Daily Horoscopes for September 21st

We take ourselves more seriously as the moody Cancer Moon forms stressful aspects with domineering Pluto, pleasant Venus and somber Saturn. By the end of the day we may feel as if we’ve been run through the wringer. An anxious quincunx from angry Mars to healing Chiron doesn’t help to soothe our worries. However, a quincunx from the Sun to nebulous Neptune can ameliorate a tense situation by dissipating intense emotions before any damage is done.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

If you’ve been withholding your feelings, it’s time to release them now that feisty Mars aspects wounded Chiron. Unfortunately, there may be a price to pay because you know more than you are willing to admit. Unexpressed emotions can stew until you lose your temper, so don’t keep secrets any longer than necessary. Forgiving yourself is just as important as forgiving others.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Although you may not enjoy being mad at others, you could feel on-edge today and some unsuspecting little thing might be enough to set you off. Naturally, your frustration can prompt angry words, but don’t let your thoughts slip out unconsciously. Pay attention and stop yourself from stirring up trouble. Be honest, but remember that blaming anyone else is entirely unnecessary and counterproductive.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You may have to handle an urgent financial situation that you let go for too long. It could be as simple as processing a bank transaction or paying a bill. But it might require you to set aside time today to get ready for something later in the week. Luckily, your natural flexibility enables you to move through this minor crisis with ease.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Although you don’t want to place your feelings out in the open for everyone to see, you’re determined to take more of a risk now as headstrong Mars in your 2nd House of Core Beliefs aspects healing Chiron. Meanwhile, the Moon is back in your sign, empowering you to demonstrate your emotional intelligence; forfeit your personal agenda today so you can go along with the general consensus of the group.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Someone may be waiting for your support, but you could be annoyed that he or she isn’t forthright enough to just come out and ask for help. Remember, others might not be as willing to share their feelings as you are, yet there’s nothing to be gained by comparing yourself to your friends. It’s healthier to express any anger you are feeling as gently as possible, before it builds into something more complicated and becomes harder to manage.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your friends may come riding to the rescue now that the nurturing Cancer Moon is in your 11th House of Social Networking. Don’t be surprised if others defend your ideas or stand up for your integrity. You might think that everything is being blown out of proportion today, but it’s still healthy to protect yourself against someone’s attack. Don’t hesitate to demonstrate that you’re capable of owning your ideas and maintaining an unpopular position.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You won’t likely feel indecisive today, for there’s very little uncertainty in your thoughts and actions. You know exactly how you’re feeling now, but don’t necessarily want to share your emotions with anyone else, even if others are trying to coerce you into spilling the beans. Although you might prefer to be diplomatic, do whatever you must to set clear boundaries so you can maintain your sense of security.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Someone may think you’re being too intense today when you share your personal vision of the future. But the Moon in your 9th House of Big Ideas squares radical Uranus, leaving you torn between following the rules and doing something totally off the wall. Although you’re probably leaning toward the expressive, rather than the suppressive, side of the equation, it’s still wise to withdraw for a while to give everyone some breathing room.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

It may come as a shock to a close friend or lover that you want to dig into the emotional underpinnings of your relationship today. Although this may be out of your normal comfort zone, you realize that understanding the current power dynamics is important now. You intuitively know that two opposing factions can be brought back together again through dialogue. Remember, temporarily loosening the reins of control could ultimately shift the advantage in your favor.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You’re not in the mood to listen to others whine about circumstances that are not within their individual control. The responsive Cancer Moon’s current visit to your 7th of Relationships encourages you to instruct people to accept their fate and then put their efforts toward something that truly matters. Unfortunately, some folks just don’t get the message and others don’t even seem to care. The truth is that once you have given your opinion, it’s up to everyone else to change their attitudes.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Following your intuition is your secret strategy today and it can transform you from an ordinary human being into a veritable superhero. Fortunately, you have the stamina now to make your dreams come true, so don’t give up. There’s no value in justifying your choices to everyone else. All the right words can only do so much; lead by example, instead.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Relationships seem complicated by issues you cannot quite grasp as you try to untangle your feelings from the pile. You may believe that you should be setting new boundaries, but you really don’t want to distance yourself from the value of working closely with others at this time. Although you might not feel like being very expressive today, don’t be afraid of telling others what’s on your mind. You might be pleasantly surprised by what happens next.

Weekly Love Horoscopes for the Week of Monday, September 19th

Relationship season begins on Friday when the Sun enters peace-seeking Libra, the sign of partnering. Greater consciousness of what it takes to make unions work is a potential benefit during the next thirty days. However, a provocative Mars-Uranus trine on Friday may trigger shocking surprises and powerful impulses that can shake existing alliances or break open the possibilities for very different kinds of new ones. Adaptability is essential during these changing times; standing still is no longer a viable option.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You’re ready to be your rowdy and rambunctious self this weekend when the Moon visits your 5th House of Romance on Friday and Saturday. Taking some playful risks is difficult to resist now that experimental Uranus is activating your passionate ruling planet Mars. It’s a good time to have fun without concerning yourself too much about long-term consequences.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You may be a little off your game on Friday and Saturday with the Moon traveling through your 6th House of Adjustments. However, making compromises can pay off on Sunday with a lunar shift into your 5th House of Romance. Creating specific plans for a special outing is likely to be rewarded with plenty of pleasure. Yet trying to improvise at the last minute could leave you feeling less appreciated than you like.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

