With a major portion of today occurring with the Sun in the last degree of Scorpio, it is a good time to reflect on your gains and losses of the past four weeks. Have you excelled at exploring the depths of your consciousness in order to eliminate old fears and doubts that may be blocking the flow of your creative artistry? Are you more adept at tuning into your spiritual willpower and mental concentration to be an entrepreneur with clout and finesse? Steer clear of questionable investment offers as Vesta makes an off-kilter, 150-degree tie with often hazy Neptune (7:43AM). The Moon in Cancer continues a primary focus on healing old family wounds and pains. A big change happens at 7:49PM when the Sun leaves watery Scorpio for fiery Sagittarius. Don’t be too surprised if you feel a sense of relief that some of the recent tensions may be in the process of dissolving away. A happy-go-lucky disposition is the right frame of mind to have during the monthly lunar conjunction with providential Jupiter (8:00PM). Avoid overdoing a good thing a couple of hours later when the Sun makes a frictional, 45-degree tie with Venus (10:17PM). Keep a low profile overnight and avoid the social scene as the Moon begins a void uncertainty zone at 11:12PM that lasts until 3:58PM tomorrow.

Celebrating Spirituality 365 Days A Year – Festival of Kukulcan
November 21
Festival of Kukulcan
It was on this day that the ancient Mayan people paid homage to the God Kukulcan. His name means “the feathered snake whose path is the water.” Later merged with Quetzalcoatl (Plumed Serpent) he was the great God of wisdom, wind and fertility—the inventor of agriculture and the calendar. He was identified with Venus as the morning star and portrayed as a feathered serpent and sometimes as a bearded man. The Mayan religion permeated all aspects of life. Their festivals were times of great celebration and focused on seasonal changes and agriculture. Generally their festivals included games, feasting, dancing and human sacrifice.
Wishing You & Yours A Very Blessed Thursday Afternoon, my dear family!
So Mote It Be
Your Love Horoscopes for the Week of November 18th
Actions may speak louder than words this week, thanks to a positive dose of expansive Martian energy. On Tuesday, Mars will link up to Jupiter, offering plenty of confidence and gusto to pursue your heart’s desire. On Saturday, Venus will be at a sextile to Saturn, helping keep both feet on the ground while you allow your heart to soar. By Sunday, however, the Sun will square off with Neptune, and all may not be what it appears to be despite your idealism.
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
Your heart takes flight this week when the Sun, ruler of your 5th House of Romance, enters optimistic Sagittarius on Thursday. You may feel a stronger sense of wanderlust, and if so now will be an ideal time to consider a vacation with your sweetheart. The more exotic the better! On Sunday, you might feel all warm and fuzzy as you and your love enjoy a spiritual connection that may feel too good to be true. Ask your lover to pinch you so you know you’re not really dreaming.
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)
A scintillating conversation with your lover will likely get your heart racing on Tuesday. Even if you can’t see each other on this day, be sure to spend time on the phone or exchange a few sexy text messages. If you live together, the act of your mate doing housework or cooking dinner will really turn you on. Don’t forget to offer a proper thank you! On Saturday, Venus will be at a supportive link to Saturn and you’ll take a step back to feel grateful for where you are in your relationship: Secure.
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)
Talking to a coworker you trust about an intimate matter in your personal life may help you sort things out on Wednesday. If it’s a colleague you have romantic feelings for, you might be surprised at how easy it is to reveal your emotional state by Saturday. Although your focus will be on committed partnership after Thursday, you might have the one you love on a higher pedestal than he or she deserves — especially on Sunday. Open your heart … and your eyes.
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)
You and your partner may work together to make a vital decision on Wednesday. Whatever is happening, know that the choice you make as a couple will further empower your relationship. On Saturday, you’ll continue to enjoy a feeling of solidarity with your mate. If you have children together, you’ll be in complete agreement over how to handle a testy situation. If you don’t, you may create a framework around a joint creative endeavor. One thing is certain: This week your relationship will be rock-solid.
