Cosmic Calendar for Monday, October 17th

For the first day of a workweek in October, this is not an ideal situation. There is an illusion that all is well, and this is coming from a superlative, flowing trine in air signs from the Moon in Gemini to the Sun in Libra (6:38AM PDT). Any lunar-solar combination like this is favorable in a general sort of way, but it is what precedes it and follows it which is alarming. At 4:09AM PDT, the red planet Mars makes a caustic, 135-degree link to revolutionary Uranus. The most explosive planetary pair in astrology is Mars-Uranus. Whenever they enter into a challenging geometrical configuration, sparks can definitely fly. Strive to create serenity throughout your aura for several hours before and after this sky pattern is exact. Meanwhile, Mercury makes its annual opposition to Jupiter (11:56AM PDT) – linking Scorpio to Taurus. In traditional astrology, Mercury and Jupiter rule the four mutable signs of Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces. As such, these two planets have a lot to do with the realms of communication and transportation. When Mercury opposes Jupiter, there can be breakdowns, snafus, and upheavals in these areas of activity within humanity. Of course, any opposition can still rise to the occasion as a source of mental expansion and enlightenment, but in the modern world and in terms of millions of people going to jobs and traveling on busy highways, any Mercury-Jupiter polarity needs to be monitored with care. A void lunar cycle develops at 3:19PM PDT and continues until 6:39PM PDT when the Moon enters Cancer – the sign of its natural abode. After 6:39PM PDT, home and family matters tend to trump everything else.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Saturday, October 15th

We are still riding high on feelings of abundance and hopefulness from yesterday’s sweet Venus-Jupiter opposition. Nevertheless, we may be ready to risk our current situation, even if it’s very pleasant, in order to experience something out of the ordinary as attractive Venus aligns in a magical biquintile to unorthodox Uranus. Additionally, the Moon jumps into restless Gemini at 10:14 am EDT, dangling intriguing alternatives in front of us.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Although your day starts off quietly enough, the pace picks up unexpectedly and you can’t help but enjoy the buzz. You might have lacked motivation before, but now ideas race through your mind, making it difficult to decide which ones are actually worth pursuing. It’s great when you feel this enthusiastic, but it may be smarter to slow down and finish one project before you rush off to the next one.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You can be so stubborn sometimes that you drive your friends and associates crazy. However, today you may be sharing good ideas faster than others can assimilate them. The Moon’s shift into clever Gemini isn’t the whole story because your key planet Venus is being zapped by brilliant Uranus. Freely express whatever comes into your mind, but also do your best to follow through with your commitments.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

The Moon’s return to your lighthearted sign can lift your spirits today, but she also can bring a feeling of restlessness. Your moods change rapidly now, soaring and sinking, and soaring again. Others may not be able to get a clear read on you, for each time they think they know what you’re thinking, your attitude shifts. Don’t worry about anyone else’s expectations; just observe your emotions and let them continue to run their natural course.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

It’s difficult for you to keep secrets today, even if you’re usually good at maintaining boundaries. It isn’t that you’re eager to stir up uncomfortable feelings in others or betray anyone’s trust; it’s just that you find it hard to hold back now if you feel close to someone. However, an improper disclosure won’t improve a relationship and could, in the long run, jeopardize what you already established with a trusted friend. Stay conscious of every word you say so that you don’t accidentally break your promise of silence.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You may be feeling emotionally open today, but you still might think you need to be careful and protect yourself if your defenses begin to fall. Others will likely see the shift in your behavior if you are genuine and they, in turn, will be more attentive to you. Don’t retreat; give yourself permission to bask in the admiration, even if it makes you feel vulnerable. It’s healing for you to let your love light shine.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You may be the one that others come to in order to get results because you are normally very focused. However, today you could be more scattered, making it harder to live up to everyone’s demands. Don’t worry if you can’t do everything. Just concentrate on attacking the most important chores, leaving the other tasks to complete when you have the time.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Although you want everything to be in perfect balance, you may need to assert yourself more aggressively than you prefer today. Your discomfort increases when you think about what you must do, but fortunately you should be able to rise to the task. The clever Gemini Moon in your 9th House of Future Vision enables you to talk your way through your own resistance. You might even surprise yourself with how easily you handle a difficult situation.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You feel as if things are going well today as long as you stay in motion. Maintaining a high level of activity is a key to your current success; however, conflicting thoughts distract you from being in the moment as soon as you start to slow down. Unfortunately, your busyness actually prevents you from hearing your own thoughts. Although it might hinder your productivity for a while, stopping long enough to reconnect with your subconscious will be healthier in the long run.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You might believe that your friends are moving much faster than you are today, yet you’re not interested in trying to catch up with them now. Unfortunately, you can’t just take yourself out of the game and let everyone play without you. The best solution to your current dilemma stems from just sharing your truth. Tell everyone why you want to go a little slower today and then listen to what they say. An honest give-and-take dialogue should carry you to common ground where you all can get along with respect.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Your workmates seem to be missing the point today and you see no easy way to make them understand the truth. Unfortunately, you cannot go out of your way to set others straight because they’ll just think that you’re being pushy. But if you don’t say anything at all, they might not even realize that there’s more to your story. Instead of attempting to change anyone’s mind, just gently share your perspective and then let everyone else form his or her own opinion.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may feel more playful now, yet your commitments won’t allow you to drop everything to follow your whimsical desires. But don’t complain about your current obligations, for that’s just a waste of your time and energy. Instead, resign yourself to meeting your current responsibilities as best you can. You will still have the chance to do something that makes you smile later on.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

A family dilemma may require your immediate attention now that the Moon is visiting your 4th House of Domestic Matters. You can see both sides of a complex issue, bringing uncertainty about which solution is the best one. Your smartest strategy would be to hold off making significant decisions until your clarity begins to return later in the day. Don’t let anyone coerce you into choosing a course of action until you know that you’re ready.