There are plenty of good reasons to be as outgoing as possible this weekend. The Sun’s entry into your 5th House of Self-Expression on Friday sets you up to attract plenty of attention. And, the Moon’s presence in bold Leo and your chatty 3rd House on Friday and Saturday makes it easy to demonstrate your creativity and meet new people in the process. Your playful comments, though, may be taken seriously unless you make it perfectly clear that you’re only joking.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Making peace with the past is the best way to ensure a more fulfilling relationship future. The Sun enters harmonious Libra and your 4th House of Roots on Friday, offering you a completely different perspective on your personal history. Instead of running the gamut between high hopes and deep doubts, finding your inner emotional balance will put you in a much more comfortable place.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

The Moon’s presence in your outgoing and dramatic sign on Friday and Saturday can unleash your inner party animal. You’re not going to go unnoticed, even if you have to go to extremes to get attention. Still, if you act with reckless abandon, prepare to shift from public boldness to gentleness in private to create the heart connection you desire.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

It’s tempting to stand on the sidelines and find fault with others on Friday and Saturday. The Moon’s visit to your 12th House of Privacy tends to make you feel like an outsider. But on Sunday the mood-setting Moon enters your pragmatic sign, giving you the green light for making a move. Just remember that an open heart and generous spirit are worth more than perfect looks or exemplary behavior.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

The Sun’s entry into your sociable sign on Friday is likely to put you in a more outgoing mood. Hanging out with playful friends or participating in a fun group event can really get your motor going on Friday and Saturday. Being the leader of the pack is certainly a good way to earn attention and respect, enabling you to show a more confident side of your personality which makes you more captivating to your admirers.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Of course, you can always find flaws when you look for them, but that’s a good way to sideline your social life this weekend. The Moon is in expressive Leo and your 10th House of Career on Friday and Saturday, which can put you in a position of responsibility. Handling your obligations with a playful attitude and a generous heart lightens your load and casts you in a bright spotlight of desirability.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your restless spirit is stoked for adventure with the Moon traveling through your 9th House of Faraway Places on Friday and Saturday. Connecting with someone from a different culture or experiencing art, food or music from other countries can provide the spice to make this a delicious time. If you have a partner, try doing something totally new together, since sticking to familiar activities lacks the excitement you need now.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Dealing with an overheating individual is possible this weekend with the fiery Leo Moon lighting up your 8th House of Intimacy on Friday and Saturday. While you might be right to be skeptical about someone who promises too much, it’s probably wise to open up a little bit in your approach. Taking chances may not be your usual practice, but when it comes to matters of the heart, this is a time to push your luck.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

The Moon is moving through your relationship houses all weekend, putting partnership concerns on the front burner. Let your brain work less and your heart open more on Friday and Saturday when the Leo Moon rewards those who take risks. A lunar shift into logical Virgo on Sunday is when it’s appropriate to adopt a more practical view of the situation and make whatever adjustments are needed.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

The Moon is the key to your emotions, and she sits below the horizon in your chart this weekend until the wee hours on Sunday morning. That’s when the fun begins for you, because your chances of connecting with someone new or making improvements in a current relationship are likely. Remember that you can be specific about your needs and still be a loving and generous person.

New Moon Report for September 18th – Mars in Leo

Mars in Leo

Sunday, September 18, 6:51 pm PDT, 9:51 pm EDT

Fiery Mars feels at home in Leo where creativity, confidence and charisma abound. Yet these positive attributes may come at a price. Excessive pride or conceit can turn every act into a performance where spontaneity is inhibited by hunger for approval. Innocently enjoying self-expression with art, romance, fun and games balances the ego’s constant need for attention.

A Sharp View of the Sun

Explanation: Here is one of the sharper views of the Sun ever taken. This stunning image shows remarkable details of a dark sunspot across the image bottom and numerous boiling granules which appear like kernels of corn across the top. Taken in 2002, the picture was made using the Swedish Solar Telescope operating on the Canary Island of La Palma. The high resolution image was achieved using sophisticated adaptive optics, digital image stacking, and other processing techniques to counter the blurring effect of Earth’s atmosphere. Currently a sunspot group is crossing the Sun that is so large it can be easily seen by the cautious observer even without magnification.

Daily Horoscopes for Friday, Sept. 16th

Today’s sensible Taurus Moon and Virgo Sun help us reduce the extraneous noise so we can consider what is most important to our survival and happiness. The Moon’s early-morning trine to Pluto in solid Capricorn strengthens our resolve to simplify our lives while her hook-up with jovial Jupiter encourages us to enjoy ourselves. Nevertheless, we can still sense a rising tide of excitement as we approach tomorrow’s electric Venus-Uranus opposition.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You are so enthusiastic about all the possibilities today that it’s difficult to settle down. You might not notice the tension that’s building because a Mars-Neptune alignment is preventing you from seeing how the current circumstances will unfold. Nevertheless, the earthy Taurus Moon helps to filter out some of the unreliable information now, so it’s still safe to trust your senses in the immediate moment without trying to figure out what may happen next.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

