Your Love Horoscopes for the Week of February 18th

If you have something important to say, it’s best to speak up before the weekend. Messenger Mercury turns retrograde on Saturday, which complicates communications during the next three weeks. Make adjustments now as loving Venus takes hits from radical Uranus and reactive Pluto that can stir up restlessness and resentment or lead to emotional breakthroughs in relationships. Change is inevitable, but how you choose to respond to it is up to you.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Having fun should be your top priority this weekend with the playful Leo Moon lighting up your 5th House of Romance and Creativity. It’s your time to shine by showing off your adventurous attitude and generous spirit. Your antics are highly entertaining now, making it easy to attract more than your share of attention. But if you’re trying to appeal to a sensitive person, exercising a little bit of self-restraint will keep you from coming on too strong and scaring away the object of your desire.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

The road to romance could be bumpy this week when your sociable ruling planet Venus is shaken by stressful contacts with unpredictable Uranus on Monday and inscrutable Pluto on Friday. Adjusting to surprises is key for the former and addressing power and control issues comes with the latter. Life is all about change now; if you’re brave enough to embrace it, you will get more from your relationships than you ever imagined.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Showing confidence is a must this weekend. The dramatic Leo Moon occupies your 3rd House of Communication where expressing yourself with warmth and creativity could make you irresistible to other people. However, you might attract someone who makes claims that stretch credibility. With your brainy planet Mercury turning retrograde on Saturday, it pays to double check the facts when you are dealing with significant issues or giving away your heart.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You can’t help but yearn for adventure and romance over the next few weeks. Your restlessness starts with the Sun’s shift into Pisces and your 9th House of Faraway Places on Monday. This solar alignment lifts your mind above the mundane matters of daily life to inspire a more exciting vision of relationships. Planning a trip with your current partner, connecting with someone abroad or engaging in cultural activities from another country spur dreams that can make your heart sing with optimism.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Your roar may be louder than usual this weekend with the mood-setting Moon in your proud and courageous sign. Your personal power and the ability to attract attention are operating on overdrive. But it also means that you may seem bossy or arrogant even if you’re not. Adding a touch of tenderness could be the magic needed to turn a potential connection into a fulfilling experience. Kindness and compassion kindle feelings that can take love to a higher place.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Don’t take what you hear literally this week as many of the messages others share might be unclear. The culprit of this confusion is your ruling planet Mercury slowing down before turning retrograde (backward) on Saturday. Learning to read between the lines by listening to the tone and tempo of speech will provide more information than the exact words themselves. Being more discreet in what you say softens tense conversations. Your intuition is your secret weapon now, so don’t be afraid to use it.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

It’s easy to enjoy yourself by playing with friends this weekend. But if repairing your current relationship or finding a new one is a priority, there’s some cleanup work to be done on Friday. Addressing an unsettled issue, expressing an unmet need or eliminating an undesirable habit or individual clears the way to the joy that lies ahead. Being part of a team isn’t always easy, but the emotional rewards are certainly worth the effort.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Feelings of jealousy could arise on Friday when loving Venus irritates your intense ruling planet Pluto. If you’re not getting what you want in relationships, it’s time to take stock of yourself instead of trying to change others. Weighing your needs against your assets will show where and how to make necessary improvements. You have plenty to offer the one you love, but you need to discover different ways to express yourself to maximize what you receive in return.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You may need to be extra careful midweek to avoid saying or doing something that upsets others. Fortunately, the likelihood of finding yourself in such delicate situations drops on Friday afternoon when the Moon fires into colorful Leo and your 9th House of Adventure. Your enthusiasm grows by leaps and bounds, especially when it comes to meeting new people and trying unusual experiences. Exploring unfamiliar territory could be the key to a very fulfilling weekend.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

A little drama can spice up your relationship life this weekend with the Moon’s move into theatrical Leo and your 8th House of Intimacy. You may be expected to give more to make magic happen with another person. Being generous in your actions and attitudes paves the way to an exciting connection. While this feeling certainly could be romantic, you can still have a memorable time without falling in love. Open your heart to love in all its many splendid forms.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

This is a great weekend for playing with an adventurous person who knows how to show you a good time. The expressive Leo Moon shines in your 7th House of Partners, attracting bold individuals with strong personalities. Put more passionate effort into a current relationship while you have the chance. Let yourself feel like a kid whose only goal is to have fun. This playful approach also pays off if you’re single and looking because adopting a low-maintenance attitude makes you much more fun to be around.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Avoid making serious long-term commitments this weekend as talkative Mercury is turning retrograde in your sign. The backward shift of this brainy planet indicates that promises made now may be hard to keep later. Instead, you can use the next three weeks to clean up messy communications that stand in the way of harmonious relationships. Taking the time to restate your position and to reconsider the feelings of others rebuilds personal bridges

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Monday, February 18th

Think pleasant thoughts as this Monday gets underway. Fortunately, Venus in a harmonious trine with Ceres (2:11AM PST) can build up your productivity across the board while the monthly Moon-Jupiter union in Gemini (3:56AM PST) brings out your happy-go-lucky demeanor.  A main change surrounds the shift of the Sun from airy Aquarius to watery Pisces (4:03AM PST). Watch your dreams for visions of the great beyond as well as dialing into the future via the little used faculty of precognition. Every so often, a lucid dream will provide a panoramic view of the future ahead of time.  You may have more tangible things to deal with a few hours later when Saturn at 12 degrees of Scorpio becomes stationary (9:03AM PST) from the Earth’s vantage point and begins moving retrograde until July 7. All Saturn themes — hard work and responsibility, perseverance and dedication, focus, structure, logic, common sense, profession, business acumen, CEO leadership, the father principle, delays, frustrations, limits, pessimism, depression, fears and old karma — are accentuated throughout the day. Strive to tap into the most prominent and helpful of the Saturn archetypes in order to have a very fulfilling day. Helping you do this is the monthly lunar union with Vesta in Gemini (1:34PM PST). Investments can increase in value if you are very careful — despite the strong presence of Saturn in the cosmic ethers today.  Social activities and love bonds may experience unpredictable short-circuiting due to a frictional, 45-degree link from Venus to Uranus (9:38PM PST).

Your Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday, February 13th

A feeling of enthusiasm resurfaces today and we’re ready for something new now that the Moon is back in enterprising Aries. There’s a touch of anticipation in the air that encourages us to express our need for independence. Thankfully, we may have plenty of energy that will come in handy when we’re faced with emotional stress as the combative Aries Moon joins rebellious Uranus early in the day and squares ruthless Pluto later in the afternoon.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

The Moon’s return to your sign infuses your day with emotional intensity. It may be wise to slow down because you tend to overreact to nearly everything that happens now. It’s as if the volume is turned up on a song that you can’t get out of your head. Nevertheless, strive to be gentle as you continue to stir up changes in your world.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

Although you might lack clarity about your current role in the community, there are important interactions happening now that are just beyond your perceptions. It’s important to learn whatever you can about the hidden dynamics, for what you don’t know could have a negative impact on you. Fortunately, as you gather more information, you’ll have more positive options from which to choose.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

Your social life might be racing ahead in your thoughts, but the current circumstances of your life can’t catch up to your big ideas. Ultimately, you can get what you want, but you must proceed with caution today. However, don’t overreact and stop your forward movement entirely. Instead, imagine that there are yellow lights at each emotional intersection. Slowing down now could prevent you from having to clean up a messy accident down the road.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

