Your Daily Horoscopes for Friday, March 21st

We may visualize climbing to the top of a distant mountain today, but dreaming about the journey isn’t enough to get us there. Nevertheless, our minds are infused with idealism once the Moon shifts into philosophical Sagittarius at 11:38 am EDT. However, the growing emphasis on initiating action is softened as the Moon squares Mercury and Neptune in mystical Pisces, dampening our enthusiasm and shifting the emphasis to more spiritual matters.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

On one hand, your reality can mysteriously blend with fantasy today, making it hard to tell the difference. On the other hand, the Moon’s move into fiery Sagittarius rejuvenates your spirit and inspires you to think big. Your energy is irrepressible, even if you don’t know exactly where you’re going. Patience serves you better now than blindly pushing ahead; you don’t have to act on every whim unless you want to stir up trouble.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

The wide-open spaces in front of you may be a bit daunting because it’s nearly impossible to know which opportunities make the most sense now. Fortunately, you can rely on your friends and colleagues for the guidance you need today. Listen to what they have to say, even if you aren’t sure that they truly understand your interests. You can greatly benefit from the wisdom of experience if you remain open to the helpful advice. Just remember that the final choice is still yours to make

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

You might not run into any obstacles today, yet slowing down is a wise strategy anyhow. Emotional issues can present problems, even in the most cooperative relationships. You may feel as if you are split in two, with your heart telling you one thing now while circumstances require you to act differently. Don’t try to solve the dilemma yet; just be aware of the source of stress. Taking full responsibility for your own feelings makes it easier for everyone involved.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Even if you have been a bit too anxious recently, you may feel the soothing waves of contentment wash up on your shores today. Somehow, you can see the whole picture more clearly now and you’re happy to do anything that fits into the larger plan. Unfortunately, you could get caught up in the excitement, committing to more than you’re able to deliver. Taking careful baby steps is a better approach than running too fast and falling down.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Although you might attempt to remain confident today, you continue to gain awareness of complex feelings that you were hiding from yourself. Perhaps you remember a particular event from your childhood or maybe someone shares a deep secret with you. Either way, you probably feel more vulnerable now than you prefer. Don’t push away the uncomfortable emotions since they can work as an amazing catalyst to your next phase of growth. You don’t have to perform to impress others with your courage.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You may believe that someone is being manipulative in their dealings with you today, giving you plenty of justification to withdraw. Paradoxically, you might consider your retreat as an act of kindness; if you don’t walk away from the situation now, you could lash out and say something that hurts others. But one person’s bad behavior doesn’t need to ruin it for you and everyone else. Find a way to maintain your boundaries without turning into a hermit and spoiling all the fun.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Knowing how to respond to circumstances at work grows more difficult as the day wears on. Your beliefs may be called into question today, especially if you rely on them to rationalize your current actions. Stick with the facts; don’t let your subjectivity color your decisions. Be as fair-minded as possible now when separating the truth from the fiction. Others will appreciate your honest approach and sincere intentions.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your search for meaning takes top priority once the Moon enters philosophical Sagittarius. Nevertheless, you also wish you could forget about your troubles and have a good time today. Even if you are often quite serious about your spiritual journey, laughter may be the best medicine for your soul now. Instead of looking for answers in the shadows, it’s time to let your dreams play in the light.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Being connected to a deeper source of inspiration can be tricky business for you today, since your tendency is to put a positive spin on everything you do. However, your current path may drive you into the hidden realms of your own emotions, confusing an already complex situation. Instead of isolating yourself from others now, try sharing your feelings even if it makes you more vulnerable. It’s okay to open your heart as long as it’s with someone you trust.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Instead of basing your decisions on concrete information today, you may be better off paying more attention to your dreams now than to hard data. Obviously, it’s foolish to ignore the facts, but you can quickly see that they don’t tell the entire story. If you act on your intuition, don’t waste energy worrying about the judgment of others. Ultimately, your integrity speaks for itself.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You might uncover a misunderstanding over money matters today, but a bit of extra attention should quickly put the situation to rest. Perhaps you took action on something you thought to be true, only to later discover that you don’t have all of the numbers in front of you. If you feel overwhelmed or unsure of your next move now, ask your friends and coworkers for advice. They will offer you immeasurable support and help you put your financial affairs in order.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You feel as if you’re drifting in a thick fog today, but others still see you as a person who knows what he or she wants and how to get it. Nevertheless, strong emotional currents are pulling you in a variety of directions that confuse your navigational process. Don’t worry about the lack of visibility now; trust your moral compass and have faith that you will arrive safely at your still-unknown destination.

Weekend Love Horoscopes for March 21st – 23rd

Weekend Love Horoscope

March 21-23: Being Right vs. Being Happy

Maria DeSimone   Maria DeSimone on the topics of love, horoscopes, astrology

When it comes to romance, you’ll have the best intentions in the world this weekend. The Moon will be in Sagittarius from Friday until Sunday afternoon. Sagittarius is a sign concerned with integrity and morals. He holds on tight to his beliefs, and he needs to have his opinions respected. As a result, if your lover isn’t sharing your perspective on an important matter this weekend you might feel slighted. Indeed, you may take it too personally, and you may even perceive this difference of opinion as a form of rejection.

If you find this happening, take a step back and ask yourself: “Are you being self-righteous?” A sanctimonious attitude will be a surefire killer to the weekend fun potential with your mate. Sometimes in love we have to make the conscious decision to be happy instead of feeding the need to always be right. This will be one of those weekends.

