Whenever possible, it is always advantageous — from the spiritual perspective — to know the exact time of the Full Moon. This month’s high-tide of the solar-lunar cycle occurs at 1:29AM — activating 26 degrees of Sagittarius and Gemini. At or close to the official time, send out your healing thoughts and prayers to humanity in need of enlightenment. Think more about fulfilling your higher destiny and what your main role may be in the giant scheme of things. Adding to the unusual quality of this day is that the Full Moon moment starts an 8+ hour void lunar uncertainty zone that lasts until 10:18AM when the lunar orb enters Cancer. It is during the unsettled conditions of the void Moon that Uranus at 9 degrees of Aries makes a station — shifting from retrograde to direct motion. [Uranus will keep moving ahead in the zodiac until July 21, 2014 when it will once again reverse itself at 17 degrees of Aries.] All Uranus themes — revolution and radical change, ingenuity and intuition, inventions, the multi-media, high-technology and computers, avant-garde and eccentric thinking, the unexpected, jokers and jesters, surprises, shock waves, rebellion, agitation and breakdowns (especially regarding the nervous system) — are emphasized throughout the day. Once the Moon enters its natural abode of Cancer (10:18AM), home and family interests wax in power. However, the obfuscating powers of another outer planet — this time Neptune — come into play as this ancient God of the Seas forms a caustic, 135-degree link with Jupiter (2:20PM). This dicey interaction between major celestial bodies only adds to the carnival-like quality of this Tuesday in December. [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Standard Time.

Your Love Horoscopes for the Week of December 16th
This may be a destabilizing week when it comes to love. A Full Moon in Gemini on December 17 will leave us grappling with whether we should feel our emotions or think them through first. On the same day, Uranus will hurtle direct in self-oriented Aries. This jolt to our system might throw the balance of partnership way off — and your lover might even fall off the seesaw! Then, on Saturday, love planet Venus enters her retrograde phase and will backpedal until Jan. 31, 2014. With Venus in Capricorn, we’ll struggle with redefining our responsibility in a love relationship and relearn how to love ourselves with greater commitment. Yes folks, love keeps us alive. This week however, it might also drive us a little batty.
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
Prepare to be electrified! Uranus will turn direct in your sign on Tuesday, and aside from the ability to express your innovative side like never before, you’ll demand the right to do so in the context of a relationship. Be careful, however, because all of this just might backfire in your face if you’re too reckless in your pursuit of independence. If there’s too much “I,” there’s no room for “we,” and it’s wise to remember that a partnership is a delicate balancing act. Are you up for it or would you rather go solo? Only time will tell.
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)
Everything you thought you knew about love is about to change. On Saturday, Venus will turn retrograde, and until Jan. 31, 2014, you might not feel as shiny as usual. This lackluster demeanor might be due to the fact that Venus is your ruling planet, and when retrograde her powers of attraction are not as dynamic. You’ll need to revise your self-worth concept during this time in all areas — but especially in matters of the heart. The rules of love may change during this time, and what you once believed was not aligned to your ideology might suddenly begin to make sense.
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)
Tuesday’s Full Moon in your sign will leave you wearing your heart on your sleeve — a not so comfortable place for a casual, airy sign such as yourself. You prefer to make light of things and to display affection in an almost childlike way. With the Full Moon highlighting your emotional side, however, you may appear more sensitive. Your partner might actually welcome the change of pace. Then, on Saturday, Venus will turn retrograde. Anticipate a shift in how you and your partner divvy up resources and approach bedroom activities. Don’t worry — revising this area of your life will ultimately strengthen it.
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)
Welcome to relationship rehab, Cancer! Oh wait, you didn’t reserve a room? No worries, the universe will gladly offer you a suite this time around. You can thank Venus turning retrograde in your partnership sector on Saturday for this VIP treatment. Until Jan. 31, 2014, you’ll be in the position of redefining your relationship and your place in it. What is it about your mate that leaves you feeling less than valued? What are you bringing to your relationship these days? More importantly, is the love still alive? All of these questions and more are about to be answered. Let the restoration begin!
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)
Have you been caught up in a cycle where you’re enjoying “friends with benefits?” If so, a Full Moon on Tuesday will bring the situation to light, and you might change your perspective about this relationship. Alternatively, if you’ve been entertaining the thought of an office romance, or if you’re currently wrapped up in one, Saturday’s retrograde of Venus in your work sector will prompt you to carefully consider the pros and cons behind such an affair. If it’s love you’ll be willing to take any potential fallout, but if it’s not you’ll soon realize it’s just not worth it
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
With Venus about to turn retrograde in your romance sector on Saturday, you may begin to feel less than satisfied when it comes to your love life. If single, this cycle will not be an ideal time to begin dating anyone new. In fact, until Jan. 31, 2014, you may feel more disappointed in matters of the heart as you struggle with loneliness, or feeling rejected by the object of your affection. If you’re in a relationship, you and your mate might feel as if you’ve lost that loving feeling. Ask yourselves what you can do to feel alive in love once more.
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
On Tuesday, you might feel that your lover or partner is acting in a rather abrupt fashion. Unexpected behavior may throw you off guard, and if so try not to take it personally. He or she may feel the need for extra breathing room. By Saturday, and until Jan. 31, 2014, you might experience trouble between your sweetheart and at least one close relative. This pair might not get along as easily as you’d hoped, setting up a disappointing reality for you to accept. You might be in love with your sweetie, but it doesn’t necessarily mean your family is.
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
Expect your most intimate needs to be revealed near Tuesday’s Full Moon. In fact, with this lunation it’s possible for you and your mate to reach a new level of closeness once you choose to face a demon you’ve had haunting you. Instead of automatically shutting your partner out of this deep part of you, allow him or her to help. You may be pleasantly surprised at the result. Communicating about your romantic feelings may become a challenge after Saturday. Re-read love letters or other correspondence between you and your mate from the past to help you move past any insecurity in this area
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
A Full Moon in your partnership sector on Tuesday might lead to a turning point in your relationship. Suddenly, you’ll be keenly aware of whether or not your union is flowing freely or blocked by a situation you need to confront. In all likelihood money is a factor and you may feel as if your resources need TLC. After Saturday, Venus will turn retrograde in your earned income sector, forcing you to pay extra attention to financial matters. Indeed, money problems are often the greatest source of strife in a relationship. Now is the time to handle yours.
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
Are you feeling unbeautiful? Are you feeling insecure about your love life? Are you feeling stuck in a relationship rut? If so, it’s no surprise. On Saturday, Venus will station retrograde and it will remain in this weakened position until Jan. 31, 2014. During this time you’re encouraged to refrain from beginning a new relationship and instead work on loving yourself first. If you’re in a partnership, expect a reevaluation to determine whether or not your relationship needs are being met. Yes, this will be a sober time, but in the end you’ll know what you’re truly worth and what you deserve in love.
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
With your ruler, Uranus, turning direct on Tuesday, it’s likely you’ll feel free to exert your individuality in a close relationship this week. You may appear more detached to a lover as you focus on activities that make the most of your original spirit. Try not to leave your partner behind in the dust! By Saturday, Venus will turn retrograde in the most hidden area of your chart. Keeping romantic matters secluded might prove to be more frustrating than you think. Ask yourself: Why do you need such privacy now?
