As mentioned in yesterday’s calendar entry, it is wise to curtail decision-making in the early going today as a lingering void lunar cycle in Scorpio (until 5:23AM) combines with a potentially surprising-shocking 150-degree tie between Mercury and Uranus (12:12AM). It is better to rest, sleep or take a time-out than to pursue objectives without considering the consequences. In general, when a void lunar uncertainty zone occurs with one or more highly-charged and difficult celestial alignments, it is wise to refrain from taking forceful actions that are more likely to fail than succeed. The good news this morning starts arriving once the Moon enters ebullient, fiery Sagittarius (5:23AM) and then unites with Venus (6:57AM). Utilize this lunar rapport with Venus to spring forward with artistic and social ventures. Erotic, romantic vibrations are also on the upswing. However, 5+ hours after the Moon-Venus rendezvous in the heavens, a very different alignment takes center stage when Mercury unites with Saturn in Scorpio (12:40PM). There is always a serious component to any Mercury-Saturn merger and this conjunction will repeat on October 29 and November 25 due to the upcoming Mercury retrograde cycle occurring from October 21 to November 10. Mercury with Saturn — while sometimes veering toward pessimism and worry — can provide genius on the professional front and especially regarding understanding mathematics and physics. [Albert Einstein was born with an exact Mercury-Saturn union in pioneering Aries.] Look for breakthroughs in higher consciousness and the arrival of intuitive flashes of insight as the Moon trines Uranus (10:56PM). [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Daylight 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 Monday, October 7th
Often we can use logic to understand what’s happening, but today our hearts override our heads as the passionate Scorpio Moon intensifies our feelings. Nevertheless, our desires grow less obsessive as sweet Venus enters philosophical Sagittarius. Meanwhile, an unsettling alignment between physical Mars and electric Uranus has us on edge. We want to believe that our thoughts can dominate our emotions, but experience reminds us that they do not.
Aries Horoscope
(Mar 21 – Apr 19)
It’s hard to hide your feelings today, especially if you’re experiencing jealousy now that the possessive Scorpio Moon is visiting your 8th House of Intimacy. You might try to keep everything light and easy, but others aren’t necessarily playing by the same rules. You don’t know whether to heat things up by expressing your feelings or to cool off by withdrawing until you can regain your equilibrium. Take a step back; the intensity settles later in the day, allowing you to address the issue in a calm and collected manner.
Taurus Horoscope
(Apr 20 – May 20)
You may not understand why someone needs to be so intense today. Nevertheless, a close friend or colleague might appear to be unable to let go of an unnecessary drama. You find it annoying and frustrating if you attempt to use reason to settle down the energy. Your discomfort becomes less problematic when you finally realize that you don’t have to empathize with everyone around you. All you need to do is be present and listen; sometimes offering a supportive shoulder is enough.
Gemini Horoscope
(May 21 – Jun 20)
A case of irritability could get the best of your morning, but the emotional skies begin to clear this afternoon. Your restlessness is magnified by so many planets dragging you into the deep waters of Scorpio and drawing you into personal issues that you would rather avoid. Instead of wasting your energy resisting the currents, it’s safer now to go with the flow when Venus shifts into inspirational Sagittarius today. Rather than lingering in the past, start looking forward to the possibilities ahead.
Cancer Horoscope
(Jun 21 – Jul 22)
You’re comforted by the change of dynamics today as someone close to you acknowledges your feelings and supports you in an unexpected manner. However, the more you talk, the more you might realize that your goals aren’t in alignment. Keep in mind that you may be a bit oversensitive now, so don’t judge others too quickly just because their assumptions are different from yours. Diversity is healthy because it fosters a more creative approach.
Leo Horoscope
(Jul 23 – Aug 22)
You may be feeling the need to retreat as your thoughts pull you into the shadows of your inner world. Exploring the hidden realms of your imagination could be quite productive, but others might be worried about you and attempt to lure you back out into the sunshine. Remember, it’s not necessary to live up to someone else’s expectations now. The most important thing is to learn what you can from your visit to the dark side so you’re ready for the next round of progress.
Virgo Horoscope
(Aug 23 – Sep 22)
You feel more secure when you have useful information at your disposal, but being overwhelmed with unnecessary data only fills your head with noise. Unfortunately, you may be caught in a complex swirl of emotions these days, making it difficult to ascertain what to do next. It might feel like an exercise in futility if you can’t immediately apply the lessons you are learning. Practicing patience is your smartest strategy now; integrate your current experiences before swinging into action for the best results.
Libra Horoscope
(Sep 23 – Oct 22)
You’re feeling quite attached to your possessions these days with so much planetary action packed into your 2nd House of Resources. You might even appear to have more than you actually do because you’re willing to get along with less. But feeling good about yourself encourages you to also feel more positive about your finances. Don’t delude yourself and spend more than you should since banking on future income could create trouble. A more realistic approach leads to a richer tomorrow.
Scorpio Horoscope
(Oct 23 – Nov 21)
Your persuasive powers are hard to resist now; it’s as if you can put a spell on someone you love or convince people to see a situation from your perspective. However, there is more going on than meets the eye, so refrain from using your charms for anything other than the common good of all. Controlling anyone for a selfish reason is likely to backfire quicker than you think. Happily, an altruistic attitude sets the stage for success that exceeds your expectations.
Sagittarius Horoscope
(Nov 22 – Dec 21)
Your intuition is telling you that sunny days are on the horizon. But you may appear smug today if you truly believe you know something that others don’t. Rather than explaining your point of view, you’re tempted to bask in the light of the superiority of your privileged perspective. Don’t take advantage of your current position because it won’t last forever. As soon as everyone else catches on and recognizes the potential, the playing field will be even again. Sharing the good news right away cultivates a lovely spirit of generosity.
Capricorn Horoscope
(Dec 22 – Jan 19)
Playing nicely with your friends and family is easy today because you’re able to cut through the noise and be fully present in your personal interactions. It’s not that you forget about more serious issues, but you are tempted to place your ambitions on hold while you deepen your most important social relationships. Don’t waste energy doubting your sentimental approach; you can always put your professional aspirations back on the front burner next week.
Aquarius Horoscope
(Jan 20 – Feb 18)
Being appreciated for your contributions at work is a real boost to your confidence today, especially if the current recognition is from people you respect in return. But you might be concerned that someone isn’t being totally genuine and their actions aren’t only about you. Even if political complexities exist that could justify someone’s ulterior motives, don’t let your fears prevent you from enjoying the attention in the present moment.
Pisces Horoscope
(Feb 19 – Mar 20)
This is a great time to discuss your plans with others to get their reactions, especially if you have been considering a long vacation or even a quick getaway. Fortunately, with so much action occurring in your 9th House of Travel, you will likely receive the approval you want. Don’t hold back; dream big and share your aspirations. You may be happily surprised at the response. Pack your bags and go before anyone changes their mind.
Your Love Horoscopes for the Week of October 7th
Your heart may fill with wanderlust this week, thanks to love planet Venus moving into adventurous Sagittarius on Monday. You’ll be more inclined to take a leap of faith when it comes to romance now until November 5. Be careful, however, not to jump to fast into anything because your unguarded optimism might lead to disappointment. Venus will crash into Neptune on Thursday, creating an atmosphere that could leave you feeling blindsided, thanks to an open, over-trusting heart.
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
Sharing love with a like-minded soul will be especially important to you this week. Love planet Venus enters your 9th House of Intellectual and Spiritual Expansion on Monday. Until November 5, you and your mate will search for the greater meaning of life together — possibly through travel or study. On Tuesday, it might be difficult to communicate about an intimate matter, and if you feel pushed into a corner you’re likely to respond by shutting down altogether. Living in a romantic bubble of denial? On Thursday it might burst.
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)
It’ll be easier for you to reveal your erotic side to your partner this week, thanks to Venus moving into your 8th House of Intimacy on Monday. You’ll be more willing to open up to your lover, body and soul, now until November 5. This trend might help nurture your relationship, however, a sober conversation or decision you need to make on Tuesday about the direction of your partnership may tempt you to put the walls right back up. With love these days, it’s one step forward, two steps back.
