Daily Cosmic Calendar for December 17th

Organizational themes are a number one concern with the Moon continuing its monthly transit through Virgo. Eliminate non-essentials from cupboards, drawers and closets. Be the efficiency master in the residential and business realms. Out with clutter; in with order. Antique hunters and collectible aficionados are in their glory when the Moon illuminates this sixth sign of the zodiac – associated very strongly with valuable items from the past that have particular or unusual markings, engravings, signatures and historical meaning. Clean-up campaigns are also reinforced to make sure everything shines again with its original essence. When the Last Quarter Sun-Moon Phase arrives (energizing 26 degrees of Sagittarius and Virgo at 4:49PM PST), cut through obstacles on your mental and even spiritual path. Tap into your creative artistry or come from the heart with a primary partner shortly thereafter as a Moon-Venus flowing trine in earth signs provides a loving boost (6:30PM PST). Nevertheless, this Moon-Venus connection also begins a 5+ hour void cycle that lasts until 12:07AM PST on Sunday when the Moon enters affable, airy Libra. It is wise to simmer down emotionally during this void lunar twilight zone. Finish odd jobs and projects with finesse while waiting until the lunar orb enters Libra before launching new, bold initiatives.

Weekend Lunar Love Horoscopes for December 16th – 18th

Weekend Love: Lunar Love

by Jeff Jawer

Work in Progress

December 16 – 18

Love and pleasure are available for those willing to work extra hard this weekend. The practical Virgo Moon favors productivity and pragmatism, leaving romantic fantasies behind and seeking more grounded ways to connect. Collaborating on a project is one way to have fun while taking care of business. Helping a friend or contributing time and energy to a cause in which you believe can be excellent alternative methods for meeting someone special.

Happily, there is a sweet trend on Saturday night when the earthy Virgo Moon aligns favorably with lovely Venus. You don’t need to spend a lot of money or do anything elaborate to tap into the simple pleasures available all around you.

The Moon’s move into the partnership sign Libra on Sunday morning turns the wheel in another direction. Normally, this shift should invite delight and harmonious partnerships but, alas, this may not be the case now. The Moon’s challenging square with manipulative Pluto could undermine trust and bring up old fears from the past. However, this relatively quick moving transit is trumped by a more challenging one: Venus’ square with severe Saturn. You might feel temporarily isolated and unloved, yet the point is not to suffer in silence but to face facts and stoically work harder to earn the affection you want.

Hello Wonderful World! It’s Friday! It’s Friday! Ya-Hoo!

Yule Comments & Graphics
Hello dear friends! It’s Friday! I bet you would have never guessed. Got busy plans for the weekend? Getting those last-minute gifts? Or just starting your Yule and Christmas shopping? I haven’t bought anything yet. For the last couple of years, I have waited to the very last-minute to buy anything. I know what it stems from my daughter (the one that use to tell me I was going to hell all the time) would make comments that I didn’t appreciate about Yule. She got to the point were she would ask me, “Not buying any presents or putting up a Christmas tree this year?” My reply would be, “Yes, when Yule gets closer, I will buy presents and put up the Yule Tree.” I think she associated presents with both Yule and Christmas. So she wanted to know what this “Yule” was all about. I told her and now she doesn’t ask when all the goodies are going to appear. 

 

 But speaking of Yule, this weekend the WOTC will have its’ Annual Yule Edition. This year it is going to be an all weekend event. We will features Yule spells, rituals, home-made gifts, ideas for children, Pagan Yule carols and much more. You will have plenty to read and plenty of ideas to make this a great Yule for you and your family. 

Now On The Magick…….

  

Friday

Magickal Intentions: Love, Romance, Marriage, Sexual Matters, Physical Beauty, Friendship and Partnerships, Strangers and Heart

 
Incense: Strawberry, Sandalwood, Rose, Saffron and Vanilla

 
Planet: Venus

Sign: Libra and Taurus

Angel: Ariel

Herbs/Plants: Pink Rose, Ivy, Birch, Heather, Clematis, Sage, Violet and Water Lilly

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.

  

Spellcrafting For Today

  THE “PERFECT LOVE FOR ME” SPELL

On a Friday, in the waxing phase of the Moon, (from new to just before and including full Moon)
take two long red candles, a piece of parchment, pen and ink, a pie plate (for safety’s sake) and
find a quiet place free from interruptions. Write on one side of the parchment “The Perfect Love For Me”,
and on the other side, draw a semi-circle.
On one of the candles scratch in “The perfect love for me” and on the other, scratch in your name.
Place the parchment in the pie plate with the semi-circle side up.
Place the one candle (in a holder if need be) that has your name on it on the inside of the semi-circle,
the other one (once again, holder okay) on the outside of the circle. Light the candles, concentrating
on your desire for a perfect love. Let it burn for about an hour, snuff them both using a snuffer or your
fingers (do not blow them out) and on each night thereafter, walk the outer candle closer to the center
of the semi-circle, burning the candles for about an hour each night. Once the outer candle is close
to the inner one, take the same pen you used originally and close the circle around the two in a
clockwise direction. Allow the candles to burn out. When done, burn the parchment and save
the ashes and any left over wax in a small bag (preferably red) under your pillow until your love arrives.
As with all magic, you must really desire this, and put that desire into your spell.
Your love should arrive soon. If you only wish someone to date, you can also put that instead of
perfect love on the candle and parchment.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for December 14th