Cosmic Calendar for Saturday, October 15th

After two days of unusual challenges, you will now be dealing primarily with Gemini Moon for most of this weekend. Following a skirmish of 135-degrees between Mercury and Ceres (12:25AM PDT) – an alignment that tends to decrease productivity for several hours – the Moon in Taurus starts a short, void uncertainty cycle at 3:52AM PDT that lasts until 7:16AM PDT. Finish old business on a high note during the void-of-course Moon cycle. Once the Moon shifts into airy Gemini (7:16AM PDT), you can soar like an eagle in arts, crafts, literary pursuits and beloved hobbies. Try your hand at limericks, rhyming poetry or haiku. Play a few tunes on a favorite musical instrument. Fly a kite or toss the Frisbee around. Light-hearted games and good fun are always a welcome accompaniment for the lunar orb in the third sign of the zodiac. On the shadow side, watch out for a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde approach to life where having a split-personality seems par for the course. If you want to dive into computer work or technological research, the Moon joins forces with Uranus via a supportive, 60-degree connection (10:54AM PDT). Take advantage of the fact that the cosmos is going cold turkey on the hard stuff for 24 hours, and keeping major aspects waiting in the wings until tomorrow and Monday.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Friday, October 14th

The simplistic Taurus Moon lures us into believing that everything important can be perceived with our five main senses. But an irritating quincunx from cerebral Mercury to erratic Uranus interferes with this bucolic ideal as it zaps us with radical ideas we don’t fully understand. Although we are distracted by inexplicable thoughts, a tense opposition from sensual Venus to indulgent Jupiter pulls us back into the physical world of pleasure.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You aren’t quite ready to party because of too many lingering responsibilities, but you cannot help fantasizing about all the pleasures you would rather be experiencing today. Unfortunately, your daydreams could get in the way of what you need to accomplish. Keep in mind that you won’t really be able to enjoy yourself if your mind is on work, so you might as well stay focused and have fun later.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You may be driven by your desires today or, on the other extreme, you could just feel plain lazy. Either way, with luxurious Venus opposing indulgent Jupiter, you might grow stubborn if you believe you know an easier way to get a job done. Even if you see the benefits of someone else’s plan, you prefer to do things your way now. However, you would be wise to acquiesce on trivial matters and save your resistance for something that’s more important.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You could make a big show of supporting a co-worker’s plan while hiding your real concerns from everyone else because you don’t want to be perceived as being the negative one. The truth is that you keep changing your mind now, making you unsure of what you really think. Be careful, for others will see through your performance if you’re overly dramatic. Ultimately, your best strategy is to stay under the radar today, without bringing unnecessary attention to your position.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You might be overly effusive today when expressing your feelings to someone you really like. Naturally, you’ll need to feel safe enough to go out on a limb, but optimistic Jupiter in your social 11th house will give you the necessary boost of confidence. Unfortunately, your words could betray your message if they are misinterpreted. Being direct and to the point should minimize the possibility of any misunderstanding.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You may receive professional recognition today or, at least, acknowledgment for a job well done. Ironically, rather than feeling good about your accomplishment, you could waste energy worrying about whether or not you really deserve the positive feedback. Self-doubt will only sap your productivity; graciously accept the support you receive from others now and save your questioning for another day.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You are willing to turn on the charm and play the game today if you think that it will get you what you want. But your self-confidence can lead to trouble, prompting you to say more than is necessary as loquacious Mercury aspects irrepressible Uranus. Unfortunately, your message can become muddled and your desires left unsatisfied unless you maintain a clear and logical approach in your interactions with others.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Keep your money in your pocket today because your extravagant taste can land you in financial trouble if you see something that you think you must have. With opulent Jupiter opposing stylish Venus in your 2nd House of Possessions, your eye for beauty is keen now. Unfortunately, you may not take the time to consider the true value of what you’re buying. Think about what you really need rather than what you want in the spur of the moment.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

It’s tempting to look at the sunny side of a partnership today, even if long shadows are cast by emotional baggage. Joyful Jupiter in your 7th House of Relationships encourages you to shine your light so brightly that the shadows disappear along with your negativity. However, the underlying issues — even if they aren’t visible — can continue to feed the tension. Find the courage to face the dark; it’s not as scary as you think.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You might feel like partying today and believe that you’re willing to pay the price for skipping out on your responsibilities. After all, you might reason that you can always finish up your work later. Unfortunately, you’ve probably left too much until the last minute already, making it tough to justify an early exit from work. The potential for fun won’t disappear as fast as you think; slow down and do the right thing because you’ll be able to enjoy yourself even more later on without any guilt.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Sweet Venus’ presence in your social 11th house indicates that your friends can bring you great pleasure now if you’re willing to let go of your own agenda. You may secretly imagine that you are running the show, but these unexpressed wishes shouldn’t impede your fun today. Letting your peers take the lead will work in your favor as long as you don’t give all of your power away. Take full responsibility for knowing when to say no.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Receiving praise on the job or from someone in your community can instill you with confidence, but positive feedback won’t be enough unless you also are fulfilled by what you do. Take time to think about your long-term goals and set yourself back on track if you have lost your way. Rewards that aren’t meaningful to you won’t necessarily add to the quality of your life or make you any happier. Following your bliss is your best route to success.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Nagging responsibilities are enough to put you in a bad mood; however, adding a fun activity to your calendar should make you feel better for a while. You are coming to the end of a very busy week and it only seems right that you should take time to relax and enjoy the pleasures of life. Just don’t go overboard; a bit of moderation will enable you to sustain the good times throughout the weekend.

New Moon Update for October 11th – Full Moon in Aries

Full Moon in Aries
Tuesday, October 11, 7:06 pm PDT, 10:06 pm EDT

The independent and spontaneous Aries Full Moon faces off against the Sun and Saturn in partnering and patient Libra. We’re faced with the choice of following our own instincts and acting alone or making compromises to get along with others. Nevertheless, it’s wise to negotiate in good faith instead of operating unilaterally. When each individual’s needs are taken into account, in spite of differences between them, stronger relationships can be built. The presence of serious Saturn suggests that alliances that include personal freedom in a framework of cooperation can produce innovation that lasts.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Monday, October 10th

Although we may be dreaming of the future or reminiscing about the past, the Moon’s blast into fiery Aries at 8:57 am EDT resets our emotional cycles and brings our feelings back to the present moment. The power of now is intensified by the Moon’s conjunction with instantaneous Uranus and her square with unrelenting Pluto. Meanwhile, we’re challenged to stabilize our desires today as attractive Venus forms an uncomfortable quincunx with Uranus.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You’re riding on an adrenaline surge today and although you like it, you’d be happier if you thought you were in charge of your own life. As it is, you might have authority over some things, but the larger waves are completely out of your control. Don’t bother wasting your time attempting to change circumstances that are beyond your reach; instead, focus on responding to the shifting currents as best as you can.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You might not feel very relaxed today, yet you can be very productive if you forget about trying to take the day off. Ironically, you may enjoy doing mundane chores around the home or office once you get into gear. But don’t seek approval from anyone else; unfortunately, others probably won’t tell you what you want to hear now. Work for the satisfaction of a job well done.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

