Cosmic Calendar for November 8th

As mentioned at the end of yesterday’s calendar entry, this day starts off with some extra oomph in the right direction as the Moon parallels Jupiter (1:39AM PST). Even though this lunar aspect won’t last a long time, it reinforces optimism as the day begins. Since the Moon in Aries opposes Saturn in Libra (10:11AM PST), the earlier lunar contact with buoyant Jupiter can help to keep you out of the doldrums. In addition, excitement builds around the time when the Sun makes a frictional, 135-degree link to Uranus (11:40AM PST). Uranus strong can equate with a rising tide of surprises and shock waves, but you may also make advances on the cutting edge of science and metaphysics. A Moon-Mars parallel (2:34PM PST) suggests a slow-down around that time-period in order that you avoid making rash acts that will boomerang against you. Another reason to slow your tempo today is that Venus and Mercury form abrasive, 45-degree ties to Saturn at 5:42PM PST and 7:11PM PST, respectively. Be more productive in arts, crafts and hobbies as the Sun in Scorpio forms a flowing trine to Ceres in Pisces (8:40PM PST). This aspect doubles as a catalyst to help you make sensible dietary and nutritional changes. Physical and emotional vitality is on the rise – courtesy of the Moon in Aries trine to Mars in Leo (9:47PM PST). However, this alignment also starts a void lunar cycle that lasts until 11:46PM PST when the Moon enters earthy Taurus. Gear up for tomorrow’s Neptune shift from reverse to direct in Aquarius as well as the upcoming Full Moon and Chiron shift from reverse to direct in Pisces on Thursday.

Daily Horoscopes for Sunday, November 6th

The day begins with the compassionate Pisces Moon reflecting our need to feel connected with others. The sign of the Fish reminds us that we are not isolated and that we share the Sea of Consciousness with everyone. But swimming in a school doesn’t last once the Moon blasts into independent Aries at 2:02 pm EDT. The Moon’s impulsive conjunction with irrepressible Uranus excites us with the idea of self-expression, without regard for much else.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Lightning strikes within your brain today, and you are eager to share your brilliant new ideas with anyone who will listen. You are fired up and may be quite pleased with your own ingenuity. Unfortunately, you can lose interest in what you’re doing before you really gain traction. Don’t worry if nothing reaches fruition; you current thoughts will continue to develop and cycle back in a day or two when you’re ready to take them to the next level.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

An unexpected shift in your thinking could be precipitated by someone who decides to change shared plans without necessarily telling you. This can be problematic because it impacts the rest of your day, too. You might be resistant to adjusting your schedule to accommodate another person, but it’s not wise to be stubborn now. Instead, demonstrate your cooperative spirit by being as flexible as possible. You’ll gain more respect if others see you as a team player.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You would like to be acknowledged as a reliable person who is responsible to your friends, family and community. However, you may not be fully committed to walking your talk today. Although others could have high expectations, you might not be interested in paying the price to earn the respect you want. Nevertheless, instead of wasting your time in idle fantasy, show up and play your part as best you can. Even if it’s not your first choice, the rewards can still be very satisfying.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You think that you can hear the future calling you today, and you want to get things rolling. But you aren’t sure whether or not to take the whole thing seriously. Rest assured the opportunity is worth pursuing, so don’t waste time wondering if it’s real. It doesn’t matter; just pick up the imaginary phone and engage the possibilities.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You feel very connected to someone special today, only to suddenly withdraw or be pushed away. If you are rejected, your partner’s unexpected behavior could be quite upsetting. Fortunately, it won’t take you long to recover, but you may keep your defenses up for a bit to be on the safe side. It’s fine to retreat a little, but don’t back up so far that you end up isolating yourself from someone you love.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You may be looking forward to breaking out of a rut today, but might let the opportunity to try something new slip away without giving it a shot. Thinking about taking a risk sounds better than it actually is, because you ultimately believe that you will be happier if you stick to what’s already familiar. Ironically, avoiding change seems safer, but suppressing your desires could precipitate an unexpected event that you cannot control. Follow your initial instinct and shake things up a bit.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

A sudden break in your routine catches you off guard today. It may seem as if someone else’s refusal to cooperate with you further complicates your day. However, if nothing out of the ordinary happens by evening, stir up some mischief on your own. Ultimately, something must change and if you don’t make it happen, the cosmos might just do it for you.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Even if you feel stuck today, a sudden shift of energy or a burst of enthusiasm can set you into motion. You might attempt to initiate much-needed change, but nothing will come of your efforts if you act prematurely. Wait until you can sense that the time is right. Your patience will be rewarded with a high level of accomplishment, but it might take a few days before you can fully appreciate your success.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Although you might try to avoid your responsibilities today, your conscience gnaws at you and reminds you that you must do what you promised. But you may not be coming from a place of passion now; instead you could attempt a half-hearted effort just to get by. Unfortunately, your current detachment can create additional problems if you pretend that everything is okay. Wait it out; inspiration will likely come later in the day.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You are unable to maintain total control over your own schedule now, for your roommates or family members may not cooperate as you expect. Even if you’re upset because your plans fall through today, don’t shift the blame to anyone else. No matter how it appears to you, no one is trying to sabotage your efforts. It may come as a surprise, but the cause of your current instability is you.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may not be able to turn your plans into reality today because there are some interesting twists and turns that can change the direction of your day. A totally unexpected event might send you into an emotional tailspin if you try to hold on to the past. However, it can prove to be quite exciting if you’re ready to launch into your unknown future. Rigid thinking turns small problems into larger ones, so remain open to the surprising possibilities ahead.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You can’t hide your feelings forever with the Moon lingering in your sign today. It’s as if you are wearing your emotions on your sleeve for everyone to see, even if you try to show your sensitivity by acting kindly to those around you. Nevertheless, your sudden emotional outbreak may surprise others when the Moon enters hotheaded Aries. Don’t hold back; expressing yourself in the moment can be just what’s needed to encourage someone else to say what’s on his or her mind, too.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Friday, Nov. 4th