The admonition about Mercury – mentioned in yesterday’s calendar entry – is an important one. New students in astrology or those people who only have a smattering of knowledge of how astrology really works seem to believe that signing key documents, dealing with crucial legal papers and making agreements suddenly becomes simple and easy once Mercury is no longer in reverse – as though it was Mercury’s reversal that was the main impediment to success. The reality is that whether Mercury is forward or backward, all major transits and progressions need to be examined – relative to a person’s complete horoscope – if giant decisions are to come out favorably. Mercury does have much to do with signing a piece of paper, but all the celestial bodies are influential, too, and any or several of them can be detrimental to a significant cause, plan or goal in the works. The best alignment going on during this 24-hour time-period is a Sun-Venus parallel (3:27PM PST). Love vibrations increase in wavelength and social activities look promising. A reminder about parallels as well as contra-parallels is that they are calculated by watching cosmic bodies move north and south of the Celestial Equator. The zodiacal aspects usually reported on occur by noting the main aspects of celestial bodies relative to the Ecliptic – the Sun’s apparent path in the sky, based on our view from the Earth. Later today, Mars forms a tense contra-parallel with Saturn (10:27PM PST). The bright and comforting energy-field ushered in seven hours earlier by the Sun and Venus becomes extinguished as Mars and Saturn act as rowdy mischief-makers. Keep your wits about you overnight and avoid major decision-making to the best of your ability.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Monday, December 12th

If some of your pep and dynamism have been restricted as of late, it might be due to the recent Mercury reversal in Sagittarius that has been in effect since November 23. This doesn’t mean Mercury has been a bad or negative celestial influence – only that it hasn’t been moving in the same direction as the Sun and Moon (the two luminaries in the sky). Once Mercury makes its station tomorrow and returns to direct motion, it is easier for your mental interests and communication skills to line up creatively with your overall character (Sun) and personality expression (Moon). Meanwhile, as Mercury slows down in its retrograde cycle today, you want to strive to maintain productivity across the board as the Sun squares Ceres (3:32AM PST). This largest asteroid – Ceres – has much to do with productivity via its affiliations with Mother Nature, agriculture, gardening, food, diet and nutrition. Fortunately, 7 hours after the Sun moves 90-degrees to Ceres, Venus makes a constructive, 60-degree link to Ceres (10:46AM PST) – helping you stay busy and active with favorite arts, crafts and hobbies. Hit the scientific, metaphysical and astrological books this evening – courtesy of a subtle and yet still supportive, 30-degree tie from Jupiter in Taurus to Uranus in Aries (9:24PM PST). Once Jupiter shifts its retrograde energy-field to direct motion on Christmas Day, it will eventually play catch up with Uranus to form another one of these 30-degree links on January 17, 2012. While the 30-degree aspect is considered minor by most astrologers, it still has the power to give you a lift or breakthrough that can change your life for the better.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Sunday, December 11th

Yesterday’s Full Moon and Total Lunar Eclipse may seem like ancient history, but their vibrations remain potent. The 48-hour time-period after any solar-lunar polarity represents an opportunity to distribute the illuminating energy-field that has just activated the Earth and humanity. How do you sign up to be an erstwhile distributor? There is no group to join – only the awareness of what is happening in the sky just before, during and after every Full Moon. Helping you send out revelations to dear ones and colleagues is a Moon-Neptune flowing trine in air signs (2:25AM PST) followed by a Sun-Chiron 72-degree link (4:35AM PST) and Venus-Uranus 72-degree connection (5:45AM PST). Both 72-degree aspects – based on dividing the 360-degree zodiacal circle by 5 – are high-level, empowering sky patterns. The only challenge partially holding back your efforts this morning is a 3-hour void lunar cycle happening from 2:25AM PST to 5:27AM PST (when the Moon enters its natural abode of watery Cancer). However, once the Moon is swimming happily in the fourth sign of the zodiac, home and family interests rise to the top of the totem pole. Nurturing loved ones is reinforced as the Moon makes a supportive, 60-degree rapport with expansive Jupiter (6:50AM PST) while also forming a harmonious trine of 120-degrees with shaman-like Chiron (7:35AM PST). While communications are somewhat constrained when Mercury forms a frictional, 45-degree tie with Venus (4:57PM PST), Vesta in Aquarius is helping you increase the value of your investments and assets by making a fairly rare trine to Saturn in Libra (11:57PM PST). Learn more about how stock, bond, precious-metal, currency and commodity markets work.

