Your Daily Horoscopes for Monday, June 11th

We get glimpses of the big changes ahead when the cosmic rock and roll takes us to a new level today. The tempo of life picks up speed as expansive Jupiter hurries into restless Gemini for a yearlong visit. Additionally, speaking the truth can stir up relationship trouble as messenger Mercury forms anxious aspects with revolutionary Uranus and transformational Pluto. Thankfully, the compassionate Pisces Moon enables us to soothe emotional turmoil.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You would prefer to keep your feelings to yourself today, but real-world obligations rudely pull you out of your inner reverie. Whether you like it or not, your attention must be focused on career issues rather than personal ones. Fortunately, a resolution to your current dilemma is possible if you state your needs with clarity. Remain relentless until you’re on a professional path that you can follow without sacrificing your integrity.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Intense discussions about your most personal values are stressful, but you might want someone else’s point of view to clarify your own. However, your plan to involve others can backfire because they might have their own strong opinions on what you should do, setting up the likelihood of a verbal disagreement. Keep a tender spot in your heart for those you love in order to minimize any unnecessary conflict.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your uncharacteristic self-analysis pulls you into the mysterious shadows of your subconscious, bringing up old issues of self-worth. However, your current anxiety is probably linked to your relationship with the material world as you worry about your finances. If money matters present a challenge today, it’s time to face whatever stands between you and your desired security. Taking a proactive approach now prevents a crisis down the road.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

An intense character may enter your life now that mischievous Mercury opposes dark Pluto, presenting you with an emotional dilemma. You must decide whether to continue on your own path or to go along with someone else’s agenda. Although everything seems dramatic now, a temporary retreat enables you to gain clarity so you know exactly which way you want to go.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You are resistant to talk too much today because you believe that others already know enough about you. Although you prefer to avoid conflict, an unexpected argument can suddenly pull you off track. Unfortunately, you might not even have a choice now. Just make certain that you fully commit to the process, since the only way you can get out is by going through it. Improve the interpersonal dynamics by showing all your cards. Exercising full disclosure is your smartest strategy.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Emotional comfort may be elusive today as verbal sparring distracts you from making a real connection with someone you love. Even a straightforward romance can grow complicated today as communicator Mercury forms tense aspects with passionate Pluto and disruptive Uranus. Nevertheless, don’t let the apparent lack of warmth discourage you. Intimacy doesn’t come without a struggle these days. Engaging in an open and honest dialogue clears the air of tension, allowing sweeter times to follow.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your desire to be impartial dredges up hidden family secrets and brings unexpressed thoughts into awareness now as you go looking for answers. Allow communicator Mercury to do his job and initiate conversations, even if sharing at an emotional level precipitates an unpleasant confrontation. Thankfully, you should emerge unscathed and even relieved if you interact willingly, instead of avoiding the issues to keep the peace.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You are like a ferryman today, shuffling to and fro between two opposing perspectives. Thankfully, you aren’t easily deceived into believing that one side is right and the other is wrong. Nevertheless, don’t get sucked into thinking your own point of view is superior to anyone else’s opinion; a bit of intellectual detachment is exactly what you need.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Although you normally say what’s on your mind, you may try to avoid expressing your feelings today because they make you uncomfortable. You might grow so passionate over a personal belief that you don’t understand how anyone else could possibly think differently. Ironically, your ideas provoke strong emotions in others which can lead to conflict. Thankfully, the turmoil will pass quickly if you face your fears with the courage of your convictions.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Even if you’re feeling optimistic now, you must still handle issues that can bring you into direct opposition with a formidable opponent. Although you are prepared for battle, you might secretly wish you could just walk away. It seems as if your life has become a series of powerful transformations. You are not who you once were, yet you’re not the person you are still becoming. Nevertheless, take it easy even in the midst of conflict, for real change takes time to unfold.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may be required to do something today that you would simply rather not do — yet your resistance is futile. You could grow angry if it appears that someone is working behind the scenes to undermine your positive efforts. Taking a self-righteous stand only makes matters worse. Rather than just reacting to other people’s demands with resentment, remain open to further discussion. You may be surprised that reaching a satisfying compromise is easier than you think.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

It might appear as if there is no solution in sight to a current disagreement. Although loyalties in friendships may be rearranging as the current passions rise, you have a secret weapon at your disposal today. Your current ability to emotionally detach while staying intellectually engaged could save the day. Carefully analyze the whole situation to locate pieces of common ground upon which everyone can stand.