On Saturday, Mercury will connect to Neptune, and your thoughts about faith in love will be as ideal as they can get. If there’s anything to be suspicious of, your tendency will be to ignore the flaws and convince yourself that you and your love are living the dream. If that’s true, good for you! If not, you might feel a slight emotional hangover by late Sunday when the Moon enters sober Capricorn.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Friday, March 21st

Patience is a cosmic and cardinal virtue. That should be your motto in the early hours today as the Moon in Scorpio continues in its void mode. There is no sense trying to leapfrog over competitors or push your way to the top of the executive totem pole when last night’s lunar conjunction with Saturn is still trying to make all the rules and force human souls to kowtow to numerous restrictions on the material plane.  The breakthrough comes to fruition at 8:40AM when the Moon goes through its monthly alchemy of changing from fixed water (Scorpio) to mutable fire (Sagittarius). In many ways, this is the toughest of all the lunar shifts as Scorpio implies the need for some kind of dying to the old while Sagittarius suggests the need to be reborn and renewed via a generous injection of fiery will and stimulating goal-orientation. Before you know it, fortuitous vibrations are on the upswing as the Moon trines the Sun in fire signs (10:28AM) while — just three minutes before — Venus makes a supportive, 30-degree tie with Chiron (10:25AM and energizing a variety of healing rituals).  Watch out for a rise in communication snafus as the Moon squares Mercury (5:30PM) and keep your distance from foggy conditions in the artistic, photographic and musical realms as the Moon squares Neptune (7:21PM). Even though the Moon in Sagittarius doesn’t sit too well with Mercury and Neptune 90-degrees away in Pisces, there are plenty of games and sports you can enjoy as the lunar orb graces this multi-faceted, eager and enthusiastic sector of the zodiac. [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Daylight Time. Be sure to adjust all times according to your own local time so the alignments noted above will be exact for your location.]

Your Daily Cosmic Calendar for March 20th

If erotic impulses strike in the early hours, it is due to the Moon in Scorpio square to Venus in Aquarius (2:25AM) followed by the Moon parallel Venus (4:20AM). Creative artistic expression is also high on the cosmic agenda with Venus strong and gaining extra attention via a subtle and yet still nurturing, 30-degree rapport with distant Pluto (7:57AM). In between the Moon parallel Venus and Venus in contact with Pluto, the Moon finds time to harmonize with Chiron via a trine in water signs (4:39AM). Enjoy a whirlpool treatment or massage and learn more about highly-regarded holistic healing services in your community.  The main cosmic event is the Sun entering fiery Aries (9:58AM) — one of the four sacred turning points of the year, and the start to spring in the Northern Hemisphere. Plunge into your favorite arts, crafts and hobbies with a vengeance. Enhance your leadership credential in the month ahead. Stop worrying about things you can’t control — especially as the Sun makes an off-kilter, 150-degree tie to Ceres (4:02PM), and the Moon parallels and then conjuncts Saturn in Scorpio (5:46PM and 8:13PM, respectively). Slow your pace — particularly in business and professional matters — as some significant soul-searching is required.  In addition, the Moon-Saturn union at 8:13PM also starts a void lunar twilight zone that remains in effect until 8:40AM tomorrow when the Moon enters ebullient Sagittarius. Completing odds and ends overnight is all right, but leave any important tasks to accomplish until Friday’s lunar dash into the ninth sign of the zodiac. [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Daylight Time. Be sure to adjust all times according to your own local time so the alignments noted above will be exact for your location.]

Today’s Tarot Card for March 19th is The Moon

The Moon

Wednesday, Mar 19th, 2014

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What has traditionally been known as the Moon card refers to a deep state of sensitivity and imaginative impressionability, developed within a womb of deep relaxation. Here we dream and go into trance, have visions and receive insights, wash in and out with the psychic tides, and experience deep mystical and/or terrifying realities beyond our ordinary senses. The full moon and/or eclipse cycle charted by the Magi (as in some of the earliest Moon card images) exemplify this as a mechanism that Nature uses to expand consciousness.

The variants of the courtly lovers (representing skillful use of the sex force) or the man sleeping it off under the tree (use of drugs to alter consciousness) are also traditional avenues for tapping this primal force. Human interest in higher states propels us to the frontiers of consciousness, where we cannot always control what happens. The Moon card represents the ultimate test of a soul’s integrity, where the membrane between self and the Unknown is removed, and the drop of individuality reenters the Ocean of Being. What transpires next is between a soul and its Maker.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for March 19th

The Moon entering the fixed, water sign of Scorpio (2:14AM) each month points you in the direction of becoming an amateur detective. Don your Sherlock Holmes disguise and solve personal mysteries while ferreting out family secrets. Getting to the bottom of things is a key trait of this segment of the zodiac. Mother Nature beckons in one fashion or another as the Moon embraces the largest asteroid Ceres (3:06AM). Take a good look at your dietary and nutritional needs. Strive to be highly productive in your main fields of expertise.  While much of today reveals a favorable vibration, the insurance, safety, security and investment fronts take a drubbing around the time when the Sun forms an off-kilter, 150-degree tie with Vesta (4:10AM). The good news picks up the pace shortly thereafter as a grand triangle in water signs lifts your spirits. The Moon in Scorpio first trines Mercury and Neptune in Pisces (5:42AM and 1:11PM, respectively) and then moves on to trine Jupiter in Cancer (9:58PM). Tune into the deeper levels of your spiritual awareness by utilizing the electro-magnetic qualities of this potent geometrical form in the heavens.  It is also appropriate to reflect on the last month — as well as the last 12 months — of your life, with the gains and losses, opportunities received and challenges met, as tomorrow sees the Sun entering Aries, a sacred turning point of the calendar year and the first day of spring in the Northern Hemisphere. [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Daylight Time. Be sure to adjust all times according to your own local time so the alignments noted above will be exact for your location.]

