Amorous Venus’ return to her earthy home sign is a celebration of sensuality and simple pleasures. A more leisurely romantic pace allows love to grow with comfort and ease. Accepting ourselves as we are increases self-worth and the ability to attract who and what we desire. There is, though, a risk of becoming self-indulgent, overly possessive and stuck in old patterns that make it more difficult to adapt to new experiences or accept change in relationships.
The Moon’s entry into gracious Libra on Friday morning should signal ideal conditions for romance. This is the relationship sign that’s so good at being sweet, sociable and accommodating to others. Indecision is an occasional issue for this well-balanced sign, but now there are other planetary pressures that complicate the emotional landscape.
The Moon is opposed by unruly Uranus and squared by ornery Pluto on Friday, ruffling feathers and rattling cages. It’s easy to be upset by unexpected events, radical shifts of mood or a profound sense of alienation. It’s best to keep things simple as this may reduce the likelihood of relationship complications. Breaking free of old habits and pushing back against bullies and manipulative people are potential positive points of this cosmic environment.
Saturday’s planetary energy is somewhat quieter, allowing for the more desirable aspects of the harmonious Libra Moon to shine. Collaborating on ideas with an open mind and sharing feelings with an open heart are among its gifts.
Sunday tells a very different story with the Moon’s shift from objective Libra to passionate Scorpio in the morning. It’s a great day to indulge the senses, as lovable Venus dances into her earthy home sign Taurus and mental Mercury quickly follows to reinforce our need for comfort. Scorpio hungers for deeper connections, driving us to push harder for what we want and, perhaps, to be more upset about what we’re missing. Still, the Mercury-Venus shift into easygoing Taurus is a reminder to enjoy the simple beauty that surrounds all of us. Celebrating the intrinsic value of oneself and experiencing joy in the simple pleasures brings a bit of balance to Scorpio’s inferno of desire and could end up making this a very sexy day.
Use Thursdays for spells for career, justice, prosperity, leadership, creativity, Marriage and all partnerships, whether love or business, and for male potency.
Where possible, work on a hillside, moorland or near a natural sacred site.
The perfectionist Virgo Moon requires precision in our perceptions and our communications. But it won’t be easy to stay focused today, even if the Virgo Moon filters out some of the noisy distractions. Paradoxically, impulsive Mars forms a cooperative sextile with foggy Neptune, muddying the clear waters with murky fantasies. Although objective logic is warped by our subjective dreams, a harmonious Sun-Moon trine enables us to maintain balance.
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
You are normally reluctant to show your vulnerability, often covering it by initiating action instead of waiting for something to happen. But your ruling planet Mars slipped out of your sign yesterday, leaving you open to someone’s harsh criticism. Thankfully, witty Mercury and charming Venus come to the rescue today by overriding any self-doubt. Talking your way out of a difficult situation is admirable as long as you also remain open to what others say.
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)
Although the days keep getting busier and busier, you are becoming more adept at blocking out the excess noise. The choice is yours; you can also walk away instead of engaging in all the commotion. Make use of the time you gain by relaxing in a quiet space. Meditating or daydreaming can help you recharge your batteries today. If you’re lucky, you might not even be missed when you slip away for your little escape.
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)
You may reconsider your previous plans for the day because you might want to add even more activities to your schedule. However, it’s possible to take the power of positive thinking too far today. Your blind optimism could tempt you to overcommit, letting others down and leaving you discouraged. Be cautious; managing your time wisely enables you to accomplish more than you thought possible and could even prevent an unnecessary disaster.
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)
Although you have more confidence about a recent career decision today, you aren’t as driven to reach your goal immediately. Your newfound certainty allows you to cut yourself some slack and take it a bit easier for a day or two. But don’t stretch this little break too long or you could fall behind. Set your long-term goals now and work at a pace that enables you to sustain your efforts.
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)
You have grown quite content recently to enjoy simple pleasures whenever you get the chance. You don’t need to tell everyone about your inner process, so keeping your feelings to yourself today will serve you well. However, you have things to do now and it would not be wise to put off your current obligations. Instead of hurrying through your tasks so you can relax later, try moving slower and taking the time to smell the flowers and savor the coffee along the way.
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
The Moon’s entry into your sign today places you in touch with a feeling that you may have attempted to avoid. You’re not interested in being the leader now and prefer to be just another person in the crowd. But let’s face it; everyone isn’t as committed to perfection as you are. Fortunately, you’re able to work well with others by relaxing your exacting performance standards. Sometimes it’s more important to just get the job done.
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
You may be concerned about making a decision that has a direct impact on others at work and you’re not willing to determine the outcome on your own. Normally, you would just take a few steps back and let someone else assume leadership responsibility. But it might be impossible to pass the buck today; check in with your intuition before speaking up and committing to a plan.
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
Don’t waste too much time with analysis today because rational thinking won’t bring you the best answers. The realms of thought can only take you so far. Instead, trust your intuition now because your psychic radar is right on track. Don’t try to explain your decisions to anyone; just listen to your gut.
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
You seem to be enjoying yourself today as loving Venus and talkative Mercury both party with your key planet Jupiter. Still, you may be slightly worried that you’re missing something very important. Go about your regular business, but take a bit of time to make sure you don’t glide over unexpressed feelings that need to be addressed. Put away your clever one-liners and move past your own resistance to explore deeper and more personal issues.
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
Someone may be very attuned to you today, but you could be so busy working toward your goals that you don’t even notice. However, connecting with others can make a big difference, so don’t fearfully withdraw because you are worried about appearing vulnerable or dependent. Take the initiative and share your concerns with a trusted friend. You may be pleasantly surprised by the positive reaction to your disclosure.
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
You are actively engaged with your immediate environment today and everything seems to be fine as long as you don’t stop moving. You may believe that you don’t have time to get bogged down by your emotions. However, slowing down long enough to consider the meaning of what’s happening in your life might be the smartest thing you can do. Fortunately, once you are back in touch with your feelings, everything will seem better than it was earlier in the day when you were stuck inside your head.
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
Although you might be feeling more content today, your life is busier than you prefer. It’s okay to be satisfied with your recent job performance, even if someone is on your case now because you didn’t pay enough attention to the details on a project. Thankfully, your happiness isn’t dependent on external events or the opinions of others. Integrating your own values into whatever you do is more important than receiving approval from anyone else.
Energetic Mars moves into plodding Taurus today, helping us slow down and set a pace that improves our chances of actually reaching our goals before we burn out. Meanwhile, the Moon’s entry into analytical Virgo adds logic to our thinking process. The emphasis on practical Earth signs (Taurus and Virgo) helps keep us grounded, but we’re still tempted to indulge our senses as mental Mercury and sweet Venus join joyful Jupiter to lift our spirits.
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
You can sense the change in energy as your key planet Mars leaves exciting Aries for the more restful ground of Taurus. But your hopes are still running high because you feel lucky. And even if things don’t fall your way today, you’re able to set aside your expectations and enjoy yourself anyhow. If boredom turns to dissatisfaction, come back to the present moment where you can change your attitude and upgrade the entire day.