New Moon Report for June 11th – Mercury square Uranus opposite Pluto

Mercury square Uranus opposite Pluto

Monday, June 11

Tender Mercury in Cancer is rocked by hard aspects to volatile Uranus and provocative Pluto that can set off fears and spur intense conversations. What we’re seeing, though, is not necessarily what we’re going to get so it’s smart to avoid overreacting to unexpected news. On the plus side, these transits give voice to powerful changes that should be managed with care and kindness. Taking time to assimilate the odd ideas and perceptions that are aroused now can make them more useful

Your Daily Horoscopes for Saturday, June 9

We know what we want, yet our clarity fades as the Moon leaves futuristic Aquarius and slips into slippery Pisces at 3:21 pm EDT. We are confused, even by simple problems, especially when the Moon joins nebulous Neptune this afternoon. We are lured further away from the facts when we’re tempted to tell stories and share fantasies. Meanwhile a complex septile between bombastic Jupiter and electric Uranus reveals a surprising twist of fate.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You think that you have a handle on the events of the day, but you’re viewing reality through a very optimistic lens. Your certainty is misleading to others who take your words at face value. Be fair to all involved by acknowledging your disorientation today before creating additional trouble. Your happiness depends on your ability to be honest with everyone, especially yourself.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You’re currently concerned about losing your practical approach to finances or misplacing your good judgment about meeting responsibilities. Although you realize that your perspective is a bit off today, you still might not make the best choices. Ultimately, fuzzy thinking can weaken your position, so steer clear of unnecessary debates for a while. Putting off significant decisions for a few days is wise because you need additional time to clarify your goals.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your vivid imagination is in overdrive today as every separate event sparks cascades of unconventional fantasies. Enjoy the show, but be careful of becoming so entranced by the distractions that you begin to think that your flights of fancy are real. You might not want to stop daydreaming, but you can simplify your life by keeping the visions to yourself for now.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You might mistakenly assume that your plan is worthwhile as long as you’re receiving approval from someone else. A close friend may complicate your life by trying to change your mind while you’re in the middle of resolving an emotional dilemma. Unfortunately, others cannot understand how deep your feelings really run, especially if you don’t usually share your innermost process. Keep your best ideas quiet for another day or two until you’re more confident about where you stand. Evaluate your own priorities by listening to your heart.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Everyone seems a bit out of it today, but their vagueness says more about you than others. Although you are working harder these days to gain more clarity in your life, the truth still seems elusive. You tend to overcompensate by limiting your delusional thinking, reducing your own creativity in the process. There’s no need to be too judgmental. When you become more accepting of yourself, everything else will appear more positive, too.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You may be feeling befuddled as you go about your chores today, but you’re struggling because you aren’t sure of your current role. Even if you have enduring routines, things are changing in ways that are difficult to understand. Instead of wasting time listing all the pros and cons of your situation, drop the analysis for now. Just show up and do what’s expected of you; set aside the major decisions until you’re more certain about where you want to go.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Although you might have a specific agenda when you wake up today, you’re likely to shift directions as the day unfolds. Trying to hold your focus grows increasingly complicated and can lead to frustration unless you’re willing to reconsider your goals and reinvent your strategy. However, even if you’re able to see into the future now, wait a few days until your feet are back on the ground before implementing anything new.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You are happy to remain in motion today, yet you’re secretly unsure that you will have a place to stop and rest later. However, your best friends might not even notice your anxiety, especially if you believe that you’re doing others a favor by keeping your needs quiet. After all, sharing your feelings now would only complicate your life. But don’t blame anyone else for a lack of support unless you’re willing to disclose more of your emotional process. Confiding in someone you trust might ease your mind more than you think.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You may be quite sentimental about your memories today as a current experience reminds you of a forgotten past event. Unfortunately, nostalgia isn’t emotionally fulfilling now, so you might look forward to the big changes ahead. Think before you speak, and be careful that your outspoken approach doesn’t hurt an old friend or lover. Ultimately, letting go of the past allows you to move freely into the future.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

A discussion with a close friend can be very fulfilling today. Normally, you’re attracted to practical conversations that can help you along on your journey through life. But now you’re more interested in sharing your fantasies with someone who won’t judge everything you say. There’s no reason to feel guilty about your desire to escape from reality. If you can let yourself go, you will return to your chores refreshed and ready to work.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

It’s difficult to express yourself clearly today because your desires are bouncing all over the place. Unfortunately, once you start talking, you quickly display a wide range of emotions, challenging others to keep up with your mood swings. Nevertheless, a more thoughtful approach enables you to minimize any uncertainty that arises from a breakdown in communication. Exploring your feelings by writing in a journal is a sensible way to ground yourself before sharing your feelings.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

The Moon’s shift into your dreamy sign increases your awareness today, allowing you to be even more intuitive than usual. But another person’s inability to comprehend your irrational approach to life might make you feel insecure now. It’s not necessary to respond to criticism or accusations; instead, be proud of your natural creativity, sensitivity and compassion.

Your Daily Career Horoscopes for June 7th

Aries

The Moon’s position in your career sector and the professional instincts this sharpens are not only of use on the income and work fronts, where you’re able to make some real progress, but in warding off any potential problems. With work/life balance issues more likely to come to a head over the next few weeks, nip as many in the bud as possible.

