury forms disquieting aspects with judgmental Jupiter, stern Saturn and reckless Uranus, turning simple discussions into complicated battles for intellectual dominance. Fortunately, the Moon shifts into compassionate Pisces at 5:49 am EST to soften an otherwise anxious planetary landscape. Meanwhile, a Venus-Jupiter quincunx tempts us to overindulge.

 

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You might not be willing to trust your feelings today, since you can’t follow your thoughts to their logical conclusion. You are all for telling the truth, but there’s so much on your mind now that every nuance cannot be communicated. Hidden realities widen your perspective and teach you a lot about the real world. The more open you are to the realms of fantasy, the more you can imagine new vistas ahead.

 

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

You may be quite relaxed today for a back-to-work Monday since you have already given yourself permission to chill out with your friends. Although responsibilities still require your attention today, make time to restore your energy. Don’t be overly concerned if you leave a job unfinished for a while; treating yourself to a bit of pleasure now shifts your attitude in a positive direction.

 

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

Although you might not be eager to meet your obligations today, others may be relying on you more than you realize. Temporarily putting aside your long-term dreams enables you to interact fully in the present moment, but could also contribute to your angst now. No matter how uncertain you are about your future, your heartfelt efforts to communicate with your friends are greatly appreciated and will lift your spirits, too.

 

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

You may start the day feeling like an unhappy Crab that has been taken from its watery cave. However, as waves of familiar emotions wash through your life today, you’re reminded of how important it is to stay in touch with those you love. Don’t worry if you can’t explain your newly found confidence to anyone else; just continue about your business without trying to rationalize your behavior. Nevertheless, connecting with others is what matters most.

 

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Your current dissatisfaction with a relationship may increase today, for you might realize what you are missing. But the real problem goes even deeper than what someone else has to offer; it’s about your need for total engagement. Focus on what you can give to others instead of simply thinking about what you’re not receiving in return. Everyone wins if no one is keeping score.

 

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Someone who puts you in closer touch with your feelings may enter your life today, even if you don’t know what to do about your reaction. Until now, you were in a very analytical frame of mind, leaving little room for the confusion of irrational emotions. However, you might need to accept that logic won’t always bring you the satisfaction you seek. Your stress will dissipate if you can get out of your head and into your heart.

 

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You’re unsure of how to go about accomplishing your goals today, but don’t make excuses or procrastinate any longer. Instead of trying to create a plan, rely on your intuition to tell you what to do next. Although you may feel uncomfortable with this strategy, it just might produce the best results. However, don’t overreact; taking an extreme position won’t help you reach your destination any sooner.

 

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You may create more stress by trying to resolve the conflict between your current desires and a more logical approach to your needs. Thankfully, the tension should begin to settle down today without any specific action on your part. There are subtle shifts in the present circumstances now that can give you a glimpse of the smoother sailing ahead. But don’t needlessly rock the boat; just stay on course until the discord dissipates.

 

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your lack of commitment might present a problem for a family member or your partner today. It’s not that you’re avoiding an uncomfortable issue; it’s just that your priorities are different from everyone else’s and not based on their expectations. If you don’t want to be pinned down now, let others know how you’re feeling as soon as possible. A difficult situation can simply be avoided if you speak up right away.

 

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You’re trying to do the responsible thing today, but one distraction after another may prevent you from fulfilling your current obligations. Ultimately, it’s less about what others think than it is about your own self-judgment. Be easy on yourself now, for there will be time later to return to unfinished business or to reconsider where to go from here

 

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Instead of rushing into a new task, stop long enough to clarify your goals, assess your resources and make sure that traveling a different path is truly worth the effort. Even if you decide to build on what you have already started, don’t move ahead too fast. Fortunately, it will be much easier to succeed if you take the time to develop your strategy first.

 

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Although you might not feel fully prepared for what’s around the next corner, the Moon’s return to your sign indicates the beginning of a new emotional cycle. If you have left chores unfinished, unexpected events may force you to do what you should have already done. However, if your old business is completed, then opportunities may open up for you now. Just be sure that you honor your dreams when starting something new.

Your Love Horoscopes for the Week of January 14th

Romantic Venus’ conjunction with mysterious Pluto could reveal relationship secrets on Wednesday. Taking a closer look at this new information can uncover unmet desires and underused assets. These unexpected insights might motivate personal change and increase our capacity for emotional fulfillment. Making tough choices mid-week clears the air and opens the way to a socially satisfying weekend.

