Daily Cosmic Calendar for January 5th

If you made it through yesterday’s torrent of sky patterns, give yourself a few rows of gold stars for diligence and skill on the higher astrological path. You have your work cut out for you again early since Mercury in Capricorn makes an off-kilter, 150-degree tie with Jupiter in Gemini (12:10AM PST). Mercury-Jupiter challenging aspects can have deleterious effects on communications, travel plans, and educational endeavors. Be extra attentive when reviewing papers, agreements and legal contracts. Antique hunters and collectible aficionados do receive a celestial favor as the Moon trines Ceres in air signs (9:37AM PST). Money-making ventures carry an aura of success in the couple of hours preceding the Moon making a supportive, 60-degree liaison with Venus (3:14PM PST). The few hours before-hand can also signify a great time-period for artistic expression across the board. However, the 3:14PM PST time also starts a void lunar twilight zone that lasts nearly 7 hours until 10:10PM PST. Keep a fairly low profile during the void time-span by finishing up odds and ends with common sense and efficiency. Once the Moon enters Scorpio (10:10PM PST), try your Sherlock Holmes or Agatha Christie disguise on for size. Study your ancestral tree, solve family problems, and ferret out old secrets during the next two days. Keep a notebook of nocturnal soul wanderings and visions of the great beyond overnight as the Sun makes a dynamic and yet frictional, 45-degree link with dreamy Neptune (forming exactly at 1:20AM PST tomorrow morning).

Burning of the Evergreen

Color: Dark green and red
Elements: Fire and Earth

Offerings: Messages to the Gods, of hope and faith and rebirth.
Daily Meal: Vegetarian. Warm food.

Song: Evergreen

Invocation to the Evergreen Spirit

Evergreen Man of the Winter,
Spirit of the Eternal Forest,
You have blessed our home,
Now bless our hearth.
You have danced in our halls,
Now dance for our warmth.
You have sung out your life,
Now sing in your death.
You have lifted up your boughs in stillness,
Now lift them one your final motion.
You have kindled our hopes,
Now kindle our flame.
Evergreen Man of the Winter,
Spirit of the Eternal Forest,
May we learn, like you,
To let no cold devour us,
Until we perish joyfully
In the flame of the heart.

(All take armloads of the evergreen boughs and bring them to the kitchen hearth, where a fire is started from the single red candle. Each places a bough onto the hearth, saying, “Forgive our fire, faithful tree; warm us now as we have warmed thee.” The remainder of the boughs are stored in the kitchen for future kindling, and this mantra is said whenever they are laid to make fire. Today, all chant as the fire burns, until the evergreen twigs are burned away.)

Chant:
Fire flow, fire flow through me,
Bonfire, brush fire, lightning strike,
Fire flow, fire flow through me,
Fire burn, give me light.

Your Daily Cosmic Calendar for January 4th

Every so often, the universe tries to throw the kitchen sink in your direction by filling up the 24 hours of time with a wide variety of solar, lunar and planetary aspects. When so many sky patterns are vying for attention and supremacy, expect to go through several mood shifts and mental ups and downs. In the early going, focus your attention on a loved one’s needs as Mercury unites with Juno in Capricorn (2:09AM PST). A tremendous wave of creativity and enthusiasm arrives a couple of hours later as Mars trines Jupiter in air signs (4:47AM PST), Venus makes an inspirational, 72-degree rapport with wounded-healer Chiron (5:00AM PST), and Mercury makes a supportive, 60-degree tie with Chiron (5:55AM PST). Not to be outdone, the Moon in Libra puts together a Grand Triangle in air signs by forming trines to Jupiter in Gemini (6:36AM PST) as well as Mars in Aquarius (6:44AM PST). Literary, educational and athletic pursuits look promising. However, pressing your luck later on may not be a good idea since Venus makes a frictional, 45-degree tie with Saturn (5:30PM PST), Mars makes an abrasive, 135-degree contact with Ceres (5:45PM PST) and the Last Quarter Sun-Moon Phase (activating 15 degrees of Capricorn and Libra at 7:59PM PST) arrives with another dose of frustration or rising discord. A good-luck charm can come in the form of a supportive, 60-degree rapport from Juno in Capricorn to Chiron in Pisces (7:48PM PST). This uplifting aspect helps to neutralize some of the tensions affecting key relationships this evening.