Taurus

Whether it comes to reviewing where you’ve been or looking ahead to your professional objectives for the rest of the year, do so with an open mind and one that reminds you that it’s all about the journey. The road to success is always under construction and a sense of hindsight is always revealing how things could be improved.

Gemini

While forces on the career front take a back seat and while you wait for the new next wave of planetary activity to kick in on the work front, you have a chance to focus more on the money. You’re at the brink of the 3 most active  income months of the year, with a chance now to start asking where the money is.

Cancer

If a lunar eclipse in your work sector 3 days ago brought things to a head on the work front, then it’s a slow and sustained professional pressure that is going to ensure there is no going back. This isn’t the kind of pressure that creates debilitating stress, rather the kind that pushes you to raise the bar and tap into your fighting spirit.

Leo

The timing of the Moon’s monthly visit to your work sector is spot on, for it comes just as some work pressure is starting to develop and just 5 days before lucky Jupiter is due to leave your career sector. This allows you to see through any pressure or urgency, allowing you to remain on your toes without sweating the small stuff.

Virgo

During yesterday’s Venus eclipse in your career sector the genie was let out of the bottle and there is no putting it back in, having revealed in all its bold statements and glaring reality exactly what you want, where things actually stand and the gulf between the two. This may have left you with a daunting task, but it’s one that you have to believe can be accomplished.

Libra

While things are settling down on the work front and you now have a chance to work behind the scenes, new doors are about to open on the career front, with a new wave on its way. With things about to heat up take a proactive approach to dealing with any work/life balance issues, taking a smart approach before anything is forced on you.

Scorpio

It’s from today that Uranus, on his own in your work sector and due to turn retrograde next month and therefore should be taking a more background role, starts to come back out of the shadows. It’s pressure from Pluto that is making it hard for things to settle down on the work front, with your mind and the laws of synchronicity just too active.

Sagittarius

At what is a critical time on both the career and work fronts, the Moon makes a timely return to your income sector, giving you a nose for money and some timely wake up calls. At a time when you’re defining your path forward on both the work and career fronts knowing where the money is, is a key element.

Capricorn

Yesterday’s Venus eclipse in your work sector is likely to have created some bittersweet feelings, for it exposed the depths of your true desires, some stark realities and the distance between the two. Had this been any ordinary year this might have been a problem, but with lucky Jupiter on his way no divide is too wide to bridge.

Aquarius

While your day will begin like any other day so far this year, with no planetary activity in either of your professional houses, it won’t stay that way. It’s Mercury’s return to your work sector that will kick off an active 3 months on the work front and the start of a wave of professional momentum that will eventually become game changing.

Pisces

With the Moon gone from your career sector things are settling back down on the career front, but having come to a head the genie is now out of the bottle and there is no putting it back in. Whatever is out in the open or has come to a head needs to stay that way with a need to now do what you can, with what you’ve got, from where you’re at.

New Moon Report for June 7 – Mercury in Cancer

Mercury in Cancer

Thursday, June 7, 4:16 am PDT, 7:16 am EDT

Thoughts are soaked with emotion with mental Mercury’s entry into this water sign. Articulating feelings and needs may come easily, yet a loss of objectivity is the price to pay for more intimate communication. Careful speech is meant to increase the sense of safety we seek in protective Cancer. Withholding information is another way to avoid conflict, yet Mercury’s hard aspects with Uranus and Pluto on June 11 reduce the likelihood of friction-free conversations next week

 

Your Daily Financial Horoscopes for June 6th

Aries

When Jupiter leaves your income sector next week it will not only leave you with no planetary activity here but in either of your money houses. It’s been all about the money for so long that it’s hard to imagine a time when it won’t be. Yet already you need to be looking at life’s other currencies and raising the bar there.

Taurus

Just 2 days after a lunar eclipse in your financial sector brought things on both the financial and income fronts to a head, a much rarer Venus eclipse falls in your income sector today. Just 6 days before lucky Jupiter is due to return to your income sector, this has the power to bring things on the income front to a turning or tipping point.

Gemini

Things start to heat up on the money front today, with the Moon’s return to your financial sector just as Mercury is preparing to return to your income sector. Over the course of the next 24 hours first your financial instincts and then a smart head for money will kick in, with a need to keep your mind and your options open as they do.

Cancer

Life and your income opportunities in particular is not like a vending machine, when you put effort in and get immediate returns. Sometimes you have to invest and put in a lot of effort on the professional front trusting that when the time is right that the income results will make it all worthwhile.

Leo

While there are some strong energies in play on both the financial and income fronts they are no longer getting in each other’s way and with very different games in play this shouldn’t be as complicated or as stressful as it once was. If you’re still feeling some financial pressure look at where you might be creating challenges where there are none.

Virgo

On his own and due to turn retrograde in your financial sector next month Uranus, planet of surprise and synchronicity should be taking a more background role than he is. But chances are you’re just as motivated and you’re just as likely to see evidence that the laws of synchronicity are still in effect.