You are receiving strong cosmic signals that are pushing you forward, possibly creating anxiety in the process. A current relationship may be exerting pressure that requires you to balance your need for security with the expectations that other people place on you. Unfortunately, retreating to an emotionally safe place isn’t your best strategy today. Instead, face your resistance and take the next step forward. Breaking through your fears can be an exhilarating experience and just the catalyst for change you need.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Although you’re not afraid to stick to your perspective even if everyone else disagrees, you still have a lot to learn now by listening to their opinions. It really doesn’t matter that your mind is already made up. Your argument isn’t with anyone else; it’s with your own inner voice telling you that you know better. Soften your position and let go of your need to control everything. Demonstrating that you’re a team player makes it easier to maintain your integrity in the long run.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

It’s becoming easier to collaborate with others, even if their work habits clash with yours. You may even be excited about the idea of adopting a different style. Stay open to new ways of doing the same old things, for this flexibility might just provide you with the nudge you need. Whatever has become stale is fair game for revitalization today.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You might not have the final say in what you do today because unexpected circumstances demand quick reactions. Whatever unfolds around you has an immediate impact on your plans and could change your agenda. You can choose to be frustrated or consciously open your mind and let go of control. Take the external events in stride and enjoy yourself in spite of your previous expectations.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You have so many chores to do today that you may feel scattered if you try to do them all. Be smart; make a list and then start at the top. Consciously block out anything that isn’t specifically aligned with the immediate task at hand. Stay focused on what’s directly in front of you, and don’t start the next item on your list until you have completed the current one. A methodical approach helps you to overcome your lack of concentration and enables you to get everything done.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your current restlessness won’t likely cause you too much worry today. You’re quite familiar with experiencing bouts of wanderlust, allowing you to take your current fantasies of magical adventures in stride. Unfortunately, this may not be a sensible time to head out on a journey. Let your current impulse pass as a good idea that doesn’t need to materialize yet. You’ll get your chance to live out your dreams soon enough.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Life may present you with a problem that seems more like a puzzle to you today. Practicing what Zen philosophy calls “Beginner’s Mind” can be of great service in your search for a viable solution. If you become prematurely certain about the path to success, no amount of work will bring you satisfaction. However, treating the dilemma like a game frees your imagination to grasp the facts and allows you to come up with a brilliant answer.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

The idea of shaking up your daily routine is exciting, but you may be content to just contemplate the concept without taking any action today. Fortunately, you’re committed to finding the most effective strategy to work within the current restraints. Seek ways to become more independent through the use of your rational skills. For now, your incisive thinking is the best tool you have at your disposal.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

An unexpected situation may require you to focus on your finances today. This could take you beyond simply balancing your checkbook or paying a few bills. You must decide how you are going to build on what you have and move into the future. It’s time to be practical about money; just remember that you can be responsible without overreacting. Don’t turn a molehill into a mountain while simply putting things in order.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Sunday, February 10th

We can manifest our dreams from the seeds we plant as the ingenious Aquarius New Moon at 2:20 am EST marks the beginning of a new emotional cycle. But we must manage our exuberance because energetic Mars forms a dynamic square with powerful Jupiter, unleashing unbridled enthusiasm. Although a false sense of confidence tempts us to make commitments we can’t keep, a looming Venus-Saturn square counters our optimism with a more serious attitude.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Your future may be looking bright now that the Aquarius New Moon lands in your 11th House of Hopes and Dreams, making it difficult for you to contain your excitement. However, you must be careful because you could be more gullible than usual. Your friends’ schemes for world domination might not be as sound as you think. Solutions appear closer than they actually are now, so keep your enthusiasm up while proceeding with common sense.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

You may be stressed out by your own career plans now as you realize the commitment of time and energy it will take to achieve your goals. The Aquarius New Moon falls in your 10th House of Public Responsibility, yet you might feel restrained by the expectations of your partner or parents. Unfortunately, you can’t easily choose between work and family, so split your time equally during the next couple of weeks. Keep your eyes on the future while managing your relationships in the present moment.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

You have so many things going on all at once that it may be difficult to finish everything you start. Your goals are set high and the Aquarius New Moon in your 9th House of Big Ideas has you believing you can accomplish more than usual. Although you have the skills required to do the job, you still might not be able to reach the stars. Avoid disappointment by finding satisfaction in each and every little task you do.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

You could have unusual ideas about how to work with your colleagues today, but you might want more freedom of movement than you actually have in your current situation. The innovative Aquarius New Moon activates your 8th House of Transformation, yet you don’t have much latitude for experimentation now. If you want to gain the cooperation of others, don’t risk muddying the waters by revealing too much about your feelings. Instead, maintain clear boundaries between your personal and professional worlds for the best results.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You are like a magnet for brilliant people now that the eccentric Aquarius New Moon stimulates your 7th House of Relationships. Unusual companions will likely play an important role in your immediate future. However, your assertive approach can complicate a situation, so it’s wise to let others take the lead in social interactions today. Although you may be infused with self-confidence, stay cool and work toward being more cooperative rather than blazing your own trail.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Clean your closets, organize your information and sort through your files today. But do it in your own unique way because the individualistic Aquarius New Moon’s presence in your 6th House of Self-Improvement is a cosmic permission slip to be weird as you go about your chores. Don’t worry about involving others now as you establish your routine. An early spring cleaning will give you a new lease on life.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Use whatever technology is available to share your creative and fun-loving side today. The futuristic Aquarius New Moon falls in your 5th House of Self-Expression, inspiring you to try something new. But your idealistic desire for spontaneity is at odds with your practical need to finish your chores. Take a computer break to draw a picture, write a poem or play a game before getting back to more serious endeavors. Be responsible, but give your inner child permission to come out and play.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You might have unavoidable domestic responsibilities that require you to stay home and take care of personal business today rather than heading out into the world. The unpredictable Aquarius New Moon lands in your 4th House of Emotional Security, encouraging you to find shelter from the storms of life within the safety of your family. Don’t worry about any other activities you are missing; there will be plenty of time to chase your dreams another day.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Today’s Aquarius New Moon in your 3rd House of Communication may make your life rather hectic as the complexity of your schedule increases. You might want to let the less critical issues slide, but you probably enjoy the energy as you bounce around from one thing to another. Just be sure to follow through on the details or they will come back to haunt you later on. Thankfully, your friends and family can help you stay on track with their confidence in your success.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

The Aquarius New Moon activates your 2nd House of Possessions, emphasizing money issues over the next couple of weeks. Maybe there is growing uncertainty in your cash flow or, perhaps, you need to juggle resources to cover expenses. Be wise and plan how to use the days ahead to stabilize your financial condition. Although you might be overly optimistic one moment and cautious the next, tempering the extremes is your best bet.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Insightful mental flashes bring you a new awareness about a current relationship as today’s New Moon in your sign puts you in touch with your emotions. You may need to explore ways to increase your personal freedom if you feel constrained by someone close to you. However, if you are already feeling independent, you might actually seek security from a partnership. Either way, stand between your dreams and reality so you can draw the two closer together.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Oftentimes your dreams are elusive and slip away before you have an opportunity to write them down. Now, as the electric Aquarius New Moon stimulates your 12th House of Soul Consciousness, the images are more vibrant than ever and can even overflow into your waking life. Fantasies may be subtle but are also quite powerful. Making time to drift into the hidden recesses of your imagination inspires you to realize your fullest potential.

Your Weekend Lunar Love Horoscopes for Feb.8 – 10

Weekend Love Horoscopes

February 8 – 10: Make Your Escape

Jeff Jawer  Jeff Jawer on the topics of love, horoscopes, astrology

Freedom and forgiveness could make this a memorable weekend. Friday is brightened by the friendliness of the Aquarius Moon, which encourages a willingness to encounter different kinds of people and experimentation. The later it gets, the wilder we feel, as favorable lunar connections to unconventional Uranus and open-minded Jupiter lift social restrictions. There’s no need to take things seriously, as we blow off steam without worrying too much about the consequences.

