Your Love Horoscopes for the Week of August 12th

Sudden, dramatic communication that comes from the heart is on the agenda this week. An electrifying trine between Mercury in romantic Leo to Uranus in courageous Aries will help everyone express romantic sentiments with confidence on Wednesday. This is not the week to keep your feelings to yourself! Then, by Friday, love will be everyone’s first priority as Venus glides into Libra, her home sign of relationship. By this weekend, it’ll be abundantly clear that “two is better than one.”

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Talking to your lover has never been easier. In fact, on Wednesday you might reveal thoughts to your sweetheart that you never anticipated sharing. If this happens, you’re not likely to regret it. The communication you share will certainly bring you closer. Single? Arrange a first date for Wednesday after work. You may be pleasantly surprised with someone special who is a hopeless romantic and a brilliant conversationalist! On Friday, Venus will enter you 7th House of Committed Partnership. If attached, you’ll feel especially balanced as a couple.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

From Monday afternoon until Wednesday evening, the Moon in your 7th House of Partnerships will create a serious emotional tone between you and your mate. On one hand, the potential for intimacy will be strong because the Moon will be in intense Scorpio. At the same time, however, you can expect raw emotions to resurface if you or your partner are troubled with feelings of resentment or betrayal. On Friday, Venus will enter your 6th House of Work. If single, an office romance might be on the horizon.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Late Wednesday night and all day Thursday, the Moon will be in Sagittarius and your 7th House of Committed Partnership. Emotional honesty will be easy to achieve between you and your love. In fact, you may turn a corner in your relationship if you’re willing to take a leap of faith and share your deeper philosophical beliefs with one another. On Friday, Venus will enter your 5th House of True Love, and if you’re single you’ll enjoy dazzling romantic prospects until September 11!

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

From Monday afternoon until Wednesday evening, an intense Scorpio Moon will tour your 5th House of Romantic Pleasures. This may stimulate your erotic side, so if you’re dating someone special, expect a titillating encounter. If you’re single, however, the Moon may ignite a nagging feeling of loneliness — especially when it connects to Saturn late Monday night. Stay strong. Even if this energy tugs at your heart strings, it’s helping you to remain dignified. Know that when it comes to love, you shouldn’t settle for anything less than the best.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Now that Mercury is in your sign, it’s easy to express yourself. When it comes to romance, you’ll have your sights set on broad horizons, thanks to Wednesday’s trine between Mercury and Uranus, now in your 9th House of Expansion. You’ll convince the one you love that together you can do anything. That’s right … the sky’s the limit! Love gets even better by late Wednesday and Thursday, when the Moon sails into your 5th House of Love and Entertainment. Who cares if it’s the middle of the week? Plan a fun date night!

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

This week you might have a breakthrough when it comes to matters of intimacy. Perhaps you harbor anxious feelings from past experiences that prevent you from getting too close to someone now — even if you’re in love with this person. If so, on Wednesday a sudden insight about what’s holding you back from truly revealing yourself will help you push past this fear. The Moon in your 5th House of Romance will help foster this awakening this weekend, especially when it touches Pluto on Saturday.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

A friend might meddle in your personal life this week — but in a good way! Wednesday’s eclectic trine between Mercury to Uranus (now in your 7th House of Partnership) might encourage a conversation between your mate and a pal that helps stimulate your relationship. Perhaps your mate will receive advice from your buddy about how best to “woo” you. If so, your love will take this guidance to heart. Also, Venus will enter your sign on Friday, offering you even greater powers of attraction until September 11.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Wearing your heart on your sleeve might have its advantages. On Monday and Tuesday, the Moon will be in your 1st House of Self. This will help you express feelings with greater authenticity, which will have a positive effect on your capacity to relate to someone close. On Friday, however, there will be a drastic change. Venus moves into your 12th House of Seclusion, and you may require extra privacy when it comes to matters of the heart until September 11.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

It’ll be easy to remain openhearted and optimistic when it comes to love this week. On Wednesday, a brilliant link between Mercury to Uranus, now in your 5th House of Romance, will help you communicate to your lover your need to remain an adventurous spirit. Freedom is important to you, and if this requirement is honored you’ll only love deeper. On Friday, Venus will enter your 11th House of Friends and Groups, which will stimulate your social life. If single, a friendship may blossom into something more.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

It’s possible that your love life will become more public this week, Capricorn! On Friday, Venus will enter your 10th House of Reputation and Status. You’re likely to feel tied to a love interest who can help further your profession goals, or at least offer unwavering support. Because Venus is the natural ruler of your 5th House of True Love, it’s possible that, if single, you’ll fall for someone older than you or in a position of authority. Above all, you need to respect the person you give your heart to.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

If communication is the secret to a happy relationship, then you’ve got that down pat this week. On Wednesday, Mercury will be in your 7th House of Partnership at a gorgeous trine to Uranus, now in your 3rd House of Communication. Expect a positive and potentially game-changing conversation between you and your mate. On Friday, Venus will sail into your 9th House of Mind Expansion. You and a lover may decide to book that romantic getaway overseas. Go for it!

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

With Jupiter and Mars touring your 5th House of Creativity and True Love, there’s no shortage of opportunity for you to enjoy life’s pleasures these days. On Tuesday, the Moon in Scorpio will stimulate both of these planets and you might hear special news from someone you love. There might be an opportunity to expand your horizons with your sweetheart by participating in a hobby you both enjoy. On Friday, Venus will enter your 8th House of Joint Finances and Shared Intimacy. If married, expect positive news about your partner’s money.

Friday belongs to Venus, and its energies are warm, sensuous, and fulfilling. Efforts that involve any type of pleasure, comfort, and luxury, as well as the arts, music, or aroma (incense and perfume) works well on this day. As Venus lends its sensuous influences to the energies of this day, use it for any magical work that deals with matters of the heart.