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)
Romance will take center stage this week, which will surely delight you. The catch? You may be so enamored with the glamorous trappings of your love life that you neglect to separate fantasy from reality. The good news is that with the Sun entering your romance sector on Thursday, you’ll shine a light on making love … and making love work. Still, a nasty square from the Sun to Neptune on Sunday might leave you licking wounds of disappointment when it comes to your intimate life. A fantasy might be better off kept to yourself — at least for now.
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
You’ll have plenty of motivation to spice up your social life early in the week, which will help your love life, ultimately. On Tuesday, consider attending a meeting or other social function. If single, you might not leave the event alone! On Saturday, a stabilizing conversation between you and your sweetheart (if attached) will convince you that working together strategically is what it takes to make any love relationship work. A joint decision you make on this day will stand the test of time.
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
Behind the scenes support from your partner might be the catalyst prompting you to reach for new professional heights. Although your mate could prefer to remain a silent cheerleader, don’t underestimate his or her ability to make you feel capable of achieving your goals. By Saturday, you and your partner will likely feel more secure about a domestic or financial matter. If you’re considering an investment in real estate, you’ll be on the same page when it comes to how much you can realistically afford.
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
A serious conversation about a love relationship will be in order this week, and it may take place on Wednesday or Saturday. This might not even be a talk with your mate, but it could be a private dialogue you have with yourself instead. Don’t avoid this honest assessment. If you can sort out whatever holds you back in matters of the heart, it’s possible you’ll finally feel free to give your all in love. With Saturn in your sign, you are certainly ready for commitment. The question is, have you found the right person to commit to?
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
With the Sun moving into your sign on Thursday, you’ll have an “anything is possible” outlook to the ‘nth degree! When it comes to relationships, you’ll begin to put more energy on expressing your most vital self to a partner. Thankfully, you’ll also feel more appreciated than ever for simply being yourself. On Saturday, your mate will be an encouraging influence, supporting you as you cultivate one of your talents that you typically keep behind closed doors. Your partner already sees the best in you and now, you’ll agree.
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
Don’t discount the potential to intensify your love life this week by focusing on a humanitarian effort with your mate. It appears you’ll be busy in conversation with a group regarding such an endeavor on Wednesday. Your input will be valuable because you’ll create a plan to achieve a successful outcome out of everyone else’s high ideals. By Saturday, expect your lover to join in this effort once you discover that he or she shares the same passion to help others as you do.
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
If there was ever a week to talk to your partner about whatever it is you’ve been trying to sweep under the rug, this is it. Don’t feel anxious about initiating a difficult conversation, even if it means communicating about a subject you both try hard to avoid. Recognize that until you talk about this situation it’ll be an ugly thorn in your side, potentially diminishing what is a fantastic relationship otherwise. Have the talk, clear the air and then move on.
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
Now that Mars is in your partnership sector, you’re extremely motivated to stir the pot in relationship matters. You might initiate more arguments than usual, or you may enjoy being extra physical with your mate. Thankfully, on Tuesday you’ll enjoy the best, rather than the worst, of what Mars in the 7th House of Partnership offers. Mars will connect to Jupiter, the planet of expansion and abundance. You’ll have plenty of stamina to enjoy a new sexual or creative adventure with your lover. Good for you!
Daily Horoscopes for Friday, November 15th
We know what we want today and are determined to carry out our plan to reach our goals. However, sensual Venus hooks up with passionate Pluto, complicating relationship dynamics. The Moon’s move into earthy Taurus at 9:49 am EST reflects our need for simple pleasures. Desires grow more intense, even if we try to avoid an emotional connection with a friend or partner. However unfair it seems, complexity is the price we now must pay for intimacy.
Aries Horoscope
(Mar 21 – Apr 19)
You won’t likely take no for an answer today, no matter what your question is. You’re driven by your desire for success and are ready to do anything that’s necessary to achieve your goals. Others who stand in your way are fair game to receive the brunt of your annoyance or anger, but it’s still not a good idea to ride roughshod over someone who would be better as a friend than as an enemy. Don’t act foolishly; it’s wiser to be inclusive than exclusive.
