Your Weekend Lunar Love Horoscopes for Aug. 31 – Sept. 2

Weekend Love: Lunar Love

by Jeff Jawer

The Calm Before The Storm

August 31 – 2

Feelings flow freely with a Full Moon in dreamy Pisces setting the tone on Friday morning. This lunar opposition to the Sun in realistic Virgo represents a potential conflict between emotions and obligations. Make the time to take care of business so that it doesn’t get in the way when you’re ready to play. Imaginative Pisces can spur romantic feelings that flourish in a fantasy world. Getting away from ordinary activities to tap into the magic of music, art, and nature help us let go of stress, drop resentment or anger, and connect in uncomplicated ways. The Moon’s dynamic square with enthusiastic Jupiter adds optimism to Friday evening, encouraging adventurous behavior.

We can float through Saturday on the wings of imagination before a late night lunar entry into fiery Aries kicks into gear. We’re out of the clouds and into a world of immediate and strong reactions. This may be exciting, but it’s unlikely to be calm or peaceful. Breaking ground by connecting with someone new or pushing the social envelop has its risks.

Sunday’s especially complex with the Moon’s stressful midday aspects to provocative Pluto and rebellious Uranus pushing us to extremes. Freedom needs rise along with restlessness that’s best met by exploring different kinds of people and experiences

Your Charm for August 30 is Aquarius the Water-Bearer

Daily Horoscopes for Thursday, August 30

We return to the rational world today after yesterday’s deep dive into the realm of emotions. The conceptual Aquarius Moon harmonizes with strict Saturn, tightly binding our thoughts to reality. But an awkward alignment between the Sun and quirky Uranus makes it difficult to trust the facts. We’re rescued from our own thoughts by the Moon’s shift into psychic Pisces at 6:30 pm EDT when intuition and imagination replace logical analysis.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You might not be able to express your feelings easily today, yet you’re very clear about your position. You have a responsibility to a group of people, family or work associates, and you believe that you should withhold your personal perspective for the good of everyone involved. This discretion is a smart move and others will appreciate your self-restraint. Just be sure to stay in touch with your emotions even if you keep them to yourself now.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You’re normally capable of staying calm in a tough situation, but this detachment could lead to an emotional storm later if intense feelings finally overflow their banks. This could be one of those times when inconsequential matters provoke strong responses that are out of proportion with the current events. Look within to find the true source of your angst before making an unnecessary scene.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your senses are extra sharp today, giving you the ability to apply logic to a complex set of circumstances. You’re able to see beneath the surface and understand why things are the way they are as long as you don’t jump to a conclusion without considering the facts. Ineffective arguments cannot stand up to your mental acuity now, so strip away the fluff and go for the core issues. The right words hold the power to make real changes.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

A sharp word can be piercing today, quickly stimulating an old emotional wound. Thankfully, this criticism could be a healing experience if the source is someone you trust. Acknowledging the pain frees you from its grip, providing that you are really ready to let go. It’s natural to hold on to the past, but sometimes the price is too high. You have much to gain if you can listen with a flexible mind and an open heart.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Your power of persuasion is quite strong today. Fortunately, you can convince anyone of almost anything if you have your story in order, along with all the facts. It’s the combination of precision and passion that puts you over the top. Rehearse your presentation if you must, but get it right the very first time because you may not get a second chance.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

There is a delicate balance between clearly stating your position and coming across as being overly critical. Pick the right situations to express yourself so you can avoid the need to correct any social errors. However, even if you believe you’re being helpful today, others may feel attacked. A little diplomacy and tact goes a long way to soothe fragile nerves.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You’re in a rather playful mood today, ready to toss out an occasional flippant remark. But be careful with the teasing because others may not get your jokes. You’re exceptionally creative now, so you might want to go back to a project you recently set aside and make a few more adjustments. You have a good sense of what to keep and what to purge, enabling you to turn a rough idea into a polished product.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

The key to your current success now is in understanding your priorities. Luckily, you should have a keen sense of which projects need your attention at this time, so cut through the clutter and get to the essentials as quickly as possible. However, communicating your message to others requires clarity and patience. Don’t expect anyone to work effectively without precise instructions. Take your time and say exactly what you mean to get the job done right.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your imagination is often so filled with big ideas that it’s difficult to know which ones are most relevant. You may feel pressured to make a choice today and, fortunately, the sense of urgency works in your favor by forcing you to get off the fence. Nevertheless, it’s still hard to pick one path over all the other possibilities. Instead of getting lost in endless analysis now, trust your intuition.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Being cynical can be a curse because you tend to take a negative view that rules out a great number of possibilities. However, healthy skepticism brings you the ability to see the differences between empty promises and real prospects. An idea that you recently rejected may seem useful today, even if it makes you feel uncomfortable. Push past your personal preferences to find the deeper truth.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

The Moon in your sign increases your mental fortitude. You can use intellectual force combined with your power of intent to get what you want. However, you might become so passionate in your beliefs now that you ignore others, refusing to listen to what’s being said. Don’t fall prey to thinking that you know more about the truth than anyone else does. Use your imagination today along with your intelligence.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Usually, you feel honored when people trust you enough to tell you their secrets. However, your knowledge of sensitive information can become problematic today. It’s difficult to know how much to keep to yourself and what can be shared now on a need-to-know basis. Telling secrets has tremendous power to help or to hinder. Nurture those you love by considering their needs before saying something you might later regret.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for August 30