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)
Expect greater relationship harmony starting on Monday and lasting until November 5. Venus will move through your 7th House of Partnerships, allowing you and your mate to see the best in one another. If you’re in a happy place with someone you’ve recently started to date, this cycle may lead you toward a greater commitment, such as an exclusive relationship, or even a possible engagement. On Thursday, you might feel as if your ideal partnership falls from its pedestal of perfection. This is not necessarily a bad thing — it’ll remind you that your relationship is real and not storybook fodder.
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)
An office romance may soon heat up. While it might feel as if you’ve finally found someone to love, the quagmire about mixing business with pleasure may also have a chokehold on you. On Tuesday, you and your paramour may decide whether or not you’re ready to risk the potential fallout from exploring a relationship together. If you’re already in a relationship, it’s possible your mate will receive disappointing news about a work situation. Take heart — it’s temporary.
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)
Love is in the air! Venus will move into your 5th House of Romance on Monday, and from then until November 5 you’ll enjoy magnificent potential to attract a new love interest your way. If you’re attached, it’s possible this energy will lead you and your mate to consider starting a family in the near future. One caveat this week: Keep love and money as separate as possible on Thursday. Venus will square off with Neptune, and you’re not likely to see Venusian ruled matters clearly.
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
Domestic and romantic harmony will go hand-in-hand this week. You and your partner might decide to move forward on a home decorating project, and if so you’re likely to share similar champagne tastes. Whether or not your budget can afford such extravagances, try to remain realistic as you move forward making these home improvements. On Thursday, you might feel a twinge of disappointment when it comes to your relationship and how it affects your family dynamic. Don’t fret, bliss will return by the weekend.
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
Expect communication between you and your mate to improve dramatically this week. Venus, the planet of love and harmony, will enter your 3rd House of Information on Monday, where she will remain until November 5. Not only will this improve your ability to speak from the heart, but you’ll also find that it’s easier to compromise if there’s a vital decision you and your love need to make together. On Thursday, you might discover that someone has a crush on you at the office. If so, you’ll feel flattered and confused. Now what?
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
As Venus enters your 2nd House of Money on Monday, you’ll notice a definite improvement in your financial situation, but there will be another, more subtle bonus you can certainly take to the bank. This has to do with your confidence and feelings of validation. Your partner will have a stronger ability to make you feel like a million bucks. Maybe you’re just more receptive to his or her compliments now, or maybe you’re actually getting the praise you’ve been missing out on for quite some time. Either way, soak it all in.
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
You’re beautiful and you know it! On Monday, Venus will enter Sagittarius, and until November 5 there’s no denying that you’re the fairest of them all. Use your powers of attraction wisely and you’ll have the potential to kiss a prince or princess. On Thursday, however, you may also discover that you’ve kissed a frog. A relative might try to warn you that you’re falling for the wrong one, but you’re not likely to listen. Think twice. Love is blind, but thankfully your family isn’t.
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
Romantic matters are likely to take a more private turn for you this week. Perhaps you just feel a stronger urge to take time away from the noise of your love life in order to consider the direction your relationship is heading. Or it’s possible you’ll need time to grieve a love that was lost — or one that was never reciprocated. Either way, be gentle with yourself and allow the feelings you’ve tried to keep buried to surface. That’s the only way to heal.
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
Friendship is a prerequisite to love in your eyes, and this week that will become even more of a requirement. Thankfully, you’ll feel especially connected to someone you’re already partnered up with. In fact, you may discover that exploring a mutual interest together adds extra sparks to your love fest. Consider joining a new club or pursuing a mutual aspiration together. If single, you might meet someone new on the Internet or through a friend’s introduction. The affinity you feel will be uncanny. Love is grand, but when your lover is also your BFF you’ve got it made.
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
When it comes to love, you might feel a stronger urge to be with someone you can respect and admire. Venus will enter your 10th House of Status on Monday, and you’ll be more conscious of this desire until November 5. It’s natural to want to be with someone who elevates you, however, on Thursday, if you discover your sweetheart isn’t all he or she appears to be, you may decide to end things. If you remain in an unhealthy relationship because of appearances, you’re in for a rude awakening. The only person you’ll fool is yourself.
Daily Cosmic Calendar for October 7th
Take advantage of a day which is more favorable than discordant. Giving you a strong upward-and-onward type of boost is the Moon in Scorpio forming a harmonious trine of 120-degrees with Jupiter in Cancer (10:34AM). The several hours just before this aspect is exact are filled with optimistic, hopeful and auspicious vibrations. This is reinforced as Venus enters the Jupiter-ruled sign of Sagittarius (10:55AM) — an upbeat, goal-oriented cycle that lasts until November 5. A main challenging alignment of the day clocks in just a few minutes after Venus enters Sagittarius as Mars makes a frictional, 135-degree tie with Uranus (11:03AM). All hard and intense aspects between the red planet and the revolutionary planet can lead to explosive, unpredictable happenings. Plus, this Mars-Uranus association can stay influential for much of the day. Therefore, risk-taking and acting without careful forethought are off-limits. Thankfully, the fields of holistic healing and alternative medicine are positively activated via a Mercury trine to Chiron (3:08PM). Raise your productivity I.Q. in your main areas of expertise as Venus forms an inspirational, 72-degree contact with Ceres (8:38PM). This link-up doubles as an encouragement for making helpful changes to your dietary and nutritional needs. Slow your tempo later on when the Moon squares Mars (9:55PM) — starting a void lunar uncertainty zone that lasts until 5:23AM tomorrow. Keep overnight decision-making to the bare minimum as Mercury is also approaching an off-kilter, 150-degree link to its higher-guardian planet Uranus (forming exactly at 12:12AM on Tuesday). [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Daylight 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 Horoscopes for Wednesday, October 2nd
Issues of the heart may require less logic and more intensity now that passionate Pluto and magnetic Venus drive our desires to the surface. Even the sensible Virgo Moon won’t offer much help since she forms a trine with relentless Pluto. Seeking balance is wise as the nights grow longer, but our emotional needs deepen, making equilibrium more elusive. Meanwhile, a verbally assertive Mercury-Mars aspect complicates communication with tough talk.
Aries Horoscope
(Mar 21 – Apr 19)
Anyone who gets in your way today could be in for a big surprise when you arrive dressed for battle. The bottom line is that you’re in no mood to deal with someone else’s arbitrary judgments. Although your feelings are very strong now, there’s little need to worry about any resistance you currently face. Be true to yourself; instead of looking for a fight, just keep pushing your best ideas ahead, one step at a time
Taurus Horoscope
(Apr 20 – May 20)
Feelings of sweet love may temporarily transform into an intense meltdown today as your key planet Venus creates an anxious aspect with dark Pluto. Although your desires are slightly obsessive now, you’re able to avoid trouble, even if you set your common sense aside to attain the pleasure you want. There’s nothing wrong with a little indulgent behavior as long as you don’t lose your moral compass.
Gemini Horoscope
(May 21 – Jun 20)
You might make a number of attempts to tell someone your story now, but it can be frustrating when others don’t seem to care about the same things that are significant to you. Nevertheless, don’t waste your time and energy worrying about the possibility of being hurt by rejection. There’s really no place for negative thinking in your life. You’re better off if you focus your positive thoughts on the journey ahead.
Cancer Horoscope
(Jun 21 – Jul 22)
Making choices about your personal life is a challenge today because there seems to be a wide array of appealing possibilities until you examine them more closely. However, it isn’t smart to put off any decisions that could help you realize your potential. Thankfully, you have powerful friends that are eager to support your ambitions now, so don’t be afraid to ask for their assistance. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
Leo Horoscope
(Jul 23 – Aug 22)
You don’t want to let go of a recent experience just yet, and you may try every trick in the book to extend your playful feelings into the workday. But don’t worry about missing out on a little fun if you have more important things to do today. Instead, think about the positive impact you can have on others if you jump in now and show them the way. Your I-can-do-it attitude is contagious so spread it around.
Virgo Horoscope
(Aug 23 – Sep 22)
You may not be willing to give an inch today, especially if someone is questioning your ability to handle a situation while suggesting an alternative plan. Be careful, since this current predicament isn’t about right versus wrong. Everyone can be correct, for there are many ways to reach the same goal. Remember, progressing according to your strategy keeps your heart in the game while enabling you to remain passionately committed to the greater cause.