Daily Horoscopes for Thursday, January 3rd

We want to be responsible now, but it may be difficult to settle down and follow through on our commitments as mental Mercury tensely squares erratic Uranus. Although we are restless, help comes from three planets in stable Capricorn and the Moon in patient Virgo. Meanwhile, an optimistic Sun-Jupiter alignment tempts us to follow our bliss. The Moon’s shift into accommodating Libra at 8:10 pm EST reminds us to consider other people’s needs, too.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Although you may feel like changing the course of events today, others might not be willing to follow your lead. You could be too impulsive, since you’re inclined to jump to conclusions without having the necessary facts to support your fantastic ideas. Go ahead and be as inventive as possible now, but don’t expect anyone else to join in your parade. March to the sound of your own drum instead of waiting for something to happen.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

You like knowing what’s real, yet a whole new set of data may come to your attention today that gives rise to self-doubt. You might even question whether or not you’re on the right track. Your resistance to change could harden into rigidity but this isn’t a sensible strategy, especially if your previous assumptions were wrong. Remaining open to other options doesn’t fix the underlying problem, but it can make your day easier to manage along the way.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

You’re on top of your mental game today and can amaze people with your wit and wisdom. However, extra care is required or you might become so enthralled with your own cleverness that you take an argument too far. Too much eagerness on your part could cause you to lose ground in a conflict. Go ahead and take a risk, but think twice before pushing your luck.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

You may step on someone’s toes unintentionally because you’re uncharacteristically insensitive today. Normally, you’re acutely aware of people’s feelings, but you might get so excited now that compassion falls to the wayside. Your temporary lack of concern doesn’t mean you are unkind; it’s just that your enthusiasm makes you a bit inconsiderate. The simple solution is to stop and think about the impact of your words before you speak them.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You are eager to enjoy yourself today, but previous commitments might present time management problems. Unfortunately, your nervous energy could grow distracting unless you consciously channel it into a creative activity. It’s a good day to work in partnership with someone whose approach is much different from yours. A collaborative effort can be highly productive and may even bring the personal satisfaction you were originally seeking.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

An unconventional plan helps to break you out of a familiar rut today. A job-related issue that’s been eluding resolution may suddenly be put to rest, with the answer coming to you like a bolt of lightning. But don’t take yourself too seriously, even if your solution is brilliant; acting in a self-righteous manner puts others on the defensive. Simply make your decision and then move on without the need to prove your superiority.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your day won’t likely run as smoothly as you wish because unexpected circumstances can have a dramatic impact on your schedule. Unfortunately, you might become quite frustrated if you cling to your original agenda. The smartest way to handle irresolvable tension now is to simply let it go. Acknowledging that fate is temporarily in charge of your life makes embracing the surprises more pleasant than resisting them to no avail.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Worrying about an unlikely outcome only creates additional stress as you become enthused about a radical approach to a sticky problem at work. There are many possible solutions now, but you have reservations about moving into uncharted territory by taking charge. Your ideas are probably better than you think, so go ahead and initiate action. You can always make necessary adjustments and try again later if you don’t hit the nail directly on the head.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

The notion of doing something completely different from everyone’s expectations is rather thrilling now. Unplanned activities may supersede your previous commitments. You could even stir up a bit of mischief just to see what kind of reaction you get. Have fun; there’s no need to go out of your way to conform since your current unconventional ideas will likely lead to a sensible plan by tomorrow.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You are usually cautious in your conversations about business, but your thoughts may be so loud today that it’s hard to keep quiet. You might even say contradictory things now, which lowers your overall credibility. Instead of rambling on and on, continue to develop your ideas on your own and wait until tomorrow before sharing them. You’ll have a much better chance of impressing others if your plan is well conceived.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Your nervous system is wired tightly today while chatty Mercury is getting buzzed by electric Uranus, your key planet. Be careful, since you could easily commit your time and energy to a creative project that isn’t really in your best interest. Consider the consequences before agreeing to an endeavor that can drain your resources. There’s no reason to add more activity to your already busy schedule unless it’s something you really want to pursue