Taurus Horoscope
(Apr 20 – May 20)
There’s nothing wrong with being in touch with your physical needs, but the Moon’s return to your sign today encourages you to be more aware of your feelings. Fortunately, your judgment is probably on point now, as long as you remember to take other people’s perspectives into consideration. Even if you’re certain that your assumptions are correct, you’ll do better by remaining flexible and meeting others halfway.
Gemini Horoscope
(May 21 – Jun 20)
Your fantasies may be running amok today and it’s tempting to draw an intimate partner closer by sharing your private thoughts and feelings. However, it might not be all that easy to bring your secrets out into the open now. Luckily, encountering your own resistance could be a saving grace because your inability to tell everything can turn out in your favor. There are some things that are better left unsaid.
Cancer Horoscope
(Jun 21 – Jul 22)
You’re usually very sensitive to other people’s feelings, but you may need to retreat today because someone is just too intense for you to handle. Unfortunately, attempts on your part to establish reasonable boundaries could just further enflame the drama. Act in a caring and supportive manner without taking responsibility for a difficult situation that isn’t yours. Remain sympathetic while also maintaining whatever distance you require for your own emotional wellbeing.
Leo Horoscope
(Jul 23 – Aug 22)
You have little patience for anyone who isn’t willing to stand up for his or her beliefs today. Normally, you would be more concerned with making sure that your ideas were getting all the attention they deserve. Now, however, you are content with just quietly honoring the opinions of others as long as they are being true to themselves. You’re not interested in arguing with someone who is looking for a fight; you would rather explore how your own passions can enrich your life, instead.
Virgo Horoscope
(Aug 23 – Sep 22)
Your uncharacteristic desire to express your desires today could ultimately surprise others. At first, you might seem as if you’re able to maintain a cool and emotionally detached attitude, but as you talk it becomes apparent that you want to say more. You might even find yourself hooked on a feeling and are unwilling to let it go. Don’t be afraid of your intensity now; just be certain that your passions are worth the extra effort.
Libra Horoscope
(Sep 23 – Oct 22)
You are criticized on occasion for not being able to make up your mind, but today you’ll probably fall at the other end of the spectrum. You are quick to state what you want now and are unwavering in your approach to get it. In fact, you might be so firm in your convictions that you’re ready to confront anyone who gets in your way. Your current commitment to living life to the fullest is admirable as long as you don’t take yourself so seriously that you start a needless fight over something that’s just not that important
Scorpio Horoscope
(Oct 23 – Nov 21)
You aren’t interested in simply experiencing the power of emotions; you want to communicate your fears and discuss your attractions, even if they make someone uncomfortable. Magnetic Venus joins your key planet Pluto today, accentuating your passions and bringing hidden desires to the surface. Don’t back away from your feelings; it’s not your job now to manage how anyone else might react to your truth. Real intimacy can only occur when you share what’s in your heart.
Sagittarius Horoscope
(Nov 22 – Dec 21)
It’s necessary to find a steady rhythm at work because your consistent efforts could bring increased income as the Venus-Pluto conjunction activates your 2nd House of Money. Making a cash investment might be a smart move now if your involvement also gives you an active role to play. But don’t expect something for nothing; you need to put in the extra labor today before reaping the rewards.
Capricorn Horoscope
(Dec 22 – Jan 19)
You are determined to express yourself today at any cost. Emotional pressures have been building beneath the surface and now could be pushed to an eruption point. Even if your extreme reactions feel out of control, you can moderate your outward response by concentrating on your long-term goals rather than the chaos of the present moment. A little bit of objectivity might be enough to give you the perspective you need.
Aquarius Horoscope
(Jan 20 – Feb 18)
Expending a lot of physical energy today makes it easier to manage your intense emotions if someone is resisting your efforts or trying to control you. Fortunately, you’re strong enough now to stand up to a powerful person who fears your success. Nevertheless, it’s not a good idea to draw battle lines and take on an adversary. It’s much smarter to win the fight against your own insecurities. If you don’t have a need to demonstrate your superiority, then the stress will dissipate without a showdown.