The Moon slips into psychic Pisces at 3:17 am EDT, misleading us into believing that we know what others are thinking. However, we may be projecting our own needs without even realizing what we’re doing. Although we are less agitated than we were yesterday, we can feel the lingering effects of irrepressible Uranus’ trines to seductive Venus and witty Mercury. Thankfully, our erratic emotions should continue to settle down throughout the day.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Being swept away by your fantasies won’t be problematic today as long as you remember to fulfill your responsibilities, too. Give yourself permission to explore socially unconventional attractions in the discreet privacy of your own mind. But the lesson of the Moon’s visit to your 12th House of Secrets is that you don’t need to turn every crazy dream into something real. Some thoughts are better kept to yourself.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Instead of simply continuing your business as normal, it’s more exciting today to shake things up and try a different approach. It may be difficult to live up to someone else’s expectations of what you should do since you have your own method to explore. Your key planet Venus continues to lure you into unexplored territory as she harmonizes with freedom-loving Uranus. Thankfully, your closest friends should be quite supportive now, so there’s no need to hold back.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You don’t want so much supervision at work and, thankfully, you stand a good chance to gain more independence today. But dreaming about more freedom doesn’t automatically give you the results you desire. You must clearly ask for what you need while being ready to bolster your request with solid logic. Don’t forget to keep up with your previous commitments or you’ll lose the trust that you already earned.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Typically, you choose the safer road in a relationship, yet these aren’t typical times. You’re brimming with exciting ideas about how to live your life in a more productive manner. You are eager to try something new and to break the mold in how you usually express yourself. Keep in mind that there’s no need to explain your choices to anyone; let them draw their own conclusions based upon your actions alone.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You have a chance to demonstrate your special brand of love to a close friend or family member. But this day isn’t about buying gifts or making magnanimous gestures; it’s about being patient and taking enough time to nurture others. Your ability to encourage their independence and help them move beyond their self-imposed limitations can be of immeasurable benefit. Don’t worry about expressing your feelings, for your words can be the catalyst that someone else needs at this time.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

A business partnership or friendship can seem a bit weird today if one of you suddenly refuses to play by the regular rules. If someone unexpectedly cancels a social engagement, try not to make a really big deal of it. Rolling with unexpected changes can turn disappointment into enthusiasm. Remain flexible and you might be happily surprised with the outcome.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your key planet Venus is searching for some unusual interpersonal connections at work today as your regular routine is unexpectedly turned upside down. Unfortunately, the more you try to follow a tight schedule now, the more frustrated you become. There’s no need to panic while stepping out of your comfort zone. Be true to your spirit and try something radically different.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Playful Venus in your 2nd House of Self-Esteem is still boldly prancing about with wild and crazy Uranus today. It’s very empowering to express yourself in ways that you might usually frown at. You have a sparkle in your eyes that increases your charm, so step up and live your life as if you were free as a bird. Thankfully, you’re able to take a risk and spread your wings now without losing anything in the process.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Allow space for everyone to bring a different perspective to the table today, even if there’s disagreement within the group. Your uncharacteristically narrow field of vision can create more harm than good now, so don’t close off your thinking. You might be so caught up in your own viewpoint that you take your argument too far. You’ll do fine if you remember that yours isn’t the only correct position.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You are able to pull a rabbit out of a hat today, arriving at an elegant solution to a tricky problem that’s left others confused. However, formulating a concrete plan that ensures your success is only half of the deal. The other part requires you to work really hard until all the details are finished. You can actually turn your great idea into reality by following through on what you start.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

The Moon’s current visit to your 2nd House of Resources urges you to be careful with your cash, for you could easily find yourself spending more than you have for something you really don’t need. Impulsive purchases are not helpful, because you could be overly attracted to the glamor of having certain possessions now. Find meaningful things to do with your friends to reconnect with what’s most important.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may feel like arguing with your co-workers today and doing things your own way just to prove that you’re really different from everyone else. Normally, you might provoke a negative judgment when you do something that appears out-of-the box. But now, people look at you with admiration, wondering how you get away with such unconventional behavior so easily. But even your charm is not as simple as it appears; doing the extra work, at least, sets a wonderful example.

Your Daily Horoscopes for November 3rd

Today’s ingenious Aquarius Moon can make us so clever that we end up fooling ourselves. Flirty Venus and mischievous Mercury are a charming planetary pair in fiery Sagittarius and their exciting trines to electric Uranus galvanize our senses and attract us toward unconventional expressions of love. The Moon’s midday trine to cautious Saturn temporarily stabilizes things, but her evening opposition to Mars might stir up an unnecessary conflict.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may be lured close to the edge of an emotional cliff today, yet you’re probably ready to jump even if you recognize the potential danger. Fortunately, you have a bit of magic working in your favor now and gravity might not send you crashing toward the ground. Take a risk by sharing your thoughts or feelings with someone you trust. You could be pleasantly surprised by where the conversation leads.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Typically, you take a practical approach to love, but today your mind is enticing you to explore some unconventional possibilities that are very exciting. Luckily, you’re in an experimental mood and are eager to connect with someone in a completely different way. But don’t venture too far too fast unless you’re sure that you really want to go there.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You can fall in love with a weird idea or an unusual person today, even if you find yourself somewhere you’ve never been before. You don’t get to recycle your same old fantasies now; familiar territory just won’t hold your attention. Enjoy playing on a new social playground, but pay attention or you might find it difficult to find your way home later on.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Although you have high hopes about accomplishing a lot at work today, save the self-judgment for another day if you don’t reach your goals. Rather than setting yourself up for disappointment, consider declaring the day a personal holiday, instead. Anything you can do to stir up excitement is a good idea. Remember, you can always fulfill your responsibilities tomorrow.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