The Moon’s visit to your bucolic sign normally helps you find the solace you seek. However, you may grow bored today and start thinking about different ways to add excitement into your life. But be careful, for once you open the floodgates, you might wish for the calmer times you left behind. Instead of destabilizing your life, just change your attitude. You don’t have to turn everything upside down to make your day a success.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You may be craving a little action and are eager to party even before you complete your work. However, you cannot just go off and play. If you’re frustrated, your annoyance might grow into resentment and stand in the way of your fun later on. Stop wasting your time; meet your obligations expediently, so you can have yourself a great time once everything’s done.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You probably realize how amazing your friends are now, especially those who stand up to defend you or rush to your side when you need their help. Ironically, they may not think that their behavior is out of the ordinary — and that’s what makes it so special. There’s no reason to turn your appreciation into too big of a deal today as long as you make certain that those you cherish know how much you appreciate them.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You know exactly what you should be doing today, but your heart isn’t into it. You are bored with someone else’s agenda and don’t want to chase a pot of gold that isn’t at the end of your own rainbow. It’s healthy to focus on your personal goals now rather than anyone else’s. Just be sure that your heightened practicality doesn’t stand between you and an otherwise delightful time.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You might have an exciting vision about your future today without necessarily being too impractical about it. Although you can imagine an extraordinary outcome to your current situation, it’s not beyond your reach. Just be careful about stepping over the fine line between possibilities and fantasies. Believing in the impossible will help you stretch beyond your normal limits, but reaching your destination will still take advanced planning and hard work.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You’re tired of being patient because you know exactly what you want and see no logical reason to wait any longer before initiating action. Your sense of urgency may be fueled by someone who seems to be even more impulsive than you are today. Still, there’s something that’s holding you back. Don’t overanalyze your feelings. Just listen to your intuition; if you think that postponing your move makes sense, then that is exactly what you should do.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Someone may be enticing you to take a risk, but you’re not quite ready to jump. Still, the support you receive feels good and it does make you consider reaching for the stars. You are tempted to reveal your current negativity, yet doing so could jeopardize what you have already created. Of course you are free to respond however you see fit, but minimizing your concerns could ameliorate the tension, at least for now.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

It’s tempting to lower your expectations now so your co-workers don’t disappoint you with their lack of reliability. But you won’t likely reach your goals if you let someone off the hook too easily, so adopting a relaxed approach isn’t a smart tactic for long. Keep your aim high, remind others of their commitments and you won’t fall short of your target.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may be a bit scattered at work today because you’re thinking of everything else you would rather be doing. But if your current activities aren’t bringing you pleasure, your thoughts could fly all over the place as you attempt to find your groove. Instead of trying to make progress on every front, just pick one and focus all of your attention on it. Limit your options now so you can expand your future possibilities later.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You wish you could be irresponsible today and avoid following through on your previous promises. You might make a judgment error that leads you to think that you’re more effective motivating others now rather than just meeting your obligations. In truth, the best leadership skill you could apply now is setting an example for everyone to follow. Don’t talk about what needs to happen; just do it.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You don’t want to admit that you’re feeling hopelessly optimistic today because you think it will reveal too much vulnerability on your part. However, you probably do believe that better times are just around the next corner. Meanwhile, your personal life may suffer because you are focusing on the future instead of dealing with an issue in the present. Bringing your attention back to the here and now might be challenging at first, but will make you happier in the long run.

OH MY AGING FUNNY BONE…

Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, Sept. 13th

The Moon powers her way into courageous Aries at 2:49 am EDT, infusing us with a new wave of energy. Her conjunction with electrifying Uranus sparks lightning bolts of awareness, lighting up the darkness and revealing previously hidden secrets. The Moon’s square with transformative Pluto deepens our feelings and can create an emotional impasse. An irritating Venus-Neptune alignment early tomorrow morning confuses our dreams with reality.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Your emotions are running amok now that the Moon is hooking up with crazy Uranus in your sign. You want to experience the extreme intensity while somehow simultaneously acting cool. However, you can’t play it both ways, even if it seems like you must give up something when you choose one or the other. Logic only takes you so far today, but going beyond words and trusting your instincts could put you back on track.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You truly want a romantic relationship to work out today, even if you have to face an old issue that you prefer to avoid. You realize that you can’t hide your head in the sand any longer, even if you thought that you would be able to take the easy way out. Fortunately, handling your fears won’t be as tough as you thought. It’s much more difficult to pretend that everything is fine when it’s not.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You can sense a powerful shift in the cosmic weather today as the clouds of illusion are chased from your inner skies. You are ready to get to the bottom of something that has bothered you lately, but the answers you receive won’t likely be the ones you expect. Don’t be shocked by what you discover now. Even though persistence doesn’t come easily to you, it will pay off.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Something is motivating you to share more than you expected today, even if you know that you should say less. Unfortunately, once you open your mouth, closing it becomes much more difficult. It’s helpful to remind yourself throughout the day that you don’t have to tell your whole story all at once. Reacting slowly and deliberately will get you further than speaking too soon.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