If someone goes too far and says or does something inappropriate, it’s likely to be forgiven when the rebellious Aquarius New Moon resets the emotional clock shortly after midnight on Sunday. Risky behavior is appealing, which is fine when it liberates feelings and leads to fun. But bending rules and breaking hearts by making unrealistic promises will probably produce an emotional hangover, leaving heartache and regrets behind the following morning.

Fortunately, the Moon’s move into spiritual Pisces brings compassion on Sunday afternoon, which helps us to forgive mistakes and heal relationship wounds. Imagination flourishes with this lunar placement, making it a perfect time for a romantic escape from reality. Taking a walk on a secluded beach, listening to beautiful music or watching a movie are wonderful ways to relax and recharge without the pressure of seeking explanations, setting goals or solving problems.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Thursday, February 7th

The lingering loveliness of sensual delight is likely to last through much of the day as long as we don’t overdo it. Beautiful Venus forms a magical trine to indulgent Jupiter, tempting us to ignore sensible limits, possibly by eating or drinking too much. Our expectations soar, and we may even receive good news about money or love. Unfortunately, we could get a karmic wake-up call as the sobering Capricorn Moon hooks up with ruthless Pluto.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

At first, nearly every opportunity sounds good today and you’re tempted to say yes before you even have all the facts. Although the power of positive thinking can impact your day, there may be a point at which enough is enough. The problem is there could be silver linings in all the clouds now, not just the dark ones. Nevertheless, exercising common sense saves you from being caught out in a storm.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

Your good luck could be the envy of others at work today because it appears as if everything is going your way. The support you receive now encourages you to feel confident and act generously. You are inclined to spread cheer and good will. Nevertheless, don’t take the easy life for granted. Be willing to work for what you want rather than just expecting the rewards to fall in your lap.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

You may be feeling very lucky today, but it’s still not a smart idea to bet the farm on an intuitive hunch at this time. It’s not that you are destined to lose; you could even win big. However, there’s an inherent instability in overextending your energy or resources. Although you can rationalize your risk-taking, you’re better off playing it safe for now. A practical approach could bring you more happiness than you expect.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

You are being drawn into a deep emotional mystery that involves complicated interrelationships and unresolved feelings. Although your initial approach may be intellectual now, your curiosity motivates you to investigate places you’ve never been. Follow your intuition, no matter what twists and turns life places in front of you. Let go of your fear of the unknown and open your heart.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You could have a challenging time setting limits today. However, it’s even more likely that others in your life are frustrated with your lack of boundaries. It’s tough to maintain a clear perspective now because you’re very confident in your own abilities and in the potential of what you are doing. Practice turning down your volume and see if you receive a more positive reaction. Softening your approach won’t be any less fun, and it might be more effective in the long run.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You may have fallen into the giant Jupiter trap of dreaming about future success. It’s not that you lose touch with reality; you don’t. It’s just that you can get swept up in the potential comforts that go along with material rewards. However, it’s healthy to consider the creative possibilities, too. You might be ready to take a risk — as long as it’s not too big. It’s better to successfully hit your mark than set it too high and end up disappointed.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Once again you find yourself in that all too familiar place where both sides of a dilemma are equally attractive. No doubt, you love your freedom now. But you might have to give up some independence to gain the security of love that you also want. You could be leaning toward the side of intimacy and inclusion, but keep your travel options open, nonetheless. Fortunately, you can enjoy yourself today without making a final choice.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Getting along with others isn’t always easy for you because of your low tolerance for trivial matters. However, you may be feeling more confident about your role in relationships now. People in your immediate environment might attempt to use you in their quest for power today, but you’re more interested in seeking meaning. Even if your goals aren’t material ones, it’s time to reap some of the rewards from the seeds that you’ve sown.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

More of anything seems like a good idea now as delicious Venus harmonizes with your key planet Jupiter. You agree with William Blake, who wrote that the road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom. Unfortunately, it can also lead to the house of exhaustion. Even if you believe you know when to stop, you still might push it just one step too far. Thankfully, a more reserved approach enables you to indulge in the best of both worlds.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Your vision inspires you to work harder now, especially if you love what you’re doing. But don’t get sucked up into expansive Jupiter’s inflationary spiral, or you might not be able to work your way back to Earth. Use your core values as your compass and then stick to your plan of action. Even if everything is sailing along, remember that good business sense and rational thinking will set the most successful course.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You might talk yourself into thinking that all is in good working order at this time. However, you can also see the weak spot in the big picture and you believe your direct intervention could save the day. But it’s not a good idea to over-commit your resources to a project that’s built on the blue sky of Jupiter’s rosy optimism. Keep the ultimate goal in mind while focusing on your actions in the present moment.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may be exuberantly shining in all your glory today when sexy Venus kisses your key planet Jupiter. Sit back and enjoy the perfection of your own imagination while also extending it outward into your local world. Others can see the twinkle in your eye now, but they won’t necessarily know the source of your excitement. Don’t stop to explain your behavior; just continue to spread your magic wherever you go.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for February 6th

Rushing out of the starting gate as a jittery jockey on horseback is not advised — when Sagittarius Moon is still in a void twilight zone until 9:56AM PST. Once the clock strikes that moment, the Moon leaves void status and enters earthy, industrious Capricorn for the next two days. Hard work and determination are your dynamic duo leading to the professional Promised Land.  Add a little eccentricity and innovation to your daily routines as Venus forms a supportive, 60-degree liaison with revolutionary Uranus (11:09AM PST). Tap into your creative imagination in the arts, photography, film-video production, music and dance improvisation when Mercury unites with Neptune at 3 degrees of Pisces (3:01PM PST). This latter conjunction also encourages soul-searching and meditation.  One of the best evenings in a long time greets you with fanfare since lovely Venus trines auspicious Jupiter (9:59PM PST) — paving the way with a rainbow essence toward early tomorrow’s Moon-Venus parallel (1:22AM PST). Be a pleasure-seeker for a change of pace.

H is for Unwanted Habit Spell

H

 

 

 

Unwanted Habit Spell

 

To eliminate an unwanted habit, make a poppet of yourself out of cloth, straw, or a carved candle.

Make symbols or words on it to indicate what you want to release forever, allowing anger to build within you that you have practiced this unwanted behavior. Call upon Pluto or Hecate to assist your resolve to fully carry out change in you life.

Using a safe container such as an iron cauldron or metal bowl, anoint the poppet with a few drops of oil of myrrh, pennyroyal, rosemary, or rue, and then carefully set it on fire, visualizing the release of your unwanted habit or trait forever.

Burn the poppet to ashes, and then take the ashes to a place where you have no need to be at any time soon. Bury it, turn firmly, and walk away. Don’t look back.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Thursday, January 31st

We want everyone to get along now because our attraction to peace and harmony is strong when the Moon visits diplomatic Libra. The Libra Moon also awakens our desire for beauty, prompting us to think about aesthetic perfection as an idea, rather than experiencing it directly. This sense of detachment is amplified by the conceptual Aquarius Sun. Meanwhile, the erratic brilliance of a Mercury-Uranus alignment zaps our minds with radical new ideas.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You are drawn into stressful relationship dynamics, both at home and at work, as the Moon visits your 7th House of Companions. However, your emotions may not be on the same page as those of your partner or coworker. Unfortunately, you might place roadblocks between yourself and intimacy because you’re afraid of losing your independence. Instead of resisting your fears, get them out into the open where their power dissipates once and for all.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

The Moon’s presence in your 6th House of Work reflects your need to know you are doing a valuable service. Nevertheless, there is a part of you that would prefer to skip out on your responsibilities and indulge in pleasurable activities instead. However, as a stubborn Bull, it takes a lot to pull you off course; even if you want to relax, your unwavering determination can help keep you on track to reach your destination on time.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