It begins to dawn on you today that your newfound freedom isn’t just some passing phase; it’s your life. Although you might have twinges of nostalgia, your future looks brighter than your past. An unconventional person may be encouraging you to take a risk by embarking on an adventure. But even if there’s travel in your future, the real journey comes from opening your heart to the idea of something new and different.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your emotions may conflict with your logic now that the Moon is visiting your 6th House of Details. But attempts at resolving the tension won’t bring you happiness, for you’re being pulled in two directions today. Trust your instincts and take a chance on following your gut reaction. You can always reconsider your priorities in a couple of days when your cool-headed analysis kicks back in.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You want to believe what others tell you, but you might realize that someone is stretching the truth today. Ironically, this doesn’t bother you much as long as you like what you’re being told. Anyway, you might try to hide your feelings now because you’re attracted to something unusual. Nevertheless, Venus harmonizes with quirky Uranus, so taking the extra step and sharing your fantasy can be fun. Nearly anything is possible if you aren’t overly attached to the outcome.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You may feel very confident about your finances today, even if reality doesn’t fully support your conclusions. Nevertheless, you’re able to break out of the mold you placed yourself in by imagining your life very different than it is now. Although you might want to be in a new situation right away, it’s going to take time. Instead of feeling frustrated, give yourself permission to envision everything just as you want it. Remember, the next phase of your journey is just beginning.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Ironically, when your fantasies grow more real, they can also become less tempting. Your current desires may lead you down a totally unfamiliar path, and the closer you get to the end, the more uncertain you are about your choice. There is a delicate line between your unbridled imagination and what’s actually possible now. Fortunately, if you’re willing to take a risk, you can make an impossible dream come true.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You are known for your down-to-earth practicality, and normally you can manage the details of your life as needed. But now you’re more likely to dream about having fun than taking care of the business at hand. Although you’re not sure about just abandoning all your responsibilities, you should be able to get away with letting some things slide today as long as you commit to catching up with your work later on.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

This can be a perfect day to fall in love, whether or not you’re on the lookout for romance. Venus and Mercury harmonize with your key planet, Uranus, charging your system with natural charisma and irrepressible desire. There’s no need to worry about stability now; it’s the possible thrill that grabs your attention. However, just because you are attracted to an unusual situation, it’s still not wise to act on every impulse. Consider the consequences before doing anything you might later regret.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

If you could quietly slip into another dimension, every color would be perfectly matched while your favorite music was playing. Fortunately, there’s no need to travel to a parallel universe today, for everything desirable seems as if it’s right around the next corner, even if you never get there. Instead of trying to make all your dreams come true, pick one and strive to make it real.

Cosmic Calendar for Saturday, Octoger 29

uddenly, it is as though the universe has experienced a meltdown or concussion and lost its bearings. Instead of attacking humanity with cosmic guns blazing, it is receding to the sidelines – undoubtedly to refuel and eventually get cracking with more intensity during the first week of November. Right now you have a Saturday where Venus forms a robust parallel to Pluto (8:16AM PDT) – a rather intense alignment on most days. However, this morning it appears to be a boost for antique hunters and collectible aficionados as well as artists of any stripe. Of course, if you fall into the trap of being egocentric and selfish – for whatever reason – this Venus-Pluto encounter can turn against you. While many of yesterday’s potent alignments remain active in the psychic atmosphere, you can also take advantage of the fun-loving, humorous and cheerful essence contained within Sagittarius Moon. Here’s another evening to kick up your feels and enjoy your favorite form of entertainment. If you want to continue working on beloved hobbies or construction projects, positive lunar aspects to Saturn (8:19PM PDT) and Mars (11:04PM PDT) will keep you busy.

Your Weekend Lunar Lovescope for Oct. 28 – 30

Weekend Love: Lunar Love

by Jeff Jawer

Pushing the Limits

October 28 – 30

Unlimited enthusiasm and an irrepressible taste for adventure can take you on some wild and crazy rides on Friday and Saturday. The Moon is in fiery Sagittarius whose Archer is aiming his arrows at faraway places and far-flung experiences. The desire to broaden your horizons is amplified by the Sun’s opposition to Sagittarius’ expansive ruling planet Jupiter on Friday night. Even the most cautious individuals may be ripe for risk-taking in this bold but perhaps dangerous environment. Pushing the limits of what you’re willing to feel or do can certainly open social doors, but a lack of discrimination and common sense could allow people in who you won’t want to see the next day. It’s wise to reach a little further in search of love but to avoid losing balance by losing your head.

Sunday’s story is very different with the Moon in orderly and responsible Capricorn. But even this disciplined sign may find you in a less than sober mood, since the Moon forms a stressful square with explosive Uranus early in the day and joins transformative Pluto in the evening. The former spurs spontaneous reactions that can rattle relationships. The needs for freedom and freshness are powerful enough to stretch the strongest bonds, but exacting Pluto can punish excessive or inappropriate behavior, making self-restraint a must.

New Moon Report for October 28 – Jupiter trine Pluto

Jupiter trine Pluto

Friday, October 28

Generous Jupiter brings hope in times of despair with its favorable trine to profound Pluto. This, the second in a series of three alignments that first occurred on July 7 and will return on March 12, 2012, helps us reassess our resources and redirect them more effectively. Jupiter in Taurus’ vision for the future is built on simple and solid principles while Pluto’s presence adds depth of awareness and commitment that makes the most of our assets. Financial resurrection and other economic miracles may follow

 