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
Your social life might become more complicated this week. On Saturday, Venus will turn retrograde in your friendship sector and will remain retrograde until Jan. 31, 2014. During the next several weeks it’s possible you’ll struggle with romantic feelings for a pal. Does your friend feel the same way about you? If so, are you both willing to risk a fabulous friendship in favor of exploring a potential love connection? Take things slow and avoid making a decision until after Venus turns direct. This might be the love of your life, but it may also be a beautiful disaster in the making.
Daily Cosmic Calendar for December 16th
The anxiety factor in humanity’s sociological state is being raised to high levels during the 24-hour time-span before tomorrow’s Full Moon and Uranus shift from reverse to direct. Even though nerves may be frayed more than usual, keep preparing for the illuminating energy-field about to descend into the physical realm from divine sources. Helping your financial bottom line is an inspirational, 72-degree link from the Sun to Vesta (1:29AM). Learn more about better ways to invest your monetary resources. Travel plans and communication strategies could go awry while Mercury forms an off-kilter, 150-degree contact with Jupiter (11:03AM). Adjust your thought process with the goal of being more open-minded and flexible in your attitudes. Trying too hard to make things happen your way can backfire with nasty results. Tensions are also rising in the realm of emotional expression due to Juno forming a frictional, 45-degree aspect to Uranus (6:10PM). You may want to meditate or focus on spiritual studies as the Full Moon occurs early tomorrow morning at 1:29AM. [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Standard Time.

Deity of the Day – The Erinyes
Deity of the Day – The Erinyes
Children of the Night and Daughters of the Earth and Darkness
“Then fell Tisiphone with Rage was stung,
and from her mouth th’ untwisted serpents hung,
Girt in a bloody gown a torch she shakes,
And round her neck twines speckled wreathes of snakes.
Part of her tresses loudly hiss, and part
Spread poison as their forked tongues they dart…” (Metamorphoses, Book IV)
The Erinyes, the three Goddesses of revenge, are among the most ancient Goddesses and predated Zeus and all the other Olympians. In Greek mythology, They gare called the Erinyes – in Roman mythology They are called the Furies (“the furious”) or Dirae (“the terrible”). They are usually represented as three black sisters: Alecto (“the Unceasing”), Megaera (“the Grudging”) and Tisiphone (“the Avenging”).
The Erinyes are the children of Gaia and Uranus. They were created from drops of blood coming from the wounds of Uranus when He was castrated by His son Cronus and which fell upon the Earth (Gaia). The first drop of blood formed Aphrodite, which is why She is sometimes referred to as the oldest of The Erinyes.
Artists in ancient times depicted The Erinyes as women with fiery eyes and snake hair and with attributes such as torches and whips. Sometimes They were dressed as hunters.
The Erinyes were placed in Hades and are Goddesses of the dead. They also are called upon to revenge the crimes – especially those against women and mothers – of murder, perjury, ingratitude, disrespect, harshness, violation of filial piety and the laws of hospitality. They are impartial and impersonal, and pursue these wrongdoers until they are driven mad and die. But even in death, the criminal does not find rest until he shows remorse.
The Erinyes are associated with funeral trees: the alder, the black poplar, and the yew. The color associated with the three is black and the animal associated with Them is the snake.
Daily Cosmic Calendar for December 12th
Strange forces are on the prowl on a very significant day in the heavens. The strange factor is due to four parallel and contra-parallel formations as Mercury is contra-parallel to Jupiter (3:19AM), Mercury is also parallel to Venus (5:32AM), Venus is contra-parallel to Jupiter (8:26AM), and then Ceres is parallel to Uranus (12:47PM). Four of these types of alignments — in one 24-hour time-span — are very rare, and they combine to create a fair amount of uncertainty in the psychic atmosphere. Meanwhile, during a 5-hour void lunar cycle in Aries (from 7:38AM to 12:41PM), the Sun makes an inspirational, 72-degree rapport with far-out Neptune (8:34AM) — opening the gates of creative imagination and artistic improvisation. Once the Moon enters the sign of its exaltation — Taurus — at 12:41PM, focus your attention on business matters, physical fitness, and tuning into Mother Nature’s rhythms. The big event clocks in at 4:02PM when Jupiter in Cancer trines Saturn in Scorpio. They formed this same 120-degree contact on July 17 and will do so again on May 24, 2014. When the two largest planets in our solar system make this tie, you have a rare chance to take several giant leaps ahead on the professional horizon. Think outside the box and know that you can be a mover-and-shaker within your fields of expertise. [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Standard Time.

Your Love Horoscopes for the Week of December 9th
When it comes to love, we all want brilliant, enlightening communication and the ability to reach for your most enduring goals together. Ah, the stuff that every dream relationship is made of, right? Fortunately, this week it’s all within your grasp. Tuesday’s lively trine between Mercury and Uranus will promise support and interest as you and your mate share those bright ideas. Then, on Thursday, expansive Jupiter will connect with Saturn, helping you keep steady as you build up each other’s hopes.
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
Have you longed to take your relationship to new spiritual heights? This week you just might begin that incredible journey. Don’t be afraid to approach your sweetheart and open up about your spiritual or philosophical views. Even if they’re a little bit “out there,” your lover will find them endearing. In fact, the more unconventional you are in this department, the more attractive you’ll be. Looking to buy a house or condo with your partner? This week that dream might become a reality.
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)
Have you had that intimate conversation with your lover yet? You know, the one about your sex life? If not, this is the week to share the thoughts you have about how things have been going between the sheets. Don’t be afraid to tell your sweetheart that you’re up for a tad more experimentation in the bedroom. If you approach this topic near Tuesday, you might be surprised at the response — livening things up will be much easier than you think. So stop avoiding it and start talking about it!
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)
You might not feel this week is especially heart stopping when it comes to fairytale romantic prospects, but that’s just fine. Not every moment of our lives is meant to be filled with oozy enchantment. Instead, you’ll derive your greatest satisfaction with your partner when the two of you focus on your social life — especially around Tuesday. Do you share a similar curiosity and attend meetings or belong to an organization related to this interest? On Tuesday, you might feel exceptionally stimulated as you pursue learning more about it. Your partner will agree.
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)
This week, if anything sustains you, it’ll be love. Your ability to count on your sweetheart will remind you that even though life sometimes takes you on a bumpy ride, the one constant that remains is each other. If you’ve experienced a rough patch in your relationship lately, you’ll feel the stress begin to diminish by Thursday. If you’re married with children, it may be the kids that bind you together, reminding you that your bond is something special after all.
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)
Romantic and adventurous thoughts and ideas will take your breath away this week. Don’t put anything past your lover, because he or she is likely to feel as restless and itchy for a new experience as you’ll be. Consider a new hobby that you can enjoy together. It’ll need to offer both physical and intellectual stimulation in order to really feed the craving you each have now. The good news is that you’ll continue to communicate beautifully with your sweetheart this week. Love is grand!