You may be motivated to express your creativity in original ways today, but it’s still hard to set practicality aside in the name of spontaneity. Nevertheless, your sense of responsibility won’t likely be strong enough to shut down your free-spirited behavior. It might be helpful to eliminate extraneous noise by minimizing your time online and postponing unnecessary meetings. You have a better chance of accomplishing your goals if you can hear yourself think.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

You might not feel very adventurous today as the Moon moves through your 4th House of Home and Family. But seclusion can be problematic, especially if you need to play a leadership role at work or in the community. Don’t waste time dreaming about your escape because you probably won’t go through with it, anyhow. Instead, demonstrate your maturity by doing the right thing now and fulfilling your obligations.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

It’s all about diplomatic communication today as five planets move through relationship-oriented Air signs, making what you say less important than how you say it. However, you have the capability to turn your dreams into reality now, so you must be careful when sharing your fantasies with anyone else. Take time to consider your audience and fine tune your delivery; concentrate on your goal and stay true to your heart.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You may seem very determined to get whatever you want today, but you must first overcome your timidity and ask properly. The emotional Moon in your 2nd House of Self-Worth can give you a sense of firm resolve, but your actions might not back up your intentions. If you find your mind wandering throughout the day, just gently bring your focus back on point and try again.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Tender feelings rise up to the surface as the gracious Libra Moon travels through your 1st House of Personality today. You are highly sensitized to the subtle emotional energy spreading through your environment, and you’re aware of the impact that your reactions have on others. As helpful as you are, don’t forget to take care of yourself, too. You won’t be any good to anyone if you don’t pay attention to your needs first.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You might feel somewhat discouraged today as the Moon visits your 12th House of Escapism. It’s hard to get much done if you’re not motivated to interact with anyone else. You don’t want to be fully involved with the outer world and are tempted to withdraw into the hidden recesses of your imagination. Do what you must to get by, but don’t shut off your dreams now just because they don’t easily fit into reality. Remember, indulging your fantasies is a wonderful way to explore all the possibilities ahead.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Everything seems to run smoothly today, helping to soothe any lingering tensions. Don’t worry about trying to resolve all the differences of opinion; just remember that being kind and considerate relieves the building pressure. Your current strength is reinforced by the fair-minded way in which you deal with others, even when you don’t agree with them. It’s more important to be a part of the community now than being on the winning side.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

It’s challenging to shake off the stress these days, especially if someone is pushing your emotional buttons. Still, you appear to continue acting gracefully even in a difficult situation. Thankfully, you’re able to hide your tension for a while longer, enabling others to feel more at ease. Fortunately, your own anxiety is ameliorated when everyone else finally settles down.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Even if serious responsibilities continue to multiply, today’s peaceful Libra Moon lightens things up. Although the source of your concerns won’t likely disappear, taking a more spiritual approach to very real problems certainly helps. There’s no reason to upset the applecart; for now, just try to go with the flow. Be smart and save your energy for when you really need to take a stand.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

There are complex emotional waves washing through your mind now, challenging you to balance them with more practical issues. Unfortunately, it’s difficult to find your rhythm and maintain the pace long enough to accomplish your goals. Listen to your inner voices as you carry on with your normal routine. The discomfort will settle soon, leaving you enriched by the experience.

Daily Horoscopes for Wedneday, January 30th

Cosmic forces of expansion and contraction push us one way and pull us another. Windows of opportunity begin to open as auspicious Jupiter ends its four-month retrograde phase. Obstacles appear as the Sun squares restrictive Saturn, requiring us to slow down or even stop; however, external problems may be symptoms of our fears. The efficient Virgo Moon helps us make a plan, but success might demand a leap of faith in addition to hard work.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You are confronted with the realization that your long-term goals may not be supported by the current circumstances. Nevertheless, you’re tempted to set your throttle at warp speed and ram your way through the restraints. However, this type of impulsive strategy is foolhardy now. Don’t push; instead, try to understand what reality is showing you. Once you learn that lesson, the stress will begin to dissipate and the path ahead will clear.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

Your emotions can get in the way today if someone blocks your progress, but the reasons for your intense feelings might not be apparent to you yet. Resist making any judgments now because it may take a few days to fully comprehend what’s going on. Life is somewhat unstable at the moment and it makes sense to wait until the turmoil settles. Take your time and get it right instead of blindly pushing forward.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

You may feel uncharacteristically pessimistic today, but nothing is as impossible as it seems. Thankfully, the emotions that are holding you back can also contain the seeds for your future progress. Don’t accept defeat under any circumstances, even if your confidence is waning. Remember, your current actions set the stage for the transformations ahead.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

It feels like you don’t have enough of what you need today. Although your problem could be a lack of resources, it might also be your self-esteem that’s in short supply now. Whatever is troubling you, don’t allow yourself to grow discouraged; the current difficulties are not about failure. This is an excellent chance to prove yourself by gathering your strength and making the best of what you have.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Even if significant issues are already developing at home, your current actions still have major consequences over the weeks ahead. Consider the work that you must do; if you’re trying accomplish too much, you may be forced to let some things go. Make the necessary adjustments now by taking cues from reality before it’s too late. The sooner you act, the easier it will be to lighten your load.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your reliable common sense helps you to remember what is most important now. Even if something at work isn’t going as well as you wish, you can still make a smart decision today that enables you to stay on your chosen path. Be clear about your intentions and focus on your goals. Your confidence in your own abilities is currently your most valuable asset.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Most areas of your life seem to be moving along quite well, but you could face conflicts now between what you want to do and the amount of money you make. Someone close to you may act impulsively and irresponsibly, adding to your emotional stress. Your innate ability to roll with the uncertain circumstances is your best defense. Stay flexible, hold on to your sense of humor and you’ll move through this time with grace.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your temptation now is to follow the vision of your most idealistic future, even if it’s totally unrealistic. However, you must make some changes in your plans as your needs evolve with the shifting tides. But it doesn’t make sense to alter too much at once since you cannot afford to destabilize your life. Start making small yet meaningful adjustments so that you can reach your dreams.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You manage to keep a smile on your face, even when you encounter difficult situations. Although you have several supportive allies, it’s easy to doubt yourself now. But this is not a smart time to quit; if life seems overwhelming, remember that Saturn the Tester is only giving you a wake-up call. Taking a spiritual retreat may be all that you need to regain your footing. Do whatever is necessary to ground yourself for the changes ahead.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

It’s all too easy to acknowledge your own weaknesses today while the radiant Sun squares your key planet, sobering Saturn. Unfortunately, you might judge yourself harshly; it’s frustrating if you don’t match up to your ideal. However, this period of testing isn’t happening because you’re not good enough; it’s because you are being so hard on yourself. For now, just take note of where reality doesn’t meet your expectations. Wait a few days before reassessing your goals and then make whatever improvements you can to step up your game.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Paradoxically, it’s easier to feel free if you can accept the limitations being placed on you now. Instead of trying to eliminate all boundaries, learn to work within the safety net they provide. Don’t attempt to push the edges of the envelope today. Restrain yourself just enough to maintain the status quo. Even if you’re facing a difficult challenge, rise to the occasion and show what you can do.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

A highly restrictive situation may prevent you from stepping over your limits, even if you aren’t conscious of what’s holding you back now. Stop worrying about what could fall apart or what might not work. Instead, focus singularly on your responsibilities. Today won’t be the most relaxing day, but you can turn it into one that is quite productive with just a bit of serious intention and sincere follow-through.