This can be an exciting day if you aren’t afraid of trying something completely new and different. Push beyond your old limits, but don’t take yourself too seriously in the process. Although you’re often more lighthearted, you could be overly concerned now about getting everything just right. Relax your expectations so you can have fun, no matter what happens.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You are tempted to take on too much today and might feel discouraged later on, once you realize that you can’t complete everything you started. Thankfully, the solution is rather simple: be more cautious prior to making a commitment. It’s a good idea to begin a project slowly and pick up speed as you go along. It’s always better to promise less and deliver more.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You are ready to cook up a grandiose scheme with today’s enterprising Aries Moon visiting your 9th House of Big Ideas. Luckily, courageous Mars in your fixed sign now gives you the unflappable determination to turn the craziest of your ideas into reality. If you recently scaled back a project, consider pushing it forward again until you can see progress.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You try to think of everything in advance, but no amount of detailed research can prepare you for the surprising twists and turns that your life is currently taking. However, don’t get so caught up in the present moment or you’ll forget about your original intention. Nevertheless, setting your old plans aside enables you to be even more effective in executing your new ones.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Someone might catch you off guard by overreacting to what you say or do in a way that’s hard to understand. But don’t be negative today just because you are uncomfortable with anyone who takes an approach that is different from yours. Even if others seem brash, remember that you can be big enough to allow for the wide variety of people you encounter. Taking the high road now may be more beneficial than you expect.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You might not have much patience today, yet your spontaneity is countered by your unrelenting drive to finish anything you start. It would be a mistake for anyone to think that you are all talk now, even if you have a lot to say. Back up your promises with decisive action that is focused on getting your work completed as quickly as possible.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You are in a high-frequency state of excitement, but some of your intensity is less than apparent. With Venus now in your 12th House of Secrets, there may be more going on than is stated in today’s subject line. But your self-expression is irrepressible, spurring you to find ways to work off some of your excess energy. Hitting the gym or taking a long walk may be an ideal way to get your mojo flowing and things moving in the right direction.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You could be a bit frustrated today because you don’t feel like fighting to stay on top; however, you don’t want to convince yourself to relax now, only to discover that you missed an important opportunity. The biggest challenge is in believing that things really could get easier from this point on. But whether or not the hardest part is over, you can set your life in a better direction by affirming your positive future in the present moment.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may have an idea about how you want to spend your day until someone crosses your path with an entirely different agenda. Your immediate reaction is to explain why your plan is the best course of action. However, you’ll only create bigger problems if you set up a competitive situation where there will be only one winner. Establishing common ground enables everyone to work successfully together as a team.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You don’t like it if anyone tells you what to do today, especially since your mind is already made up. Nevertheless, it’s much better to avoid open conflict now and visualize what could be possible if everyone was more cooperative. However, you don’t have to let others push you too far, especially if they’re messing with your core values. Give them a fair warning and then take whatever action is required to maintain your integrity.

New Moon Report for October 8th – Venus in Scorpio

Venus in Scorpio
Saturday, October 8, 10:50 pm PDT, Sunday, October 9, 1:50 am EDT

The love planet is not comfortable in steamy Scorpio according to astrological tradition. This provocative sign is less interested in the sweet and pretty side of relationships and more intrigued with their emotional complexity. Venus is not here to please, but to plunge to the depths of desire and explore the unseen plumbing that shapes our partnerships. Jealousy and mistrust are downsides of this transit, yet a more honest examination of what we need and what we’re willing to give in exchange adds maturity to personal interactions. Reviving failing personal and professional unions or recognizing when it’s time to end them reflects the range of this powerful process.

Your Weekend Lunar Love Horoscopes for Oct. 7th – 9th

Weekend Love: Lunar Love

by Jeff Jawer

Making Magic

October 7 – 9

The Moon sloshes into watery Pisces on Friday to encourage us to escape from reality. This sensitive and imaginative sign is tender, creative and more about making magic that lifts the heart than sticking with ordinary logic. Pisces is the dreamer, inviting us to forgive and forget so that we can enter a divine world where the boundaries between us are dissolved.

This weekend has an extra dose of romantic potential as loving Venus forms a harmonious angle with Pisces’ ruling planet Neptune on Friday, initiating a period when we can raise ourselves above the daily noise to tap into higher aspects of feeling and intuition. Music can be especially appealing as it takes us to places our bodies don’t ordinarily go. Art is also inspirational and can connect us with the divine. This is what we’re searching for now: a way to merge the physical with the spiritual. Breaking free of the usual habits and simply letting ourselves float freely can create a sublime sense of joy. Pisces isn’t about being possessive or making big plans for the future. It’s about enjoying the delight of releasing stress and falling into comfortable places where criticism is replaced by compassion and ambition by acceptance.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday, October 5th

We are motivated to hold on to everything that’s safe and secure in our personal worlds as the conservative Capricorn Moon reminds us of the benefits of stability. However, the Moon’s shift into intellectual Aquarius at 11:17 am EDT encourages us to set aside our fears of the unknown and to embrace the future. Additionally, the Moon’s supportive sextile to progressive Uranus helps us feel more comfortable with the ever-increasing speed of change.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

It’s difficult for you to focus on your day-to-day affairs now when your life contains so much uncertainty. You’re typically confident about what you are doing, but questions arise today that increase your doubt over the general direction of your life. However, focusing on your long-term goals may be a clever way to escape from your more immediate obligations. Do what you Aries are known for best and concentrate on being in the present moment.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You may be involved in a continuing conflict between your job and more personal activities that truly express what’s in your heart. But it’s challenging to put your efforts on a path that’s closer to your passion when you are being rewarded monetarily for the professional work you do. Instead of choosing one over the other, find ways to bring new life into your creative endeavors through self-discipline. Practicing time management should enable you to juggle your calendar and do everything you want.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Although the Moon in your 9th House of Higher Education may have you thinking about going back to school or beginning a new course of study, you could have to delay your decision for a little while. More pressing obligations can’t be ignored and must be handled before returning to your long-term plans. Instead of worrying about what you can’t do now, take life a few days at a time until you’re free enough to imagine what’s ahead.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