Today’s Horoscopes for Tuesday, October 25th

We may feel the emotional intensity of the passionate Venus-Pluto semisquare today, but the Sun’s uncomfortable quincunx to erratic Uranus tempts us to avoid our feelings. Unfortunately, something can remind us of a past relationship that didn’t work out. Instead of acting defensively by retreating, it’s healthier to face our fears. Thankfully, the calm Libra Moon helps us keep things in perspective as we make decisions about the present moment.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You might attempt to withdraw from a conflict with a friend because you don’t want to reveal too much about your inner process. You would like to make your point diplomatically, but could say something you’ll quickly regret today if you become overly emotional. Meanwhile, you know that escapist behavior won’t benefit you in the long run. Take a risk and say what’s on your mind because you have a chance now to overcome your current resistance to change.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Encountering obstacles at work is never fun, but today someone who has been in your way may be ready to move aside. Ironically, you might not have to say anything, for your actions will have more impact than your words. However, you can’t get away with just going through the motions; your behavior must be consistent with what’s in your heart. Your path should clear once you acknowledge that your fears have been fueling the resistance you faced.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You might try to avoid making a commitment today because you think that you’ll be better off if you keep your options open. Unfortunately, you could miss out on a great opportunity if your irrational fears warp your judgment. Instead, consider how making plans gives you the structure you need to increase your productivity. If your creative endeavors don’t pan out as you expect, you can always redirect your efforts later in the day.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Your emotional perceptions are keen today, but you could inadvertently mix up old memories with the current situation. Your insecurities may be tied to an old pattern of attachment that has been followed by disappointment. But you’re not obliged to repeat the past; instead, clear your slate by retelling your story in a new and different way, one that doesn’t place blame on anyone else for your feelings. Once you take full responsibility for your reactions, you’ll be freer to open your heart even wider.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You could gain strength now from realizing a new sense of purpose, but you must also acknowledge the inherent weaknesses of those in your immediate environment. Someone else’s shortcomings can remind you of your own fears. Or, perhaps, taking care of a loved one might drain you more than you wish. There aren’t any simple answers today; nevertheless, your loyalty to those you love will bring priceless rewards.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Clarity is returning, but it still is too soon for you to make any big decisions. Your emotions continue to cloud your cool analytical style, even if you can tell where the current situation is leading. Attempts to make changes today may not be very effective, for they tend to be subsumed by larger shifts that are coming your way. Avoid impulsive action that’s prompted by frustration; patience is your best strategy.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Don’t worry about someone who thinks that you should be more decisive today. Your strength originates in your ability to understand all sides of an issue, especially now that so many people are stuck in their negative perceptions. Your friends will ultimately appreciate how you can quickly spot the potential that someone else might pass by without ever noticing.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You might need to face some ghosts from your past, buy they’re not likely frightening enough for you to totally avoid them today. Thankfully, your desires are strong now, luring you to the edge of excitement, even if you still need to work out more details before you can achieve satisfaction. Don’t let old fears stand in the way of an exciting possibility that is right around the corner.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You may feel pulled between your desire to stay involved as a member of a team and your need to spend some time alone. Fortunately, if you have been working diligently, you should be able to escape for a while without others minding your temporary absence. Although you could benefit from a bit of quiet time now, you’ll still be able to reconnect with your co-workers without having any regrets about missing some of the action today.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You are thinking about your future, but a part of you stays in the present moment because you have concerns that haven’t yet been addressed today. Maybe you’re afraid that you won’t have enough time, money or love to fulfill your dreams. Although this is a real dilemma, you will gain more from having an enjoyable experience now than worrying about what may or may not arrive later.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You need your independence now and might become rebellious if you’re told that you cannot do something. You have additional emotional charges because of the similarity between the obstacles you face today and ones that you previously couldn’t overcome. Although being hesitant in the past was a smart idea, today you could push through these old insecurities. If your ideas are truly worthwhile, they’re also worth defending.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may feel nervous about taking a risk today, but you’ll gain confidence once you let your heart lead the way. Confidently move through your logical concerns and allow your emotions to lead you through the uncertainty. Don’t rush your process; you could ruin the outcome if you move too quickly. However, pushing against your anxiety like a sailboat leans into the wind gives you the maximum advantage and an excellent chance for success.

Cosmic Calendar for Tuesday, October 25th

It would be great to say that happy days are here again, but the cosmos does not seem to be offering that testimony right now. Instead, last night’s Sun-Uranus 150-degree contact hangs over today as a kind of gigantic question mark concerning whether a breakdown or breakthrough is in the ethers. Keep moving toward a breakthrough in higher consciousness as the Sun makes a contra-parallel with Jupiter (3:16AM PDT) and despite the rude awakenings caused by Venus moving harshly via 45-degrees to Pluto (6:10AM PDT) and while the Sun evokes the wrath of Ceres via a 135-degree connection (7:56AM PDT). These three alignments are all of the challenging kind – although the Sun and Jupiter in their formation can lift your spirits if you are studying any subject of importance in the spheres of knowledge and wisdom. The Venus-Pluto and Sun-Ceres contacts are more akin to being emotional trouble-makers and, if you add on the monthly, cautionary Moon-Saturn union in Libra (7:05PM PDT), the whole tone of the day looks rather gloomy. This is magnified because we are now in the extreme time-period known as the dark-of-the-moon or the Balsamic Moon when the lunar orb is about to re-unite with its solar partner as the New Moon in Scorpio occurs tomorrow at 12:57PM PDT. Therefore, think of today’s 24-hour time-period as a golden opportunity to finish old business with a flourish and not to allow negative thinking to spoil any progress you can make along the relationship horizon.

Blessed Tuesday to you, my friends!

Your Horoscopes for Monday, October 24th

We are aware of the power of our passions now that the Sun, Mercury and Venus are swimming in the deep waters of Scorpio. But the Moon’s shift into diplomatic Libra at 11:49 am EDT reminds us that compromise can establish common ground in relationships. Nevertheless, acquiescing isn’t easy with constrictive Saturn also in Libra. We try to be objective, but still can lose our cool as the Moon opposes wild Uranus and squares fierce Pluto.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may try to please everyone today, but you could end up alienating others if you don’t consider your needs, too. The social Libra Moon in your 7th House of Relationships tempts you to deny your own desires in favor of taking care of someone else. Unfortunately, codependency won’t help you or your partner reach satisfaction. Avoid the trappings of frustration by expressing what you want as honestly as possible. Friendship and intimacy grow from a foundation of integrity and trust.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You want to be of service to others now that the Moon is in your 6th House of Work, but making money isn’t necessarily your primary concern. You might be drawn to helping those who are less fortunate than you, or, maybe, you wish to pay back a debt to society to balance old karma. In any case, it’s healthy to know your limits by considering what you’re willing to give up to achieve your altruistic goals. Making commitments is serious business, so think twice before overextending yourself.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You’re determined to find ways to alter the daily routine of your life, but you’re not interested in upsetting the status quo. You just want to provide room for making improvements. Perhaps you have grown tired of having so many good ideas, only to discover that the big things in your life remain unchanged. Unfold your new goals slowly; the tiniest modifications can have the longest lasting impact.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Family dynamics are highlighted when the Moon returns to your 4th House of Security today. But if parenting is your primary responsibility, then you might just have less free time available for other activities now. But having a good time isn’t your primary motivation; it’s more about being available to those you love, even if it prevents you from doing something you enjoy. Fortunately, the quiet satisfaction derived from nurturing a loved one may be the greatest gift you can receive.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You may require some downtime today so you can think about the recent twists and turns in your life. Unfortunately, the road ahead is not very easy to navigate, so it’s a sensible idea to visualize a more direct route to success. Don’t be concerned if there aren’t immediate changes in your circumstances, for it may take some time for the current resistance to fade away.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You could run into a speed bump on the road of life today and though it requires you to slow down, there’s no need for a detour. Just take unexpected events in stride and do the best you can. Don’t allow yourself to succumb to discouragement, even if you face a major setback. Consider obstacles as perfect opportunities to keep improving your plan. Strengthening your body and mind now will increase your chances to succeed.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