It’s time to move past old hurtful memories so you can be open to the joy that’s recently found its way into your life. However, this doesn’t mean that you should just forget about your previous experiences. Setting aside your feelings is not a sensible strategy because you’ll only end up being irritated without an obvious reason. Ultimately, your willingness to be open-minded can lead to an exciting emotional breakthrough that can shake up your outlook on life and send you off in a new direction.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You might be trying to deepen a business or personal relationship now, but could run into a totally unexpected response from the other person. Even if you are open to surprises, it’s challenging when things don’t fit into a neat and tidy package. Fortunately, this won’t become a problem unless you make it one. You’re at the start of something new, so allow the energy to flow naturally rather than frustrating yourself by wishing the tides would follow your schedule.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

The Moon’s shift into your 7th House of Partnerships increases the stress in relationships, especially if other people seem overly pushy today. You may be tempted to withdraw to protect yourself emotionally, but this strategy only increases your sense of isolation. Instead of shutting out others now, try to understand their point of view. Once you can see things through someone else’s eyes, you can establish common ground, enabling everyone to feel better about the situation.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

The feisty Aries Moon dynamically squares your key planet Pluto today, stirring up raw emotions that can suddenly erupt. But you don’t want to escalate a conflict now; you simply prefer to get to the source of your anger so you can process your feelings and move on. Fortunately, you are motivated to do so once you realize that holding on to the past will only bring you unhappiness, even if there’s a bright future beckoning just ahead.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You are already anticipating good things just around the bend, but the future cannot arrive soon enough for you. You have plenty of responsibilities to fulfill today before you can head out to play, but you’re ready to leave them until later if something interesting comes up. Fortunately, you should be able to grab the fun and excitement in the present moment as long as you remember to finish your chores once you return.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may not be ready for the speed of change now as the Moon meets up with unpredictable Uranus. You have a choice to make that can affect your whole day. Either let the pressure get the best of you by fearfully worrying about something you can’t control or consciously turn your frown into a grin, knowing that change is on the way whether you want it or not. Don’t expect a miracle, but remember that your positive attitude and flexibility can turn a tough day into a positive one.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Although you may think that you have everything under control, something happens today that forces you to see the world differently. Instead of trying to keep up with your busy schedule, it may be more sensible to let it fall apart and then piece things back together once the chaos clears. It’s too late for preventive medicine now; just be ready for change and let the chips fall where they may.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may feel as if you’re being pushed into the future against your will. It’s not that you’re resistant to progress; it’s just that you have grown comfortable with the status quo and you’re not yet ready for it to slip into the past. Keep in mind that your fear of what’s coming next may be more problematic than the actual challenges you will face. Don’t worry about the unknown; there’s nothing you can do about the future until it arrives.

Daily Horoscopes for Monday, Sept. 12th

Today’s psychic Pisces Full Moon at 5:26 am EDT reactivates our intuition, reminding us that logic isn’t required now to reach an intelligent conclusion. But her opposition to the rational Virgo Sun brings us back to the importance of thought. We are capable of perceiving emotions but language is still necessary to communicate our experiences to anyone else. This conflict can be a catalyst for larger issues that will take much longer to resolve.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

The Pisces Full Moon brightens your 12th House of Divinity, but you aren’t ready to go on a vision quest. Instead, fight off your fleeting flights of fancy and head off to your job where you can put your great ideas to practical use. Remember, the more information you can keep track of at work, the better it will be for you now. Fortunately, if you apply yourself diligently, you’ll have time for more spiritual pursuits later.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Today’s imaginative Pisces Full Moon is in your 11th House of Friends, Hopes and Wishes, luring you into social situations that allow you to feel safe enough to express your private thoughts and tentative plans about your future. Surround yourself with your best friends so you don’t have to worry about the practicality of your dreams in order to share them.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your current obsession with success is reflected in your intense dreams about your career. But it’s difficult to be realistic when the otherworldly Pisces Full Moon shines in your professional 10th House. Nevertheless, if you want to make progress today, use your common sense to navigate your course instead of relying on your intuition to find your way.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

The watery Pisces Full Moon shimmers in your 9th House of Adventure, luring you to swim beyond your current boundaries. Rather than thinking of reasons why you shouldn’t take a risk, make this an exercise in writing your own ticket for a fantastic voyage. Just don’t plan too far ahead; even the most amazing journey begins with a few small, careful steps.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You might be struggling as you try to figure out the easiest way to attain the level of intimacy you so intensely desire in a relationship now. You’re able to feel the energy, but don’t necessarily have a workable strategy to put it all together. Skip the details; just get the big picture embedded in your brain today. You can return to your plans later in the week to fill in more specifics.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You may believe your logic is bulletproof and that you can talk your way through nearly any situation. However, if you encounter resistance today, don’t let on that you have all the facts because others might not be convinced. They are not interested in your careful analysis at this time; all they want to know is the bottom line.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