If you were thinking this might be a cream-puff kind of day where it would be easy to be successful around the horn, think again. Four potentially difficult sky patterns are scattered throughout the day while a 4+ hour void lunar cycle can behave as an added prankster. Giving you fits are the annual Sun-Chiron opposition (12:25AM PDT), Venus making an abrasive, 135-degree link to Chiron (2:38AM PDT), the Sun mixing it up with radical-change agent Uranus via an off-kilter, 150-degree tie (8:58AM PDT) while the Moon in Aquarius is void from 10:49AM PDT to 3:32PM PDT, and Mercury forms a potentially volatile contra-parallel with the red planet Mars (9:06PM PDT). Three of the four aspects sound fairly discordant — although you may be able to tweak the Sun-Chiron polarity into providing you with waves of healing sustenance just when it is needed. The shift of the Moon from being void in Aquarius to entering the psychic waters of Pisces (3:32PM PDT) reminds you to be more compassionate and empathic to the downtrodden and truly needy. Heart-to-heart and soul-to-soul communions can occur this evening as the Moon unites with the universal love-wisdom agent we know as Neptune (6:21PM PDT). However, addictive behavior can lead you on a cosmic detour. Thus, be a clear thinker and lift up your consciousness in preparation for tomorrow’s powerful Full Moon experience.

Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, August 28

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

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

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

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

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

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

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

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

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

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

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

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

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

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

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

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

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

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

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

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

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

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

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

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

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

Cosmic Calendar for August 28

Right off the bat you are confronted with some celestial shenanigans as Mercury makes an abrasive, 135-degree tie with shock-master Uranus (12:09AM PDT). When these two planets work in harmony, intellect and intuition form a natural partnership. However, right now, a battle of nerves can ensue with no clear winner. Helping you find some comfort and nurturance is a 60-degree rapport from Mercury to Ceres (12:56AM PDT). Tensions resume their superior position a few hours later when the Moon in Capricorn squares Saturn in Libra (3:34AM PDT) — a 90-degree aspect that starts a void lunar cycle that lasts until 10:40AM PDT. Trying to please everyone during the 7-hour void lunar limbo time-span won’t work or be rewarding. It is best to tune out the frenetic pace of modern living and seek the quiet refuge of a retreat, studio or library. Once the Moon enters airy, universal and iconoclastic Aquarius (10:40AM PDT), many opportunities to make forward progress should present themselves. It is once more sensible to join forces with like-minded souls in creating groups or organizations that strive to uplift humanity around the globe.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Monday, August 27

What we do now has consequences in the future, and the ambitious Capricorn Moon reminds us that the most reliable way to ensure success now is to work hard until it pays off. Although the Moon symbolizes our fluctuating moods, we try to gain stability by building and reinforcing structures in our lives that don’t change. Meanwhile, our assumptions are challenged today as logical Mercury aligns with evolutionary Pluto and revolutionary Uranus.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You have a lot to do today, but your responsible attitude goes beyond the normal business hours. Your top priority is to finish your chores, so make a list of all your tasks and stay focused until you have made a serious dent in your work. Put your stress to use by pushing extra hard to tie up any loose ends now. Don’t delay because your reservoir of energy could dissipate later in the week.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You may feel as if you are meeting resistance wherever you go when you would much rather be spending quality time with a close friend or partner. But others might seem emotionally cooler now as they set up roadblocks to delay your possible satisfaction. Try not to get too worked up over the stress. Instead, concentrate on the love that is in your life; celebrate the cup being half-full instead of complaining that it’s half-empty.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your greatest concern now is that you can’t pursue every curiosity that pops up in your life. Your time and energy are limited by circumstances beyond your control, and your current situation may prevent you from being as footloose and fancy free as you prefer. Yet, behind the apparent frustrations, important changes are occurring in your private inner world, so don’t stand in the way of progress.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Your emotional neediness could prevent you from finding happiness now, for it is not likely that others will meet your expectations. This is not as bad as it might sound since the real lesson here is about learning what you can give yourself. Use your time wisely to clearly define what you want from a relationship. If you are already in a close partnership of any kind, you may need to back off a bit to allow everyone involved more breathing room.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

It seems as if your life is going to settle down now, but this may be a premature judgment. Even if you see solid movement in your career, there are unexpected twists and turns in the path you have chosen. Be smart and prepare for whatever you might find once you get around the next bend in the road. Your ability to analyze the facts and decide what is most important will help you through this difficult phase.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Some people mistakenly think that creativity originates only from the wellsprings of inspiration. However, the source of your creative streak may be triggered from your desire to finish a project now. You know what you want and you have the ability to transform your professional ambitions and romantic urges into serious practical manifestations. Whatever you do today, be certain that it is done with a greater purpose in mind.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Tension finds its way to the surface today, even if you are trying to maintain stability at home or in your relationships with your family. But a disruption to your routine might not be such a bad thing if it puts you in touch with repressed emotions. Don’t resist your feelings now, even if they make you uncomfortable. Increased awareness facilitates positive change that may already be overdue.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You may be facing two very different issues now. On one hand, you are redefining your own boundaries — and this can lead to increased isolation for a while. On the other hand, a parade of amazing revelations prevents you from slipping into self-pity. Ultimately, you’re amused by the soap opera that is your life. This is a very healthy attitude since personal growth is possible if you reduce the drama by cultivating some emotional detachment.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Although self-criticism can be a powerful motivation at certain times in your life, it just slows you down now. If your typically high self-esteem is presently faltering, make a deal with yourself to travel the depths of your subconscious. Decide what’s most valuable and then come back up to the surface refreshed and ready to work for what you want.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Waves of intense feelings wash over you, but your tendency is to strengthen your tide walls so you can shut off the flow of emotions. You may be afraid that if you allow these feelings to rise to the surface, they will destabilize your personal world in ways that are not easy to manage. However, the more you try to hold back your irrational emotions, the greater the possibility of unwanted changes. Relax your resistance; you can learn what you need to know by trusting your inner wisdom.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Someone may be trying to control your behavior today, yet you don’t seem to have enough information at your disposal to resist with confidence. There are hidden pieces to the puzzle now and it’s difficult to fight an unseen enemy. Rather than actively arguing point by point, it’s more productive to hold on to familiar routines for a while longer. The truth becomes clear soon enough, and there will still be time enough to act when it does.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You are being prohibited from expressing yourself as freely as you would like today, yet this restraint ironically works in your favor. If you say whatever is on your mind now, you could inadvertently offend the people that mean the most to you. If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all. Patience is your best friend; proceed slowly and with great intent.