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)
You might break out in spontaneous fits of laughter today. Your key planet Venus receives a boost of confidence from boastful Jupiter, making it tough to be too serious. You aren’t necessarily interested in hiding your glee now, but you don’t necessarily want to flaunt it, either. Keep in mind that it’s all about your attitude. No one will find fault with you for feeling good as long as you try to share your positive energy with your friends.
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)
You are wrapped in a series of lovely social encounters today, yet something can still hold you back from fully enjoying yourself. Since you often keep your options open until the last minute, perhaps you are scared of getting stuck. Unfortunately, your fears have the power to prevent you from being really happy; don’t let your negative thoughts hijack an otherwise positive day.
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)
It’s hard to trust what you hear today because everyone is prone to exaggeration during the Mercury-Venus-Jupiter conjunction. You might want to believe that what you’re being told is true, yet your instincts also tell you that something isn’t quite right. It all sounds a little too perfect, especially once you consider that your insecurities could make for an unnecessarily hard judge. If you let go of your fears and be open to what happens, you may be pleasantly surprised.
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)
You should be happy with your production today as long as you can concentrate your attention on your goals. But you could end up blaming others for your own lack of focus if you don’t get much work finished. Remember that there are a variety of ways to measure success and you might make significant progress now without having the results to show for it.
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
You are still running on the buzz of a creative high, yet you may be content now to take a nature walk, stroll through a museum or listen to a new band. Unfortunately, no matter what you do, the inspiration must ultimately come from within. Therefore, you will be happier today if you don’t avoid the hard work of making something yourself. Sharing your gifts with others could feel like a heavy responsibility unless it comes from the heart.
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
You are quite upbeat about a relationship that might have had you feeling down only a few days ago. Thankfully, luck is on your side now as your key planet Venus aligns with jovial Jupiter. Nevertheless, over-confidence can make things tricky if you follow your bliss without thinking about someone else’s feelings. As always, it’s smart to ask others what they want before forging blindly ahead with your plans.
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
This is a propitious day to begin a major project because whatever you do now will likely be blessed. Although wealth and happiness may be temporary, today’s joyful Venus-Jupiter conjunction makes the material world more tempting than usual. Your willpower is on the line, so keep striving toward living the kind of life you want to lead without letting extravagant behavior pull you off course.
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
You are likely to exaggerate the facts today as your key planet Jupiter magnifies talkative Mercury. You could become obsessive about an idea that seems important enough to take over your whole day. But practicing a bit of sensible restraint may be enough to prevent you from going overboard. It’s not necessary to go to the other extreme by pushing away a potentially enjoyable experience. Just be smart and establish limits so you don’t get into trouble later for forgetting to stop.
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
Your friends might think that you’re overreacting by turning a molehill into a mountain today. However, you are much more stable than you sound. There are two entirely different perspectives unfolding now. The first is about your eagerness to try nearly anything new. The other story is about your unflappable determination. Remember, there is a calm you can find when you dive deep beneath the rough waters on the surface.
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
You may feel invincible today, but your secret weapon is safe from the inquisitive minds of others. This anonymity is because your current power stems from your subconscious mind that’s beyond the sensory perceptions of anyone else. Although you may be tempted to explore these hidden non-physical realms, don’t lose touch with the real world in the process.
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
You might be confused by your current optimism today, especially if others seem to be critical of your new plans. You don’t understand their negativity and may respond by placing more credence in hope than in hardcore planning. However, attending to details now should pay off. If you can keep your unrestrained enthusiasm in check, you have an excellent chance to make some money and even have a bit of fun along the way.
This alignment of the planets of love, intellect and expansion sparks bright ideas, romantic impulses and social engagements. Stimulating conversations ignite big plans that will require more careful research before we can be sure of their viablity. It’s easy to become enthusiastic with new people and social situations and quickly cook up inventive recipes for fun. Joy flows easily as clever words sound witty, brilliant and completely original but they will need the fuel of commitment for these sparks to catch hold and keep burning after the initial excitement fades.
Magickal Uses: Myrtle has long been considered a “love” herb. A chaplet of fresh leaves and flowers worn on the head while performing love spells is highly appropriate. Myrtle is added to all love sachets and spells, especially those designed to keep love alive and exciting.
Myrtle is also worn to increase fertility, but interestingly enough it is also worn at weddings by brides to ensure that they do not quickly become pregnant!
Myrtle wood, when carried, preserves youthfulness. A cup of myrtle tea, drunk every three days, will doo the same, but it must be drunk every three days without fail.
When carried, myrtle preserves love. If grown on each side of the house, love and peace will reside within, and it is a lucky plant to grow in window boxes, if it is planted there by a woman. Myrtle is also used in money spells.
Heat is added to the five planets already in reckless Aries with the Moon’s shift into fiery Leo at 5:35 am. Additionally, friendly Venus conjuncts chatty Mercury in Aries, provoking us to talk about what we want in a very direct manner. Normally, this action-packed combo would push unspoken secrets out into the open. But mystery prevails as Mercury and Venus form otherworldly septiles with mystical Neptune, emphasizing the magic of the unknown.
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
Although Monday means back to work for many, playtime is still on your mind today and you might mislead yourself into thinking that you can escape your responsibilities. Unfortunately, it may be difficult to get any wind in your sails, so don’t be intent on reaching your destination immediately. If you are too eager, your frustration could quickly become problematic. Consciously slow down, instead; enjoy your experiences as you flow in the prevailing currents.
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)
Your obsession with one of your creative fantasies won’t likely become a problem today if you can separate fact from fiction. Make use of your imagination to dream about the life that you want to live. Fill in the details of your vision, but don’t share them with anyone else just yet. Allow the process to develop naturally on its own without focusing too much on the outcome.
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)
You may feel as if the day is unfolding like an episode of ‘The Twilight Zone.’ It’s challenging to tell where your strange dreams turn into reality. You would prefer being in control now, but the harder you try to keep things from falling apart, the worse it gets. Nevertheless, you may want to prove your competence by making a dramatic gesture. Fortunately, you might just pull off this grand illusion as long as you don’t start believing your own hype.
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)
Your mood lightens today once the Moon leaves your sign to zoom into fun-loving and lively Leo. But you may still try to cling to unresolved emotions from the past. Attempts to communicate your feelings could keep you spinning in an endless loop. Don’t rely on logic now; act in the moment without worrying too much about the consequences.
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)
The Moon returns to melodramatic Leo today, tempting you to demonstrate your feelings openly. Luckily, you don’t expect anything in return for your performance because the feedback you receive now probably won’t be too helpful, anyway. Unfortunately, no one seems to have a clear sense of your intentions. Stay true to yourself and honor your own feelings more than everyone else’s.
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
You may attempt to let loose today, even if you can’t afford to flirt with the edge. The problem is that you must stay singularly focused on your responsibilities over the next week. Unfortunately, your normal powers of analysis could leave you cold because you cannot make sense of what’s happening now. Thankfully, things become less complex once you acknowledge that you don’t even know the part you are playing, let alone the script.
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
You are being challenged to find a workable balance between your desire to hang out with your friends and the need to handle other more pressing responsibilities. You would rather ignore the limitations that stern Saturn continues to place on you, but there’s no easy way to avoid your current obligations. Nevertheless, you’re not that willing to write off your social life. Thankfully, you can get a lot accomplished in a short amount of time now, allowing you to enjoy yourself later in the day.