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
It’s one thing to have love in your life, but it’s another thing entirely when that love makes you feel completely supported as you pursue your dreams. This week, you’ll have the best of both worlds. If you’re second-guessing yourself when it comes to one of your long held aspirations, it’ll be your partner who helps put things in perspective. He or she will remind you that instead of looking at how much further you need to go, you should give yourself a pat on the back and acknowledge how far you’ve already come.
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
Your relationship dynamic is anything but conventional these days, and at times this can drive you batty. This week, however, you might find that you not only tolerate your partner’s eccentric ways, but you also manage to achieve a great amount of satisfaction from them. You seem more open somehow, and more able to understand that unusual or different doesn’t mean negative. In fact, when it comes to your love life, weird is the new “hot.”
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
Optimism returns in your world this week, much to your delight. With Saturn touring your sign since October 2012, along with significant eclipses crossing your relationship axis, there’s a certain amount of sobriety attached to your responsibilities in a close partnership. Tests to your personal endeavors are par for the course, as Saturn wants to ensure that you’re spending time on projects — and people — who bring quality to your life. On Thursday, you might feel a positive breakthrough. Renewed faith will allow you to make strides with your mate.
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
An open mind is the key to an open heart, and this week you’ll know this is true. If single, a conversation with someone you find intriguing may quickly lead to a first date. Don’t think you need to go out of your way to find this person. He or she may appear on the train during your commute, or be casually shopping while you make a pit stop at the grocery store. Remain open to any dialogue with someone new you meet — especially around Tuesday. Anything can happen from there.
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
You and your partner might feel as if a mutual dream is finally coming true. While you’ll both have worked quite diligently to make this happen, it appears that by Thursday you’ll receive a clear indication that your hard work is about to pay off. New growth is possible in your individual lives, as well as in your relationship, and you’ll each feel as if you’re on the edge of something wonderful. It’s something that will certainly add to your joy.
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
Mercury, the ruler of your romance sector, is now touring your 11th house of friends and groups. On Tuesday, Mercury will connect beautifully to Uranus — your ruling planet. What does this all mean for your love life? Intellectual sparks, of course! A social event you attend early in the week for pleasure or humanitarian purposes might lead to a chance meeting with someone special. If you’re scheduled to give a speech, lecture or presentation, do pay attention to your audience. Someone may be vying for eye contact.
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
Matters of the heart will be decidedly spiritual this week, and that’s just how you like it! With Jupiter touring your romance sector, the opportunity to find the love of your life if single is truly spectacular. On Thursday, Jupiter will align with Saturn, the planet of stability and commitment. You could make a love connection during a spiritual retreat, while studying a topic important to you or through a connection with one of your mentors. Soul mate love is possible now, not just in your dreams, but also in your reality.
Thinking Differently
Thinking Differently
The New Moon and Uranus team up to get you out of the box…
Jeff Jawer on the topics of uranus, sagittarius, new moon, blogs, astrology
The fires of imagination are burning this week, kicked off by Monday’s incendiary New Moon in Sagittarius. This visionary sign is more interested in flying past the limits of ordinary life than hunkering down and struggling with its mundane details. Adventurous instincts stir escapist urges as we see ourselves flying away to beaches in Tahiti, ski slopes in Switzerland and ashrams in Tibet. Travel is a natural desire of the Sagittarian spirit, which can sometimes seem like a childish flight from reality. Yet the message of this week’s New Moon is especially apt at a time when most of the leaders and institutions we depend upon lack answers to our biggest questions
The current framework of ideas, our collective menu of intellectual choices, is severely limited by conventional thinking. Neither the capitalist’s eternally expanding economy or the socialist’s communal society are dreams that are likely to come true any time soon. Financial and environmental disasters come and go and could, sadly, occur more frequently in these changing times. The search for solutions runs into walls of philosophical differences where winning today’s political and profit games blinds us with short-sightedness. As personal and institutional pressures to survive increase the capacity to seek long-term solutions diminishes, especially when the strongest convictions are held by religions that promise a better life beyond planet Earth rather than a fulfilling one on it.
Back to solid ground
Unless you’re ready for the Rapture or interested in an extra-terrestrial intervention, we need to put our feet and our aspirations back on terra firma and look for ways to continue the human adventure on this beautiful blue planet. Fortunately, this Sagittarius New Moon is charged up with a creative trine from innovative Uranus that can break open our fields of inquiry and provide radically different perspectives on our current situation.
“You can’t solve a problem on the same level you created it” is a statement credited to Albert Einstein. The former patent examiner who revolutionized physics recognized the value of looking outside the box, which is exactly how Uranus works. This transpersonal planet’s trine with the Sagittarius Sun-Moon conjunction stretches minds and sparks intuitive insights that might seem impractical at first. Uranus breaks the walls of consciousness to present perspectives that shake our present view of reality. What we see often seems weird and worthless, yet could be exactly what we need.
In the end, it’s all about the journey
A good way to work with this Uranus influenced New Moon is to recognize when you’re imprisoned by your thoughts. The choices that we think we have are generally interpreted as the only ones possible, yet this Sagittarius lunation can burn off old beliefs and free us to look and live happily outside the box. Consider your usual assumptions as the starting points of a journey of discovery rather than the end of the road. Imagine that you have a mental laboratory where you get to experiment with “weird” ideas, the ones that don’t make sense right now but might prove meaningful later. Give yourself the freedom to speculate and make mistakes because Uranus’ gifts don’t come in neat packages. They arrive as messy, strange and sometimes uncomfortable notions that are habitually rejected out of hand. This holiday season give yourself the gift of weirdness, because it’s when you escape conventional thinking that you’re most likely to come up with the most brilliant and valuable answers.
Daily Cosmic Calendar for December 5th
If there is a choice between placing an emphasis on business or pleasure today, keep your main focus on the former. Capricorn Moon is a good time of the month to keep rising to the top of your professional hierarchy. Primary partnerships and emotionally-sensitive relationships are more dicey during this 24-hour time-span as Juno makes an off-kilter, 150-degree link with giant Jupiter (9:13AM), Venus forms an abrasive, 45-degree tie with Chiron (9:21AM) while Vesta eventually opposes Uranus (11:27PM). You can still be a creative whirlwind — especially in the fine and graphic arts — since the Moon makes its monthly rendezvous with Venus (1:47PM). Add entries to your social calendar, and know that you can command the respect of your colleagues and competitors. An evening challenge concerns the Moon forming a trine to Mars in earth signs (9:33PM) that somehow misses a beat in the sense that it starts a void lunar uncertainty zone that lasts until 10:54PM. It’s at this latter time that the Moon enters the universal air sign of Aquarius. Immerse yourself in a literary classic overnight or tune into the historical roots of esoteric philosophy, metaphysics, astrology and kindred subjects. [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Standard Time. Be sure to adjust all times according to your own local time so the alignments noted above will be exact for your location.]
