Your Daily Horoscopes for Friday, Aug. 23

We’re eager to jump into the next thing once the Moon moves into impulsive Aries at 3:12 am EDT. However, we may think twice before doing anything since the willful Sun and intellectual Mercury are currently shifting into practical Virgo. Our instinct is to say yes, but we’re smart enough to finish our analysis before taking actions that we might regret. It’s highly likely that circumstances will become more complicated before they are resolved.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You might be too nervous to feel the emotions behind your own words today, even though the Moon’s return to Aries usually put you more in touch with your moods. Your current uneasiness arises from your inability to express yourself as clearly as you wish. Every time you say something, it seems that you are misunderstood. Don’t struggle to explain your motives now; wait a few days and try again. In the meantime, let your actions tell your story for the most positive impact.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

Knowing that you may be reading the signals wrong today tempts you to fill in the missing information with what you think to be true. Unfortunately, your uncertainty can raise fear, prompting you to doubt yourself even more. Instead of trying to categorize everything as either black or white, remember how much of your world is actually various shades of gray. Allowing for many possible interpretations increases your chances of finding happiness.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

You might be more interested in your connections with coworkers and acquaintances today than you are in accomplishing much on your own. It isn’t that you are lazy; it’s just that you prefer to put your energy toward enjoying your interactions with others and creating new relationships instead of doing what’s expected of you. Although you may have a lot of fun with your friends now, don’t forget to round out your day by leaving some time for quiet self-reflection, too.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Dreaming up new ways to approach your work can help you alleviate any boredom that has crept into your life. Although you could distract yourself for a while, following your curiosity doesn’t necessarily resolve your basic questions about life. Today, however, it’s more important to meet your obligations as they arise. Thankfully, you will have ample opportunity throughout the year to explore new territory and redefine your long-term goals.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

A relentless string of responsibilities continues to remind you of the seriousness of life, and you can already tell that there’s significant change in the air. It may take a while for the current transformation to occur, so don’t panic if you feel like there is still too much work to do now and not enough time. Focus all your attention on tying up loose ends today. Clearing the energy allows you to take advantage of the upcoming opportunities.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Although you may try to maintain clarity in communication, you might as well acknowledge that the muse has come to visit you today. Even if you don’t normally write poetry, your thoughts are more in sync with your imagination now than they are with reality. However, blurting things out creates problems because your symbol-rich language paints pictures instead of telling stories. Don’t force your communications into overly formal presentations. Just describe what you see in your mind’s eye and let the magic unfold.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Today’s assertive Aries Moon encourages you to express your desires, instead of trying to accommodate the needs of another person. Of course, a successful relationship benefits from your willingness to balance your partner’s energies with your own. Naturally, you err by leaning toward what others want. Now it’s time to go out on a limb and share your thoughts with someone you trust. Nevertheless, it’s wise to remain detached from the outcome as much as possible. Honest communication is the key to satisfaction.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Although you want to plow ahead with an ambitious plan, you may have to stop to make an adjustment or two so you can get others to help you along the way. Even if you’re tempted to undertake the project by yourself, you can accomplish much more by working as part of a team. Your current dependency is not a weakness; it’s only temporary, so make the most of the support you receive while it’s available. The energy of the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

It seems as if your life is all about your career now, but surface appearances only tell part of the story. You’re yearning for some good old-fashioned fun while the Moon is hanging out in your 5th House of Spontaneity. Luckily, you’re able to have a fine time, but there could be a high price to pay unless you meet your obligations first. Although it may be hard to restrain your adventurous nature, wait a few more days before unilaterally freeing yourself from the shackles of responsibility. Work hard; play harder later.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You probably have a great deal of social responsibilities this weekend, and a supportive anchor on the home front can give you the ability to deepen your roots without necessarily feeling trapped by them. Creating a fertile ground in your personal life adds to your emotional security. This, in turn, affords you the stability you need to accomplish great things at work or out in the community

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

The more you try to get things under control today, the crazier they become, turning this day inside out. You might be running around in circles trying to keep up, but paradoxically, your anxiety diminishes once you loosen your grip on the reins. You won’t be able to complete everything you start in a timely fashion, yet your need to do so may be less urgent than it seems. Maintaining your sense of humor allows you to adapt to the changing circumstances with admirable grace.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your emotions may be directly linked to your material possessions today. If you are doubting your own abilities, you could be tempted to engage in retail therapy to make yourself feel better. Unfortunately, this self-indulgence is not a viable solution; it’s merely a distraction from the real issues. Instead of spending any money, search for the underlying cause of your dissatisfaction. Once you get to the bottom of your angst, you can do something positive about it.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Thursday, July 25th

Self-confidence is wonderful, but too much of a good thing can be problematic now as the imaginative Pisces Moon harmonizes with excessive Jupiter, assertive Mars and talkative Mercury. Once again, the magic dance between make-it-real Saturn and make-it-up Neptune inspires us to realize our dreams. However, communication is vital to reach our goals. Even if we’re feeling optimistic about the future, our behavior is likely to be more conservative.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You’re riding on a high horse today and you might not be willing to heed the advice of anyone else. Unfortunately, you could be your own worst enemy if you also forget to listen to your heart. If you are absolutely certain about your recent choices, it may be difficult to even consider someone’s negative feelings simmering beneath the surface now. Slow down just enough to hear your inner voice since it’s healthier to integrate emotions as they arise. Once you’re in sync with yourself it’s easier to be more mindful of others.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

You have something important to get off your chest today. Fortunately, a little compassion will go a long way when it comes to sharing your thoughts. It’s not that you are being particularly insensitive, but your feelings are inflated and you may be so emphatic in your expression that others can’t understand what you are trying to say. Step back and take a few breaths before flying off the handle. The good news is that speaking your truth will work out for the best if you remember that everyone is ultimately on the same team.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