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
The dramatic Leo Moon draws you into the spotlight while enabling you to feel good about the recognition. You are usually adept at hiding your needs, but today you might just put them out there for all to see. However, even when you tell it like it is, there’s still mystery around your motivation. Others want to know what’s going on beneath the surface and they won’t be fully satisfied until they do. Remember, it’s not your responsibility to address their issues by saying any more than is necessary.
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
Today’s showy Leo Moon connects with your own expressive nature, happily creating a successful formula for you. However, you can’t get away with a lot now and you may have to work extra hard to meet your obligations. Others around you might have unrealistic expectations because they are seeking a leader and are unclear as to your current intentions. Take the time to be meticulous when explaining your plans to everyone else.
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
Life seems overly complicated, especially if you’re eager to swing into action and do something exciting today. Unfortunately, you probably won’t be able to act on your own now. There may be a complex thread of interrelationships that prevents you from saying too much about anyone else. It’s wise to temporarily acquiesce to someone else’s authority, so keep your feelings to yourself for a while longer.
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
Others may not understand or appreciate your strange behavior today and your dance could become one of avoiding the truth. But even your most direct approach could get lost in your foggy mental landscape. Your friends might believe that you are being contentious now, but you’re not. Remember, you can still play well with others even if you’re marching to a different drummer.
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
You want to demonstrate your compassion, but your actions might miss the mark today. Thankfully, it’s not that your aim is wrong; it’s more about your lack of certainty. You may even feel as if you’ve been blindfolded and led on a wild goose chase. There’s no need for grandiose gestures; it’s the small acts of kindness that everyone will remember the most
The tentative Cancer Moon highlights our uncertainty about having too much forward movement in our lives. We may worry about other people’s reactions and could be tempted to slow down or even retreat. However, when we stop to consider someone else’s feelings, five impulsive Aries planets push us ahead again. Still, the Moon’s discordant square to the Aries planetary cluster makes action as uncomfortable as inaction. Middle ground is hard to find.
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
You mean well, but sometimes others still perceive you as being insensitive. However, today you are so connected to the moods of those around you that you might attempt to fix a difficult situation in order to make everyone feel better. You could appear to be someone’s champion at first, but assuming responsibility for another person’s emotions can lead to dependency issues and power struggles. Be a good friend without taking over.
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)
You can take a good feeling too far now that the Moon squares your key planet Venus and excessive Jupiter. Unfortunately, you probably won’t get away with overdoing anything today because instant karma is lurking just around the corner, ready to make you pay the price for ill-considered behavior. It is wise to acknowledge your limits prior to going over them. Don’t do anything you might later regret.
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)
It’s been challenging to relax lately, but you will find your groove today, even if it’s a bumpy ride along the way. You are able to better comprehend what works for you, inspiring you to focus on your skills, rather than on your weaknesses. Pay attention so you know when to call it quits. Remember that taking the smartest idea to an extreme can turn the feeling of a job well done into one of dissatisfaction. Observing the emotional weather helps you to know when to stop pushing.
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)
Your emotional needs can be quite overwhelming now that the Moon is visiting your sign. Fortunately, you shouldn’t have too much of a problem requesting something that you want. However, you could create trouble if you demand too much. Even if you don’t ask for anything, you may feel frustrated because you want more than you receive. But this isn’t the best time to be overly needy. Instead of being melodramatic, be grateful for the blessings you already have in your life.
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)
Your recent creative cycle may be coming to an end, elevating the significance of current events. It’s crucial to complete unfinished projects prior to beginning something new. Exercise caution because you might overlook what’s really happening; being eager for success is not the same as idealizing a new opportunity. You will be best served now by seeing things as they truly are and not as you would like to see them.
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
Although you truly want to meet your obligations while still responding to changing dynamics at work, you could grow tired of office politics and decide not to engage in the games any longer. But your emotional withdrawal is a very powerful statement on its own, for nearly everyone understands that you normally analyze all the possible moves before deciding what to do next. Make sure not to burn any bridges today that you might want to cross in the weeks ahead.
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
You have mixed feelings about a significant relationship now. You are ready to take charge and do whatever is necessary to reach your goals. On the other hand, you are weary of feeling like you’re doing all the work. Either way will probably leave you wishing that you just listened to the other voice. The easy solution, however, is to keep busy in your pursuit of success without expecting too much from others.
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
It seems as if everyone is telling you something different now and you want to benefit from each and every point of view. However, it’s challenging to find the right balance between relying on your own experience and learning from others. Ironically, you can best see what’s around the corner now by using your intuition, instead of seeking another perspective. Although it’s usually an advantage to have multiple points of view, today your own opinion counts more than anyone else’s.
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
You may be extremely enthusiastic about several different projects that are coming to a confluence at the very last minute. But the Moon squares your key planet excessive Jupiter now, luring you into a delicious trap that may appear better than it is. There’s no cause for panic; it’s wiser to act with a well thought-out plan tomorrow than with reckless abandon today.
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
The Moon’s visit to your 7th House of Partners can bring a highly emotional person to the forefront of your life today. And this may not be such an easygoing relationship now, for you might feel as if someone’s toying with your heart. Attempting to reach a compromise or even bringing in a mediator can raise the stakes on a developing power struggle. It’s your choice, so take the high road and disengage from all disagreements. Stepping back might be the simplest answer of all.
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
You may feel as if you’re in the midst of intense passions today, tempting you to seek solace in a more intellectual platform, for that is where you naturally excel. Unfortunately, the Sun’s semisquare to your key planet Uranus emotionally charges your actions and quickly pushes you to the edge of discomfort. Indulging your senses appears enticing, but it’s actually a distraction from the real work at hand.
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
Your creative process receives an energetic boost today when the Moon dynamically squares visionary Jupiter, your traditional ruling planet. Your active imagination is temporarily freed from fear and other emotional constraints, so your fantasies can take you nearly anywhere. Don’t dwell on the negatives; dream about all the amazing possibilities, instead.
Emotions hover close to the surface this weekend with the Moon in the supersensitive sign of Cancer. This is Luna’s home sign, making feelings stronger and ups and downs more likely. Generally, the nurturing Cancer Moon is good for familiar places, home cooking, cuddling, nostalgia, old movies and all those sweet protective things that make us feel safe.
Friday looks mellow until late at night when the cautious Cancer Moon crashes into an explosive 90-degree square with unsettling Uranus. This planet of shocks and surprises doesn’t flow well with tender Cancer, making this a time when flexibility is essential. Sudden changes of plans and moods don’t foster a sense of intimacy, although a wild night or impulsive fling with an inappropriate person can seem compelling to some.
The road doesn’t look any smoother on Saturday, starting with a snarky Moon-Pluto opposition in the morning and continuing on with a tense lunar square to Saturn later in the day. These transits are more about digging into the depths of our emotions, bringing unresolved issues to the surface or burying them with distractions and denial. Yet this can be a productive day for those willing to tackle tough problems. This cosmic atmosphere lends itself more to responsibility than playfulness as even minor concerns could block out the Sun with dark clouds of doubt.
Several stressful lunar transits give us a lot to talk about on Sunday and, if we’re honest about our feelings, barriers to intimacy could be blown away. Making a fresh start within ourselves and with others is a worthy reward for all this hard work.