Your Weekly Love Horoscopes for August 27

In the dance between intellect and emotion feelings come out on top this weekend. Friday’s Full Moon in imaginative Pisces overwhelms logical thinking with desires to connect with others and to escape the world of work and reason. Yet allowing dreams to overcome reality can lead to an abrupt awakening with disruptive lunar aspects on Sunday adding a bit of shock value to our lives.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may spend much of the weekend feeling like an outsider with the mysterious Pisces Moon occupying your 12th House of Obscurity until late Saturday night. Time spent alone or with one inspirational person provides the quiet and contemplative space you need. Then the Moon blasts into your incendiary sign to pump you up with excitement. However, tough lunar aspects with outer planets Pluto and Uranus can expose secrets and spring surprises on Sunday.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Misreading the intentions of others is possible on Friday with a hypersensitive Pisces Full Moon and an edgy aspect involving your romantic ruling planet Venus. Her semisquare with the willful Sun represents wounded pride if you take critical comments to heart. But this is more about proving your worth to yourself than seeking external approval. Treating yourself with tenderness is the best way to get everyone else to do the same.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

A major breakthrough in relationships is possible with Friday’s Pisces Full Moon illuminating your 7th House of Partners. What you may realize is that feelings count more than facts and that you shouldn’t let petty issues get in the way of your instincts. Forgive and forget if that’s what it takes to let go of an old wound. Imagination will inspire you to get closer with the one you’re with or allow you to connect with a kind and creative new person.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

There’s no holding back your feelings with Friday’s evocative Full Moon in sister water sign Pisces. Truth has a way of leaking out, even when you are keeping it from yourself. Ultimately, this emotional exposure can be a relief and allows you to regain trust in a relationship. Getting away from it all is a great way to celebrate this new found freedom, whether you’re currently single or have a supportive partner to keep you company. Imagination and compassion are the magic ingredients that help to restore your faith in love.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

The spiritual Pisces Full Moon on Friday shines a bright light on vulnerability in relationships. It occurs in your 8th House of Intimacy to bring more honesty to a partnership, which may not be fun but can bring you closer to the one you love. This creative transit inspires your imagination. You’re able to readily change roles and shift your attitude according to the circumstances. Letting go and trusting the flow makes it a pleasure to connect.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You need a little love and tenderness this weekend with Friday’s delicate Pisces Full Moon occurring in your 7th House of Partners. Don’t sweat the small stuff since there may be more important issues at stake. Overlooking petty differences creates a magical connection but it can be easily broken by unnecessary criticism. Put the real world on hold to let imagination open the way to romance. Don’t worry about the future so you can truly enjoy the magic of the moment.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Relationship action gets hot and heavy on Saturday night when the Moon fires into irrepressible Aries and your 7th House of Partnerships. You could be more impulsive than usual or connect with individuals who lack patience. The line between flirting and fighting grows very thin now, turning attraction into aggression if you take things too far. Still, it’s better to make waves by standing up for yourself than accepting unkind treatment. Loving yourself enables others to love you too.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your sex appeal is off the charts with Friday’s hypnotic Pisces Full Moon lighting up your 5th House of Romance. You can create your own fantasy world and attract companions to play with you in it. Coming across in an easygoing way makes you especially desirable. Demonstrating your generosity and being undemanding is a great way to gain trust. Don’t focus so hard on your own desires that you fail to recognize what others want.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Laying low until late Saturday night gives you a chance to grab plenty of rest to prepare for the action to come. Once the Moon fires into spontaneous Aries and your 5th House of Romance let the fun and games begin, especially when they involve new people or activities. You can grab attention in an instant but if you aren’t careful, you might kick up some opposition with tense lunar aspects to rebellious Pluto and Uranus on Sunday. Stop and think before you overreact.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Conversations rooted in compassion where you listen with your heart are the keys to making romance happen this week. The spiritual Pisces Full Moon brightens your communicative 3rd House on Friday, warming you with tenderness. Read between the lines to get the real meaning of what’s being said instead of skimming the surface. Being fully present with your eyes and ears creates deeper connections that go beyond words.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

The Moon traveling through your sign from Tuesday morning to Thursday afternoon brings your feelings to the surface. But simply putting them out there might not get the desired response. Tense planetary patterns encourage unvarnished honesty, which isn’t easy for others to take in. If you consider the impact of what you’re about to say, you can find gracious ways to express yourself that are more likely to be understood and appreciated.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

There’s no keeping your emotions out of sight on Friday with an expressive Full Moon in your super-sensitive sign. If you’re in a good place now, this vulnerability can make you especially enchanting to others. However, self-pity is not going to help your cause, so work out the hard stuff privately instead of displaying it to the world. Besides, the highest potential of this Full Moon is found in recognizing that you need to take responsibility for your feelings. Your happiness is found in your own heart.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for August 24