Saturday, December 10, 2011

 
Aries (March 21 – April 19)
Good day to work on your catapult. You never know when it could come in handy. Besides, it’s good to worry your neighbors a bit — keeps them civil.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
You will have a grilled cheese sandwich today, and a bowl of tomato soup. When nobody is looking you will secretly dunk your sandwich.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
A swarm of rats will sneak up on you, and you will be suddenly engulfed in a squeaking, biting, torrent of rabid vermin. Oops! No, ha ha, looks like I forgot about the influence of Venus, didn’t I? Sorry. Hmmm. Ok…actually, today you will have pizza.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
You will begin a bitter and drawn-out battle with a gopher. You don’t stand a chance.
Leo (July 23 – August 22)
Privacy will be an issue today. This may possibly be because a group of foreign tourists will follow you everywhere, smiling and nodding the entire time.
Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
Excellent day to do something new with bean curd.
Libra (September 23 – October 22)
It’s ok to spill the wine today, if you feel you really have to. Under no circumstance should you dig that girl, however.
Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
Remember – every cloud has a silver lining, and every problem is an opportunity in disguise. So next time you see a problem, just imagine it without the fake nose and glasses.
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
An old nickname will surface today, much to your dismay, “Giggles”.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 20)
Good day to put strange labels on your binders and file cabinets, such as “launch codes”, “who’s been naughty”, or “Snerge”. This will be quite effective in distracting visitors, so they will often forget what ever they were preparing to bother you about.
Aquarius (January 21 – February 18)
Today you will be overcome with a sudden strong urge to learn to play a wooden flute while cavorting around in the forest. I recommend you treat those separately at first. You’ll find what you need under “Music, Instruction” and under “Cavorting, Instruction”. Don’t get talked into buying any cavorting supplies, though — they’re really only needed by professionals.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
You will discover a new “5th law” of Thermodynamics. The first law says “you can’t win”. The second law says “you can’t break even”. The 5th law, however, says “never draw to an inside straight”.

Your Daily Horoscopes for December 9th

We ask questions so we can gather more data today, prompted by the curious Gemini Moon. But her opposition to mental Mercury makes it tough to draw any clear conclusions from what we learn because the facts don’t seem to mesh with our feelings. Although we may increase our knowledge, satisfaction is elusive and the Moon’s square to combative Mars puts us in an argumentative mood. However, being right isn’t as important as discovering the truth.
Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You’re being pulled in several different directions today, making it very difficult to choose a course of action. Ironically, procrastination actually seems like a reasonable strategy because it enables you to keep your options open. But your window of opportunity won’t last forever, so don’t delay your decision too long. Unfortunately, your innocence can steer you wrong if you believe that adding more alternatives is now your best bet.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

If your feelings have been overwhelming recently, today’s simplicity goes a long way toward raising your spirits. But it’s not prudent to get too excited before you really know all the facts. Although you may be in an easygoing mood, there’s still plenty of work to do so you cannot afford to slack off. Even if you are distracted by the temptation of avoiding your responsibilities, it’s smarter to stay focused and finish your chores before indulging your desire to kick back and relax.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

The Moon’s current visit to your restless sign lights a fire under you, inspiring you to swing into action. But running into a small obstacle could be enough to quickly change your mind. It isn’t that you’re easily discouraged; it’s that your attention span is now even shorter than usual. You probably won’t be able to keep your thoughts on track today, yet your vigilance does make a big difference. You can still make progress if you keep bringing your focus back to the work at hand.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Your dreams are overflowing into daylight hours as tomorrow’s Full Moon Lunar Eclipse grows nearer, making it challenging to separate your facts from fantasy. Thankfully, you draw great inspiration from your imagination, so don’t try to suppress any flights of fancy. Unfettered thoughts are like kites today; let them soar on your mental currents, but don’t forget that you are holding the string that tethers them to reality.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You get excited by thinking about the future with the Moon visiting your 11th House of Goals, but it’s difficult to tell if your optimism is warranted. Romance may seem quite real now like a carrot dangling in front of you in order to get you moving. But whatever happens, it is a positive development if you are inspired to take care of business today so you will be ready for whatever happens next.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Clarity is elusive today, even if you analyze all the facts before attempting to make a sensible decision based upon logic. You might be so enamored with what you are learning that you continue to collect all the relevant details that you can synthesize. It’s challenging to maintain your confidence, especially if you try to prove your point by throwing more information at the issue. Forget about trying to know what’s right; you will be better off by just following your instincts now.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You are ready to blast off today because you’re so excited about your future. Fortunately, you can use your creativity to transform your intentions into reality. However, it’s not wise to take anything for granted now or your dreams could slip away. Keep your feet on the ground and work extra hard if you want to reach your goals.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You could be feeling anxious today with messenger Mercury and the radiant Sun in futuristic Sagittarius, because you’re not interested in the pie-in-the-sky thinking that’s inviting you to explore the wide expanses. New possibilities appear on the horizon now, yet pursuing them might be risky business — and you don’t like that. Instead of attempting to plan for the unknown, focus on the present moment so you can see your accomplishments on an ongoing basis.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Although you may be feeling stress from a business or personal relationship now, you’re sure these issues can be easily handled. However, your current dilemma stems from the fact that you might not know where your life is leading, so you could skip over a significant predicament. Remember, it’s healthier to face your concerns when they arise or they can become more complex and harder to manage later on.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You’re a little disoriented today, making it tricky to find your balance. Your tendency is to work at a sustainable pace, while attacking each chore with great deliberation. Unfortunately, this tried and true strategy could fall short of your expectations now. Although it sounds counterintuitive, you can increase your efficiency if you stop planning and begin doing. Even if you have a few false starts, it’s still better to find your groove by trial and error.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Although your day may not unfold according to your agenda, it’s not sensible to try too hard to get things back on track today. In fact, sticking to your plan might be a total waste of time that exhausts you without rewarding you with something to show for all your hard work. Instead of driving harder, relax the reins of control but don’t squander this opportunity. Use this time to reconsider your desires and re-evaluate what’s most important to you.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your professional goals are shrouded in mysterious clouds now, muddling your perceptions. You may feel as if your energy is low and fear that you won’t be able to finish your work on time. Unfortunately, you could worry so much now that your productivity suffers. Don’t judge yourself so harshly; you’ll gain a clearer sense of what is going on in your world after the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse tomorrow morning.