We are still experiencing the excitement of what’s new in our lives since five planets are in pioneering Aries. However, the Sun is in practical Taurus, motivating us to finish what we start. But today’s jittery Gemini Moon speeds up our thinking so much that we may become too scattered to stay focused. Thankfully, a midday lunar trine to realistic Saturn might help us temporarily filter out the excess noise so we can actually get some work done.
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
It seems as if your hectic life keeps getting busier and busier. As much as you enjoy the hustle and bustle, you are looking forward to a quieter time. However, it won’t likely happen today. Fortunately, the fast pace feels good; you don’t have time now to worry about what’s not going right. Nevertheless, pick one task out of everything that’s on your plate and focus on it with all the determination that you have. The results may be more satisfying than you expect.
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)
You may feel as if your finances are a bit uneven today, even if nothing much has changed recently. But you probably won’t share your insecurities with others now, for you might believe that giving a voice to your fears will only make them worse. You don’t have to dwell on the negatives; take positive action instead — even if it’s as minor as paying a few bills. Anything that gives you a sense of control will help to ease your stress.
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)
Your friends may think that you’re not very grounded now that the Moon is moving through restless Gemini, but you are more stable than you appear. Nevertheless, your moods can fluctuate at a rapid rate today, so try keeping your opinions to yourself for a while before sharing them. Instead of running all over the map, speak your piece later on once you’re sure of what you want.
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)
There’s no need for you to push so hard at work now, especially if you have been focused on your career ambitions all week. It’s not that you can just take the day off, but you can keep your best ideas to yourself for a few more days, giving them a chance to mature. If you share too much of your current thinking today, others may stop listening. Let your patience work in your favor and give your strategy time to develop.
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)
It’s nearly impossible for you to concentrate on the present moment with the Moon in your 11th House of Long-Term Goals plus five planets traveling through your 9th House of Adventure. Although you are looking forward with great anticipation, you must demonstrate your reliability today by putting in extra effort, because important events are unfolding at work. If you handle the immediate situation with integrity, the future will take care of itself.
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
You might have mixed feelings about a new project at work as the Moon moves through your 10th House of Career. Others are pushing you to make a decision today, yet you’re probably unwilling to make a commitment just yet — you may learn new facts that could motivate you to change your mind, or something better could come along. However, you can reduce the uncertainty and increase the stability in your life by choosing now.
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
You may be thinking about pursuing a new course of study that isn’t related to your career. Even if you have many choices before you, it’s logistically impossible to follow more than one path. Thankfully, the Moon’s harmonious trine to Saturn in your sign today can give you the clarity you need in order to make the smartest decision. After considering all your options, trust your intuition, pick your direction and get going.
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
You are tempted to talk about your feelings today, even if you’ve been holding them back for a reason. You don’t intend to hurt anyone, but your direct approach might sound insensitive. It’s not what you say that can stir up ill will; it’s how you say it. Think twice before you blurt out the truth. You can still express yourself honestly while also treating others with kindness and respect.
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
You may be more curious than usual today as you seek other people’s opinions to help you clarify your own. It takes extra effort on your part now to pin someone down who continues to evade responding to your questions. Unfortunately, the more you push for resolution, the less likely you will get it. Step back and allow others to have some elbow room. You’ll become more confident of your perspective by looking within, rather than listening to anyone else.
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
As a general rule, information isn’t something you collect unless you have a way to make use of it as you work toward your goals. You may be learning a lot at work now with the clever Gemini Moon moving through your 6th House of Employment, but you are hard-pressed to apply your new knowledge. Nevertheless, the tools you’re gathering can help you to express yourself in ways you haven’t yet imagined.
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
Although you may have plenty to do at work, you could get antsy enough that you want to begin your weekend a couple of days too soon. You are able to come up with sufficient reasons to justify your restlessness, but all the talk in the world won’t make your busy schedule any less demanding. Fortunately, managing your calendar becomes easier once you decide to have fun with it, instead of worrying about fitting everything in.
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
Your personal business could keep you hopping today as the light-footed Gemini Moon visits your 4th House of Home and Family. Unfortunately, it may take you longer than you expect to complete each and every task that’s now on your plate. Thankfully, your self-esteem is running high these days, so you shouldn’t have too much trouble responding to the current demands. Set your priorities by making a list to help you be more efficient.
The day begins with the stubborn Taurus Moon forming a difficult aspect with judgmental Saturn, provoking a possible standoff between our needs and our responsibilities. But the Moon’s shift into quicksilver Gemini at 1:09 pm EDT encourages us to change our minds as quickly as the wind on a spring day. Although Gemini is a rational Air sign, we still could be tempted to express our irrational feelings now as the Moon squares confusing Neptune.
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
You are geared up to make it through the uncertainty of the day, but circumstances could change dramatically enough that you must modify your agenda. It’s not wise to take success for granted now since you must work extra hard to see progress. Taking shortcuts won’t work, either. Putting on an air of bravado won’t do the trick today, so get serious and keep bringing your scattered energy back to the tasks at hand.
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)
The Moon forms an uncomfortable semisquare with your key planet Venus today, tying your feelings up in knots. A simple desire becomes more complex as you obsess about the power that love has over you. However, your worries may just be the result of an overactive imagination. Don’t waste time thinking about something that may never happen. You’ll be happier if you keep your attention on the present moment.
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)
Your key planet Mercury is finally regaining speed as it continues to recover from its retrograde phase last month. Don’t be discouraged about your overall lack of progress on a creative project, for things should be turning around pretty quickly today. Nevertheless, it may be difficult to make up your mind with certainty now that the emotional Moon is back in your whimsical sign for a couple of days. Take your time before making any important decisions.
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)
You need to begin a process of letting go now as the Moon moves through your 12th House of Endings. Your work may not flow as easily as you wish and there’s no easy way to force yourself through the current creative block. Don’t get hung up about something on the job that isn’t moving ahead; instead, watch the signs and see what clues you can derive. Once you figure out the message, you will be permitted to proceed to the next step.
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)
The social aspects of your day may grow very complicated, pressuring you to contract your energy. However, you have personal business that must be attended to today, even if it’s not much fun. Once you push through your own resistance, everything seems to become easier, freeing up enough time for you to do something totally unexpected by your peers. Setting your mind on a particular accomplishment is a wise strategy, but things won’t necessarily turn out as planned. Let the element of surprise work in your favor.
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
It’s all about establishing healthy patterns now and sticking to them, whether you want to or not. Your place of employment may be a bit overrun with people experiencing powerful emotions, and you’re not interested in becoming one of them. Be fierce as you monitor your own performance in light of your career objectives. Make a few positive modifications to your daily routine before you try to progress further.
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
It may feel as if your relationships are extra tense these days, especially if you’re not getting your needs met. Your romantic urges are strong with flirty Venus and four of her planetary peers hanging out in your 7th House of Partners. You would rather be working with someone you like than being on your own now, and Messenger Mercury in impulsive Aries adds a false sense of urgency to your desires. Remember to relax; you really have more time than you think.