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Your emotions could heat up from Wednesday through Friday when the evocative Moon occupies your fiery sign. Impatience can either put you in a delicate situation or impel you to make impulsive moves in your personal life. Risky behavior might shake up a partnership but that’s probably better than stifling your desire for change. Exercising a tiny bit of self-control, though, helps to maintain trust even when you are rocking the boat.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Persistence and inner strength can turn a relationship problem into an opportunity for greater intimacy this week. Your amorous ruling planet Venus plows into potent Pluto on Wednesday, shaking your world when secrets are exposed. But an unsettling truth may be just what you need to re-establish your priorities. Knowing exactly what you want and what you don’t want is your ticket to a more fulfilling weekend ahead.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

If you’ve been bogged down with practical matters lately, relief is on the way. This weekend your chatty ruling planet Mercury and the expressive Sun move into innovative Aquarius to brighten up your personal life. Traveling to new locations and connecting with people from other cultures provide mental stimulation that attracts your interest. Just don’t over-analyze every little thing and allow your busy brain to push your emotions out of the picture.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Unanticipated obligations can get in the way of personal matters on Wednesday. Quickly adapting to changing conditions is necessary to reduce stress. But connecting with easygoing friends puts your feet back on solid ground this weekend. Spending time with social organizations and reliable pals  plugs you into groups of pleasure-seeking people where you can relax without the weight of excessive responsibility or unrealistic expectations.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Less work and more play are on the schedule for this weekend. The Sun enters friendly Aquarius and your 7th House of Partners on Saturday to take relationships to another level. Connecting with a quirky person, showing an unusual aspect of your personality or experimenting with your current squeeze are ways to get your heart beating faster. Being playfully spontaneous instead of setting rigid rules makes the game much more interesting.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Passion comes early this week when alluring Venus joins intense Pluto in your 5th House of Romance on Wednesday. There’s no ambivalence about your feelings because you’re playing for keeps now. Anyone who is unwilling to love you without limits could be cut out of your heart. Even though it’s not usually easy to let someone go, eliminating an individual who can’t fulfill your dreams makes room for a person who can.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Memories from your relationship past could arouse powerful feelings this week when vulnerable Venus meets passionate Pluto in your 4th House of Roots. Desires grow more intense as you crave a deeper union or recognize how you’re being stifled by the one you’re in. It’s tempting to run from any uncomfortable revelations, yet shutting off your heart and mind leaves you out in the cold while bravely facing your needs makes you a more powerful magnet for love.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

The sensual Taurus Moon invites easygoing connections when she visits your 7th House of Partners on Friday night. Don’t complicate things with too many questions because simplicity is your key to opening a treasure chest of pleasure this weekend. Indulging the senses at slow speeds is especially appealing. Sweet smells, gentle sounds, tender touches and tasty foods supply physical satisfaction that makes any relationship a delight.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Unexpected encounters could pop up around any corner this weekend when mischievous Mercury and the radiant Sun enter friendly Aquarius and your neighborly 3rd House. You might meet someone while running an errand or have a great time with your partner when you are taking care of some routine tasks. The enthusiastic side of your personality will definitely attract some positive attention and make it very easy to get a conversation going.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You could make a critical relationship decision this week. The love planet Venus joins transformational Pluto in your sign on Wednesday. This is like drawing a line in the sand with a current partner if you’re dissatisfied with the situation. If you’re single, it can provide a depth of feeling and desire to motivate you to make some serious personal changes. If you’re hungry for affection and approval, you’re willing to do whatever it takes to gain it now.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

This is a great week to close a chapter in your personal life so that you are free to start a new one. Cleaning out your emotional closets on Wednesday could be a messy affair. But unloading an individual, attitude or expectation that’s not working will take a lot of baggage off your shoulders. Thought-provoking Mercury and the life-giving Sun fire into your sociable sign this weekend to promote self-confidence and initiate a fresh start in matters of the heart.

 

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your involvement in a group or with a friend may reach a critical point this week. If you’re not getting what you want for your effort, you might consider reducing your commitment. Some peace and quiet will be especially appealing starting on Saturday when the Sun slinks into your reclusive 12th House. Less social visibility is recommended, so enjoying private time with one special person or hanging out alone might be just what the doctor ordered.