For August 9th – Your Daily Horoscopes

Critical analysis empowers us to make better decisions now that the Moon is in exacting Virgo. We want to filter out feelings that are no longer useful but sweet Venus aligns with extravagant Jupiter today, nearly overwhelming us with our desires. Instead of allowing our emotions to carry us along, we may choose to limit them. Even if we restrain ourselves, we should remember that attractions are not always as neat and tidy as we might wish.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Your drive for independence often prompts you to take extreme action. However, you may be gathering more information now in order to balance other people’s needs with your own. Fortunately, acknowledging everyone’s boundaries will allow you to express yourself more freely. Respecting the wishes of your friends and acquaintances today is the wisest way to build a strong foundation in a new relationship.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

A roller coaster romance doesn’t sound so exciting today; neither does a get-rich-quick scheme that might turn out to be an expensive distraction. Although you like being entertained by your fantasies, you’re more interested in creating stability now than having fun. Thankfully, keeping your dreams separate from reality allows you to enjoy the best of both worlds.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

Decisions concerning your home and family won’t come easily today, yet your choices are not as critical as they may seem. Part of the current problem stems from being caught in the middle of an unsolvable dilemma. However, once you accept the notion that resolution is not on the horizon now, you are freed from having to take any action at all. Wait and see what happens before you make your next move.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

You can accomplish more than you expect today by micromanaging your calendar. The trick is you must execute your plan exactly as imagined. Unfortunately, if you stuff too many commitments into your tight schedule, it will only take one late appointment to mess up your whole day. It’s best to give yourself some wiggle room in advance to allow for circumstances that are beyond your control. Exercising self-restraint works to your advantage now.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

It’s a perfect day to sit down and make a list of everything you do well. Consider this little exercise as a way of taking a personal inventory. But be completely honest and include those things about yourself you would like to improve as well. However, there is no reason to be extreme in your judgment about your shortcomings. You don’t need to make major changes now; instead play up your strengths rather than focusing on your liabilities.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your moods change dramatically throughout the day as you alternate between feeling positive about your goals and also struggling with your self-esteem. Since you’re often self-critical, it may seem awkward to go easy on yourself now. Even if you believe you’re doing fine, you still might bump into your inadequacies as if they belong to someone else. No matter who you are judging, continue to aspire toward greater acceptance. A compassionate heart creates the necessary space for positive change.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You may be captivated by your imagination today and there’s little you can do to escape the spell. But don’t worry if you get lost in your dreams since they can be a very powerful source of inspiration. However, the more you attempt to cling to reality, the more annoyed you become with yourself now. Watching your fantasies unfold as if you are an unattached observer empowers you to learn how to use them to your benefit.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

It may feel as if your friends are being overly critical of you today, but your extreme reactions are probably connected to your current sensitivity. You might believe that growing thicker skin would help, but there is a dangerous price to pay for wearing a tough exterior. It’s better to receive kind feedback from a supportive ally now than it is to get a much harsher assessment from someone else later on. Listen with an open mind and graciously accept the message as a gesture of genuine concern.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You might want to escape to a secluded tropical island now because there are too many details demanding your attention at work. You would rather leave this kind of micromanaging to someone else, but this is one of those times when you really need to knuckle down and do whatever is expected of you. Don’t waste energy complaining about your fate; whistle while you work and see who joins in.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Steady reassurance from others lifts your spirits through a difficult time. Although you would love to offer your support in return, chances are that your involvement won’t come without a cost. However, you must receive the bad news along with the good. Taking a bitter pill might be just the medicine you need to see things from a fresh perspective. A change in your attitude can greatly improve the relationship dynamics.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Sometimes you choose to avoid intense emotional interactions because you are not as comfortable navigating the illogical realms as the rational ones. However, you’re intrigued now by digging into repressed feelings with someone you trust, for there is useful information just beneath the threshold of your perceptions. Go slowly as you explore the shadows of your life since there are crucial lessons to learn on this spiritual journey.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

It’s no laughing matter when someone criticizes you in a way that hurts your feelings. However, the current feedback may not be as intentionally mean as it seems. It isn’t always easy to hear the truth, especially when it’s stated so matter-of-factly. Instead of focusing only on the negative, reframe it in a way that gives you somewhere positive to go. There are almost always silver linings in the dark clouds if you look hard enough to find them.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for August 9th

[All times are calculated for the Pacific Daylight Zone. If you are living in a different time zone, add or subtract the necessary hours so that any timed alignment will be exact where you live.]  During every sequence of approximately 10 to 14 days, usually one 24-hour time-period is offered as nearly a vacation day by the cosmic powers-that-be. Today is one of those days when it is all right to stop worrying about many minor concerns and old problems.  Even though the Moon is in Virgo and there is a natural tendency to worry, Venus is on the rise — forming a parallel to radical-change agent Uranus (10:45AM), an inspirational, 72-degree rapport with benevolent Jupiter (just one minute later at 10:46AM), and its monthly union with the Moon (3:06PM). With Venus so strong, it is wise to realize that social urges, the creative arts and love bonds can be high on the agenda.  There is also a reason to let go of recent tensions as the Moon-Venus conjunction also begins a void-of-course lunar cycle that lasts until 6:09AM tomorrow when the Moon enters affable Libra. During this kind of void lunar cycle — containing the potent but heart-centered essence of Venusian charm and beauty — your ability to magnetically attract what you need for achievements in the fine and graphic arts is greatly enhanced.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for August 8th

[All times are calculated for the Pacific Daylight Zone. If you are living in a different time zone, add or subtract the necessary hours so that any timed alignment will be exact where you live.]  Now that the Moon is transiting through the sixth sign of the zodiac today and tomorrow, be more attentive to the little things in life. Small is beautiful becomes your motto. Mercury, the ruling planet of Virgo, is making news of its own by entering fiery Leo (5:14AM). This can give you a boost as a charismatic leader in almost any major field of endeavor. Mercury will continue to gain in daily speed until it reaches around 2 degrees per day a week from now. [Mercury remains in Leo until August 23 when it, too, enters Virgo.]  On-and-off love and business vibes enter the scene this morning with a huge plus at 10:35AM when the Moon parallels Venus and a major minus at 11:09AM when Venus makes an abrasive, 45-degree tie with Saturn. Trying to solve too many interpersonal problems right now can create mental stress as Juno forms an off-kilter, 150-degree link with Pallas (2:49PM).  Under the auspices of Virgo Moon, it is wise to focus on health, dietary and nutritional issues. Stock up on cereals, grains, veggies, fruit, tea, herbs, vitamins, nuts, seeds and seasonings. Consider having a massage, reflexology session or whirlpool treatment tonight as the Moon forms a polarity to Chiron (9:13PM).