The Sun is hiding in your 12th House of Secrets, so you may want to share a long lost dream with someone special. If you can’t recall the details today, try sinking into your subconscious to recover them. Don’t expect a treasure map with directions to suddenly appear. The Full Moon is in your 6th House of Work, indicating that you’ll need to conduct a methodical search to find your truth.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You won’t need to go out of your way to make plans to have a good time as today’s imaginative Pisces Full Moon illuminates your 5th House of Fun and Games. Your positive attitude is so strong that you believe extra preparation won’t be necessary. Fortunately, this assumption works in your favor; you can make it up as you go. Just remember to watch the time or you could miss an important appointment later in the day.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You may receive some notoriety today with the hardworking Virgo Sun shining in your 10th House of Public Recognition. But the Full Moon is in your 4th House of Home and Family, so you might try to avoid the spotlight now. Unfortunately, you could regret your actions if you sidestep any well-deserved acknowledgment, so do whatever is necessary to overcome your uncharacteristic shyness so you can put on a show that others won’t forget.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You are very methodical as you develop a strategy for the months ahead. But the confusing Pisces Full Moon is in your noisy 3rd House of Immediate Environment, so you might not be effective today when attempting to put your plans into motion. Don’t promise more than you can deliver now, for whatever schedule you commit to will likely need modifying in a day or two when things quiet down.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may not be very careful with your money today, for the fuzzy Pisces Full Moon Pisces reflects the sunlight in your 2nd House of Personal Resources. You could be sloppy with your calculations or you might even start off with a wrong assumption. Naturally, it’s not wise to procrastinate if your finances need immediate attention. Focus on the necessary details and postpone the rest.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Today’s Full Moon falls in your compassionate sign, challenging you to be extremely clear as you establish necessary boundaries and limits. You might feel driven to rescue every wounded animal, plant or person you encounter now, yet this could derail your personal plans. Wanting to help anyone less fortunate than you is surely an admirable trait as long as you don’t take it too far.

New Moon Report for Sept. 12 – Full Moon in Pisces

Full Moon in Pisces

Monday, September 12, 2:27 am PDT, 5:27 am EDT

The sensitive and idealistic Pisces Full Moon’s opposition to the Sun in practical and particular Virgo is an encounter between feelings and facts. We may be emotionally overwhelmed by obligations or insecurities if the workload is too great or standards are ridiculously high. This lunation increases the potential for creative inspiration, spiritual breakthroughs and moments of awareness that allow us to leap over petty problems. A broader understanding of our higher purpose and acting with more compassion could make this a watershed event.

Fertility Spell

This spell uses symbolism in the use of the fig and egg, but also ancient methods of acknowledgement in the offering to the Earth Mother for fertility. Crops were often offered to the goddess in the hope of a good harvest and in this spell that hope is for new life. The spell is best done at the time of the New Moon or in spring time when the Goddess of Fertility is commemorated

Items you will need

  • YOU WILL NEED
  • Frankincense and sandalwood incense
  • White candle
  • A fig (fresh if possible)
  • A fresh egg
  • A clear glass bowl
  • A marker pen
  • Your boline
  • A trowel
  • Light your incense and the candle.
  • Put the egg on the left and the fig on the right, -the bowl in the middle.
  • Draw a symbol of your child on the egg.
  • Very carefully break the egg into the bowl and -place the empty shell on the left side again.
  • Make a small cut in the fig with your boline -and carefully scrape the seeds into the bowl.
  • Place the remains of the fig into the egg shell -to represent the physical baby within the-womb and again replace it on the left side.
  • With your finger, stir the contents of the bowl

clockwise three times and say: As these two become one May the Goddess and the God Bless our union with child

  • Leave the bowl in the middle and allow the -candle to burn out.
  • Take the bowl and the eggshell with its-contents to a place where you can safely bury -them.
  • (Your own garden is good if you have one

otherwise a quiet secluded spot.)

  • Place the eggshell in the ground and pour -over it the contents of the bowl.
  • As you cover it with earth say:

I offer to Mother Earth A symbol of fertility In love and gratitude for her bounty

  • Now await developments without anxiety.

This spell is full of symbolism. The fig represents not

only fertility, but also is thought to feed the psyche that part of us that some call the soul. The egg is an

ancient symbol of fertility and indeed of the

beginning of life. Bringing the two together

acknowledges your sense of responsibility for the

continuation of life

Attracting Extra Money

This is a representational spell since the money in your pocket is representative of a greater fortune. Use this only at the time of a New Moon and make sure you are in the open air. It is said that the spell is negated if the Moon is seen through glass.

Items you will need

  • YOU WILL NEED
  • Loose change

The Spell:

  • Gaze at the Moon.
  • Turn your money over in your pocket.
  • As you do so, repeat the following three times:

Goddess of Light and Love, I pray

Bring fortune unto me this day.

  • You will know that it has worked when you -find extra money in your pocket or your -purse or come across money unexpectedly.

In previous times the Moon was recognized as much-as the Sun as being the bringer of good luck. This-spell acknowledges that and allows you to make use-of her power. It is said to ensure that you have at-least enough for bed and board until the next New-Moon.

Weekend Lunar Love Horoscope for Sept. 9th – 11th

Weekend Love: Lunar Love

by Jeff Jawer

Enter a World of Dreams

September 9 – 11

Our minds are likely to push feelings into the background on Friday, favoring conceptual conversations and intellectual pursuits over sappy sentiment and unnecessary drama. The Moon is in cool-as-a-cucumber Aquarius where we don’t want to be emotionally crowded and require a certain amount of personal space. The Water Bearer is a friendly sign that appears open and accessible to almost everyone, yet has a strong independent streak as well. Cerebral Mercury’s entry into discerning Virgo very early on Friday is another indicator that heads rule over hearts now.

