Your Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, October 2

We may want to withdraw socially as we continue to recover from the excitement of the past few weeks. Instead of searching for brilliant yet impractical ideas, the steadfast Taurus Moon encourages a pragmatic approach to life. It makes sense to keep things simple while paying attention to whatever’s on our plates. Fortunately, peaceful Venus forms a cooperative sextile with stabilizing Saturn, reminding us that good things come to those who wait.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may be offered a chance to cool off and take it easy today. The problem is that even if you do create a mini-vacation for yourself, unexpressed emotions can build in intensity until you have to do something about them. Go ahead and share what’s on your mind with a close friend or co-worker, but watch the tone of your delivery. There’s no need to stir up petty disputes or blame anyone else for your feelings.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Take time to recharge your emotional batteries today. Although work duties may call, make space for a bit of relaxation, too. Don’t fall into the trap of thinking that you have to stay productive all day. Even if there is potential trouble nearby, there’s no need to make it worse now by throwing fuel on the fire. Instead, remain cool and collected; finding pleasure in simple things rejuvenates your soul.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Usually, communicating comes naturally to you, but something seems different now. You aren’t motivated to say much today as you maintain your point of view. You might not even share anything at all, since you could believe that it’s not yet important for others to know where you stand. Nevertheless, it is crucial to trust your inner voice today, even if it still takes a while for things to change.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You might be inclined to draw a line in the sand today. If someone rubs you the wrong way, he or she may get a lot more than bargained for because you will fight back to defend what is rightfully yours. However, your real strength comes from your tenacity. You can hold on longer than anyone else, so remember that time really is on your side.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You might be feeling a sense of urgency now, as if you could lose your chance if you don’t make something happen today. Your concerns reflect an element of reality since romantic Venus leaves your sign tomorrow. However, it’s more likely that your current situation just hasn’t yet reached fruition. Taking impulsive action may not be your smartest move. Do your best to smooth over any ruffled feathers and wait for the right opportunity to ripen.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You may not be very inspired today; in fact, you might feel downright lazy. Nevertheless, it’s crucial to keep up with your basic routine because falling behind could make the rest of the week more difficult. On the other hand, it’s not necessary to drive yourself harder than required. Do what you must, but reserve your energy while you can.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

An emotional issue may stubbornly work its way to the surface today as the Moon visits your 8th House of Deep Sharing. Even if you’re not comfortable talking about your feelings, making an effort to communicate is a worthwhile endeavor. However, someone’s expectations might not be reasonable now, adding to the tension. Remember you cannot please everyone, and you’ll only make yourself unhappy if you try. Those who are your true friends will remain so, even if you cannot give them what they want at this time.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your closest friends mean a lot to you, but the obstinate Taurus Moon makes it difficult to accept the differences of opinions between you and someone who is trying to help. Even if you disagree with others now, remember that the real argument is not with them, but with an aspect of yourself. Once you accept your own irresolvable paradox, the external ones become more manageable.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

It’s tough letting go of the details today, even though this isn’t usually a problem for you. Don’t be overly hard on yourself about this penchant for the minutiae now because you don’t normally allow little things to get in your way. Cut yourself some slack and take the time you need to get everything in order so you’ll be free to tackle a bigger project with enthusiasm.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You might feel as if your closest friend or partner isn’t giving you the support you need now, yet you’re cautiously optimistic, anyhow. You may be self-protective as you distance yourself from others to take care of business. Thankfully, you’re able to make decisions that will be right for you in the long run as long as you keep your priorities straight and concentrate on the most immediate tasks.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

The cosmic energies are shifting again, reminding you to take action if you’re dissatisfied with your most significant relationships. However, you might not have to say anything at this time. Real transformations occur within you as your desire for direct confrontation fades. You don’t need to force any issues today. The river of change is flowing right on schedule.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your level of comfort might be surprisingly high today, even if stress fades in and out all day. Although you probably have work-related obligations, it’s still wise to set aside some time for yourself. Relationships may get confusing in the days ahead, requiring more time to straighten things out. Conserve your energy now so it’s available later in the week when you need it.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Monday, September 17

We can tell that something big is on the horizon, but we may not know exactly what it is yet. Thankfully, the socially astute Libra Moon reminds us that we aren’t alone; open communication is vital in these days of uncertainty. But it’s difficult to discern the truth today as quicksilver Mercury forms a slippery quincunx with confusing Neptune. Imagination rules; nevertheless, we still must be careful or self-deception could lead us astray.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

There are times when you know specifically what you want and you go directly for it. However, your actions are muddled by Neptune’s fuzziness today. You may think that you’re saying what you mean, but when the words come out jumbled your meaning is lost. Instead of approaching conversations with a fixed agenda, opening your mind to a new perspective helps you get through the days ahead.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Family dynamics can be a bit confusing, making it difficult for you to get everyone on the same page. You may feel strongly about what you want today, yet others seem to misunderstand your intent and therefore might stand in your way. Unfortunately, knowing what will satisfy you won’t be enough now. Let go of your expectations and soften your stance; you might be pleasantly surprised by what happens when you are not trying to control everything in sight.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Although you might be very certain about what you want, this doesn’t mean that you will actually ask for it with any sense of clarity. If you’re writing an email, there may not be a lot of resemblance to your original intent by the time you’re done with it. Even if you state your case succinctly in person, you still could be misunderstood. Your best bet now is to stick with the simplest and most direct message. Leave the flowery language and excess verbiage for another day.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

This isn’t the best day to make practical plans because your fantasies might seem as if they are real. You may think that you’re being objective, but it’s all too easy now to project your desires onto the blank canvas of the future. There’s nothing wrong with having big dreams as long as you wake up and put your feet back on the ground before setting off in the real world. Let your imagination wander today; reality will be waiting for you tomorrow.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You may have your day mapped out in great detail, only to discover that you underestimated the amount of time it would take to finish your chores or to clean up from a recent project. Once your schedule falls behind today, it’s nearly impossible to get it back on track. Instead of frustrating yourself by trying to stick to an arbitrary timetable now, let your day unfold organically. The real limitations you currently face may be more self-imposed than you think.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

This isn’t the best day to work on your finances because it might be nearly impossible to make all the numbers add up correctly. It may be smarter to set aside the most exacting mental work for another day. Instead, use the magic available to you now to manifest your dreams in a more imaginative manner, like creating a special moment with a lover or a friend. You can always return to your accounting tomorrow when your ability to concentrate is back to normal.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You have an overabundance of charm today that could be used to get whatever you want. However, you must be careful because it is easy to mislead someone unintentionally. Pay particular attention to any feelings of attraction or unspoken desires, since emotions can cloud even the clearest of situations. Be objective; engaging in honest discussions gives you more clarity on the complexities of your heart.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Normally, you’re able to manage the details of your day and concentrate on the tasks at hand. However, it’s not so easy to remain focused today. Save the sharp thinking and in-depth analysis for tomorrow. Instead, give yourself permission to escape for a bit. Even if it’s a workday, find a little time to recharge your imagination by listening to music, reading a book or looking at pictures. You can get down to work once you have had some time to dream.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You want to be amongst your friends and supporters today, so set aside your responsibilities for a while and do something fun. However, keep in mind that you still have obligations to honor so pay attention to your limits. Don’t overdo food or alcohol now, even if it is in the name of celebration. You’ll be happier in the long run if you’re able to successfully balance work and play.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

It’s crucial to acknowledge that you might not see a situation today as clearly as you think. Reality is being filtered through a blurry lens, but this doesn’t mean that your perspective is incorrect. The issues aren’t about right versus wrong. Honoring your dreams is what’s most important now, whether or not they are practical. Conscious exploration of your fantasies can actually lead you in the direction of fulfillment as long as you remain unattached to the outcome.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

It’s your biggest ideas that can bring you the most complications now. It might seem as if your needs aren’t worth the trouble, but don’t dismiss your desires prior to giving them a fair chance. Since you’re already under the spell of your irrational emotions today, go ahead and sketch out your perfect future in your imagination. Oddly enough, you can be quite happy by holding on to your vision until it becomes real.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

This can be a confusing day because you may have trouble controlling your desires and they could pull you off course. Don’t fret, for you can blaze a new trail wherever you decide to travel. Take time to explore territory that’s off the beaten path while allowing the hard edges of reality to mellow. And most importantly, don’t try to put a value on your experiences now; just bask in the joy of living life to the fullest.