Your Daily Horoscopes for Monday, August 5th

We might as well be on a Twilight Zone set today since weird twists of fate can suddenly change the plot. Otherworldly aspects between irrepressible Uranus, trickster Mercury and beautiful Venus plague us with interdimensional messages that we don’t know how to interpret. Lingering excitement from yesterday’s innovative Sun-Uranus trine is reactivated when the Moon shifts into extroverted Leo at 12:57 pm EDT, prompting us to act on our feelings.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may feel panicky this morning if it seems like you missed your chance to express your feelings. You could even be singing the hesitation blues since you can’t move forward now, yet you’re not satisfied with any retreat scenario. However, your impulses might just be on a time delay today. Don’t worry if you can’t get enough traction to start something new; heading off in a different direction will likely have to wait until later when the Moon enters lively Leo. In the meantime, practice patience; your ultimate satisfaction will be worth the wait.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

You have quite a bit to say about what’s happening in your immediate environment, but you can’t just blurt out your thoughts because of your hypersensitivity to those around you. However, you’re not willing to compromise your ideas by sacrificing your position through negotiation. Although you prefer sticking to your plan and wearing down the opposition with your determination, a stubborn approach could backfire on you today. Ironically, you can come out ahead by adopting a flexible attitude.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

Your key planet Mercury is in the spotlight today, creating mischief through a bait-and-switch trick. You think you’re agreeing to one thing only to discover that you promised something else. Pay extra careful attention to all interactions now or you could end up in trouble. Rash decisions are certainly not a good idea. Contemplation helps you process your feelings so they don’t get in the way of making healthy choices.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Your mind is abuzz with thoughtful Mercury traveling through your sign until August 8. Although your emotions are quite strong, you won’t necessarily be very talkative. In fact, you may find it harder today to express yourself in words as you your feelings get lost in the translation. Don’t worry about explaining your internal process. Instead, observe your reactions but keep them to yourself for now.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You’re roaring with anticipation this morning, as if you were on the edge of something wonderful. However, you intuitively recognize that you can’t just push your way into whatever is next. Instead, prepare yourself by putting your house in order. Fastidious mental housekeeping now helps to ensure your success over the days following tomorrow’s Leo New Moon. Channel your enthusiasm into tying up as many loose ends as possible so you’re ready to go.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your imagination might get the best of you today, especially if you don’t take the time to check out the validity of your feelings. Asking for feedback from your friends is a good place to start, but they may not be forthcoming with their responses. Be patient and give them the room to tell you what’s on their minds. You can learn as much from what they don’t say now as from what they do. Nevertheless, there’s no need to worry about things that will never happen.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your key planet Venus is entangled in a bit of strangeness today, drawing you close to the edges of reality. Fortunately, you have support from helpful colleagues and powerful business allies. You are appreciated by others now more than you may realize. Even if your friends rush to your rescue, they might forget to take the time to tell you how much they care about you. Don’t fish for compliments or validation, or you could push away the very thing you are seeking.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your mental antennae are fully extended now and you can pick up signals that originate from a parallel universe. A special evening allows you to see into your future, even if you aren’t sure how you’ll get there. Meticulous planning comes naturally to you these days. Singularly focus on what’s important to you, for this can assure your success in most anything you initiate.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

An uncharacteristic hesitancy may come over you today, preventing you from sharing what’s in your heart. This is especially true if you are also feeling insecure about your most intimate relationships. You aren’t as willing to risk rejection now, so you might quickly swallow your words before they leave your mouth. Don’t judge yourself harshly for holding back. Trust your instincts; you’ll know when it’s time to say what needs to be said.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

It feels as if someone in your life is holding out on you. There are significant things to be discussed, but you can’t seem to get others to open up. Even if you can sense the frustration of your friends and associates, you might not have a lot of sympathy for them today. You want more facts; you need to know the truth and you don’t want to guess any longer. There’s no point in hitting your head against the wall. Allowing a few more days before you push for what you want improves your chances for success.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

The Sun and the Moon activate your 7th House of Relationships now, but it’s still challenging to clearly see what’s going on. You might feel a bit disjointed emotionally, for it’s tricky to know the best way to proceed when you cannot decide upon your destination. The truth is there’s no reason to be in a hurry at all. Take your time and let the situation unfold before you commit yourself to any one direction. In the meantime, gather more information and listen to the constructive advice you receive from others.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You might feel a bit confused today from all the mixed planetary messages. On one hand, it seems as if your window of opportunity is rapidly closing. A domestic cycle is reaching its conclusion whether you are ready for this transformation or not. On the other hand, your anticipation of the potential creativity and love in your future tickles your imagination now. Stay with the paradox. Forcing a premature solution will only stop the magic in it tracks.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for July 29th

As you look forward to the last three days of July and the start of August, think of today as your best of the quartet in order to get things accomplished your way with pizazz. Taurus Moon can boost your money-management skills while you re-energize physical fitness routines. Gardening, cooking, baking, arts and crafts look promising.  Engage your creative imagination for enhanced problem-solving and strategy sessions as Pallas trines Neptune in water signs (8:50AM PDT) while Pallas also develops a profound and inspirational Grand Triangle along with Saturn tomorrow.  Be steady as a rock to get through rising tensions during the Last Quarter Sun-Moon Phase (activating 7 degrees of Leo and Taurus at 10:44AM PDT).  Later on the Moon makes constructive 60-degree and 120-degree links to Jupiter (12:13PM PDT), Venus (2:49PM PDT), Pluto (4:18PM PDT), Mars (7:10PM PDT), and Chiron (10:54PM PDT) — with the two trines of 120-degrees to Venus and Pluto creating a temporary, dynamic and resourceful Grand Triangle in earth signs. It is pretty rare to have five favorable lunar aspects in a row and extending for 10+ hours. Plus, it is the combination of all of these alignments that can assist you greatly in making this an all-around successful day.