Recall that a void lunar uncertainty zone in Scorpio started early yesterday and lasts until the Moon enters upbeat, fiery Sagittarius (3:51AM PDT). Before the lunar entry into the adventure-seeking, ninth sign of the zodiac, the cosmos wants you to get back on track with investments since Mercury forms a 60-degree rapport with Vesta (2:11AM PDT). It is best to utilize the constructive features of this Moon-Vesta connection after the Moon sets foot into Sagittarian territory. After the Moon is firmly in Sagittarius, you may feel the urge to solve problems and conduct strategy sessions with respected teachers, mentors or friends as Ceres makes an inspirational, 72-degree link to Pallas (4:12AM PDT). Some of the hoopla, enthusiasm and joy present in Sagittarius Moon become temporarily stifled during the First Quarter Sun-Moon Phase (activating 2 degrees of Gemini and Sagittarius at 6:55AM PDT). Your present goal is to cut through apparent obstacles in your physical and emotional realms. Manage your business affairs with greater finesse. Some additional worries can catch you napping around 4:39PM PDT when Venus makes a frictional, 135-degree link to dreamy Neptune. Be more sensible in romance and concerning money-making ventures under this somewhat uncomfortable Venus-Neptune interaction. Meanwhile, your intuition and ingenious mind are fired up as the Moon makes a flowing trine to Uranus in Aries (5:13PM PDT). If you add on tomorrow morning’s Moon trine to Mercury in Leo, then a Grand Triangle is developing in fire signs overnight that can give your psychic batteries a healthy recharge.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Monday, August 20

It’s challenging to find stable ground to stand on today as our emotions are pulled in several directions. We want everyone to get along once the Moon enters gracious Libra at 12:45 am EDT, but her stressful aspects to domineering Pluto and shocking Uranus put our emotions on edge. Nevertheless, we’re ready to swing into action and optimistically do the best we can because enterprising Mars aligns with the willful Sun and buoyant Jupiter.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

The emphasis in your life shifts toward those who depend upon you while the cooperative Libra Moon visits your 7th House of Relationships. You may be feeling particularly enthusiastic as superhero Mars supports your current efforts at putting others at ease. But you must also attend to your own needs, too, or you won’t have anything left to give anyone else. Being a perfect partner is an admirable goal, but don’t lose yourself in the process.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

In an ideal world there would be a simple way to make your workday more pleasant, but in reality you might feel overwhelmed now. You cannot escape into a dreamworld because there is just too much going on. Fortunately, once you acknowledge what needs to be done today, you should be able to muster up the determination and energy to tackle your chores one by one. Don’t give up; you could surprise yourself with how much you actually accomplish by the end of the day.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

The emotional web you weave could develop some tangles this morning, and your energy might feel as if it’s tied up in knots. However, you’ll be able to straighten out everything once you navigate your way through the challenges. Don’t worry about finishing a task a little late; keep your eyes on the goal and you might arrive at your destination sooner than you expect.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Unexpressed feelings on the home front could complicate family dynamics, even if you try to remain objective in your assessment of the situation. You’re extra sensitive to those you love today, making it difficult to separate your own feelings from theirs. Contemplating your options makes sense, but dwelling on them is of no use. Don’t hesitate to take action once you review the possibilities because you have a small window of opportunity now to make something wonderful happen.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Sometimes your path seems quite obvious to you, but today a few distractions could obscure your way. You might even feel as if others are being overly pushy, trying to persuade you to set aside your plans in favor of theirs. Unfortunately, pushing back doesn’t solve anything; it just escalates the tension. Don’t try to justify your actions. Sidestep the entire conflict by simply doing your thing instead of wasting energy in endless dialogue.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Everything seemed pretty clear for a while, but now you’re thinking about a whole new set of possibilities and doubting the wisdom of your current path. Your sudden exuberance for something different can complicate things by luring you off track. It’s time to stop and think before expending more time and money on a goal that may no longer interest you. Don’t switch directions yet; wait until you are certain about what your heart wants.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You have a good excuse to change your mind now that the Moon is in your sign. But this is not about logic today, which is your usual reason for making seesaw decisions. It’s your emotions that are currently fluctuating every few minutes. If you don’t like what you’re feeling, just patiently wait for the next wave until your moods begin to stabilize.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You’re trying to keep your life balanced, but there is only so much you can manage today. There are too many variables to track now, each adding subtle nuances to a delicate situation. You can make yourself crazy by attempting to untangle the threads of complexity. Or, you can turn up the volume on your daydreams and float downstream for a while. Escaping makes sense as long as you know that it’s only temporary. You’ll have more energy to deal with everything in a few days.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You may feel as if you need to do something with your friends today or you’ll miss the chance. Unfortunately, as tempting as it might be to play hooky, you won’t necessarily be able to just take the day off. Meanwhile, lucky Jupiter encourages you to believe that everything will work out fine, even if you bail on a previous commitment. But your overconfidence can steer you wrong. Don’t let blind optimism talk you out of being responsible. The choice is all yours, along with the consequences.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Although you have relationship issues on your mind, they’re just a distraction from the real dilemma at hand. Your more immediate concern is about your career path; decisions need to be made that can have long-lasting ramifications. Ironically, your current choices have a significant impact on a partner or spouse. Luckily, your emotions settle down later in the day, revealing a clear path to your goal. Patience, combined with hard work, leads you to your desired destination.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may think that your adventurous ideas are too outrageous today, but it would be an interesting exercise to let your imagination go wild anyhow. Set aside the restraints of logic, resources and time while you explore the alternatives without being attached to the outcome. Ultimately, you might not be able to take this particular dream trip, but giving yourself time to think about it now is a vacation in its own right.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your restlessness could get the best of you today as you think about the numerous possibilities before you. Unfortunately, you’re tied to previously made commitments, so you can’t just wander off to explore alternate paths. Instead, keep your eyes on the road and your feet on the ground. Utilizing your common sense now is a wise antidote to all the spacey energy coming your way.