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You want to show everyone how independent you are today, making you less accommodating than usual. Your patience may be tested, tempting you to say something that could be disruptive. Nevertheless, you don’t have to put up with childish games as long as you’re prepared to deal with the ramifications of your current rebelliousness. Thankfully, the results will be worth the temporary turmoil if you clearly express your honorable intentions to others.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for January 3rd

How you deal with delays and frustrations can test your character. This theme may be prevalent today as a void lunar uncertainty zone begins at 4:16AM PST during a Moon-Venus square of 90-degrees. From 4:16AM PST to 5:12PM PST, it is best to go with the flow, complete old business on a high note, and put new, bold enterprises on hold while the void-of-course Moon in Virgo is in charge. During the unsettled nature of today’s lunar predicament, Mercury squares Uranus (8:31AM PST) while Venus opposes Ceres (9:01AM PST). Major aspects that occur during a void time-span are usually watered-down or made less influential. Therefore, the Mercury-Uranus square from Capricorn to Aries is a challenge on the communication, literary and educational fronts, but the aspect may lose some of its volatility and anxiety. The Venus-Ceres polarity is a reminder to stay as productive as possible in crafts and hobbies, but don’t go overboard on complex projects difficult to manage effectively. Once the Moon enters Libran territory (5:12PM PST), the cosmos is directing you to improve the quality of your primary partnerships and plunge into a favorite fine or graphic art project. Love vibrations increase in frequency — courtesy of a Sun-Venus parallel (6:05PM PST). Let the good times roll at an impromptu party tonight.

Your Daily Cosmic Calendar for January 2

Cleaning up your act may still be in the offing on the second day of 2013. Virgo Moon remains in force and that often translates as the need to get rid of non-essentials. Bring outgrown clothing to second-hand stores for resale. Make the kitchen and bath areas shine again. Stock up on vitamins, minerals, soaps, lotions, herbs, nuts, seeds, and seasonings. The little things of life can make or break your day. Fortunately, the Moon in Virgo and the Sun in Capricorn form a harmonious trine (9:00AM PST) — providing much of the day with an optimistic sense that goodwill can prevail over worry and self-doubt. You want to bask in this aura of physical vitality, emotional fortitude, and mental exuberance for as long as possible because a Mars-Pluto parallel at 20 degrees south of the Celestial Equator clocks in at 7:47PM PST. Parallels are calculated via north and south distances from the great circle around the Earth known as the Celestial Equator. Many professional astrologers see parallels as fairly equivalent to conjunctions of cosmic bodies in the zodiac or via the Ecliptic (the apparent Sun’s path in the sky). This Mars-Pluto encounter indicates that the psychic atmosphere is filling up with assorted tensions. Pressing the anger button or barking out commands to dear ones is taboo. Strive for serenity and direct your passions into enjoying exercise routines or athletic contests.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, January 1

Unimportant events that might normally pass by unnoticed now stand out with greater emphasis once the Moon slips into detail-oriented Virgo and sharpens our perspective. However, words don’t seem to match up with what’s happening as communicator Mercury aligns with confusing Neptune. The Moon’s stressful opposition to Neptune infuses our feelings with fantasy. Nevertheless, separating facts from fiction can be enough to create positive change.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Although this is likely a day away from work, there might be so much to do at home that you wish you were on the job. Nevertheless, you can see past the present moment as you anticipate the waves of relief heading your way. In the meantime, focusing on the present moment keeps your mind occupied. Don’t let your responsibilities lag; taking care of the most pressing tasks right away eases the intensity so you can find time to relax.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

A cautious approach to having fun today might sound restrictive at first, but you should be able to make this strategy work with ease. There is no need to go overboard with any type of indulgence; you can thoroughly enjoy yourself now by sharing simple pleasures with your friends or family. Instead of scheming for more gratification in the future, find contentment with what you have in the present.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