Your Late Daily Horoscopes for Sunday, Sept. 16

It’s difficult to know our limits today because enthusiasm overrides common sense as energetic Mars forms an unsettling quincunx to buoyant Jupiter. Following our instincts enables us to accomplish extraordinary things, yet blind optimism can lead us into unstable territory. Meanwhile, the Moon’s shift into objective Libra at 8:55 am EDT, followed by rational Mercury this evening, helps to balance our emotions with clear thinking.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Although you want to shout your plans from a mountaintop today, everyone seems too distracted to hear you. Their lack of interest may be annoying and can even make you angry enough to prompt unnecessary risks as warrior Mars aligns with bombastic Jupiter. However, your hot temper could interfere with an otherwise workable solution. You are better off remaining silent until your feelings settle down. Channeling your enthusiasm into direct action is your best strategy for now.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Confronting an overly intense situation head-on today sounds like a smart idea, but you could make matters worse by coming on too strong. Although it’s wise to turn down your volume, it’s not helpful to just let the issue slide. However, if you’re overbearing in your approach you might complicate things by projecting your anger onto the current situation. Instead, be gentle but firm as you share your concerns. A little diplomacy goes a long way.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You may be feeling insecure about your job today, prompting you to overcompensate and try to take on too much extra work. Displaying your competence is a wise strategy as long as you don’t overdo it. However, putting on a show without substance won’t solve anything because others will see through your facade. Even if you try to hide your worries, you still have to face the music in your own head. Performing to the best of your abilities is the simplest solution now.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You may have to perform in the spotlight today even if you prefer working behind the scenes. You would like a chance to express your deeper feelings, but in a more private setting. The problem is that you don’t want to bury your emotions by putting a positive spin on everything. Thankfully, you don’t have to deceive anyone if you are working for a higher cause. Instead of wasting energy trying to hide now, imagine what can happen when you shine your truth for all to see.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You’re really busy, but it doesn’t seem as if you’re getting much accomplished today. Your frustration could provoke risky behavior as you attempt to plow through the resistance that seems to be preventing your progress. But impulsive actions won’t be rewarded now; it’s better to keep your rebellious attitude under wraps and adopt a steadier pace for the next couple of days. Find a healthy physical outlet to work off any extra stress.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You could push yourself too hard today as you attempt to reach a lofty goal. But finishing what you start may be less important than doing your best, even if it feels as if you’re running in circles. It’s crucial to stay on course; veering off track might be rather confusing because the closer you get to the finish line, the farther away it seems. Relax; you have more time than you think.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Relationships seem too intense for you today, especially if you get into a serious disagreement with someone. Your nerves are on edge now and you may quickly grow annoyed by comments that you would normally just let pass by. There’s no need to struggle, even if you get hooked by your own drama. Don’t exhaust yourself by overextending your energy worrying about things you can’t control. Spending time on your own gives you a chance to gather your thoughts and listen to your heart.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You are ready to begin a new project as optimistic Jupiter aligns with enterprising Mars in your sign. However, you may not be able to convert your intentions into direct action as quickly as you wish. Unfortunately, your chances for success will diminish if you try too hard at this time. You might be better off retreating now in order to make your final preparations. Even if your imagination is racing ahead, taking a more methodical approach is your best bet.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You might feel as if you are driving through a minefield as action-hero Mars energizes your key planet Jupiter. You want to slow down but Mars revs up your engine and takes you for a wild ride. You may realize that you’re moving too fast and talking too loudly with no solutions in sight. In order to make the journey successfully, you must figure out how to decrease your speed and tone down your rhetoric. Apply the brakes gently and listen to the advice of someone you trust.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

It’s a challenge to stick with your regular routines these days as adventurous Jupiter moves through your 6th House of Habits. However, once you are sure that your recent changes are really improvements, be ready to explore new territory. Don’t try to spin your wheels too fast because you are already doing better than you realize. Fortunately, your cool competence enables your talents to shine wherever you choose to go next.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

It’s a very busy day as action-hero Mars aligns with your key planet Uranus. Career-related pressures are already motivating you to think about next week. But you also crave the sense of adventure that comes from going on a long trip, engaging in a course of study or committing to a spiritual practice. You may reach a point today where you think you’re ready to jump over the edge. Instead of visualizing your future, get busy and make it happen.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You have been in a long-term planning mode for a while — more concerned with next year than with tomorrow. Fortunately, you have the determination to succeed even if there’s a long way to go to reach your goals. Nevertheless, a sense of urgency may overtake everything else now, requiring you to deal with an immediate crisis. It’s time for you to swim in the pond of the present moment. Trust your intuition to lead you in the right direction.

Daily Horoscopes for September 13

We are excited about recent developments in our lives and may also be rather upbeat about what’s ahead of us. Last night’s electric Venus-Uranus trine could still produce a pleasant surprise. The expressive Leo Moon encourages us to speak our minds and share what we’re feeling. Nevertheless, the Moon runs into anxious aspects this afternoon, testing our ability to maintain a positive attitude that focuses on solutions rather than problems.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Although you have a variety of chores to finish today, don’t forget to make time for guilt-free fun. You are amongst the ones who are most often ready to join in the festivities, given an invitation. The problem now is that you aren’t sure how much individuality you must sacrifice to participate in the social activities. The only way to find out is to take a leap of faith and jump in without knowing the outcome.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Even if you have to go to work today, it still feels like a stay-at-home day. Consider yourself lucky if you are among those who work where you live, since you might not want to go anywhere at all. However, if you must head out into the wide world, take a piece of your home along with you in the form of a daydream. Holding on to this visualization all day brings you a sense of comfort that you cannot get from anyone else.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You are buzzing now as you ride the energy of today’s lively Leo Moon. However, your early warning system is already picking up on a mosquito-like annoyance of the changes that are just around the corner. You know a major storm is on its way, and there is an undercurrent of excitement to the anticipation. Nevertheless, you’re ready for action. Don’t make your move too soon; your efficiency will improve if you can wait until tomorrow.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

A creative approach to finances can improve your situation now. You may suddenly figure out a way around an obstacle that has been preventing you from buying something you had your heart set on. Don’t worry if you haven’t thought your plan through carefully because you don’t need to iron out every detail today. Investing in something of value is a good idea as long as you’re not trying to fool yourself into thinking that it’s something you really need.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Others may be reading your feelings now as if you are wearing them on your sleeve. You aren’t necessarily one to tuck away your heart in a deep dark corner, but now that the moody Moon is in your sign, it’s as if your emotions are being broadcast on the midday news. Don’t withdraw from interacting with others since the give-and-take can help you clarify what you really want.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You aren’t saying everything that you’re thinking today, but you have your reasons. Someone may assume that you’re telling all, but there is a danger in jumping to conclusions. Still, it’s smarter now to hold the conflict within yourself than to lay it out into the open where others need to deal with your unresolved feelings. You can always share more once the intensity begins to subside.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You may feel as if everything is going to change today, but you cannot yet fill in the details of what’s ahead. You’re approaching the end of something, but you don’t yet know what it is. Tie up as many loose ends as possible because there’s just one week left of summer. Lightening your load now enables you to be ready for whatever begins to unfold around the next corner.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You are facing a dilemma as you try to resolve the conflict between your head and your heart. Logically, you already know what to do and are ready to play your hand accordingly, but emotionally you’re feeling uncertain. You know that this isn’t the right time to turn everything upside down just because you are unsure of which path to follow. Patience is your friend now; fortunately, you have more time than you think.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You must be your own boss today since you may not be able to convince others to follow your lead. On one hand, this is fine because you are at the top of your production game. Unfortunately, you could go off on some half-cocked crazy idea and ultimately get the go-ahead, even if your idea is without merit. Do the responsible thing; stop yourself before you do something that you will soon regret.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You aren’t content to hang out in shallow waters today; you long for the deeper places, where the search for meaning can overshadow reality, itself. These are not simple times; past hurts and pains — emotional and physical — might come back to haunt you. But, there is a blessing in the current process of discovery. If you’re willing to do the work and face the issues, healing can occur on many levels to change your life for the better.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Everything you say and do today creates an immediate reaction. And the fallout from following your intuition isn’t always what you expect. You must deal with things as they happen, even if it takes time and energy from other activities. Resistance is futile; as annoyed as you might be by the unfolding situation, there may not be much you can do to change its course. Fortunately, everything seems to get easier once you loosen the reins of control.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may go overboard today trying to make up for someone else’s shortcomings. Even if you’re committed to the group effort, there’s still a part of you that wants to be recognized for your special contribution to the project. Don’t be overly concerned if others are receiving all the credit now. The tide will turn and you’ll emerge a hero if you continue to do your job well.