Weekend Lunar Love Horoscopes for Dec. 9 – 11

Weekend Love: Lunar Love

by Jeff Jawer

Edgy Energy

December 9 – 11

Buckle up and get ready for a wild ride with a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in jittery Gemini this weekend. The Moon flies into chatty Gemini on Thursday night, stimulating conversations but undercutting concentration. Maintaining focus isn’t easy with this lunar placement as the tumultuous emotions aroused by Saturday’s Full Moon can make you dizzy with diverse thoughts and feelings. This is definitely not the time to make major decisions unless they’ve been carefully considered and now you’re ready to pull the trigger. The atmosphere is highly charged, which can spark impulsive reactions at any moment.

Pushy Mars in orderly Virgo could bring frustration to the surface with its stressful 90-degree square to the Full Moon. Putting edgy energy into constructive projects is one way to apply this force positively. Rebellious Uranus also turns forward this weekend, waking the slumbering forces of radical change. This energetic shift adds another stick of dynamite waiting to be lit on this explosive weekend.

A lunar shift into cuddly Cancer on Sunday morning awakens feelings of vulnerability, yet this caring sign can also inspire you to help someone in need when compassion for others overcomes a sense of personal victimhood.

Uranus Direct for December 9th

Uranus Direct for December 9th

by Jeff Jawer

 

Uranus Direct

Friday, December 9

The coming chill of winter will not cool deep-seated desires for change when revolutionary Uranus turns direct. This planet has been retrograde since July 9, inhibiting the expression of original thoughts. Breakthroughs that have been bubbling under the surface are likely to appear more frequently during the next eight months. Some of them may be brilliantly exciting but many will be disturbing. However, transformation on personal and collective levels, no matter how destabilizing and frightening it can be now, is needed to revitalize and redirect humanity.

Fantastic Friday to you, my dear friends!

Spellcrafting of the Day

 

LOVE SPELL

Get a box and put in it clippings of people you find in magazines that you find attractive
(or parts of those people you find attractive), a red wax heart, a red rose, a rose quartz
gemstone, and a ring. Also, get a red, pink, or green candle (whichever you associate
with love) and anoint it with your own saliva. When this is not lit and placed beside of
the box when you do the magic, it should be kept in the box.
Get a spool of yarn and start tying knots in it, so many that you will be making a whole
poppet/dolly out of the yarn and knots, while you recite what type of person you want,
and their qualities; this is while the candle is burning. When you do not work on the dolly,
put it in the box. This spell usually works in a few days, and you don’t even have time to
finish the dolly but DO NOT throw this stuff away.
Keep it under your bed when not in use and when you meet that Mr. or Mrs. Right.

 

LOVE CHANT

” One to seek him/her,
One to find him/her,
One to bring him/her,
One to bind him/her,
Heart to heart, forever one,
So say I, this spell is done.”

Moon Signs in Everyday Life

Moon Signs in Everyday Life

Make the most of the Moon’s journey

All eyes are on the Moon as we near the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Gemini on December 10. But how much do you know about the Moon and how it affects you? Changing signs every two and a quarter days, the Moon is the fastest moving astrological “planet.”

The Moon represents our emotions, and as it travels through the different horoscope signs, our moods follow suit. We feel best and operate most effectively when we’re cooperating with the energy of the Moon, as indicated by the horoscope sign it’s in at any given time.

Monthly power times

Pay special attention to when the Moon is in the same sign as your Sun sign — these few days of each month are your power times! The tides are flowing in your direction, so you’ll feel more confident and energized, and people are more likely to respond to you positively.

So, if you’re planning to invite someone special out on a date, ask for a raise, go on a job interview or any other task requiring self-assertion and risk-taking, these are the days to go for it.