Libra

When Jupiter, planet of luck and expansion leaves your financial sector in 6 days time he won’t return until 2023 and with no planetary activity at all until April 2013, this really is the end of the line. As impatient as you might be to get to the income generating months of the year, it’s important to resolve things on the financial front first.

Scorpio

Just 2 days after a lunar eclipse in your income sector brought things to a head or to a turning or tipping point, a much rarer Venus eclipse in your financial sector brings the focus back to your financial situation as a whole. As your financial desires and reality align, this reveals both the gap between the two and how to bridge it.

Sagittarius

The Moon returns to your income sector today, just 6 days before Jupiter is due to leave your work sector and just as Mars is moving into his final and most urgent weeks in your career sector. This is giving you both a nose for money and awakening your inner rebel, just when you were in danger of falling asleep at the wheel.

Capricorn

While you have no planetary activity in either of your money houses, with a lot of planetary activity in your income sector in the early months of the year and Venus, planet of money, desire and attraction in your work sector, it’s your income situation and matters that has your attention. That’s okay for now, so long as you don’t stick your head in the sand over financial matters.

Aquarius

In just 4 weeks from today Mars, planet of passion, drive and ambition and the warrior planet of the cosmos will leave your financial sector, wrapping up his longest visit in 47 years. There is a lot that can be accomplished in 4 weeks and Mars will be working to make sure that there is no room for regret and no stone left unturned.

Pisces

If there is any pressure on the money front it’s now more likely to be coming from income matters rather than financial matters, as it was in the past, but even then it’s more likely to motivate you. You’ve reached a point in the year when you’re most in danger of your income motivation dropping off, with any wake up calls having to be seen as a good thing.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Saturday, June 2nd

The two days before any Full Moon constitute a 48-hour time-period of preparation for the enlightening vibrations about to enter humanity and the Earth. We are now within that electro-magnetic aura since the upcoming Full Moon – with the Sun in Gemini and the Moon in Sagittarius – occurs early Monday June 4, followed by Neptune being virtually motionless as it shifts from direct to retrograde motion in Pisces. Therefore, this entire weekend has a spiritual, religious and philosophical high-vibration going on if you can tune into those rarified qualities of life. On the more practical and pragmatic levels of being, you can make headway with arts, crafts, hobbies and especially scientific-mathematical projects as Mercury makes an inspirational, 72-degree rapport with its higher-guardian planet Uranus (6:49AM PDT). Healing forces continue to show their strength (following last night’s Moon-Chiron trine) as Ceres makes an inspirational, 72-degree alliance with Chiron (1:01PM PDT). This Ceres-Chiron connection can also be utilized to alter your diet and enhance your nutritional needs. Your productivity quotient rises – as long as you don’t fall prey to the shadow side of lunar Scorpio (projecting anger on well-meaning friends, associates and family members). Strive to improve the quality of your primary partnerships tonight – courtesy of the monthly Moon-Juno union (11:36PM PDT). Mystery movies and who-done-it bestsellers can capture your imagination.

Your Weekend Lunar Love Horoscope for June 1 – 3

Weekend Love: Lunar Love

by Jeff Jawer

Depth and Delight

June 1 – 3

Friday’s cosmic energy starts the weekend off with depth and delight. The depth is found in the passionate Scorpio Moon playing a base note of emotional intensity. The urge to merge is strong, but defenses are equally strong. Scorpio’s affection travels the extremes from total desire to complete repulsion. There’s no middle ground. Yet this weekend also begins with the beautiful breeze of Mercury and Venus meeting up in airy Gemini. The conjunction of the communication and relationship planets in this clever sign invites playful conversations. Wit and charm add plenty of sparkle on Friday when flirting and curiosity rule.

Saturday reveals innovative angles of perception to open minds with a fresh perspective. Mental Mercury hooks up with brilliant and ingenious Uranus to make everyone a little smarter. Weird ideas show us how to break through long-standing problems. Conversations and plans may have to go off track for originality to run free. Besides, spontaneity is sexier than following a strict schedule. Emotions are deep in spite of our intellectual flights of fancy with the Moon lurking in mysterious Scorpio on Saturday. Our heads and hearts (or lower parts) might not be on the same page, as the difference between thinking and feeling is greater than usual now. This emotional dichotomy can make for very exciting but complicated encounters, but it’s not the best time to attempt to control relationships.

The optimistic Sagittarius Moon helps to lighten the mood on Sunday, yet we still might feel a sense of loss as we head toward a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse on Monday that puts old dreams behind us. Don’t resist the inevitable; embrace the future with an open heart.

Your Daily General Horoscopes for May 31st

Aries

Just 6 days before a rare Venus eclipse in your communication sector is set to create some spectacular communication conditions, especially when it comes to giving your heart a voice, the Moon is making a timely visit to your relationship sector. If this pushes your buttons or evokes a strong response then this is what you want, for you’re finding it easier by the day to break through old communication barriers.