If somebody presents you with a sensible plan today, remain open to it instead of just assuming that your idea is better. It’s presumptuous to think that you can make a real assessment unless you actually take time to consider what you are shown. Don’t let your fear of being wrong get in the way of your best course of action. It’s more important to reach your goals than to be right.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Your job can help to take your mind off a recent conflict in your personal life. However, it’s crucial to concentrate all of your attention on your career objectives today in order to shift your thinking. Backing away from an intense argument won’t solve the underlying issues, but it will give the energy a chance to settle back down so you can approach the unresolved predicament anew later on.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You tend to overcompensate for your uncertainty today by acting as if you know exactly what’s going on and what should be done next. You really want to be perceived as someone who is competent, but your overly authoritative manner may not help your cause. Don’t dwell on previous failures now, for your memories can stand between you and success. Remember, the past is over and may not be as relevant in the present moment as you believe.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You are tired of having to act in such a responsible manner now, and are willing to take a risk and do something just for the fun of it. Unfortunately, declaring yourself free from prior obligations isn’t as satisfying as actually living up to your promises. Take the time early in the day to work hard and make progress on your chores so you can cut loose for a while later on.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Something that you recently decided to keep to yourself may become an issue now in a relationship. You might realize that you would have been wise to just be fully honest and to share whatever uncertainties you were hiding. Unfortunately, you cannot turn back the hands of time and redo what’s been done. Your best bet is to start fresh in the present moment by clearing the air before moving on.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You don’t like it when your peers put pressure on you to do something you’re not willing to do. In fact, you like it even less when workmates attempt to take advantage of you, asking you to help them with chores they should have already completed. Remember, in both cases, the decision is entirely yours. Either jump in fully without complaining, or say exactly what you’re thinking and prepare to deal with the consequences.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You can easily underestimate the amount of time and energy it will take to finish a project today. Unfortunately, this can have a profoundly negative impact on your schedule. Simply working harder might be the best strategy to avoid looking like a fool on the job, but putting in additional hours won’t necessarily solve the problem. Don’t exhaust yourself in a hopeless attempt to impress others. Instead, rethink your tactics and adopt a smarter approach.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You are driven to understand what’s happening today, but the Moon’s return to your sign can make you so emotional that your rational approach doesn’t work. It’s tricky because your answers might appear so straightforward and rational. However, your thinking is all over the map now, making it nearly impossible to follow through on any one idea. Instead of trying to work it out on your own, ask for help to minimize any subsequent problems.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may be tired of isolating yourself from others and are finally ready to do something about it. However, you might not be clear about how best to heal a rift between you and a friend. Rather than opening the discussion with a know-it-all attitude, admit that you don’t have all the answers. Revealing your vulnerability may be the most sensible way to bridge the gap.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, October 4th

The recent intensity continues to ease, giving us time to integrate the unexpected experiences, along with the extreme emotions. We are still seeking balance with several planets in harmonizing Libra. Today’s ambitious Capricorn Moon squares rational Mercury and stable Saturn, aiding us in our process of regrouping and making plans for the future. Thankfully, the Moon’s creative quintile to brilliant Uranus offers a radical solution to a problem.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

It’s difficult to balance your aspirations with those of a close friend or partner. Thankfully, your companions may be flexible enough to accommodate your needs now, yet they might grow annoyed if you don’t respond in kind. Rather than expecting everyone else to make adjustments for you, meet others halfway. You may be happily surprised at how easy it is once you give it a try.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You have had plenty of stress recently and are feeling relieved now because everything is settling down. But you might not be totally convinced that the old dramas are really over. Nevertheless, consider taking a mini-vacation today, even if it’s only for a few quick hours, as the Moon visits your 9th House of Getaways. Anything you can do to relax helps regenerate your energy for the new cycle that will begin next week.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You may be challenged to find time to relax today because the dutiful Capricorn Moon keeps reminding you of what you promised to do. Instead of procrastinating, settle in for a bit of hard work. You could find the extra effort more energizing than trying to avoid the inevitable. Getting a few chores out of the way should make room for a little escape later on.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You tend to pull in your energy when the cautious Capricorn Moon enters your 7th House of Partners. Ironically, you may feel as relaxed as ever, yet others seem to be overly nervous now — and their anxiety can rub off on you. Remember, you don’t have to adjust your emotions to match someone else’s just because you care. Establishing firm boundaries will ultimately make everyone involved more comfortable.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

It might not be all that easy to motivate yourself because you’re lacking your regular zip today. However, you may get swept up by circumstances and you have the excellent fortune of being able to ride on top of a productive wave of energy, leaving a pile of finished work in your wake. However, don’t try to do too much all at once. It’s better to start slowly and build momentum throughout the day.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your friends might seem a bit warmer toward you today, but it could be your attitude, rather than theirs, that has changed. A weight is temporarily lifted from your shoulders as the steady Capricorn Moon visits your 5th House of Love and Play. Ironically, you might not feel any differently than usual; however, going the extra mile to have fun will convey an irresistible message to others.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You want everyone to be comfortable, but others don’t seem to be as receptive as usual to your gracious gestures today. You may grow frustrated as you try all your tricks, but you still don’t seem to make any progress. Fortunately, you might just succeed if you stop trying so hard. Instead of attempting to appease others now, do what makes you happy. Leading by positive example works better than unrealistically believing that you can fix everything for everyone else.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your friends could be fussier than usual and their picky behavior might start you questioning how far you’re willing to go. You appreciate others being honest and telling you what they want; unfortunately, they just don’t know when to quit. Remember, you are not a bad friend just because you’re unwilling to meet someone’s unreasonable demands. Luckily, a confrontation can be easily avoided today if you remember to consider the other person’s position while remaining clear about your own boundaries.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Sometimes being practical is a drag, and demands on your time today can keep you from your dreams. You might overreact by rambling on about your vision for the future, but you really don’t want to get bogged down in all the details. Hopefully, paying attention to the real world creates exactly the balance that you now need.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You wish that your emotions would make sense now, but they don’t. Fortunately, the Moon’s visit to your sign helps you reconnect with your feelings. Although you’re tempted to fly by the seat of your pants, this is as bad a strategy as getting lost in analysis. Stay away from either extreme today; the best solution will be found closer to the middle of the road.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may try hiding your serious demeanor today because you believe that you can throw others off guard if you appear very casual. Unfortunately, your strategy might not work because the hard-nosed Capricorn Moon reveals the fallacy of your assumptions. You need to be showing others how committed you are now. Don’t give up; nearly any relationship can grow deeper once you’re willing to be your authentic self.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may be overly cautious today as you think about your future because the pragmatic Capricorn Moon in your 11th House of Aspirations doesn’t want you to waste a lot of time and money chasing impractical dreams. Normally, realizing a few fantasies would be enough to keep you motivated, but now you have to get extra creative. Remember, it will take time to reach even your most sensible goals.

