Weekend Love Horoscopes

October 11-13: Radical Expansion

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

A serious Capricorn Moon on Friday night may hold you back from reaching for what you most hope for in love — but it’ll only be temporary. By Saturday the Moon will sail into Aquarius and your mood will shift from sobriety to “anything is possible.”

It’s not the Moon alone that will be responsible for this shift. The Sun in relationship-oriented Libra will connect to Jupiter, offering plenty of hope to expand your world socially and romantically. Because the Moon will be in altruistic Aquarius, you’ll reveal the side of you that’s more eccentric and distinctive with ease. Fortunately, the freedom to love who, what and when you please will be supported on Saturday. Times ten.

On Sunday, you’ll still want to radically expand the realm of possibilities between you and your love, but it’ll have to be achieved after you and your mate tend to an order of business. The laundry still needs washing.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday, October 9th

We are enthusiastic about life and are ready to take more risks now, especially if we believe that an opportunity could lead to a memorable experience. We can feel the positive energy from today’s inspirational Sagittarius Moon, even if we’re still dealing with the consequences of yesterday’s challenges. However, impulsive behavior might take us on a detour as we approach tomorrow’s stressful square between beautiful Venus and foggy Neptune.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Although you’re feeling confident about a recent decision, your newly rediscovered optimism could make your energy a little too much to handle. Others may quickly grow tired of hearing your exaggerated tales about your amazing life. Temper your excitement with a strong dose of compassion for others. Scaling back your enthusiasm just a little bit creates a harmonious environment that inspires healthier relationships.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

You’re not very shy about your desire to deepen the level of emotional commitment with a very close friend or intimate partner today. Although your straightforward approach may be startling at first, others might be receptive to your ideas once they adjust to your style of direct communication. Being aware of someone’s boundaries doesn’t come easily to you now, but demonstrating respect builds stronger trust in the relationship. Be brave and authentic: take a chance and express what’s in your heart.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

You might not be so quick to head off on your own today, since the idea of working with a buddy sounds quite appealing. The Moon’s presence in your 7th House of Relationships shifts the energy away from your personal needs, making you more conscious of what others are thinking. Keep in mind that your discrimination skills may be lacking, so exercise extra caution when choosing who you connect with now, professionally or romantically. You don’t have to follow every whim to be happy.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

It’s exhilarating to think you can power your way through your chores today and still have enough time left over to unwind with some friends. Unfortunately, you could underestimate how long it takes to accomplish your work. Make certain that you allow plenty of extra time, for if you leave a task unfinished, you may not be able to relax fully, just knowing there is more to do. Managing your calendar wisely improves your efficiency and increases your chances for fun.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You’re ready to kick up your heels and have a great time today, even if you haven’t fully met your obligations. Unfulfilled responsibilities don’t have to prevent you from having a memorable experience. You might be so excited in the moment that you’re ready to do whatever is necessary to enjoy yourself. If you must leave some chores undone, at least let others know that you are cutting out early and remember to come back and finish up tomorrow. Play now, work later.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

If you are working too hard, it’s time to start claiming your slice of the fun. But the Moon is in your 4th House of Roots, suggesting it might be nice to hide out at home instead of going out to play. You may even end up undertaking a simple domestic project or, perhaps, inviting a friend over to share some quality conversation. Home is where the heart is.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Controlling your restlessness is complicated today as the exuberant Sagittarius Moon visits your 3rd House of Short Trips. You might even make an extra run to the store or head out to the park during lunchtime just to get out of the house or escape from work. Don’t be too self-critical if you haven’t made much progress by the end of the day. If you’re having trouble concentrating now, it’s probably smart to just call it quits and pick up the pieces tomorrow.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You might be riding high on positive emotions today and feeling confident enough to spend a bit of money on something special. You may have suddenly grown more optimistic about your income potential, allowing you to justify a luxury purchase now. However, it’s still smarter to wait and see how you’re feeling in a few days before making a large expenditure that you could later regret. Sometimes the best things in life really are free.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You are more in touch with your own vulnerability now, since the receptive Moon is hanging out in your sign all day. However, you’re still likely to take an emotional gamble today and reveal your feelings to someone special. But just telling people about your needs or fears is only one part of the equation. Real intimacy has two sides, so make sure to leave room for the other person to share his or her heart, too.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Normally, it doesn’t make sense to keep your optimism to yourself, and yet it may be the most socially astute thing you can do now. You might think your overconfidence could offend someone and you want to avoid any trouble today as you rally support for an idea of yours. Thankfully, your diplomatic skills are currently polished enough to take you far if you trust your instincts and do whatever you believe is best.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Your vivid imagination is running on overdrive now and it’s exciting to share your dreams with like-minded people. The Moon is traveling through your 11th House of Groups, prodding you to surround yourself with supportive friends and associates. With just a little extra effort today, you can create exactly the kind of congenial atmosphere you crave. A party might be the perfect venue to find the camaraderie you now want, but a smaller and more intimate gathering could work just as well. It’s the connections you make and not the places that matter.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Passionately defending your social values or political beliefs can be quite empowering today, whether it’s at work, home or in your community. Keep in mind that fulfilling your responsibilities in the present moment is more important than daydreaming about unrealistic possibilities. Nevertheless, your unique perspective inspires others, so there’s no need to hold back now when sharing your visions about the future. Seize the day by being the creative leader that everyone wants to follow.

Your Daily Cosmic Calendar for October 8th

As mentioned in yesterday’s calendar entry, it is wise to curtail decision-making in the early going today as a lingering void lunar cycle in Scorpio (until 5:23AM) combines with a potentially surprising-shocking 150-degree tie between Mercury and Uranus (12:12AM). It is better to rest, sleep or take a time-out than to pursue objectives without considering the consequences. In general, when a void lunar uncertainty zone occurs with one or more highly-charged and difficult celestial alignments, it is wise to refrain from taking forceful actions that are more likely to fail than succeed.  The good news this morning starts arriving once the Moon enters ebullient, fiery Sagittarius (5:23AM) and then unites with Venus (6:57AM). Utilize this lunar rapport with Venus to spring forward with artistic and social ventures. Erotic, romantic vibrations are also on the upswing.  However, 5+ hours after the Moon-Venus rendezvous in the heavens, a very different alignment takes center stage when Mercury unites with Saturn in Scorpio (12:40PM). There is always a serious component to any Mercury-Saturn merger and this conjunction will repeat on October 29 and November 25 due to the upcoming Mercury retrograde cycle occurring from October 21 to November 10.  Mercury with Saturn — while sometimes veering toward pessimism and worry — can provide genius on the professional front and especially regarding understanding mathematics and physics. [Albert Einstein was born with an exact Mercury-Saturn union in pioneering Aries.] Look for breakthroughs in higher consciousness and the arrival of intuitive flashes of insight as the Moon trines Uranus (10:56PM). [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.]