Daily Cosmic Calendar For August 18th

The little things in life are always front and center during the Moon’s passage through Virgo every month. Therefore, get down to brass tacks and focus attention on improving your diet with adding nutritional food sources. Stock up on cereals, grains, herbs, tea, vitamins, minerals, nuts, seeds and seasonings. Repair work is featured as Venus squares Pallas (9:27AM PDT) while the Sun makes an inspirational, 72-degree tie to Vesta (9:35AM PDT). You can still solve problems and be a strategist — seeing patterns that are normally invisible to the human eye. Love bonds are enhanced as the Moon in Virgo makes a supportive, 60-degree liaison with Venus in Cancer (12:06PM PDT), but snafus on the communication front can create some temporary mistaken judgments as Mercury forms an off-kilter, 150-degree tie with Chiron (1:32PM PDT). The Moon enters a long void twilight zone at 4:27PM PDT that will last until 9:46PM PDT tomorrow night. This is somewhat disconcerting because insights can arrive with a chorus of cheers as Mercury trines Uranus in fire signs (4:30PM PDT) while Ceres also makes an inspirational, 72-degree rapport with Uranus (8:01PM PDT). This latter aspect usually is an enhancement for your overall productivity, but with the Moon being void all the way until tomorrow night, you may need to rest on your laurels for tonight and much of tomorrow. Be a minimalist when it comes to decision-making overnight.

Your Charm for August 18 is Aquarius, The Water-Bearer

Your Charm for August 18th

Aquarius, The Water-Bearer

General Description: Eleventh sign of the Zodiac, Jan 20th to Feb 19th. Ruling planet Uranus; correct metal lead. Those bon under the influence of the Aquarius were supposed to be intelligent, of strong will power, restless, inventive, deep thinkers, artistic and caution in money matters. The Aquarius gems are Garnet and Hyacinth. The Garnet, thought India and Persia, was a favorite amulet against plague and poison, also worn to attract cheerfulness and good health. In the middle ages used as a charm to protect against all inflammatory disease and to ensure happiness. It was also supposed to warn its wearer of approaching peril and danger.

Daily Horoscopes for Saturday, August 18th

We may find ourselves embroiled in a power struggle today as communicator Mercury forms a difficult quincunx with intense Pluto. We might not be interested in negotiating since the Moon’s harmonious trine to Pluto strengthens our resolve. Although the fussy Virgo Moon reminds us to focus on details, we still might miss what’s most important. Thankfully, a brilliant stroke of genius unexpectedly saves the day as Mercury trines innovative Uranus.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Your idealism quickly fades as new thoughts fuel your creativity today. You don’t need to rely on your dreams now; you can step beyond the limitations that were previously holding you back. Your real life could become almost as good as your fantasy world. But don’t keep your enthusiasm all to yourself; your story is inspirational to others. Your influence positively impacts those who know you as long as you acknowledge the difference between fact and fancy.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

An authority figure may be the source of a problem today, leaving you unsure how to respond. You don’t want to make a big deal out of something unimportant, yet glossing over a significant issue can come back to haunt you later on. Delay action for the first part of the day if possible; once you trust your instincts, your uncertainty will fade and you’ll know exactly how to approach the situation.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You have a lot to say today and people listen to you because you’re often very clever. The words slip smoothly off your tongue with the greatest of ease. However, if anyone assumes that you’re telling the whole truth, you could find yourself in trouble now. Stretching poetic license too far in your favor isn’t a good idea, for you might not feel so great when the tension snaps back to reality. It may be more fun to embellish your story, but it’s wiser to stick with the facts.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

It’s challenging to remain clear about your desires today, but a lack of certainty won’t stop you from voicing your feelings anyway. Your understanding of what you want is transforming along with your values, so try not to make too much of your current needs. Give yourself room to vacillate before creating a concrete plan and announcing your new intentions to the world.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You have the finesse to talk your way out of almost anything now, but it’s not a smart idea to test the limits of this gift. You are very charming, yet a pleasant personality isn’t a substitute for speaking the truth. There’s no need to rely on anyone else for your reality check today, since others may be feeding your fantasies. Instead, take your current thoughts with a grain of salt, no matter how amazing they sound. The most worthwhile ones will still be useful in a few days.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

An emotional connection with a profound spiritual truth might open up a new path for you to follow. You have a chance to move past your analytical skills and tap into the power of your imagination. Visualize all the possibilities and let your mind travel just for curiosity’s sake. If you discover a brilliant idea on your journey, seize the opportunity and work toward making your dreams come true.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You’re appreciative of the unconventional people in your life now, for they spur you to the heights of your creativity. Although your intuition is strong, you cannot get away with making unrealistic wishes. The power of your positive thoughts might be able to move mountains, but not necessarily according to your schedule. Instead of focusing on others today, increase your efficiency by improving your own work habits. Minor changes can have major impact on your productivity.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

If you stay in touch with your feelings today, you can reach beyond your usual limits. But you won’t be happy unless you consciously integrate your spiritual beliefs into everything else that you do. Monetary success isn’t what’s most important now. Possessions come and go, yet memories are yours to keep forever. Make choices from a sacred perspective rather than a mundane one and the rest will fall into place.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

It’s not easy to focus on one specific project today, since your mind is traveling all over the place. Fortunately, you don’t need to spend money on an airplane ticket to visit faraway places; you can go anywhere within your imagination. Do some metaphysical journeying now because original ideas come to you when your brain is free from the drudgery of everyday routine. Just remember to meet your obligations before you slip away to dream.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

A little misunderstanding about shared property or resources may create a temporary rift between you and a close friend or partner. But instead of limiting your discussion to the specific issue, you need to dig beyond the apparent problem. A disagreement over finances might be symptomatic of a deeper struggle. Go directly toward the heart of the matter, even if it makes you feel uncomfortable at first. Your vulnerability can lead to unexpected rewards.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You are comfortable with all the movement today because your brain is buzzing and you feel very smart. But your edgy behavior might stir anxiety in others since they may not be used to the high level of mental activity. Examine your feelings because you could be sending mixed messages without even realizing it. Take the extra step and make sure that your friends and family understand your true intentions before rushing ahead and inadvertently hurting someone’s feelings.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

If you are unsure that your current approach to a problem is the best one, don’t pretend that you have all the answers. Your defensive behavior only makes matters worse today, especially if someone is showing you a better way to accomplish a goal. Remember, there are multiple paths to the same destination; your willingness to take a different route can make all the difference in the world.