Your What Was Suppose To Happen Horoscopes for January 29th

We may feel overloaded with facts today as we sift through the incoming data. The intellectually discriminating Virgo Moon raises the bar of acceptability now as we dismiss information that doesn’t stand up to our highest standards. However, concentration is challenged this morning as the emotional Moon squares boundless Jupiter in scattered Gemini. Thankfully, it’s easier to focus when the Moon harmonizes with perceptive Pluto later in the day.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Even the unimportant things can be annoying today, especially if they are the result of careless thinking. Unfortunately, you may be in a hurry and judge others harshly if they can’t keep up with your pace. However, practicing patience helps your day flow smoothly and makes everything run more efficiently in the long run. Remember, not everyone is as fast as you.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

There isn’t a lot of room for frivolous activities today; however, a bit of fun isn’t out of the question. You are eager to temporarily set aside your responsibilities, especially if you believe that you can learn something from an extracurricular experience. Find out in advance how much time you need to allow for play so you can finish up your chores later. It will be easier to escape for a while if you already know that you have your bases covered.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

You might not be the most meticulous worker in the world, yet you can move very quickly once you start a job. However, you may put extra attention toward the details today if you are trying to impress someone, especially your boss. But your work could still fall short of other people’s expectations, even if your intentions are honorable. Nevertheless, don’t be too self-critical; just do the best you can and move on to what’s next.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

You may do better today if you schedule your activities in advance, rather than flying by the seat of your pants. Attend to your commitments early on so you can also make time to get in touch with your inner self through prayer, meditation, or meaningful conversations with friends. Meeting your obligations is important, but don’t be so focused on the clock that you miss a truly wonderful opportunity to connect with your heart.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Make time to catch up on financial matters today since your mental acuity is even sharper than usual. However, the best application of your skills isn’t just to pay bills or balance your accounts. The issues are currently bigger, so sit back and reassess what’s of most value to you. If you must make a choice about allocating funds now, use your resources in the most practical way possible.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You might feel somewhat uncomfortable with your irrational mood swings today as the emotional Moon visits your analytical sign. Avoid any tasks that require high levels of concentration, for you may not be able to prevent your mind from wandering now. Even if you want to take the day off, you’re unwilling to disappoint those who depend on you. However, scheduling short breaks throughout the day improves your ability to focus on the work at hand.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

It’s becoming harder every day to contain yourself, but you’re probably not quite ready to let others know your feelings yet. Ironically, keeping your emotions to yourself now can heighten your spiritual awareness — as long as you don’t slip into denial about what’s occurring. Try not to succumb to external pressures; you’ll know exactly when to act if you trust your own intuition more than anyone else’s advice.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Spending time with your friends and associates today offers the change of pace you seek, but don’t try to micromanage your social activities. Instead of wasting time by attempting to create a memorable event, stay flexible without assuming control of the situation. Ultimately, you have more fun and are more effective today when you are acting spontaneously, instead of working from a script.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Attempts to accomplish too many things all at once today could lead to doing a poor job at all of them. Tread lightly in all of your interactions because understating your responses is the most efficient use of your energy now. Just take care of each problem as it pops up in a calm and collected manner. Your enthusiasm suddenly returns when others recognize how well you are handling a complicated situation.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

There are powerful forces at work today, yet they may be hiding behind the scenes so you can’t see them directly. Your personal proverb du jour might be “out of sight, out of mind,” but, ultimately, this isn’t the smartest strategy. Your tendency is to overlook minor details now, but a small thing could be the catalyst that turns your day around. Instead of jumping from one task to another, stick with each one until you are sure that the energy has run its course.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Consider the potential benefits of working in close collaboration with a partner now, whether you’re starting a new endeavor or simply doing a project around the house. Another person can bring important information or an interesting perspective to your work. However, you may be so quick to criticize the contributions of others today that you shut them up before you hear what they have to say. Don’t be judgmental or you might miss out on a really great idea.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may feel as if everything you do today falls short of other people’s expectations. But if someone is highly critical of your actions, he or she might not understand you or your behavior. Rather than responding as an unappreciated victim, take time to carefully explain your intentions. Even if you’re going over familiar territory, it’s healthier to share your hurt feelings instead of hiding them. Starting an honest dialogue provides an opportunity to clear the air once and for all.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Friday, January 25th

We may want to sweep our feelings under the rug today with the Moon in shy Cancer. But a buoyant Sun-Jupiter trine acts as a magnifying lens that makes circumstances appear better than they really are. An indulgent Venus-Jupiter alignment sweetens sensory experiences and softens our fears. But our pleasure-seeking motives don’t kick in until later; we must first overcome the austere judgments of a Mercury-Saturn square that blocks our creativity.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You already made your choice to ride the incoming waves by maintaining a positive attitude, yet you might have underestimated the power of the tides now. Don’t be afraid to retreat and re-evaluate your plans before pushing against the currents. A steadier pace improves your chances of reaching your destination. Regardless of the actions of others, you have the capability to transform your love into something greater than it already is.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

Your common sense reminds you to think before you speak, because it’s better to get your message right the first time rather than having to start all over. Although you’re not greedy, you might have trouble acknowledging your limits today. More is not necessarily better; if you have set a goal, be prepared to stop when you reach it.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

Although your key planet Mercury is impeded by austere Saturn today, communication will improve later in the day. Your good idea is close to paying off if you remain persistent in your efforts. However, too much stress at work can make you less effective, so be flexible and coast for a while if you run into trouble. Resist the temptation to dig in and make a stand. Adaptability is your not-so-secret weapon, so don’t be afraid to use it.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Your emotional reactions are strong today, yet you won’t gain any advantage by giving up at the first sign of conflict. Neither do you need to battle against an immoveable stone wall. Your most sensible strategy is based upon consistent behavior without aggression. It may even be helpful to consciously let go of control so you can float with the flow. Calm your nerves by surrounding yourself with nature, soothing music or just good old-fashioned silence.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

This is a significant day for relationships and you may end up quite pleased with the outcome. However, you might need to demonstrate a bit of self-restraint or someone else could rain on your parade. The dynamics of the current situation have long-lasting ramifications; even if you feel as if you’re being bent out of shape, express the love that is already in your heart. A simple act of kindness can shift the energy and make everything brighter.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

A flood of brilliant ideas opens many possibilities at work today, yet you may grow frustrated because you cannot turn this magic moment into something more. If you meet resistance now, pushing harder won’t bring success. Instead, ride the intellectual currents and wait for the energy to settle down before finalizing your career plans. Exploring your options enables you to make the most of the amazing opportunities knocking at your door.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You have a lot of work you hope to accomplish today and you really don’t want to modify your schedule. Unfortunately, too much rigidity only stirs up more conflict. You stand to gain the most by meeting others halfway and being as spontaneous as possible. Paradoxically, compromising may be the easiest way for you to get what you want now. Just make sure you don’t go to the opposite extreme and become so enthusiastic about every idea that nothing gets done at all.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Some of your current conflict stems from how you reacted to recent events. If you pursued an opportunity without overplaying your hand, you won’t likely run into any problems at all. But if you made a poor decision, today’s consequences might be a bit tougher to accept. Nevertheless, letting go of your old expectations clears the energy and frees you to achieve your goal.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Although you may be worried that your best-kept secret isn’t safe now, you still could enjoy yourself while managing the situation. Today’s high level of action is what you wanted, so don’t waste your energy wishing that everything was less hectic. The Sun’s sweet trine to auspicious Jupiter indicates that there’s really a pot of gold at the rainbow’s end. However, you must meet your current responsibilities before you can magically transform a tricky moment into an awesome day.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

If you have been handling the details of a project and living up to your end of the bargain, then rewards may be just around the next corner. But the clouds might not clear until later in the day, just in time for a great weekend. Meanwhile, don’t fall behind in your work. Part of your current lesson is learning to live with more uncertainty. Find meaning in the present moment while also honoring your dreams for the future.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

It’s hard to keep your thoughts in line today, but you’re up for the challenge. Although you might not have much fun at first, don’t waste energy berating yourself if something isn’t working out as desired. Your maps have brought you this far but you must set them aside now to explore the uncharted territories ahead. Transform any remaining fear into courage and trust your intuition. Be optimistic about the possibilities, even if everything continues to change.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

If your fantasies have hijacked your attention, someone may shock you with their criticism today, refocusing your attention back on reality. Instead of rejecting the advice you receive from others, embrace it. Just make sure you establish healthy boundaries to maintain your emotional sanity. Nurturing your confidence, not your skepticism, will guide you toward fulfillment.