Friday belongs to Venus, and its energies are warm, sensuous, and fulfilling. Efforts that involve any type of pleasure, comfort, and luxury, as well as the arts, music, or aroma (incense and perfume) works well on this day. As Venus lends its sensuous influences to the energies of this day, use it for any magical work that deals with matters of the heart.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Friday, July 26th

What a fantastic day for a romantic daydream! There’s magic in the air as Venus, the planet of love and desire, moves into a surreal opposition with Neptune, the planet of imagination and spirituality. But a simple misunderstanding can lead to relationship drama. Thankfully, a Venus-Saturn alignment helps us keep it real. The Moon blasts into impetuous Aries at 5:28 pm EDT urging us to act on our feelings without thinking about the consequences

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Your most elusive dreams have a chance now to come true. The current cosmic connection presents an interesting opportunity, although it may not be quite as wonderful as it sounds. Sure, the realization of your fantasies can be exhilarating, but sometimes our visions aren’t the same once they’ve fallen from the blurry clouds of illusion into the real world. Be careful what you want; you might have to live with it.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

You could fall head-over-heels in love with your own shadow today and not even realize that it’s attached to you. Your temporary dreamy state prevents you from seeing the truth as it exists separate from your own desires. The fuzziness between fact and fiction may muck up your love life if you build a relationship on the shifting sands of your own illusions. Fortunately, your current visions can also be put to creative use, inspiring those you work with to reach their goals too.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

It may seem as if all is well on the home front. However, there could be a problem now stemming from confusion over relationship dynamics. Keep your eyes and ears open because even the simplest misunderstanding can take you on a wild goose chase today. Nevertheless, you have tools at your disposal to help you navigate through the interpersonal complexities. Use your imagination to explore the various strategies available to you, and then rely on logic to pick the right one.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

You must choose your words very carefully today because people filter your ideas through their own hopes and dreams. Ironically, you might be misled by your own overactive imagination. Fortunately, your creative juices are flowing and your next great adventure seems to be right around the corner. However, there’s still a potential for miscommunication so think about your message before you speak. Then say exactly what you mean and nothing more.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Although you might be sure of yourself much of the time, you’re not feeling so confident now. It’s challenging to remain clear about your intentions when the world seems enchanted. Colors seem brighter than usual, making it difficult to trust your senses. Even if everything is appears awesome, you’re uncomfortable in this all-too-perfect world. However, retreating into your own dream world will only bring temporary reprieve. Let go of your fears and come out to play; you’ll never know what you can create unless you try.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

No matter how sharp your senses are tuned and how precise your analytical skills may be, reality isn’t what you think. You are living in a bubble of fantasies today and your perceptions are shaded by your own internal processes making it nearly impossible to separate the objective from the subjective. When fact and fiction become intertwined, life can get complicated. Nevertheless, minimizing any drama allows you to have enough time to explore your dreams and choose one of them to pursue.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your current optimism keeps slipping out of your grasp like a greased watermelon. One moment, you’re absolutely sure your goals are within reach. The next moment they disappear, as if reality was simply a trick of light reflecting your ideal fantasies. However, you quickly tire of feeling like you are in a fun house where reality is mirrored in ways to fool you into wrong conclusions. Thankfully, everything may fall into place at the very last minute as long as you don’t assume you know what is real.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You may sink into a funk if a romantic bubble suddenly fizzles. Or, fairy tales can come true if you spontaneously fall in love with someone. Whichever reaction you have to this surreal planetary transit, you need to be vigilant. Things aren’t as bad as they may seem. But then again, they’re probably not as good, either. What you see now is not what you get. Thankfully, replacing your premature conclusions with a dose of flexibility offers you the chance to create a social life that leads to emotional contentment.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You may be tied up in a dilemma between your innermost needs and the demands of the outer world. Home and family dynamics pull one way while your career goals pull the other. The professional aspects of your life seem to be at odds now with the personal ones. Even when you try to explain yourself, the words just don’t express your intentions clearly. Happily, you don’t need to find an answer today. Instead, use this time to dream about what you really want; your wish can come true.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Your life can seem pretty intense today as you feel the rug pulled out from under you. But you are in a fight-back mood and you’re not going to idly stand by as reality slips from your grip. The problem is that you can’t win this one by using calculated logic. It’s going to take imagination and finesse. Step back from any entanglements and pretend that you are a spiritual master. Once you have visualized a higher path, you’ll know exact what to do next.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Your romantic attraction to someone special may stir up a bit of trouble today. You can still get lost in your own fantasies even if you don’t act on them. This isn’t a bad thing, unless you try to resist the temptation to escape into the mists of your own dreamland. Granted, you like it better when you can see the ground beneath your feet. However, being inspired now is more useful than feeling secure, so make the most of this little vacation from the pressures of the real world.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may think you know what you want and how you are going to get it, but this certainty isn’t what you are projecting now. Others are currently experiencing a softer and gentler side of you. Perhaps they are even seeing some of your own hidden insecurity coming through the cracks in the walls of your personality. Vulnerability can be the source of power and not a weakness. Sharing your unfulfilled dreams sets the stage for an intimate discussion that deepens a relationship with someone you love.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for July 26th

Finish old business on a high note this morning. This is particularly emphasized with the Moon void in Pisces — the last sign of the zodiac — until 2:30PM PDT. In addition, confusion and chaos are potentially on the rise due to Venus forming its annual opposition with its higher-guardian planet Neptune (5:09AM PDT). What you believe to be true about a significant other may not be the case. Don’t jump to conclusions without the facts.  In the meantime, Venus moves on to making two aspects with ring-master Saturn — a seemingly supportive, 60-degree contact (11:37AM PDT) and a more caustic contra-parallel (1:52PM PDT). Even with favorable alignments — like the 60-degree sextile aspect — Saturn can rub you the wrong way and increase limits, frustrations or delays. Therefore, be more cautious and careful as the waning hours of the void lunar uncertainty zone come to pass.  Once the Moon enters fiery Aries (2:30PM PDT), the universe encourages you to be more assertive and to accentuate your leadership credentials across the board. This is emphasized several hours later when the Moon trines the Sun in fire signs (10:14PM PDT). However, Aries Moon can also equate with a build-up of stubborn attitudes and since tomorrow offers many disturbing sky patterns, you should strive to be on your best behavior as tonight morphs into Saturday morning.

Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, July 23rd

We need to push past our personal desires today so we can focus on the realms of community and humanity. The greater good is of higher concern now that the Moon is visiting conceptual Aquarius. Although we’re comfortable in the world of thought, we might seem emotionally distant from others. Nevertheless, we must make choices about what we like and what we don’t like while resourceful Venus is moving through analytical Virgo until August 16.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You might be quite distracted from the emotional issues that have been building over the last few weeks. There is much to say, but you can’t bring yourself to say it. Lately, you are more concerned about what others think of you, so you often change the subject to something less threatening. Get together with trusted friends and share what’s weighing on your heart. Receiving their support will be well worth the risk of revealing your feelings. Nothing ventured; nothing gained.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

You want to be acknowledged for your unflappable behavior, but even if people say wonderful things about you now, you might not be open to what you are hearing. It’s important to be actively engaged with those around you; if praise comes your way, smile and say thank you. Don’t deflect the positive support because of your temporary insecurity or low self-esteem. On the other hand, don’t go fishing for compliments; they mean a lot more when they’re unsolicited. Be the friend you want to have and focus your attention on the happiness of others.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

New opportunities create alternatives today as you think about all the future possibilities waiting for you. Even if you’re still feeling stressed out, the potential for change is improving day by day. But don’t expect circumstances to suddenly transform. Rather, the dreams you hold on to now will begin to take shape gradually. Think big, but try not to be too disappointed if everything takes some time yet to manifest. Remember, Rome wasn’t built in a day.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

You may go through a weird phase this week as you attempt to distance yourself from your feelings in order to cope with what’s happening. Although this sounds difficult, gaining perspective can be quite helpful. Relationships might be easier than they have been for a while, since your current emotional detachment enables you to enjoy yourself without being overwhelmed. Be aware of your desires, but don’t spread them out on the table for others to see. Give yourself time to sort things out before you share them with anyone else.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You roar with all the intent of the Lion or Lioness, but others may react to you now in ways you don’t expect. The high tension between your will and the emotional response that you elicit today might anger you if you can’t have your way. But don’t follow your temptation to turn this into a full-blown argument. If you do, there won’t be a winner. Call on your inner patience today because you’ll most likely achieve your goals if you can wait long enough for others to come around to your point of view.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your ideas may be worth more than anyone perceives, but it’s difficult to get your concepts across at this time. If you are misinterpreted, your tendency now is to inflate your cleverness in an attempt to convince others of your intellectual merit. But the more you say, the less they understand. Loosening the reins of control prevents problems from developing later on. Your best tactic is to communicate as little as possible and let the day take its own course, without feeling the need to control where it leads.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You have lots of energy today to put toward creating enjoyment for you and those around you. You could choose to have a party since that would fulfill your need for spending time with your friends in a spontaneous manner. Also, your creative juices are flowing, so if there’s a project you’ve been putting off, today is the day to get it off the ground. He who hesitates is lost.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Processing your emotions may be tricky if it seems that you have nowhere to go with your feelings. If you express them honestly, you won’t improve your current situation. However, if you try to bury them, you’ll only make matters even worse. Thankfully, there’s an easy solution; simply steer clear of blame. Acknowledge what you’re feeling, but don’t attempt to describe the cause. If you stay in the present moment and remember to be kind, then a difficult situation can magically transform into a beautiful encounter.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Today has all the earmarks of a highly busy day, complete with unusual social encounters. Although you may be looking for meaning as much as you are seeking a good time, the emphasis is on turning your day into an adventure. Of course, you’re nearly always up for a good adventure. However, problems arise if you make too much out of a minor event. If you’re going to the beach for a swim, don’t try to turn it into a Caribbean pleasure cruise.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Even if the emotional turmoil has started to calm down, you still might be embroiled in a bit of a power struggle that upsets you. Unfortunately, you can easily express your frustration at the wrong target, which doesn’t necessarily help you to regain your sense of balance. Instead of focusing on a current situation, look ahead to next week and do whatever you need in order to carry out your long-term commitments. Keeping your eyes on the future gives you the confidence motivation to successfully handle the current situation.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

A close family member or a good friend may be the source of temporary trouble for you now. You feel like you haven’t done anything wrong, but someone still could get angry with you for no apparent reason. You might even see the black cloud coming and try to stop the oncoming storm, but to no avail. Don’t take it all too seriously, for the drama seems so much more important than it really is. Let the emotional barrage roll off you like water off a duck’s back. No worries; the sun will come out tomorrow.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You can drift off into your own fantasy-land these days, but escape might not be such a bad thing now. Others get on your case and try to make you see the folly of your ways but you know there’s treasure to be discovered. Thankfully, there is no harm from taking your little mental holiday as long as you remember the difference between reality and your imagination. Embark on your journey, but make certain you’re back in time to do your chores.

The Royal Babies' Astrology Chart (I just had too!))

The Royal Baby Has Arrived

Exploring the Astrology of England’s future king

Maria DeSimone

Maria DeSimone on the topics of leo, cusp, celebrities, cancer, astrology

 

Its official, Kate Middleton and Prince William have welcomed their newborn prince into the world — a healthy boy weighing in at 8 pounds 6 ounces. His name hasn’t been released yet, but his horoscope is firmly written in the stars. What follows is a brief overview explaining the latest member of the royal family’s potential, as explained by his Astrology.