The Daily Cosmic Calendar for March 11th

Last night’s challenge — brought into manifestation by a Mercury-Saturn face-off of 90-degrees — is quickly becoming ancient history as the third grand triangle in the heavens influences our earthly life in the past four days. Now it is the Moon, Sun and Saturn that become a happy geometric form that human souls can bank on as the lunar orb in Cancer trines the Sun in Pisces (12:12AM) followed 5+ hours later by the Moon making another trine to Saturn in Scorpio (5:30AM). Any flowing link between the Moon and Sun has positive ramifications across the board, but when you add Saturn to the mix, it is wise to be somewhat logical, practical, and realistic about what you are attempting to accomplish. This trinity is particularly suited to giving your professional career a major boost.  The huge potential inherent in these aspects tends to dissipate later on as the Moon squares Mars (12:52PM) — a 90-degree clash that begins a 6+ hour void limbo time-span that lasts until 7:10PM when the Moon enters fiery, warmhearted Leo. During the void-of-course time-period, Venus makes an inspirational, 72-degree tie with Saturn (3:08PM). Even if this insightful alignment cannot be fully utilized around the exact time, you can tune into some of its conservative, monetary benefits once the Moon lights up the sign of the lion. Rev up your creative engines to high capacity as Tuesday night morphs into Wednesday morning — courtesy of a fairly rare, revelatory, 72-degree link between Ceres in Scorpio and Pluto in Capricorn (reaching exactitude at 12:19AM tomorrow). [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Daylight Time. Be sure to adjust all times according to your own local time so the alignments noted above will be exact for your location.]

The Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, February 25th

We are better equipped to see the relationship between cause and effect today as the Moon makes her way through calculating Capricorn. Although we think we can act with self-restraint, Jupiter brings overconfidence. After a few false starts, we may take a more realistic approach. We need time to consider what to do to attain our goals and make concrete plans to reach them. There are no shortcuts now; we must work to earn whatever we want.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Improving your chances of manifesting your dreams is simple today if you’re smart enough to practice patience. But waiting for the right opportunity is not an excuse to do nothing at all. Relaxing for a while is fine, but being lazy when you have so much to do is not in your best interest. Establishing a steady pace early in the day helps you get enough of your most critical chores out of the way so you can think about the bigger picture later on.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

You may be obsessing about a getaway now that the Moon is hooking up with relentless Pluto in your 9th House of Journeys. If you have been dreaming about going somewhere exotic, this is a perfect time to continue your exploration of the possibilities. Making plans for a future adventure is a great idea because you are able to deftly balance fantasy with reality now. Visualize all the alternatives and then choose the path that makes the most sense based on what you learn.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

You could be so busy now that you lose touch with your own emotions. However, taking on a little less work might allow your feelings to rise into awareness. Try not to start any new projects and put all non-essential communication on hold for a couple of days. Although developing a fresh perspective may create anxiety at first, the positive outcome makes all the trouble worthwhile. Listening to your heart is the first step to lasting satisfaction.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

You might have a tough time expressing your love toward someone who wants more attention from you. You could even decide to withdraw for a while, yet others don’t necessarily realize that you’re coming from a place of good intentions. Although you may actually be afraid of getting too close, you also don’t want to bother anyone with your shortcomings or doubts. Nevertheless, rationally facing your fears gives you a chance to break through an emotional barrier and deepen existing relationships.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Your health may be compromised now as you battle a cold or deal with a minor infection. Even if you are feeling great, it’s still wise to make some kind of improvement to your current exercise program. And if you’ve recently thought about making a change in your diet, don’t wait for a better time. Establishing new routines that increase your physical strength has a powerfully positive impact on your overall well-being.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Managing your schedule with a creative flair gives you a much-needed advantage for the next few days. Of course, you still must take care of your previous obligations, but with a little foresight you can find time for play while the Moon is lighting up your 5th House of Fun and Games. Your life is not just about being the most responsible one in the room. Whatever you do for enjoyment — whether engaging in sports, social activities or hobbies — make sure that you leave time to replenish your soul.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You might have to pay extra attention to a family matter today. Thankfully, the problem isn’t earth-shattering, but domestic responsibilities can still get in the way of other more enjoyable commitments. Don’t complain about what you must do; just prioritize your tasks and get started right away. You’ll be pleasantly surprised that with the right amount of determination you can finish nearly everything in less time than you thought possible. A positive attitude only helps to make the work more pleasurable along the way.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Taking care of unfinished business is a smart plan today, especially if you have been procrastinating for too long. The practical Capricorn Moon is visiting your 3rd House of Communication, so write those emails and make those phone calls needed to handle a lingering issue. Tying up loose ends requires concentration and commitment; however, you will surely feel good about your efforts once the day is over.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You may receive an unexpected benefit today from taking a risk and sharing your concerns with a friend about a personal failure or a disappointment. The supportive feedback you receive can cast your situation in a whole new light. The information you glean isn’t radically different; it’s just that you are more open to hearing the truth now. Paradoxically, expressing your vulnerability can ultimately improve your self-esteem and validate your trust in others.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Although you may be confident in your ability to accomplish your objectives today, you could find yourself in trouble if you take on more responsibilities than you can manage. If you’re not sure how much effort a task requires, talk it over with a coworker or friend before saying yes. Being self-assured enough to push your limits is admirable, but for now be as practical as possible. Setting clear boundaries earns you even more respect.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Don’t be too hard on yourself if reality feels somewhat boring today. Your current dreams are bigger than life, but they’re not necessarily a distraction. In fact, your fantasies may be your best ticket to understanding the future. You can explore alternative life paths by visualizing your future self right in the middle of the picture. Trust your intuition; let your mind wander now and create your strategy later.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