Daily Horoscopes for Saturday, October 1st

The Moon’s shift into optimistic Sagittarius at 12:41 am EDT sets an upbeat tone for the entire day. The fiery Sagittarius Moon forms an exciting Grand Trine with disruptive Uranus and impulsive Mars, re-energizing last week’s expressive Uranus-Mars trine. Although additional harmonious lunar aspects later in the day indicate that we can initiate successful action, a late-night Sun-Jupiter quincunx tempts us to take our innovative ideas too far.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You are wise to exercise caution today because your overconfidence makes you susceptible to acting before you have all the facts. Your contagious exuberance will likely attract others who encourage your reckless behavior. Unfortunately, they won’t be so happy if they discover that you’ve led them down a dead-end street. Rather than taking charge, share the responsibility of leadership. You will flourish now if you champion a team approach.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Bountiful Jupiter in your sign may lead you down a garden path today because things look better than they are in reality. You can’t help but marvel at the impossible dreams that seem real enough to touch. It can actually be useful to explore the roads not taken within the safety of your mind. However, you might run into trouble if you attempt to make them come true. Your imagination can be your ally now if you remember to take care of your mundane responsibilities first.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You may feel like a kite that is bouncing around in the breeze after being stuck on the ground for too long. But you might be a bit ungrounded today if you’re at the mercy of the changing winds. Fortunately, you can count on some steady currents to empower you to gain altitude. However, you must be careful since there are also strange weather patterns now that make it difficult to know what’s coming next. Ultimately, your smartest strategy is to stay flexible until smoother times return.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

It’s nearly impossible for you to relax today because you are being pushed outside of your comfort zone. Even if you feign enthusiasm, you really want to know more details before you start something new. Unfortunately, you may not have time to do the research now, so you might as well bite the bullet and simply do the best you can. At worst, you’ll have an interesting experience while you push up against some of your own natural resistance.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Too much reliance on your social charms can put you in an awkward situation today where you end up losing control over what is said. Instead of trying to remain on center stage, it’s wiser to do whatever you can to get out of the spotlight. Having some anonymity now gives you more freedom to express yourself later. But if you push your own agenda too soon, your words could backfire on you and delay your progress.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your life grows more complicated as intellectual Mercury creates an irrational aspect with pompous Jupiter, cajoling you to exaggerate your point of view. Your current tendency to overextend your reach or say more than you intend can set you on a tricky path. Nevertheless, keep the faith; maintaining your vision of the big picture could be enough to keep you on track as you methodically move toward your goals.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You are truly inspired today and believe that you can create something extraordinary. However, unexpected opportunities might lure you away from your own project so you can pursue alternative possibilities. Thankfully, your passion also attracts others to your new ideas. Just don’t push anyone too hard or you’ll quickly feel the resistance kick back at you.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Although you are inclined to start a project today, it may be smarter to wait a bit before initiating action. It’s not that you are heading off in a wrong direction; it’s just that your current optimism may encourage you to bite off more than you can chew. Instead of going on a spontaneous spending spree, get some rest. It’s smarter to build your reserves now so you’re ready for what’s to come.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Although you might be thinking about striking out on your own, this may not be the best course of action now. Today’s exuberant Sagittarius Moon blesses you with extra self-confidence and can send your enthusiasm over the top. However, your best ideas could lose their momentum if your execution is too hasty. Demonstrate your maturity by being patient; if you can wait a little longer, everything might fall into place according to your vision.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Although you could be very excited about what’s happening professionally, listen to your intuition now if it’s telling you that it’s not quite time yet to make your move. It will be much wiser for you to swing into action on Monday, once the Moon returns to your ambitious sign. Get busy taking care of loose ends and be certain that your strategy is realistic enough to execute.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Your mind may not be focused on what’s going on at home today. Instead, you’re time traveling into the future and thinking about all the possible adventures in front of you. Unfortunately, it can get confusing as you weave your hopes and dreams into the current circumstances, making it difficult to tell them apart. Nevertheless, it’s healthy to take cues from your fantasies, for they empower you to turn your dreams into reality.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may be confident that you can change a long-standing habit or make a necessary adjustment to your diet. However, you could be fooling yourself today by oversimplifying what it takes to improve your daily regimen. Don’t get discouraged by trying to accomplish too much all at once. Instead of running ahead without a plan, take one determined baby step at a time. Small incremental modifications have a much better chance of lasting into the future.

Weekend Lunar Love Horoscope for Sept. 30 – Oct. 2

Weekend Love: Lunar Love

by Jeff Jawer

No Holding Back

September 30 – 2

Friday starts out with the Moon in steamy Scorpio, which is great for subtle seduction — indirectness and hints of interest can be especially enticing now. The evening ends with a lunar transit into high-spirited Sagittarius where there’s little room for secrets or subtlety. There’s no holding back in this enthusiastic sign, which is wonderful for being open and honest, but a tad insensitive in its delivery. Exuberant Sagittarius is restless and seeks new experiences, so exploring unfamiliar places, engaging in outdoor activities or examining intellectual pursuits is especially exciting. There’s little interest in sentiment as ruminating over the past can seem outdated and irrelevant.

Pushing the envelope by taking physical, mental and emotional risks is where the fun is this weekend. There’s a playful kind of competitiveness that’s not so much about beating the other person, but more about pushing both of you as far as you can go. Be careful with humor, though, because in the midst of hilarity it’s possible to say something that you might regret. The easygoing attitude of Sagittarius can give rise to careless remarks and reckless behavior. And the unbridled optimism of this sign may tempt you to make promises you won’t keep or raise your expectations too high. Joyfully enjoying the present moment without looking longingly backward or thinking too far ahead sounds just about right.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, Sept. 27th

The Moon’s shift into socially astute Libra at 12:50 am EDT places relationships under the spotlight. The New Moon at 7:08 am marks a turning point as we consider what’s negotiable and how to get along better with others. However, the pile-up of five planets in easygoing Libra now might take us by surprise as harsh lunar aspects reinforce mental Mercury’s tense opposition to rebellious Uranus and Mars’ uneasy quincunx to ominous Pluto.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Today’s New Moon emphasizes your 7th House of Partnerships, shifting your attention from your personal needs toward those of your friends. You instinctively know what others need and make them feel at ease now before they are even aware of your swift intervention. Don’t be overly intrusive by assuming everyone wants your help. There may not be a valid reason to get involved unless you are asked. Sometimes good intentions aren’t enough.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

The diplomatic Libra New Moon lands in your 6th House of Employment, making it easier for you to prioritize your tasks and negotiate which jobs can be delayed and which must be done right away. You can turn on the charm, enabling you to work well with with others. Fortunately, you’re able to keep up with everything that happens today, even if your efforts aren’t appreciated until later.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