On the flip side, when the Moon is in the sign opposite to your Sun sign, keep a low profile. (If you’re not sure which sign is opposite, just count six signs away from yours.) Catch up on rest, and do for others rather than expecting things to go your way. Plan accordingly — this is not the time to push it and try to get ahead.

Discover how to make the most of the Moon’s visit to each horoscope sign:

Aries Moon

Get physical! The first horoscope sign calls for action and movement. Go for a run or hike, dance, work out at the gym or find some other way to let off steam. Tempers can rise under this fiery Moon, so find healthy outlets for expression — physical and/or creative. This Moon can light a fire under you to start putting your ideas into action, so take a risk in the direction of your desires.

Taurus Moon

Slow down and take time to nurture your body and the planet. This sensual and earthy sign invites you to appreciate the physical world and the realm of the senses. Walk through the woods, work in the garden, get a massage or play soothing music. This tends to be a mellow, restful and reflective Moon — a time to practice simply being.

Gemini Moon

Call your friends, catch up on emails and chat with the neighbors while the Moon visits the airy sign of the Messenger. Your mind is especially active, even hyper-active, so give it something to stew on. This is an ideal time for taking (or teaching) a class, learning something new and exploring multiple perspectives. Follow your curiosity and keep an open mind.

Cancer Moon

Curl up on the couch with a good book and a cup of tea during this homebody Moon (Cancer is, afterall, the Moon’s home sign). As a sensitive Water sign, the Crab calls for tuning in to your inner world. When you give yourself permission to feel and express your emotions, you’re more likely to avoid the down side of this Moon — crabbiness. Cook a nourishing meal, perhaps inviting a close friend or family member for dinner.

Leo Moon

This fiery Moon wants to play and celebrate. Let your inner child take the lead and do something spontaneous that serves no purpose beyond having fun. The Lion rules the heart, inspiring romance and passion — an ideal time for getting decked out in your most glamorous attire and hitting the town. Creative energy abounds — express yourself!

Virgo Moon

Attend to the nitty gritty details of daily life when the Moon enters this sign of service. Catching up on household chores, organizing the closet, balancing your checkbook — these mundane tasks might sound like a bore, but you feel so much better when you stop procrastinating and get the job done. People tend to be more critical and fault-finding than usual, so pay attention to the little things.

Libra Moon

The Moon in the horoscope sign of the Scales brings attention to what’s out of balance, inviting you to create more harmony in your relationships, environment and inner world. Libra is ruled by Venus, the goddess of love, beauty and the arts. Enhance your appearance with a new hair style or clothes, and plan to socialize. Cultural events and creative activities are especially recommended.

Scorpio Moon

Invite your inner witch or wizard to come out of hiding during this magical Moon, a prime time for casting spells and performing rituals. You’re more tuned into both the invisible realm and the dark side now — including shadowy emotions that require an outlet. Share your deepest feelings with someone you trust. This is not a time to party hearty with the crowds — plan an intimate date instead.

Sagittarius Moon

When the Moon visits the horoscope sign of the Archer, you’re ready for adventure, exploration and expansion. These days are perfect for travel. If you can’t take a trip in the physical world, broaden your intellectual and spiritual horizons by attending a lecture or workshop. Restlessness is common, as your mental arrows shoot out in multiple directions — plan for lots of activity, movement and socializing.

Capricorn Moon

Now is the optimal time to accomplish any ambitious projects requiring hard work, perseverance and pragmatism. For best results, mimic the Mountain Goat — move slowly, cautiously and deliberately as you reach for the top. Don’t let the heaviness and somber tone of this Moon get you down — if you stay focused on your plans and goals, you feel energized and productive.

Aquarius Moon

You’re in the mood for networking, connecting with friends and all group activities when the Moon calls on community-minded Aquarius. Your intuition is heightened, inviting flashes of insight that help you to see your life from a higher perspective. If you’re feeling stuck, this revolutionary Moon wants to liberate you from old ways of thinking and inspire you to make changes that enhance your sense of freedom.

Pisces Moon

During this sensitive and squishy Moon, retreat, rest and reflection are recommended. Your dreams are more active than usual, so pay attention — they may have important information for you. The sign of the Fish activates your imagination and fantasies, offering an ideal opportunity for creative expression, especially music, dance, painting and poetry.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Thursday, December 8th

The clock is ticking louder as we near both the official turnaround of Uranus – from reverse to direct in Aries – tomorrow night while the potent Full Moon (also a Total Lunar Eclipse) will occur the following morning on Saturday December 10. Wow! While last weekend was filled with martial intensity and void lunar uncertainty, there is an extraordinary vibration of high-level genius that is ready to descend on humanity and awakened individuals from December 9 to 11. Meanwhile, the two largest celestial bodies – the Sun and Jupiter – play cat-and-mouse games early today as they make a dicey, 135-degree link (12:44AM PST). Overdoing a good thing and being too self-centered will boomerang. A touch of humility is the right celestial seasoning to start this day. Fashion, style, elegance and beauty are themes some 11 hours later when Venus makes a supportive, 60-degree tie to Juno (11:48AM PST). Check out the latest designs on the apparel, jewelry and art fronts. Your creative imagination and psychic sensitivity can be clicking on all cylinders – thanks to an inspirational, 72-degree tie from the Sun to Neptune (12:03PM PST). Where you may need to slow your tempo in pragmatic business matters is during the void lunar cycle in Taurus that starts at 3:40PM PST and continues until 6:53PM PDT. Complete odds and ends during this 3+ hour uncertainty zone, and then move forward with key communications and literary pursuits once the Moon enters airy Gemini (6:53PM PST). Light-hearted discussions, arts, crafts and beloved hobbies are in the spotlight for the rest of the evening