Your Daily Horoscopes for September 12

We cannot contain our intense desires today, yet expressing our feelings can lead to relationship complications. The dramatic Leo Moon hooks up with romantic Venus in heartfelt Leo, encouraging us to ask for what we want. But we meet resistance and might get caught up in a power struggle because Venus anxiously aligns with domineering Pluto. However, a late night Venus-Uranus trine enables us to share sparks with someone we love.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Both ends of the spectrum are energized simultaneously today. You have a yearning for freedom and are drawn toward anything that will fire up your adrenaline. Your nerves are on edge and you don’t want to stand still. However, you’re also hypersensitive now and can’t help but worry about offending those you love. Go ahead and take a walk on the wild side. You can get away with more than you think.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

It seems like your actions are caught between doing something your way and doing them by the book. You are perfectly willing to move cautiously now. You may commit to some of the rules, yet you also have the freedom to make your own decisions. Be careful how you use this energy since you could end up being the very authority figure that you want to rebel against.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You are attracted to the edge of your comfort zone today, but the buzz may not be satisfying unless you go over the point of no return. You want to feel the powerful jolt, but you aren’t interested in causing any harm. However, you don’t really care if your behavior shocks anyone else as long as it feels good to you. Nevertheless, everything you do has consequences, so remember that you’re not acting in a vacuum.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You might feel cozy and safe within your protective shell, but the circumstances of your life won’t just leave you alone now. You can’t escape by hiding behind a rock or crawling deep into your dark cave. Although all the excess energy makes you nervous, the lightning is flashing and the show is too exciting to miss. Live in the present moment; you can always retreat and rest later on.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

The emotional stress can be pretty intense today. Although the energy will settle down in a few days, it’s crucial that you don’t burn yourself out in the meantime, since there’s a lot of high-strung excitement around you. Oddly, your confidence level is high; you know that you’ll enjoy the buzz. Make time to rest so you are good for the long haul and not just a one-time performance.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Today’s energy pulls you in two different directions. On one hand you feel very responsible and want to be taken seriously. On the other hand, you are itching to break out of your everyday routine, no matter what others might think. The good news is that you can follow a middle path that honors the best of both worlds — and this, in turn, should make you feel pretty good about yourself.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You’re on a cosmic roll today as your key planet Venus slides into sweet harmony with outrageous Uranus. The weird and wild won’t seem so far out now. You may enjoy sensations that are new and different from your regular experiences. You’re willing to play the game in order to get what you most desire. Enjoy the excitement before it dissolves into the past.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your feisty behavior can bring some problems to the surface very quickly today. Circumstances may require you to work hard now, yet you want to do things your own way. Unfortunately, you might find that your intentions are being blocked. Be cautious; don’t internalize your frustration. The solution is to take pride in your work, even if you believe that you have a better way to do it.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Managing your excesses today enables you to fly high and enjoy the fruits of your labor. Others may come to you with ideas that are even crazier than yours. The intrigue builds until you actually are thinking that your plan is quite sane. However, things might not flow exactly as you expect. Thankfully, your strategy can succeed and may even turn out to be fun.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You need to go easy on others today. You can experience a bit of a metaphysical earthquake as something rattles your brain. If the surprise comes from someone close to you, don’t lash out at her or him. Remember, the messenger just brings the news. Don’t judge yourself too harshly either. Roll with the punches the best you can. If you let go of your expectations, you might be surprised by how much you enjoy the unexpected turn of events.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You are on a rocket ship ride today, and anyone coming into contact with you now can tell that this is not just another day for you. You’re feeling good about what you do that is different from what everyone else does. But it’s not just about what makes you unique. Whatever you do at this time contributes to a bigger plan, and it’s gratifying to be a part of something that you are helping to create.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You’re ready to try something new and different today as beautiful Venus harmonizes with unconventional Uranus in your 2nd House of Values. However, you might be distracted by the high-frequency hum of your desires. The nets of your dreams can pull in big fish now, so don’t waste your idealism on fantasies of personal gain. Focus on expressing your creativity now and long-term stability will follow later.

Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, September 11

We might choose security today over taking risks as the nurturing Cancer Moon tempts us to hide behind the safety of an emotionally protective wall. Thankfully, we might not feel as if we’re being constrained as indulgent Venus, the planet of desire, forms an otherworldly alignment with surreal Neptune. Weaving intricate fantasies helps us escape until we’re ready to re-engage reality when the Moon enters extroverted Leo at 11:01 pm EDT.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You have stepped into a parallel universe and memories of your dreams could be quite intense at this time. However, there’s no need to think that your fantasies will come true just because your recollections are so vivid. It’s always wise to give thought to anything that flows from your imagination. Working extra hard to actualize your potential is still your smartest move no matter how captivating your imagination may be now.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Your key planet Venus receives an otherworldly kiss from ethereal Neptune today, lifting your desires from the physical world into the spiritual realm. Acknowledging your dreams is the logical next step to making your wishes come true. Metaphysical teachings remind you to focus your attention on what you want, but then you still must let go of your attachments and simply trust in the power of the universe.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You’re ready to share your worries with someone today, but you could inadvertently shift the blame on to the other person, creating a misunderstanding in the process. Unfortunately, you’re not feeling very motivated to work on your own issues now and may end up projecting your fears. Instead of being judgmental, consider taking some time off for contemplation before you get down to the serious business of personal disclosure.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You want to be as objective as possible today when telling a trustworthy friend about a problem at home. Your companion will probably be eager to listen to whatever you need to share, but he or she might not be able to offer you the advice you seek. Instead of expecting more from everyone else now, find what you need from within.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Your love life may sparkle and shine today as beautiful Venus lures you into rich fantasies. Her connection to surreal Neptune replaces the reality of your relationships with whatever is in your imagination. Although an idealistic dream could bring a smile to your face, your view of the world is colored by your desires now. Be careful about assuming that things are as you see them. Enjoy the reverie while it lasts; just remember that this is food for inspiration and not the absolute truth.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You could experience a sudden meltdown today and then recover just as quickly. Obviously, your daily life isn’t unfolding as you expected. Your logic can only take you so far now, so set rational language aside for a while. Thankfully, your emotional involvement won’t lead you into dangerous territory. Instead, sharing your feelings soothes your nerves, turning this into a time to connect with others.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You are very sensitive now that the Moon is in empathic Cancer, tempting you to play a role as the artist or poet. Pull out your craft supplies or musical instruments and get busy. But this is more than just a reminder to create or perform; it’s also about contacting your subconscious through your meditations and dreams. Anything that keeps you in touch with your spirit guides will ultimately bring you closer to your desired destination.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You have a lot going on within your head today, yet you’re not so quick to share your fantasies with others. You can be very clever at avoiding a discussion about anything you want to keep to yourself. But don’t worry if some information leaks out because you will be able to handle the consequences in your own special way. Your charm is irresistible now so use it wisely.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

It’s tough to find a place of balance that moves you past feelings of jealousy today. Naturally, you want to talk about what’s going on, but once you open your mouth, you could say too much. If someone seems to be pushing your buttons, you might become so reactive that you forget what you initially had to say. Spending some time alone now will give you the chance to gain objectivity on the situation.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You might not feel very comfortable today if you are confronted with facts that can’t be rewoven into a coherent story. You could have so much information at your disposal now that you aren’t sure how to best integrate it. Even if you try, you still won’t be able to make your point. Just do the best you can while also respecting everyone else’s right to do the same.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Don’t spend too much time trying to turn an assumption of yours into a political debate since it’s futile to defend your position with opinions rather than facts. Your smartest strategy now is to have all your research in neat and tidy packages so you can find it quickly when needed. Nevertheless, it may be necessary to change your mind once you consider the alternatives.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may express your heart’s desire today in a manner that isn’t exactly light and breezy. This is not the kind of day when you can forget about the complicated ramifications of passion, jealousy and control. However, there’s no need to worry about how others will respond to your feelings. Just make sure to be honest and kind when talking to those you love.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Sunday, September 9

We have a lot on our minds today, yet we’re able to prioritize what needs to be done as the airy Gemini Moon is grounded by an easy trine to stabilizing Saturn. However, practical logic is replaced by emotionally charged dreams as the evocative Moon slips into watery Cancer at 12:49 pm EDT. We may feel uncomfortable expressing ourselves later in the day, making us long for the quiet of spiritual retreat as the Moon trines elusive Neptune.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You might be impressed by your own cleverness today, but others may not be so amused with your quick repartee. Although you can often express your thoughts in the moment, you may choose to keep more to yourself as the day wears on. Nevertheless, you don’t need to withdraw completely in order to create the space you need. All you have to do is be discerning when making decisions about your schedule throughout the day.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You really want to be around people now, but, paradoxically, you may not want to let them into your heart. Your emotions can grow so strong today that you feel the need to protect yourself against being too vulnerable. Hiding behind a lot of clever words or confusing actions can keep others guessing about your real intentions. Conserve your energy; there’s no need to engage in any diversionary activities. Initiating an honest dialogue is more useful than playing games.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