It’s harder these days to take your responsibilities lightly because the Moon and somber Saturn are both in your sign, setting the tone for the day. Don’t waste precious energy trying to put on a cheerful face for others, just because that’s what they expect from you. It isn’t your job to make everyone feel okay about the issues you face. Nevertheless, it’s up to you to look inward and ask yourself tough questions so you can gain clarity about the next phase of your life.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You may not want to talk about your emotions with the Moon and Saturn hiding out in your 12th House of Secrecy. But your need to be alone doesn’t include your very best friends or lover, since you long for the deep emotional connections that can break through your current isolation. Remember that interpersonal walls are created by mutual consent, so open your heart to invite in those with whom you want to share your life.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You only have so much free time available today, but you still want to escape for a bit, anyhow. Meanwhile, your workmates and friends keep reminding you of how many tasks you still have to complete. There are only so many hours in the day, so you may not be able to take time off to play now. Nevertheless, remaining focused on what’s most crucial will be rewarded later on. There’s no need to explain your choices; just follow your instincts and take care of the business at hand.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may feel a lot of stress now, but this is your perfect chance to prove your competence to your boss. The reflective Moon and karmic Saturn in your 10th House of Career marks the culmination of your recent efforts or the beginning of an exciting new project. In either case, this is no time to relax. Don’t worry if no one seems to be acknowledging your contribution. Recognition is likely to happen soon enough.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Even well thought-out plans could meet up with opposition, but your ideas can still reach fruition if you’re open to making smart changes. Don’t be stubborn; acting as if you’re on top won’t help you reach your goals any faster. Something must change; fortunately, others are willing to meet you halfway if you demonstrate some flexibility. There’s no need to give up if you’re wise enough to modify your strategy.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You could face a difficult situation today if you must deal with someone who holds authority over you while remaining unsupportive of your efforts. It may be a difficult climb and although it requires extra determination to reach your destination, the process also makes you stronger. Don’t complain about your obligations; just roll up your sleeves and get busy. If you put forth your best effort the rewards will eventually follow.

Cosmic Calendar for October 24th

Here’s another start to a workweek that feels somewhat edgy and worrisome – even though there are bright spots that will be manifesting. During the void Moon in Virgo as the day begins, Mercury trines Ceres in water signs (5:10AM PDT) while the Sun trines Chiron in water signs (6:38AM PDT). These two favorable alignments should equate with a rise in overall productivity and a feeling that healing forces are back on the march. However, a void lunar uncertainty zone can sometimes weaken sky patterns that happen within its time-cycle. Once the clock strikes 8:50AM PDT, the Moon pulls out of the void vortex by entering airy Libra for the next two days. The goal now is to revisit the Solar Libra 30-day cycle that recently ended by continuing to improve your primary partnerships and striving to increase your arsenal of artistic skills. Mercury making an inspirational, 72-degree link to Pallas (5:11PM PDT) is a major help in your becoming more adept at problem-solving and strategizing with trusted experts. Juno finally takes the plunge – leaving Libra for Scorpio (6:59PM PDT). This definitely adds weight to the passionate, mysterious and secretive undertones and overtones present within the Scorpio zodiacal frame of reference. [Juno remains in intensive Scorpio until January 29, 2012.] Creating one more shocking disturbance in the giant scheme of things is tonight’s Sun-Uranus 150-degree connection – bridging Scorpio and Aries at 11:00PM PDT. Here’s your choice – breakdown or breakthrough. Which way do you want to travel as Monday morphs into Tuesday?

Daily Horoscopes for Saturday, October 22nd

The lovely Leo Moon opposes nebulous Neptune this morning, extending the spacey theme of yesterday’s Sun-Neptune trine. However, we are brought back down to earth when the Moon slips into practical Virgo at 10:40 am EDT. Although the discriminating Virgo Moon normally gives us the ability to filter out unrealistic goals, beautiful Venus aligns with unruly Uranus to suddenly activate unconventional desires that are more thrilling than useful.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

It doesn’t matter that you want to do something crazy today that goes against everyone’s expectations; you have obligations that take precedence over your urge to escape. Instead of kicking back now, you would be better off putting your shoulder to the wheel and focusing on work. Whether you have job-related projects or domestic chores, don’t postpone them any longer. Your unwavering sense of purpose will reward you with the privilege of being able to take time off once you are finished.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You can turn challenging work into fun today, because you have enough sense to make the best of any situation. You may be so clever and cunning in your approach that your coworkers actually believe that you’re enjoying yourself and offer to pitch in and help. But you’re no Tom Sawyer because you’ll paint the fence or do nearly any other job now even if no one else shows up. A job well done brings you real satisfaction all by itself.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You might stuff more into your day than you can manage, but that won’t keep you from trying to do everything. Ironically, you would accomplish more if you just stopped long enough to make a sensible plan. Although you often like to figure out what you’re doing on the fly, it’s a frivolity you can’t afford now. Be realistic and cut back on your activities until you establish a more sustainable pace.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You may have a brilliant idea that enables you to perform up to someone else’s expectations while actually earning more independence in the process. You would like to escape from an overly rigid routine and, thankfully, your good-natured approach to work today could be the catalyst you need. But wishing for things to change isn’t enough; you need to have a concrete plan and be willing to work hard in order to have a shot at breaking free.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You may feel safe while you’re on familiar ground at work or at home today, but alluring Venus is tempting you to try something new. Unfortunately, it’s not a wise idea to drop everything in search of joyful indulgences until you take care of your basic financial chores, such as paying your bills and balancing your accounts. The order of things is important now, so set intelligent priorities and then stick with them.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You could be very self-critical as you do your own performance review today. Nothing that anyone else says will be enough to let you off the hook. There’s no escape; you need to process your disappointment and deal with the discouragement that recently surfaced. Although self-doubt isn’t useful, constructive self-analysis leads you to new insights about yourself.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