Libra Horoscope
(Sep 23 – Oct 22)
Your light and easy thoughts of love are interwoven into a more complex web of attachments as dark Pluto gives your key planet Venus something mysterious to ponder today. You might prefer to remain detached from your feelings by having fun with someone else. Unfortunately, you can’t outrun the work you must do to sort out your relationships. Stop focusing on dreams that are just out of reach so you can appreciate what’s right in front of you.
Scorpio Horoscope
(Oct 23 – Nov 21)
You must tread very carefully and watch your step now because you are more impulsive than usual. It’s tough to filter out any anger if your emotions suddenly surface because you still haven’t had enough time to process them. However, blocking your feelings won’t help your cause in the long run. Go ahead and share what’s on your mind, but try not to inflame an already sensitive situation. A little compassion goes a long way.
Sagittarius Horoscope
(Nov 22 – Dec 21)
Make time for some physical activity today because keeping your energy in motion is crucial to preventing you from becoming a couch potato. However, you want to do everything just right now that the Moon is visiting perfectionist Virgo. The downside is that you might get so hung up in the details that you can’t move forward with confidence. Don’t worry about every little thought that enters your mind. Tackling one small task at a time is the best way to maximize your productivity.
Capricorn Horoscope
(Dec 22 – Jan 19)
You have lots to share now and you shouldn’t let anything or anyone stand in the way of expressing your truth. Don’t restrain the power of your words because persuasive Pluto harmonizes with captivating Venus in your 11th House of Goals. But it’s not about what you say today; it’s more how you say it. Keep in mind that you can be both ambitious and kind in your drive for success.
Aquarius Horoscope
(Jan 20 – Feb 18)
Your overall situation is growing brighter day by day, but there are still a few loose ends that must be tied up before you can move on to the next chapter of your life. However, the rate of change could pick up speed over the next few weeks, so make a commitment to concentrate on the present moment and not on the future. It’s wonderful to be spontaneous, but in your haste don’t let any unfinished tasks slip by unattended. Sometimes you have to give up a little freedom to reach your full potential.
Pisces Horoscope
(Feb 19 – Mar 20)
Love isn’t always simple and today you have an opportunity to experience a more complicated kind of pleasure. Beautiful Venus usually adds sweetness and grace to your life but an uneasy aspect from shadowy Pluto offers up sensual delights from the hidden recesses of your subconscious mind. No matter what, don’t let fear stand in your way of a meaningful experience. Open your heart and let love in.
Daily Cosmic Calendar for Monday, Sept. 30th
After two rousing days over the weekend, the cosmos appears to be letting down its guard a little on the last day of the month. Instead, of foisting on humanity tumultuous happenings via planetary alignments at cross purposes, there is a lighter touch in the early going as Venus in Scorpio forms an inspirational, 72-degree contact with Juno in Aquarius (6:03AM). You may recall that only 16 days ago, these two celestial bodies squared off in a 90-degree clash. Now they are working together in tandem — to facilitate feminine interests, reinforce creative artistic expression, and improve the quality of primary partnerships. A little over nine hours later, ingenious ideas are inundating the brightest minds in the human kingdom via a harmonious trine in fire signs between Pallas in Leo and Uranus in Aries (3:22PM). If you ever wanted to sign up for an advanced course in problem-solving and strategic-thinking, this is the right moment. However, just when it seems the universal powder keg appears to be dry or empty, along comes the monthly Moon-Mars conjunction in Leo (7:04PM) — repeating the same union in Leo that happened between these two celestial bodies on the first day of September. While the lunar orb merging with the red planet can equate with acts of faith, courage, stamina or heroism, it is just as likely to push some individuals toward reckless behavior, angry encounters with dear ones, and irrational displays of temper. Knowing the shadow side involved in this sky pattern can help you defuse volatile conditions before they heat up toward a firestorm. The month ends in questionable fashion as the Moon squares Venus (9:49PM) — beginning a void lunar uncertainty zone that lasts until 11:53AM tomorrow when the Moon enters Virgo. Be sensitive and kindhearted to family members on the ropes overnight. Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Daylight 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 Sunday, September 29th
The cosmos is exceedingly busy right now as the Moon in Cancer squares off with Mercury in Libra (12:31AM) — starting a very brief void lunar cycle that ends at 12:58AM when the Moon enters Leo. The Moon in the fifth sign of the zodiac helps you retain the innocence of childhood, and points you in the direction of fun and games as ways to spend this last Sunday in September. However, some psychic storm clouds gather as Pallas squares Saturn (3:41AM) while Mercury enters Scorpio (4:39AM) for an extended stay — until December 4 — due to Mercury’s eventual three-week retrograde cycle from October 21 to November 10. Rest, sleep or take a good-sized time-out from work or chores to avoid mental or physical exhaustion. A quartet of favorable alignments can bolster your spirits as Venus makes an inspirational, 72-degree tie with Vesta (7:48AM), Vesta trines Pluto (11:15AM), the Sun parallels Chiron (11:46AM), and the Moon makes a supportive, 60-degree contact with the Sun (2:44PM). Thus, for many hours today, tuning into your investment and healing needs makes total sense. The monthly Moon-Pallas union in Leo (9:21PM) is also a tremendous gift as it can assist you as a superb problem-solver and strategist. Just 29 minutes later, Pallas forms a 150-degree connection with Chiron (9:50PM). With some adjustment of your thoughts and attitudes, this somewhat off-kilter sky pattern can amplify your skills as a problem-solver, mentor, and agent for higher levels of healing. Venus parallel to Pluto (10:28PM) functions either as a warning to be extra careful in romance and business affairs or to engage in these areas with enthusiasm. However, if you choose the latter path, keep aware that Venus in touch with underworld-ruling Pluto may carry hidden, invisible forces that can eventually be more discordant than enhancing. Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Daylight 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 Wednesday, Sept. 25th
We may feel restless today yet we can’t isolate the cause of our emotional unease. We want to have a variety of choices and resist settling on any single option now that the Moon is visiting changeable Gemini. Meanwhile, romantic Venus forms a creative aspect with weird Uranus, luring our desires out of the traditional box. Nevertheless, it’s nearly impossible to know what’s real because the Sun aspects otherworldly Neptune later this evening.
Aries Horoscope
(Mar 21 – Apr 19)
Although the dynamics between you and a close friend may be out of kilter, you can still talk yourself into thinking that everything’s just fine. Don’t lose track of your priorities if social pressures begin to unravel your plans. Focusing on what you need to do for your job is smarter than having to clean up a mess because you were distracted by personal relationship issues. Establishing clear priorities early in the day helps you avoid a crisis later on. Simply acknowledging another person’s feelings may be enough alleviate the tension.
Taurus Horoscope
(Apr 20 – May 20)
You might believe that you’re simply pursuing love today, but you could still get more than you bargain for if you’re too eager in your approach. Your key planet Venus is visiting your 7th House of Partners and her connection with rebellious Uranus pulls you into a complicated entanglement. You can’t trust your intuition now because you’re overly attached to your dreams. Thankfully, you can make a good decision by sticking to the facts when deciding your next move.
Gemini Horoscope
(May 21 – Jun 20)
Satisfaction is elusive now because the Moon’s current visit to your sign might tempt you to find other pastures that look greener than yours. Nevertheless, you are committed to meeting your obligations today so you won’t likely escape on a whim. Appreciate the present moment and try to be grateful for whatever you have. Taking a mature approach to relationships could be enough to put your day back on track and calm your restless heart.
Cancer Horoscope
(Jun 21 – Jul 22)
If a friend or associate pushes back against your ideas today, you may be tempted to retreat emotionally. Even if you are secure in the relationship, your fear of rejection could motivate you to avoid the discussion entirely. You believe it’s easier to ignore your gut than to express whatever is in your heart — but it’s not. To the contrary, it’s healthier to share your concerns openly and allow the other person a chance to respond. You might be pleasantly surprised if you’re willing to take a risk.
Leo Horoscope
(Jul 23 – Aug 22)
Feeling a bit insecure today can lead to tricky relationship dynamics, especially if you believe that one of your friends or associates hasn’t been honest with you. In fact, people could be trying to make something appear better than it really is. Normally, you would be too clever for anyone to get away with misleading you, but now it’s also possible for your fears — rather than someone else’s actions — to amplify your anxiety. Double check the facts before jumping to any false conclusions.