The Moon’s current visit to your 2nd House of Values encourages you to do whatever makes you feel good about yourself. It’s time now to build upon what you have recently started. Increasing your self-esteem should be a top priority; if you are not in alignment with your inner self, you won’t be able to be as productive as you wish.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Withdrawing from the outer world might be your perfect fantasy this morning with the Moon still hanging out in your 12th House of Privacy. However, you don’t really want to be alone. The Moon’s midday shift into your sign increases your desire to share your feelings with someone you trust. Nevertheless, conversations may not go as expected. You could end up going in a completely different direction than you originally planned. Keep your eyes open for the surprises ahead.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

If you are hurt by someone’s inconsiderate actions, you may sink into sulking about it today instead of getting it off your chest. But holding in your emotions can also be the beginning of an important process. You could learn a lot about yourself as you compare what you have to what you want. Nothing is gained by being hard on yourself for not speaking your truth now. Have faith that you will say what’s on your mind when the time is right.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You receive quite a bit of assistance from your friends today, but you must be open to learning something you didn’t already know. Help may arrive in an unusual manner and could catch you off guard. You won’t get as far now if you only rely on your analytical abilities. Let your imagination roam and then respond accordingly once you have had a chance to develop a more concrete plan.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You are in a very serious frame of mind today as you try to bring every new idea to fruition in a practical way. Unfortunately, staying grounded becomes more difficult as the day progresses. Even if you start out knowing exactly what you want, so many alternatives appear that you might not be able to choose which path to follow. Instead of announcing your final decision too soon, remember that being cautious in communication works in your favor now.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You may spend much of the day lost in your dreams as you conjure up a perfect vacation retreat. But you might struggle to concentrate on the mundane tasks before you. The more you try to focus, the more your mind wanders. Allow yourself the luxury of doing both. There are no limits to your imagination now. Whatever you dream can manifest if you remember to live up to your responsibilities in the real world, too.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You may be a bit uncomfortable today as your feelings are drawn into a deep and magical place. You prefer doing your work in the real world, but the current attractions are in the emotional and metaphysical realms. Don’t fight against taking this contemplative path, for it can enrich your life if you just let go and follow the changing currents.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

The sensitive Cancer Moon is now visiting your 7th House of Partnerships, inviting you to take a highly emotional journey. However, you might find yourself dealing with others who are uncharacteristically worried about you. You could fall into a trap of believing that feelings are obstacles to finishing whatever work needs to be accomplished. This is faulty reasoning; push through your resistance and accept what others share with you at face value.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You do not feel any sort of restraint at home today, even if you have to start the day by facing unfinished chores. Thankfully, once you have met your obligations, you’re free to explore a more artistic side of your character. The weirdest thoughts and desires become the fuel for your creative process. But don’t intellectualize what’s happening; just jump in and experience it.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Trusting your instincts can add more stability to your life and deepen your connection with the future. You are following your hunches by intuitively feeling your way down the road, without relying on too many facts and figures. Even if you want to keep your inspirational visions to yourself today, at least make sure to record them for future reference.

Daily Horoscopes for Saturday, September 8

Our tendency to stretch the truth too far today can land us in hot water. The changeable Gemini Moon joins up with expansive Jupiter to increase our restlessness. Additionally, interactive Mercury forms a creative square to philosophical Jupiter, encouraging self-righteous behavior. However, problems can surface as we flip between self-doubt and overconfidence. If our integrity is questioned, our belief systems may clash with the status quo.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

If you have already gone too far, it might be time to pull back. Unfortunately, any form of retreat won’t be likely today as your plans become even larger in scale. Keep in mind that details count as much as the big picture. If you choose to avoid what’s important now, you may have to pay for your poor judgment sooner than you think.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You might not get as excited as everyone around you, but you can sustain your enthusiasm for extended periods of time. It takes you a while to warm up your energy, and now it could take even longer to settle it back down. However, the optimism that rises to the surface must be grounded in reality. Make the most of your positive attitude today by inviting participation from others.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your key planet Mercury is activated by buoyant Jupiter in your sign today, encouraging you to believe that your thoughts are much more significant than they actually are. It’s not that what you say is irrelevant; it’s just that you’re more effective if you integrate everything you know into your plans. Don’t set aside data just because it doesn’t justify your ideas. The danger isn’t about what you are thinking. Instead, it stems from what you are avoiding.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You may have an opportunity for a spiritual opening today. On the other hand, you might just enjoy a special camaraderie with your friends. Good fortune is possible in either case, yet there is a warning that comes along with the day. Even if you know that you are right, the negotiation process is more important than getting what you want. It’s better to create an outcome where everyone makes progress than it is to be the exclusive winner. No one needs to finish in second place.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Opportunistic Jupiter dynamically squares Mercury in your 2nd House of Values today, encouraging you to communicate your point of view in a big way. You may believe that your perspective is worth more than anyone else’s, but arrogance can quickly turn others against you. Don’t pretend that you’re listening while shutting someone out. Instead, pay close attention to what everyone is saying, for adapting to new information now could make the difference between failure and success.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your key planet, communicator Mercury, often assists you in separating useful data from irrelevant information. However, stress from overpowering Jupiter now can negatively influence your normal orientation toward details. If you’re distracted today, your thinking might grow sloppy, especially when you concentrate on the generalities rather than the particulars. Keep your feet on the ground and use your common sense.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You might surprise yourself as you make decisions based upon what feels like crystal-clear vision. In fact, you’re anything but wishy-washy now. You really can take in the whole picture better than usual, but it’s crucial to overcome the biggest potential pitfall of the day. Be certain that you have all the facts at hand and not only those that support your decision.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your ability to reach your goals is directly affected by the power of positive thinking, so pay careful attention to where your thoughts take you now. It’s not that you manifest everything you visualize, but it just might feel that way. Remember, this false sense of confidence is a trap. Your plans could quickly fall apart if you overextend yourself. On the other hand, if you don’t reach a little farther than usual, no progress can be made. An extra push will be rewarded as long as you don’t go too far.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your key planet Jupiter goads you onward as other people distract you from your chores. Jupiter’s square to talkative Mercury prompts you to talk your way through some pretty slippery territory. But Mercury can be like a coyote when he’s in his trickster mode of expression; be careful, for things are not as they appear. Don’t overinflate the balloon or it will surely pop.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You have an opportunity to overcome even the toughest of challenges now by being completely objective about your problems. If your foundation is based upon solid thinking, you will be able to build an empire. But if you don’t pay attention to all the details, then your world might just fall apart at the seams. Integrity of data is crucial. Speak the truth and you should be able to convince others to join you in your quest.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Someone you like might present an idea to you today that seems too good to be true. Before you become involved, make sure to discuss all aspects of the plan. If you don’t explore every possibility, you could discover that you overlooked something obvious in your haste to be a part of something big. Don’t be a fool and rush in without proper analysis. Waiting may be the smartest thing you can do now.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

It seems as if the sky is clearing today, revealing fair weather ahead. Unfortunately, the sailing may not remain as smooth as you wish. Nevertheless, you can make everything perfect within your imagination, even if your fantasy has little to do with what’s real. However, it might be best to stick to your daily routines as much as possible. If you don’t slip off the edge of reality you will be able to capitalize on the good fortune coming your way.

Daily Horoscopes for September 7

Today’s goal is to find a balanced point from which to operate so we don’t bite off more than we can chew. It’s difficult to avoid being swept up by our own enthusiasm as the willful Sun squares bombastic Jupiter. Unfortunately, it’s difficult to stay focused as sweet Venus quincunxes boundless Neptune and the Moon enters restless Gemini at 12:09 am EDT. Nevertheless, we get help from logical Mercury’s alignment with disciplined Saturn.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

It may feel as if you’re less in control today than you prefer. You might overcompensate by taking bold action, but on the inside you aren’t nearly as confident as you appear on the outside. Becoming more aware of your feelings enables you to react with less fear. Although you can think on your feet better than most, it’s smarter to take extra time for contemplation now rather than responding impulsively.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