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
Your emotional detachment can be disarming now because this isn’t your usual character. You are often the champion of intensity, but today your passionate living motif seems to be absent. You are able to smooth ruffled feathers, but your friends might be slightly uncomfortable because they cannot read your energy clearly through your layers of insulation. Keeping others on the outside may be the best way now to protect your vulnerable core. Secrets are sometimes useful, but don’t withdraw any more than is necessary.
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
You must pay careful attention to someone else’s words today, because there’s a lot at stake. This is a time of big changes and you don’t want to miss an important opportunity. Nevertheless, the most significant information comes from others with the Moon now visiting your 7th House of Partners. Be patient and the puzzle pieces will fall into place. Even if you’re sharing your own point of view, listen with care when relevant feedback is offered in return.
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
It’s often hard for others to argue with your sense of authority, but this isn’t true today. As you issue commands now you might be more obtuse than you realize. It’s challenging if you are feeling socially awkward, leaving you to doubt your ability to handle the current circumstances. Rest assured that your integrity is ultimately one of your greatest strengths, so don’t sacrifice it for the sake of convenience.
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
You may have an opportunity to share your feelings in a variety of ways today, but things might get complicated once you begin. However, it’s not a smart idea to stop midcourse, even if you cannot grasp the impact of your words. Fortunately, everything should make a lot more sense within a few days. Don’t waste time over-analyzing all the possibilities; the details will unfold soon enough.
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
You have a lot going on beneath the surface today, but others might not notice. Even if they ask incisive questions, you’ll probably be able to smoothly evade their analytical probes. However, you must pay close attention, for someone may have less than honorable intentions. Keeping a healthy distance is a good idea if you’re not willing to have an uninvited guest digging through your personal life.
We kick off the next emotional cycle with the sensual Taurus New Moon at 2:50 am EDT. However, the New Moon’s magical quintile with nebulous Neptune stimulates our imaginations by enabling us to see our lives from a more cosmic perspective. Plus, sweet Venus forms an anxious semisquare with Neptune, emphasizing our unfulfilled desires. Thankfully, the Taurus Moon allows us to balance visions of the future with the reality of the present moment.
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
It may appear as if you are at the top of your game today. Actually, you don’t even have to work very hard to amaze others with your finesse as you make your same old routine look like something totally new and different. But too much self-assuredness can lead you into trouble. Sloppy thinking or a hasty miscalculation could tempt you to take an unnecessary risk. Stick to the basics and save the fancy tricks for another day.
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)
The pragmatic Taurus New Moon allows you to accomplish a lot, perhaps surpassing even your own expectations today. It’s great that you’re able to be so productive now, but it’s even more important that no one will be able to talk you out of your current ambitions. Your legendary bull-headed stubbornness enables you to overcome nearly any resistance, so set your goals high and then focus on reaching them.
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)
The steady Taurus New Moon activates your 12th House of Fantasy now, increasing the tension between what’s real and what’s ideal. Thankfully, the practical Taurus energy gives you enough stability to transform an apparently unattainable dream into something that can actually take form. Don’t withdraw from the realm of unlimited possibilities because what manifests in the future begins in your imagination today.
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)
Today’s sensible Taurus New Moon highlights your 11th House of Groups, making this a fine time to strengthen your social network. Opportunities to build enduring relationships at work and play are likely to come your way; however, it may be up to you to make the first move. Sharing your long-term goals can be a catalyst that shifts the dynamics from a casual acquaintance into a deep friendship. It might feel risky to take the initiative, but an amicable overture to the right person can continue to benefit you well into the future.
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)
Today’s reliable Taurus New Moon falls in your 10th House of Status, making it easier to express yourself on the job. Although you’re able to explain a complicated recipe for success in very simple language, you may worry about your inability to execute your own strategy. Obviously, being an inspiring speaker now isn’t enough. Overcome your fear of failure and lead by example, so that others can more easily follow you.
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
The pragmatic Taurus New Moon reaffirms what you already know about success. Nevertheless, you may be overwhelmed by a large project unless you break it down into several subprojects and complete them one at a time. Avoid the temptation to make a mad dash to the finish line today, because it’s not as close as you might think. Fortunately, your drive for efficiency will help you shine, as long as you don’t attempt to do everything at once.
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
Libra is the sign of relationships, but today you crave more than just a pleasant interaction with someone. You need to sink beneath the attractive social veneers now or you could be left feeling unsatisfied. You know there is more to life and you want to experience it. But don’t act too obsessively or you might appear desperate. Intimacy is best when it develops naturally on its own.
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
The sensible Taurus New Moon activates your 7th House of Partners, influencing you to seek salvation from your complex life through an easygoing relationship. The persistence of Taurus offers the steadiness that you need, even if you are afraid of being limited by its simplicity. Ultimately, the choice is yours; the key to establishing an enduring relationship may hinge on your willingness to give up a little drama and overcome your fear of growing bored.
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
You have a lot of work to do now, and starting it right away means that you’ll be finished even sooner. Creating consistency is critical since the earthy Taurus New Moon activates your 6th House of Habits. Starting a new job now is easier than ever with so many planets in spontaneous Aries. However, turning your initial excitement into an ongoing discipline is the next step to assuring your success.
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
You may express yourself without a lot of forethought today, but you’ll still need to make a plan if you want to succeed. The Taurus New Moon in your 5th House of Creativity motivates you to take a chance, but you must follow through on what you start or your efforts will have been for naught. Trying something totally new can be a lot of fun; however, it’s crucial to come back to your senses and figure out how to accomplish what you set out to do in the first place.
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
Five planets moving about in your 3rd House of Immediate Environment suggests that those close to you may be quite supportive of your efforts now. Paradoxically, your lack of flexibility could make it difficult to integrate their good ideas into your overall plan. Don’t assume that your way is the only way; being open to the feedback you receive can make your work much less of a struggle.
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
The practical Taurus New Moon highlights your 3rd House of Communication, helping to ground the energy around you. Although the hectic pace may have settled down a bit, the noise isn’t completely gone. Nevertheless, it’s time to reflect on all that’s happened over the past month before taking a few deep breaths and moving on.
A burst of positive energy can free us from yesterday’s heaviness, tempting us to go overboard. Feisty Mars conjuncts buoyant Jupiter today, expanding our vision of life, magnifying the importance of current events and giving us a more optimistic outlook for the future. It may be difficult to rein in our enthusiasm, leading us to make promises we cannot keep. The impetuous Aries Moon joins Mars and Jupiter to further encourage the good times.
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
Sometimes too much of a good thing is not a good thing. The exuberant Moon-Mars-Jupiter conjunction happening now in your fiery sign may be enough to blast you into orbit, but you’ll need to pay extra careful attention to managing your energy reserves. It’s challenging for you to think about tomorrow when there are six planets in Aries today. Anything you can do to soothe your soul or settle your wild ideas will help to make this a more memorable time.
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)
You may be all worked up over a new idea today, but won’t necessarily put too much effort into making your vision come true. It’s not that you’re particularly lazy now; it’s just that your common sense could overrule your excitement. Remember, your plan deserves enough time to develop before prematurely rushing into action, especially if it’s as brilliant as you think it is.
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)
This continues to be a socially oriented weekend, but you may actually reach a point where you exhaust yourself just by having fun. Knowing when you’ve had enough is a sign of maturity, but setting limits can sometimes be a challenge. Overcome your fear of missing out on something special; call it quits and take some time to relax so you’ll feel rejuvenated and refreshed going into the week ahead.