We can hold the lid on reality today with help from the stubborn Taurus Moon, even as sensuous Venus’ semisquare to dreamy Neptune stimulates our imaginations. Nevertheless, we can maintain our focus on whatever’s happening if we follow the wisdom of the Taurus Moon and keep things as simple as possible. Meanwhile, an otherworldly septile between steady Saturn and wild Uranus can catch us off guard with a surprise if our concentration wanders.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Sometimes you cannot be patient, but fortunately you have the good sense to wait today. You know there are good times to be had, but you’re not prepared to face the stiff consequences of unfinished responsibilities. An intelligent strategy involves setting a pace that won’t wear you out. Working steadily enables you to accomplish your goals, so you can then go out and have a wonderful time without any lingering guilt.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You have an unflappable determination, making it possible to accomplish nearly anything that you set your mind to now. Nevertheless, stating your intention is pointless unless you’re willing to follow through by executing your plan. Your certainty may be unshakeable, but you still might need some help getting motivated today. Don’t try to handle everything on your own; ask your associates to work with you until you gain sufficient momentum.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You may be picking up strange messages from the cosmos today and this could mess with your sense of reality. At first everything seems copasetic, but then something happens to remind you of how much you don’t understand. But rather than wondering about unsolvable mysteries, it’s smarter to concentrate your attention on the tasks immediately in front of you. The simple act of finishing a job now will bring more satisfaction than anything else.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Being around other people stimulates your fantasies today, but an active imagination doesn’t mean that you want to share your thoughts. Your daydreams may be quite vivid, but you could feel unsure of yourself as you also remember a prior experience when your plan didn’t quite make the grade. You might be a little wobbly as you overcome lost confidence. However, there’s no need to act any tougher than you are; leaning on your friends reveals them to be the steady pillars that you need.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Don’t waste any energy doubting yourself today because your intuition is right on track. Unfortunately, your uncertainty could lead you into an argument as you attempt to justify your point of view without the necessary facts at hand. But it doesn’t matter whether anyone understands why you have chosen your current path. Just give your presentation your very best and your friends will eventually see the wisdom in what you do.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

There’s no reason to set your goals very high today, because it’s more important that you reach your destination than it is to tire yourself out attempting to go too far. Your wisdom comes from your practicality, which could mean working less and enjoying yourself more. Don’t worry if your current productivity is less than what you promised; there is more going on now than meets the eye and you’ll make up for lost time in the next few days.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You are motivated today by your strong desire for pleasure, especially within the safe boundaries of an intimate relationship. Although someone might believe that you’re being lazy now, you’re eager to work extra hard if you can see a reward for your efforts. Unfortunately, your attitude may be so out of character that others perceive you as being selfish. Remember, taking care of your own needs is sometimes the best way to replenish your vitality, leaving you with even more to give to those you love.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

A partner or close friend might tell you exactly what he or she thinks you need to know today. You might feel as if everyone’s attention on you is turning a simple problem into a more complex one. Few will doubt your ability to overcome an obstacle, but it’s still difficult to keep everything in perspective now. Don’t become self-righteous or your pompous indignation will only make matters worse. Keep your mind open, even if you don’t like what you hear.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

The Moon’s visit to your 6th House of Well-Being has you thinking about making improvements to your health regimen, diet or exercise program. However, little incremental steps are more efficient now than setting larger changes into motion. Don’t set yourself up for failure by taking on too much at once. For now, thinking small is better than falsely believing that you’re capable of fixing everything at once.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Jolly Jupiter and the Moon meandering through your 5th House of Fun and Games might distract you from firming up your plans today. Your smartest strategy may not be apparent because this is likely to be a counter-intuitive day. If you feel too good, you could grow lazy while justifying your lack of initiative. But this approach isn’t helpful in the long run, even if you can get by without a lot of effort. The real work at hand is to map out your future while your creativity is running high.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may be reflecting on your life now and remembering a plan that went wrong or all the times you failed to meet someone’s expectations. Thankfully, the memories can also make you smile because you can’t help but think about the good times, too. This nostalgic journey could be quite therapeutic and allows you to return to the present moment with an improved attitude and a lighter heart.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