The Sun in your 5th House of Play is pulled slightly off center by gigantic Jupiter today, making it difficult to express yourself objectively. You want to share everything you feel now, but this level of disclosure might be a bit too much. Although you may claim that you’re protecting someone else from getting hurt, you’re also making things easier for yourself. If you’re going to be stubborn about anything, be determined to grow from your current experiences.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Although you might not be a flag-waver, you still may become so attracted to a political ideology now that it plays on your need for emotional security. If your intentions are pure, almost nothing will stop you, especially if you are willing to bring your own shortcomings out into the open. However, having correct information is crucial, so take the time to familiarize yourself with all the issues before joining the cause.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Your self-confidence is running strong, making you believe that you can overcome nearly any obstacle today. Every invitation sounds like an opportunity you cannot turn down. However, you might say yes to so many activities today that you don’t have time to keep up with any of them. Good intentions only count for part of the battle; setting priorities is just as important now.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Your social life gets a boost today, yet the attention you receive endures if you stay true to your own values. This isn’t about resting on past achievements. There may be powerful forces at work that you don’t completely understand. It’s better not to confront them head-on just yet. Have faith that you’ll know when it’s time to act.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You’re often able to logically decide what’s best, but this doesn’t mean that you’re immune to bad decisions. You may make a choice today for all the wrong reasons. Don’t put your career aspirations ahead of what you know to be good for you personally. Try to keep it all in perspective now, otherwise you could take on more than you can handle. If you do, you’ll just have to go back and start all over again.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Today’s Sun-Jupiter combination lures you toward over-indulging, even if you are doing your best to avoid extremes. Your desire to do what’s right makes your life more complicated than you wish, but you really don’t have much of a choice. You need to do what resonates with your imagination now that your key planet Venus aligns with fantasy-prone Neptune. Be brave and move confidently in the direction that you want to go in your life.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

It’s difficult to find balance when you’re being tempted by so many interesting possibilities. But even if your desire to create harmony in your life is strong now, you still don’t want to miss the social opportunities that are showing up. A strong connection with friends is highly favored today. Don’t get discouraged if the peace you seek seems elusive. It will come in time.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your key planet Jupiter is so stressed today that you could do something foolish. However, you can also express Jupiter’s power in a productive manner by being motivated to make something positive happen. Your ability to think big is both your strength and weakness now because you may be tempted to put your efforts toward a project that is better left undone. Thankfully, applying a little bit of common sense works wonders for you at this time.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You are concerned about getting everything completed that you accepted responsibility for doing. But distractions can change the landscape of your day as opportunities appear that look too good to be ignored. Normally, you might be able to keep yourself on track. However, you don’t have a balanced perspective today, making it difficult to determine what is most important. Keep in mind that bigger isn’t necessarily better.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

It might be difficult to harness the power that you have now. Unfortunately, you may have to venture into less comfortable emotional realms to make the most of today’s potential. Although navigating through your feelings isn’t as straightforward as untangling your thoughts, this is where your creativity is born. Letting go of control allows your heart to express more naturally — and this is a step in the right direction.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

People may enter your life now to bring you a variety of options, but you could have an unrealistic understanding of the current situation. Try as you might, you won’t likely be able to see what’s truly happening. Don’t stress unnecessarily; the right opportunity will give you the time to think it through. You’re not going to solve the problem today. Be as mellow as you can and see where things take you before making a final decision.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for September 6

What happens when several alignments — challenging and encouraging — occur during an extensive void lunar cycle in Taurus? That’s what you will discover during most of today as the Moon in the second sign of the zodiac is somewhat out of sorts and in void condition until 9:11PM PDT when the Moon will enter airy Gemini. Opportunities for forward progress certainly seem to be manifesting concerning healing matters and love bonds early on when Chiron makes a supportive, 60-degree liaison with Pluto (2:25AM PDT) followed quickly by the Moon bring parallel to Venus (2:28AM PDT). However, with the Moon being void, perhaps the Chiron-Pluto and Moon-Venus aspects will be less effective than normal. Several hours later, Vesta makes an inspirational, 72-degree rapport with Uranus (7:05AM PDT) — an alignment that should help you to increase the value of your investments and assets. Nevertheless, the presence of the void Moon could water down that energy-field. Venus shifts from Cancer to Leo (7:49AM PDT) — a cycle that lasts until October 3. Another fairly strong alignment — Venus moving 45-degrees to Jupiter (10:47AM PDT) — occurs under the void lunar aegis, and could influence it one way or another, toward building up good fortune or warning human souls not to overdo a good thing. Eventually, the guessing games will stop at 9:11PM PDT when the void cycle ends and Gemini Moon begins — emphasizing reading, writing, arts, crafts and hobbies over the next 2+ day lunar dispensation in the third sign of the zodiac. Hit the history or biography books later on when Mercury makes a 45-degree link with Saturn (9:45PM PDT). It makes sense to learn from your mentors and teachers.

Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday, Sept. 5

We can make progress in practical ways today, but it’s difficult to get motivated. We’ve been running around in circles and may feel as if we need a bit of time off. We might try to convince ourselves that maintaining the status quo is smarter now than taking any kind of risk as the sensible Taurus Moon forms a grounding Grand Earth Trine with Pluto, Mercury and the Sun. Even energetic Mars is a bit subdued, making rest sound like a good idea.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Do your job well today and everything else should fall into place. Whatever issues you face represent opportunities to pay attention to your common sense. Forget about the lofty ideas of philosophy and metaphysics for now. Instead, work around your home, in the garden or at your desk, but don’t waste your time on anything that’s not useful. Being able to see tangible results brings you more satisfaction than you expect.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You know what would satisfy you now and what you need to do in order to find happiness. Thankfully, you’re able to establish concrete goals and work steadily to achieve them. However, you may have to overcome someone’s objections to your plan before you can proceed. Be clear when stating your position and don’t waste too much time in a disagreement. Ultimately, walking your talk is the best way to demonstrate your convictions.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You may spend the day lost in daydreams that are tied to your childhood memories. Your family history — both good and bad — is flooding into your consciousness now. Your imagination is communicating a message to you and it’s important that you keep your rational perspective out of the way. Let the images wash over you without seeking any logical explanation today. The puzzle pieces will fit together when the time is right.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Healing arrives in an unexpected manner today. Even if you have inadvertently hurt someone recently, your own insecurities about your feelings might stir up the most pain. Talking about your emotional process is the most beneficial thing you can do now. Take care of your needs first so you’re able to continue to nurture others. Your willingness to be vulnerable opens the way to mutual understanding.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Get out and express yourself today, but try to avoid creating any unnecessary drama in the process. Although you may be at odds with your own feelings, observing your shifting moods as they change throughout the day can bring much needed perspective on a practical matter. You don’t have all the answers yet. Remember, being conscious is more important now than being right.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You may want to reconsider recent decisions now because they are back on the table for discussion. There is no time like the present to sort through all the possibilities. Your practical skills are growing by leaps and bounds, but you must put them to use as soon as possible. You can’t reap the benefits if you don’t take initiative today.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Although you normally try to make everyone feel comfortable, you might assume that others are doing better than they actually are today. Unfortunately, someone may take your apparent lack of interest personally, believing that you are ignoring them when they need you most. Thankfully, you can minimize any possible hurt feelings by keeping the communication channels open. Making sure that others know you care is what matters most.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You’ve been somewhat erratic lately, but now it looks like your emotions are beginning to settle down. You are establishing steady rhythms in your life so that your relationships at home and at work can stabilize. However, remember that you can’t do it all by yourself. You need to collaborate with others — friends and family — as part of your personal transformation. Giving and receiving support creates a healthy network you can count on.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You made a commitment recently and now you can’t stop thinking about all there is to do. This is a career-focused phase, and even if you’ve had a few days of reprieve, it is time to plan your next moves. It could feel like a game today, but there are serious changes coming down the road and you need to be ready for them. Prepare for the future by attending to details in advance.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You are receiving positive encouragement from all the planets in Earth signs now, including the Sun in analytical Virgo and the Moon in sensual Taurus. Creativity is natural at this time because brilliant ideas come easily. But it’s not just about your intelligence; it’s also about exploring how to work with your current resources. Find a way to get the job done, no matter what. The satisfaction you feel at the end of the day makes the extra effort worth the trouble.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

An extra layer of stress pushes you to make choices today, yet you cannot resolve the differences between your head and your heart. It feels as if you must neglect a part of yourself either way, but this is just a temporary illusion. Go ahead and make your decision the best you can by following your instincts. And, most likely, as the planets continue to move and the pressure lifts, you will discover that you did the right thing.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your feet are back on the ground today, enabling you to make a concrete plan and then put it into motion. Although you could run into a bit of opposition early in the day, you’re able to convince others that your way makes the most sense. But there’s no need to waste words in endless arguments. Ultimately, your actions will state your case better than anything you can say.