Daily Cosmic Calendar for December 4th
As the day begins, anxiety and stress seem to have the upper hand due to an off-kilter, 150-degree alignment taking place between Pallas in Virgo and Uranus in Aries (12:49AM). Avoid mental fatigue and exhaustion around the time of this celestial contact. Better vibrations intrude into your life thereafter — thanks to the Moon in Capricorn forming a supportive, 60-degree liaison with Neptune in Pisces (3:09AM) while the Moon parallels Mercury (3:44AM) and the Sun makes a 60-degree constructive aspect with Ceres (4:16AM). The Moon-Neptune connection stimulates your psychic sensitivity and creative imagination while the other two aspects can give your correspondence a noticeable lift and enhance your productivity across the board. Think of bold ways to promote your worldly stature as the Moon makes it monthly conjunction with distant Pluto (3:20PM). Tuning into your spiritual willpower and mental concentration — with an absence of egocentric, know-it-all pride — is one good way of working positively with energy coming from the key planet that rules the unconscious realms of humanity’s intelligence. The enthusiastic vibes of Sagittarius gain a new cheerleader as Mercury enters this sign (6:43PM) until December 24. Maintain your thinking, attitudes and five senses operating on the highest levels of fortitude and ingenuity. [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Standard Time. Be sure to adjust all times according to your own local time so the alignments noted above will be exact for your location.]
Daily Cosmic Calendar for December 2nd
The dark-of-the-moon monthly phase always takes place as the lunar orb seeks to rejoin the Sun in their every 29.5-day cyclic dance through the heavens. Thus, we are currently in the extreme waning time-period of the solar-lunar cycle and then at 4:23PM the Sun and Moon will merge at 11 degrees of Sagittarius. In the hours before that official New Moon moment, your main goals should be to finish odds and ends from the past four weeks in order to wipe the slate clean for upcoming, exciting plans that can manifest during the month ahead. Creating some commotion — particularly on the social front and in the area of primary partnerships — are a Mars-Uranus parallel (6:28AM) and a Sun-Jupiter contra-parallel (3:26PM). As a reminder — for those of you who may be newcomers to this cosmic calendar — parallel and contra-parallel aspects are calculated using the Celestial Equator as a great circle surrounding the Earth, rather than the Ecliptic which contains or marks out the twelve signs of the zodiac and their total of 360-degrees of space. Nevertheless, the parallel and contra-parallel alignments carry equal billing as star attractions — just as though they might be conjunctions and/or oppositions in the zodiac. Mars combining vibrations with Uranus definitely has shocking and explosive potentials while the Sun linking up with Jupiter indicates that very large forces are on the march and capable of scuttling even the best-arranged plans for the day. Fortunately, these aspects both take place in the dark-of-the-moon phase and prior to the actual New Moon which still has the capacity to send you on great adventures of the mind, heart and spirit. [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Standard Time. Be sure to adjust all times according to your own local time so the alignments noted above will be exact for your location.]
Current Moon Phase for December 2nd – New Moon
New Moon
(waxing/0% of Full)
The New Moon is a time best suited for new beginnings! For the first 48 hours following the exact time of the New Moon each month, a window of opportunity opens for making wishes that, if noted, come true in the days and months ahead. There is a tremendous amount of enthusiasm in the atmosphere, making it a great time to go forward and begin projects that you feel instinctively attracted to initiating. Follow your impulses and let yourself make new starts in areas that are important to you.
Your Daily Horoscopes for Friday, November 29th
Sharing our feelings is easy today, yet they could become difficult to manage anyway. Concentrate on the highest potential in any interaction instead of imagining problems now. Thankfully, the peaceable Libra Moon helps us all get along. But taking things beyond the conversational stage grows tricky as the willful Sun forms a complex quintile with physical Mars. We may run out of words once the Moon slips into secretive Scorpio at 11:02 pm EST.
Aries Horoscope
(Mar 21 – Apr 19)
You may go out of your way to communicate your desires today, but you could take things to an extreme. People might even grow annoyed if you aren’t willing to meet them halfway. Fortunately, your good intentions should be enough to smooth over any ruffled feathers. But others won’t be able to hold a grudge if you simply tell the truth with kindness. You really don’t have to negotiate away your need for independence. Just remember you can still be considerate while honoring your integrity.
Taurus Horoscope
(Apr 20 – May 20)
Being able to trust your friends means the world to you. Even if you disagree about something important today, it’s better if everyone openly shares what’s on their minds. However, your tendency to gloss over difficult emotions now can create problems down the road. Take extra time to check in with your heart to make sure that you know what you want, even if it’s inconvenient. Being completely honest paves the way to true intimacy.
Gemini Horoscope
(May 21 – Jun 20)
Giving up on a good idea today sounds easier than it is, even if you know you cannot add one more item to your list of tasks. The lingering positive energy from yesterday’s easygoing Mercury-Jupiter trine continues to remove obstacles from your path and increases your optimism. However, your resources are limited and you could exhaust yourself trying to deliver on all your promises. Paring back your activities optimizes your efficiency and improves your chances for success.
Cancer Horoscope
(Jun 21 – Jul 22)
It’s easier to talk about what you’re capable of doing today than it is to actually follow through with decisive actions and get concrete results. Accordingly, it may be smarter to spend your day engaging in meetings, making phone calls and writing emails, rather than executing your plans. Networking with potential supporters now can help you develop an effective strategy. Figure out the best way to reach your goals and prepare to make your move.
Leo Horoscope
(Jul 23 – Aug 22)
You’re feeling on edge today because you know that something big is brewing but you can’t yet tell what’s around the next bend. Although your positive attitude works in your favor, you’re also worried that you aren’t in complete control of your destiny. Fortunately, you have more stability now than you realize, so just let the current events flow without trying to direct every single outcome. Trust the universe and let the Force be with you.
Virgo Horoscope
(Aug 23 – Sep 22)
You may believe that anything you can imagine is possible. Although clever Mercury is beginning to settle down today, your thoughts are still flying all over the place. Just remember that you’re not invincible, so don’t fill up your life with plans based on unrealistic dreams. Reach for the stars, but don’t lose sight of your valuable common sense. There’s nothing wrong with setting ambitious goals now as long as you also keep your feet firmly planted on the ground.
Libra Horoscope
(Sep 23 – Oct 22)
You would love to get by with less hard work now that the reflective Moon is back in your sign. However, you could end up wasting precious time and energy today if you believe that an ingenious shortcut will get you to where you’re going faster than taking the tried and true path. But these days your most reliable approach comes from setting a manageable pace early in the day and then sticking with it as best as you can. Slow and steady wins the race.
Scorpio Horoscope
(Oct 23 – Nov 21)
You’re feeling your oats today because mischievous Mercury in your sign harmonizes with joyful Jupiter in your 5th House of Fun and Games. You might not be able to forget about all the serious issues in your life, but at least you can put them into a healthy perspective that allows you to have a good time no matter what else is going on. Ultimately, the choice is yours; either focus on all the uncertainty or make a temporary escape and enjoy the power of now.
Sagittarius Horoscope
(Nov 22 – Dec 21)
You still have secrets to keep, yet it may be a struggle to remain quiet for much longer. Nevertheless, it’s more important to honor your commitments, even if you feel comfortable enough to spill the beans. You might be able to see the positive side of sharing everything you know, but it’s not your decision to make now. Take the high road and don’t stir up any unnecessary trouble yet; wait a few days until the Moon is back in your sign before reconsidering your options.