Virgo Horoscope
(Aug 23 – Sep 22)
You might not know how to make sense out of your feelings today because you are temporarily losing your ability to remain logical while analyzing your options. Even if you try to separate fact from fiction, you’re more likely to accept whatever you are told now, setting you up for later disappointment. Keep in mind that choices colored by your subjective preferences will probably lead you astray. Paring back your options simplifies the decision-making process.
Libra Horoscope
(Sep 23 – Oct 22)
Your vivid imagination is working overtime today and you’re preoccupied by a fantasy instead of what’s actually going on. You are being pulled in two different directions now, so you must be careful about choosing dreams over reality. Confusion about your own needs can lead to an unwise choice, so put off important decisions for a day or two until your clarity returns. In the meantime, practicing meditation helps you get in touch with your higher self.
Scorpio Horoscope
(Oct 23 – Nov 21)
Trying to recall a childhood experience is perplexing today because you might not be able to remember enough of the facts to know if it truly occurred or not. Either way, you realize now that there probably is another side to the story that you haven’t thought about. Take plenty of time and fill in the details. However, your desire for the truth may turn into an obsession, so it’s wise to know when to bring your thoughts back to the present and stop trying to rewrite your past.
Sagittarius Horoscope
(Nov 22 – Dec 21)
Taking charge at home or in your community is where you shine today, but your assumption of authority could also create an awkward situation. Although you think you know what’s best for everyone else, people might disagree with your current strategy. Unfortunately, your sound logic won’t help to convince anyone that you are right. You may have to just let your friends and associates go off on their own to discover what’s true by themselves. Don’t let others rain on your parade.
Capricorn Horoscope
(Dec 22 – Jan 19)
You may be distracted now even if you’re usually quite astute when dealing with financial matters. If you see something that you immediately want to buy, it’s best to wait a few days before actually finalizing the purchase. Although you might believe that you deserve a reward for all of your hard work, impulsive spending isn’t a smart idea. Giving yourself the gift of personal time could make the payoff even better than you expect.
Aquarius Horoscope
(Jan 20 – Feb 18)
You’re confident that you’re being absolutely clear about your romantic intentions today, yet someone can totally misunderstand what you’re saying. Complications may arise if your repressed feelings are strong enough to color how you deliver your message. Keep asking for feedback along the way to ensure that your words convey exactly what you mean. Let your heart speak for itself.
Pisces Horoscope
(Feb 19 – Mar 20)
Your eagerness leads you to anticipate what someone wants from you now, but too much analysis can get in the way. Unfortunately, you’re likely to jump to the wrong conclusions without checking out your assumptions. Don’t stress if you have trouble meeting other people’s expectations today, since they probably have unrealistic hopes, anyway. Instead of worrying about anyone else, just do the best work you can and then move on. Believe in yourself; there’s no need to compromise when it comes to your integrity.
Your Love Horoscopes for the Week of Sept. 23rd
Romantic matters may run from hot to cold this week, thanks to two very different cycles at play. First, Venus will be at a gorgeous trine to Jupiter on Thursday, allowing love to flow in the most open, sensitive way. Flattery and lavish gifts might be par for the course! If you’re planning to wine and dine anyone, Thursday will certainly be the day to do it! By the weekend, however, love becomes rocky as Venus and Mars lock horns in a testy square. Pride and power struggles take over and sweet sentiments might be lost amidst a clash of egos. Pick your battles and remember: Every rose has its thorn.
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
You might work so hard talking up your lover to relatives this week that you fail to take an honest look at any holes in your relationship. On Thursday, you’ll certainly see the best in your mate. You might even talk about sharing household expenses or purchasing a home together down the road if you don’t already live together. On Saturday, however, all of your idealism may go out the window when you’re likely to become frustrated with the way in which your lover handles finances. There could be a stalemate.
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)
With Venus in your 7th House of Intimate Partnerships until October 7, you have a special focus on love that will attract greater harmony and personal happiness. You’ll notice this trend on Thursday, when Venus will embrace Jupiter, the planet of abundance, now in your 3rd House of Communication. Expressing your love and devotion to someone close has never been easier. Remember your heartfelt words, however, because by Saturday you might experience a test. Venus will rub elbows with Mars in your 4th House of Home and Family Life. A domestic squabble may put a damper on romance.
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)
This week you may find it easy to wear your heart on your sleeve. The Moon will be in Gemini and your 1st House of Identity on Tuesday and Wednesday. This cosmic lineup will allow you to express emotions easily — which may bring a welcome change of pace to your usual style of logic first. On Thursday, Venus will be at a brilliant trine to Jupiter, helping to weave a magnetic spell between you and someone at the office. Will you succumb? Or will you try to ignore those butterflies in your stomach?
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)
Romance seems to flow effortlessly for you these days. With Venus in your 5th House of True Love until October 7, you certainly have an edge when it comes to attracting someone your way. On Thursday, you may feel as if you’ve won the cosmic jackpot of love. Venus will be at a perfect trine to Jupiter, now in your sign. Delicious, sentimental, emotionally available amour will be yours for the taking. Whipped cream optional. On Saturday, however, a wrinkle in your romantic bliss might come up if you lose sight of a financial obligation in order to spend big and impress your lover. Think twice.
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)
With Venus in your 4th House of Home and Family Life, you’re more interested in making sure your lover fits in with your security needs these days. This might mean nesting at home together quietly, or it might have more to do with testing the waters to ensure that your sweetheart fits in with your clan. If he or she does, you’ll be golden; but if there’s any conflict, you might feel stuck in the middle. Ask yourself: Who defines your true state of security? Regardless of your relationship status, that power should belong to no one else but you.
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
Whether you’re single or attached, your social life may be the key to romantic happiness this week. On Thursday, Venus, in your 3rd House of Communication, will be at a perfect trine to Jupiter, in your 11th House of Social Networking. You might enjoy a group activity, party or other event with your lover. You may also join a few friends at a social gathering and meet someone who stimulates your mind and heart! On Saturday, remain cautious with the words you choose. An acerbic remark to someone close might sting far more than intended.
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
Your self-worth is tied to partnership under ordinary circumstances, but this week you may feel as if this is especially true. On Saturday, Venus, now in your 2nd House of Possessions, will be at a tense square to Mars, the ruler of your partnership sector. You might feel as if your partner doesn’t value you as much as they should, and if so this might lead to an angry confrontation. Alternatively, you may try to sweep your feelings under the rug in an attempt to avoid conflict. That approach will only backfire.
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
With Venus still moving through your 1st House of Self until October 7, you’ll continue to enjoy a certain kind of sex appeal. On Thursday, you may find that you attract someone your way who is from a background quite unlike your own. This may be cultural, religious or educational. Regardless, you’ll feel enamored because of the differences. On Saturday, as Venus squares off with Mars, you might feel frustrated over having to choose between having fun versus taking care of a professional obligation. Do the right thing.
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
This will be an ideal week to carve out time for yourself in order to consider a decision in your personal life. On Thursday, Venus, now in your 12th House of Privacy, will be at a perfect angle to Jupiter, your ruler. You’ll find a way to untangle romantic knots before you get caught up in them. Will you take your own advice? The test will be on Saturday, as Venus and Mars square off. Don’t be your own worst enemy when it comes to love. If things get sticky, hold on to your moral high ground.
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
The week may start out looking bright when it comes to blending your social and romantic life. However, you’ll want to remain cautious by the weekend. On Thursday, Venus and Jupiter will be at a friendly angle, allowing your partner to be generous and gracious in the company of your pals. On Saturday, though, there will be a swift change as Venus squares off with Mars in your 8th House of Shared Resources. A friend might overstep his or her boundaries and meddle in your finances. Your partner will not be pleased.
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
This week — especially on Tuesday and Wednesday — your emotional focus will certainly be on romance. That’s because the Moon will be in your 5th House of True Love, encouraging you to seek pleasure and joy with someone special. But things may get dicey on Saturday if you’re in a relationship. You’ll want to impress the boss with your work on a project, so you might decide to bring work home for the weekend. Instead of receiving support from your mate, however, you’re more likely to get an attitude.