Current Moon Phase for Aug. 16: Waning Crescent

Crescent Moon

(waning /6% illumination)

This is a time to rest, reevaluate and reflect, pulling back into yourself to reconnect with inner sources of strength. Now is not a time to initiate anything new. It’s a phase suited to spending time with friends and getting in touch with the “big picture.” A window of opportunity exists for seeing your life objectively and becoming aware of what is important to you. At this point, what are your dreams and aspirations? What larger goals can you aspire to that will bring vitality and excitement into your life? This is a time for resting and gaining inner strength to prepare for a new cycle.

Daily Horoscopes for Thursday, August 16

We know what we want today, yet something is holding us back. Still, we might not be willing to limit our desires by adhering to socially acceptable norms. Romantic Venus dynamically squares unconventional Uranus, zapping us with unusual feelings. Even the heart-centered Leo Moon trines shocking Uranus, prompting us to release pent up emotional stress suddenly, like lightning during a storm. Thankfully, the energy settles down later in the day.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You’re fairly confident that you’ll reach your destination, but you have trouble verbalizing your needs today. Unfortunately, your goals may be so far out of the box now that you cannot talk about them. Even still, you might attempt to express your feelings anyhow, only to discover what you want changes as the day goes on. Go ahead and open your heart, but remain flexible and be ready for a surprise.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You don’t like being caught off guard, but today you may have to respond quickly to new feelings that arise quite suddenly. You won’t be able to blame anyone else now, as this is probably a result of your own urges that erupt from the hidden depths of your unconscious mind. Don’t withdraw; take every opportunity to break through whatever you have been avoiding. Facing your fears is the best way to overcome them.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You’re usually willing to explore pleasurable distractions, but it’s not that easy today. Other people have their expectations, but you might be disinterested in their goals now. If you do go along with someone’s unusual request, you’ll likely regret it later. Nevertheless, you don’t want to let down a friend or associate. Do what is required, but don’t be surprised if you get restless during the day and just want to walk away from it all.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Innovative ideas pop up unexpectedly today, thrilling you with the possibilities. However, this isn’t a great time to let these desires run your life. In fact, it’s wise to filter your thoughts so you don’t get pulled off track. The challenge is in discerning which dreams are worth pursuing. Remember, you can think about all your options without having to act on every one.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You may become upset if a co-worker ruins your fun today, but keep in mind that no one is purposefully trying to make your life difficult. To the contrary, others are more likely to assist you along your road to emotional satisfaction if you are doing your fair share. Although you might not get your way now, being a team player greatly increases your chances for fulfillment and enjoyment.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Someone may step into your world unexpectedly today with an intense emotional outburst that doesn’t fit into your idea of appropriate behavior. Fortunately, you are magnanimous enough to incorporate this unsettling experience, but you need to make a conscious decision to be compassionate rather than critical. A great adventure can be yours if you accept the fact that you cannot control all the facets of your life all the time.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Forget about sticking to your normal routine today since your key planet Venus is buzzed by high-strung Uranus. You may even feel as if you’re going crazy, but rest assured it’s just that the energy is a bit unstable now. Let restrictive structures and unhealthy assumptions fall away without resistance. Resume your regularly scheduled activities once the dust settles.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You may experience free-floating anxiety today as you’re feeling a combination of excitement and annoyance. Although others could seem overly stubborn, you might actually be the one most responsible for holding yourself back. Even if you feel trapped by the current circumstances, don’t focus on your limitations. Instead, allow your feelings to take you wherever they go without judging them. You can easily find your way back to a more productive place later on.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Unpredictable Uranus rattles magnetic Venus today while she visits your 8th House of Intimacy. If your pocketbook isn’t directly affected now, your love life might be the next thing in line. Don’t give anyone else power over you — either emotionally or financially — as your current need for immediate gratification may feel more important than how much cash you have in your checking account. Be willing to take a risk as long as you carefully consider the consequences first.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Someone may jump to the wrong conclusion about your desires, especially if you aren’t forthcoming with what you want now. In other words, what you don’t say today can be even more important than what you do say. Step outside of your comfort zone and speak your piece. No matter how irrational your feelings are, it’s still better if they’re out in the open.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Your attachment to objects of beauty might get you into trouble today, whether you are attracted to a piece of art or another person. Although your desires aren’t necessarily physical, they could manifest that way now. Ultimately, you’re more in love with an idea than with anything in reality. Understanding this can help reduce your frustration, especially if you are less than satisfied with what you receive.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your behavior seems highly erratic now, making it difficult for anyone to trust you. However, your emotions are very close to the surface and your sudden mood shifts are quickly reflected in transparent mannerisms. It’s not necessary to be in total control today. Let others know that you are moving through some rough waters and could use their support. Ask and you just might receive more than you expect.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for August 15th