Capricorn Horoscope
(Dec 22 – Jan 19)
Engaging in small talk is just a waste of time today; you’re eager to dig into the core of the matter. You aren’t interested in acting diplomatically now, even if you realize that it can help you obtain what you want. Thankfully, your friends and associates appreciate your direct and honest approach, so follow your instincts and get down to business without beating around the bush. The early bird gets the worm.
Aquarius Horoscope
(Jan 20 – Feb 18)
The most boring tasks can morph into lots of fun if you only adjust your perspective. Luckily, the potential for sudden change is still growing. Unpredictable Uranus is in the spotlight today, shocking you with new and exciting experiences — even if you have routine responsibilities to handle before you move on to the more pleasurable stuff. Stay focused and get your work out of the way quickly so you have time to expand your horizons by pursuing other interests that bring you personal satisfaction.
Pisces Horoscope
(Feb 19 – Mar 20)
You appear very positive today, even if you’re holding some doubt in reserve while you vacillate between optimism and worry. However, others won’t likely sense your uncertainty, especially if you think it’s to your advantage to hide your lack of confidence. Ultimately, it’s in your best interest if you can find enough courage to share your fears with someone you trust, for they will most likely dissipate once you’ve given them voice.
Your Weekend Love Horoscopes for Nov. 29th to Dec. 1
Weekend Love Horoscopes
November 29 to December 1: Love Potion
Maria DeSimone on the topics of love, horoscopes, astrologyWith the Moon in sultry Scorpio you’ll crave emotional depths in love. With Scorpio there’s nothing superficial and certainly nothing halfway. Either you’re “all-in” when it comes to an affair, or you’re just not interested. Fortunately, the Moon will make fantastic aspects all weekend, supporting the best of what Scorpio has to offer rather than activating his shadowy and sometimes controlling side.
First, on Saturday there will be a trine to Neptune and a sextile to Pluto. This will encourage you and your mate to explore your passionate fantasies in a way that makes both of you feel secure, rather than vulnerable. In addition, the Sun will be at a trine to Uranus on Saturday, offering a burst of sudden vitality and innovative energy to shine a light on whatever it is about your relationship that is most unique. Don’t worry about your love thinking you’re eccentric … this is actually how you’ll win him or her over.
Then, on Sunday, the Moon will make supportive links to Saturn, Jupiter, Venus, Mercury and Mars. WHEW — that’s half of the zodiac all rallying to boost Scorpio’s potential for intimacy and soul-binding erotic moments. This weekend, when it comes to love, the universe has your back.
The Daily Cosmic Calendar for Nov. 28th
As indicated at the close of yesterday’s calendar entry, the lunar orb meets up with Vesta in airy Libra (12:01AM) — offering support for sisterhood bonds and increasing the value of assets and investments. There is additional good news less than 2 hours later when the Moon and the Sun form a supportive, 60-degree contact (1:43AM). Primary partnerships are more vulnerable to shake-ups and uncertainty due to Venus in Capricorn opposing Jupiter in Cancer (4:02AM) as well as the Moon in Libra opposing Uranus in Aries (6:11AM). If these two polarities behave like adversaries, then instability rises. However, there is always the chance that the four celestial bodies involved in these polarities can act as beacons of light and harmony instead of discord. The monthly Moon-Ceres union in Libra (8:58AM) is the perfect calming and comforting force that can bring warring parties to the negotiating table and smooth over hurt feelings and bad behavior. Trying too hard to solve problems this evening can backfire or prove too challenging as the Sun squares Pallas (8:08PM). Get ready for a rather turbulent end to November on Friday and Saturday as one long void lunar cycle and several disturbing sky patterns may put many human souls on the defensive. [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Standard Time. Be sure to adjust all times according to your own local time so the alignments noted above will be exact for your location.]

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
There’s no way around it: You’ll have a serious choice to make about your intimate life this week. Are you happy with the one who shares your bed? If not, admit it. If you are, however, then it’s time to ask yourself why you’re hiding something from him or her. Come on, you know you are … even if it’s a lie of omission just to protect your mate. Stop lying to yourself, Aries — you know you’re only trying to protect yourself. It’s time to access your courage and be willing to share what it is you take great pains to avoid.
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)
A deep conversation with your mate will bring you closer this week. On Monday, Mercury and Saturn will connect in your relationship sector, allowing you to make a realistic decision that’s long overdue. This may have to do with a change in how you handle finances together. Perhaps you’ll take on a joint account or loan, or one of you will help dig the other out of a financial hole. Your ability to achieve security in your relationship and your finances at the same time will be high. Use it well.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)
Are you and your new sweetheart ready for a commitment? This week, you may decide that the answer is a resounding “yes!” Expect a firm decision between Monday and Wednesday. Also, on Wednesday, if you’re already in a committed relationship you and your partner might have a conversation about starting a family, or, if you already have children, adding to your clan. No matter what’s happening in your love life, Thursday will be a day of mutual indulgence. Go ahead and spoil the one you love — just a little!
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)
Love might be an adventure this week, and if so you’ll feel determined to make the most of it. If you’re feeling a sense of wanderlust, you might decide to take matters into your own hands and arrange an impromptu trip with your sweetheart. You and your love may have talked about visiting an exotic locale that’s interested you both for quite some time, and it’s possible you will decide by Saturday that now is the time to go for it. Living your life out loud is your motto, Leo, and this week you plan on doing exactly that.
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
A creative project you and your sweetheart are working on may be your focus this week. Expect to make great strides in this endeavor, especially by Wednesday. You might also talk more about ways to have fun with your lover — both in and out of the bedroom. What hobbies or other recreational activities do you enjoy together? Do you have a shared passion besides each other? This will be an ideal week to explore whatever it is that gives you both joy as a couple.
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You’ll see the possibilities that lay ahead.
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
When it comes to your love life, you’ll be dead serious about whatever you say to your mate this week. If you make a promise, you have every intention to keep your word and you’ll go to the ends of the earth to make sure that happens. If you don’t mean exactly what you say, then you’re not going to say it. A significant pledge or decision with your lover might take place by Wednesday, and if so it’ll be something that adds depth to your already solid bond. If single, you may yearn for a deeper connection with someone on Saturday and Sunday.
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
You may feel overly optimistic about finances on Thursday, and as a result you may purchase an extravagant gift for your partner. Alternatively, you and your mate could decide to make an investment based on hope and faith. Take a step back and make sure you’re not putting your money into something that’s not secure. A little risk may be fine, but throwing caution to the wind altogether may cost you both — big time. If single, you might suddenly meet someone on Saturday who makes your knees weak. Delicious!
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
When your lover is your best friend, you have a special kind of blessing in relationship. On Wednesday, you’ll likely feel you’ve won the cosmic jackpot in that sense. The capacity you have to experience social simpatico and a true camaraderie with your lover will be incredible. Then, on Thursday, you and your partner might decide to learn something new together. Consider a class, workshop or even a webinar. Intellectual stimulation will bring you closer in every way possible.