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
On Thursday, you and your lover may decide to book that exotic vacation you’ve been talking about taking together. There will be plenty of romantic energy and wanderlust in the air for you, thanks to the Moon moving through your 5th House from Thursday afternoon through Saturday. In addition, Venus — now in your 9th House of Long Distance Travel — will be at a magnificent trine to Jupiter, now in your 5th House of True Love. Don’t allow a hiccup with your work schedule dampen your mood on Saturday. Make plans — and stick with them!
Daily Cosmic Calendar for September 20th
Stop, look and listen! Yesterday’s Full Moon and Mercury-Jupiter square-off may be behind you, but they still carry a psychic punch today. The 48 hours after a Full Moon are a time-period for distribution of the illuminating solar-lunar vibrations just received. What may put you into a temporary blissful state of mind and heart is a comforting, 60-degree rapport from Venus to Ceres (1:03AM). However, excitement and intensity reign supreme due to the monthly Moon-Uranus union in Aries (5:21AM), Venus forming a flowing trine to Chiron in water signs (5:58AM), and — above all — Pluto leaving retrograde motion behind at 9 degrees of Capricorn as it stations to turn forward (8:30AM). [Pluto will remain in direct motion until April 14, 2014 when it will once again reverse itself in the zodiac at 14 degrees of Capricorn.] Throughout this entire 24-hour time-period, stay alert to the following Pluto themes — death-and-rebirth; mysteries and secrets; regeneration; metamorphosis; spiritual willpower and mental concentration; catharsis; hypnosis; reincarnation; repressed emotions; extremes of any kind; the underworld; corruption; manipulation and controlling behavior patterns; hidden agendas; phobias. Adding to the strange twists and turns of fate are Ceres in opposition to synchronicity-ruling Chiron (12:46PM), Venus forming an off-kilter, 150-degree link to shock-master Uranus (1:54PM), and Mercury making an abrasive, 135-degree tie with hazy Neptune (5:08PM). If that isn’t enough cosmic tomfoolery for you, make space for a long void lunar cycle starting at 6:26PM and lasting until 3:34PM tomorrow as well as a 60-degree and yet weighty liaison from Saturn in Scorpio to Pluto in Capricorn (10:46PM). If you are not careful, this could become one of those days when the unknown is completely running the show and you are a mere pawn on the chessboard of life. Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Daylight 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 Hot, Hot, Hot Fall Love Horoscopes for 2013
Fall Love Horoscopes 2013
As the temperature drops, your love life could heat up…
Maria DeSimone on the topics of astrology, venus, mars, love, horoscopes, fall equinoxAutumn is coming and you’re probably craving long, cozy walks with your sweetheart. Preferably in the early evening — just when it gets cool enough for the two of you to have another excuse to snuggle in tight. Whether you’re flying solo and dreaming of romance or, if you’ve already got your hands full with someone you love, this fall there’s certainly enough Astrology happening to offer something for everyone. Between eclipse season, another Mercury Retrograde and a fascinating trend with the love planet Venus starting in November, you simply must be “in the know” about what the stars have in store for you … and your heart this fall! Read on to learn how hot your fall is really going to get!
Aries (March 21 – April 19)
This fall, you will certainly have a focus on partnership. It all begins on October 18 when a Lunar Eclipse falls in your sign offering you significant emotional fulfillment, or illumination about a personal relationship. You might feel as if you’ve found your spiritual equal if you’re newly dating someone thanks to a gorgeous trine between Venus in Sagittarius to Uranus in Aries just a couple days earlier on October 16. By December 7, your ruling planet, Mars, will enter your 7th House of Partnership for an unusual, extended visit. In fact, once we get to 2014, he’ll turn retrograde and then your relationship rehab will begin in earnest! During the last days of fall however, you and your mate might find that you’re quarreling more than usual. Ask yourself if you’re stirring up the pot just to keep things interesting or if there’s really a deeper issue at hand. Be honest with yourself.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
You are about to enter one of the most glorious, pleasurable cycles possible for love and sex, Taurus. Are you ready? Mars, the planet that rules your libido, will enter your 5th House of Romance and Play on October 15 where he’ll remain until December 7. This once-in-two-year-cycle will offer you an opportunity to frolic around — or fool around — with someone special. Enjoy more date nights and entertainment — you deserve it! A notable Solar Eclipse will fall in your 7th House of Partnership on November 3 and for those of you attached Taureans who feel stuck in a stale relationship, there might be an opportunity for a new start.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
This time around, Mercury Retrograde will only affect your love life if you’re wrapped up in a tricky office romance. From October 21 to November 10 Mercury will backtrack through your 6th House of Work and yes, miscommunication is possible in this area of your life. This might be a good time to keep work and play separate — at least temporarily. Thankfully, love potential will be quite exciting this fall for you! On October 7 until November 5 Venus will tour your 7th House of Partnership and any Geminis who are already attached will enjoy an extra harmonious time (even with Mercury Retrograde)! Then, on December 7, sexy Mars will slide into your 7th House of True Love offering a stimulating (and extra-long) cycle when it comes to dating and having fun in the bedroom!
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
You’re floating on cloud nine these days, Cancer. In fact, you may feel as if you’ve got the world by its tail thanks to lucky Jupiter touring your sign. Blessings are likely to extend to your love life, especially as we get to the gorgeous Solar Eclipse on November 3. This eclipse will light up your 5th House of Expression and help breathe new life into your romantic happenings. Saturn is also in this part of your chart, but will enjoy the support of Jupiter in your sign as well as the eclipse energy to help bring stable, enduring love potential your way. In fact, Venus will enter your 7th House of Committed Partnerships on November 5 for an unusually long stay that will last until March of 2014! You can certainly count on revisions in the love department (most likely with a happy ending). With Mercury also retrograde in your 5th House of True Love from October 21 to November 10 it’s possible that this new love energy will arrive from an old flame who wants to start over. Be open to the possibilities.
Leo (July. 23 – Aug. 22)
You’ll kick things off with such heat this fall you might not want to believe the season is actually changing! Mars, the planet of assertive drive — including your sex drive — will be in your sign until October 15, allowing you to work your “sexy” factor. You’ll notice plenty of courage and stamina to pursue anyone who’s made your heart skip a beat. Love gets even better between October 7 and November 5 as Venus enters your 5th House of Love and Play. Expect romantic prospects at every turn. If, by some chance you’re still single, a gorgeous New Moon in your 5th house on December 2 should put an end to lonely nights once and for all.
Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22)
Fall will definitely be your season for love! Whether you’re single or attached, romantic prospects will surely intensify. The headline news is that Venus will enter Capricorn and your 5th House of True Love on November 5 and will not leave this area of your chart until March 6, 2014! Why the unusually long visit? Venus will turn retrograde leading to a very special focus on matters of the heart for you. The retrograde won’t actually happen until the Winter Solstice, but during the fall you’ll want to pay close attention to developments in your love life. It will be the situations that happen in this fall that you’ll be revising your approach to come winter. On November 7 you and someone you’re casually dating may decide to take your relationship to the next level. On November 15 Venus will cozy up to Pluto and you can surely anticipate a fated love connection if single. If attached, sparks will FLY with you and your mate!
Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22)
A telling Lunar Eclipse on October 18 will illuminate the status of a close personal relationship. The truth is that you and your partner might no longer be on the same wavelength in many areas and have already spent time and energy trying to reconcile these differences. At eclipse time you’ll know whether or not your efforts have been in vain. Relief is possible however if communication lines are clear. This is due to a helpful trine between Venus in your 3rd House of Communication to Uranus, now in your 7th House of Partnerships. A mutual agreement about changing the paradigm of your relationship to one that’s less traditional might be exactly what you need to salvage it. The Full Moon in Taurus on November 17 will illuminate your 8th House of Intimacy. Will the events that transpire this fall lead you to build a wall even higher than before or will they allow you to trust and reveal yourself completely? Only you can decide.
Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21)
This fall you can expect an “all or nothing” approach to love. Venus will be in your sign until October 7 prompting you to have a mesmerizing effect on anyone you want to attract your way. Mercury will turn retrograde in Scorpio however and from October 21 to November 10 you might stumble on your words more than usual. This could prove to be tricky if you hope to have an important conversation with someone special. If a significant decision or vital dialogue must happen between the two of you try to time it as close as possible to November 7 when you’ll have the support of Venus in your 3rd House of Communication at a friendly sextile to Neptune in your 5th House of Love and Play. Even if Mercury is retrograde at least on this day, your lover will be more forgiving of any communication mishaps. The main event however, will be a Solar Eclipse in your sign on November 3. If you’re ready to take a relationship to the next level you’ll push ahead with unstoppable force.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21)
Matters of the heart will become a strong focus for you this fall once we enter eclipse season. On October 18 a Lunar Eclipse in Aries will light up your 5th House of True Love. A casual (possibly torrid) affair may end during this time — particularly if things have been rocky. Alternatively, if you’re dating someone new and your feelings are growing stronger by the day, this eclipse might prompt you to make an emotionally open declaration of love. Venus will help you since she’ll grace your sign from October 7 — November 5. During this time you’ll look more beautiful than ever and will enjoy astounding confidence. This can’t help but translate into greater powers of attraction. Lucky you: you’re sexy and you know it!
Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19)
Your love life might seem quiet as we begin the fall season but don’t be fooled — there’s plenty of activity in store. It all begins on November 5 when Venus enters Capricorn. Typically this is a cycle where you’ll enjoy greater powers of attraction and will also look and feel more beautiful. The fascinating difference between this year’s visit of Venus to Capricorn however is that Venus will turn retrograde (on December 21) and will not leave Capricorn until March 6, 2014! This fall you must take careful notes about what transpires for you in matters of the heart as well as your overall concept of love. While everything might seem extra special now, you’ll need to practically re-assess where you are in terms of love come winter. There are gorgeous indications this fall however, that you’ll be in a happy place when it comes to romance. On November 7 Venus will be at a gorgeous angle to Neptune helping you open up to a spiritual connection with your mate. Then, on November 15 Venus will be conjunct Pluto making it clear that when it comes to love, you’ll settle for nothing less than absolute intensity! The Full Moon in Taurus on November 17 will lead to an emotional climax between you and someone special.
Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18)
You might start off on a rough patch this fall when it comes to partnership. If you’re in a committed relationship, you’ll feel this most. Mars, the planet of action but also strife, will continue to move through your 7th House of Partnerships until October 15. After this date you’ll notice fewer arguments between you and your mate but until then, expect plenty of heat. Mercury will move retrograde from October 21 until November 10 and since Mercury rules your 5th house of Romance it’s possible that you’ll experience a few miscommunications during this time. Since Mercury will retrograde through your 10th House of Reputation, be careful about being the subject of salacious gossip. On December 17 a Full Moon in your 5th house will bring an emotionally charged situation between you and your lover to light. For better or worse, expect a turning point.
Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20)
If you’re single and looking for love, or, if you’re dating someone new, expect the fall to be filled with romantic potential. Jupiter, the planet of expansion and abundance, will continue to move through your 5th House of True Love — a once in twelve year event! With a transit like this you might very well find the love of your life! When Venus trines Jupiter on September 26 you’ll have an even sweeter opportunity for love. If you’re already attached, Mars will enter your 7th House of Partnerships on October 15 and will remain here until December 7. There might be more arguments than usual, or you might decide to speak up for yourself with a greater amount of aggression. The funny thing is that on October 19 when Mars opposes Neptune you and your mate might scratch your foreheads in confusion, wondering what the heck it really is that you’re fighting about after all. Don’t sweat the small stuff!
Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday, September 18
It feels as if love is hard to find today, but we might be pleasantly surprised if we take the time to look beyond surface appearances. We may show our displeasure by withdrawing emotionally as the somber Venus-Saturn conjunction resonates through our lives. It’s not easy to blend the affectionate warmth of Venus with the calculated coldness of Saturn. However, the compassionate Pisces Moon offers a spiritual response to more practical questions.
Aries Horoscope
(Mar 21 – Apr 19)
Withholding support from someone isn’t a good idea today even if you’re trying to send a message of disapproval. Or maybe you want to separate yourself from a project that has gone astray. In either case, your actions aren’t helpful if your responses are based on fear of the unknown. It’s more useful to honestly talk about the cause of your concerns without blaming anyone else. But don’t expect the tension to dissipate right away. Stay on your current path by working with others until you gain more clarity after tomorrow’s Full Moon.
Taurus Horoscope
(Apr 20 – May 20)
You might feel a little left out of the fun as if there’s an emotional chill in the air now that your key planet Venus is restrained by the dominance of karmic Saturn. Although you may fight against the resistance at first, letting go of control is the smartest way today to quickly turn an uncomfortable situation into a very sweet one. Give up a little independence voluntarily; it’s a small price to pay in the big scheme of things and can improve your chances of receiving the love that you desire.
Gemini Horoscope
(May 21 – Jun 20)
You may be offered a tough choice today, especially if you aren’t one to make a commitment easily. You could be very convincing as you explain your desire for intimacy, but you’ll likely retreat if someone gets too near to your heart. However, mustering up enough courage to overcome your fears is the key to happiness. Luckily, you don’t have to repeat the same old patterns just because you are scared of getting hurt. Take a leap of faith and trust the process.
Cancer Horoscope
(Jun 21 – Jul 22)
It appears that you could get the support you need from a close friend or a family member if you ask for it, so you don’t really have a logical reason to keep quiet now. Even if you can’t easily imagine that someone will actually be there for you, taking a calculated risk should turn out fine. Instead of seeing your current situation as requiring an all-or-nothing approach, try to establish enough common ground for the basis of a solid partnership. Let others nurture you the way you would nurture them.
Leo Horoscope
(Jul 23 – Aug 22)
It may be awkward to engage in a casual conversation now because your feelings might be exposed and you’re afraid that you won’t get what you want. Your unspoken fears could actually turn into a self-fulfilling prophesy today, especially if you withdraw from social interaction. Fortunately, you have the power to overcome the negativity of your own self-limiting thoughts. You can turn things around by changing your attitude and opening your heart.
Virgo Horoscope
(Aug 23 – Sep 22)
It’s time to make a crucial decision about how best to spend or save your money. But this goes much deeper than being a simple cash flow problem because the underlying issue is more likely about your self-esteem. When you realize all the skills that you have to offer, your earning power could grow quickly, so don’t fall into the trap of thinking that you’re worth any less than you actually are.
Libra Horoscope
(Sep 23 – Oct 22)
You are not inclined to waste your energy while sharing your feelings today. You are very practical when it comes to allocating your time now that your key planet Venus runs into austere Saturn in your 2nd House of Resources. You may be very rational about cutting back on frivolous pleasures to assure that you will have what you need on a rainy day. Although caution makes sense, remember that there is an unlimited supply of love, so you can always splurge where it matters most.
Scorpio Horoscope
(Oct 23 – Nov 21)
You don’t need to suffer in silence today if you’re willing to face an old fear with a new attitude. Your current isolation is probably more voluntary than you care to admit now that the sobering Venus-Saturn conjunction occurs in your sign. The current situation has very little to do with what happened to you in the past. It’s your choice; you can respond emotionally based on old worn-out habits or you can live fully in the present. Ultimately, being realistic is a much more empowering strategy than being pessimistic.
Sagittarius Horoscope
(Nov 22 – Dec 21)
Don’t be so quick to assume that your friends are putting you down today when your warped perceptions may be contributing to the dynamics. You might be so sensitive now that you’re imagining trouble, even where there isn’t any. However, it may be too late to avoid the discomfort if negativity has already been generated by your feelings of uncertainty. Instead of projecting previous failures onto others, talk about your concerns without pointing fingers at anyone else. Honest dialogue clears the air by getting everything out into the open.
Capricorn Horoscope
(Dec 22 – Jan 19)
It may be disheartening if you don’t receive the professional respect you deserve now as vulnerable Venus bumps up against your key planet Saturn. You’ve done the hard work, yet unfortunately, your ego can get in the way by tricking you to think that you should be more highly appreciated than you are. Don’t waste your time dreaming about recognition and fame. The real reward is the deep satisfaction that comes from knowing you’ve done your very best.