It doesn’t necessarily feel like work if you’re helping someone you love today. You may even be willing to go beyond the call of duty now. And although you might feel pleased about what you are doing for others, it’s crucial that you don’t go overboard. Taking your role as a superhero too seriously can leave you physically exhausted and emotionally depleted. Just remember to reserve some of your nurturing and pampering for yourself.

Your Weekend Love Horoscope for Feb. 21 – 23

Weekend Love Horoscope

February 21-23: Love Inspires

Maria DeSimone   Maria DeSimone on the topics of love, horoscopes, astrology

On Friday the Moon will be in sultry Scorpio, allowing your mysterious side to express itself beautifully to your mate — or to your first date! The Moon will be at a perfect angle to love planet Venus which will only support a delicious sex appeal factor. On Saturday however, the Moon makes her way into bouncy Sagittarius and your emotions will be fueled by faith more than mystique. You might crave an exotic experience on Saturday or Sunday, and it’ll be a great weekend to try out that restaurant with your mate that offers unusual cuisine from another culture. You might also think about what next adventure you can take together but don’t book any travel plans just yet — remember that Mercury is retrograde until February 28.

Still, on Sunday it’ll be clear that you’re romantically inspired thanks to the combination of a Sagittarius Moon and the Sun embracing Neptune in Pisces. Spend the day with your lover under the covers sleeping late, indulging in breakfast in bed or your other favorite between the sheets activity! Fantasy rules the day so be sure to share your greatest ones with your sweetheart.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for February 12th

At 12:00AM — as this day begins — Juno merges with Chiron at 12 degrees of Pisces. Put an emphasis on healing and uplifting primary partnerships that need sustenance and support right now. This may be easier said than done as the Moon parallels Saturn (12:28AM) while Mercury piles on by squaring Saturn (3:57AM) and the Moon then also forms the monthly conjunction with Saturn (5:44AM). Pushing the business envelope in any form is taboo.  The Moon in Scorpio is in void mode starting at 5:56AM and lasting over 13 hours until 7:14PM when the lunar orb enters upbeat, goal-oriented Sagittarius. Anticipate some stormy psychic weather and stubborn human emotions blocking forward progress during the void-of-course lunar cycle.  Once Sagittarius Moon materializes at 7:14PM, focus your gaze on reaching long-sought goals — particularly on the literary, educational and publishing fronts.

Love Astrology: Going Beyond Venus

Love Astrology: Going Beyond Venus

How planets and houses influence your love style

Maria DeSimone  Maria DeSimone on the topics of venus, planets, love, houses, astrology

 

We all know that Venus is the planet of love, harmony and affection. This is the planet that tells us about our powers of attraction. In a man’s chart it speaks volumes about the type of woman he’s physically attracted to, while in a woman’s chart we look to Venus for key information about what qualities she has she’ll use to attract a man.

Yes, Venus is also connected to the 7th House of Committed Partnership and Marriage, but did you know that there’s more to love than Venus? Way more.

Find dating clues in your 5th House of Romance

Love begins in the 5th House of Romance in your chart. This is the place of fun and pleasure. The 5th house rules romance and giving love. This is where we take a chance in life and gamble.

When it comes to love, wouldn’t you agree that it might be the most speculative bet of all? We risk our hearts being broken and having our spirits crushed. And yet, we continue to keep our hearts open because we know if we “win” the jackpot is huge. Our hearts filled with joy and love.

So yes, where you begin to date someone, fall in love and have romantic and fun sex is a 5th house of Romance matter. Any planets that are in your 5th house will offer more details about your love potential. Don’t have a planet in your 5th house? Not to worry — you’re not meant to be lonely. Your 5th house story just takes a bit more digging. You’ll need to look to the planet that rules the sign on the cusp of your 5th house for more information.

Mars rules your sex drive

Speaking of romantic love, invariably it will lead to sex. Before you have sex, however, you need to desire a person. That desire is where Mars enters the picture. This warrior planet is not only about action, it rules your libido. In a woman’s chart, Mars symbolizes the type of man she’s physically attracted to, whereas in a man’s chart Mars will tell us all we need to know about how he shakes his tail feathers and attracts a woman his way.

In either gender Mars will tell the story of how the person is aroused. Mars is what turns you on, pure and simple! Eventually, the love that begins in the 5th House of Romance might become more than a casual fling or dating fun. Love may blossom into commitment, and once it does it becomes a 7th House of Partnership matter. When love enters the domain of the 7th house, something interesting happens. Love gets deeper. Much deeper.