Pay close attention to your pocketbook, for your inclination now is toward extravagance. The problem is that you may feel so confident that everything appears to be coming up roses. But be careful … you can tend toward overspending what you have or over-committing what you do not have. If you remember to respect your limits and apply your enthusiasm to the details, you will end up in a much better financial position. A penny saved is a penny earned.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Other people may encourage you today while still secretly plotting against you. Perhaps a coworker or acquaintance is being extra nice to you now in an effort to cover his or her own tracks. Luckily, you’re capable of doing magic regardless of anyone else’s actions. Instead of wondering what is going on behind the scenes, just give your best performance. Luckily, your enthusiasm and talent, combined with a relentless determination, empowers you to breeze right past an ill-conceived roadblock, impressing your audience along the way.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

The greatest thoughts are of little value unless they are brought out into the open for everyone to see. Share your creative ideas now, for they are more worthwhile than you realize. Recognizing your own power enables you to motivate an entire group by what you choose to say. Even if your innovation becomes unrecognizable as it evolves, you can still feel happy about contributing to the process. Sometimes being a catalyst is the most important role you can play.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Turning up the volume on your own intuitive voice today prevents you from responding too quickly to the actions of others. You will be better off by acting on what you actually need, but you must quiet down enough to figure out how you really feel. Timing is everything … swing into action once you truly know what your heart wants. Your exuberance is contagious and you could end up leading the pack. Even if your idea is a bit of a gamble, it still can work out as long as it’s grounded in reality.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

It may feel like you’ve been treading water recently, without making much progress. Now, however, the tide is shifting, the clouds are lifting, and you can see blue sky and many possibilities on the horizon. Still, you have a big choice in front of you that may determine which way you should go. It’s challenging to make this kind of life-changing decision, but not because you lack confidence or conviction. Instead, it’s simply because you cannot do everything all at once. Fortunately, the process of elimination helps you narrow your options.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You are drawing your personal power from a deep well today, and others can’t help but stand up and take notice. You may find yourself embroiled in a conflict with someone close to you because of your current intensity. Thankfully, an unpleasant situation can be resolved to everyone’s benefit if you choose to travel the high road of integrity. A lively debate or even sexual fireworks with an intimate partner could open a path to a happy resolution.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

It’s not easy to relinquish control, yet you should come out ahead if you moderate the expectations you place on yourself. Nevertheless, it’s so tempting to get swept up in someone’s grandiose scheme today that you can promise the sky before you realize what happened. Set your goals high enough to motivate yourself, but not so high that you end up discouraged. It’s better to build a strong foundation than a hastily constructed tower.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You are on a personal mission and have specific tasks to complete today. Woe to anyone who gets in your way as you try to complete your appointed rounds. It’s a special gift to have the inner drive needed to do the work, even though there may be little recognition now for a job well done. It’s okay … you really don’t need any peer acknowledgment to feel good about yourself. Nevertheless, continue on your path without worrying about everyone else. Ultimately, your work will speak for itself.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Quite a lot of change is being packed into a short amount of time these days. Yesterday, you weren’t sure about a relationship. Today, you are raring to go and there is no holding you back. If you are already involved with someone special, you can enjoy the day as you combine your romantic optimism with a practical approach to make things last. Or if there’s a new person catching your eye, you could be ready to make your move. In any event, your spontaneity might set you on a new and exciting course.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, November 20

We may think that we know what we want, but could grow confused midday by our own dreams and fears. The day starts with a clever Aquarius Moon but her shift into compassionate Pisces at 11:54 am EST replaces intellect with intuition. Our emotions deepen, putting us in closer touch with our subconscious desires. The Moon’s afternoon conjunction with spiritual Neptune is countered by her harmonious trine to practical Saturn later this evening.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Your feelings are a bit fuzzy today and every time you dip in to test the emotional waters, you come back up with a different reading of what’s happening. You’re not happy about something now, but it’s difficult to put your finger on the source of your worries. Be courageous and share your concerns with someone you trust, even if you don’t know where the conversation may go.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

Just as the truth begins to dawn on you today, it slips away as if it isn’t ready to reveal itself yet. There are serious discussions that must take place first. Nevertheless, steer clear of the emotional landmines that might trigger conflicts about control and power. Listen to your instincts before expressing your heart.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

It’s crucial to stay on top of the details today, especially at work. Little things can be buried in ways that make them seem less obvious, but they are more important than you realize. Don’t try anything underhanded, for your motives will be all too transparent. Too much information may be coming your way, but if you pay diligent attention now you should be able to put it all into place.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Today the focus is not on your external world. You are in touch with a very wide range of emotions that have pulled you into the rapidly changing currents. You might feel as if you’re in over your head, but only if you dwell on the past too long. Supportive people are on your side now and will come to your rescue if you need it. Go ahead and explore the deep waters of your feelings; it’s much safer than you think.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You may feel stress as you attempt to balance your outward appearance with your inner feelings today. You have a natural tendency to act your way through a difficult situation, but now your inner voice is telling you not to sweep your emotions under the rug. Although it might not be time to shake everything up, you can feel the pressure building. Don’t rush the process; the time for change is near.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Relationship issues intensify today as the Moon enters your 7th House of Others. You may be driven to deal with an uncomfortable feeling that has been brewing for quite some time. There are thoughts that you’ve been hiding just beneath your awareness, probably because they are inconvenient to bring out into the open. Whether it seems opportune or not, today just might be your day to come clean.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You may be feeling dangerously close to an emotional meltdown and there doesn’t appear to be a quick fix to this uncomfortable situation. You want to tell it like it is today, but you might get discouraged when you consider the possible negative reactions you could receive. Don’t get stuck by your desire to make everyone feel at ease. Being honest is more important now than being nice.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You are coming into another phase of powerful changes this week. You are no stranger to transformation, although at times it occurs very slowly. However, things are likely to move much quicker now. Nevertheless, don’t be lulled into inaction by today’s dreams of living on Easy Street. Take control of the current situation by setting goals and building momentum as time goes by.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You may feel uncertain about your direction in life today, even if you think that all is well at first. You might be hurt by a situation that raises painful memories, so it’s crucial to realize what’s happening now is not the same as what happened in the past. Recognize your weak spots and take your time to uncover the origins of your emotions so that true healing can finally begin.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Make an extra effort to share what’s on your mind today with friends or coworkers. You could be feeling more emotional than you’re letting on, which is often your style, but right now you have a perfect chance to reveal your softer side. Remember, vulnerability does not have to be a weakness. It takes a special kind of strength to be honest about your limitations.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Your recent run-in with your own irrationality begins to fade as your emotions finally settle down a bit. But just because the clouds are lifting now, don’t fool yourself into thinking that the issues are resolved. You would do well to reconsider your feelings of anger or resentment today. Perhaps you don’t need to do anything about them yet, but awareness is a good place to start.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