Aquarius Horoscope
(Jan 20 – Feb 18)
Unfortunately, there’s no room on your schedule to surrender to your desires now. Instead, you must maintain an emotionally cool and competent presence at work while sweet Venus runs into austere Saturn in your 10th House of Profession. Don’t waste energy complaining about what you’re missing; instead, get busy working on your long-term goals. Seeking personal satisfaction has to wait; being patient today is your best strategy to realizing your dreams tomorrow.
Pisces Horoscope
(Feb 19 – Mar 20)
Too much resistance from a partner doesn’t give you an excuse to go off brooding today. Don’t isolate yourself from someone you love deeply just because you think that everything isn’t perfect between you. It’s tempting to hide your head in the sand like an ostrich, but this avoidance technique is certainly not a sensible long-term solution. Facing the shortcomings of a relationship might actually put you back in touch with your heart, which in turn, could lead to an emotional healing.
Daily Cosmic Calendar for September 18
Here is day two of that preparation for the Full Moon cycle mentioned in yesterday’s calendar entry. Healing forces are definitely on the march — courtesy of the monthly lunar union with Chiron in Pisces (1:04AM) followed by their parallel (6:16AM). Don’t be shocked if mind-reading and tuning into a loved one’s deep-seated feelings becomes temporarily more prevalent. The concept of synchronicity is strongly associated with Chiron aspects. Improving your relationship with a significant other and close friends is definitely on the agenda as Pallas makes a fairly rare polarity to Juno (9:02AM) just 2+ hours before Vesta makes an off-kilter, 150-degree tie with Juno (11:47AM). When a 150-degree alignment occurs, consider ways to adjust your thoughts, feelings or attitudes in order to keep your social life peaceful and balanced. One of two, monthly trines from the Moon to Jupiter in water signs (11:17AM) adds a benevolent touch and optimistic slant to the two, Juno-endowed sky patterns. If dark and stormy clouds appear to be developing on your love and money horizons, it is due to the annual Venus-Saturn conjunction happening this year, as well as next year, in often tension-plagued Scorpio (1:55PM). While most professional astrologers will see a Venus-Saturn union as distressing — with a great potential for delays, fears, frustrations, and blocks — the fine art (Venus) of right timing (Saturn) can help you get through the thunder-and-lightning bolts in order to make peace with dear ones and be sensible about financial matters. Helping you transform the Venus-Saturn rendezvous into something useful is a supportive, 60-degree tie from Venus to Pluto (6:52PM). Early meditations for tomorrow’s Full Moon, in individual or group format, are welcome additions to the global network of bringing enlightenment to humanity and the kingdoms of nature. Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Daylight 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 Weekly Love Horoscopes for Sept. 16th – 22nd
Love is serious business this week. Wednesday’s conjunction of Venus to Saturn in Scorpio suggests it’s time to move past any surface-level or lighthearted romantic ideology. The universe wants to know whether or not your love has what it takes to survive the depths of despair together. Staying together is easy when times are good, but the true test of a partnership happens during the bad times. Venus and Saturn together in Scorpio will symbolize a major awakening that revolves around the durability of your romantic bond — even through the darkness. Still, don’t assume that you’ll experience a rough patch with your mate. If you know your love is solid, this week appears to reinforce that. Venus will also be at a perfect sextile to Pluto, assuring that the more open you are to being vulnerable with your partner, the more transcendental your union can truly be.
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
Fearless communication will be the hallmark of your love life early in the week. On Tuesday, a gorgeous link between Mercury and Mars may prompt you to talk to your lover about sex. Is there a discrepancy between your respective needs in the bedroom? Do you have a fantasy that you’ve always wanted your mate to participate in? If so, this will be the time to speak up. Adding to the strong support of intimate conversation is Wednesday’s conjunction of Venus and Saturn in your 8th House of Shared Resources. Repressing deep sexual needs will only add tension to your relationship. It’s time to open up.
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)
Things between you and your partner will likely come to a head this week. Saturn, the planet of limitation and tests, has been touring your 7th House of Relationships since October 2012. This signals a karmic cycle where any existing partnership may endure tests that help you to decipher how viable your relationship truly is. If you’ve been feeling the tension lately, Wednesday might be a turning point — for better or worse. Venus and Saturn will collide in your 7th House of Relationships. If you’re not feeling appreciated by your mate, you’ll make your feelings known.
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)
If you’re single and looking for love, this week will be the perfect time to ask someone out on a first date, or to indulge in some flirty communication! On Tuesday, Mercury, in your 5th House of Love and Pleasure, will be at a perfect sextile to Mars, in your 3rd House of Communication. This is your chance to make a bold statement to someone special and be confident that it’ll get you noticed! Most likely, it’ll be in a positive way, thanks to the added support of the Sun moving into your 5th House of Love and Pleasure by Sunday. Make love happen!
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)
Whether you’re in a relationship or not, matters of the heart are certain to weigh heavily on your mind this week. If you’re single, it’s possible that you’ll feel that extra pang of loneliness due to Wednesday’s connection of Venus to Saturn in your 5th House of Love and Pleasure. The lesson is not to resign yourself to negative, depressed notions of your love potential. Rather, now is the time for you to make a resolute declaration about what you will and won’t put up with in order to feel loved. If you’re attached, Venus and Saturn will both connect to Pluto in your 7th House of Relationships this week, offering the opportunity to give serious consideration to your commitment. Remember: We accept the love we think we deserve.
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)
These days, your love life and your family life might not exactly blend perfectly together. If you’re dating someone new and have recently brought your sweetheart to a domestic function, you may have the clear feeling that your lover and your clan aren’t hitting it off. This sticky situation might weigh heavily on you, particularly on Wednesday, as Venus and Saturn connect in your 4th House of Home and Family Life. The best thing you can do now is avoid trying to force the issue. That will only make someone you love feel alienated. Thursday’s Full Moon in your 8th House of Deep Transformation might stir up your deeper emotional side. Are you willing to really let love in?
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
Speaking from the heart might not be as easy as you think, but when it comes to love it’s the only way. On Wednesday, Venus and Saturn will link up in your 3rd House of Communication, making it clear that whatever you convey about love is anything but superficial. If you’re feeling insecure about communicating your feelings to someone special, ask yourself why this is the case. What are you afraid of? Rejection is always the chance we take when we open our hearts, but if you’re not willing to take the risk, you’ll never experience the joy that love has to offer. Thursday’s Full Moon in your 7th House of Relationships amplifies the sensitive attention you’ll have in a partnership matter.
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
Ever-concerned about relationships and your place in them, Libra, these days you’re able to effectively communicate what you need in a union. This is a welcome change of pace, because you’re typically so concerned with what the other person requires, often at the cost of yourself. On Tuesday, Mercury in Libra will be at a fine angle to Mars, which gives courageous communication in a social, nonthreatening way. If single, you might reach out to someone new and initiate a conversation on a social media or Internet dating site. You have nothing to lose! In fact, with the Sun entering your sign on Sunday, all eyes will surely be on you.
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
A significant turning point in your love life is possible this week. You’re certainly not in the mood to play games, and if you suspect that your lover is, well, you’re just not having it. A sober conjunction between Venus and Saturn in Scorpio on Wednesday screams that you want to be taken seriously when it comes to love. You’re not the type who will settle for an arm candy relationship, and these days superficiality is an even greater turn off. On Thursday, a Full Moon in your 5th House of Romance will make it perfectly clear to your lover that if you can’t have it all, you’d rather have nothing.
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
The pangs of unrequited love may be especially harsh this week. On Wednesday, Venus and Saturn will connect in your 12th House of Privacy — which is also associated with isolation and anxiety. With this combination, romantic feelings you have for someone that have clearly been restricted from expression might leave you more wistful than usual. Try not to spend the entire week moping over lost opportunity or regretting words that you may or may not have spoken to this person. Recognize that it’s time to move on. What’s meant to be yours will not pass you by.
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
Friendship and love are not two mutually exclusive relationships in your book — especially these days. With Venus traveling through your 11th House of Friends and Associations until October 7, you’ll pay careful attention to the level of camaraderie you have with a potential love interest. If there’s one particular friend you’ve had for ages, it’s possible that you’re fraught with romantic feelings for him or her. On Wednesday, Venus and Saturn will connect in your 11th House of Friends and Associations and it may be time for you to take a deep breath and reveal your sentiments. Worrying about rejection or that it may change your friendship with this person is pointless now. Be honest with yourself: It already has.