You may feel conflicted today because you’re currently motivated by needs that are different from your natural tendencies. Normally, you would choose communication over silence and activity over passivity. However, you can recharge your emotional batteries now by passing up a tempting party invitation or skipping a distracting trip to the bookstore. But even if you wisely choose to retreat, a part of you still longs for the action. Rest now; play later.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

You are unsure about how involved you want to get with the emotional dramas that are unfolding around you. You might decide that acting cautiously is smarter than jumping into a conflict, only to discover that you are already playing a role in the scene anyhow. You may as well offer your assistance today, for your resistance will only delay a workable resolution. Showing your support by listening to your friends is the first step to establishing common ground.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You may doubt yourself if you are putting too much effort into containing your energy. You’re happiest when your love can be expressed naturally and everyone fully appreciates the magic you bring to their world. Now, however, it’s tricky finding a healthy balance between your inner and outer worlds. Too much exuberance makes others uncomfortable. Too much self-restraint prompts them to worry about you. Don’t be overly concerned; ultimately, all you can do is be yourself.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Even if there are unresolved issues floating around a current relationship, you can still latch onto a sense of well-being today. Once you decide to take everything in stride, communication becomes more straightforward and you’re apt to just say what’s on your mind. You’re smart enough to know that some things are beyond fixing, and worrying about them won’t make it easier to let go. Forget about the big picture for a while and revel in what you can do in the present moment.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Retreating from the hectic world is a smart idea today and if you take care of your responsibilities early on, you can actually manifest a very relaxing day. However, you must scale back your social obligations or things probably won’t unfold according to your ideal plan. Be ready for a few unexpected twists and turns; engage them willingly instead of resisting the inevitable. Your adaptability is the secret to your success.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Although you might believe that being alone with your thoughts is the best way to spend the day, you will probably be better off hanging out with others today. But don’t squander your time by celebrating with just anyone; you can be as selective as you want when it comes to the company you keep. Choose a few special friends and carve out enough space to share something meaningful. An unexpected gift of appreciation or a warm gesture of affection is a wonderful way to demonstrate your love.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You have recently experienced a phase of expansionism and it’s time to re-establish balance in your life. Actually, your tendency to overstep limits may be a central theme for months to come, but it’s still not healthy to lose yourself in unrealistic visions for next year. Instead, focus your attention on something you can change right now — in the present moment. Today, thinking small is your smartest strategy.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Having a concrete plan can help you feel better, but it still may be difficult to turn your thoughts into actions today. Don’t be too self-judgmental if you can’t yet get the traction you desire. You wisely realize that the best ideas take time to develop. Nevertheless, remember that you are currently caught between optimism and realism. Be patient; the pace will accelerate in the months ahead and a solid foundation prepares you for the changes of the future.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

It’s awesome that you can still be comfortable even when life gets strange and weird. It’s not that anything in particular is going wrong now; it’s just that there are lots of loose ends that defy tying up. Instead of attempting to finish last year’s business today, accepting circumstances as they are may be your most intelligent approach. Your irreverent sense of humor might just save the day, capturing the attention of admirers of a quick wit.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your friends might try to bring you back down to earth today, but it’s not easy to spend time with them if they’re raining on your dreams and draining your enthusiasm. It’s not that they have bad intentions where you’re concerned; it’s just that they don’t understand the intense relationship you have with your imagination. You can be more tolerant of others once you understand that they sincerely have your happiness in mind.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Monday, December 31st

We may be eager to celebrate the New Year with fun and frivolity now that the Moon is visiting playful Leo. But expressing our holiday spirit at a party won’t tell the whole story today because rational Mercury enters serious Capricorn this morning. Meanwhile, assertive Mars forms an anxious alignment with sensual Venus, encouraging us to ask for what we want. However, we’re interested now in meaningful discussions about issues of substance.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Although you want everyone to see that you are doing the right thing these days, demonstrating your good intentions can be quite challenging at times. Part of the problem is that you would rather be enjoying yourself than fulfilling previous obligations. Accepting your current place in the world isn’t easy if it involves hard work; nevertheless, it’s what you must do now. Playtime might just have to wait until after you prove yourself worthy.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