This royal cusper caused some confusion as many astrologers thought he may be a Leo! But it turns out Wills and Kate’s boy was born when the Sun was in the final degree and minute of the sign Cancer. This 29th degree in Astrology is known as a critical degree and does suggest that this little prince will have a certain amount of karmic responsibility in the domestic arena … no surprise there! Obviously this child was born with significant history and big shoes to fill. Based on the degree of his Sun sign he will surely take his role seriously.

A Full Moon, baby!

At the time of his birth, the Moon was also in the final degrees of Capricorn, right before a Full Moon in Aquarius. For all intents and purposes, the prince is a Full Moon baby which adds to the “fulfillment” role he will have in terms of domestic responsibility. How interesting that his mother was born with the very same opposition between the Sun in Cancer and Moon in Capricorn! Furthermore, there’s a remarkable array of four planets is in the sign Cancer at the time of his birth — and all of them are placed in the 8th House of Deep Transformation. With lucky Jupiter, assertive Mars, and intellectual Mercury posited in this sensitive water sign (along with the Sun), we can be sure that the new prince will have an intuitive and extremely intense mind and character. His memory will be strong and his gut instinct a force to be reckoned with. He will crave privacy and security which may prove troublesome for someone destined to be in the public eye.

Like mother, like son

Another extraordinary link in his chart has to do with the shift of Venus into Virgo on the day he was born. This suggests a soul who will be extremely service oriented and humble. Since Venus is opposite Neptune, he’ll have a vivid imagination and will be prone to idealism. He’ll certainly be someone with great faith! Another fascinating tidbit about the degree of his Venus is that it falls on the fixed star Regulus which is a royal star in Astrology. Many royal figures have planets or angles prominently placed at the 29th degree of Leo or first degree of Virgo. This star literally means “Little King” and will endow the native with a will to reign. He may run into some confusion about how to express his power since Venus does oppose Neptune in the communication axis (3rd House of Communication and 9th House of Big Ideas). However with Venus at a gorgeous angle to Saturn, Jupiter and Mars, he will surely have his heart in the right place.

The Moon in his chart makes a loose, out of sign square to Saturn which will deepen his emotions even more, amplifying the effects of a sober Capricorn Moon.  The authoritative influence in his life may feel overwhelming at times, yet this will also be the catalyst that leads him towards great success. Still, someone with four planets in sensitive Cancer in the deeply emotional 8th house may struggle with this Capricorn Moon square Saturn which demands a stiff upper lip.

A chart fit for a king

Another notable feature of the little prince’s horoscope is the fact that his Mercury placement is at the degree at which it turned direct only two days ago. This is a strong indicator that his mind will be especially clever and sensitive, although with a square to Uranus he may be prone to excitable communication when his emotions are triggered. His Mercury placement is near the fixed Star Sirius (14 degrees Cancer) which tends to bestow one with riches and fame. No surprise there.

Overall, the little prince has a chart of gold. Jupiter applies to an opposition to Pluto endowing him with tremendous power potential so this young man will be much more than a “poster boy” for royalty. Thankfully, the rest of his chart suggests he will use his clout for good.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Tuesday, July 23

The two days after a Full Moon represent a 48-hour time-span to disseminate the light, love and wisdom just received during the illuminating solar-lunar rapport. Venus forming a supportive, 60-degree liaison with Pallas (3:41AM PDT) can give you the right tools for a superb level of problem-solving, strategic thinking, and in-depth research. Brainstorms can also arrive as the Moon in Aquarius connects favorably with Uranus in Aries by a similar 60-degree tie (7:02AM PDT). However, this Moon-Uranus link also starts a 28+ hour void lunar uncertainty zone that lasts until 11:23AM PDT tomorrow when the Moon enters Pisces.  Steer clear of disagreements with dear ones as the Moon makes its monthly union with Juno today at 10:13AM PDT. Be more fashion-conscious and mull over ways to redecorate a favorite room of your residence. Style, beauty and elegance are highlighted.  The most challenging alignment of the day strikes at 1:42PM PDT when the Sun makes a contra-parallel to Pluto. When July began, the Sun and Pluto reached their annual polarity in the zodiac. Now the Sun is 20 degrees north of the Celestial Equator while Pluto is 20 degrees south. The bottom line is that you need a large dose of emotional calm and sensitivity to keep primary partnerships in a state of harmony. Browbeating anyone is a no-no. Praise the merits in significant others, and don’t magnify their faults.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Monday, July 22nd

Our recent enthusiasm lingers, but big changes are already in the air today as lovely Venus shifts into picky Virgo, the Sun moves into lively Leo and the Moon enters futuristic Aquarius at 2:06 pm EDT. The socially aware Aquarius Full Moon at 2:15 pm reflects our concerns for global issues rather than our individual feelings. We must connect our individuality with a group or community but we also need to stay detached enough to remain unique.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

The energy may feel somewhat out of control for you today as your creative juices rise to the surface. Your excitement is irrepressible, and with the Aquarius Full Moon tugging on your 5th House of Love, you’re right on the edge of falling into the passion pit. Now, if this good news was the only news, you would be all set. But it’s not. There is more going on now than meets the heart. Watch your step — exercising caution is more than just a good idea — it’s a necessity.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

If you stubbornly believe that your strategy at work is set in stone, old concerns may come back today with a twist. Someone didn’t tell you everything and now that the Aquarius Full Moon is in your 10th House of Public Life, it’s time to spill the beans. Full disclosure might be upsetting at first, but everyone will feel better once it’s all out in the open. Sharing your truth inspires others to do the same.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

The Aquarius Full Moon falls in your 9th House of Big Ideas, breaking your communication channels wide open. Unfortunately, this expansive energy can be a mixed blessing, for you pick up all kinds of static along with the important data you need in order to make your decisions. There may be some confusing signals from others along the way, so use whatever navigation methods work best to keep tabs on reality. Exploring all your options gives you more choices down the road.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