The theme is very different on Saturday, even while the Moon is still visiting air-conditioned Aquarius. A lunar conjunction with magical Neptune can melt away objectivity and entice us to enter a world of dreams. Escapes into fantasylands of imagination can inspire lovers or mislead them with misplaced expectations. The Moon enters soulful Pisces in the middle of day, dissolving the last edges of repressive reason as boundaries and barriers between people gently give way. A kind of cosmic connection becomes possible as agendas are set aside to discover moments of bliss that can arise without effort. Tread carefully; emotional openness may lead some into misinterpreting mere kindness as romantic interest.

Fortunately, astrology’s most amorous planetary pair, Venus and Mars, hook up in a sexy sextile on Saturday night, creating the perfect environment for a playful time. It’s easy to dance with the one you’re with or to approach someone new for a pleasant interaction without pressure. A gentle afterglow lingers with the Pisces Moon on Sunday to encourage more unconditional sharing. The lines between physical and spiritual attraction may be blurred, but living joyfully in the moment, without expectations, makes it safe to be uncertain.

New Moon Report for Sept. 8th – Mercury in Virgo

Mercury in Virgo

Thursday, September 8, 10:59 pm PDT, Friday, September 9, 1:59 am EDT

Mercury’s return to its earthy home sign is conducive for restarting activities that may have been stopped or delayed when the messenger planet turned retrograde in Virgo on August 2. Mastery of details and precise communication are assets that are useful for resolving knotty problems. Careful study and concentration will increase technical proficiency, which is especially valuable in this super-efficient sign.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Sept. 6th

The judgmental Capricorn Moon reminds us that we have serious choices and that it’s wise to take the time to evaluate our alternatives. Whatever we say or don’t say has consequences and we try to get ahead of the curve by calculating what will happen next. The powerful early morning Moon-Pluto conjunction intensifies our feelings, but still we lean toward taking risks today as courageous Mars forms a creative quintile with overconfident Jupiter.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You have good intentions, but you may have trouble keeping quiet today. You might even know that what you are about to say really should be left unspoken, but you could blurt it out anyway in a moment of excitement. Obviously, once your words are out in the open, you can’t take them back. Of course, honesty is the best policy, but remember to think before you speak and to always be kind in your delivery.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You can perceive things that you would ordinarily miss on other days, prompting you to be a bit more intense now than usual. You’re sure that your conclusions are right and could easily take it upon yourself to help others see the future just as you do. But there is danger in assuming that there is one single outcome and you already know what it is. Be smart and entertain all possibilities before fixing on only one.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You are spinning a lot of wheels in your head, but it’s probably wise to keep most of your thoughts to yourself today. Your ideas are likely quite good, but everyone will assume your thinking is scattered if you keep changing your plans, rather than just following through on your established agenda. Fortunately, you can still be more effective than anyone expects once you do make a final decision because you won’t let up until you reach your goal.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

If you get caught up in an emotional melodrama today, it would be wise to stand back from the situation in order to reassess your involvement. If you decide that it’s really not your business, withdrawing your energy is your safest move. However, if participating in this conflict is necessary, at least try to detach yourself from any specific outcome. For now, you will be more valuable if you use your head instead of your heart.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Today you may become irritated at someone or something that doesn’t usually bother you, yet you can’t quite put your finger on the source of your annoyance. Someone may bring up a subject that stirs a deep issue you have been trying to avoid. Now it’s time to face the music. Thankfully, your previous angst will begin to dissipate if you can get your feelings out in the open.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You might be disappointed in yourself if you fall short of someone’s unrealistic expectations. However, you won’t likely sit around long enough to take the heat for something that’s beyond your control. You are too results-oriented now to waste time in self-pity or self-doubt. Figure out what went wrong, make a better plan and try again before you lose motivation.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

It’s likely that you’ve already started to feel the emotional intensity waning; however, this doesn’t mean that your opinions will become any less extreme today. You could be unusually adamant about what you know to be true and might be uncharacteristically impatient with someone who attempts to change your mind. Fortunately, this is a chance to practice listening extra carefully to what others say without necessarily agreeing with any of their conclusions.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You may feel overwhelmed as Mars in your 9th House of Future Vision quintiles excessive Jupiter, making it easy for you to take on too much. Additionally, the Sun’s fateful septile to Mars indicates that something unexpected can happen that could ultimately require you to change your travel schedule. Thankfully, you’re able to clear the air by saying what’s on your mind. Others will hear your message if you are honest and don’t attempt to blame anyone else for your current predicament.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You can see through the excuses of those around you and your incisive observations could make them quite anxious today. Unfortunately, you could be correct in your assumptions yet still make matters worse by bringing up a touchy subject in an abrupt or inconsiderate manner. There’s no need to avoid an important discussion as long as you steer clear from any form of judgmental behavior. Your open-minded approach puts your associates at ease and also enables them to put aside their own self-righteousness.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may be the proverbial go-to person because you usually seem to know what’s going to happen. You might have a strong grip on reality now, which does increase your sense of authority. Don’t mistakenly assume that your vision is the only answer just because you can navigate your way into the future. Accepting that multiple solutions are possible will earn you even more credibility with your workmates in the long run.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You have your own objectives today, yet the Moon’s presence in your 12th House of Secrets suggests that you need to hide your plans from others. Perhaps you don’t want anyone to judge you before you put your new strategy in motion. Or maybe you just want to prove something, so you set out to do it alone. Keep in mind that collaborating with the right person can strengthen your plan and increase your effectiveness.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your workmates may be particularly critical of your performance, yet you can still learn from what they say today. Unfortunately, you might be closed off to their advice because of your own issues of self-esteem. However, you can see the intrinsic value of this new information once you acknowledge your insecurity. No competition is necessary because everyone can be a winner.