Calendar of the Sun for January 14th

Calendar of the Sun

Bruma

Colors: White and brown
Element: Earth
Altar: Upon a bare table lay a large pot shaped like a human figure, reclining, filled with earth. All should enter bearing two white cloths, one on each arm.
Offerings: Silence and meditation.
Daily Meal: Vegetarian

Bruma Invocation

Earth, you lie sleeping in silence,
And we can do nothing but wait.
We have breathed upon your first seeds,
We have sung your first green shoots
Up from the bare brown soil,
We have watered you with tears and sweat
And fed you with the remains of our meals,
We have cut down your bounty and saved it,
Yet this is not the time for seeds, or green,
But simply the long cold wait in the dark
Until the light waxes and the time comes again.
You are silent, and will not speak to us,
No matter how we cry out.
You are dormant, and will not sing to us,
No matter how we raise our voices,
For all things come in their own time,
And this is not the time for movement.
So we will sit with you, Earth,
We will watch over you as you sleep
And take part in your dreams
In silence, and wait for your awakening.

Chant:
Earth dreaming
Silent seeming
Winter’s vigil
We will wait for you.

(After the chant has been sung five times, all come forth to the altar. Each lays one white cloth gently over the pot, saying, “Blessed be the Earth in the time of winter.” Then each sits on the floor and places the other white cloth over their heads, and meditates on all that is sleeping and cannot be awoken. Silence in the House until Akte.)

[Pagan Book of Hours]

Your Daily Horoscopes for Sunday, January 13th

We may feel exhilarated today as we look toward the future and share our ideas with a wider range of people. Although the socially conscious Aquarius Moon draws us into a group, we tend to shy away from more intimate, one-on-one contacts. The Moon connects us to a matrix of feelings, yet we are currently more comfortable with emotional detachment. Aquarius is an intellectual Air sign that favors the good of everyone over individual satisfaction.

 

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may feel the electricity of the high-frequency Aquarius Moon that insists you move into the future. But you’re also listening to the beat of a not-so-distant drummer with a more traditional rhythm. Oddly enough, you might attempt to hold on to the past now, preventing you from freely running ahead. Thankfully, your stress dissipates if you share your dilemma with someone you trust; talking about your mixed feelings helps bring clarity to the situation.

 

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

Interactions with others may lure you into uncomfortable places today, yet you don’t want anyone to know what’s going on behind your stoic appearance. You have good reason to maintain the status quo, even if you’re currently receiving information that tempts you to make immediate changes. Acting in a restrained manner is your most sensible strategy now. Acknowledging your emotional reactions is healthy, but you don’t need to share everything you feel.

 

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

This isn’t an easy time because the planets continue to hold your feet to the fire and your words to the law. Although you might prefer a more lighthearted approach to life, you are being constrained in ways that may make you doubt your methods. Thankfully, the freethinking Aquarius Moon offers relief today, but the deepest issues won’t be blown away by a fresh breeze. If you stop and face the music, it won’t be nearly as difficult to handle as you think.

 

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Intimate communications with significant others are emphasized today. You may think that you have to be very precise in what you say because people are hanging on your every word. However, your message isn’t as important now as how you deliver it. You can do your part by simply sharing what is most real for you. Just don’t try to package all your emotions into a pretty box. Showing up with an open heart is your best gift.

 

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

An encounter with a close friend or family member can leave you confused, especially if others are relying on feelings more than intellect. It’s challenging because you might not have the words you need at your disposal today. Part of the problem comes from the inadequacy of language, making it tough to translate your ideas into coherent speech. Watch for non-verbal signals that tell you how you’re being received. Being subtle in your approach now may be more effective than making grand gestures.

 

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

This is the start of a productive cycle of communication for you. Your thoughts are lighter and more speculative now. Fortunately, you’re given time to think about integrating more creativity into your daily routine. Begin now by making time to write in your journal — and then do it on a regular basis. You may be happily surprised by where this cathartic process leads you.

 

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your memories could drift back to your childhood today as you seek the original source of your current feelings. You may be certain that your emotional habits were formed at an earlier time in your life and now you want to dig up the root cause. Go ahead and begin this important research, but don’t expect fast and easy answers to your questions. Be thorough in your analysis yet allow the process to reveal the truth in good time.