Going deeper in the 8th House of Sex

In fact, a committed partnership no longer has the carefree 5th-house sex. They’ve graduated to 8th House of Sex and Spirituality. The 8th house is all about intimacy and sharing your resources on a deep psychological level. You don’t do this on a one-night stand or in the early dating stages of a relationship. Once you’ve become exclusive and decide to share a life together, however, a deep bond is forged and can intensify love. That’s the job of the 8th house.

Fear of intimacy is conquered here. Interestingly enough, love that may be obsessive, jealous and controlling might lurk its ugly head in the 8th house, as well. The 8th House of Intimacy is where we figure out the power behind the bonds of love and learn how to surrender to it in a psychologically healthy way. Occasionally, this is where we are betrayed or become destroyed by love.

Neptune holds the key to unconditional love

Ideally, love is unconditional. For that, we look to Neptune, because this is the planet that is known as the higher octave of Venus, ruling unconditional and spiritual love.

If you want to know whether love can conquer all in your chart, look to see what Neptune is doing. If this planet makes an aspect to your Sun, Moon, Ascendant or Venus, then you’ve got a natural ability to love unconditionally. The question is … will you receive that in return?

The Moon illuminates our emotional needs

The Moon is also quite important when we speak of love. The Moon rules our deepest need — what we crave. We all crave love, but the Moon will tell us how we need to be nurtured.

In a woman’s chart the Moon is an important indicator of what she needs in order to feel most attuned to her feminine self. In a man’s chart, the Moon suggests qualities he needs emotionally more than anything else from a woman.

Mercury: The key to communication

Finally, what’s love without communication? If you can’t talk about love and express your feelings, well, love may have a more difficult time reaching you. Look to your Mercury placement for clues on what you think about most and how you best interconnect with others.

In the end however, love is a universal language. Venus may be the key to love, but remember she’s not the entire story

Your Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, January 27th

There are consequences to sharing our feelings and the Moon’s entry into cautious Capricorn at 12:04 am EST warns us to weigh the benefits and risks before raising an emotionally charged subject. But the Moon runs into resistance from six planets, forcing us to address complex dynamics at home and at work. Planning ahead seems like a smart strategy, but we must be ready for the unexpected since we can’t control the flow of every conversation.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Expressing your best intentions might lead you down a dead-end street today. Unfortunately, you are not free to do as you please just because you mean well. Reprioritize your responsibilities and plan your day accordingly. You can still find time to enjoy yourself, but you’ll feel better about squeezing in some fun if you don’t have to worry about what you should have done earlier.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

Even your boss might not be able to change your mind today, no matter how much he or she tries. Unfortunately, neither cool logic nor an emotional appeal seems to work. Ultimately, the choice is yours; nevertheless, it’s wiser to remain open to fresh input from someone who is an authority on the subject. Remember, you may have a great strategy in place, but there are still those who know more than you. Keep an open mind and a receptive heart.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

Although you probably want to do your own thing today, you still wish you could meet other people’s expectations, too. However, your natural tendency to remain uncommitted gives way to a more immediate need to be practical now. Don’t waste precious energy fighting about the wrong issues. Think about the amount of effort you want to devote to a potential conflict and then do what makes the most sense in the immediate moment.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

All types of relationships are emphasized today as the Moon shifts into your 7th House of Partners, reflecting the feelings of those closest to you. Instead of responding to the current situation based upon your own needs, you must also consider what others want. Unfortunately, it can be a struggle to integrate someone else’s point of view into your perspective now. Nevertheless, compromise is still a smarter alternative to acting on your own.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You know exactly what must be accomplished today, even if it seems overwhelming at first. Your original plans may be quite different from what actually needs to happen, but avoiding your responsibilities isn’t a smart idea. Keep in mind that you still have to meet your commitments sooner or later. You can enjoy yourself more if you get them out of the way earlier in the day. Work now, play later.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your approach to your job isn’t based only on effectiveness and efficiency today. Instead, you’re also likely to consider what brings you joy. Ironically, taking yourself too seriously now can actually be counterproductive. Although you’re often willing to narrow your focus and complete the tasks at hand, you might actually be more productive now if you are having fun.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Taking care of your personal needs might require a lot of your time today and could interfere with your previous commitments. Unfortunately, you may not be able to get out of fulfilling your obligations, and it isn’t worth turning your current resistance into a major conflict. Instead of burying your desire to have a good time, just postpone the fun and games until you have demonstrated your willingness to be responsible.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your hectic schedule might not leave a lot of room for idle daydreaming today. Although you prefer having unstructured time by yourself for contemplation, you’re more likely to be pulled into a series of intense interactions that ultimately define your day. It may feel like you have a difficult path ahead, but there’s also a lot of good that could come out of processing your emotions through constructive dialogue. The give and take of conversation sets the stage for positive transformation.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You may choose to stand up to a bully at work today because you are sure of your plan, even if it’s contrary to the general consensus. Your associates might be satisfied with finding the easiest way out, but you could be quite obstinate now in your intention to value truth over convenience. Although your idealism is admirable, you can easily take it too far. There’s no need to be so self-righteous that you can’t see the acceptable common ground you’re already standing upon.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You could get so carried away with your own ambitions now that you lose track of the most practical path and end up making a wrong turn. The Moon’s current visit to your hardworking sign can turn a simple task into a major project today before you even realize what happened. Don’t set goals that are so lofty they’re unreachable. Maintaining a sensible approach to your job is possible if you focus on the task at hand instead of the final destination.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Sometimes your fantasies are like scenes out of a science fiction movie and seem to have little basis in reality. Now, however, your dreams can hold the key to your immediate future because your imagination is being fed directly by your everyday experiences. Don’t try to rein in your thoughts; patiently let them wander as they will. Paying attention to the messages from your subconscious just might lead you to a wonderfully useful treasure.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You might be so positive about what comes next that you find yourself defending your plans against someone at work today. It may feel as if others are being overly aggressive, but it’s more likely that you don’t want to face any negativity at all. Don’t avoid the facts just because it makes sticking to your strategy easier to justify. It’s crucial to acknowledge any errors in judgment as soon as possible any apologize if necessary. If you have missed something important, modify your strategy and get back to work.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Monday, January 27th