Finally, Daily Horoscopes for September 3

Emotions run strong today, yet they may hit a wall. We might feel alone and separated from someone we love as Venus, the planet of desire, aligns with Saturn, the planet of resistance. We reach out, but fall short of satisfaction. Thankfully, action-hero Mars forms a harmonious trine with healer Chiron, enabling us to overcome some of the obstacles to pleasure. Additionally, the impulsive Aries Moon encourages us to push our feelings to the edge.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may try to avoid fulfilling your obligations on the home front. However, you won’t be able to escape from doing your part no matter how much you struggle. You might not be pleased with those who make demands on you, but you don’t need to isolate yourself from everyone else. Instead of building walls around your heart, try meeting others halfway. Finding a healthy balance between dependence and freedom is your best route to healthier relationships.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Someone at work may get on your case today about something you consider trivial. You might not intend any harm, but what you say now can inadvertently hurt a person you care about. Try to maintain a high level of compassion and tenderness. If you open your heart a deeper friendship will have a chance to blossom, even if it doesn’t happen overnight.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You might be dealing with issues of low self-esteem today, making you doubt your every move. Problems may surface within a relationship if you withdraw to address your concerns. This detachment could make the other person uncomfortable with the emotional distance. Keep the communication channels as clear as possible to avoid any trouble. Try not to take yourself or others too seriously now since the energy will warm up again in a few days.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Loving Venus in your sign squares austere Saturn, stimulating feelings of dissatisfaction. You might not even want to try to bridge the gulf between your emotions and the circumstances of your life. Be courageous and face the current issues, even if it doesn’t seem like it’s worth the effort. Considering the options, do whatever is required to give it your best shot. You may not feel satisfied with your accomplishments today, yet the rewards will follow if you simply do the work.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Today is one of those days when it is difficult to motivate yourself to do much of anything. It’s easy to come up with reasons to lay low, yet it is important that you take immediate action. Methodical and careful movement can help you make progress to your goals. But if you leap before you look you will have to go back to the beginning and start all over again.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You have social obligations that you prefer to avoid now as sobering Saturn stresses gracious Venus in your 11th House of Friends and Community. Unfortunately, you still have to deliver on your previous commitments, even if you want to stay home. It’s easier to justify attending a function if you consider it to be business related. Just show up without expectations and it will probably end up being more fun than you anticipated.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your key planet Venus squares conservative Saturn today and this dynamic could work in one of two ways. On one hand, you may feel like pulling back from your interactions with others as you attempt to establish clear boundaries for yourself. On the other hand, you can apply your talents in practical ways now. Even if you don’t feel as creative as usual, your artistic or technical skills could still be put to good use. Overcome any discouragement or self-doubt you might face and push steadily toward your goals.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Although you’re aware of your feelings, you don’t necessarily want to make them available for public consumption. You aren’t saying what’s on your mind now and others probably realize that you’re keeping something private. Nevertheless, they cannot figure out what to do about your silence. Don’t be overly concerned about what others think. Put all your energy into choosing what to do next.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You could be caught up in a complicated dilemma that pushes you right up against the edges of your own comfort zone. But it’s really not so bad now, even if you are more anxious in the emotional realms than you are in the world of actions and ideas. Don’t try to control your feelings since that never works as well as you think. Instead, observe what makes you uncomfortable today. Awareness can be the most effective catalyst for change all by itself.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may be required to choose responsibility over fun as your key planet Saturn forms a stressful square with pleasurable Venus. Your life seems to be controlled by circumstances now rather than your desires and it grates on your nerves. However, you are learning about a higher truth, so push through whatever is holding you back. Delaying gratification seems like a sacrifice, but could lead to a deeper sense of contentment in the long run.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Although you may face your normal routine today, it’s important to also take time to think about your emotional needs. Even if this self-reflection seems out of character, you stand to make real gains if you can isolate what you require for your own happiness. You might try to apply logic to the situation, but it won’t work now. Leave the rational world behind while you explore the realms of your imagination and heart.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You can create a bubble of happiness around you if you accept the present limitations now. Unfortunately, there may not be room enough in the bubble for others, so you might experience a temporary sense of isolation. However, pushing beyond the apparent boundaries allows you to stay connected with those you love no matter what.

Daily Horoscopes for Sunday, September 2

We are ready to blast ahead today as we leave the previous emotional cycle in the past. The Moon stomps into spontaneous Aries at 1:37 am EDT, encouraging us to look ahead and engage new feelings rather than processing recent experiences. The Moon’s dynamic aspects to unrelenting Pluto and progressive Uranus push us forward. Nevertheless, we would still benefit from looking back over the previous month before impulsively jumping into the future.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

It’s a day of contrary cosmic messages as the Moon in your sign motivates you to take charge. Meanwhile, confusion from the past few days still lingers, holding you back and preventing you from swinging into action. It’s challenging to find a way to honor both sets of feelings. Go ahead and drive into new territory, but move slowly to allow time for your emotions to catch up with your intentions.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Your fantasies take on new colors now and the symbols are different from what they once were. Nevertheless you are not ready to let go of your familiar thoughts and feelings. Don’t be too hard on yourself; you don’t need to move any faster than what feels right. It isn’t necessary to justify your actions — or lack of them — to anyone at this time. Just trust the timing of the universe and accept that you are right on schedule.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You feel restless today, yet you still can play the role of a quiet observer who is carefully taking notes and considering your alternatives. Your inner strategist takes charge now, making you less concerned with the hectic pace of life. Cultivate this inner voice as it works to create the most efficient path possible through the stormy seas that rage around you.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You want to be seen in public now with the extroverted Aries Moon traveling through your 10th House of Status. Although your feelings are strong today, they may still be in dynamic conflict with the logic that you’ve wrapped around yourself for protection. Thankfully, you understand that the emotional tides are in constant flux. Ride out this wave and you’ll feel better soon enough.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Even if you are still a bit uncertain about what’s most important now, you’re probably feeling more optimistic than you did yesterday. The path is clearing and you have become, at least temporarily, aware of your destiny. You can grow frustrated if you believe you need to reach your goals right away. This is going to take time to unfold. Grant yourself the luxury of getting excited, but don’t strive for goals that are so unreachable that you set yourself up for disappointment.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You need to do the right thing, whatever the emotional cost. You might have recently retreated for a while to make sure that your feelings were real. Now that you have thoroughly analyzed the situation, you’re eager to set your plan into motion today, but this may not be as easy as you think. Go ahead, but remember you are in pursuit of long-term happiness and not immediate gratification.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You’ve been playing out your situation with style and grace, even if you recently had to face a high level of uncertainty. However, you can actually improve the outcome of a tricky situation with a proper attitude today. Thankfully, you just might snatch success from the jaws of defeat if you work in partnership now. Remember that you are building foundations and you’ll have plenty of time for fun and games later on.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

There is a dark side to the power of Scorpio that adds to your mystique. But this isn’t an evil force; it’s merely a portion of reality that hides in the shadows. You’re aware that something is lurking unseen nearly all the time, but if you can see it now, you can deal with it. Watch for signs of suppressed possessiveness, resentment or jealousy. Facing difficult issues with fierce determination ensures that you will emerge stronger and brighter in the near future.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You are in love with life itself and are ready for a very special surprise. But something is in the way, preventing you from fully expressing your usual happy-go-lucky optimism. Don’t look at the current situation as an obstacle that stands between you and your happiness. Instead, be thankful that your search for meaning is slowing you down so that you can learn what you need to know from emotional interactions along the way.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You tend to restrain from expressing your first reactions, yet you may feel even more conservative today than usual. This is not about national politics; it’s your emotional politics you’re concerned with now and your personal relationships are strongly impacted by your caution. You would rather settle for a little less excitement, love, or money than gamble on the possibility of losing it all. Remember, nothing ventured; nothing gained. A small risk is better than none at all.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Your interplanetary radio is playing private requests today, but the cosmos seems to be broadcasting tunes with conflicting messages. You may not be able to decide whether to follow your initial impulse to be with people or your current desire to be alone. Remember, whatever happens now, things will change. Staying flexible enables you to handle the contradictions with grace as you experience them.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You might feel that you’re not receiving enough emotional support now from those closest to you. You may get a bit discouraged today, but being down on yourself or others is not an effective use of your time. The best thing you can do is analyze the situation clearly, isolate the source of your negativity and share your feelings about it. Initiate a new pattern in your life; even if it doesn’t start off smoothly, stirring things up can bring about positive changes down the road.

Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday, August 29

Intense passion drives us to accomplish more as the willful Sun harmoniously trines powerful Pluto. However, we’re not likely to run around and waste energy doing many things. Instead, clever Mercury’s cooperative sextile to taskmaster Saturn enables us to focus our intentions with great precision to make something dramatic happen. Meanwhile, today’s intelligent Aquarius Moon encourages us to take an innovative approach to all that we do.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You are committed to getting ahead at work today and not much will stand in your way. Although your enthusiasm inspires you, you’re able to balance your confidence with a grounded sense of reality. You would be smart to get busy now while you have a practical outlook on what you need to accomplish. Don’t wait for others to jump in to support you; the sooner you start, the faster you’ll reach your destination.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Your romantic urges are strong now and there’s not much to hold you back from expressing what’s in your heart. You’re attracted to the idea of romance, yet you have a very pragmatic approach to a relationship that you want to enliven with meaning. Exploring the possibilities in your imagination is exciting, but it’s not enough. Finding a way to turn your desires into reality is what really counts.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your loyalty to your home and family may come to the forefront today as circumstances require you to supply a shoulder for someone to lean on. But every little thing you do now has more consequences than you expect. Think first before you respond so you can accurately express your deepest convictions. Others will appreciate you more when you take the time to show that you really care.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Although you may be ready to deepen a commitment today, something is telling you to wait. Of course, you won’t likely listen to this cautionary voice of reason because you are feeling self-confident now. Even if you believe that you know exactly what steps to take next, there’s still a part of you that just wants to have fun. Remain open to events as they develop and remember you might have to change your plans along the way.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You may be choosing to wear that generous heart of yours on your sleeve where everyone can see how much you have to give. They can also tell how much you need to be appreciated and loved. Your openness is a double-edged sword now. Strong desires motivate you to take action right away, but you must moderate your behavior. Pay attention to others so you don’t inadvertently hurt anyone as you seek emotional and sensual fulfillment.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Sometimes intense emotions tempt you to act defensively so no one realizes how strongly you’re feeling today. The basic problem with this strategy is that your deeply rooted passions may get buried in the process. Letting others know your feelings can seem like risky business because you don’t want to appear inappropriate. Nevertheless, it’s safer than you think to be vulnerable now, so listen to your heart and do what it says.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You are a champion at lightening up the atmosphere when a discussion gets down and dirty. It’s not because you don’t find meaning from the mysterious hidden places — it’s natural for you to try to balance the energies. Nevertheless, you’re being pulled into a powerful tidal current of complex feelings — and you might not be able to swim your way around it today. Flow with the emotions and keep breathing. You’ll emerge with a new perspective if you stick with the process.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

The radiant Sun harmonizes with your key planet Pluto today, shining a light on that which is hidden. Passionate Pluto symbolizes the dark mysteries that might be scary because of ignorance. However, it’s time to muster up an extra dose of courage and head down into the darkness of your own subconscious mind. Once you know the truth your reality grows brighter.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You might not be feeling as optimistic as you wish today, but you can rely on your strong inner resolve no matter what’s happening in your outer life now. Your core beliefs are changing for reasons that you might not yet fully understand. Let go of those things that have already begun to slip away. Don’t attempt to stop the process because room is being made for new opportunities that will soon enter your life.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You have the endurance to hold your own position, even in these stormy seas of change. You can feel the instability all around you. But there isn’t anything coming at you that is necessarily harmful. Be ready to dance with the unknown, for if you try to ignore the music, it will play louder and louder until you cannot shut it out. Ultimately, your willingness to experience what’s happening in the present moment will enable you to move gracefully into the future.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may feel waves of emotions wash over you in a very unpredictable way today. Your feelings are often quirky anyway, but now you’re getting strange emotional reactions that are unlike your regular feelings that come and go. All emotions rise and fall like the tides, but this could seem more like a tsunami. Nevertheless, it’s wise to go with the flow for a few days until the energy settles back down.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

It’s a smart idea to pull back from the maddening crowd today; however, it’s difficult to escape because you may be in over your head with unfulfilled promises. But if you can’t go on a retreat now, at least cultivate a spiritually conducive atmosphere wherever you are. Religious or spiritual ritual can enhance your day, so make time for quiet meditation or get outside in a natural setting that is good for your soul.

New Moon Report for August 29: North Node In Scorpio

New Moon Report

By Jeff Jawer

North Node in Scorpio

Wednesday, August 29

The North Node in Scorpio points toward emotional accountability. The Fixed Water sign measures the exchange rate of relationships: what we get for what we give. Scorpio pays attention and keeps score but it deepens connections, and makes new combinations that transform us in the process. The South Node now entering Taurus is self-indulgent. When contentment is the only goal we grow numb to the needs of others. Desire is the common theme of these signs. Scorpio dives deeper because it wants more. Its hunger to feel pushes us to emotional extremes that may be embarrassing. Yet embracing a wider spectrum of feeling will help us learn more than living passively like contented cows.

Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, August 28

We attempt to keep the lid on reality today with the Moon in conservative Capricorn, but things get strange when she shifts into eccentric Aquarius at 1:38 pm EDT. Meanwhile, shocking Uranus is activated by Mercury, Venus and Mars, triggering new ideas, as if lightning is striking within our brains. Still, it’s difficult to stay emotionally detached, even if we try to maintain objectivity. More is happening than meets the watchful eye.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Your life seems to grow crazier today, as if everything hasn’t been weird enough already. You have a lot to do now, but others may not realize exactly how much you have on your plate. The good news is that you can compress time and accomplish a lot, especially when the pressure builds. Try to set a manageable pace for yourself, even if it’s difficult to stick with your original plan.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You are in a stressful frame of mind today and things that are usually fun and easy may become the source of anxiety. You might do better if you are willing to let go of your preconceived agenda and roll with the incoming waves of emotional intensity. An unexpected event could be a signal that something is off-kilter. If anything goes wrong now try to understand the deeper message. Staying open to change allows you to make the most of the present moment.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Circumstances grow more intense as you are pulled in multiple directions. You want to keep your attention on a specific task today, but chances are that you might be easily distracted. However, you may not be able to resist the temptation. Just remember to put yourself back on track as soon as you realize what has happened. Making the necessary adjustments throughout the day enables you to rise above the noise and reach your goals.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You have an innate sense of knowing when the emotional tides are changing. You can feel it in your stomach; you just know something’s going on. Although your tendency now may be to say too much rather than too little, there are things that must be brought out into the light of day. Speak as kindly and respectfully as possible. Playing the guilt card won’t improve the situation.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You are experiencing a metaphorical changing of the guard; one phase is over yet the next one hasn’t yet begun. In this time of being in between worlds, you have an opportunity to react to the circumstances as they unfold, without being anchored down by your own emotional baggage. Take the developments in your life slowly, for they are important ones and you really need to respond in a thoughtful manner.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Things seem to be getting better today, but the final outcome depends totally upon you. It’s good news if you’re willing to let go of people or things that no longer serve a meaningful purpose. It’s also time to say goodbye to those aspects of your personality that impede your progress. Bring whatever makes you feel tense to the surface so you can deal with it out in the open once and for all.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

If someone seems erratic to you today, remember that you’re the one being zapped by unpredictable Uranus. Anything that happens out of the blue now is pointing the way to hidden stress that needs to be released. Even if things seem crazy, it’s time to take a serious look at your personal and professional relationships. Don’t stand in the way of change. Be bold and stir up anything that feels stuck so that you can break free from old patterns.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your nervous system is buzzing today. You may feel as if you’re trying to choose between wanting to participate in a group project and needing your personal freedom. However, it’s exciting to be involved with something larger than your individual interests. Allow yourself to experience the energy of sudden change rather than attempting to avoid it. You will feel revitalized when the edginess settles down tomorrow.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Unexpected romantic conflict might surface today and have impact on other areas of your life. If there are relationship tensions brewing now, this is a time when they may suddenly blast into your awareness. But you aren’t eager to show your vulnerability. Although this emotional exposure could be unpleasant at first, it’s catalytic and certainly can lead to positive change. Clearing the air opens the doors for amazing opportunities to follow.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You are attracted to a wide variety of new ideas during this topsy-turvy time. Something that you might have judged negatively during another period in your life now makes total sense. You are becoming more aware of innovative concepts that are normally outside of your comfort zone. If you allow yourself to entertain intellectual possibilities today, exciting experiences could follow. Let yourself experience the buzz, even if you choose not to act on it.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You feed off of the energy of a group, but you don’t actually feel as if you’re part of it. Sometimes, when others are stressed you are just excited about the potential. You need to stay open to big changes now because things will only grow more unstable if you try to hold on to the safety of old habits and structures. Let go of those things that are holding you back to make the upcoming transition as smooth as possible.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

It’s time to expect the unexpected, even if you are comfortably settled into a relationship. Of course, knowing how to second-guess what’s around the corner remains a mystery. Your need for freedom of expression is strong now, so anything can happen. If you have tied your future to a narrow band of expectations, then you could be in for an abrupt surprise. But if you remain open to new possibilities, today’s awakening can carry you along toward your destination in life.

Air signs can tolerate almost any circumstance, as long as there is a rational explanation for it. They have great leadership capabilities, with a reputation of being fair.

Air people cannot understand why everyone does not think and act as they do. They they make a mistake, they tend to rationalize instead of using the situation as a learning experience. They are devoted to abstract idea and have difficulty making decisions, making them sometimes exasperating to work with . In addition, they tend to procrastinate.