You know what it takes to be practical today, but you don’t really feel like doing it. Ultimately, your most workable strategy now starts with being aware of the divergent forces that are pulling you in different directions. Your natural desire to simplify your life could win out over an unnecessary emotional display, even if you want everyone to know what’s on your mind. Remember, acting with maturity and patience will bring you more happiness than expecting others to cater to your needs.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

It seems like you are dramatically running from one task to the next, but you may not be as busy as you appear. Your hectic pace is part of a strategy that lets others know they shouldn’t ask more from you now. Unfortunately, they might not understand and make additional demands on your time, anyhow. Try a direct approach and just say you cannot take on anything else. Your true friends will appreciate your honesty and respect your limits.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Even if you are usually fiscally cautious, it’s all too easy to forget budgetary restraints during the holiday season. Nevertheless, you might want to demonstrate that you are responsible with your money today, especially if someone has recently criticized your spending habits. Keep in mind that you don’t have to spend a lot of money to feel good about yourself. Bringing in the New Year with friends or family could be all you need to lift your spirits.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You may be quite moody now that the sensitive Moon is in your sign. You could even swing from being very upbeat to down and out in just a few minutes today. But don’t take decisive action based upon your emotions, for they will continue to shift throughout the day. Enjoy the buoyant feelings while they last, but give them time to come to rest before making any choices that have permanent consequences.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You might choose to downplay your confidence now because you believe it’s out of place in the current situation. Although compensating for your hidden optimism by acting with cool restraint is one tactic, consider the positive impact you might have on others by offering them a ray of hope, instead. There’s no need to go over the top, but, at least, take a risk by spreading light instead of fear.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your kindness might win over a previous enemy, yet you could make matters worse if you are insincere. Friendly Venus, your ruling planet, is currently caught in a web of words and the more you say, the farther away from the truth you get. Although a magnanimous gesture may have a positive effect if you are well intended, don’t attempt to explain your behavior. Verbalizing your feelings now only detracts from the clarity of your actions.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Coming to the aid of those who look up to you sounds like a good idea, but your actions may not be fully appreciated now. Instead of expecting to be admired in the spotlight, try helping someone today without even being noticed. It’s not about recognition, even if it’s well deserved; it’s about touching the hearts of those who need it most.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

It’s party time for you today, but at least you have the good sense to realize that the fun times won’t last forever. You’re eager to create a memorable event, whether on your own or in collaboration with others. But don’t be disappointed if everything doesn’t play out according to your best-case fantasy since there could be some unexpected last minute changes. There’s no need to exert too much control because the new scenario could be even better than your imagined one.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You have probably experienced your share of intense drama this holiday season with the willful Sun’s connection to shadowy Pluto. Thankfully, the energy begins to lighten up today, indicating that the tide is changing in your favor. But instead of looking back and analyzing what has happened, shift your attention toward the future. Utilize your current creativity to visualize the year ahead. Paint in broad strokes and fill in the rest of the details later.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

The fiery Leo Moon is traveling through your 7th House of Others, tugging on your relationship axis today. You may be lured into discussions about what you want, but your desires might not fit into someone else’s expectations. Luckily, you know how to detach yourself from an overly emotional conversation. Don’t waste energy trying to justify your actions; convoluted rationalizations will only further complicate your life. Let your actions speak for your heart.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Trust your instincts when it comes to doing what makes the most sense today, even if it’s counter to your logical analysis. You’re receiving instructions directly from your subconscious now and it isn’t necessary to understand the reasons for your current decisions. Your intuition is your greatest ally; just follow your hunches and don’t forget to enjoy the journey along the way.