Taurus

Having the Moon in your work sector is giving you an intuitive read on where things stand on the work front, on the dynamics in play and of anything you need to be alert to. This is the Moon’s last visit to your work sector before Saturn turns direct here later next month and before things really start to move on the work front. This makes this a day for listening to your hunches and for keeping your finger on the pulse and your ear to the ground.

Gemini

Just as your Venus return is drawing close to another milestone and with the planet of love already in retrograde motion, opening the door to second chances, the Moon makes a timely visit to your romantic sector. This is the Moon’s last visit to your romantic sector before Saturn turns direct here later next month and Venus turns direct in your sign, just a few days later. As well as providing an emotional link to your heart, today’s lunar vibes provide an emotional link to the past.

Cancer

The Moon wouldn’t be doing his job if his last visit to your home and family sector, while Saturn is in retrograde motion for another 30 years, didn’t also push some buttons. As the Moon moves into opposition with Uranus in your career sector, this is likely to bring any work/life balance issues to a head, but in a way that is less about warning of conflicts ahead and more about understanding what is already behind you.

Leo

With Jupiter leaving your career sector in just 12 days time and Pluto, the only planet left after that to keep the professional momentum going, already in retrograde motion in your work sector, the all or nothing professional focus of the past is already easing right back. Yet you don’t want to lose the edge or the momentum you’ve worked so hard to gain, with a need to not only work smarter but to put a self sustaining professional game plan in motion.

Virgo

The Moon wouldn’t be doing his job if his last visit to your income sector while Saturn was in retrograde motion for another 30 years didn’t push some buttons. But considering the financial tensions and pressures of the past, this is simply a monthly wake up call, but it’s because it’s the last while Saturn is in retrograde motion that this will deliver any final messages from the past. This comes as professional developments clear the way for making up for lost time on the income front.

Libra

Since returning to your sign in October 2009 Saturn has spent several months in retrograde motion each year, in retrograde motion now for the third time in as many years, but also for the last time. It’s the Moon’s last visit to your sign before Saturn turns direct and their final days together while the doors to the past are open for another 30 years; that gives you a chance to really look the past in the eye and take ownership.

Scorpio

Don’t be surprised if the wind is taken out of your sails today, with an inexplicable urge to put out the ‘do not disturb’ sign or to have an unplanned ‘duvet’ day. Give yourself permission to choose what pace you approach the day with and if you don’t feel like doing anything at all, then give yourself permission to slack off. You’ve had some busy months and the wisest thing is to listen to your body, giving yourself time to hear yourself think.

Sagittarius

You’ve reached what is an important day for networking and connecting, either with old friends or in situations where you’re able to learn from the past or make up for lost time. There is a sense of synchronicity in the air that needs to be tapped into, making it less about what is planned and more about what happens spontaneously. Don’t try and over manage or control things, but choose to remain open, plugged in and available.

Capricorn

Having the Moon in your career sector will always sharpen your professional instincts and provide some valuable hunches and clues and his position here is no exception. Yet as the Moon makes his last visit to your career sector while Saturn is in retrograde motion for another 30 years and just as things are taking off on the work front, this gives you an intuitive edge into a fast changing and developing professional situation. Keep your finger on the pulse and your ear to the ground.

Aquarius

As the Moon makes his last visit to your sector of travel, adventure, learning and discovery before Saturn turns direct later next month and for the last time while he’s in retrograde motion for another 30 years, you’ll find that your excuses are being challenged. Look at where you’ve missed out on life in the past and the excuses that you hid behind. Even though they may have been genuine in the past they can be revisited, knowing that times change and that so too do you.

Pisces

As the Moon returns to your financial sector, for the last time while Saturn is in retrograde motion here for another 30 years, you have a chance to finally get to the bottom of old financial issues or more appropriately to your reactions to old issues. While this may create some short term financial pressure, as the Moon moves into opposition with Uranus in your income sector, this is more likely to evoke a new sense of resolve.

Your Daily Cosmic Calendar for May 30th

Your creative artistic expression receives a notable boost as Venus makes an inspirational, 72-degree link to high-flying Uranus (12:52AM PDT). Some of these positive vibes could get lost in the shuffle because the Moon is in void mode in Virgo until 3:47AM PDT when the lunar orb enters airy Libra. Once the Moon enters Libran territory, strive to increase the value of your investments as Mercury makes a subtle and yet still supportive, 30-degree link to Vesta (5:21AM PDT). Healing forces are highlighted at 10:06AM PDT when the Sun squares Chiron. The question here is whether you can tweak the healing vibes in order that you successfully treat and repair old wounds and pains. If you are looking for trouble, you will undoubtedly find it around the time when the Moon makes its monthly opposition to Uranus (4:58PM PDT) quickly followed by a 90-degree struggle between Mercury in Gemini and Mars in Virgo (5:21PM PDT). Mental and emotional hassles can lead to a rise in temperamental conditions across the board. Don’t project anger on to well-meaning friends and loved ones. Find ways to negotiate agreements and settlements even with hard-nosed competitors and adversaries – if possible. Let the good times roll several hours later as the Moon forms a flowing trine of 120-degrees in air signs with the Sun (8:49PM PDT). Dismiss the moody blues by replacing ornery attitudes with a happy and enthusiastic disposition. You can feel the illuminating vibrations coming from tomorrow morning’s inspirational, 72-degree connection from Mercury to Pallas.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Sunday, May 27th