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
With the Moon touring your 8th House of Intimacy from Monday through Wednesday afternoon, you may feel deep desires stirring inside of you that will be impossible to ignore. Perhaps you’re longing to be with someone, but your fear of rejection keeps you from initiating any potentially meaningful contact. Or, it’s possible that you’re in a relationship but feel extremely vulnerable about revealing too much too fast. The Moon in this part of your chart will help break down your walls. Surrender.
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
Your emotional focus will be on relationships between Monday and Wednesday, thanks to the Moon touring your 7th House of Partnership. During these days you may forge a deeper connection with your mate — or at least you’ll try. One thing is certain: You’ll have an almost intuitive grasp on what your sweetheart is feeling early in the week. Use it to nurture your bond rather than make your lover feel exposed. On Thursday, you and your love can expect a magnificent and socially fulfilling adventure. Wonderful!
Your Daily Horoscopes for Wed., November 20th
We start the day feeling anxious but our nervous energy gradually begins to settle down once the jittery Gemini Moon shifts into contemplative Cancer at 6:22 am EST. The edginess is emphasized by mental Mercury’s very early morning alignment with high-strung Uranus, elevating our expectations and encouraging rebellious behavior. Later in the evening, Mercury hooks up with penetrating Pluto to deepen our thoughts and activate our inner worlds.
Aries Horoscope
(Mar 21 – Apr 19)
Unfortunately, an uncontrolled slip of the tongue today might create more negativity than you wish. Speaking impulsively today may cause regret, but you cannot take back what you say. Thankfully, paying careful attention to the potential impact of your words prior to opening your mouth could prevent an unnecessary headache later on. Stopping to consider other people’s feelings first should be enough to save the day.
Taurus Horoscope
(Apr 20 – May 20)
There’s no reason to be in a hurry today even if you’re trying to resolve the tension between you and a loved one. Although you might be feeling a sense of urgency, taking your time may be the most intelligent tactic you can employ now. Thankfully, stressful emotions should settle down on their own, enabling you to process the previously frazzled energy. Don’t bother looking for quick solutions. Your inner guide will reveal the best path, but only if you have the wisdom to slow down and wait for the inspiration.
Gemini Horoscope
(May 21 – Jun 20)
Accomplish as much as possible today, especially since you may grow less ambitious over the days ahead. By working harder you can burn off some excess energy which increases your ability to concentrate on one thing at a time. But don’t think that you’ll miss something important just because you choose to narrow your focus. Instead of obsessively competing with others for a more dominant role now, perform your job to the best of your ability and then move on to what’s next.
Cancer Horoscope
(Jun 21 – Jul 22)
If you’re worried about the final outcome of a situation, remember that everything unfolds at its own rate and resolution may remain out of reach for now. Luckily, something unusual could happen today that snaps you out of your anxiety, even if no one else wants to acknowledge how much has changed in just a few short hours. You should explain your newfound optimism, especially if others are working hard to hide the truth. Just remember that blame doesn’t help your cause. Lead by example to make your point.
Leo Horoscope
(Jul 23 – Aug 22)
You dream about escaping now, instead of facing how much work there is for you to do. Happily, you may be able to sneak away from a few unpleasant chores today by simply going into hiding. However, denial isn’t a viable option because it doesn’t offer a lasting solution. It’s okay to withdraw a bit, but stay grounded and ready to interact if needed. A surprising turn of events might just change things for the better.
Virgo Horoscope
(Aug 23 – Sep 22)
Relaxing your focus on work may seem like a good idea but could leave you feeling a bit lost. The Moon sidles into your egalitarian 11th House of Friends this morning, enabling you to maintain a cool demeanor in most social situations. Broadening your horizons and expanding your network gives you and others much-needed hope. But don’t allow the present situation to dictate what’s real. Open your eyes to all of the possibilities and take a leap of faith.
Libra Horoscope
(Sep 23 – Oct 22)
You might be stressed out by your current need to feel your own power today, especially if someone important seems to be blocking your personal expression. Thankfully, time is on your side now, so don’t make up reasons to speed up the pace or you may just have to work harder than necessary. Nevertheless, don’t be afraid to add your two cents while you still have something to say that could dissipate the resistance.
Scorpio Horoscope
(Oct 23 – Nov 21)
A wave of uncertainty grows stronger and may dissuade you from attempting to manifest your dreams. However, this is not a great day to sit back and talk about unrealized potential. Wake up and get going as early as possible because you have a lot of work to do and the sooner you start, the sooner you will finish. You can make solid progress now if you put away your doubts and believe in yourself.
Sagittarius Horoscope
(Nov 22 – Dec 21)
You aren’t in the mood to do a whole lot of relationship processing today, but a complex array of circumstances appears to push you in the direction of self-analysis anyhow. Thankfully, you stand to gain crucial insight now, even if you were already sure that you knew the score. Remember, you can’t just walk away from your obligations. Thankfully, once you accept the inevitable and consciously face your fears, you could be amazed by how fast things can improve.
Capricorn Horoscope
(Dec 22 – Jan 19)
Your natural inclination may be to prevent others from seeing your vulnerability by hiding the true you from sight. Nevertheless, you have a deep reservoir of courage; it’s time now to dig it up and use it accordingly to stand up to your ghosts of relationships past. Messenger Mercury’s supportive sextile to transformational Pluto motivates you to sink to the bottom of the well so you can reinvent yourself out of sight. Just remember that once your inner work is done, the key to growth is in honest communication with those you love.
Aquarius Horoscope
(Jan 20 – Feb 18)
You might know exactly how to improve your health now, yet you don’t want to tell anyone about your current realizations. Worse, you may be tempted to take no action at all, even if change is desperately needed. Luckily, you’re smart enough to understand the importance of taking care of yourself. Resist the waves of complacency and break free from the status quo by enlisting the support of someone you trust. Make the most of the power of now.
Pisces Horoscope
(Feb 19 – Mar 20)
You may attempt to hide your vulnerabilities from others today and go to great lengths in order to protect your feelings. However, there’s no need to be overly dramatic now as you demonstrate your fondness for someone special. Nevertheless, expressing your desires isn’t only about clearing the air; it also improves your chances of getting what you want. The squeaky wheel gets the grease.
Your Daily Horoscopes for Saturday, Nov. 16th
There’s an unsettling electric buzz in the air that might not let us feel completely at ease today. We may be swept up in a whirlwind of activity that demands our attention or increases our concern as the Sun anxiously aspects unruly Uranus and powerful Pluto. But beneath the obvious stresses of the day, the calm Taurus Moon empowers us with a sense of inner stability. No matter what we face, staying grounded is our saving grace.
Aries Horoscope
(Mar 21 – Apr 19)
You’ve had your share of excitement recently, so you might pass on an unexpected invitation. You have important issues to handle now and it feels as if your window of opportunity is beginning to close. Thankfully, you are able to do whatever is necessary, even if you have been procrastinating up to this point. Don’t worry if you must miss an exciting social gathering today because you’ll still have plenty of time to get together with your friends in the weeks ahead. Work now, play later.
Taurus Horoscope
(Apr 20 – May 20)
If you have been keeping busy by doing favors for everyone else, it’s your turn to take care of yourself now.