Stop, look and listen! The cosmos is anything but calm and serene as a void lunar cycle in Cancer begins at 1:22AM PDT and continues in force until 11:06AM PDT. Meanwhile, while the Moon is in its uncertainty zone, Venus opposes Pluto (2:12AM PDT), Mars unites with Saturn at 25 degrees of Libra (3:36AM PDT), and the Sun forms an abrasive, 135-degree tie with revolutionary Uranus (6:28AM PDT). Any one of these three aspects on a given day would be a cause for concern, but to have all three happening within four hours during a void lunar cycle is to raise the ante considerably. Plus — while the Moon eagerly leaves void status in Cancer by entering fiery, warmhearted Leo (11:06AM PDT), the latter hours are no walk in the park since the Sun squares Juno (10:16PM PDT) and Venus squares Uranus (11:49PM PDT). The universe is clearly suggesting that it is wise to refrain from romantic entanglements, money-making schemes, signing important papers or working on legal matters. An attempt to placate human souls arrives in the form of an inspirational, 72-degree link from Mars to Pluto (6:49PM PDT), the monthly Moon-Mercury communication-enhancing union (8:25PM PDT), and a flowing trine of 120-degrees from Venus to Chiron in water signs (9:29PM PDT). Seek solace and protection in these three nurturing alignments, but be sensible and on alert for the entire 24-hour time-period since anything can happen and probably will since circumstances beyond your personal control are in the cat-bird seat.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for August 14th

Moody vibrations enter the scene fairly early today as the Moon continues its monthly transit through watery, nostalgic Cancer and the Sun makes an abrasive, 135-degree connection with underworld-ruling Pluto (8:42AM PDT). By itself, this is a reminder to hedge your bets as a business entrepreneur or investor. However, because the Sun will make the same aspect with radical-change agent Uranus tomorrow morning, we have a situation where the solar life-force is about to energize one of the two midpoints in the zodiac that hold Uranus/Pluto vibrations. This means that shocking news, surprises, and deeply transformative energy-dynamics are ready to inundate humanity. When psychic storm warnings are posted, be receptive and don’t think you are completely immune from physical, emotional and mental exhaustion. Ceres forming a contra-parallel with Pluto (7:58PM PDT) is one more ingredient that can lead to the celestial-seasonings pot boiling over. Waiting in the wings tomorrow is not only a Sun-Uranus battle, but Venus opposing Pluto and squaring Uranus while Mars and Saturn form their first conjunction since July 31, 2010. Ouch! The fear factor is about to get hot and heavy as Tuesday morphs into Wednesday.

Your Daily Horoscopes for August 13th

Insecurities deepen and emotions intensify today as the Moon enters moody Cancer at 4:27 am EDT. Nevertheless, the day still begins on a sweet note as the Moon creates a smooth trine with dreamy Neptune and then hooks up with romantic Venus. Even if everything appears to be running smoothly, it’s challenging to express what we feel. Relationship dynamics grow more complex as the Cancer Moon opposes domineering Pluto and squares unstable Uranus.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may decide early in the day that you’re not going to let anything bother you. This cavalier strategy might actually work for a while, but it’s impossible to hold on to your laissez faire attitude if someone does something that offends or threatens you. Even if you consciously choose to just let it go, handling your unresolved feelings will be easier now than later. Share your concerns with a friend and then move on.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You’re feeling very positive about life and could even ignore an important detail just so you can maintain your current peace of mind. Unfortunately, it becomes more difficult throughout the day to continue to bury your head in the sand. It’s better to face an uncomfortable truth than it is to try to dance your way around it. Be courageous; your dilemma is probably not as big as you think.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Although you could be tenaciously holding on to fears about your finances, you’re acting so confidently that others may not see past your charming appearance. There’s nothing wrong with wanting to present your life in a positive light. Nevertheless, don’t try to fool yourself even if you can dazzle others with your fancy footwork. Be smart today and manage your money or pay some bills. Push past your resistance and get down to work. All that anyone needs to know is that you’re busy and can’t be disturbed now.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Although you may be rather distracted today, it’s wise to acknowledge your own feelings and express your needs now that the Moon is back in your sign. You are at the beginning of a whole new emotional cycle, yet your attachments to the past can prevent you from moving forward. Being patient is one of your strengths; just don’t let it turn into procrastination while waiting for the best moment to act.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You have probably experienced many distractions over the past few days. Although the busy pace hasn’t fully settled down yet, it’s time to concentrate your scattered energy and pay less attention to anything that keeps you from doing what you must. It may take extra effort today, but setting priorities enables you to accomplish more now and gives you extra time to relax later on.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You may find your professional responsibilities overwhelming now. Although too many tasks are pulling you in too many directions, you want to narrow your focus to do one thing at a time. Ultimately, you feel better when the quality of your work meets your high expectations, yet you can’t perform at this level when you’re under pressure. Take a stand; discuss your concerns with your boss so you can set a new agenda that gives you the chance to do each task well.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You may not be as productive as others expect of you, but the most important work you’re doing now is taking place within your mind. Maintain any appearances that are necessary to give yourself the room you need to continue your inner journey. Keep in mind that today’s creative ideas can fuel your accomplishments in the days ahead. Get lost in your imagination to find the keys to your success.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your willingness to go along with someone else’s plan today doesn’t mean you are without your own limits. You may be pushed into an uncomfortable emotional confrontation if you think that anyone is taking unfair advantage of your flexibility. Try not to blame others for their shortcomings; focus on your feelings rather than what anyone else did or didn’t do. This compassionate strategy allows for the best possible outcome for everyone involved.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

A relationship with a powerful person may come to a head today as clashing points of view require resolution. However, a direct confrontation won’t produce a winner, so avoid locking horns with anyone to prevent unnecessary drama. Instead of arguing about who is right and who is wrong, explore common ground so you can accomplish more than either of you could on your own.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You could be busier than normal today, but you aren’t one to be afraid of hard work. It’s just that you don’t like being pulled all over the map to put out fires as you handle a string of small crises. Although you might be quite effective taking care of problems as they surface, it prevents you from accomplishing what was on your initial agenda. Fortunately, there’s no need to struggle; you can return to your unfinished projects tomorrow once everything settles down.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Although crosscurrents at work require your undivided attention today, you’re up for nearly anything. Your positive attitude will take you far, but be careful that your eagerness doesn’t set up a situation where you are stretched so thin that you cannot do a good job at any one task. Stay aware of your energy level so you can maintain a sustainable pace and, ultimately, feel good at the end of the day.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may be stressed by a relationship problem that can interfere with your concentration on the job today. Or, maybe your emotional needs are in conflict with your current work obligations. Either way, you need to find a sensible course of action that allows you to remain in touch with the issues without believing that you must fix anything right away. Resolution will come in time if you don’t push too hard now.