The next few weeks may bring you a new love or revitalize a current relationship. The lovely Libra New Moon reignites your 5th House of Romance and Creativity, which is a propitious sign for you to accomplish as much as you can today. Don’t hesitate; getting started quickly will free up more time later on for pleasurable pursuits.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Walking down Memory Lane isn’t a new experience, yet today it raises significant issues that you have already considered. Luckily, you can manage your emotions in order to avoid a difficult situation. Nevertheless, don’t get lost in your nostalgic meanderings. Instead, strive to concentrate on the present moment, rather than slipping off into dreamland.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Although you would like to believe that you know what’s best for you now, it’s still necessary to take enough time to consider the wishes of those around you. Even if you are trying to demonstrate your independence, it’s difficult to set your schedule today before you talk with others in your group. Once you know more about their needs, you’ll be able to better determine your agenda for the day.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You must make a decision about money today, but your options aren’t as definitive as you wish. Unfortunately, the indecisive Libra New Moon in your 2nd House of Finances makes it difficult to get the perspective you were seeking. You may go back and forth without being able to choose, but nothing positive will stem from being too hard on yourself. Wait a few days before completely committing one way or the other.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Today’s New Moon in your sign signals a sudden break from your past if you are ready to place your new intentions into action. But first you must express your desires clearly enough so they can have the impact you desire. Channeling your ideas into practical goals can get you going, but enthusiasm isn’t the only thing that counts. There’s no getting around that you must follow through with perseverance and good old-fashioned hard work.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Although you’re usually able to keep a secret at any cost, a particular issue could be the source of trouble today. You really want to tell someone everything you know because you believe it will increase your intimacy. Unfortunately, you could go against your promise and spill the beans. But your confidence might be low and you could feel as if whatever you do will turn out wrong. Postpone your conversation until later in the day, when you will have more objectivity at your disposal.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your social calendar is already jumping, but now you get to take the energy up a notch since the Libra New Moon emphasizes your 11th House of Friends. Give yourself plenty of time to bask in stimulating discussions with like-minded people. Don’t wait too long to gather a group together, for everyone benefits when you share your dreams and your optimistic visions about what ahead.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Today’s Libra New Moon falls in your 10th House of Public Responsibilities, stirring your ambitions and reminding you of all that you have accomplished. But there still may be more for you to do before starting a new project. Consider the pros and cons of taking on more work prior to saying yes on a job that could leave you exhausted. Creating a healthy balance between work and play is ultimately more fulfilling.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You have an opportunity to expand your horizons now by investigating an exciting and innovative idea. Gathering information about different courses of study should help you decide about school or additional on-the-job training as today’s New Moon activates your 9th House of Higher Education. Just don’t limit the possibilities to practical subjects; go ahead and break out of your self-imposed limitations by exploring a wildly different subject.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your compassionate approach to other people’s problems can open a door to the possibility of greater intimacy now that the gracious Libra New Moon falls in your 8th House of Deep Sharing. Don’t let your fear of the unknown stand between you and someone special. Instead, maintain a balanced approach to the mysteries of love. Exploring the uncharted shadows of a relationship isn’t as scary as it might seem at first.

Daily Horoscopes for Sunday, September 25th

The Sun’s opposition to wild Uranus highlights our need for independence, even while we seek the intimacy of a relationship. Rational Mercury shifts into fair-minded Libra on its way to join the New Moon on Tuesday. Meanwhile, we can get hooked on our own fantasies with a slippery Venus-Neptune alignment. Thankfully, the Moon enters analytical Virgo at 12:49 am EDT, enabling us to separate fact from fiction if we remember to pay attention.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You think you’re being clear about your needs today, but you still may be sending mixed messages unintentionally. On the other hand, a close friend or partner can run hot and cold, leaving you unsure about where you stand. Ultimately, the shifting energy is quite exciting if you’re able to let go of control. But trying to force your agenda on anyone else is a sure invitation to trouble. Your best strategy is to ride the shifting waves without being attached to any one outcome.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

The intensity of your emotions prompts you to retreat so you can be alone today. However, if social activities require you to be around others too much, you might lose your temper and say things you quickly regret. Don’t allow yourself to use harsh words that could undermine a stable relationship. Your key word for the day is cooperation; if anyone wins, then everyone loses.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You may be feeling the incongruity between your individual needs and your social responsibilities today. Unfortunately, you might believe that you have to sacrifice one for the other, but this isn’t necessarily true. Although you’re traversing some pretty tricky relationship territory now, the key to your success is in finding balance — even if you must settle for less than you want. As always, honesty works best if you can combine telling the truth with kindness.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You have a very specific idea of how you want to appear to others today, but it may be tough to carry out your plan if your true feelings get in the way. You might think that taking a stand to establish your boundaries is important, but direct confrontation won’t bring you the happiness you seek. Instead of working with a fixed agenda now, be as flexible as possible. Allowing for the element of surprise can turn a tense situation into a real thrill ride.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You thought you knew what you were doing, but your plans may come back up for reconsideration today. You realize that your old road has ended, but the new one isn’t as easy to find as you expected. The next phase of your life could take you in an entirely new direction, but it’s harder to make big decisions now because so much is up in the air. Don’t focus on the uncertainty; take definitive action, even if you think that you might change your mind again tomorrow.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You might try to keep your feelings to yourself as the Moon returns to cool Virgo today, but you won’t likely be able to prevent an emotional eruption. You have run out of patience and may think that you have to do something immediately or you’ll lose your chance. Just remember that initiating action is easy now, but you won’t be able to just hit the undo button tomorrow.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your diplomatic skills are being tested and you may not be as sweet and nice as others expect. The Sun is in your gracious sign, yet its opposition to shocking Uranus today and its square to dark Pluto midweek releases buried emotions as they erupt to the surface. You’re uncharacteristically willing to take a big risk now. Still, it’s a smart idea to avoid confrontation and see where the energy goes before making any drastic moves.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

The practical Virgo Moon is in your 11th House of Dreams and Wishes, yet you’re inadvertently flirting with emotional explosives as revolutionary Uranus urges you to throw caution to the wind. Areas of your life that once felt safe and secure are now feeling chaotic and vulnerable. Fortunately, you have an inspirational message that could have a positive effect on others. Choose your words carefully and stay strong in your convictions.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

The picky Virgo Moon’s presence in your 10th House of Career may require you to work extra hard today, but shifty Uranus suggests that your day won’t turn out as you expect. A surprising event can be a powerful catalyst that initiates a chain reaction, releasing suppressed emotions. But this isn’t necessarily your battle to fight. Setting clear boundaries helps you move through this complicated time with confidence and grace.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You’re tempted to rebel at home as unruly Uranus opposes the Sun from your 4th House of Domestic Conditions. Fortunately, the earthy Virgo Moon helps you to suppress some of the craziness and encourages you to maintain the status quo. However, a simple twist of fate can suddenly lead you in an entirely new direction and have you singing a whole new song.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

The willful Sun illuminates your key planet Uranus today, demonstrating how comfortable you are with radical change. Still, you don’t need to let every single person know how you feel. Nevertheless, don’t wait for external encouragement before sharing your ideas with someone you trust. Being extra perceptive enables you to manage this rather chaotic day with a healthy perspective and a good sense of humor.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Someone may push you too far today, but you could be the one who ends up in trouble if you respond with equal intensity. Although you might think that you can take on anyone now, especially if you’re feeling self-righteous, caution is advised. Unfortunately, you can have the best of intentions while still overstepping boundaries. Respect other people’s limits or you’ll just waste a lot of time and energy pleading your case in vain.