 

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Although you are being required to be more actively engaged in various forms of communication, you’re not inclined to simply fill the empty spaces with noise. You want serious interactions that have purpose and meaning. Without the reality factor fully involved, you might try to check out before the conversation is over. However, don’t judge too quickly; give things time to develop depth on their own.

 

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

This is an odd day energetically because on one hand you’re growing excited about the future. You might even feel that your dreams are on the verge of becoming real. On the other hand, the clouds of illusion fall away as fast as you can create the lovely dreamscapes. Ultimately, you want to see things as they are now, not as you would like them to be. Keeping one foot on the ground helps you make the best of both worlds

 

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Your biggest dilemma now is how to stay positive while you are exploring deep in the well of pragmatic thought. But endless analysis doesn’t lead you anywhere productive; it just takes you around in circles. One strategy is to keep your calendar peppered with fun activities with friends because they will make sure you don’t slip into a state of terminal seriousness. Cautious optimism creates the best chances for progress

 

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You’re probably quite moody now that the evocative Moon is back in your sign. However, this monthly lunar visit isn’t just about your rapidly changing feelings; it’s about making contact with your soul’s purpose. Explore your imagination as four planets settle into your 12th House of Spirituality. Don’t be afraid to let go and fall into your own dreams. You’ll wake up stronger and happier if you take this metaphysical journey with an adventurous attitude.

 

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Although your energy is just beginning to settle back down, your imagination is still stirring up exciting new recipes for life. What is usually just a touch of escapism or an idle fantasy can now take you on a very real ride. In fact, it may be difficult for you to separate the fruits of your labors from the fruit loops of your irrational fears and longings. Rely on your most sensible friends to give you the reality check that you need.

Your Weekend Love Horoscopes for January 11 – 13: Pushing Limits

Weekend Love Horoscopes

January 11 – 13: Pushing Limits

Jeff Jawer  Jeff Jawer on the topics of love, horoscopes, astrology

Making a plan and having a strong dose of self-discipline are keys to getting the weekend off to a good start. On Friday, the Sun and Moon join together in orderly Capricorn, where respect and competence are sexy.

This New Moon is great for taking on challenges, as long as you’re well prepared for them. Engaging in difficult activities can test a current alliance by making you learn to work together. And singles willing to push themselves to the limit are likely to earn attention, respect and even affection for their efforts. It’s important, though, to keep overly competitive behavior from getting in the way of intimacy.

A more cooperative and playful attitude is particularly desirable on Saturday, with a lunar shift into friendly Aquarius. Love planet Venus is restless with her square to rebellious Uranus that night. This electrifying aspect invites sudden attractions and rapid changes of moods that work best with an easygoing manner and experimental attitude.

Drop preconceived plans and rigid expectations to enjoy surprising connections and unexpected sources of joy. Resisting breaks in the schedule or changes to routine patterns with a partner takes the spice out of what promises to be an exceptionally stimulating night and a mellow laid-back Sunday to follow.

Once the Moon leaves void status in Capricorn by entering the universal air sign of Aquarius (1:02AM PST), the cosmos appears to be clicking on all cylinders. An inspirational, 72-degree tie from the Sun to Saturn (1:23AM PST) puts you in the mood to learn from wise elders and mentors.  Group projects, team sports, community events and global causes close to your philosophy of life are in the hopper with the Moon in the eleventh sign of the zodiac, and forming a supportive, 60-degree tie with radical-change agent Uranus (9:10AM PST) and far-sighted Jupiter (12:12PM PST). Antique and collectible hunters can have a field day under these auspicious circumstances.  It doesn’t hurt that the Sun makes another inspirational, 72-degree liaison — this time to Uranus (5:11PM PST). Breakthroughs in higher consciousness are likely, and advanced studies in science, metaphysics and kindred subjects are promoted.  The main monkey wrench of the day becomes precise at 8:14PM PST when Venus in Capricorn squares off with Uranus in Aries. Many hours before and several hours after, you may still be contending with this potential turmoil in affairs of the heart. The Venus-Uranus 90-degree aspect can also equate with rising tensions on the business, social and creative artistic fronts. Use kid gloves in handling delicate matters at home or with relatives on the skids.