Daily Horoscopes for Sunday, December 30th

We want to demonstrate our love today because the Moon enters heartfelt Leo at 2:45 am EST, but positive intentions only take us so far. Fortunately, exploring hidden feelings reveals buried treasure as the radiant Sun aligns with transformational Pluto and realistic Saturn. If we avoid our fears, we’ll shadowbox with an unknown enemy. But shining the light of awareness into the dark can prevent us from being swept up in the current turmoil.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You’re driven to set personal goals for the year ahead, without worrying about helping anyone else. You may incorrectly believe that the possibility of your success could be jeopardized if others also have a chance of succeeding. However, this faulty assumption comes from your outdated belief in a competitive model where there are winners and losers. Thankfully, reaching your destination is easier now when everyone works together for the common good.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

Your drive for adventure could become irrepressible as the Sun conjuncts unrelenting Pluto in your 9th House of Big Ideas. Your current sense of urgency won’t likely disappear even if you try to relax. Consider how to satisfy your needs without upsetting your life instead of denying your current wanderlust. Fortunately, enrolling in a course of study expands your mind without distracting you with unrealistic dreams.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

Steer clear of discussions about risky investments of time or money today while the Sun-Pluto conjunction rattles your 8th House of Shared Resources. You might believe that you will come out on top if you simply do your research. But flimsy schemes that promise fast fortunes should be avoided. Improving your position through a clever venture sounds eCancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Today’s magnetic Sun-Pluto conjunction attracts intense people into your life and they could be significant to your personal growth. Friends or associates may reflect a part of yourself that you don’t want to acknowledge. Even if you want to hold on to the status quo now, dynamic changes are afoot. Relinquishing control enables you to flow with the strong currents, wherever they are taking you next.

nticing now, but greed could end up costing more than it’s worth.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You might begin a new diet today, even if much of the world is happily indulging in holiday feasts. However, you’re not in your usual party spirit now because you’re thinking about cleaning up your act. It’s not that you want to have less fun; you just know that you need to improve your health and you’re highly motivated to do something about it. Relax; enjoying the magic of the season won’t make you forget your long-term goals.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

The intense Sun-Pluto conjunction in your 4th House of Emotional Security distracts you from your career-related goals. However, you must manage the complexity of the current situation to realize your fullest potential. Sidestepping an interpersonal issue isn’t a viable choice today because your frustration could lead to a crisis. Bringing secrets out into the open might be just the preventative measure you need.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You’re accustomed to high levels of intensity in your relationships, but occasionally avoidance is smarter than direct confrontation. Unfortunately, you can’t dance around your wounded feelings today, even if you are not comfortable talking about them. Luckily, your prospects for real healing improve once your old hurts are acknowledged and shared with someone you trust.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You may be upset today if someone just assumes that your possessions are for communal property. You could overreact and even grow hostile if what you own feels like an extension of your identity. However, your current attachment to your toys isn’t very sensible. If you can’t share what you have now, then you probably shouldn’t be playing with others. Setting clear boundaries is one thing, but there’s no reason to be unkind to those around you.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

A passionate Sun-Pluto conjunction occurs in your 1st House of Self, giving you an apparently endless supply of energy. But feeling all that power is a double-edged sword today, for you may be driven by psychological forces that you don’t understand. One strategy for handling your current intensity is to channel your intentions in a constructive manner. For example, writing down your goals and then stating them aloud is the first step to fulfilling your dreams.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You want to care for someone special today, but it might not be such a good idea if you haven’t been asked to help. An emotionally awkward situation could develop if you assist others who do not want your interference. If anyone refuses your aid now, just be gracious and politely wish them well. Don’t hold on to feelings of rejection or all your good intentions will be for naught.

December 29 – Daily Feast

Never turn your good successful idea into an organization and set up councils and committees to run it. If you do, you will lose the common touch and the organization will turn to catchy phrases and initials that identify it. Committees will spend their time having lunch and talking about promotion rather than quality. People lose sight of quality and service as they try to squeeze out more hours, more money, more product that no longer is what it once was. Watch out for titles and power and wretched little people who want recognition with as little work as possible. Come down off of it. Do good service, make a good product that is not chicken soup from chemical flavorings. Do everything with the motto, “I can be trusted.” It will amaze you what it can do.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Saturday, December 29th