New Moon Report for September 25 – Mercury in Libra

Mercury in Libra

Sunday, September 25, 2:09 pm PDT, 5:09 pm EDT 12, 2:27 am PDT, 5:27 am EDT

Bright-eyed Mercury sees both sides of any question in this fair-minded sign. Thinking benefits from refined clarity and communication skills, inviting new connections. Discussions can diverge, darken or break down as the messenger planet follows the courses of Venus and the Sun. The trickster planet encounters lightning bolts of brilliance and impatience with Uranus on the 26th and descends to dark waters of insight and suspicion with Pluto on the 28th. New rules of engagement could be signed with Mercury’s conjunction to serious Saturn on October 6.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Friday, September 23rd

An equal amount of light and dark accompanies the Autumn Equinox today at 5:05 am EDT as the Sun shifts into Libra the Scales. But balance is elusive since the bold Leo Moon encourages us to express our feelings, especially when she conjuncts assertive Mars and trines reckless Uranus this morning. However, the superconductive trine from impulsive Mars to reactive Uranus can ignite the fuse on a tense situation, upsetting the status quo.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

It’s not always easy to acknowledge your need for independence in a relationship while also wanting to be fully present for your partner. Often, these two desires seem mutually exclusive, but now you believe that you can do both. Unfortunately, your partner might have a different set of expectations, so be specific and clarify exactly what you want. Reaching a solid understanding of each other’s perspective is the safest way to avoid heartbreak.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Although it’s in your best interest to please a good friend or a lover, you could go overboard today and do too much. It’s entirely possible to miss the point if you try to fix everything, just because you’re more comfortable when others are happy. However, it’s not your job to solve everyone else’s problems. Your best strategy is to offer your shoulder to lean on, be an attentive listener and then share your thoughts and feelings, only if asked. Maintaining your emotional balance is probably the best thing you can do now for someone you love.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You might see yourself as a superhero who rescues the day by helping your friends escape to have fun. Energetic Mars in playful Leo harmonizes with brilliant Uranus in your 11th House of Social Networking. Nevertheless, forget about showing off and impressing others with your clever repartee. Don’t try to run the show; just enjoy the fact that you are a valuable member of the pack.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You’re eager to have things go your way now, yet you may feel secure enough to run things from backstage. You don’t want anonymity; you want to be acknowledged for your contribution. However, you’re not interested in being the center of attention. Ultimately, you’ll be happier if you don’t worry about how others judge you. It’s healthier to concentrate on the present moment so you can react quickly and effectively, regardless of what anyone else thinks.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

The melodramatic Leo Moon joins feisty Mars in your 1st House of Personality, encouraging you to let others know exactly how you feel. But you could come on too strong if you forget to consider their opinions, too. Slow down and think about what you’re going to do instead of just doing it. Adding a short time delay to your responses will improve your chances of making the best decision the first time around.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your emotions may be out of control today, but ironically you’re still able to hide them. It’s challenging to find a mental resting place as your thoughts bounce around all over the map. Although your instincts will probably steer you right, it may be smarter to postpone any major decisions now until you’ve had time to let your best plan develop for a few more days.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

The tension between you and others grows now that the Sun has returned to your sign and moves toward an opposition with wild Uranus. You are feeling a primal contradiction between your needs and what others want today. Your desires are so strong that you won’t take no for an answer. Relaxing is probably out of the question, but you need to find a way to express your individuality without going to extremes.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You may feel so anxious today that you’re ready to jump right out of your skin. Unfortunately, calming your nerves is tricky business now, especially if you are motivated to accomplish a lot at work. You can be busy all day, but your restlessness may have you skipping around from job to job without finishing anything. Making many small adjustments throughout the day can ease your frustration, but won’t solve the deeper problem. Luckily, channeling your excess energy into a healthy physical outlet can take the edge off.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You may be so excited today that you forget to do what you previously promised. Instead, you’re tempted to run off and chase the possibility of a good time. Be careful or you might have to pay the price later if you choose to avoid your obligations. Fortunately, you can respond by saying “not yet” instead of “yes” when invited out to play. Finish your work before losing yourself in the potential pleasures of your day.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You are eager for some excitement in your life and you’re tempted to stir up a bit of mischief in a relationship or at work just for the fun of it. Unfortunately, you can become so serious about having a good time that you end up creating more trouble than you bargained for today. Thankfully, any instability that surfaces now should settle down pretty quickly over the days ahead.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Today’s spirited Moon-Mars conjunction in your 7th House of Relationships offers a lot of dynamic interactions all around you. Distractions can be interesting now, but they also might prevent you from getting much-needed rest and relaxation. Don’t work yourself up into a state of high anxiety if time starts to slip away before you begin to enjoy the day. Instead, be flexible with your schedule; it takes much more energy to fight the tide than simply going with it.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may have the need to express yourself at work today, yet you’re not likely to toe the party line. Your actions can be surprising to your co-workers, but somehow you seem to be able to get away with more than usual. Although you tend to do things your own way now, your approach can be novel enough that others are more intrigued than upset. Following your creative whims is a wonderful idea as long as you don’t take things too far.

Weekend Lunar Love Horoscope for Sept. 23 – 25

Weekend Love: Lunar Love

by Jeff Jawer

Explore Your Imagination

September 23 – 25

Bold behavior and big-hearted generosity can make Friday a fine time for lovers of all kinds, including those looking for a new companion. The mood-setting Moon is in audacious Leo, where the risks of romance are especially tempting. It’s a playful time with plenty of fun and affection available if we don’t take ourselves too seriously. The shadow side of the sign of the Lion includes excessive pride and an unwillingness to share the spotlight. But when we’re ready to give without worrying about the cost, we get even more back in return.