We are inspired to put our best foot forward today and live our lives to the fullest potential. Normally, we become more upbeat when the Moon visits adventurous Sagittarius. We might even try to sidestep uncomfortable details in favor of considering the overall picture. Fortunately, the Moon’s cooperative sextiles to superhero Mars and messenger Mercury help us to follow through on the conversations we start, even if we run into disagreements.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

On the surface it seems as if everything is coming up roses today, but there is more going on than is apparent. It’s great that you have so much happening within the realms of your imagination now. Your dreams are motivational, as long as you continue to clearly distinguish between reality and fantasy. Others see you as competent and they believe your actions are straightforward, but you may be more uncertain than anyone realizes. Acknowledge your true feelings, but don’t let them impede your progress.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

Although there may be a lot to finish at work today, you are determined to deliver on your promises. Push as hard as you can early in the day, since you might grow weary earlier than you expect. Fortunately, you’re capable of handling everything that’s thrown at you now, even if you inadvertently get involved in more than you should. But remember to take some time off once you complete your tasks; being extra nice to yourself this evening is a just reward for a job well done.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

An angel may fly to your rescue today, whether you need the assistance or not. But in any case, accepting help is wise because it can deepen the bond of friendship. Don’t worry if another person’s involvement slightly reduces your efficiency. Ultimately, it’s not about increasing your production now; it’s about improving your relationships. Learning to graciously receive is a gift in itself.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Performing your job well feels exceptionally satisfying today. You don’t even need acknowledgment from others; the fruit of your labor is reward enough for you now. Nevertheless, fulfillment may be elusive if you think that you should be pursuing a different line of work. Fortunately, opportunities are lurking right in front of your nose, and if you are clever enough you could turn one of them into a new direction in your current career.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Although you could sail through the day with a smile on your face, it’s more productive to channel your positive attitude into a creative endeavor. Either way, it’s an uplifting time, but you might as well have something to show off when all is said and done. However, don’t isolate yourself from everyone else; collaborating with others now can open doors to a colorful new world.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You can’t approach your work in the same manner as you did last week because something has changed and the old methods are not as effective anymore. Thankfully, you could become inspired and invent an entirely new and original way of doing your job. Don’t worry if your idea is the best one or not. For now, just trying something different may be enough to break the ice and stir the energy in a positive direction.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You might experience an exciting burst of energy today, but you have to take a risk in order to make the most of it. It’s crucial to keep yourself motivated, for if you become lazy, you could miss a significant opportunity. Forget about taking the tried and true path to success now. Carpediem; if you want to accomplish anything extraordinary, you must set your comfort aside, step out of the box and do something you’ve never done before.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

This could be a much better day than you anticipate as something especially nice comes your way. Of course, any unexpected pleasant experience would be welcome, but finding a bargain, receiving a cash windfall or making a new friend positively impacts your life. However, you must be in a receptive frame of mind now or the good news might pass you by unnoticed. Adopting a grateful attitude invites more blessings into your world.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your life is overflowing with an array of wonderful possibilities now. However, your excitement won’t automatically manifest tangible results unless you set the stage for their expression by establishing goals and working hard to achieve them. Your acts of generosity will be returned, but probably not quite as you expect. Demonstrate your strength of character by being open to change.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You woke up with a happy song in your head today, but oddly enough it’s challenging to put your finger on the source of your optimism. It’s as if you know something awesome is going to happen, but you don’t know what it is or why you are so sure of it. Don’t waste a lot of time trying to deconstruct your instincts now; instead, just act as if your hunch is correct and keep singing. Your faith may be enough to alter your future in a positive manner.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Your social calendar might light up today, since the Moon is now visiting your 11th House of Friends and Community. Although the Moon’s journey doesn’t actually increase your popularity, you don’t have to try so hard to be included in every fun activity. You could exude more charisma than you realize now and your assertive style might even seem aggressive unless you consciously tone down your approach. Enjoy the camaraderie but be sure to share the spotlight to keep everyone happy.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your outward behavior doesn’t tell the whole story now, since your actions seem to be all about your career. Nevertheless, the winds of fate are blowing in unusual directions and they can carry you toward an unexpected destination. Fortunately, the outcome is likely to be better than you think, so don’t bother to resist the shifting currents. Keep your spirits up even if you’re heading into unknown territory; your thoughts are creating your tomorrow before it arrives.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Friday, January 24th

We have a solid connection between our thoughts and our behavior today. We walk our talk now that mental Mercury forms a harmonious trine with go-getter Mars. Our physical energy is connected to our brains, for better or for worse. However, mind over matter is good news only when our thinking is sound. Fortunately, the powerful Scorpio Moon forms several smooth aspects this afternoon, intensifying our passions and turning our ideas into actions.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may avoid the most direct path to your goals now because you enjoy the interesting diversions that others present along the way. Although it’s not easy to concentrate, today you could benefit from a concerted effort to stay focused. Ultimately, exercising self-discipline is more effective than following someone else’s demand that you obey the rules. Accept your responsibilities as a challenge; you can earn respect by sticking to the program and fulfilling your commitments