Daily Horoscopes for Friday, August 24

We are just as easily misled by our own perceptions as we are by someone else now that the Sun opposes illusory Neptune. We could convince ourselves of almost anything we want to believe. Although we grow more creative as our imaginations run wild, it’s tricky discerning fact from fiction. But we don’t have to seek an escape route today; it will find us. The uplifting Sagittarius Moon reminds us that we can journey to places that offer us hope.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You are eager to negotiate for the common good today, but you’re not ready to set aside your personal needs. You know all about your financial bottom line and may be afraid of reaching it. But don’t worry; things are not as grim as they appear. Try not to make too many impulsive judgments until you have all of the facts. Acting too soon might lead you into trouble you can simply avoid by planning in advance.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

The adventurous Sagittarius Moon is fueling your emotional renewal, yet there’s also another influence bubbling up today. Nebulous Neptune brings a highly spiritual kind of love to your relationships, even if your friends confuse you with their actions. Fortunately, you should be able to draw on your common sense to get some perspective. But don’t pretend you know exactly what’s going on now; stay in touch with your uncertainty, even if it makes you uneasy. There’s magic to be found if you can surrender to the unknown.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You may find yourself swinging back and forth between the largest possible view of life and the most specific details. Your imagination soars today, allowing you to see every issue from a global perspective. But it’s difficult for you to act on a grandiose vision. Bringing your mental meandering back down to earth will be rewarded now. Find small ways to move toward the big picture.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You aren’t as resistant to change as your co-workers think. After all, the Crab’s daily rhythms are intimately connected with the constantly shifting tides. But today, as emotional currents finally shift, it may be challenging to tell which way the waters will ultimately be flowing. Hold on to your current position for now. Wait a few days until the confusion clears before taking action.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

If a close friend or partner is hard to read, it may be that your own confusion is broadcasting mixed messages which now echo back to you. If you are uncertain about a relationship, don’t fall into the trap of pretending that everything is OK. By covering up your feelings today, you are setting the stage for more misunderstandings to surface later on. Be honest about what you need while also imagining the best possible outcome.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your spiritual energy is growing stronger and metaphysical interests may take on greater significance these days. Subtle changes are occurring now, even if their effects aren’t yet visible. Although there are big shifts on the horizon, they are already being activated in your subconscious. Quit worrying about the details today to fully benefit from what’s happening in your imagination.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You are the uncontested champion of the balancing act, yet today you’re feeling unsettled as the cosmic conflict between the willful Sun and confusing Neptune now pulls you in two directions. Part of you is ascending into the spiritual realm as another part handles the very real limitations of the material world. You may idealize the situation, yet it is crucial to try to see things as they truly are. Honoring both sides — the invisible and the tangible — ensures that you’ll be ready for whatever happens next.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You may not know where you are going these days, yet your role in the outer world is still very important to you. You wonder if you should pursue your career or place more attention on the spiritual dimensions of your soul. There are no quick and easy answers to this existential dilemma. Simplify the issues as much as you can and then let yourself feel what it’s like to linger in your own uncertainty. The longer you sustain the mystery, the easier the resolution will be when clarity finally arrives.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You are often drawn toward the grandest ideas, since you enjoy living your life in a big way. You may not always attend to all the details, and sometimes they can come back to haunt you. You don’t have the inclination to return from your current dreams yet if you’re wandering on the outer edges of the universe. However, you might not have a choice if the hard cold truth requires you to pay close attention. Take your cues from reality and do the responsible thing.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

The inspirational Sagittarius Moon tends to pull you away from more practical realms. It may be more difficult to keep both feet on the ground now with magical Neptune lifting you into the clouds of illusion. You might be required to solve complicated problems involving your relationships with friends or co-workers. Stick to the facts because there is great potential to misunderstand each other’s basic values. Listening with your heart helps to keep you on track.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

One-on-one relationships are a source of confusion today, especially if you don’t listen to what others are saying. It takes extra effort to hear the truth because your words can get in the way of the message. But don’t force your perspective on anyone else. The solution to the current tension comes from recognizing multiple points of view and allowing them to exist side by side now without panicking.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You are quite wise to attend to the rigorous demands of your life by taking concrete action and checking off each item on your list of things to do. The truth is that you may find it very challenging to maintain focus today as the Sun opposes your key planet Neptune. You would rather spend time daydreaming, reading a book or going to a movie. Finish your work first; you can fully enjoy guilt-free time afterward to activate your imagination.

Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday, August 22

The energy shifts today as we step into new territory. The Moon slips into emotional Scorpio at 3:53 am EDT, amplifying our intuition and intensifying our feelings. It’s also the first day of a new astrological month as the Sun enters the harvest sign Virgo. Although summer isn’t over yet, we grow more practical now as we look ahead toward autumn activities. However, a mentally expansive Mercury-Jupiter sextile offsets our focused approach.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

The Sun’s entrance into meticulous Virgo makes you slightly uncomfortable because you find it challenging to focus on the details. You want to get up and do something right away. However, the Virgo Sun reminds you some things are worth waiting for now. Thankfully, your patience is rewarded later in the day when optimism replaces negativity. Don’t let your impatience get the best of you; concentrate on your long-term goals rather than immediate gratification.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

The earthy Virgo Sun feels easy because it naturally reinforces your pragmatic approach to life. The month ahead can bring you several significant realizations about your relationships. Fortunately, you don’t need to be concerned about success versus failure. All you have to think about is doing what’s right. Keep your feet on the ground and listen to your heart.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You are probably more stressed by the information in your life now than by the company you keep. Nevertheless, it’s crucial to set priorities and decide which data is the most useful. The situation grows more complex as the Sun moves into thoughtful Mercury’s other sign, Virgo. A family member may demand a solution, but answers are elusive. Don’t respond if it means compromising your intellectual integrity.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

It’s a communication-oriented day, and the Sun’s presence in rational Virgo motivates you to sift through your ideas and eliminate the ones that don’t stand up to your high standards. The problem is that the speed of events in your immediate surroundings might accelerate to an unsustainable pace. Fortunately, your analytical skills help you juggle the various parts of your life. But trying to manage everything now only makes you more anxious. It’s admirable to set your goals high, but give yourself plenty of time to reach them.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You may have mixed emotions today as the Sun leaves your sign to begin its month-long stay in cautious Virgo. The lights were shining brightly on you the past few weeks and it felt good. However, now it’s someone else’s turn to take center stage. Although you might feel relieved, it’s likely that you also feel a bit let down. Step out of the spotlight; once you are behind the scenes you can take the momentum you’ve gained and turn it into something that is real and lasting.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

This is your special time of year to be reinvigorated by the radiant Sun’s life force. Although you may start off in a bad mood, your attitude improves throughout the day. Look back over your previous year to take stock in what you’ve accomplished, re-evaluate your present path, and visualize the year ahead. Blow out the candles in your imagination and make your wishes come true.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

It’s time to get down to business so you can finish what you already started. But if you catch yourself daydreaming today, gently pull your thoughts back to the present moment. Maintain a high level of objectivity so you can respond to specific situations in your immediate surroundings without being emotional. This isn’t the best time to fantasize about the future; instead, be pragmatic now and concentrate on the work at hand.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

The precision of the exacting Virgo Sun stirs the deep passions that motivate you Scorpios, both for better and for worse. You can erupt from the heat of the center of the volcano into the blue sky of hopes and dreams. But this is not about the appearance of random fantasies of better times and different places. Your current vision is about the very real goals you are creating now to drive yourself right into your co-created future.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your big Sagittarius energy may be at odds with the attention to minute details that is required by the narrowing Virgo Sun this month. But there are rewards for you Archers who shoot your arrows of intention high into the night sky while also concentrating on your work and career. Set aside some of your grandiose plans today so you can put one foot carefully in front of the other. Great journeys begin with a single small step. There will be time for giant leaps later on once you’re already on the move.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You Mountain Goats like to dig your hooves into solid ground, and you get your chance now that the Sun is entering earthy Virgo. It seems like there are specific things you must do today and you’re eager to perform to the best of your abilities. Applying careful analysis to the situation and letting others know what you think is the best course of action.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

It’s challenging to settle down today, even if you skipped your morning coffee. You feel like a mosquito nervously buzzing around waiting for a summer storm that never arrives. You may find it difficult to solve a problem; just as you figure out what needs to be done, the circumstances change and a totally different solution is required. Stay light on your feet and be ready to respond to the situation as it evolves.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Relationship issues are on your mind now that the Sun’s visit to your 7th House of Partners emphasizes your interactions with others. But you might not understand a co-worker as much as you would like, possibly creating an insurmountable gulf between you and someone else. Nevertheless, it may be wise to temporarily bury your feelings and downplay your intuition. Keep in mind that this isn’t a life-altering change; it’s simply what the day’s energy requires.