Weekend Love Horoscopes for January 25 – 27

Weekend Love Horoscopes

January 25 – 27: Going to Extremes

Jeff Jawer     Jeff Jawer on the topics of love, horoscopes, astrology
 

Dramatic gestures and grand events invite love and affection into our lives this weekend. That’s not how we’re likely to feel on Friday morning, when the cautious Cancer Moon is more concerned with safety than adventure. But resistance to romance begins to melt in the afternoon with a lunar opposition to alluring Venus, and playing it safe is completely out of the picture on Saturday.

The flames of passion burn brightly on Saturday, when the Moon enters expressive Leo in the morning and favorable lunar aspects to unconventional Uranus and extravagant Jupiter add fuel to emotional fires in the evening. The hunger to open hearts peaks with the lively Leo Full Moon on Saturday night. Going to extremes in showing feelings and demanding attention may be unavoidable, yet allowing ourselves to prance, dance and express affection without restraint can make this a breakthrough time for relationships.

Giving generously and not holding back on expenses or emotions is a ticket to the big show of delight. This is no time to let practicality or logic get in the way of the pleasure that’s flowing now. It’s play time on Sunday, as flirtatious games and creative activities widen the channels of joy that keep love alive.

Your Daily Horoscopes for January 24th

It’s difficult to keep our feelings hidden today, even if we don’t want to upset the status quo. The passive Cancer Moon reflects our penchant for privacy, but her stressful aspects to shocking Uranus and passionate Pluto indicate a wild ride ahead. Additionally, the Sun’s energizing sextile to electric Uranus tempts us to try nearly anything that excites us. We must balance our immediate desire for novelty with our need for emotional security.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Your motivation to explore new territory is countered by feelings of emotional self-restraint today. Your inner voice reminds you to be sensitive to other people’s needs over your own. However, all the cautionary advice in the world may not prevent you from acting on a brilliant breakthrough now if you have the chance. Just remember to temper your actions with kindness so you don’t inadvertently hurt someone you love.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

You may save the day by creating the ultimate plan that everyone has been waiting for from someone else. Ironically, your contribution might come at the very last minute. Nevertheless, your thinking is sound even if it’s unexpected and unconventional. Expressing your ideas with clarity encourages others to support your solution. Don’t be afraid to take charge; assume the role of leader until you are sure that everything is running smoothly.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

You are flying at top speed yet you still feel something pulling you down today. The experience of dragging an anchor might be connected with an unpleasant memory that raises issues of self-doubt. You won’t be able to go far as long as you are in denial. Luckily, you could change everything by simply being more aware of your feelings. The dead weight can be dropped instantly once you accept your past and move on.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

You want to express your needs in no uncertain terms today, and you expect others to sit up and take notice. There might even be a special someone you hope to impress, prompting you to do something impulsive that is completely out of character. This spontaneous behavior could attract the attention you seek now, but perhaps not in the way you prefer. Don’t try too hard; just be yourself and don’t worry so much about the outcome.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You want to help others now, but you prefer to do it sight unseen with the Moon visiting your 12th House of Secrets. Thankfully, you can accomplish something today that will mean a great deal to someone else without a whole lot of effort on your part. It may not seem like much to you, but your actions might bring deep healing to a loved one. Fortunately, grand gestures are not necessary; it’s your attention to the details that matters most.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

There’s no reason to take responsibility for anyone else’s crazy behavior. If someone at work does something that catches you off guard today, just try to take it all in stride. Actually, a surprise could shock you just enough to reveal a new way of doing a routine task that you hadn’t previously considered. It may seem like a reach, but, ultimately, you’re the only one standing in the way of your success.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your focus is being redirected toward others now while the Sun sextiles unpredictable Uranus in your 7th House of Relationships. You probably don’t mind a bit of anonymity, but it may be time to examine your insecurities if you’re having trouble with a lack of attention. Luckily, you could be more successful by using your talents to help someone else. There’s no need to be concerned if you don’t get the credit you deserve today; the spotlight will return to you soon enough.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You might feel stuck by your previous commitments and there isn’t an easy way out now. You are willing to resign yourself to do what you said you would, even if you’re uncomfortable with the situation that has developed. Thankfully, everything can flip in an instant as an ingenious idea lights up your brain like a bolt of lightning. Prepare for positive change with cheerful optimism since your attitude can really make a big difference.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

It may be difficult to fit into the standard box of a traditional relationship now as you’re pulled into your own world of unique feelings. Don’t be too self-judgmental because you have something very special to offer, and anyone close to you probably already knows this. If others can appreciate you for who you are, it should all work out — but first, you must learn to love yourself.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

The moody Cancer Moon in your 7th House of Partners places you in direct touch with your feelings by attracting highly emotional people into your orbit today. You often avoid revealing your vulnerability, but you might feel destabilized enough now to open up to someone you trust. Be willing to learn more about your own inner workings by tackling a tough issue. Thankfully, a difficult situation can rapidly change into a more pleasant one if you roll with the incoming waves.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You might be afraid that you’re headed for a major conflict now, when everything suddenly improves. Don’t try to control anyone’s behavior because your fear of a negative outcome could actually bring it into manifestation. Thankfully, you can sidestep an unnecessary dispute today if you remember that arguing won’t help you get any closer to your goals. Solve your current problem within your brilliant imagination before trying to affect positive change on the outside. The solution is within your mind’s grasp.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may be entirely safe jumping into the unknown today as long as you believe that everything will work out fine. Fortunately, you will likely have all the support you need now if you don’t lose sight of what’s most critical. However, your creative visualizations can only get you so far. The power of positive thought still needs to be reinforced with a concrete plan and solid effort.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for January 24th

Reminiscing about the good old days often occurs instinctively during the monthly lunar transit in Cancer. This is because this sign signifies the past, family ties, and ancestral roots. Look through photo albums, the basement or attic for long-lost keepsakes and memorabilia. Healing forces are back on the march as the Moon forms a flowing trine with Chiron in water signs (9:32AM PST).  Don’t let your overall productivity decline as the Sun makes a frictional, 135-degree tie with Ceres (2:52PM PST) while Venus makes an off-kilter, 150-degree link to Ceres (9:18PM PST). Cooking, baking and preparing your garden for the growing season are emphasized throughout the day.  Learn more about recent economic and market trends in order to increase the value of your investments as Mercury makes a trine to Vesta (6:25PM PST). Sisterhood and fellowship gatherings are promoted by the same alignment.  Let your spiritual willpower and mental concentration guide you as Mercury parallels Pluto (6:50PM PST). Revelations abound later on when the Sun forms a supportive, 60-degree alliance with lightning-bringer Uranus (8:47PM PST). Start preparing for Vesta making a station and going direct in Gemini as well as a potent Full Moon — both happening on Saturday.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Monday, Jan. 21st

Weaving stories to connect the apparently separate bits of data in our lives creates tapestries of information. The Moon’s shift into curious Gemini at 9:04 am EST pulls us out of our hearts and into our heads. We feel like we have all the answers as the Moon harmonizes with the conscious Sun, clever Mercury and confident Jupiter. Conceptual breakthroughs are likely as Mercury the Messenger forms a collaborative sextile with ingenious Uranus.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21– Apr 19)