A fog settles over the land this afternoon, making your logic unreliable as a navigational tool. You aren’t as certain about anything today. Although you can feel a rumbling beneath the surface, it’s not strong enough to be an earthquake. Finding your way can be tricky, but you don’t have a choice now. Trust your imagination while drawing the map that you need to reach your future destination.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Thursday, November 8th

Our big ideas and the details needed to manifest them are in conflict now as the practical Virgo Moon squares Mercury in philosophical Sagittarius. Life is even more challenging because retrograde Mercury requires us to revisit yesterday’s problems while we’re already dreaming about tomorrow. Rather than executing our plans, we may spend too much time thinking about all the possibilities. Reining in our imagination increases our effectiveness.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Although you might not go anywhere special today, you will likely be thinking of journeying to faraway lands and distant galaxies as messenger Mercury in your 9th House activates your inner explorer. Watching a travelogue or enjoying foods from other cultures could be enough to satisfy your wanderlust now, so don’t try to make your dreams come true yet. Knowing when to turn a fantasy into reality can make the difference between disappointment and happiness

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

Big ideas about pursuing emotional interests sound intriguing on paper, but they may fade quickly if you actually engage in an emotional conflict. You want an easier exchange of feelings, but are confronted with a different point of view today. If you have the courage to stay in the conversation, you might just receive the intimate connection you were seeking all along.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

A partner or a friend may tell you more about his or her opinions now than you want to know. Although others mean well, they won’t necessarily stop long enough to find out if you are even interested in what they are saying. Sometimes, you are attracted to having as much information as possible, but today you could be wishing that you didn’t know so much. Your best strategy is to politely change the topic of conversation when you get the chance

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

You have to limit your thinking to things that really matter today so you can take care of your obligations. Nevertheless, you are still tempted to escape from the pressures of work by imagining what you could be doing instead. Luckily, your chance of finding a pleasurable distraction without negatively impacting your production continues to grow throughout the day.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Financial limitations might put a crimp in your party plans now that the Moon is dancing through your 2nd House of Money. It may be that you don’t have enough funds to play in the style you prefer. But a shortage of time is another thing that could prevent you from spontaneously engaging in an activity just for the fun of it. Re-evaluate your resources before spending what you don’t have. Generosity of spirit can be demonstrated in a multitude of ways without costing a cent.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You could toss your schedule aside today, preferring to be more spontaneous, but it will be difficult to drop your previous commitments. Others may not realize how much you have decided to take on, for you can appear quite cavalier about it all. Unfortunately, you are your own worst critic now. Finding a middle ground between being extremely productive and being totally lazy is your best strategy.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Today you’re only interested in social interactions that deepen your understanding of life and your spiritual purpose. Build flexibility into your plans so you can change your mind at the last minute if you desire. It’s not that you are avoiding others; it’s just that enjoying a bit of quiet time may be more appealing than being with a group of people. Listen to your inner voice and don’t let anyone talk you into something you don’t want to do.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You may spend more of the day in service to others than you prefer, but there probably isn’t a way to avoid your responsibilities today. Fortunately, mental Mercury’s back-stepping in your sign helps you to maintain a positive demeanor. You’ll likely be seen as the hero who saves the day by going the extra mile if you temporarily set your own needs aside.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You are lucky that big things come in small packages today, for your attention span is limited by your previous obligations. Nevertheless, within this confined role, you still have an infinite amount of space to wander around in the far reaches of your imagination. Taking care of business can be productive, even when you are lost in your fantasies. Playing in both worlds fuels your creativity and your success at the same time.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

A fresh wave of energy washes into your life today and you may be feeling quite upbeat about upcoming social activities. Unfortunately, your cheery optimism runs into practical considerations that prevent you from doing everything you want. Don’t let discouragement overtake your enthusiasm. Instead, just remember that good things come to those who wait.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

It could be a real challenge to keep your goals in check as your plans for the next few weeks run away with you. Instead of arguing with someone who tries to help you see the folly of your ways, listen carefully to what they have to say. It’s not that you won’t accomplish much now; it’s just that there’s no need to bite off more than you can chew.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Friday, October 26th

We may start the day with uncertainty, yet taking charge becomes easier as the day wears on. Although the sensitive Pisces Moon sets the emotional tone, the action picks up when she enters enthusiastic Aries at 3:30 pm EDT. The transformational Scorpio Sun triggers visions of the long winter, confronting us with thoughts of mortality. However, the impetuous Aries Moon reveals our lack of patience as we take this journey into the unknown.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Your schedule seems to be more dependent than you like on the priorities and activities of your friends and associates. You prefer answering to no one but yourself; unfortunately, this self-reliant behavior isn’t supported by the current circumstances. Interacting with people willingly can enable you to accomplish a lot today. However, if you try to avoid working with others, you may not be able to get far at all.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

Your energy might be opposite of what others expect now as the Sun’s presence in your 7th House of Others moves you outward into your environment. You have something important to say about your current relationships, but what you share may not be all rainbows and unicorns. Have patience; your ideas will take time to gel before you can present them in a rational and balanced manner.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