The Moon’s entry into your 12th House of Secrets today suggests that hidden obstacles are more problematic than obvious ones. You might have a hunch that you are missing an important piece of information, but you can’t figure out where to uncover it or even what it is. Thankfully, you can prevent frustration by simply accepting your current limitations. Your positive thinking can be your greatest strength now.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You’re feeling more social today as the Moon enters your 11th House of Community. Although you still want to accomplish a lot at work, you don’t have the same drive that you might have had yesterday and prefer to spend time with your friends, instead. It’s likely that they will rise to the occasion and support your plans, even if they don’t agree with what you want to do.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Instead of accepting anyone else’s authority now, you are ready to take charge of the situation yourself. Although others may be fully capable of handling whatever’s happening today, you believe that your combination of organizational skills and applicable knowledge gives you an important edge. Don’t be afraid to let everyone know what your plan is prior to your implementation. Including others makes it easier for them to jump in and help you reach your goals.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

It might be wise to hold back your feelings today as the Moon shifts into analytical Virgo. But you could feel incapable of seeing the big picture now and are even tempted to cancel a trip to someplace special because you don’t have enough time. Don’t get too discouraged; there may be a very good reason to stay close to home, even if it takes a few days to see the logic of your thinking.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You’re itching to break out of an old relationship pattern, but you have enough common sense now to bide your time and see what happens, instead of doing something you might later regret. Unfortunately, you don’t want to negotiate away your independence, making you a tough partner these days. Nevertheless, you won’t be happy unless you can find a way to express your personal freedom. Even while asserting your self-reliance, showing up with warmth and honesty will help your cause.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You might believe that you can float along in a current relationship, yet your friend or lover might want more of a commitment than you’re willing to make. Discussing specific issues could scare the heck out of you now, even if your partner seems to enjoy the conversation. Don’t just give in; you have a lot to learn now by exploring your resistance. If you acquiesce without expressing your needs, you could set a bad precedence for the days ahead.

Your Horoscopes for Friday, October 21st

The Moon in expressive Leo reflects our need to let others know how we feel. Unfortunately, we could come on stronger than we realize because the Moon’s midday hook-up with pushy Mars prompts us to fire up our creative process with a high level of urgency. We want immediate results, yet the Sun’s smooth trine with dreamy Neptune can blur the boundaries between fact and fiction, challenging us to be imaginative without losing touch with reality.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

The Moon-Mars conjunction heats up your 5th House of Fun and Games and encourages you to express your inner child. You’re eager to participate in enjoyable activities today, especially ones that allow you to display your emotional warmth to someone you love. Nevertheless, you may think that everything is perfect if you continue to avoid the truth. Your current state of grace won’t last forever, so face the facts while your creative powers are still strong.

 

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Your idealistic attitude at work today can gain you extra points from your boss. Although others might hold you in high regard now, they may not be able to see the real you. Don’t add to the confusion by diffusing your message with too many words because the more you talk, the greater your chances of contradicting yourself. Instead, let your actions speak for you to make the best impression.

 

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Although everything is busier today with the Moon and Mars joining in your 3rd House of Immediate Environment, you still may be able to float through the day without feeling much stress. Your daydreams are so real now that, like Cinderella, you can turn a pumpkin into a beautiful carriage in your mind. Very little can get in your way, but your sense of perspective may be a bit warped. Don’t be afraid of your fantasies; just remember that they can influence your objectivity.

 

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You may actually believe that you have established equilibrium in your family life, but the hidden complexity can catch you off guard today. Your immediate reaction to an unexpected turn of events could be so intense that it’s more surprising than what actually happened. Think twice before allowing a rush of adrenaline to determine your future. Sit with any decisions you make now before acting on them in an impulsive burst of energy.

 

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You might feel as if your life is taking off now that the Moon conjuncts impetuous Mars in your 1st House of Self. Thankfully, your physical energy level is high, enabling you to pick up the pace of your walk, put an extra bounce into your words and appear happier than before. Just be careful not to lose perspective because ignoring the facts can stir up resistance from others. You can maintain a positive attitude without going overboard.

 

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You often like to work behind the scenes, and today’s Moon-Mars conjunction in your 12th House of Secrets can push you even deeper into your inner world. Your reaction to someone’s evasive behavior can be so strong that you don’t even know how to put it into words. But bottled up feelings can have negative consequences, so fight against your current tendency to withdraw emotionally and let others know what you’re experiencing as gently as possible.

 

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your fantasy life is more active than usual as the Sun in your artistic sign harmonizes with ethereal Neptune in your 5th House of Creativity. Although you can be productive if you put your mind to it, you’re more likely to pursue social activities today. Thankfully, relaxing with your friends can be very beneficial now, setting the stage for an efficient workday tomorrow when you can make up for lost time.

 

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

This can be a powerfully productive day as the Moon joins superhero Mars in your 10th House of Career. You are at the top of your professional game and have abundant energy to apply yourself toward your job. Nevertheless, you still need to convince yourself that it’s okay to work for your own success, rather than only doing as you’re told. Make your dreams come true instead of just giving in to other people’s expectations.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Getting together with a group of coworkers or kicking back with a few friends might be the best thing you can do for yourself today. You may have big career plans but pushing toward your goals is frustrating if you don’t make as much progress as you want. However, it’s not wise to let go of your dreams, even if they take additional time to manifest. Ironically, easing off on the gas pedal now could be the catalyst that refuels your forward movement.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may be very unrealistic about your potential at work because today’s Sun-Neptune trine emboldens you to believe nearly anything now. Although you’re able to see far beyond the present moment, it’s challenging to separate your fantasies from what’s real. If you have specific goals, make certain that you’re giving yourself enough time to deliver on your current promises. You won’t be happy if you just daydream about your future without taking concrete action.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may be involved with others in ways that pull you into new territory as the Moon joins forceful Mars in your 7th House of Companions. Unfortunately, it’s difficult to know how assertive you need to be in order to get the ball rolling. On the other hand, you might choose to withdraw if someone else acts too aggressively. Ultimately, following your intuition is the best strategy. Pay attention to your dreams; they won’t steer you wrong now.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may try to keep your feelings to yourself today, but it’s so easy to get caught up in office politics or sucked into someone else’s melodrama. Your sensitivity is high, so you are more sympathetic to others than you realize. Nevertheless, it’s still possible to be compassionate without losing your perspective. One way to maintain balance is to concentrate on your work now so there’s not much energy left over for wandering into uncertain emotional territory.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Thursday, October 20th