It’s difficult to make up our minds today because intense emotions are pulling us in different directions. On one hand, the nurturing Cancer Moon motivates us to draw our energy inward to focus on home and family. On the other hand, an exuberant Sun-Jupiter quincunx encourages us to question old assumptions that limit our expression. Meanwhile, we can feel the powerful rumblings of tomorrow’s Sun-Pluto conjunction. Love, not fear, will lead us to success.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Although you might try to convince yourself that you’re free from emotional attachments, there’s a problem with this approach today. Little events throughout the day remind you of how much you love your friends and family. Ultimately, it’s your choice; you could easily avoid upsetting your security by reining in your unrestrained behavior. However, you may alienate others if you hide your feelings. Sharing your uncertainty before you become annoyed can relieve the building tension.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

A clash with a good friend could be circumvented today, but it will take some serious restraint on your part. You might feel as if someone is baiting you, but it’s actually your own worries that create the biggest problems now. Rather than blaming anyone else for your lack of confidence, consider what you can do to boost your self-esteem. Remember, change won’t happen overnight but you have to start somewhere.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

You might have a challenging time explaining your feelings today because it’s easier to just keep them to yourself. Even if you know what you want to say, the words just don’t come out the way that you think them. Try not to jump around from one subject to another now or you will leave others in a state of confusion. However, telling your story succinctly and then following through with direct action gives the positive impression you wish to project.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

You may be hypersensitive today with the evocative Moon back in your sign. But being around too many people can be overwhelming now and you’re tempted to retreat in order to honor your own need for boundaries. Unfortunately, you might not be able to get out of a social obligation. Instead of focusing on your annoyance, just postpone your quiet time until things settle down. You could be pleasantly surprised at how good you end up feeling by the end of the day.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You realize the necessity of making changes to your daily routine, but you might not understand just yet how big this shift will be. Don’t expect everything to happen right away, since there are circumstances beyond your control that must play out before you can take your next step. Thankfully, you’re willing to do whatever needs to be done in order to get through this transition. Be patient; there’s a light at the end of the tunnel

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You want to break free at any cost, especially if you feel as if you’re stuck in an unchangeable situation. You are ready for action since you’ve already spent enough time contemplating all your options. Unfortunately, forcing progress today is not recommended because the security-conscious Cancer Moon is visiting your 11th House of Long-Term Goals. Be wise and maintain the status quo for a little while longer. Trust your intuition; you’ll know when the time is right to make your move.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You could be feeling a bit uneasy today without knowing why you can’t settle down. Your free-floating anxiety may not be connected to any one event; it might be related to a more complex set of emotions. Don’t look for a quick fix because that will only put off the inevitable for a few days. Instead, take your time to find healthy ways to relax even in times of stress. Practicing meditation, laughing with your friends, or just dancing around when no one is watching can help lighten your heart.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You’re tempted to dig in your heels and hold out for exactly what you want, but the end game of your current strategy isn’t dependent on your stubbornness. In fact, your lack of flexibility complicates things and moves you even farther away from your ultimate destination. Rather than being so sure of yourself, remain open to compromise now. Flowing with the give-and-take helps you feel good about the situation and increases your chances for success.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Although you could be eager to embark on your next great journey, it may be discouraging to admit you haven’t even bought a ticket yet. Unfortunately, there are too many demands on your time now for you to think that you can leave on the spur of the moment. Be patient and don’t let go of your dreams; there’s still time to work out all the details before you have to choose your destination.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Your current uncertainty could put you in a more conservative frame of mind, prompting you to question your ability to reach your long-term goals. But don’t give up too soon because you might not have all the facts at your disposal. Although you may feel the pressure to make a serious career decision today, it’s smarter to delay your final choice until after the New Year, if possible.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You are thrilled about the possibilities ahead, but too much optimism may inspire you to act impulsively. This is no time for foolish obstinacy because it only amplifies the stress. It’s wiser to acknowledge your enthusiasm while practicing self-restraint. Instead of thinking you can simply overpower the obstacles you face, try to learn what valuable lessons they have to teach you now.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You’re still processing a lot of information that recently came into your awareness, but it’s not easy to integrate so much data all at once. Nevertheless, you might feel as if a deadline is quickly approaching. Unfortunately, if you try to move too fast, you could end up hitting a wall. Ask a trusted friend for help today, so you have someone else to listen to your story. Any feedback you receive at this time can move you closer to your desired destination.