Today’s positive influence of clever Mercury fills your head with a multitude of ingenious ideas. Although you may be even more adept than usual at communicating what’s on your mind now, the things you want to share might raise complex issues. Nevertheless, you are able to cloak the intensity in casual conversation that allows others to speak their minds, too, ultimately giving you the information you need.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

When issues grow too complicated, you tend to retreat until you decide what to do next. This is one of those times when it might be simpler to just slip quietly to the back of your cave and let the world go by. Unfortunately, hiding away isn’t in your best interest today. Instead, sharing your most intimate feelings gives others the chance to support you in surprising ways.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

In order to process today’s stress, you must respond to your current domestic situation with irrefutable sensibility. Don’t even think about a complicated scheme; it won’t work now. You have to keep everything as simple as possible. Don’t waver from your chosen path while remaining open to the advice offered by those you trust.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You have direct access to your feelings today and your clarity helps you in ways that may not be obvious to others. What comes to the surface now might not be pretty, but your emotions can reveal something important about your identity. Maintain your sense of balance as you take this journey into the private world of your own heart.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You are quite talkative today, but you’re ready to discuss different subjects than the ones normally expected from you. Instead of keeping your conversations light and easy, you seem less afraid now to confront others with what’s most important to you, even if it rocks the boat. Luckily, you can converse with your typical grace and style, enabling you to smoothly venture into uncharted emotional territory.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your work load may finally be growing lighter, but an open calendar doesn’t mean that you plan on taking it easy today. To the contrary, having more time on your hands reminds you of all the projects you want to tackle. Don’t wait until you’re busy again with something else; initiate action now while you can, even if you cannot finish what you start right away.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You’re riding an intense wave of feelings today, so it’s smart to take a deep breath before diving beneath the surface. Trying to stay on top of it all will only exhaust you, so let go of anything that could impede your progress. Thankfully, with proper concentration, your stamina will last longer than you think. You’ll have plenty of time to soak up the magical wonders that can only be discovered when you are swimming deep within the sea of emotions.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Your playing field grows very interesting as it becomes apparent that more is happening than you previously realized. It’s critical to make an extra effort in communicating now, so you can better understand and respect your friends and associates. You stand to gain much in your casual relationships, but you must go out of your way to be a part of the team rather than remaining on the bench. There’s more to be gained by collaborating with others instead of going off on your own.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You’re quite fascinated yet also frightened by the unknown as you feel the energy shifting into a deeper and more mysterious space. If something springs into your life today that surprises you, don’t push it away just because you weren’t prepared for it. Fate will find the best way to nudge you along as you strive for success.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

There may be something magical about your current descent into the shadow realms. You’re seeking meaningful answers to some pretty serious questions now about the purpose of your life and you aren’t willing to settle for anything less. Make time to study spiritual matters because your interest in metaphysical subjects might continue to deepen over the next few weeks.

Your Daily Horoscopes for October 4

We’re eager to let go of our worries, but the window for lighthearted fun opens and closes quickly today. The Moon’s shift into breezy Gemini at 7:46 am EDT lifts us above our practical concerns. Nevertheless, we still can’t escape our responsibilities because rational Mercury closes in on a conjunction with restrictive Saturn that’s exact tomorrow morning. Changing our expectations helps because resistance stems from what we’re already thinking.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Although it may be difficult to start a conversation today, the words and ideas should flow with ease once you get going. However, you won’t be able to talk your way around the truth; any deviation from the facts could draw the wrath of instant karma. Don’t try to outsmart reality; you can accomplish your goals as long as you maintain integrity in all that you say and do.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You don’t like being pushed into anything before you are ready, yet you may feel as if someone is trying to pressure you to change your mind now. Your response is to dig in your heels and stubbornly hold your position no matter how persistent others may be today. You believe the stakes are high, prompting you to take your resistance very seriously. Nevertheless, you can overplay your hand; an adaptable attitude just might save the day.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Everything is moving faster now that the Moon is back in your interactive sign. Your witty retorts are quick and you’re having fun as you play fast and loose. But you may have to work the brakes or you could lose control on the curves. Don’t wait until it’s too late; be smart and control your speed today before you hit a wall.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

A situation at home can take on larger-than-life proportions today, and you may need to jump in with the voice of reason. The good news is that the power of logic is on your side, so you know exactly what to do. Still, you might experience discomfort from the high level of mental activity and the need to reconsider decisions that you thought were already covered. Revisiting a recent conversation helps clarify your lingering confusion.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Although you may appear to have a casual attitude about your friends now, you’re taking yourself much more seriously than anyone realizes. Your desire to establish reliable communication channels motivates you to connect with others in a very profound manner. Make contact with someone who has been in your dreams, but not necessarily in your day-to-day life. You might be pleasantly surprised at what they have to tell you.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You have to call a situation just as you see it today because people at work are depending on you for a reality check. You didn’t ask to be put in this position, nor do you want the spotlight to be aimed on you, but it is apparent that you want to take care of things on a very basic level. Nevertheless, don’t be so sure that your perspective is the only one. Explaining the facts now is trickier than you realize.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

There are underlying tensions at work now, yet you still have opportunities to keep your life on a pretty even keel. There may be some miscommunications involving someone’s interpretation of one of your ideas today. But a misunderstanding can actually bring about a conversation that leads to a breakthrough if you let go of control. A detour in a discussion could be the catalyst to positive change.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You are receiving a direct download from the cosmos today, somewhat like a software upgrade. The recent confusion should fade soon and you might be pleasantly surprised how easily things go your way. However, you don’t have time to relax now; big changes are underfoot and you’re much wiser to conserve your energy any way you can.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