We’re encouraged to express ourselves with flair as the Moon dances into dramatic Leo at 6:05 am EDT. Her trine to rebellious Uranus makes us less concerned with what others think about our wild behavior. The Moon’s square to overblown Jupiter pumps us up with self-confidence even further. However, an otherworldly Venus-Pluto septile can throw us an emotional curve ball, while an unsettling Sun-Uranus septile adds even more surprises to the mix.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may have an excess of physical energy today, but you could squander your reserves if you aren’t careful. Wasting your time on something unimportant can be draining, but fortunately it won’t likely have a lasting negative impact. Nevertheless, you would be wise to work smarter rather than harder in order to maximize the opportunities that come your way.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You may not fully understand all the dynamics that are impacting your family relationships today as the Moon enters your 4th House of Domestic Conditions. However, you can feel the tension increasing so you know something is brewing. Don’t get discouraged by your lack of direction. Maintaining your established course could be difficult now, yet being patient is still your best strategy until clarity returns.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You might be so distracted by the array of tasks you need to complete today that you can’t figure out where to begin. It seems that as soon as you make a specific plan, something happens that requires you to reconsider your previous choice. Frustration can set in when certainty is replaced by self-doubt again and again. You could believe that an absolute answer will solve everything now, but if possible, it’s smarter to hold off making a final decision until next week.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

The Moon enters your 2nd House of Personal Resources today, encouraging you to pay attention to managing what you currently have, rather than trying to accumulate more. Although it’s time to build on what you have already started, muddled motives could detract from your efficiency now. Don’t bother attempting to justify your actions because your explanations will just grow increasingly convoluted. Keep things as simple as you can and try to finish whatever you begin.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Everyone seems to believe that your feelings are transparent today as the Moon returns to your sign. However, chances are that no one truly knows what you need, even if others try to convince you that they do. Unfortunately, your emotions can get in the way of your words, so you might not be very effective when you try to explain what you want. Tone down your expectations and practice flexibility; asking for less could actually bring you more than you think.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

The Moon squares extroverted Jupiter today from your 12th House of Secrets, creating a stress between your desire to connect with others and your need to be alone. It’s challenging to share exactly what you want now because even the act of communicating conflicts with your reclusive yearnings. Instead of trying to change the current situation, just observe your emotional reactions to what’s happening. Living with the paradox for a few days builds character and won’t be as difficult as it sounds.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You have wonderful friends who are eager to play with you today. However, you may grow annoyed with others if they are too distracting because you have responsibilities to fulfill. Don’t take yourself so seriously now; no one will fault you for taking some time to enjoy yourself as long as you return to your obligations later in the day.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your planet Pluto falls under the beautiful spell of alluring Venus today, attracting you to the idea of experiencing sensual pleasure. Nevertheless, your thoughts — however exquisite they may be — are not grounded in experience now, so it’s not wise to act on these current desires. Don’t expect someone out of the blue to deliver your fantasies. Just enjoy your dreams for what they are, without needing to make them real.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You have been contemplating the big picture lately — something you do quite well — yet now it’s time to put your grand plan into motion. Fortunately, courageous Mars and the Moon are both visiting your adventurous 9th house today, motivating you to accomplish your goals. You are in a dynamic period of growth, so don’t wait for a better time to initiate action.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Powerful Pluto in your 1st House of Personality receives a nod of approval from valuable Venus today, encouraging you to pursue pleasure or material wealth. You may not understand the intensity of your current ambition, but this is not the time for analysis. Push steadily toward your goals because you have the necessary inner resolve to overcome most obstacles now. Set your mind on your destination and then don’t let anything or anyone distract you.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

A close friend or ally may appear to turn against you today as the fiery Leo Moon marches into your 7th House of Others. Even a casual conversation could become argumentative now because combative Mars is stirring up trouble in this relationship house. Fortunately, you should be able to avoid a conflict if you remember that diplomacy is smarter than outright conflict. Negotiating a peaceful solution is better than trying to sidestep the subject, even if it’s uncomfortable at first.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Although you could face a confrontation at work today, you might not be able to get to the source of the squabble. Your interactions with coworkers aren’t as simple as they seem on the surface, for unspoken feelings can make communication awkward. Thankfully, you can reduce the emotional charge on an unpleasant situation by taking the higher road and considering the larger picture, instead of only focusing on what’s in it for you.

Cosmic Calendar for Thursday, October 20th

This day starts under a void lunar cycle in emotion-laden Cancer. Before the Moon enters fiery Leo (3:07AM PDT), there will be a Moon-Mars parallel (2:45AM PDT). Any parallel by the Moon is short-lived because the Moon is the fastest moving body relative to the Earth. However, even though a Moon-Mars connection quickly dissipates, when it is happening there can be a lot of intensity – particularly if you happen to make a reckless move or act too egocentrically. Once the Moon is transiting in Leo, it is always helpful to come from the heart in all vital discussions. Being altruistic and generous is the key to being happy as the lunar orb moves through this fifth sign of the zodiac. Trying to manipulate others or lord it over them by claiming a divine right of kings and queens is a total no-no. Inspirations are flying fast as the Moon trines Uranus (6:05AM PDT). Hitting the high-tech, computer and electronics trail is once again back in style. This Moon-Uranus rapport is a key motivating aspect of the day and as long as you don’t overdo a good thing or become super-obstinate during the Moon’s square to Jupiter in plodding Taurus (2:38PM PDT), you should be in good shape for a fun-loving evening.

Daily Motivator for October 20th – Choose to do

Witchy Comments & Graphics

Choose to do

In this moment, choose to do. On this day, choose to make real and meaningful progress.

It will take some time, effort and persistence. And in return, you’ll earn yourself some lasting value.

It will challenge you, and frustrate you at times, and make you a little uncomfortable. Yet it will also bring you the satisfaction of a job well done.