The Moon’s visit to your 3rd House of Immediate Surroundings indicates that your siblings or closest friends might play a very active role in your life today. Allies could easily step in and give you the support you need to feel safe and secure. But don’t take your desire to establish connections too far. If you try too hard, you could inadvertently create a gulf between you and someone special.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for December 7th

Two days ago, Venus in Capricorn and Mars in Virgo linked up via a harmonious, trine pattern of 120-degrees. This creative association of the two main cosmic symbols of the feminine and masculine principles doesn’t occur that frequently. This morning – at 7:03AM PST and then at 10:48AM PST – the Moon in Taurus forms flowing trines, first to Mars and then to Venus. This actually makes a grand triangle in earth signs in the zodiac – an auspicious, geometric talisman that can signify your own success and achievements manifesting in the real world. A Mercury-Pluto parallel (2:53PM PST) adds an exclamation point to the foregoing by simultaneously activating your spiritual willpower and mental concentration. Whether you can pull this off and be eminently fortunate in money matters, business negotiations and career pursuits is not necessarily 100% in the cards because you also need to be in the right place, at the right time, and in the right state of consciousness. In addition, every individual has his or her own horoscope of many celestial bodies that is being impacted daily by what are called transits and progressions (ongoing cycles of the heavenly orbs) that provide the kinds of events that fill our lives in every 24-hour time-period. Remember – as pointed out in this calendar two days ago – that the first of the outer planets (Uranus) is virtually stationary this entire week, but will officially shift from retrograde to direct in Aries on Friday evening December 9. You may be tuning into the Uranian signals of radical change and intuitional awareness even now before the actual station of Uranus in the sky. This is not that unusual as our human minds and nervous systems are much more advanced than we understand at this stage of evolution.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Friday, December 2

Daily Cosmic Calendar

 
 
Easy does it! Don’t let this be the start of a long, lost weekend. If you are temporarily singing the blues, chalk it up to the First Quarter Sun-Moon Phase (activating 10 degrees of Sagittarius and Pisces at 1:53AM PST) while the Moon in Pisces opposes Mars in Virgo (2:03AM PST) and – last but not least – the Sun in Sagittarius squares Mars in Virgo (5:09AM PST). Antagonizing dear ones for any reason is taboo. Say no to rash behavior and keep your distance from signings and legal matters. Use words to heal – not harm. By 10:07AM PST, the Moon in Pisces is void with this twilight zone lasting until 5:52PM PST on Saturday. It is wise to finish old business on a high note during the void time-period and leave bold, new plans for after the Moon enters fiery Aries tomorrow. Meanwhile, change is definitely in the air as many alignments during the void time-span can equate with various ups and downs. Look at this list: Venus makes an inspirational, 72-degree tie to Saturn (1:34PM PST); the Moon parallels revolutionary Uranus (3:08PM PST); Venus makes a 30-degree link to Pallas (3:15PM PST); the Moon forms its monthly union with Ceres (6:52PM PST); Venus makes a frictional, 45-degree connection to Vesta (8:39PM PST); Mercury makes a 30-degree link to Juno (9:31PM PST). Because Venus is involved in three of these aspects and Venus united with Pluto yesterday, try to stay on an even keel emotionally in your most important relationships. Utilize the Moon-Ceres merger to enhance your rapport with maternal figures and shift your diet on to a higher level in terms of nutrition. Dance the night away as the Moon in Pisces can give you happy feet.

Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday, November 30th

The emotionally detached Aquarius Moon lures us into social activities because it’s easy to avoid personal feelings by losing ourselves in a crowd. We can participate in a group of like-minded individuals, while still maintaining a certain amount of anonymity. But we could make commitments that are difficult to fulfill, especially if we’re involved with political action as retrograde Mercury forms a stressful sesquisquare with overblown Jupiter.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may be ready to celebrate if your future is looking brighter these days, but make sure that your imagination isn’t playing tricks on you now. Anyway, it isn’t necessarily a good strategy to focus your attention on what’s around the next corner when there is plenty to be done in the present moment. Today’s most intelligent course of action is to take care of your current obligations, without getting distracted by anything else.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You are ready to try something new because it’s apparent that sticking to your old plan won’t help you reach your goals. However, you’re still tempted to play it safe as your fear of failure encourages practicality. Nevertheless, you’ll do better today if you can overcome self-doubt and take a calculated risk. You could miss an important opportunity if you don’t seize the moment and give it your best shot.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You are quite clever at dancing around a decision in order to get out of making a commitment. Nevertheless, concentrating your attention on a singular goal could be your best possible move today. Normally, you excel at keeping several options open so you can wait until the very last moment before picking one. However, the sooner you choose now, the better your chance of success in your endeavors.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