A coworker or partner might come down on you hard now, but this situation isn’t as serious as it first seems. In fact, there is likely a silver lining in today’s dark cloud, and you’ll be much better off if you can find it. No matter what you do, don’t shoot the messenger. If you lash out, you can miss the opportunity to make significant changes in your thinking process.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Today you’re catching up on the emails that you didn’t write all week, returning phone calls and, in general, doing a whole lot of little things you should have already done. However, you still might feel frustrated because it doesn’t seem like you are making enough progress. But don’t be so hard on yourself; if you work methodically, you will be just where you need to be by the end of the day.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may choose to put off unpleasant chores today in favor of distracting yourself with the more enjoyable tasks that are on your list of things to do. You might want to make something that allows your creativity to flow, even if it’s of no practical value. Fortunately, you can probably get by now without worrying too much about tomorrow, as long as you give yourself a reality check to cover your bases first.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Complex emotions flowing in the waters of your mind can be reassuring, since you Fish are comfortable swimming in symbolic realms. Now, however, your words could wrap themselves around your feelings and tangle the nets of your own fantasies and illusions. There will be plenty of time for logic later on. Put this creative energy to work by writing poetry, doing arts and crafts, or partaking in activities that engage your spiritual nature.

Good Monday Morning, My Dear & Blessed Friends!

Your Daily Chinese Horoscopes for May 15th

Rabbit

You are a little too focused on your work, career, or the daily grind at the moment. There is money coming, but you are acting like you are terrified the world will come to a halt if your fingers are not worn down to the nubs. Take a break, would you?

Dragon

You are way overdue for some fun. You have been working too hard lately, and your body is screaming “Slow down!” at you. That may manifest in the form of a cold, some aches and pains, or strange coincidences that push you out of “”ork think” into “play mode”.

Snake

Your family members, loved ones or relatives may gripe about the amount of time you spend working, but they have no complaints about spending the proceeds. You just may have to point that out to them today. You may be surprised and gratified when the response is one of sheepish apology.

Horse

This is definitely not a good time to go shopping for cell phones, computers, PDAs and other electronic or communication devices. They are likely to be the wrong model, break down easily or be more costly in the long run than you had anticipated. If you must buy these toys, get good warrantees.

Sheep

You will be strongly tempted to comfort-spend today. Be careful, that gigantic bargain could turn into a white elephant as soon as you pull out of the shopping mall’s parking lot. Leave impulsive purchases for another day when you are more clear about what you really want.

Monkey

You may have an opportunity to take on a leadership role or to stand above the crowd today, but don’t let new authority go to your head. You may find that some of the people you counted on to be supportive will have to be wooed and pursued.

Rooster

You feel anxious and uncertain and don’t know why. You need a feeling of greater stability around you and will be reaching out for trustworthy advice and feedback. A friend or companion could provide the insight you are seeking. Your mood will come around when you sort out the details.

Dog

Don’t go traveling with close friends or in groups if you have a choice. You may find that commuters are erratic today, making sudden lane changes without signaling, cutting you off. Don’t take it personally. They aren’t doing it on purpose, they are just distracted and careless today.

Pig

You might have to make some hard choices about your career, but it’s all ultimately for a good cause. You could let go of something you thought you needed, only to find out it was that very thing getting in the way of your getting ahead.

Rat

Communication, travel and higher education will be on your mind, but mundane gossip and distractions from people close to you are keeping you from setting your goals and sticking to them. While there is good news coming, you may be forced to shout “Quiet!” several times today.

Ox

Your value system or personal resources may be challenging to a friendship in some way. “You’ve changed!” is the lament, and there may be some truth to it. People do sometimes grow together, and sometimes they grow apart. You can’t go backwards.

Tiger

Your mate or partner may be insisting you “settle down”, or vice versa. Somehow there will be issues involving commitment, stability, security and-or the children in your lives. Communication is the key – talking things out will actually help, give it a try!

Good Thursday Morning to you, my dear friends!

Today’s Meditation for Thursday, March 8th

Welcoming the Dawn

In many spiritual traditions dawn – when the world is at its most peaceful – is regarded as an ideal time for meditation. Just before dawn go outside and find a place to sit and watch the sunrise. As the sun emerges above the horizon, fill your awareness with the brightening hues of the sky and rejoice in the beauty of the new day. Feel the golden rays of the sun warm your face and allow hope to fill your heart and refresh your spirit. You have started the day well.

If the weather is poor or you are unable to get a clear view of the sunrise, visualize the dawn instead.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, February 21

The magical mystery tour continues today as our dreams overflow into the real world. An elusive Venus-Neptune alignment spurs romantic fantasies while the Moon shifts into hypersensitive Pisces at 12:31 pm EST and joins surreal Neptune to further dissolve reality; but a hard-edged Mercury-Saturn aspect prevents us from floating away with our thoughts. The Pisces New Moon at 5:34 pm marks a turning point as we start to put the past behind us.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may feel as if you’re in an imaginative bubble and time is standing still today as the Pisces New Moon falls in your 12th House of Escapism. You know that big changes are on the way, but temporarily everything seems to be moving in slow motion. Don’t ignore what’s happening now because you have to finish a current project while you still have time. Once you tie up loose ends, you’ll be able to move into the next phase of your life.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Today’s Pisces New Moon triggers your need to be with like-minded people as it brings to life your 11th House of Friends. However, you can be so overwhelmed by your imagination now that your cohorts may think you’ve lost touch with reality. Thankfully, they’ll begin to take you more seriously if you don’t ramble on endlessly about your visions. Share your hopes, but stop talking once you’ve said what’s on your mind.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Getting a handle on what’s happening at work today can be challenging, but don’t just throw your hands up in frustration and walk away. Although you might not be able to make sense out of the instructions you’re given now, simply follow your intuition and take the most sensible course of action. Whatever you do, the rules are likely to be changed. Shift gears as necessary or take a whole new approach if your current methods no longer do the trick.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You may be obsessed with dreams of an exotic vacation, yet it would be a shame to waste the current opportunity without at least making a plan. At this point it really doesn’t matter if you cannot afford taking time off from work or if the costs are beyond your budget. What does matter is that you actually attempt to make your fantasy come true. Your preliminary explorations won’t require additional resources now, and you can always focus on the details later if you decide to embark on your escapade.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You are often so self-sufficient that it may be difficult now to get the help you need. Your co-workers might be hesitant to offer assistance, even if you would appreciate a little support. Although you could be in over your head, you don’t want to appear as if you’re desperate. Thankfully, it isn’t too late; ask for what you need, even if it means revealing your vulnerability. You don’t have to be perfect; others will rally to your defense if you’re willing to meet them halfway.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Everyone seems a bit unreliable today as the Pisces New Moon confuses your 7th House of Partners. You may expect one thing to occur, but something else comes out of left field. You could quickly become anxious if you are overly rigid in your approach to the day. However, being less self-critical now also enables you to loosen your judgment of others. Being flexible is a smart strategy to get you through these uncertain times.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