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)
Although this may be a day away from work, your mind is likely focused on your status in the professional world. This might even involve making plans to accomplish your ambitious career goals. Your optimistic outlook creates an immediate impact on activities with friends or family members today. If you have earned the respect of those you love, enjoy basking in their appreciation. But don’t waste time hesitating now; it’s your turn to take charge.
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)
You can burn off excess energy today by doing something physical such as going on a long hike or working in the yard. But it’s also important to engage your mind by learning something new. You may be satisfied by having a discussion with a friend about an entirely unique course of study, perhaps involving religion, metaphysics or politics. Whatever you choose to do now, reach out beyond your comfort zone because going the distance will be far more rewarding than staying on familiar ground.
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
Your interest in getting to the bottom of a mystery could be a bit over the top today. You want answers and you are prepared to ask whatever questions are necessary to find the missing information. However, your obsessive curiosity might seem confrontational, even if that’s not your intention. You’ll make more progress if you don’t push so hard. Be as transparent as possible so your actions are not misunderstood.
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
A close friend or family member may be so optimistic today that you think he or she has gone overboard. At first it’s fun being around people who are upbeat and interested in doing something out of the ordinary. But, eventually you realize that you might be the one who needs to issue a reality check. However, don’t try to change others by raining on their parade. All you have to do is be clear about the limits of your participation.
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
This is a perfect day to begin a spring cleaning project with energetic Mars joining visionary Jupiter in your 6th House of Details. You have a clear sense of what you want to accomplish now and you have the stamina to get things done. However, you must take a big job and break it down into smaller manageable tasks in order to be efficient. Just make sure that you don’t bite off more than you can chew or you’ll be tired at the end of the day with little to show for your hard work.
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
Blowing up balloons can be fun if you know when to stop; otherwise they pop, leaving you with nothing. Likewise, when red-hot Mars fires up buoyant Jupiter today, you could get into trouble by taking a good idea and turning it into such a big deal that it eventually fizzles. Fun-filled activities can put a wonderful smile on your face now as long as you remember to moderate your natural inclination for bigger, better and more.
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
As much as you may enjoy a day off to spend at home with your family, too much domestic activity might have you thinking about ways to escape. It’s not that you want to be somewhere else; it’s just that you won’t likely want to give up an entire day without having something tangible to show for it. Try involving others in some sort of home improvement project. If they seem more interested in having fun, join in the festivities for a while and then excuse yourself so you can accomplish something on your own.
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
You are buzzing around today like a busy bee, flying from one flower to the next in a field filled with exciting distractions. There are so many possibilities you might feel a bit lost because you don’t know where to start or what to do next. However, you would be better off to save your rational thinking for another day; now it’s better to just jump in and have fun. Act first and analyze later.
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
Many people believe that material abundance begins with having healthy self-esteem. The uplifting Mars-Jupiter conjunction in your 2nd House of Self-Worth indicates that your self-confidence is on the rise now and could help you make an important decision. Fortunately, your current choices have a direct impact on your prosperity in the weeks ahead. Set your goals high and reach a little further than you normally would.
This is an intense weekend with five planets and the Moon in excitable Aries. But attractive Venus opposes repressive Saturn today, limiting our pleasure intake. We want instant satisfaction, yet Saturn delays gratification. Nevertheless, the Moon’s contact with the Venus-Saturn opposition tempts us to over-personalize our experiences. Thankfully, the restraint will be short-lived as we approach a confident Mars-Jupiter conjunction later tonight.
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
You may be getting tired of the same old story. You’re hot to trot today, but you must wait for one reason or another. But instead of getting yourself all worked up because you cannot have what you want now, try taking a more mature approach and acknowledge that you may have something important to learn. Others love your fiery approach to life, but they will respect you more if you can also be patient when it’s appropriate.
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)
You might not allow yourself to have a good time now, especially if you believe that others will judge you harshly if you don’t deliver on your promises. Unfortunately, stern Saturn’s tense opposition to your key planet Venus turns you into your own taskmaster. There’s nothing wrong with catching up on chores; just don’t harbor resentment toward those who choose play over work today. Don’t worry; your chance for fun will be waiting for you later on.
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)
You are ready to lose yourself in a crowd today, whether at a party, a sporting event or the mall. It’s your way of temporarily forgetting about all your responsibilities, but this strategy won’t work no matter how invisible you feel or how fast you run. Fortunately, you can still enjoy yourself in a social setting as long as you don’t have escape on your mind. Make the most of your time with others and then return to the chores you set aside earlier.
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)
You are uncharacteristically motivated to take bold action because you want to demonstrate a more dynamic side of your personality today. But you could try too hard and end up feeling rather foolish if you think you have to do something out of the ordinary just to be accepted by your friends and family. Instead of playing all your cards out in the open, do what comes naturally. It might be wiser now to assume the role of the strong and silent supporter rather than taking center stage.
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)
You want to have a little excitement in your life today and you’re ready to lead the charge on an adventure with your friends. Unfortunately, they may not be as enthusiastic as you are now. Instead of trying to get others to support your idea of fun, leave them to their more sedate ways and go off by yourself. When you’re done with your excursion, you can return refreshed and rejoin those you left behind.
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
You’re not interested in your typical analytical approach to relationships now; you are intrigued by juicier rewards that lure you out of your comfort zone. You feel more emotionally assertive than usual and might even frighten someone close to you because of your heightened sense of urgency. Paying attention to how others react and having the courtesy to give them the space they need today can bring the results you seek.
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
As a Libra, you’re often more interested in maintaining harmony in a relationship than in always getting your way. The moody Moon joins your key planet Venus in your 7th House of Partnerships today, reemphasizing what others want. Although you are normally comfortable with taking care of someone else’s needs, you’ve had enough of being taking for granted. Stand up for yourself now by putting your foot down to set limits. However, don’t be surprised if it takes longer than you prefer to be taken seriously.
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
You are able to tell someone what you want today in no uncertain terms. You’re also able to do it in a manner of clarity that doesn’t blame anyone else for your dissatisfaction. In fact you seem somewhat detached from your needs even as you express them. However, you could be holding onto unexpressed anger, possibly on an unconscious level. Don’t bury your feelings; if something is bothering you, get it off your chest or it could return later in the form of a projection.
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
You may not be willing to modify your plans today in order to be included by your family or friends. You would rather separate yourself from others and keep your sense of integrity, even if it means doing something on your own. Thankfully, you won’t likely feel left out because you could be too busy riding your own wave of creative expression. Nevertheless, you’ll probably feel happy to be back in the fold tomorrow.
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
You are quite aware of how you must suppress certain desires today in order to accomplish very specific goals. You want to have as much fun as the next person, but you’re also able to put personal pleasure into a wider perspective. Still, you can’t help but contemplate the emotional cost of success now. Everything has its price; just don’t sell yourself short.
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
You may have set goals that you now realize you cannot quite reach. Or, perhaps, an obstacle prevents you from doing as much as you wanted to do on a project. But instead of feeling defeat or discouragement, you might have a sense of relief as you reconstruct your day now that you have more time to enjoy yourself. Fortunately, today’s dark storm cloud has a silver lining.