The idea of being intimate with a special person may sound more attractive than actually doing it, because you might feel uncomfortable if you get too close to others today. It isn’t that you want to be isolated; you just need a bit more breathing room now. Maybe you’re not happy with your current situation and temporarily withdrawing is easier than confronting the truth. However, you can learn something significant about yourself by leaning into your fears instead of avoiding them.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Although you think that you’re moving through calm waters today, there’s still a large storm brewing on the horizon. Thankfully, you can prepare yourself so you won’t be caught off guard as the winds whip up and the seas grow rougher. Actually, you’re almost eager for an opportunity to show off your high level of competency. Ultimately, if you don’t become complacent, this growth experience can raise your profile and your self-confidence.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Normally you’re very focused and your ability to concentrate on the details helps you work efficiently. However, it could be more challenging today to bring your grandiose visions down to earth. You’re tired of having to be the one who is always practical and you want your imagination to lift you out of your current rut. Luckily, you can make magic now if you give yourself permission to be creative without worrying about the outcome.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You’re eager to discover new ways to enjoy yourself now with the non-conformist Aquarius Moon hanging out in your 5th House of Love and Creativity. Her indulgent semisquare to sensuous Venus makes it even harder to follow social etiquette. Nevertheless, you know that rude actions are unacceptable. There’s nothing wrong with seeking pleasure, but don’t overstate your needs or overstep the limits of good behavior.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You may be highly opinionated today so you need to be careful how you express yourself. It’s easy to put so much intensity into your words that others mistake your passion for anger. Fortunately, concentrating on the bigger picture frees you from any perceived negativity. Allowing for a variety of personal preferences now connects you with a more universal vision that inspires those around you.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You appear so clever today that you can amaze your friends and co-workers with your inspirational thoughts. But turning your visions into something tangible is quite challenging, especially if you’re off to the next great idea the moment after you share the previous one. Proving your intelligence could backfire now if you don’t take sufficient time to apply your common sense to your actions.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may have an easygoing attitude about your obligations today, but you’re not likely as disengaged as you appear. It’s just that you are trying to balance your ambitions with more spiritual goals. You want some time to yourself for contemplation, which encourages you to be more sympathetic to other people’s needs, too. Ironically, this cooperative spirit enables you to accomplish even more in the long run, for it increases the good feelings between you and your associates.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You are motivated to be productive, yet you also want to take time and enjoy the camaraderie between you and your workmates today. However, this is tricky territory, for the Moon in your sign adds subjectivity and makes it harder to maintain a healthy perspective. It’s tough to know where to draw the line between work and play. Ask someone you trust for advice, but make sure you heed the feedback you receive.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your dreams usually guide you better than the facts, but you need to be very careful before following your intuition today. Take time to corroborate your hunches with someone else because you can be certain that you know what’s happening, only to discover that you missed an important piece of information. Your imagination is still a significant source of inspiration; just remember to do a reality check before jumping to any conclusions.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for November 30th

Be more creative with literary pursuits in the early hours – thanks to a Moon-Mercury 60-degree alliance (5:37AM PST). Mercury continues in its reversal in Sagittarius, but is still active today as it makes a frictional, 135-degree link to giant Jupiter (11:35AM PST) and an inspirational, 72-degree rapport with far-out Neptune (3:17PM PST). Of these two mercurial connections, the one to Jupiter is clearly the most challenging since it can equate with temporary snafus on the communication and transportation fronts. However, Mercury in league with psychic-imaginative Neptune can provide you with a slew of revelations. Meanwhile, the investment picture is turned on and glowing since the Moon makes its monthly union with Vesta in Aquarius (4:24PM PST). From the positive perspective, this signals an opportunity to learn much more about how stock, bond, commodity and precious-metal markets work. In addition, with the Moon in conjunction with Vesta, it makes sense to focus attention on improving safety and security measures around your home and business. Communicate with key female figures or soul-sisters in your circle of relatives, associates and friends. Gear up for a rousing and intense start of December 2011 since the Moon unites with dream-weaver Neptune tomorrow morning followed shortly thereafter by the annual Venus union with Pluto. You need to be very alert, clear-minded and down-to-earth as November morphs into December.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Tuesday, November 29th

Daily Cosmic Calendar

 
 
During the last two days of November, the universe appears to be backing you up to an extraordinary degree. The tempestuous days of last week may seem like an old memory and the upcoming challenges that will strike during the first four days of December are still waiting in the wings. Between today and tomorrow, today receives the greater potential glory. Aquarius Moon is highlighting the need to focus more attention on group projects, team sports, community participation, and global causes close to your heart and mind. Pallas is a big and positive influence as the Sun in Sagittarius forms a supportive, 60-degree rapport with this wisdom-magnifying asteroid in Aquarius (9:40AM PST) while the Moon merges its energy-field with Pallas at Noon PST. Add on a highly constructive, 60-degree alliance of the Moon and Sun (12:10PM PST), and there are several hours when you can demonstrate your problem-solving skills with a flourish. Pallas super-strong can also give you a boost with strategy-sessions, research, and enhancing the power of your immune system. Try your luck at playing chess, backgammon or a favorite card game. Keep a notebook nearby your bed overnight to record Technicolor dreams and nocturnal soul-wanderings as the Moon parallels Neptune (10:34PM PST). The Moon linking up with Neptune can also stimulate your urge to improvise on a favorite musical instrument, experiment with a video camera or imagine new dance routines.