Your mind is free to explore new ideas today, and your words are in the spotlight. Although you can jump to brilliant conclusions very quickly now, think before you speak and carefully read your email through one more time before you hit the send button. However, there’s no reason to hold back once you’re sure of your message. Since you have a greater impact on others than you realize, it’s wise to get it right the first time. Give your waiting audience a show they won’t forget.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20– May 20)

Your thoughts may run amok today, as if they’re not under the jurisdiction of your logic. But temporarily setting aside common sense can actually lead to an unconventional solution to a tricky problem. Unfortunately, your co-workers might not be willing to give your ideas a fair hearing unless you have the facts to back up your position. Do your homework and be sure to have your information in order before sharing your plans with anyone else.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21– Jun 20)

The Moon’s return to restless Gemini inspires your thoughts to fly around in circles, as if they are eagles spiraling on the thermals. Your performance seems easy and graceful to others, but you might need to work hard to keep up the appearance. Meanwhile, you could feel stuck as the prevailing winds won’t allow you to break free. Don’t waste energy struggling against the breezes now; enjoy floating around until the wind changes and gives you an opportunity to escape.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21– Jul 22)

Sharing your emotions can be a challenge now, even if you’re clear about how you feel. However, you sense a change coming and you aren’t yet sure as to which way your mood will swing next. Thankfully, this uncertainty isn’t upsetting or worrisome today as long as you are content to just wait it out before making any important decisions. In the meantime, discuss your options objectively and be open to the feedback you receive.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23– Aug 22)

Someone might come to you with an unusual plan today, but you aren’t so quick to endorse what you consider to be a risky solution to a simple problem. You can envision alternate strategies that seem more straightforward, and you would rather exhaust these direct approaches first. Even if you’re certain that your answer is the most logical one, remain open to the surprises you encounter along the way.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23– Sep 22)

Your friends need you today in ways that require you to express more emotions than you prefer. Even if you’re resistant to revealing your inner thoughts now, try softening enough to give others what they want. You may feel like you’re just going through the motions at first, but sharing your heart is a perfect prescription to brighten your day. You might receive something beautiful in exchange for stepping outside of your comfort zone.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23– Oct 22)

You could find yourself in a jam today, and you’re uncertain if you should ask for help or just let it ride. Imagine what you would do if you had absolutely nothing standing in your way. Then, return your focus back to your current situation. If sharing your needs can bring you any closer to your goals, then don’t hesitate to say what’s on your mind and just deal with the consequences as they arise.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23– Nov 21)

You may intellectualize complex emotions that normally elude description. But your intuition is operating in overdrive now, so don’t be afraid to rely on it. Nevertheless, you still have to prioritize your needs or you will be pulled in so many directions that you’ll just end up annoyed. However, having a clear destination in mind gives you just enough stability that you can be creative without losing your way.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22– Dec 21)

You can talk your way out of nearly anything today, relying on your social graces to avoid conflict. Your charm and wit are working for you now in ways that surprise even you. You know what you want and are willing to ask for it. Still, you could miss a significant opportunity when it appears in your life if you aren’t receptive. Being more sensitive to others helps you recognize your own path to happiness.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

It may be challenging to stay motivated today because you can discover so many fun ways to keep your mind occupied that you end up avoiding your chores. Leaving a job undone is contrary to your basic nature, since you like to take care of business before you play. However, it’s time to try something different now by making pleasurable distractions your top priority for a change. The work will patiently wait for your return.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20– Feb 18)

You could be very happy today, even if there’s too much happening in your life. For example, you might agree to one too many tasks and now you must find a way out of your extra commitments. Nevertheless, mischievous Mercury tempts you into thinking there’s a viable shortcut you can take. However, the flirty Gemini Moon’s presence in your 5th House of Fun and Games indicates that you should be able to enjoy the company of others even if you still have a job to finish

 

Pisces Horoscopes

(Feb 19– Mar 20)

Your thoughts are moving so rapidly now that you may not be able to keep up with your own fantasies as they overflow into your reality. But even the most original ideas don’t bring you any closer to a viable solution, so it might be wise to keep the unfinished schemes to yourself for now. Even if it takes another week or so, allow plenty of time for your plans to solidify before sharing them with anyone else. Start by writing everything down that crosses your mind, and then you can make sense of it all later.

Daily Horoscopes for Monday, January 14th

We may grow weary of the high-strung mental energy that has us feeling on edge. Communicator Mercury forms disquieting aspects with judgmental Jupiter, stern Saturn and reckless Uranus, turning simple discussions into complicated battles for intellectual dominance. Fortunately, the Moon shifts into compassionate Pisces at 5:49 am EST to soften an otherwise anxious planetary landscape. Meanwhile, a Venus-Jupiter quincunx tempts us to overindulge.

 

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You might not be willing to trust your feelings today, since you can’t follow your thoughts to their logical conclusion. You are all for telling the truth, but there’s so much on your mind now that every nuance cannot be communicated. Hidden realities widen your perspective and teach you a lot about the real world. The more open you are to the realms of fantasy, the more you can imagine new vistas ahead.

 

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

You may be quite relaxed today for a back-to-work Monday since you have already given yourself permission to chill out with your friends. Although responsibilities still require your attention today, make time to restore your energy. Don’t be overly concerned if you leave a job unfinished for a while; treating yourself to a bit of pleasure now shifts your attitude in a positive direction.

 

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

Although you might not be eager to meet your obligations today, others may be relying on you more than you realize. Temporarily putting aside your long-term dreams enables you to interact fully in the present moment, but could also contribute to your angst now. No matter how uncertain you are about your future, your heartfelt efforts to communicate with your friends are greatly appreciated and will lift your spirits, too.

 

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

You may start the day feeling like an unhappy Crab that has been taken from its watery cave. However, as waves of familiar emotions wash through your life today, you’re reminded of how important it is to stay in touch with those you love. Don’t worry if you can’t explain your newly found confidence to anyone else; just continue about your business without trying to rationalize your behavior. Nevertheless, connecting with others is what matters most.

 

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Your current dissatisfaction with a relationship may increase today, for you might realize what you are missing. But the real problem goes even deeper than what someone else has to offer; it’s about your need for total engagement. Focus on what you can give to others instead of simply thinking about what you’re not receiving in return. Everyone wins if no one is keeping score.

 

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Someone who puts you in closer touch with your feelings may enter your life today, even if you don’t know what to do about your reaction. Until now, you were in a very analytical frame of mind, leaving little room for the confusion of irrational emotions. However, you might need to accept that logic won’t always bring you the satisfaction you seek. Your stress will dissipate if you can get out of your head and into your heart.

 

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You’re unsure of how to go about accomplishing your goals today, but don’t make excuses or procrastinate any longer. Instead of trying to create a plan, rely on your intuition to tell you what to do next. Although you may feel uncomfortable with this strategy, it just might produce the best results. However, don’t overreact; taking an extreme position won’t help you reach your destination any sooner.

 

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You may create more stress by trying to resolve the conflict between your current desires and a more logical approach to your needs. Thankfully, the tension should begin to settle down today without any specific action on your part. There are subtle shifts in the present circumstances now that can give you a glimpse of the smoother sailing ahead. But don’t needlessly rock the boat; just stay on course until the discord dissipates.

 

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your lack of commitment might present a problem for a family member or your partner today. It’s not that you’re avoiding an uncomfortable issue; it’s just that your priorities are different from everyone else’s and not based on their expectations. If you don’t want to be pinned down now, let others know how you’re feeling as soon as possible. A difficult situation can simply be avoided if you speak up right away.