The imaginative Pisces New Moon lands in your 6th House of Habits, prompting you to start a new regimen to improve your well-being. A healthier diet and more effective exercise program usually sounds like a good idea, but you often lack the serious commitment required to make it work. Thankfully, your intentions go a long way today, and starting a new routine can have a lasting positive impact. An enduring little change makes more sense now than a big one that doesn’t last.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

The magical Pisces New Moon smiles on your 5th House of Love and Creativity today. A romantic fantasy might be exactly what you need, even if you don’t actually do anything about it. Yet a wonderful experience that takes place only within your imagination can still have real implications if you choose to act on your feelings now or later on. Whether you tell anyone or not, give yourself permission to feel the current attraction without worrying about where it may lead you.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You would be wise to keep your feelings to yourself today as the confusing Pisces New Moon lands in your 4th House of Roots. Your emotions are best left at home now; sharing your private life at work might not be the smartest move. However, don’t slip into denial about what’s happening. Instead of shutting yourself off from your heart, it’s healthier to write in a journal or talk about your personal issues with a trusted friend.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

A close friend or family member might do something that confuses you today, but don’t let this become the main focus of your day. You have important things to do and shouldn’t waste time trying to figure out someone else’s motives. If you’re really curious, be direct and ask them what’s going on. However, if satisfactory answers aren’t readily forthcoming, let it go for now; you can return to the conundrum another time.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Today’s Pisces New Moon activates your 2nd House of Money, inspiring visionary ideas about increasing your income. But your thoughts won’t necessarily lead to financial rewards because you might be misled by your own idealism now. Be smart and consider everything that comes to mind, but don’t put all your eggs in one basket.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Today’s New Moon falls in your creative sign, offering you a new lease on life. There’s no limit to what you can dream up in your mind now, but there’s also nothing to be gained by rushing into anything just yet. You are at the edge of an imaginative journey, but your thoughts will eventually solidify into reality. Move cautiously and consider all your options prior to focusing on any one path.

Your Horoscopes for Saturday, December 24th

We are extra serious about our commitments as the Moon shifts into dutiful Capricorn at 8:46 am EST. However, the Capricorn New Moon at 1:06 pm is trine joyous Jupiter and square disruptive Uranus, ensuring a high level of excitement for this holiday weekend. We may need to change our plans as unexpected situations occur. A willingness to compromise helps smooth over disagreements, but a Moon-Pluto hook-up makes it difficult to let go of control.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Bossing people around isn’t the most effective way to demonstrate your authority. Being a successful leader comes from power that you earn when you are in harmony with the truth. All you need to do now is take responsibility for your own actions. Pay careful attention to what you say and how you say it because you are more forceful than you realize. You can have the impact you desire today if you take a gentler approach.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You might think that you know how your day will unfold, however, an unexpected event may require you to modify your plans. But don’t just change everything all at once; overreacting will only make things worse. Minor adjustments that are well aimed are more useful, even if you don’t see immediate results from your actions. Nevertheless, you still should be able to reach your goals if you step back and broaden your perspective.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You may experience self-doubt today if your day deviates from your ideal schedule. You might even wonder if all your efforts over these last few weeks have moved you closer to your goals or have been an exercise in futility. Your key word now is patience; don’t do anything recklessly just because you’re frustrated with the apparent lack of progress. You’ll begin to feel more productive as you start to see results from your recent hard work.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You are very sensitive to the reserved Capricorn New Moon because it lands in your 7th House of Partnerships. You may be feeling stressed out by a relationship with a friend or lover, especially if you each have different ways of approaching conflict. Thankfully, persistence is rewarded now, and your willingness to face a difficult issue could actually bring the two of you closer together. Even if interactions seem strained today, sticking with the process can result in feelings of accomplishment.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Your usual weekend routine may be turned inside out today as the New Moon activates your 6th House of Habits. You don’t like the idea of doing things differently now, so a change of pace might be upsetting at first. However, shaking up old traditions can reveal details that alter your perspective on the holiday season. Don’t waste too much time looking back; it’s useless to judge your past harshly. Instead, look ahead and change the way you respond in the present moment.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Today’s calculating Capricorn New Moon occurs in your 5th House of Self-Expression. If you have been waiting for the best time to share something dear to your heart with someone special, this is your moment. Finally, after much careful deliberation you’re ready to show your cards. Remember, keeping secrets now prevents you from having a shot at success, so be honest and give yourself the chance you deserve.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

It may appear as if your personal life isn’t going exactly as you had hoped today, but you’ll eventually get what you want with the ambitious Capricorn New Moon visiting your 4th House of Foundations. However, satisfaction could still take a while because now you are building a solid base for future operations. Keep in mind anything that is truly meaningful is probably well worth the wait.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Today’s stabilizing Capricorn New Moon activates your 3rd House of Communication, encouraging you to establish a reliable framework for interactions with close friends and family. It may be time to put difficult conversations on the table, especially if your relationships have been strained by uncomfortable discussions that you have been avoiding. However, don’t push for closure now; allowing the intensity to soften will help you reach a more palatable resolution.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