Back on March 21 – two days after the spring equinox in the Northern Hemisphere and one day before a potent New Moon – we all experienced a Sun-Mercury Inferior Conjunction while Mercury was retrograde and between the Earth and Sun. As the eminent astrologers Dr. Marc Edmund Jones and Dane Rudhyar so clearly wrote in the 20th century, a Sun-Mercury-Earth alignment with Mercury in reverse is equivalent to a New Mercury. However, several months later, there is a Full Mercury – like the one happening today at 7 degrees of Gemini (4:20AM PDT), but where Mercury is on the far side of the Sun and moving at top speed. Thus, our Full Mercury is equivalent to a Full Moon – where enlightened thoughts and ideas are ripe for the picking. Adding to the festive environment – artistically and socially – is a Moon-Venus supportive, 60-degree rapport (6:58AM PDT). Revelations continue to pour in when Mercury makes a constructive, 60-degree alliance with its higher-octave guardian planet Uranus (4:37PM PDT). Hit the metaphysical and scientific books with a vengeance. Meanwhile, emotional volatility can be rising as the Moon parallels the red planet Mars (4:52PM PDT). Shortly thereafter, the Moon begins a void lunar cycle at 4:55PM PDT – lasting until 11:07PM PDT when the Moon enters industrious and meticulous Virgo. Finish odds and ends during the 6+ hour void lunar cycle, but don’t launch major undertakings. Get extra rest and sleep overnight as the celestial spotlight remains centered on Mercury’s many alignments.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for May 26th

Upward and onward! There should be little hesitation going on during this freewheeling Saturday. The Moon in Leo forms a constructive and creative, 60-degree link with the Sun in Gemini (1:42AM PDT). Adding excitement and stimulation to the psychic atmosphere is a flowing trine between the Moon and Uranus in fire signs (5:45AM PDT). This could be a banner day for antique hunters and collectible aficionados as estate sales, auctions and art fairs look promising. Your productivity quotient is ready to soar into the stratosphere as the Moon parallels Ceres (12:26PM PDT). Anytime Ceres receives the good-housekeeping seal of approval from the Moon, there is an extra emphasis on eating more nutritious foods and improving your diet. Find time to let your inner child run the show under the happy energy-field sustained by Leo Moon. Attend a piano recital, musical concert or new film showing at your local theater. Be prepared to receive the incoming tide of cosmic seed-ideas – eager to enter and simultaneously enlighten human minds – as the Sun-Mercury Superior Conjunction happens on Sunday morning.

The Daily Cosmic Calendar for Sunday, May 20

 

The last week has been filled with many unusual days and a wide variety of powerful alignments. Here is another 24-hour time-span when you need to be on your toes and ready for anything. Healing forces are reinforced as Mercury makes an inspirational, 72-degree contact with Chiron (4:27AM PDT). Additional good news arrives during the monthly Moon-Jupiter union in Taurus (5:36AM PDT). Optimistic vibes are dominant, but this lunar conjunction with the largest planet in the solar system also begins a void uncertainty zone that lasts until 4:06PM PDT. It is during the void time-period that the Sun shifts from earthy Taurus to airy Gemini (8:17AM PDT) while Uranus shocks Mercury via a tense, 45-degree link (3:06PM PDT). Even though the Moon leaves void status at 4:06PM PDT, the New Moon at 1 degree Gemini doesn’t take place until 4:48PM PDT. Then six minutes later, the exact moment of the Annular Solar Eclipse reaches its culmination. This kind of eclipse indicates that a narrow ring of sunlight is visible beyond the dark circle of the Moon because the lunar orb is too close to Earth to fully block out all sunlight. Nevertheless, this eclipse can be as potent and meaningful as a total one. Southern China, Japan, the Northern Pacific Ocean and Western America (mainly Northern California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico and Western Texas) are in the pathway of this solar-lunar rendezvous. Eclipses were often feared by our ancestors because they didn’t understand the science, math and stellar geometry behind such occurrences. It is best to see today’s event as a super-duper New Moon – where you are being galvanized to take several leaps forward in your main areas of expertise as well as in favorite hobbies. Vesta in a flowing trine of 120-degrees to Pluto (9:15PM PDT) is an extra signal from our cosmic brothers and sisters that you can make a lot of progress in the business and investment realms if you are determined, disciplined and use common sense.