 

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You’re trying to do the responsible thing today, but one distraction after another may prevent you from fulfilling your current obligations. Ultimately, it’s less about what others think than it is about your own self-judgment. Be easy on yourself now, for there will be time later to return to unfinished business or to reconsider where to go from here

 

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Instead of rushing into a new task, stop long enough to clarify your goals, assess your resources and make sure that traveling a different path is truly worth the effort. Even if you decide to build on what you have already started, don’t move ahead too fast. Fortunately, it will be much easier to succeed if you take the time to develop your strategy first.

 

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Although you might not feel fully prepared for what’s around the next corner, the Moon’s return to your sign indicates the beginning of a new emotional cycle. If you have left chores unfinished, unexpected events may force you to do what you should have already done. However, if your old business is completed, then opportunities may open up for you now. Just be sure that you honor your dreams when starting something new.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Saturday, January 12th

Rules aren’t strong enough to constrain our attractions today, so we should consider how much we’re willing to risk in order to get what we want. Our emotions are on edge as sensual Venus squares electric Uranus, buzzing our bodies with nervous energy. We are tempted to step beyond old limitations as unfulfilled desires pull on our dreams. Meanwhile, the Moon shifts into eclectic Aquarius at 4:01 am EST, reflecting our need for unique expression.

 

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You are wired with the anticipation of doing something daring today, even if others think you’re the epitome of stability. You may feel wild and crazy since your impulsive reactions are even stronger than usual. Nevertheless, you cannot act on every whim. Maintain a sense of responsibility to compensate for your current unconventional desires. Holding an outer posture of reliability enables you to continue chasing your dreams.

 

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

You might begin the day with simple goals, but complications mount as you head in one particular direction because of an irrepressible craving. You don’t want your satisfaction to be delayed as your key planet, Venus, is excited by unpredictable Uranus. Just be careful not to destabilize anything that has enduring importance on your rush toward temporary gratification.

 

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

It seems as if everyone wants to have a good time today and you certainly don’t want to be left out of the fun. You might think you can get away with a clever scheme in your quest for the next thrill, but you may be surprised how fast your mistakes can catch up with you now. Attend to your responsibilities early in the day so you can be free to explore your options for play later on.

 

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Your obligations may feel overwhelming today, but you could still find a way to avoid too much drudgery. Your evasive behavior isn’t necessarily an act of irresponsibility, especially if you are just setting your own personal boundaries. Remember, you don’t always have to take on other people’s worries just because they expect you to do so. Sometimes saying no to someone else is the healthiest expression of self-love.

 

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You may grow frustrated by thinking about how much fun you could have if you ditched your current obligations, jumped bail and declared yourself free. However, nearly anything you do today has immediate repercussions. Remember that it’s easier to contemplate the consequences of your actions before having to deal with a crisis of your own creation.

 

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

If there are issues in your love life that need to be brought out into the open, today may be your lucky day. Just be considerate and express your desires in a rational way that demonstrates your compassionate spirit rather than a selfish attitude. Sparks might fly, but everything should work out as long as you speak from the heart, maintain integrity and act in a kindly matter. The outcome could be more pleasing than you expect.

 

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Unconventional desires can land you in trouble today, but a bit of self-awareness helps you get through the day without too much drama. However, sidestepping an emotional scene proves difficult because unexpected circumstances might sneak up on you. Your attractions may fluctuate wildly before you understand what’s going on. Thankfully, it’s healthy to experience extreme feelings now as long as you avoid acting on any one of them as if it was the ultimate truth.

 

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

It’s hard to maintain your concentration on chores today because enticing social circumstances are very distracting. You don’t need to lose out on all the fun, but previous commitments prevent you from cutting loose as much as you wish. There’s no need to stress about the good times you might be missing since there will be chances for more frivolity soon enough. Instead, be happy wherever you are and with whatever you are doing while secretly planning your escape.

 

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You look like you have both feet planted on the ground, but your creative imagination may be soaring with the birds. Ironically, focusing on what’s happening in the present moment empowers you to let go and follow a stream of consciousness while still maintaining a solid connection with reality. Even if your work is a bit sloppy now, strive to be as original as possible. Thankfully, you will be able to tidy up the details later on.

 

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may not be able to resist your heart’s desire today. Although logical analysis leads you to the right answers, it might not be sufficient to keep you on the straight and narrow path now. It’s admirable to take the high road by transforming your physical needs into compassionate action. Perhaps self-restraint does lead to the most spiritual path, but keep in mind that you are human. Honoring your eccentricity is also an important part of your current path toward satisfaction.

 

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Amorous Venus squares edgy Uranus today, encouraging you to risk more in your quest for emotional fulfillment and physical satisfaction. You might believe that pursuing a sudden attraction will bring you lasting happiness. However, reckless behavior, at best, only leads to temporary pleasure. Sacrifice a little excitement now for the security of long-term stability.

 

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your mind is free to go anywhere today as your thoughts play out one possible scenario after another. But it may not be socially acceptable to express every whim. Nevertheless, it’s up to you to find the courage to bring your dreams into full consciousness. Fortunately, you don’t have to tell anyone about your fantasies, nor do you need to act them out now. Simply enjoy the movie in which you are the writer, the director and the star.

Your Weekend Love Horoscopes for January 11 – 13: Pushing Limits

Weekend Love Horoscopes

January 11 – 13: Pushing Limits

Jeff Jawer  Jeff Jawer on the topics of love, horoscopes, astrology

Making a plan and having a strong dose of self-discipline are keys to getting the weekend off to a good start. On Friday, the Sun and Moon join together in orderly Capricorn, where respect and competence are sexy.

This New Moon is great for taking on challenges, as long as you’re well prepared for them. Engaging in difficult activities can test a current alliance by making you learn to work together. And singles willing to push themselves to the limit are likely to earn attention, respect and even affection for their efforts. It’s important, though, to keep overly competitive behavior from getting in the way of intimacy.

A more cooperative and playful attitude is particularly desirable on Saturday, with a lunar shift into friendly Aquarius. Love planet Venus is restless with her square to rebellious Uranus that night. This electrifying aspect invites sudden attractions and rapid changes of moods that work best with an easygoing manner and experimental attitude.

Drop preconceived plans and rigid expectations to enjoy surprising connections and unexpected sources of joy. Resisting breaks in the schedule or changes to routine patterns with a partner takes the spice out of what promises to be an exceptionally stimulating night and a mellow laid-back Sunday to follow.

Your Daily Cosmic Calendar for January 12

Once the Moon leaves void status in Capricorn by entering the universal air sign of Aquarius (1:02AM PST), the cosmos appears to be clicking on all cylinders. An inspirational, 72-degree tie from the Sun to Saturn (1:23AM PST) puts you in the mood to learn from wise elders and mentors.  Group projects, team sports, community events and global causes close to your philosophy of life are in the hopper with the Moon in the eleventh sign of the zodiac, and forming a supportive, 60-degree tie with radical-change agent Uranus (9:10AM PST) and far-sighted Jupiter (12:12PM PST). Antique and collectible hunters can have a field day under these auspicious circumstances.  It doesn’t hurt that the Sun makes another inspirational, 72-degree liaison — this time to Uranus (5:11PM PST). Breakthroughs in higher consciousness are likely, and advanced studies in science, metaphysics and kindred subjects are promoted.  The main monkey wrench of the day becomes precise at 8:14PM PST when Venus in Capricorn squares off with Uranus in Aries. Many hours before and several hours after, you may still be contending with this potential turmoil in affairs of the heart. The Venus-Uranus 90-degree aspect can also equate with rising tensions on the business, social and creative artistic fronts. Use kid gloves in handling delicate matters at home or with relatives on the skids.