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

A close friend might disappoint you today and you could even feel betrayed and angry at first. Nevertheless, the Moon’s presence in your 7th House of Others urges you to reconsider your initial reaction. Let go of any outmoded emotional responses, for you have a chance to make important changes now that can ultimately increase your security rather than jeopardizing it. Reassessing what you want from a relationship is a good place to start.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

Keep your chin up and work hard today, even if your chores aren’t very satisfying. The rewards will arrive later on if you take care of the toughest jobs now. But this isn’t about going against the grain or bucking the system. Even if you believe you have a smarter way to run things, you’re better off to follow a traditional path and obey those with authority until you have completed your obligations. Whistle while you work and you’ll be done before you know it.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Oddly enough, taking care of your responsibilities might lead to a romantic opportunity today, or, at least, an enjoyable encounter. You may feel overly cautious about overstepping social boundaries, nevertheless, don’t rule out the possibility of getting more personal with an acquaintance. Just remember, pushiness won’t work in your favor; a friendly gesture is enough to get your message across. Then wait to see what develops before making your next move.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You are often the most sociable one in your group, but you may do well to pass on the party invitation now that the Moon is moving through your 4th House of Emotional Security. Of course you still want to enjoy yourself, but your contemplative state of mind suggests that an evening at home alone or with your family might be more in sync with your current mood. Taking some quality time for yourself today may be enough to put you back in a more outgoing attitude by tomorrow.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Although you might offer your best ideas to someone else today, your assistance may not be too well received. It doesn’t matter that your intentions are honorable; a simple comment can be taken as a serious criticism. Going out of your way to share positive words and gentle encouragement along with your suggestions gives you a better chance of being heard now. Your kindness will be appreciated more than you think.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

The emphasis on your financial picture continues with the reflective Moon still traveling through your 2nd House of Personal Resources. If you are thinking about making a large purchase, consider the long-term value of your possible acquisition. If it isn’t a good deal, let it go or try negotiating a price that you could more readily afford. Remember, there’s a big difference between what you want and what you actually need.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

It’s time to focus on yourself for a while by putting sensible limits on your social activities and commitments. Exercising self-restraint makes you more effective today and could even simplify your life in ways you never imagined. You may be tempted to start something new, but it’s wiser to wait a few days before forging ahead. Instead of scattering your energy now, concentrate on making practical plans to reach your personal goals.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You might need to adjust your plans today due to circumstances beyond your control. And even if you don’t have to reschedule your entire day, it’s still possible to lose your cool if something throws you out of rhythm. Remaining light on your feet helps you maintain your balance now, for an unexpected turn of events could be a blessing in disguise. Luckily, you may be released from an unwanted obligation and end up having more time to yourself. Stay calm and keep your sense of humor close at hand.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

A group of your friends may want to include you in their fun plans, but you aren’t so quick to say yes today. The secretive Scorpio Moon is approaching somber Saturn in your 11th House of Community, encouraging self-restraint when it comes to socializing in a group setting. Don’t judge yourself too harshly if you’re feeling reclusive. Honor your needs by graciously declining the invitation and creating an evening just for you. Indulge yourself and be gentle with your heart.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Someone’s great idea might catch your attention today, but think carefully before committing your energy and lending a helping hand. It might sound like an exciting project at first, but it could turn into more of a burden than you want to take on. However, if you reject a colleague’s plan, spend extra time with that person explaining your decision, so he or she doesn’t feel hurt by your refusal. A bit of diplomacy can fix a problem before it even manifests.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You are on quite a philosophical roll while the Moon zips through your 9th House of Big Ideas. Step back and take a long-term picture of your life so you can get a fresh view on what’s currently happening. Look for any unhealthy patterns that you missed when you were too busy to notice them. For now, the lessons you learn along the way are more important than reaching your destination.

Your Weekend Love Horoscope for Jan. 24 – 26

Weekend Love Horoscope

January 24-26: Verbal Agreements

Maria DeSimone  Maria DeSimone on the topics of love, horoscopes, astrology

 

The Moon will pass through intense Scorpio on Friday and into Saturday night, making love a serious, all-consuming matter. If there’s someone you’re crushing on, it’s possible that you’ll courageously initiate a conversation on Friday thanks to a direct trine between Mercury and Mars. Actions speak louder than words but on this day you’ll be willing to speak up about your feelings and take action to help determine whether or not they are mutual.

On Saturday however, Mercury will square off with Saturn and you might suddenly lose your nerve so be sure to act on Friday. The Moon will move into Sagittarius late Saturday and remain there all day Sunday lighting the mood considerably.