Pisces Horoscope
(Feb 19 – Mar 20)
The relationship dynamics with your coworkers might turn into a time-consuming power struggle if you think they are excluding you from the team. You don’t want to be an outsider now, but you’re not interested in sacrificing your values for the sake of being accepted by the group. Although communication is difficult when emotions run so high, it’s still worth the effort to initiate a meaningful dialogue and establish common ground where everyone can feel comfortable enough to work together.
Your Weekend Love Horoscopes for Nov. 15 – 17
Weekend Love Horoscopes
November 15-17: Steady Hearts
Maria DeSimone on the topics of love, horoscopes, astrologyAn incredibly rich and satisfying weekend in romance is ahead — one that’s reminiscent of a meal that sticks to your ribs and is finger licking good. Why the yumminess? A Taurus Moon all weekend, leading up to Sunday’s Full Moon in Taurus of course!
On Friday, you’ll have the perfect set up for a lusty date night. Not only is the Moon in luscious Taurus, but Venus and Pluto will embrace in a sexy “I can’t live without you” kind of way. Love will be intense and security-driven with this much Earth energy in the sky. Venus and Pluto are in Capricorn, which suggests a serious kind of obsessive love is at play. You need each other in the most visceral way, and as a result you can expect an unforgettable night in bed together.
On Sunday, the Taurus Full Moon will feel like whipped cream and a cherry on top of what has already been a decadent ice cream sundae kind of romantic weekend. Eat up!
Daily Cosmic Calendar for Friday, November 15th
Stay out of trouble in the early hours with the Moon void in Aries and Venus in a somewhat unstable position after squaring Uranus yesterday and about to unite with Pluto today. If you remember how this month began — with a deluge of alignments on November 1, including the heavy-duty clash between Uranus and Pluto — now Venus is attempting to play the role of inter-planetary peacemaker between these two outer-planet adversaries. However, this is easier said than done. First, the asteroid Vesta — having much to do with insurance rates and coverage, investments, home and hearth, safety and security themes as well as sisterhoods — enters Libra (5:46AM) for an extended stay until July 30, 2014. In addition, the Moon leaves yesterday’s void status in Aries and will provide some semblance of comfort as it glides into Taurus (6:50AM) — the first earth sign of the zodiac, ruled by Venus. This places an emphasis on handling monetary resources with care and deliberation. Later on, you need to be all eyes and ears as Venus makes its annual union with Pluto (1:34PM and activating 10 degrees of Capricorn). The hope is that Venus blends its friendly, loving vibrations with the mysterious, underworld powers of Pluto — allowing some kind of positive, emotional catharsis to occur, igniting the source of creative-artistic inspirations. From a shadow perspective, it is also possible that Pluto attempts to pull in the innocent Venusian vibrations, somewhat like a black hole in the universe is said to usually absorb and assimilate everything in its path, including light. Do your best to be an agent on behalf of goodwill and tender loving care. You can still be tested again this evening when the Sun forms a dicey, 135-degree tie with radical-change producer Uranus (9:02PM). Expecting the unexpected may be one way to avoid an increase in nervous tension. Keep in mind that with the potent Full Moon of Scorpio-Taurus arriving in two days, today and tomorrow constitutes a 48-hour time-period of preparation for the enlightening energies about to descend to humanity when the Sun and Moon reach their monthly crescendo on Sunday morning.

Efforts that involve any type of pleasure, comfort, and luxury, as well as the arts, music, or aroma (incense and perfume) works well on this day. As Venus lends its sensuous influences to the energies of this day, use it for any magical work that deals with matters of the heart.
Your Daily Horoscopes for Wed., November 13th
We wake up today feeling as if it will be a whole new ballgame, but as the day wears on we realize it may not be as easy as we think. The Moon’s shift into enterprising Aries at 2:39 am EST reminds us that we can accomplish nearly anything if we believe in ourselves. But the Moon’s challenging aspects to indulgent Venus, unpredictable Uranus and unforgiving Pluto could put a damper on the evening unless we loosen our grip on the reins of control.