Your Love Horoscopes for the Week of August 13th

There may be explosive devices on the road to love as sweet Venus crashes into hard aspects with volatile Uranus and provocative Pluto on Wednesday and Thursday. Radical changes in circumstances and sudden shifts in attitudes can slam shut one door, but then a window of opportunity swings open just as quickly. Stay flexible and expect the unexpected when it comes to matters of the heart. The expressive Leo New Moon on Friday morning adds another dash of drama to the mix.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Give your pursuit for romance a rest as a more patient approach to partnerships is called for this week. Irrepressible Mars joins responsible Saturn in your 7th House of Others on Wednesday to bring relationship issues to a head. You can repair damage and earn trust by being truthful about your desires. It’s not easy to deal with a demanding person or a stressful situation, but this is a chance to demonstrate that you’re willing to work for love. The bold Leo New Moon on Friday gets your weekend off to a hot and spicy start.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

This complex time is highlighted by your key planet Venus’ stressful connections with disruptive Uranus and evocative Pluto midweek. Don’t try to hold on to plans, people or values that have outlived their usefulness. If you’re willing to let go of the past and step out of your comfort zone, which admittedly isn’t easy for Taurus, Friday’s generous Leo New Moon will bring you even more pleasure in return. The transition may be a bit bumpy, but is a necessary part of your heart’s journey.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

The analytical Virgo Moon travels through your 4th House of Roots this weekend, provoking a bit of practical self-examination and possible changes on the home front. Focusing on one critical issue can lead to a breakthrough that allows you to find a successful resolution. The more willing you are to look deeply within and start making adjustments the freer you will feel. Your confidence grows when you face your inner truth and start acting upon it.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

An in-depth conversation can lead to surprisingly successful results this week. Friday’s expressive Leo New Moon falls in your 2nd House of Self-Esteem, which is ideal for rethinking your priorities when it comes to your time and energy. Clear thinking and straight talking are on the weekend’s agenda once the Moon shifts into rational Virgo and your 3rd House late Friday afternoon. Explaining yourself without letting your emotions take over can heal wounded alliances or open the way toward a new one. Don’t be shy about asking tough questions if you want to know the truth.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Friday’s New Moon in your courageous and demonstrative sign provides the drive, confidence and creativity to go after who and what you want. But you’re also guided by common sense and patience as energetic Mars and realistic Saturn align favorably with this Sun-Moon conjunction. A little bit of self-restraint is perfect for the weekend as the Moon enters practical Virgo where details count and remaining reasonable is a must.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your wit is a powerful asset this weekend with the Moon’s presence in your sharp-minded sign and brainy Mercury aligning creatively with innovative Uranus. Bright ideas attract attention but be careful to avoid being so clever your comments go over people’s heads. Pay close attention to your audience so that you can make the connections you’re seeking unless you have so much going on in your mind that you secretly wish you could be alone.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Partying with pals is perfect this Friday with the enthusiastic Leo New Moon landing in your 11th House of Groups. Even if you feel like staying home, getting together with friends is bound to boost your spirits. This New Moon aligns favorably with assertive Mars and productive Saturn in your sign, which earns you rewards thanks to your sense of responsibility. This trust is a precious asset for building lasting relationships, so treat it with the respect it deserves.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Friday’s Leo New Moon illuminates your 10th House of Career, which can put you in a leadership position. Creativity and generosity are keys to making the most of your time in the spotlight. The rest of the weekend finds the Moon in practical Virgo and your group-oriented 11th House, which can attract constructive criticism from friends. But if you’re working for a cause in which you passionately believe in, you could make a special connection that will reward you on a personal and professional level.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your challenge this weekend is to figure out how to take care of all the tasks on your plate and still have some time left over for fun. One way to do this is to start working in advance instead of leaving things until the last minute. Demonstrating how organized you can be may not sound especially enticing, but planning ahead can enhance your reputation and sends a clear message that you are someone who can be trusted.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Escaping from your usual environment puts some extra spice in your personal life this weekend. The earthy Virgo Moon will be in your 9th House of Faraway Places on Saturday and Sunday, which gets your blood pumping when you hit the road. Combining business with pleasure is recommended, but express opinions graciously since minor debates might get out of hand if you’re not careful. Think of life as an adventure and enjoy the ride.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Friday’s audacious Leo New Moon falls in your 7th House of Relationships, which is bound to heat up your personal life. An individual could come on so strong that it turns you off. Sure, you enjoy appreciation and attention but pushy people tend to make you uncomfortable because you like to feel independent. Instead, why not take the lead by making your own bold and exciting plans for your current squeeze or by openly sharing your feelings with someone you want to know better.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

There are some details to be worked out with your present partner this weekend. The analytical Virgo Moon is in your 7th House of Relationships where untangling knots is a key to happiness. If you’re single and looking, be discriminating about your connections. Don’t waste time on petty and critical people who are more into putting you down than building you up. Waiting for the right person who will cherish your heart is the first step to romantic success.