Consider a date that involves something adventurous with your sweetheart. Whether it’ll be bungee jumping or dinner at an exotic restaurant is your call.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Wednesday, Jan. 22nd

If you find yourself huffing and puffing more than usual as you go about your daily work and errands, blame it on lunar square patterns of 90-degrees to Pluto (3:54AM), Jupiter (6:21AM) and Venus (10:07AM). The square aspect can sometimes be empowering, but most of the time, it suggests that an internal obstacle to forward progress must first be faced, understood and eliminated before you can regain positive momentum in your life.  Communications look promising — particularly around 4:01PM when the lunar orb trines Mercury in air signs. The Moon makes its monthly union with the red planet Mars — this month in Libra — at 7:52PM. However, this potent and somewhat volatile conjunction also launches a void lunar cycle that stays influential until tomorrow at 1:45PM when the Moon enters the intense waters of Scorpio. Avoid rash, dare-devil behavior in any form overnight. [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Standard Time.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, Jan. 21

Everything may appear to fall into place now, but it’s not wise to raise our hopes up too high. The Moon’s shift into fair-minded Libra at 7:43 am EST enables us to view life more objectively. However, the Moon’s harsh aspects to communicator Mercury and stern Saturn reveal that we can fall short of our goals today. Fortunately, the Moon’s harmonious trine to the radiant Sun aligns our feelings with our actions and boosts our confidence.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You are quite eager to go along with your friends today because you can imagine the potential for new experiences wherever you look. Luckily, it’s natural to set aside your own agenda while doing what makes the most sense for everyone involved. But you must take time and figure out how to meet your needs, too. Unfortunately, trusting someone with your fate grows more difficult each hour that you hesitate. Find the magical balance between waiting for the right moment and missing your chance.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

Establishing a brand new schedule for your diet and exercise routine might be tricky, especially if you’re secretly comfortable with your current state of affairs. Although you may be more certain about what you want, you still could find it hard to motivate yourself to change. Gathering more data is not necessary, for you probably have already done enough research. Anything healthy you do now can lead to an improvement in your physical well-being, so the sooner you take action, the better.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

You might think that everything is rolling your way today; unfortunately, the logistics become more complicated as time goes on. Even if it seems as if there’s a lot of potential enjoyment just around the next corner, you can’t think about playtime until you’ve handled your responsibilities. Fortunately, once you’re finished with all your obligations, you’re game for just about anything. Work extra hard so you have time to pursue something more pleasurable later on.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

It’s a good thing if you’re feeling flexible today because you might have to change your plans more than once. Domestic tension may be heating up and you could be required to step in and mediate a family disagreement. However, the current problem isn’t about someone being right and someone else being wrong. Concentrate your attention on helping everyone involved reach common ground, even if their perspectives still differ on a fundamental issue.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You’re able to deftly navigate your way through a complex interaction with conflicting groups of people today. Although everyone is stubbornly holding on to a different set of interests, your intervention may be sufficient to energetically shift the entire dynamic. On another day, you might have just given up and let it all play out on its own. Fortunately, you can maintain control now while still appearing as if you don’t have your hands on the steering wheel.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Instead of doubting your recent decision any longer, accept your previous judgment as being logically sound. It’s already well past the time to consider whether or not to proceed. You have moved beyond the point of no return, even if you’re still experiencing uncertainty. There’s no need to question your choices again; consciously shift your awareness now from the subjective inner realms toward taking the next steps on your journey.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Don’t waste time worrying about making a final choice today; instead use your current ambiguity to express yourself in a creative manner. Sometimes it’s critical to demonstrate your leadership style by behaving with clear authority, but now you are appreciated even more when you’re honest about your crisis of confidence. Be open and take whatever time is necessary to share your concerns rather than just leaving everyone in the dark.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You are often tempted to sink into the recesses of your own subconscious mind. On occasion these inner journeys might be overwhelming and could even pull you into deep emotional turmoil. However, today you can dance around the edges of the shadows with ease as the Moon travels through your 12th House of Imagination. Let your feelings go and follow your dreams.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You may unexpectedly find yourself in an intense power struggle when dealing with friends today. However, your relationships can be positively impacted by the social Libra Moon’s visit to your 11th House of Groups, where it alleviates some of the pressure you are experiencing. It doesn’t matter in the long run how you feel right now; just keep meeting your professional commitments with integrity and don’t worry about coming out on top. You currently have a better chance of succeeding if you remember not to take things so personally.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Leading by example may be especially challenging today as long as you continue to change your mind from minute to minute. It’s difficult to trust your decisions now, even if you have the intuitive data that you want to justify your choices. But don’t get hung up looking for a final answer to any one particular question. Just respond in the moment to the best of your current ability and be ready to move on.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You appear quite intense now that the willful Sun is traveling along in your sign. Luckily, today the Sun is receiving support from the Moon in fellow air sign, Libra. However, you could also feel dreamier than usual, as if your wishes have a life of their own. Be bold and take action as needed; just remember that karmic Saturn will judge you harshly if you believe that escape through fantasy is a viable option.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You have a bit of magic up your sleeve, and luckily it is there today when you need it most. Even if you are required to deal with powerful people who might be investing in your success, there’s no reason to be intimidated. Just stay fully present with your truth because maintaining your integrity sets the stage for successfully managing issues that will demand resolution in the near future.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Monday, January 20th

Put more heart and soul into your artistic creations — courtesy of a trine in earth signs between the Moon in Virgo and Venus in Capricorn (1:43AM). Keep track of the fact that Venus is still retrograde until the last day of January.  In the meantime, the little things in life can either make or break your day. Small is beautiful becomes your motto whenever the lunar orb energizes the sixth sign of the zodiac. Stock up on cereals, grains, veggies, fruit, vitamins, seeds, nuts and seasonings.  The Moon in Virgo begins a void cycle at 12:56PM that continues until 4:44AM tomorrow morning when the Moon enters airy Libra. Even though there is a substantial void lunar cycle happening, the Sun’s entry into Aquarius last night can shine a powerful beam of light into the realm of arcane knowledge and the wisdom teachings of ancient civilizations.