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
You may be tempted to make an impulse purchase today, but this could be a setup for buyer’s remorse. Perhaps the item in question costs more than you originally thought. Or, maybe, you worry that it’s not a good investment because it’s something you don’t really need. Take your time and logically analyze the pros and cons of spending your money. If after rational consideration the expenditure still makes sense, then go ahead because it’s probably a smart acquisition.
Deity of the Day
Venus (Roman)
Moon Goddess; patroness of vegetation and flowers. She was strong, proud and loving. She was also called virginal, meaning that she remained independent; her priestesses were not physical virgins. Goddess of love, beauty, the joy of physical love, fertility, continued creation, renewal, herbal magic and romance.
Expect a wild ride this weekend with the Moon entering rambunctious Aries on Friday morning. We tend to be more impulsive with this lunar placement, easily growing bored with preset plans and primed to leap at interesting new people and experiences. Aries is also a sign of independence, placing personal interests at a higher priority than pleasing people. This could lead to some conflict for those too absorbed in their own desires to slow down and consider what others need.
The spontaneity of Aries spikes on Friday when the Moon conjuncts electrifying Uranus. The downside of this aspect is a feeling of restless anxiety or a sense of alienation. However, creative individuals can use this cosmic connection as a chance to break old patterns and discover new ways of having fun.
Saturday’s defining planetary feature is a tense opposition between Venus, the planet of love and desire, and Saturn, the representative of limits and obligations. This sobering alignment can slam the brakes on a budding romance or take some of the enthusiasm out of an ongoing relationship. We may feel less loved or appreciated, yet the point is not to puncture the potential for love but to put it on a realistic foundation. Directly addressing partnership issues with frank conversations may not be delightful, but can set a weakening alliance back on course or end one that’s not going to meet our long-term desires.
Aggressive Mars’ conjunction with gigantic Jupiter fuels flames of anger or passion on Saturday night and Sunday, presenting a striking contrast between playing it safe and going for broke.
The Moon enters imaginative Pisces at 12:57 am EDT, and quickly joins boundless Neptune to enhance our dreams even further. However, an early morning Venus-Pluto square awakens the shadows of our desires. And, a powerful Sun-Pluto trine releases transformative energies and gives us the ability to ride these evolutionary waves that require full engagement. We are motivated to succeed now and could pay a high price if we fearfully avoid change.
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
Clearly communicating your point of view sounds like a good idea until someone steps forward with a conflicting opinion. You might try to convince him or her that your perspective is the correct one, but you may not be the only person who is committed enough to fight for your beliefs. Rather than wasting energy defending your conclusion today, use this interaction as an opportunity for growth. However, you must remain open now to ideas different from your own.
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)
You are able to stand firm in your beliefs today, making others recognize that you have the determination to reach your goals. Your associates will most likely support your ideas because they are eager to be on the winning team. However, it’s not a good idea to abuse your power. If your actions come from selfish desires, you won’t be able to keep your following. Fortunately, you can go far if you are conscious enough to work toward the common good.
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)
You have open channels of communication today that tap into rich archetypal symbols. You can gain guidance from subconscious images that pop into your awareness, but this isn’t just a mental exercise. Your dreams motivate you to act directly on your feelings instead of on rational thoughts. Don’t try to filter or intellectualize your fantasies; allow them to bypass your head and directly touch your heart.
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)
You are able to clearly see where you’re heading now and could become the person that everyone depends on because of your solid sense of direction. It’s wise to rely on your instincts because you know where you are, and how to get where you are going. But you must pay careful attention today since everything seems to be moving so fast. Update others with the details often so everyone feels included in the process.
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)
You can waste a lot of words today by talking about what’s happening and what you think needs to be done. Unfortunately, others may not be listening very well. It isn’t that you’re boring; in fact, your friends usually want to hear what you have to say. It’s just that they’re tired of idle chatter now. It is time for taking constructive action; you will be noticed if you do more and say less.
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
You can see things more clearly today as if your world suddenly became brighter. Although your senses are usually sharp, you have a much wider range of perceptions today. Experiences that may have been beyond your awareness only yesterday are now beckoning you into new territory. Enjoy this journey of growth; metamorphosis is safer than you think.
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
You might feel as if other people are still being pushier than necessary, but it may not disturb you today because you have found the courage to stand up for yourself. Your unshakable conviction is your secret weapon now; if you’re in tune with your own purpose, then no one can come between you and your soul’s destiny.
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
The Sun’s harmonious trine with your key planet Pluto allows you to move forward with unrelenting intent. The absolute certainty that arises from accepting your fate won’t lead you astray today. However, acquiescing to your destiny isn’t about being powerless; it’s about taking responsibility to create the waves upon which you are riding. You are a mover and shaker now, so go out of your way to make something memorable happen while you can.
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
You are able to strengthen your financial foundation these days as the Sun harmonizes with potent Pluto in your 2nd House of Money. Thankfully, you can overcome nearly any limitations that you currently face. One obvious way to progress toward your fiscal goals is to spend less money, yet this strategy might not take you far enough. Consider refinancing your home, making a wise investment or even accepting a second job. Whatever you try now, think seriously about your future security.
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
You are more intense today as Pluto in your sign is emphasized by its aspects to Venus and the Sun. Others might not realize how grounded you are because your passions are close to the surface. Fortunately, you can express your feelings and are then able to back them up with practical action. Don’t be satisfied with what you already have; set new goals and then work to achieve them. You might surprise yourself with how much you can accomplish now.
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
You have an opportunity to share your opinion about a delicate matter today without stirring up trouble, even if your perspective is controversial. If you previously upset others because of your unconventional beliefs, you now get to express the same thoughts without creating more negative repercussions. Make certain that you present your conclusions logically without attacking anyone else’s values.
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
Your friends may come to your assistance today and support you in ways that money can’t buy. On a mundane level, they might help out with physical labor or by protecting you from others. Your closest allies will also speak the truth, even if it isn’t what you want to hear. You can always go out and hire someone to work for you; however, it’s a real gift when you receive honest and intelligent feedback from someone that you can trust.
The progressive Aquarius Moon picks up on supportive aspects to planets in excitable Aries, shifting us from contemplation into action. In particular, cooperative sextiles with impetuous Mars and opinionated Jupiter indicate that our perceptions are keen and we may form conclusions quickly. But the Moon also forms harsher aspects to sensual Venus and passionate Pluto, pushing deep feelings up to the surface and setting up power struggles in love.
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
It feels as if you’re on the edge of an emotional cliff and you may be considering whether or not to jump. You intuitively know that you will be safe as you float toward the ground, and the anticipation is exciting. Yet the mysterious tug into the abyss can also be scary. You might not be as comfortable in the feeling realm, especially if you’re not in control. Nevertheless, your experience can be meaningful and memorable if you’re willing to take a risk.
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)
The analytical Aquarius Moon stimulates intense Pluto and your key planet Venus today, plunging you into an emotional drama. Thankfully, this can open up your heart in a very profound way. However, problems in love arise if you believe you’ll be able to always stick to your agenda. It helps to acknowledge that you don’t have all the answers because being flexible isn’t easy for you. Forget about being right; it’s better now to ride the waves of your feelings, instead.