You Crabs are more connected to the lunar rhythms than others, and as such can really feel the power of today’s Aquarius Full Moon as it floods your 8th House of Intimacy. Let the emotional tides surge with swells of unexpected intensity, but remember that you don’t have to react to every passing mood. If you must express something, do it and then let go of it right away. Too much attachment to your desires now brings complexity to an otherwise beautifully simple relationship.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

The Aquarius Full Moon is especially significant since it stimulates your 7th House of Relationships. This alignment pulls your sense of personal and romantic love right out of your heart and into the world around you. The radiant Sun shifts into your proud sign today, intensifying your reactions to the drama of someone close to you. As difficult as it may be now, stay close while allowing him or her enough room to grow. Although your first instinct might be to run, keep in mind that your feelings will quiet down in just a few days.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You are in touch with a deep urge to seek out new meaning to your life, but your outer world may seem shallow and uninspired when compared to what surges forth from your subconscious. Don’t be afraid of what comes to the surface during routine conversations now that the Aquarius Full Moon lands in your 6th House of Work. You are not required to say out loud what you observe on the inside. But it’s best to listen to your heart while sweet Venus is visiting your sign.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You may be able to make some real progress on accomplishing your career goals these days. In fact, recognition might be coming your way on both the professional and personal front now that the Aquarius Full Moon shines in your 5th House of Love and Creativity. You’re attracting positive vibrations as even the most conventional experiences light up your emotional sky with fireworks. Bask in the limelight and enjoy these next few days without necessarily making any long-term plans.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

It’s essential to express your concerns now as this Aquarius Full Moon illuminates your 4th House of Emotional Security. You may be upset by something that just isn’t very important in the long run. However, don’t suppress your fears; it’s crucial to pay attention to all your mood changes now. If you slip into denial, there might be negative fallout on your performance in the workplace. Don’t take your anger out on someone nearby. Examine what is motivating your feelings and deal with the source rather than the symptoms.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

The Aquarius Full Moon emphasizes your 3rd House of Communication, inspiring you to write that email or make the phone call you have been putting off. Your reaching out has a better chance of having the impact you desire today. You can shine now, but your intensity could overwhelm others — and they might not be able to absorb all that you have to say. Take it slowly; allow everyone enough time to process your words and to respond to them before going on to what’s next.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You’re able to accomplish quite a bit once you set your mind to it. You continue riding high on the surges of energy and yet your feet are planted squarely on the ground. Be careful that you don’t exhaust your resources now that the Aquarius Full Moon activates your 2nd House of Net Worth. Take the necessary time to attend to the basics of your health and be sure to get enough sleep. You can make the most of this time by conserving your available resources while using them as efficiently as possible.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Today’s Full Moon lights up your sign, flooding into every aspect of your waking life. It’s as if your subconscious mind is at high tide. The Moon works primarily in the dream realms, but now its influence overflows into the real world. Welcome the emotional storms that can clear the air. Let the waters wash the beaches as you ride upon larger-than-life waves while they last. Thankfully, you’ll have time to assimilate your experience when the intensity begins to dissipate tomorrow.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may believe that today is your last chance to finish an old project as the Aquarius Full Moon rattles your 12th House of Endings. However, you might just be experiencing another illusion; time is not coming to an end. Nevertheless, it feels overwhelming as you see how much there is for you to do with so little time to get it all completed. Close your eyes and take a few long and slow deep breaths. Then, open them and return to work. Do this frequently during the day and you’ll be surprised at how much you can accomplish.

Your Love Horoscopes for the Week of July 22

Monday is a cosmically busy day as Venus slips into choosey Virgo, the Sun moves into proud Leo and the inventive Aquarius Full Moon casts our feelings in a different light. Romantic desires can be fulfilled when we’re willing to work for love this week. The magical Pisces Moon inspires relationship dreams on Wednesday that are likely to linger with us throughout the weekend. But several tough planetary aspects require us to gain more clarity and complete unfinished business from the past before we’re able to fully enjoy the tender moments that will stir our hearts.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You never know who you might meet when Monday’s Aquarius Full Moon lights up your 11th House of Groups, encouraging you to spend quality time with friends and colleagues. Expect a lively weekend that runs through the full spectrum of emotions and experiences. The Moon blasts into your ardent sign on Friday, drawing the spotlight in your direction and bringing your feelings to the surface. But if you’re too generous or idealistic on Friday, you may have to backtrack and clean up relationship messes on Saturday when an intense opposition of Mars and Pluto triggers both passion and conflict. Love takes work if you want to make it last.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Venus drops in to visit your 5th House of Romance on Monday for a three-week stay, and your heart might be so open that you feel like you can find love around every corner. This positive attitude adds joy to your current relationship or makes it very easy to meet someone new. However, the tone shifts this weekend if you feel under-appreciated for any reason. Standing up for yourself is usually a good idea, but it needs to be done privately to enable an honest exchange without embarrassing anyone. Discretion cultivates trust.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Keeping communication channels open is key to happier relationships now that the radiant Sun has taken up residence in your 3rd House of Information for the next month. Friends can help you fan the flames of romance this weekend with the hot Aries Moon sizzling in your 11th House of Groups. Avoid making a careless comment that may be received poorly on Saturday night. There’s a bit of edginess in the air that can trigger an argument without any notice. A single impulsive remark could open up a well of unresolved emotions, even though the initial issue might be trivial. Sensitivity and self-restraint are recommended unless you’re looking for a fight.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

The unconventional Aquarius Full Moon shines in your 8th House of Intimacy on Monday, giving you an unexpected chance to share your feelings with someone you love. The enterprising Aries Moon occupies your 10th House of Responsibility this weekend, which can put you in a valuable position of authority. But if you try to play mother hen by protecting everyone else, you could wind up in the middle of conflicts that really don’t have much to do with you. Losing time and enthusiasm entangled in minor disputes is not a great idea. Avoid talking about other people’s dramas, so you can attend to your own relationship concerns. Leading by example is your smartest strategy.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