Your Daily Horoscopes for September 4th

We are now in between some very intense planetary aspects, giving us time to integrate recent experiences and consider the issues we must soon face. However, we should be cautious about sweeping unresolved issues under the rug, even if today’s expansive Sagittarius Moon brings a new wave of optimism. The Moon forms squares with the Sun and Venus in detail-oriented Virgo, reminding us of the consequences of only thinking about the big picture.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

The influence you have on others now is not limited to what they can see; opinions are being formed today by picking up on more subtle information, too. Placing too much emphasis on the performance may have you looking good but won’t necessarily convey the real substance of what you have to offer. Be smart and save your act for another day. For now, concentrate on working with the major changes that are slowly yet methodically unfolding around you.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

The Moon’s square to your key planet Venus can prompt you to declare your feelings right out loud today, even if this isn’t your normal style. However, you would be smart to think twice before doing anything that could upset the delicate balance between you and others. Your life is already more complicated than you like, so don’t add another layer of drama on top of everything else. For simplicity’s sake, keep your desires to yourself for now.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You might feel as if you’ve recently navigated your way successfully through a tricky situation. Now that you have demonstrated your skills as a negotiator by convincing someone to avoid direct confrontation, it’s your turn to take a stand for one of your beliefs. Although this may require methodical follow-through on your part, you could be pleasantly surprised with the outcome.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You want to move beyond your recently hurt feelings, but it’s not easy to let go of them if someone is being inconsiderate today. Still, it’s crucial to realize that you can’t control how people react to you, even if you’re tempted to manipulate their emotions. Instead of attempting to change anyone else, find a place of acceptance within yourself that can transform your fears into a positive expression of love.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You are ready to put your best foot forward today because the Moon in your expressive 5th House wants you to be noticed now by all those you love. Luckily, your charm can cut right through a stressful situation, leaving others to appreciate your presence. Unfortunately, you can try too hard. Knowing when to step out of the spotlight is just as important as having an entertaining act to perform. Once you’ve had your moment to shine, be gracious and let someone else be the center of attention for a while.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You’re stressed by today’s conflict between your desire for adventure and your need for perfection. You’re tempted to sacrifice quality in order to squeeze more activity into your day, but you may regret this kind of foolish behavior later on. Your friends and family might not even be aware of your current struggle unless you decide to make your feelings public. Keep in mind that your experience doesn’t depend on anyone else knowing about it.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You may be worried about an uncomfortable situation with a friend, but it’s hard to tell if it’s real or if you’re just making it all up. Interactive Mercury in your 11th House of Social Networking forms an otherworldly septile with realistic Saturn in your sign. While it’s true that someone could be trying to undermine your position today, it’s smarter to avoid the drama. Have fun, but keep working until you fulfill the promises you made.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You’re feeling a lot of pressure that seems to fall squarely on your shoulders now, but fortunately you know that your efforts are appreciated. The uplifting Sagittarius Moon in your 2nd House of Self-Esteem reminds you to look on the bright side of things, boosting your confidence. But don’t waste energy pretending that you are okay with things as they are if you’re not. Take time to process your feelings; ultimately, releasing them will bring you increased vitality.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

The Moon’s monthly visit to your sign raises your spirits and encourages you to share your positive outlook with those around you. Unfortunately, your overconfidence can carry you away today, allowing you to appear a bit foolish. It’s great to have such an optimistic attitude, but you could lose support from your closest friends unless you are also willing to acknowledge the more difficult aspects of life, too.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You are motivated by your desire to maintain your balance, but this can be tricky when the ground is constantly shifting beneath your feet. You can see many exciting possibilities ahead, but are also fearful that you could lose your sense of direction if you let yourself be distracted by pleasure. Thankfully, you have enough discipline to stay on track now as long as you remain true to yourself.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Although your friends are probably being straightforward today, there’s a good chance that you’ll still misinterpret what they say. Relationships are complicated by unexpressed feelings now, especially if others think that you won’t approve of their desires. If you want someone you love to share their secrets with you, you’ll need to create a safe space by demonstrating your willingness to be open-minded and non-judgmental.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Even if you don’t feel like doing your chores or fulfilling your duties, you’re still able to make it look like you’re having fun while doing your work. You are willing to turn your routine into a game, which alleviates boredom and can actually make your life more pleasurable. However, caution is advised, because there may be a price to pay for keeping your real feelings secret. It may be wiser to just be honest from the beginning because unexpressed negativity can often turn into resentment if it doesn’t have an outlet.