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)
You are tempted to dance your way around a very delicate topic of discussion today. However, you can inadvertently bring up unnecessary pain for someone you love if you cannot face the underlying emotional conflict in a mature manner. Forget about the clever comebacks and witty responses. Making light of your feelings detracts from your real work now. Overcome your fear and accept the responsibility to explore real solutions rather than superficial ones.
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)
You don’t want to create an emotional conflict today, but you realize that stepping into unfamiliar territory now can lead to a worthwhile reward. You might need a bit of help from a friend or lover to assist you through your resistance, but your fears should dissipate once the conversation gets underway. Remember, there isn’t a right way to respond as long as you’re true to your heart.
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)
Allow your hopes and dreams to inspire you to swim against the tide today because this can bring you closer to your passions. This isn’t an easy day; you may have to stir up some difficult issues so you truly feel alive. Just remember that you can express yourself without making anyone else wrong. You can effectively bring a conversation back to your perspective while acknowledging that others don’t need to agree with your point of view.
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
It’s helpful to remain as neutral as possible today if someone else tries to engage you in a struggle for control. However, this will be increasingly difficult to do throughout the day, especially if you feel threatened. Even if you do not want to escalate a conflict, your detachment can only last so long. You shouldn’t have to suppress your feelings if you are clear about your message. Taking a few deep breaths will help prevent you from saying something that you regret later on.
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
Your friend or workmate may put you in an uncomfortable position today, asking you to reveal something you intended to keep private. The stakes can be too high to play games now; your best strategy is to express your feelings rather than pretending that everything is okay. Ultimately, a difficult conversation can clear the air of unspoken tensions and pave a path toward a more meaningful relationship.
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
Your ruling planet Pluto is tensely aspected by the Moon today and sensual Venus later tonight, driving you to test the boundaries of love and to seek the intensity that may be absent from your life. But your fierce passion could have the exact opposite effect on someone else. If others believe that you are being too forceful, they might withdraw, enticing you to apply additional pressure. Although you don’t have to hide your feelings, it would be smart to soften your approach.
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
You are attracted to the unknowable mysteries that are stirred by love today. But your fears tempt you to retreat when you get close to emotions you cannot control. This is a bit of a paradox because you won’t be able to experience the magic if you’re not willing to delve into the shadows. Don’t pretend that you are in charge when you’re not. Expressing your vulnerability can open a doorway to intimacy now that was previously hidden from view.
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
Passionate Pluto’s long-term visit to your sign is stimulated today by the Moon and Venus, the planet of love. It’s not a simple task to explore your sensual desires because they may take you further than you want to go. However, the rules won’t make you feel safe now, for it’s apparent that there are no absolute limits. Thankfully, your uncharacteristic willingness to delve into the uncertainty of your feelings can bring you closer to happiness.
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
Memories that you believed were safely hidden away may now explode into your consciousness, shattering your illusion of emotional detachment. Needless to say, this is disconcerting, for you are more comfortable when your rational thoughts are in charge. It’s no use trying to put everything back as it was. Instead, be responsive to whatever happens today by openly expressing what’s in your heart. You can always reclaim your cool intellectual demeanor tomorrow.
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
You want an emotional connection now that has real meaning, but the intensity of the moment may be even more than you can imagine. Although you’re eager to explore unfamiliar territory in search of love, you prefer that things were simpler. Nevertheless, taking a risk with someone you trust and sharing your feelings requires courage. However, the cost is worth it, for you just might discover a precious gem that can help heal your heart.
An opposition from restrictive Saturn to loving Venus on Friday could take some of the steam out of romance this weekend. Yet even if we encounter obstacles, rejection or self-doubt, the fiery Aries Moon keeps pumping us up with fresh hope and bringing surprises that can turn social darkness into light and laughter.
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
The Moon in your impulsive sign makes you itchy for action this weekend. But there’s some unfinished personal business to complete before you’re free to play. A serious conversation on Friday will test your commitment toward a relationship. Dealing with the consequences of past actions might not be fun, but is a necessary step to building trust.
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)
Do your best to stay out of the line of fire this weekend since explosive emotions can create unsettling conditions. The restless Aries Moon in your 12th House of Escapism is better suited for avoiding the spotlight than being in the middle of a crowd. Just take some time out to rest and relax instead of overloading your social calendar or pushing for romance.
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)
Going out with friends should make your social life especially entertaining this weekend. The Aries Moon lights up your 11th House of Groups and puts you in the middle of the action, which is both exciting and risky. The downside is that you could get caught up in someone else’s conflict. Avoid getting involved in others’ craziness if you want to have a good time.
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)
You might think that you’re the only adult in a world filled with bratty children this weekend. The mood-setting Moon is in rambunctious Aries and your 10th House of Public Responsibility, making you feel like you have to control those around you. But if you want to enjoy yourself, let others do what they want as long as it doesn’t affect you directly.
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)
Heading into unfamiliar social territory could be the key to making your romantic life more interesting this weekend. The Moon is traveling through your 9th House of Faraway Places, which arouses restless feelings and intense wanderlust. Broadening your horizons with cultural events and people from different countries can provide the spice you need to capture your attention.
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
Surprises are likely this weekend. In spite of your careful planning, it’s almost certain that you will encounter unpredictable people and situations that upset your expectations. While conflicts are possible, a flexible attitude and open mind can invite delight where you least expect to find it, including an attraction to someone who’s not your usual type.
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
The enthusiastic Aries Moon visits your 7th House of Partners this weekend, which should energize your social life. But you may be too hard on yourself to take advantage of the romantic opportunities. Be clear about what (and who) you want and don’t want, instead of simply shutting up and accepting circumstances that aren’t meeting your needs. You are entitled to be happy just as much as anyone else.
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
Caution is recommended in personal matters this weekend with the Aries Moon speeding through your 6th House of Adjustments. A minor misunderstanding could flame up into a major conflict if you don’t keep your cool. On the plus side, romantic sparks could fly when you’re working with someone and have zero expectations of the fun to come. Keep your options open and you might be pleasantly surprised.
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
Suit up for a stupendous weekend with the adventurous Aries Moon firing through your 5th House of Romance. Fun and games are to be expected when you allow your spontaneous side to lead the way. You’re bound to make a splash now, but be sensitive if you’re around someone who feels knocked down by life and needs a little tenderness. Consider your audience before you accidentally hurt anyone’s feelings.
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
You may have to deal with some serious relationship or self-worth issues on Friday when your hyper-responsible ruling planet Saturn makes a challenging opposition to lovable Venus. But if you can get the hard work out of the way, you will earn the right to party. Play must come after work, which fits your usual mode of operation, anyway.
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
Excitement could await around every corner this weekend. The Moon in high-energy Aries is heating up your 3rd House of Nearby Places and can turn a little trip to the store into a significant social event. Chatty strangers want to tell you their life stories, which is fine only if they,re very interesting, since you may not be especially patient for small talk now.
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
Set aside the tender side of your personality and show some toughness this weekend. The Moon is in rough and ready Aries, which is more about acting first and thinking later than carefully preparing every move. Being bolder in your attitude and appearance may shock those who know you well, but are excellent ways to earn the attention you desire.