Gemini Horoscope
(May 21 – Jun 20)

But don’t worry if people get on your case because you’re missing out on the fun. There’s no reason to waste energy defending your current behavior.

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Libra Horoscope
(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Scorpio Horoscope
(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Sagittarius Horoscope
(Nov 22 – Dec 21)
Your current strategy to avoid a deep discussion about your feelings might actually help you make it through the day.

The Moon is moving through dependable Taurus, a fellow earth sign, and her current visit to your 5th House of Spontaneity could bring you the creative boost that you need. The more you simplify your life now, the easier it will be when the pressure for change returns over the days ahead.
Aquarius Horoscope
(Jan 20 – Feb 18)
Your inner resolve is strong today and the Moon’s sweep through your 4th House of Roots enables you to get in touch with the source of your inflexible feelings. However, this transit might also provoke a bit of anxiety, since you’re not necessarily comfortable with such intense emotional encounters. Luckily, you don’t need to initiate any particular action-plan yet. The key is to continue digging into your past to recover memories that can teach you something useful about the present.
Pisces Horoscope
(Feb 19 – Mar 20)
Although the pace of life might seem to be slowing down a bit, a complicated situation may be intensifying, causing you to worry about it growing out of control today. However, nearly everything becomes more manageable as the steadfast Taurus Moon wends her way through your 3rd House of Immediate Environment. Hold on to your most core values and use them to set your course. If you find yourself engaged in a petty conflict now, remember that this, too, will soon pass.
Daily Cosmic Calendar for Friday, November 15th
Stay out of trouble in the early hours with the Moon void in Aries and Venus in a somewhat unstable position after squaring Uranus yesterday and about to unite with Pluto today. If you remember how this month began — with a deluge of alignments on November 1, including the heavy-duty clash between Uranus and Pluto — now Venus is attempting to play the role of inter-planetary peacemaker between these two outer-planet adversaries. However, this is easier said than done. First, the asteroid Vesta — having much to do with insurance rates and coverage, investments, home and hearth, safety and security themes as well as sisterhoods — enters Libra (5:46AM) for an extended stay until July 30, 2014. In addition, the Moon leaves yesterday’s void status in Aries and will provide some semblance of comfort as it glides into Taurus (6:50AM) — the first earth sign of the zodiac, ruled by Venus. This places an emphasis on handling monetary resources with care and deliberation. Later on, you need to be all eyes and ears as Venus makes its annual union with Pluto (1:34PM and activating 10 degrees of Capricorn). The hope is that Venus blends its friendly, loving vibrations with the mysterious, underworld powers of Pluto — allowing some kind of positive, emotional catharsis to occur, igniting the source of creative-artistic inspirations. From a shadow perspective, it is also possible that Pluto attempts to pull in the innocent Venusian vibrations, somewhat like a black hole in the universe is said to usually absorb and assimilate everything in its path, including light. Do your best to be an agent on behalf of goodwill and tender loving care. You can still be tested again this evening when the Sun forms a dicey, 135-degree tie with radical-change producer Uranus (9:02PM). Expecting the unexpected may be one way to avoid an increase in nervous tension. Keep in mind that with the potent Full Moon of Scorpio-Taurus arriving in two days, today and tomorrow constitutes a 48-hour time-period of preparation for the enlightening energies about to descend to humanity when the Sun and Moon reach their monthly crescendo on Sunday morning. [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Standard Time. Be sure to adjust all times according to your own local time so the alignments noted above will be exact for your location.]
Your Daily Horoscopes for Wed., November 13th
We wake up today feeling as if it will be a whole new ballgame, but as the day wears on we realize it may not be as easy as we think. The Moon’s shift into enterprising Aries at 2:39 am EST reminds us that we can accomplish nearly anything if we believe in ourselves. But the Moon’s challenging aspects to indulgent Venus, unpredictable Uranus and unforgiving Pluto could put a damper on the evening unless we loosen our grip on the reins of control.
Aries Horoscope
(Mar 21 – Apr 19)
Your enthusiasm may spell trouble today because the Moon returns to your active sign, inspiring you to take on the world. But it’s tricky to find the right amount of intensity because you might push so hard that your plan backfires. On the other hand, you could set yourself up for failure if you don’t try at all. Ultimately, you can increase your chances of being happy by scaling back your goals just a little bit and then taking a giant leap of faith.
Taurus Horoscope
(Apr 20 – May 20)
You might not be able to discover the source of your irritation today as the Moon’s presence in your 12th House of Invisibility hides something from view. It feels critical to find out what you’re missing, but the most significant information could be elusive to your watchful eye. Instead of pushing for the truth, try accepting what you already know while you wait for the rest to surface. Time spent alone can give you a chance to find the answers within.
Gemini Horoscope
(May 21 – Jun 20)
You may be offered a professional opportunity today that’s too good to turn down. But it’s difficult to stay focused at work now with the Moon visiting your 11th House of Friends. There could be an element of surprise when erratic Uranus flips things upside down, making it tricky to know how best to respond. Don’t abandon your responsibilities just because a social event sounds so exciting. Instead of planning your escape, show everyone you’re up for a challenge by turning a new project into a game and playing for keeps.
Cancer Horoscope
(Jun 21 – Jul 22)
There’s no reason to wait for marching orders from your boss today. Take a chance and trust your intuition; you probably already know what he or she wants from you. Nevertheless, you must exercise some caution or you might jump to an erroneous conclusion. Don’t make your move too quickly because an incorrect assumption could cause you to waste precious time. A more contemplative approach is likely to earn the respect of others and increase your chances for success.
Leo Horoscope
(Jul 23 – Aug 22)
Moderating your enthusiasm is no easy task today. Even if you’re able to envision exciting adventures ahead, it’s possible to take a plan so far that others tire of your outrageous ideas. Talking less and doing more is the smartest way to demonstrate that you are not all hype. Delivering the goods is just as important now as having a positive attitude. Actions speak louder than words.
Virgo Horoscope
(Aug 23 – Sep 22)
Your uncharacteristic desire to be different from everyone else today might make your interactions with others more intense than usual. You may become frustrated because you’re attracted to someone who seems as if he or she would make a close friend or intimate partner. However, you don’t necessarily like the idea of changing just to make the interpersonal dynamics work. Be willing to walk away from a relationship if you cannot be yourself in it. Your integrity matters more than anything else.
Libra Horoscope
(Sep 23 – Oct 22)
A friend or coworker might shock you by doing something totally outrageous today. You may be caught off guard by the intensity of the emotions being expressed, but it’s wise not to show your surprise or offer any negative judgment now. Instead of being overly reactive, stick to your current position and maintain your balance in spite of the chaos around you. Find your inner center and hold on tight.
Scorpio Horoscope
(Oct 23 – Nov 21)
You may be secretly attracted to someone at work today, yet this won’t be your typical romance because you want your freedom now as much as you want love and affection. You might not be clear about what you’re willing to give up in order to obtain what you desire. Don’t struggle too hard as you try to find a comfortable middle ground. It’s possible to remain curiously excited without actually acting on your feelings. Wait and see how things develop before making your move.