If your path has recently been blocked by obstacles, the resistance is finally beginning to dissipate. It may appear as if your luck is improving, but it’s probably the result of all the hard work you’ve been doing over the past couple of months. Thankfully, now you should be able to enjoy the fruits of your labor. But don’t expect too much too fast as you continue to build on your accomplishments.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Today’s pragmatic Capricorn New Moon might lead you to believe that you’re in charge, but events of the day suggest otherwise. You may have recently given up significant control over your life, but it only gets crazier if you think that you can put everything back in order now. Don’t waste time getting excited about what’s ahead or being sad for what you’ve left behind. Instead, maintain a positive attitude in the present moment where your thoughts are busy creating your future.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

The conservative Capricorn New Moon’s visit to your 12th House of Karma could stir up issues from your past. Unfortunately, you might not recollect events as they really occurred since your imagination is bending the truth out of shape. Everything may seem overly important now, as if this present moment is more significant than all others. It’s healthier to take the current truth with a grain of salt, for your perspective will return to normal in the days ahead.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your world may seem a bit surreal now because you’re able to see further into your future as the Capricorn New Moon stirs your 11th House of Hopes and Dreams. Fortunately, you can use your imagination to create the next phase of your life. Although you might be tempted to lose yourself to fantasies, you can improve your chances for success by being practical while developing your vision of tomorrow.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Thursday, October 6th

We may be quite serious today with cerebral Mercury joining somber Saturn, reminding us to think twice about sharing what’s on our minds. It may even seem as if our thoughts are flowing along in slow motion. Nevertheless, we may find time to daydream anyhow as the Sun stressfully aligns with imaginative Neptune. Meanwhile, the futuristic Aquarius Moon encourages us to look ahead while the Mercury-Saturn conjunction reins our ideas back in.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may be feeling pretty good about yourself today, especially if you aren’t trying to accomplish too much. However, your unwillingness to acknowledge the limitations of your schedule could prompt someone to rain on your parade. Hitting the wall of resistance isn’t much fun but once you accept the circumstances that are beyond your control, you should be able to make the necessary adjustments to your plans.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Your fantasies can be quite enjoyable today, and as long as you don’t lose track of reality everything should flow smoothly. Unfortunately, you have work-related obligations to attend to that could stand between you and your pursuit of pleasure. Don’t try to avoid your responsibilities; address them first. If you work hard now you should be able to play hard later.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You might be more interested in your future now than you are in what’s happening today. However, your attachment to the possibilities ahead may be less about sensible planning than an attempt to escape from your current commitments. Unfortunately, there’s too much chaos in the present moment for you to pretend that everything’s under control. If you don’t take care of the immediate issues right away, they will grow into even more of a problem.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You might not feel at ease in your own home today, but ironically are more comfortable when you head out into the world. A family member or someone close to you may tell you what’s on his or her mind, and it might not be good news. It’s advisable for you to put on your rhino skin because your feelings could be hurt if you don’t take self-protective precautions. Don’t wallow in self-doubt; if nothing else, dream yourself out of the temporary malaise.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You are able to balance your intuition with common sense today, suggesting progress on many fronts. But you could miss the point if you become so spiritually inclined that you lose your bearings. Observe your reactions before you respond or your fears and attachments could prompt unavoidable negative consequences. If you can keep one foot on the ground, there’s a good chance that you’ll be able to make real positive change.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You may run into unexpected delays as your key planet Mercury conjuncts karmic Saturn. You won’t likely get what you want unless you’re willing to work for it. On the other hand, you’ll surely be disappointed if you don’t give it your all. Today’s lesson points out that achieving your goal isn’t the only reward. Showing up and playing the game passionately, whether you win or lose, is where you can find the most joy.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You can easily work yourself into a funk today as you worry more and more about your future. Ironically, you might not be able to explain your free-floating anxiety because there aren’t sufficient real life circumstances to justify your concerns. Ultimately, your future is up to you, so aim high and don’t let yourself be distracted by self-doubt.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You are often the one who can broach a difficult topic for discussion, but sometimes playing this role is exhausting. Your unwillingness to talk about something that no one else wants to acknowledge is reinforced by today’s critical Mercury-Saturn conjunction in your 12th House of Secrets. Fortunately, your resistance will pass. Ultimately, there aren’t many topics of discussion that are too sensitive or challenging for you, so tackle the unresolved issue once you are back in the mood.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You may feel stifled by your friends and co-workers as a naysaying Mercury-Saturn conjunction in your 11th House of Community can bring critical words from an ally. Unfortunately, your desire for change makes it more difficult to manage your response to the current feedback. Although you might not embrace the concept of patience, it is probably your best strategy. For now, err on the side of caution.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You have something important to say today, and you’re going to say it even if it’s politically incorrect as your key planet Saturn is activated by loquacious Mercury. But how you deliver your words may be nearly as important as the actual content of your message. Minimize any negative consequences by considering other people’s feelings and being as compassionate as possible.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

If you’ve been planning on taking a trip, today’s reality check may cause you to think again. Although you thought that you would be able to escape, your optimism fades, leaving you with a pile of reasons that makes discretionary travel difficult. But don’t get discouraged because a fresh wave of hope arrives later in the day as new dreams begin to replace the old ones that didn’t come true.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You’re willing to accept the limitations placed on you by your work schedule today. Instead of fighting back or negotiating for additional freedom, you may be slightly relieved that others know what you’re doing. But this isn’t exactly a peaceful, easy feeling because you realize how much is being asked of you. Nevertheless, your concentrated effort should pay off and you’ll soon be floating in dreams about a kinder and gentler tomorrow.

the daily humorscope

Thursday, September 15, 2011

Aries (March 21 – April 19)

Hug day, today. Various people you know will come up and give you a hug, for no apparent reason. You will find this moderatly embarrassing.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

Someone you know will drone on and on about various tentacled sea creatures today. The best thing to do is to pretend you have one of those vibrating pagers in your pocket, and say “oh! that must be the call I’ve been waiting for”, and dash off.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

Good day to burst into song. Nothing too fancy, mind you — no arias. The theme song from “The Beverly Hillbillies” will do nicely. Why not see how many people you can get to sing along?