There’s a flair for the dramatic and a keen interest in experimenting with unusual kinds of activities on Friday when active Mars, also in courageous Leo, aligns in a high-energy trine with thrill-seeking Uranus. The Moon’s sweet connection with amorous Venus on Friday afternoon adds even more opportunities for memorable moments. Saturday night starts out with a high level of imagination thanks to a lunar opposition to mystical Neptune. This magical connection with the planet of dreams can stoke the fires of hope so high that we’re tempted to see others as we want them to be, not as they really are. Yet if we happen to lose the reigns of reality for a little while, the consequences of living in the material world will quickly beckon us to return.

The Moon’s entry into responsible Virgo late on Saturday evening brings us back from fantasyland in a hurry. Although we may attempt to vanquish our illusions with practical thinking and a long list of chores, a hopeful Moon-Jupiter trine on Sunday is a reminder that romance and reality can beautifully co-exist.

New Moon Report for Sept. 23rd – Sun in Libra

Sun in Libra

Friday, September 23, 2:05 am PDT, 5:05 am EDT

This is the Autumnal Equinox above the equator and Spring Equinox below. Libra the scales is the partnership sign, marking the balance of day and night. Awareness of where we stand in the borderlands of self and others is the key to relationships and Libra’s primary task. But like Venus in Libra, the Sun’s opposition to Uranus on the 25th, square to Pluto on the 28th and conjunction with Saturn on October 13 can brew up some mighty storms. Alliances may be shaken and stirred in unexpected ways, yet freedom and cooperation are potential rewards.

Daily Insight For September 21

Daily Insight

Wednesday, September 21, 2011
By The Astrologer, Kelli Fox

 
Feelings are on the surface, as the Moon continues through emotional Cancer. Business is likely to go smoothly, as long as you’re sensitive to others’ feelings. Cancer the Crab is highly resourceful, and it can be a good day to work on increasing your security and protecting your assets. The morning hours are especially favorable. The Moon forms a happy sextile with jovial Jupiter, bringing a mood of expansion and possibility. Dealing with real estate and financial matters is favorable. You’ll probably be in the mood to stay home this evening. Cook a nurturing meal, or reach out to your favorite family member. Later tonight the Moon makes a tense square to stern Saturn and some crankiness is possible. Better to pull back and find a way to give yourself the support you need. You may not be able to get what you want from others right now.
 

Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, September 20th

We can choose to engage or avoid nearly any issue today because the whimsical Gemini Moon allows us to tune a conversation in or out as if it is a radio station. However, the Moon’s shift into tenacious Cancer at 2:53 pm EDT makes it tougher to simply let go of our feelings as we attach our desires to a preferred outcome. Nevertheless, the Moon’s dynamic square to electric Uranus this evening can temporarily free us from emotional dependence.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may be fast-talking early in the day, but you could grow tired of listening to the sound of your own voice. Once the Moon slips into emotional Cancer, you might think that it’s wiser to say nothing at all. However, withholding your desires can be as problematic as sharing too much information. Fortunately, you don’t need to encourage a melodrama that evolves from an all-or-nothing strategy. Walk away from the internal tug-of-war and just appreciate every moment for what it is.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Financial pressures may turn a wonderful day into one filled with angst. It helps to remember that there are some things that are simply out of your control today, including how much money you have on hand. Still, you’re responsible for specific behaviors that can immediately impact the current situation. For example, spending less can truly work in your favor now. A conservative approach ensures that you’ll have what you need tomorrow.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You might not be very cooperative today, even if you care deeply for your friends and associates. You want others to be successful at whatever they choose to do, but you prefer to keep the energy low-key and not share your feelings. Although conserving your energy is a smart strategy now, it won’t hurt to just nod your head in approval so others, at least, know that you heard what was said. The best plan might be to take a bit of time to be alone so you can sort out your thoughts.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

The Moon’s return to your contemplative sign this afternoon may raise issues of doubt about your chosen path. You have a way with words now and might choose to hide your uncertainties behind a mask of humor. Unfortunately, your desire to acquire something beautiful could create its own complicated story. Postpone a non-essential purchase and focus on building trust, instead.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Attending to financial issues can take precedence today over encouraging the whimsical dreams of others. As much as you might want to help a friend turn a fantasy into reality, don’t let your concentration on the material world lapse. You may need to set aside some of your big-hearted generosity in order to get serious about money. Take care of business first so you can offer your support later.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You know what must be done today, but might be paralyzed with fear of doing something wrong. You probably have taken on a lot of responsibility at work, but when you return home later, you’ll still need to handle unfinished domestic chores. Don’t let all your running around during the day distract you from the important personal work that still needs to be addressed. Your desire for perfection doesn’t need to get in your way.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your romantic dreams motivate you to take action, so you don’t end up stuck in a world of illusions without achieving success. But accomplishing your goals may not bring you the recognition you want or the love you seek. Being caught up in an exciting flurry of emotions is invigorating, yet it’s still crucial to refocus on your core beliefs before taking care of business.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your issues about your family of origin are more pressing today, possibly bringing a tough situation to a head. Although you might prefer to sidestep a direct confrontation and move on, you can feel your emotions gaining in strength and you know something will have to give way. Naturally, it’s healthier to express your concerns before they become serious problems. Resolve your differences quickly and aim to handle potential conflict before it reaches a critical state.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You may have a variety of things to do today, yet it’s significant that you keep up the appearance of being a strong leader at work and at home. However, you might not know the exact recipe to make this happen. Forget about the how-to book filled with step-by-step instructions. Instead, reclaim your power by trusting your instincts.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Your current dilemma pits your need for independence against your desire for relationship security. Unfortunately, there aren’t any quick fixes to your deep cravings for a meaningful and spiritual connection. You may long to rediscover a missing sense of purpose that you set aside to climb a corporate or social ladder. Instead of expecting everything to make sense today, simply focus on the most immediate tasks and leave the bigger issues for another day.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You have been moving quickly to keep up with all the social activities in your life. Now, however, it’s time to slow down and reconnect with the more mundane aspects of your existence, such as work. But don’t bother making big plans or looking too far ahead, or you’ll just end up in a state of confusion. Save the dreaming for another day while you focus on the current daily grind.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Someone may not approve of what you are doing, but you aren’t sure why. The more you investigate, the more convoluted the whole situation becomes. You may be ready to give up and simply let the winds of change carry you wherever they will. Unfortunately, your current obligations prevent you from escaping today because other people are counting on you and you can’t just run out on them.