Daily Horoscopes for Sept. 2nd

Our desires are complicated by the power of today’s magnetic Scorpio Moon, and we may be fearful of expressing our needs if others don’t actively support our intensity. We feel driven to convince everyone that we’re right, no matter what the emotional cost happens to be now. However, our irrational worries are ameliorated by a happy Sun-Jupiter trine that rewards upbeat thinking, encourages generous behavior and spurs random acts of kindness.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may be caught up in a complex swirl of energy as you attempt to untangle your attachments. Although you might try to be impartial in your approach to relationships today, you could have a tough decision to make now that could ultimately change the trajectory of your life. Fortunately, your clear intentions help you spin the current circumstances in a way that’s beneficial to all involved.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You are quite determined to avoid an unpleasant confrontation today because you cannot see how it will lead to anything positive. It’s easier for you to sit on the fence now and wait for resolution than to get caught up in making something happen. But inaction will only work for so long. Ultimately, you’ll feel better after the various opinions have been aired, even if there’s no apparent common ground yet. There’s no need to force a group consensus; it will come naturally on its own.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your ruling planet Mercury the Communicator might appear to be no match while standing up to transformative Pluto today; but your thoughts will endure, even if your priorities change. Holding onto your vision helps you face a difficult opponent. You may feel that someone is out to defeat you, but if you’re smart enough to steer clear of open conflict now, you should be able to continue toward your destination without further interference.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You are challenged to show your feelings with Mars now back in your sign. Your life may seem overly intense now, and it feels like there’s too much going on, making it nearly impossible to know where to start. Although overcoming your hesitation is wise, don’t share everything at once. Choose your topics of discussion carefully; emphasizing those things you can be optimistic about should help you reach your goals.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You may be feeling a bit embarrassed today if you recently went out on a limb and said more than was necessary. However hopeful you are that others can step beyond their narrow-minded thinking to see the big picture, you still face an uphill battle. Attempts to demonstrate your intellectual superiority are bound to fail. Instead of making anyone else feel like a loser, figure out how everyone can win.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Although you realize the significance of your own core beliefs, it’s difficult when someone close to you has an entirely different set of assumptions. However, it’s a trap to engage in dialogue solely for the purpose of proving you are right. Once you acknowledge that intelligent people can hold opposing views, you will be free to work on self-improvement instead of wasting time trying to change another person’s mind.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Mercury’s current visit to playful Leo makes you more talkative and increases your mental activity, but you may need to fight for your right to speak your mind. Fortunately, your creative juices are flowing directly from the source now, making it easier to be proactive. Being considerate of other people’s feelings is admirable, but don’t allow your willingness to compromise stop you from doing what’s best for you.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

The Moon’s return to your suspicious sign can raise issues of jealousy or possessiveness in relationships. You may think that someone is working against you behind your back, but it may just be your fears stirring up these fantasies. Don’t succumb to the negativity today; the choice is truly yours. Choosing self-improvement over everything else should be enough to put a positive spin on the day.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your key planet Jupiter forms an optimistic trine with the illuminating Sun today, lifting your spirits and raising your hopes. Luckily, your cheerful attitude can positively impact your immediate future, but self-doubt could also surface and temporarily interfere with a good day. Connect with your friends because they will help take your mind off of your problems and remind you of what’s most important.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may lock horns with a friend and find yourself in a standoff today, especially if you feel threatened by your own insecurity. But other people’s clever ideas are no match for your unrelenting persistence and strong sense of purpose. Although someone may anger you now, don’t get distracted from your ambitious goals. Your current optimism, mixed with intense concentration, is an unbeatable combination.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You have the gift of clear vision and shouldn’t let anyone dismiss your dreams today. But things get tricky fast if someone questions your authority. Your energy could shift into a more aggressive mood if you attempt to defend yourself. Don’t bother trying to justify your position now. Just keep your eyes on the horizon and continue heading in that direction.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Although everything seems quite intense, you are able to stay slightly detached from your emotions today. Luckily, your optimistic perspective on relationships enables you to avoid an unnecessary conflict with someone who fundamentally disagrees with your position. Remember that you don’t have to be right; you have absolutely nothing to prove now. Instead of stirring up trouble with a loved one, concentrate on realizing your dreams.

Weekend Lunar Love Horoscopes for September 2 – 4

Weekend Love: Lunar Love

by Jeff Jawer

Romantic Adventures Await

September 2 – 4

The Moon’s presence in the emotionally intense water sign Scorpio on Friday is often associated with mystery, mistrust and magnetic passion. There’s a tendency to look for hidden motivations that can undermine confidence in others during this lunar transit. But the mood is more buoyant and hopeful than usual due to the Sun’s harmonious 120-degree trine to exuberant Jupiter. This expansive aspect encourages us to adopt optimistic attitudes and a willingness to take risks. Intimate moments don’t need to wait until after dark since there is the sizzling Scorpio Moon’s favorable alignment with loving Venus in the afternoon. Turning attraction into action is favored by a cozy lunar hook-up with sexy Mars at night, warming even the coldest of hearts.

On late Saturday afternoon the Moon’s shift into enthusiastic Sagittarius invites an even more adventurous mood, one that’s perfect for exploring unfamiliar territory. Attraction to new places and faces fulfills the desires of restless souls who feel stifled when sticking to old habits and predictable routines. The spiciness of foreign food, music and movies are especially appealing with a lunar aspect to unconventional Uranus.

Sunday’s mood is somewhat different as pragmatic Saturn enters the picture in the early evening, bringing safety, security, and serious matters into focus. Putting our feet back on the ground and restoring a sense of order is more appealing than playing the field now. Mild comments, though, can feel like stinging criticisms on Sunday night as the Moon forms a stressful square with vulnerable Venus. Blunt talk should be avoided completely for now; use gentler and more indirect forms of self-expression, instead.