Your Daily Cosmic Calendar for May 16th

There’s no rest for the weary! Ten important celestial seasonings are about to be sprinkled on all of our lives. Here’s the complete list as the Sun forms a contra-parallel with Pluto (1:35AM PDT), the Moon in Aries unites with Uranus (5:12AM PDT), Mars trines Pluto (9:27AM PDT), Venus makes a 30-degree tie to Jupiter (1:42PM PDT), Vesta makes a similar, 30-degree link to Uranus (2:29PM PDT), Jupiter forms an off-kilter, 150-degree connection to Saturn (3:43PM PDT), the Moon parallels Mars (7:39PM PDT), Mercury makes a frictional, 45-degree tie to Pallas (8:28PM PDT), Ceres contacts Neptune via an inspirational, 72-degree link (10:04PM PDT), and Mars opposes Chiron (11:57PM PDT). To some extent, the aspects are almost divided between favorable and challenging. However, Jupiter at loggerheads with Saturn must top the list and this liaison is clearly discordant – particularly on the business and professional fronts. Therefore, attempting to throw your weight around in these areas of life is foolish and illogical. Even though the Moon with Uranus speaks of potential innovation and Ceres in touch with Neptune equates with a possible rising tide of productivity, the two largest planets (Jupiter and Saturn) suggesting the need for a major readjustment is top dog right now. Of course, you can attempt to tweak each difficult alignment – when they occur – and see if you gain some kind of mileage around those time-periods. Nevertheless, the overall mood in the psychic atmosphere is a lot of stress and strain are happening, and if you can play the role of Good Samaritan or cheerleader to shut-ins and the disadvantaged, by all means do so.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Tuesday, May 8th

This is a good point in the calendar to remind you that solar and planetary alignments don’t just disappear off the astro-psychic radar screen a day after they occur. Therefore, last night’s Jupiter-Uranus and Mars-Uranus high jinx remain a threat to everyone’s decorum and well-being today. Their potentially mischievous vibrations are somewhat diminished, but still reverberating a little below the threshold of consciousness. Fortunately, we don’t have giant-sized replacements to take their place until tomorrow when four fairly major alignments reach exactitude. For the most part, you can indulge in favorite arts, crafts, hobbies and pastimes during much of today under fiery and enthusiastic Sagittarius Moon. Communication channels are reasonably clear in the hours building up to the Moon making a flowing trine of 120-degrees to Mercury (6:35PM PDT). Once this exactly occurs, the lunar orb is void, but only for 26 minutes until 7:01PM PDT when the Moon enters industrious, hardworking Capricorn. This is a signal to be more focused on fulfilling career ambitions and energizing professional plans during the next two days. Assisting your efforts in this regard is Mercury entering earthy, persistent Taurus (10:16PM PDT) until May 24. If you are feeling a strange sense of buoyancy and even euphoria overnight, chalk it up to the approach of the mind-expanding Sun parallel Jupiter (forming precisely at 5:39AM PDT tomorrow morning).

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Monday, April 7th

While Sagittarius Moon usually stimulates goodwill, a happy-go-lucky disposition and the urge for adventure in the great outdoors, these dynamics are present and yet somewhat muted because of the approach of two, highly-charged, challenging sky patterns. Jupiter in Taurus and Uranus in Aries reach a provocative, 45-degree liaison (7:10PM PDT) while Mars makes a contentious, off-kilter 150-degree contact with radical-change agent Uranus (11:46PM PDT). Since these two aspects are far-and-away, the major alignments affecting everyone on Planet Earth today, the early hours may not seem so intense. However, as the hours unfold, unsettled affairs can become more iffy, pressure-filled and volatile. Therefore, it is advisable to keep a low profile across the board for this 24-hour time-period. Have fun in exploring literary and educational pursuits – via the lunar presence in upbeat, goal-oriented Sagittarius – but don’t push a personal agenda with such determination and ego-investment that you wind up alienating colleagues, friends and dear ones during the second half of the day, and especially during the evening hours. If at all possible, avoid everything associated with legal matters, key signings and long-range commitments. At the same time, be as sensitive and nurturing as you can with loved ones on the ropes who need your kindness and support.

Your Daily Cosmic Calendar for April 27th

You may be in for a cosmic treat as the universe offers you another rare day when instead of being in attack mode – via solar, lunar and planetary fireworks – it remains behind the scenes and fairly quiescent. Consequently, the Moon in its home sign of Cancer plays a larger role than usual, and this can mean enjoyment for you in cooking, baking, gardening and taking care of work around your residence. Venus and Uranus offer a delightful rapport by making an inspirational, 72-degree connection early (3:33AM PDT). This tie between the traditional planet of love and beauty and the shocking planet of revolutionary action can still manage to lift your spirits in creative artistic expression, social affairs and in ingenious business planning. Another boost arrives on the scene at 1:00PM PDT when the Moon makes a supportive, 60-degree link to giant Jupiter. Golden opportunities and worldly success may be within your grasp. Let the power of positive thinking guide you forward. Enjoy a nature trek or visit an arboretum to savor the blessings of Mother Nature. Weather-permitting, water sports and idyllic strolls along a favorite stream, river or ocean can stir the soul. Friday’s easy-going character may not continue early on Saturday as another long void lunar cycle is scheduled to appear on the scene starting at 12:07AM PDT tomorrow and last until 9:12AM PDT. Steer clear of major decision-making overnight.