Your Love Horoscopes for the Weekend of December 28 – 30

Weekend Love Horoscopes

December 28 – 30: Dramarama

Jeff Jawer on the topics of love, horoscopes, astrology

We head into the last weekend of the year on an intense note, with a Full Moon inhypersensitive Cancer early on Friday morning. A tendency to take everything personally could provoke defensive attitudes, so do your best to make yourself and others comfortable to create a sense of safety. Familiar people, places and activities provide a security blanket that is likely to reduce tension and increase trust.

There are no significant planetary events on Saturday before the Moon shifts into bold and expressive Leo in the wee hours of Sunday morning. Night owls may be ready to howl with excitement with a serious dose of manic energy as the Sun approaches a conjunction with potent Pluto that tends to push us to extremes.

Some people may be staying out of sight, settling in for a quiet time to keep nerves calm. Others, though, could be in a mood to push buttons that stir strong reactions. Just understand that there’s a theatrical side to the proud Leo Moon, which adds drama to our emotions. Maintaining a sense of humor allows us to watch the show, or even play a central role in it, without taking it or ourselves too seriously.

Your Daily Cosmic Calendar for December 29th

As mentioned at the end of yesterday’s calendar entry, the Sun and Jupiter are vying for supremacy during their off-kilter, 150-degree encounter (12:28AM PST). The Sun can never go retrograde from the Earth’s vantage point, but Jupiter — like all the other major planets and asteroids — can appear to go into reverse each year and does so for 3 to 4 months at a time. Jupiter went retrograde in Gemini on October 4, 2012 and won’t return to forward motion until January 30, 2013. Since Jupiter is the largest planet, it has much to do with large-scale professional plans and big business ventures. Trying to push these kinds of activities ahead right now may be foolish because these two biggest celestial bodies in our solar system are at odds with each other. In addition, the Moon in Cancer is back in one of its lengthy void sessions and won’t step out of that characteristic until 11:46PM PST tonight. In the meantime, tensions may be afflicting the communication and transportation realms as Mercury squares Pallas (7:27AM PST). Snafus and mix-ups can increase mental tensions. Nevertheless, if you want to try and tweak this Mercury-Pallas interaction in order to be a savvy problem-solver, you have several hours within which to reveal your versatile skills. Welcome the end of the void lunar cycle in Cancer (11:46PM PST) as the Moon enters heart-centered Leo — the Moon’s zodiacal placement through the start of the New Year.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Friday, December 28th

Put low-level desires on the back burner and give selfish urges the old heave-ho. It’s time for the solar and lunar orbs to reach their monthly crescendo. This Full Moon energizes 8 degrees of Capricorn and Cancer (2:22AM PST). Individual and group meditations are recommended. Think more about what you can do for relatives, friends and associates rather than your own personal needs. Enlightening forces are attempting to illuminate the entire landscape of the human species while also bearing gifts of the spirit to the animal, plant and mineral kingdoms. You may want to get busy with other key tasks and plans in the early hours before the Moon trines Saturn in water signs (6:44AM PST) — a 120-degree link that also starts a long void uncertainty zone that lasts until 11:46PM PST tomorrow night. If you add up those hours, it means that this void-of-course lunar experience goes on for 41+ hours. You are advised to drop old worries like a hot potato and enjoy going with the cosmic flow for a change of pace. Strive to finish projects that relate to familial or residential matters. If parental themes and memories bombard your waking consciousness, it is due to a frictional, 135-degree tie from Ceres to Saturn (8:45PM PST). Whenever Ceres and Saturn connect in the heavens, the earthly reflection has something to do with maternal and paternal issues. Emulate the tortoise over the hare overnight since the Sun makes an off-kilter, 150-degree link-up with Jupiter (12:28AM PST on Saturday). By slowing your pace, it is easier to adjust yourself to the fact that giant Jupiter remains retrograde until January 30, 2013.

Calendar of the Sun for December 28th

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.)