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
Your point of view may change this week, thanks to the influence of your partner. He or she may expose you to a previously unchartered philosophy, religion or other school of thought. If so, you’ll feel extremely stimulated by the newfound awareness. You’ll ask the big questions and will attempt to answer them together. The best part, however, is that you’re not as concerned about the answers as you are about the journey you’ll take that will lead you towards them. Lucky for you, your mate feels the exact same way. Enjoy the mental simpatico.
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
You’ll be extra sensitive this week, thanks to Thursday’s Full Moon in your sign. You’ll be emotionally open, for sure, and extremely sentimental. This will translate into your love life as you’ll feel an even deeper yearning to share unconditional, soul-mate, fairy-tale romance with someone special. In fact, by Sunday, when the Sun enters your 8th House of Intimacy, you’ll be ready to share yourself completely with a lover. Body and soul. That’s the sexual experience you’ll crave. Luckily, now you’ve got every chance to capture it. If, however, you’re with someone who leaves your physical and spiritual cup empty, you might decide to make a change. Above all, be true to yourself.
Daily Cosmic Calendar for September 14th
Just when it seemed that the cosmos was sick and tired of making the red planet Mars into a villain — as it did last Monday and Tuesday — now the fourth main rock from the Sun meanders into an off-kilter, 150-degree link-up with wounded-healer Chiron (1:32AM). Arguing with or tormenting a dear one with abusive language is bush league and responding to the lowest common denominator of this challenging alignment. Instead, think of a martial art you might want to learn or investigate the nutritional properties of various teas and herbs. If you want to fight and be a warrior, join a campaign for peaceful purposes or be a dynamic ambassador spreading goodwill around the globe. Mercury is also showing signs of distress by making a contra-parallel with the Sun (3:04AM) while squaring Pluto (1:30PM). When Mercury becomes weak or compromised, communication channels are often temporarily blocked and you may need extra oomph and pizazz to get your points across. Stress may also be rising on the emotional front and with primary partnerships due to a square-off of 90-degrees afflicting Venus and Juno in fixed, power signs (1:52PM). Ouch! Feminine issues may seem too hot to handle for the time being. Don’t overdo a visit to the mall by going on a spending spree you might quickly regret. In the meantime, a moderate rescue effort is being conducted by Mars and Uranus making a trine of 120-degrees in fire signs (1:58PM) just a few hours before the Moon and Sun make a similar trine in earth signs (4:18PM). Combine your intuition and common sense into a dynamic duo to get you out of troubled waters. However, the last aspect by the Moon and Sun (4:18PM) begins a void lunar twilight zone that continues until 5:06AM tomorrow. Keep lingering worries at bay tonight and immerse yourself in a bestseller or film classic. Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Daylight 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 Wednesday, Sept. 11th
Maintaining a steady rhythm is a challenge today because we are in the midst of an energetic shift. We don’t feel so carefree now, even though the Moon enters cavalier Sagittarius at 2:35 am EDT. We can act out our aggression and then compensate by retreating just a few moments later because assertive Mars anxiously aligns with uncompromising Pluto. The heat is cranked up another notch as pleasure-seeking Venus tangos into passionate Scorpio.
Aries Horoscope
(Mar 21 – Apr 19)
You’re eager to apply what you recently learned to a complex situation at work, but you might not realize the consequences of your current actions. There are dynamic changes on your horizon now that sweet Venus has taken up residence in your 8th House of Deep Sharing. It’s time to ask yourself what you want from others while you can still see the potential of what’s ahead. Keep in mind that everything feels very intense today, so move forward slowly with kindness and compassion.
Taurus Horoscope
(Apr 20 – May 20)
Collaborating with others continues to be your main focus when your key planet Venus enters your 7th House of Partners today. Thankfully, now you can see beyond the doubts that have previously limited your actions. But instead of wondering how you will complete everything on your plate, think about what motivates the people in your life. Ask questions and actively listen to what is said because you could learn something valuable about yourself as you discover more about someone else’s experiences.
Gemini Horoscope
(May 21 – Jun 20)
Strangely enough, you may not be able to tell if your life is growing simpler or more complex. Your goal was to create a schedule that allows you enough time for yourself, but now everything seems to be changing again. Go ahead and grab an opportunity to play while you still can, for your work might not afford you so much free time during the next few weeks. If it appears like others are having more fun than you, don’t complain; temporarily set aside your current concerns and join the party.
Cancer Horoscope
(Jun 21 – Jul 22)
You want to be enthusiastic about your job today, although you may have to work on recapturing your earlier vision. You might start your day feeling resentful toward someone who won’t cooperate with you. But there’s no reason to hold onto negative feelings. As others grow more supportive in return, make a choice to graciously accept what they offer while still pushing your agenda forward.
Leo Horoscope
(Jul 23 – Aug 22)
Resolving an interpersonal conflict in the morning gives you the maximum amount of time to make the most of the rest of your day. Someone at work might bring you an opportunity that looks promising, but you would be wise to do your due diligence before just saying yes. Ultimately, your new direction may turn out great, but you could easily mislead yourself if you don’t check out the facts thoroughly. Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.
Virgo Horoscope
(Aug 23 – Sep 22)
Your current sense of nostalgia might lure you back into your past, but, paradoxically, this sentimentality can put you in touch with someone who shares your search for meaning. Fortunately, your memories also activate feelings in the present moment. However, don’t fall into the trap of believing that a current situation is the same as a past one. Ultimately, your future success comes from looking forward, not backward.
Libra Horoscope
(Sep 23 – Oct 22)
Today may seem busier than recent days, partly because you are enthusiastic about getting a lot done. The cheery Sagittarius Moon wires your 3rd House of Immediate Environment, but you could end up spinning your wheels throughout the day and still not have anything tangible to show for your efforts. Avoid the temptation to scatter your energy. Slowing down and checking one thing off your list at a time leads to higher productivity and more satisfying results.
Scorpio Horoscope
(Oct 23 – Nov 21)
You’re on the threshold of an exciting opportunity and may be entranced by sweet Venus’ entry into your powerful sign, provoking both desire and fear. You’re aware of the changes in the air and understand that you can’t rely on your old ways of doing things. It’s time to let unfulfilled dreams fade away so you can create new ones that are more relevant and realistic. Ultimately, you’ll feel better once you step away from the past and move into the future.
Sagittarius Horoscope
(Nov 22 – Dec 21)
You may have recently experienced a challenging emotional situation when you had to relinquish control for a while. Now, with the evocative Moon back in your sign, you are reawakening to your own desires. You’re motivated to go out and get whatever you want. However, your enthusiasm could be too much if you ride roughshod over someone’s feelings. Remember to balance your goals with the needs of others. You are not alone; your happiness is intertwined with the well-being of the people you love.
Capricorn Horoscope
(Dec 22 – Jan 19)
If you are reconsidering your long-term trajectory, it may be time to think about setting new goals and aiming your life in an entirely different direction. Whether or not you actually make any changes now, put away your fantasies and consider only what’s real. However, this is not about giving up on your dreams; it’s more about putting them in proper perspective. Letting go of old expectations frees you to create a more relevant strategy. Once you have a plan in place, you might be pleasantly surprised with the speed of change.
Aquarius Horoscope
(Jan 20 – Feb 18)
It may feel like a split-personality day, yet holding both perspectives can test your metal. You have a lot to gain by stepping into your power and entertaining visions of the future now that the expansive Sagittarius Moon is visiting your 11th House of Future Dreams. However, you must also be practical when considering what to do because valuable Venus enters your career-minded 10th House today. Personal satisfaction comes from balancing possibilities with practicalities.
Pisces Horoscope
(Feb 19 – Mar 20)
Wake up and snap out of your dreams, especially if you’ve been lost in fantasies about exotic adventures and far-off lands. There’s nothing wrong with letting your thoughts wander, but the Moon’s shift into your 10th House of Public Responsibility reflects the work you have to do now. You can’t afford the luxury of drifting in the impractical realms of your imagination today. However, don’t lose touch with your hopes; just express them in the real world, for this is where your vision must ultimately manifest.