Mercury in Aries: Watch Your Mouth!

Mercury in Aries: Watch Your Mouth!

Brace yourself for fast talk and even speedier thoughts

Tarotcom Staff on the topics of mercury, astrology, aries

Mercury is the sprightly planet that impacts how we think and how we express ourselves. Are you ready for fast talk and even speedier thoughts? Brace yourself: Mercury is moving back into always-on-the-go Aries on Monday, April 16 at 3:42 p.m. (PDT) / 6:42 p.m. (EDT), lifting us out of a dreamy daze in how we perceive the world and people around us. As Mercury transitions from peaceful Pisces to bold and brash Aries, our minds and our words will get less poetic and more action-oriented.

Aries is a Fire sign known for being impulsive, so be careful what you say! Comments might come out of your mouth before they’re fully formed, giving them a tinge of sarcasm or even an edge of insult — whether you intend them to or not. And even if we think we know the full impact of our words, there’s the danger that we haven’t thought far enough ahead about the effect they’ll have on those we care about.

At the same time, Aries is the first zodiac sign — literally, a true leader in Astrology. Our thoughts and speech could become more courageous, yes, but more than that, this pioneering sign could make us more innovative, too. It will be easier to think of fresh, brilliant solutions to nagging problems as we receive rushes of fresh inspiration. And with rebellious Uranus in Aries, too, we can really expect this innovative energy to fly off the charts.

But catch this inspiration as fast as it comes, because Aries is not known for being patient. In fact, it may be more difficult to complete everyday tasks if they lack the flavor of excitement.

Here are some tips to embrace the best parts of Mercury in Aries:

Don’t…

…get too caught up in the excitement of the moment; reconsider any commitments you’re about to make.
…allow yourself to get trapped in an argument, because neither you nor your friends or lover will be in the most logical place to resolve an issue.
…jump into too many new things at once.

Do…

…enjoy the fresh perspective you’ll experience when the no-holds-barred warrior sign takes control of your mental life!
…apply your taste for adventure and desire for new experiences to shake up your daily routine.

Your Cosmic Calendar for April 18th

Racing out of the starting gate this morning is not a priority when the Moon continues its movement being void in Pisces until 9:00AM PDT. Revelations lift your consciousness to new heights as Pallas forms an inspirational, 72-degree tie to distant Pluto (5:26AM PDT). Problem-solving and strategy sessions are energized even though the Moon is out-of-sorts at the tail end of the last sign of the zodiac. Watch out for a rising tide of confusion on the relationship front as the Sun is contra-parallel Neptune (6:45AM PDT). It is better to meditate for guidance than allow an overly-eager temperament to lead you into unnecessary hot water in affairs of the heart. Once the Moon enters fiery Aries (9:00AM PDT), be more assertive and dynamic across the board. Show off your communication and business skills as the Moon unites with Mercury (12:29PM PDT). Check in with family members and focus on your parental responsibilities as Ceres makes a contra-parallel with Saturn (1:36PM PDT). Don’t let this Ceres-Saturn tussle throw a monkey-wrench into your daily tasks and chores. Dive headlong into advances on the cutting edge of science, medicine and metaphysics during the monthly Moon-Uranus union (8:46PM PDT). Today’s lunar conjunctions with Mercury and Uranus are a reminder that these two important planets already merged together on March 5 and 18, and are gearing up for a third rendezvous on Sunday April 22.

Your Daily Cosmic Calendar for April 17th

Every so often the universe goes on a 24-hour siesta and this can happen especially during an extended void-of-course lunar cycle. As the Moon forms a supportive, 60-degree tie to Jupiter (7:35AM PDT) – stimulating what appears to be an optimistic trend of thinking – the Moon also starts a long void uncertainty zone that lasts until 9:00AM PDT tomorrow. Under these questionable circumstances, pushing your personal agenda too far too fast can backfire against you. It is much wiser to mellow out completely for a change of pace. Enjoy playing board, card or word games – particularly as the Moon unites with Pallas (4:00PM PDT). Weaving, needlepoint, painting, and working with clay are other ways to tune into the celestial gifts coming from Pallas. Don’t be surprised if revelatory ideas soar into your consciousness like meteors lighting up the night sky as Mercury makes a contra-parallel with its higher-octave planet Uranus (7:49PM PDT). Spiritual studies, yoga, tai chi, sacred dance, chanting and visualization exercises make a perfect fit into the vacuum created by the Moon being void and located in other-worldly Pisces.