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

Someone named Tyrone is about to sell you a vaccuum cleaner. There’s nothing much you can do about it, I’m afraid.

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

You will be able to get out of doing an unpleasant task today, by pretending you are a chicken.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

Excellent day to study gastroenterology, or possibly to go bowling.

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

Excellent day to fill some pantyhose with popcorn and do the reindeer dance.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

Today is an especially bad day to try something new involving explosives. Try to keep a low profile.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

You will discover what Shakespeare actually meant, when he wrote “Hey nonny, nonny”, in Much Ado About Nothing. It turns out that it was simply in-field chatter that somehow made it into the play, and that Shakespeare not only enjoyed softball, but was a reasonably good shortstop.

Capricorn (December 22 – January 20)

Your children will return, but they’ll be unnaturally quiet and good-natured. Eventually, you’ll discover how the switch was made.

Aquarius (January 21 – February 18)

Someone you don’t like will make repeated attempts to talk to you today. The best way to handle this is to stuff extremely crunchy food in your mouth during each attempt, and then mumble “What?” while looking at something slightly over their left shoulder.

Pisces (February 19 – March 20)

Relationships are a lot like tables. One leg is love, one is trust, one is shared pleasures, and one is shared dreams. Lasting relationships need all four legs for balance, to hold up the burden of your troubles. In your case, though, you’ll never get rid of that irritating wobble.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday, Aug. 31

Today’s socially astute Libra Moon insists that we take relationships seriously. Her conjunction with taskmaster Saturn can slow us down or even stop us in our tracks until we handle unfinished emotional business. Nevertheless, the Moon’s square to feisty Mars might fire up our feelings, prompting us to lose our tempers. Exercising self-control, combined with a willingness to enter into a meaningful discussion, may be enough to keep us on track.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You are more aware of other people’s needs today as the Moon visits your 7th House of Relationships. It’s easier to put your desires aside, even if only for a while, to make sure that everyone else is at ease. Although you want to do what’s best, your patience is tested later in the day when the Moon squares your key planet Mars, provoking you to be more assertive. You’ll be happier if you can find healthy ways to express your energy instead of letting frustration get the best of you.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You might feel as if you have too many chores to do today and are anxious that you cannot possibly finish all of them. Although you want to meet your obligations, worrying won’t help. You might even be so overwhelmed now that you consider just throwing in the towel. However, quitting isn’t the answer; instead, establish an even pace and simply do the best you can.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

The Moon’s current visit to your 5th House of Fun and Frivolity allows you to temporarily avoid serious issues. However, austere Saturn won’t let you lighten up too much unless you work extra hard first. Take care of your responsibilities early in the day so you can have a bit of down time later. Don’t begrudge the lessons you’re learning now; they will put you in good stead for what comes next.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You wish you could be objective, but your strong judgments can entangle you in an uncomfortable situation today. You should be able to regain your equilibrium by remembering to balance your subjectivity with cool logic, but your interactions may still be a bit unfulfilling now. Thankfully, you’ll probably feel more in your own element by tomorrow.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You might feel as if the good times are slipping away, along with the heat of the late summer Sun. You’re tempted to do something for the sheer sake of your own personal enjoyment today, but current obligations require your attention first. It’s not easy to be flexible once you’ve made up your mind, but changing your schedule allows you to accommodate both work and play.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

The idea of skipping out on work might be appealing today, but it’s not going to happen with the Moon conjunct hard-nosed Saturn. Even if you have conjured up a bullet-proof scheme, you may need to re-evaluate your priorities and save the fun and games for another day. Instead, concentrate your energy on doing something that will either bring in additional money or cut back on some expenses. Managing your resources well is more important now than having a good time.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You can turn a challenging situation into your advantage today and, luckily, this helps someone close to you have an easier time, too. You perform gracefully under pressure now that the Moon is back in your diplomatic sign and gaining strength from her conjunction to stabilizing Saturn. Others look to you for answers, but you don’t have any to give them. However, you do have the ability to help people find common ground and this may be better than any quick fix you might offer.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

The Moon in your 12th House of Soul Awareness can enrich your spiritual journey now, and her proximity to realistic Saturn makes sure that you get the lesson you need to learn. You may uncover a whole new dimension of beauty while managing the most mundane issues of your life. Don’t give in to fear; it has no useful place in your current world. Instead of worrying about abandonment, focus on the love that you can spread because it will resonate and come back to you many times over.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your responsibilities may seem overwhelming today, but your attitude will improve if you simply step back from your work for a bit and reconsider your long-term goals. This isn’t about creating a new strategy or setting a new course of action; there will be time for that later. It’s sufficient to acknowledge several different scenarios without picking one. Think of your options, but wait to narrow your path until you are very clear about where you’re going.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

The fair-minded Libra Moon is moving through your 10th House of Status, reminding you to be objective as you handle issues that concern others. Even if you have a specific point of view, don’t let it interfere with your decisions today. Setting aside your personal feelings is the right thing to do now, but only if you do it out of deep conviction and not just because you think that you should.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

The airy Libra Moon in your 9th House of Big Ideas raises your hopes about what’s next in your life. Maybe you’re thinking about taking a trip or beginning a new course of study. Whatever you are planning now, keep an open mind and expand your horizons. Don’t close down prematurely; your optimal future is not about maintaining the status quo. Stretch your wings and see where your vision takes you.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Although close relationships may be on your mind now, you’re not satisfied with simply meeting your commitments. You want to increase the intensity and depth in your intimate interactions, and won’t be satisfied until it happens. Thankfully, the Moon’s current visit to your 8th House of Deep Sharing helps to create the environment necessary for the kind of emotional connection you want.