The proud Sun saunters into your 1st House of Self on Monday, attracting plenty of attention your way over the next month. However, the week begins with the Aquarius Full Moon shining in your 7th House of Relationships, temporarily shifting your focus onto those you love. While your mind is wrapped up in aiming toward the future, reality pops up and demands your attention on Saturday night. The Sun, your ruling planet, crashes into a testing square with restrictive Saturn, signaling that you need to get your head out of the clouds and put your feet on the ground. Patience is a must, as is the willingness to honestly face your desires and discuss your fears. This personal disclosure might not sound sexy, but it’s an authentic way to establish trust that enables love to flourish.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Resourceful Venus enters earthy Virgo on Monday, bringing more love and creativity your way over the next three weeks. However, you may be pushed to the limit this weekend with the feisty Aries Moon creating mischief in your 8th House of Deep Sharing. This monthly transit often triggers strong emotional responses, both positive and negative. Yet intensity might rise to uncomfortable levels with pushy Mars’ opposition to provocative Pluto on Saturday night. If conflicts occur, sticking to the subject and keeping feelings in check can produce amazingly effective solutions.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

The irreverent Aquarius Full Moon illuminates your 5th House of Fun and Games on Monday, offering you the opportunity to romance the one you love. Relationships are moving fast this weekend with the impatient Aries Moon traveling through your 7th House of Partners. Romantic feelings are easily stirred as you desire to experience a world of imagination and intimacy. Yet a bit of discretion is advised to help you avoid making choices that don’t really fit your needs. Attraction to a powerful person can be extremely exciting but if he or she lacks compassion, the results may be less than ideal. Now that Venus is hiding out in your 12th House of Privacy, you may want to take a break from the crowd and spend time with one special person or on your own.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Romance can be found in your circle of friends or in a group situation now that Venus is visiting your 11th House of Community for a three-week stay. Your emotional temperature rises on Saturday when your two intense rulers, Mars and Pluto, oppose one another. This can increase anger and desire, a complex combination that’s likely to stir up relationship issues. Bogging down in a power struggle or steaming with resentment does not pave the way to romance. But calmly addressing concerns could lead to meaningful changes that can clear a path for a more fulfilling partnership.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

The bold Leo Sun shining in your 9th House of Adventure for the next month is bound to leave you itching for adventure. Are you ready for romance and fun this weekend? Well, you should be because they’re ready for you. The Moon fires into risk-taking Aries and your 5th House of Amour on Friday to ramp up your enthusiasm for pleasure and play. Getting attention comes easily, but be careful of what and who you attract. There’s so much fantasy in the air that your intentions may be misinterpreted and your judgment a little shaky. Let loose and have fun, but exercise enough moderation so you don’t have any regrets later on.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Venus moves into your 9th House of Big Ideas on Monday to encourage you to spread your wings and explore new romantic territory over the next three weeks. Reason and relationships may not go together very well this weekend. Sudden shifts of moods and fluctuating circumstances can alter your plans without any warning. Instead of fighting these tides of change, you’ll be happier by letting go now and going with the flow. Enjoy each moment without worrying about where it’s taking you. Living in the present may not be your usual mode of operation, but staying flexible and exercising your sense of humor are great ways to find pleasure under stormy conditions.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

The powerful Aquarius Full Moon starts your week off with a bang. Your desire for freedom and hunger for new and different experiences might rattle a relationship or shake up the status quo. The Moon’s presence in independent Aries and your chatty 3rd House this weekend speeds up your thinking and is likely to reduce your patience. Anyone who attempts to coerce or control you could trigger a very strong reaction, so it’s best to back away from conflict unless you’re ready for a major showdown.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your tender heart is wide open to love this week starting when alluring Venus moves into your 7th House of Others on Monday and the Moon slips into your sweet sign on Wednesday. And your taste for romance can expand enormously when your imaginative planet Neptune opposes amorous Venus on Friday. Knowing who and what you want is great if you’re willing to fight for it. A passive approach is unlikely to work with Saturday’s intense opposition of combative Mars and passionate Pluto. Standing up for your truth while still honoring the feelings of others allows your heart to shine.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for July 21

Today should be easier to handle than yesterday. However, it is always important to remember that the major alignments and cycles from a previous 24-hour time-period don’t simply vanish. Instead, they have ramifications for another day or two — at the minimum. Nevertheless, human beings become severely debilitated if they wallow in self-pity rather than dealing with the Now and working cogently with the cosmic offerings of the moment.  Thus, it is helpful to tune into spiritual willpower and mental concentration to turn your life around for the good as the Moon makes its monthly union with Pluto in Capricorn (3:14AM PDT). Utilize your problem-solving skills to enhance your residence and bring estranged relatives back to the bargaining table as Pallas enters Cancer (6:02AM PDT) until September 11.  Keep working hard to reach a career milestone with the Moon transiting through the tenth sign of the zodiac. A distinct challenge arises at 8:54AM PDT (during the monthly Moon-Mercury opposition) as the lunar orb starts another long void twilight zone that lasts until 11:08AM PDT tomorrow when the Moon enters Aquarius. The Full Moon is also tomorrow and occurs just 9 minutes after the Moon glides into the universal air sign of Aquarius.  In the meantime, do your best to be more loving and considerate to dear ones on the ropes as the Sun forms a subtle and yet still supportive, 30-degree link to Venus (5:12PM PDT) while Ceres is parallel to often benevolent Jupiter (10:34PM PDT) — a favorable aspect that can increase your productive output across the board despite the presence of the void Moon.  Get ready for a powerful Mars-Jupiter conjunction at 6 degrees of Cancer at 12:36AM PDT tomorrow.

Friday belongs to Venus, and its energies are warm, sensuous, and fulfilling. Efforts that involve any type of pleasure, comfort, and luxury, as well as the arts, music, or aroma (incense and perfume) works well on this day. As Venus lends its sensuous influences to the energies of this day, use it for any magical work that deals with matters of the heart.

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).