You may not always get it perfect, but always you can give it your best. Choosing to work your way forward is not the easiest choice, yet it will ultimately prove to be the most valuable one.

If you’re tempted to let the excuses of the moment hold you back, project your thoughts into the future. Imagine how silly those excuses will seem five years from now, and how thankful you’ll be that you ignored them.

The opportunity of today is worthless unless you act on it. Act on it, choose to do, and you’ll soon be enjoying the many rewards of your efforts.

Cosmic Calendar for October 18th

The good news right now is that there is less intensity happening in the psychic atmosphere today than yesterday. However, some of the havoc created on Monday – via the Mars-Uranus and Mercury-Jupiter clashes – still remains in effect. Meanwhile, the Moon in Cancer is your celestial reminder to deal with residential chores like making the kitchen and bath areas shine again, sprucing up the living room or conducting major clean-up campaigns. Cooking and baking are highlighted. Experimenting with soups, chowders and seafood dishes hits the spot. After the Moon creates some consternation by opposing Pluto (4:35AM PDT), the lunar orb is a favorable influence by forming a supportive, 60-degree alliance with giant Jupiter (7:33AM PDT), and making flowing trines to Mercury (10:31AM PDT) and Venus (6:01PM PDT). The major challenging planetary conflict comes from Mars forming an off-kilter, 150-degree link to Ceres (12:11PM PDT). Be extra sensitive and kind to maternal figures, children and pets. Becoming angry over a trifle is taboo. A wave of nostalgia can easily rise to the surface tonight under the Cancer Moon vibrations which often summon the past and historical events with ease. A Mercury-Venus parallel (9:57PM PDT) can also be a signal that all is well on the friendship and romantic fronts since both of these celestial bodies are in passion-centered Scorpio.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, October 18th

Although we are often emotionally reserved when the Moon visits reflective Cancer, today her volatile square to unruly Uranus and impassioned opposition to intense Pluto push our tempers to the edge. Thankfully, easygoing trines to communicator Mercury and friendly Venus later in the day enable us to talk more calmly about our feelings. We may share more than we intend, yet expressing ourselves can ultimately lead to a more relaxed atmosphere.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You might think that remaining quiet is a sensible strategy today, but you won’t likely avoid conflict by relying on defensive maneuvers. It’s tempting to believe that you’ll keep your feelings to yourself, but unexpressed emotions have a way of hijacking your day. It’s no fun to lose your temper, so get your concerns out into the open instead of naively assuming that things will improve on their own.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Communicating with others seems so easy today that you may think that you’re missing something. Unfortunately, you are probably glossing over a critical fact or conveniently forgetting what you were told. Thankfully, you can choose to focus extra attention on the details of your interactions. The simple act of concentrating on the present moment, instead of letting your mind wander, can help prevent an unnecessary misunderstanding.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your ruling planet Mercury is wired by electric Uranus today, exciting your nervous system and lifting your spirits. Unconventional ideas can be distracting because they aren’t necessarily practical, and you may not be interested in applying your creativity now because you don’t want to slow down your unrestrained thinking process. Although facing the limitations of your current circumstances might not sound great at first, putting your feet back on the ground will make you feel better in the long run.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You would like to talk about your feelings now that the Moon is back in your sign, even if you’re also feeling a bit shy. Nevertheless, you won’t likely go out of your way to bring up an issue that could provoke someone to withdraw from you. However, once you understand that your fear of abandonment can precipitate exactly what you’re trying to avoid, it will be easier to acknowledge the intense emotions that are being revealed at this time.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Don’t trust others who promise you the world because they may not be telling you the whole story now that the Moon is in your secretive 12th house. It might be wiser for you to take care of business as if you were on your own today, even if someone offers to help you. Nevertheless, it’s safe to listen to those who are supportive of your cause, even if they don’t have easy answers. Ultimately, having faith in yourself is your best strategy.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your key planet Mercury connects with brilliant Uranus today, sparking your imagination with unconventional thoughts and intense desires. However, you might play your hand tentatively because you don’t want to upset your friends or destabilize an existing relationship. Still, it may be impossible to avoid a confrontation if someone oversteps your boundaries. Do whatever you must do in order to protect your territory as long as you don’t intentionally hurt anyone else in the process.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your need to nurture others at work can make you feel indispensable today with the Moon’s presence in your 10th House of Public Responsibility. However, meddling in other people’s affairs can also create a real mess if you go too far. Don’t fall into the trap of believing that no one can get along without your assistance now. It’s healthier to wait until someone asks you for help before jumping in and taking over.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You are tenaciously holding on to a fascinating idea today, even if it isn’t very practical. You may not have time now to seriously develop your plan, yet you still can derive pleasure from just thinking about the possibilities. Keep in mind that you could turn a rather simple desire into such a big deal that the original thought is lost. Give yourself permission to dream, but don’t lose perspective on what’s real and what’s not.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Mischievous Mercury can trick you into thinking that your new idea is a brilliant one, but you should probably keep your thoughts to yourself today until you decide how much to share with others. You could spoil your chances for success by telling someone about your plan before the details are actually in place. Although you often can get away with developing your strategy on the fly, being more cautious now works in your favor.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You are usually more self-restrained than others in your group, but today all bets are off. It’s not that your energy is out of control now; it’s just that you are aligned with a higher purpose, adding intensity to your words and actions. Thankfully, your friends and co-workers are eager to listen to you unfold your strategy, so tell them exactly what you’re thinking, even if you aren’t sure how all the pieces will ultimately fit together.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You aren’t very comfortable when so many images and ideas are swirling around in your brain that you don’t know what to do next. Mercury’s alignment with your key planet Uranus can amuse you with all the possibilities, but you still grow dizzy watching the mental fireworks. Instead of passively dreaming about your future, concentrate your attention on a single goal and maintain your focus until it is within reach.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Although you may appear quietly confident today, you might not have that much to say yet. You’re riding a wave of creativity with the Moon visiting your 5th House of Self-Expression, but the real action is taking place within your mind and out of sight from everyone’s watchful gaze. Don’t feel obliged to prove your brilliance to anyone now; just gently express what’s most important to you once you’re comfortable with the results of your inner process.