Sagittarius Horoscope
(Nov 22 – Dec 21)
You are tempted to write yourself a permission slip today and then sneak off to play. Although this might sound like a great idea, you need to fulfill your obligations first. Thankfully, you have the ability now to approach your job with an entirely different mindset that enables you to have fun while doing your chores. There’s no reason to be frustrated by your desire to escape; instead, express your creativity by exhibiting a high level of enthusiasm all day long.
Capricorn Horoscope
(Dec 22 – Jan 19)
You feel like you have too much to do now, especially if you are needed by a close friend or family member. You might think you can postpone your domestic responsibilities because you’re so busy at work, but this isn’t a wise strategy to pursue. Instead, make your personal commitments top priority while you let your professional obligations slip a little. It will be much easier to fully concentrate on your job tomorrow once you have taken care of those you love today.
Aquarius Horoscope
(Jan 20 – Feb 18)
You might want to shake everything up today, but change isn’t always the best idea — especially if your life seems to be working well. It’s one thing to try doing a task in a new way because you’re searching for more efficient methods. But doing it differently now just because you’re bored may not be the smartest strategy. There’s no need to fix what’s not broken; channel your excess energy toward more productive endeavors and watch what happens.
Pisces Horoscope
(Feb 19 – Mar 20)
Lots of new ideas about making money are popping into your head now, but they may not be practical enough to turn them into reality. Nevertheless, you’re sure that you can accomplish more if you just work faster. However, your new approach to your job could be unsettling to your coworkers who would rather maintain the status quo. Don’t be afraid to rattle some cages by trying something different. You can always go back to your old ways in a few days if it doesn’t work out.
Your Love Horoscopes for the Week of November 12
A slew of intense aspects this week will make for a romantic atmosphere that’s anything but mild. On Thursday, Venus will square off with Uranus, and an unanticipated development in your love life may leave you reeling. You might be the one who initiates a change, but it’s just as likely you’ll be on the receiving end. On Friday, Venus and Pluto embrace in a sexy conjunction that is all about obsession and possession. Will you take it too far? Then, a Full Moon in Taurus on Sunday will fuel your emotional need to sensually connect with someone close. If you can’t feel, hear, taste, see and touch your lover, then you just won’t be happy.
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
On Monday, a sublime conversation between you and your love will feel almost telepathic. Perhaps the two of you are hearing each other think, after all! In any event, use this day well and enjoy your enhanced mental and spiritual connection. By Thursday, however, expect a sudden turn of events. You or your sweetheart may crave extra breathing room or insist on shaking things up in your relationship. The harder you try to hold onto the way things “used to be,” the more likely you are to feel frustrated. Go with the flow.
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)
On Monday, you and your mate are likely to enjoy an enchanting social time together. You may attend a gathering with artistic or spiritual friends, and if so the conversations are sure to make you feel extra bonded to one another. On Sunday, a Full Moon in your sign will bring emotions to the surface. You’ll wear your heart on your sleeve and it’ll be easy for your sweetheart to read you. You’ll feel more emotionally gratified when your sensual needs are being met. Be sure to let your partner know exactly what they are.
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)
This week you and a friend may experience trouble with another friend. He or she may spill the beans about a private matter about your love life that you shared in confidence. You’re not likely to appreciate being the subject of gossip amongst your acquaintances, but this might be even more troubling if your sweetheart finds out. The situation will likely come to a head on Thursday and Friday, leaving you disappointed and raw with emotion.
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)
If you’re single and looking for love, you might decide to schedule an after work first date with someone special this Tuesday. Make it casual — perhaps cocktails after work or even a short lunch in the middle of your work day. By having no expectations and keeping it low-pressure, you’re more likely to enjoy each other’s company. By Friday, Venus and Pluto will engage in a sultry embrace, stirring your desires in the most irresistible way. A second date will quickly become hot and heavy — and you’ll be game.
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)
Sexual fancies may be difficult to contain this week as Neptune turns direct in your 8th House of Intimacy. You may long for the impossible love experience, or you may find that an erotic fantasy overtakes you and it is all you can think of. On Friday, someone at work could make a sexual advance towards you. If you’re attracted to this person, you’ll be flattered — but if not, you might consider it harassment. Even if the feeling is mutual, pursuing this could get messy. Handle with care.
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
When Neptune turns direct in your partnership sector this Wednesday, you might feel fuzzy regarding a decision that involves you and your mate. Don’t rush into anything, and avoid giving an ultimatum or becoming trapped by one. Romance sizzles by Friday, thanks to a heart-pounding connection between Venus and Pluto in your 5th House of True Love. Anticipate one of the most intense sexual encounters you’ve ever had. If you’re single, make sure you’re out and about. Either way, it’ll be difficult to ignore your desires.
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
A domestic dispute with your mate could leave you frustrated and ready to fly off the handle this Thursday. Do your best to refrain from hasty behavior because that may only serve to further alienate your partner. It’s as if everyone in your clan is on the same page about a certain situation except for him or her. While frustrating, it will pass. Now is the time to exercise patience. A Full Moon on Sunday may lead to emotionally charged news about your partner’s finances.
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
You may focus on a creative project with your sweetheart early in the week. Ideas will flow and your imagination will soar together, so be sure to schedule time for play on Monday. By Sunday, a Full Moon will fall in your 7th House of Partnership. If you and your partner are experiencing a difficult time, you’ll need to open up to one another. If you don’t clear the air, it’ll only suffocate you. Alternatively, this could be a time of incredible emotional fulfillment in matters of partnership. It all depends on where you currently stand.
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
This is not your week to mix love and money. No matter what the circumstances, be wary of lending cash to your lover or allowing him or her to manage your funds in any way. It’s not that you can’t trust your sweetheart, it’s just that this week it appears he or she may become overzealous about a “too good to be true” investment opportunity. Don’t allow yourself to get caught up in the hype with your mate. Instead, try to talk him or her down from the ledge.
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
Expect a solid focus on your love life this week. Venus, the planet that rules romance, will be in your sign, connecting to both unpredictable Uranus and transformative Pluto. With this cosmic lineup it’s likely that an unanticipated development in your love life will either intensify your feelings for someone special or repulse you altogether. A Full Moon in your romance sector on Sunday may bring an emotional ending or a solid commitment. Either way, get ready for the game of love to change.
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
You may reveal your feelings for someone inadvertently this week — something you quickly regret doing. If you’re pining away for someone you know you can’t be in a relationship with, no matter how hard you try, the fact isn’t likely to change. Declaring your love — or passion — for this person may only lead to rejection. Even worse, it’s possible this person may feel you’ve become obsessed with them and declare you a stalker. Not fun. If you know it is unrequited love, then do yourself a favor this week: Keep it quiet.
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
You might feel dazed this week as your ruler, Neptune, turns direct in your sign on Wednesday. Allow extra time to sleep in and indulge your imaginative side. If you can do this with your partner, all the better, but chances are he or she will feel there are more practical matters to tend to (like paying the bills). Still, this may be a week you need to take life at a slower pace. On Friday, Venus and Pluto will connect in your social 11th House of Friends. If single, you may entertain the idea of a friendship with benefits.