Aries Horoscope
(Mar 21 – Apr 19)
Your enthusiasm may spell trouble today because the Moon returns to your active sign, inspiring you to take on the world. But it’s tricky to find the right amount of intensity because you might push so hard that your plan backfires. On the other hand, you could set yourself up for failure if you don’t try at all. Ultimately, you can increase your chances of being happy by scaling back your goals just a little bit and then taking a giant leap of faith.
Taurus Horoscope
(Apr 20 – May 20)
You might not be able to discover the source of your irritation today as the Moon’s presence in your 12th House of Invisibility hides something from view. It feels critical to find out what you’re missing, but the most significant information could be elusive to your watchful eye. Instead of pushing for the truth, try accepting what you already know while you wait for the rest to surface. Time spent alone can give you a chance to find the answers within.
Gemini Horoscope
(May 21 – Jun 20)
You may be offered a professional opportunity today that’s too good to turn down. But it’s difficult to stay focused at work now with the Moon visiting your 11th House of Friends. There could be an element of surprise when erratic Uranus flips things upside down, making it tricky to know how best to respond. Don’t abandon your responsibilities just because a social event sounds so exciting. Instead of planning your escape, show everyone you’re up for a challenge by turning a new project into a game and playing for keeps.
Cancer Horoscope
(Jun 21 – Jul 22)
There’s no reason to wait for marching orders from your boss today. Take a chance and trust your intuition; you probably already know what he or she wants from you. Nevertheless, you must exercise some caution or you might jump to an erroneous conclusion. Don’t make your move too quickly because an incorrect assumption could cause you to waste precious time. A more contemplative approach is likely to earn the respect of others and increase your chances for success.
Leo Horoscope
(Jul 23 – Aug 22)
Moderating your enthusiasm is no easy task today. Even if you’re able to envision exciting adventures ahead, it’s possible to take a plan so far that others tire of your outrageous ideas. Talking less and doing more is the smartest way to demonstrate that you are not all hype. Delivering the goods is just as important now as having a positive attitude. Actions speak louder than words.
Virgo Horoscope
(Aug 23 – Sep 22)
Your uncharacteristic desire to be different from everyone else today might make your interactions with others more intense than usual. You may become frustrated because you’re attracted to someone who seems as if he or she would make a close friend or intimate partner. However, you don’t necessarily like the idea of changing just to make the interpersonal dynamics work. Be willing to walk away from a relationship if you cannot be yourself in it. Your integrity matters more than anything else.
Libra Horoscope
(Sep 23 – Oct 22)
A friend or coworker might shock you by doing something totally outrageous today. You may be caught off guard by the intensity of the emotions being expressed, but it’s wise not to show your surprise or offer any negative judgment now. Instead of being overly reactive, stick to your current position and maintain your balance in spite of the chaos around you. Find your inner center and hold on tight.
Scorpio Horoscope
(Oct 23 – Nov 21)
You may be secretly attracted to someone at work today, yet this won’t be your typical romance because you want your freedom now as much as you want love and affection. You might not be clear about what you’re willing to give up in order to obtain what you desire. Don’t struggle too hard as you try to find a comfortable middle ground. It’s possible to remain curiously excited without actually acting on your feelings. Wait and see how things develop before making your move.
Sagittarius Horoscope
(Nov 22 – Dec 21)
You are tempted to write yourself a permission slip today and then sneak off to play. Although this might sound like a great idea, you need to fulfill your obligations first. Thankfully, you have the ability now to approach your job with an entirely different mindset that enables you to have fun while doing your chores. There’s no reason to be frustrated by your desire to escape; instead, express your creativity by exhibiting a high level of enthusiasm all day long.
Capricorn Horoscope
(Dec 22 – Jan 19)
You feel like you have too much to do now, especially if you are needed by a close friend or family member. You might think you can postpone your domestic responsibilities because you’re so busy at work, but this isn’t a wise strategy to pursue. Instead, make your personal commitments top priority while you let your professional obligations slip a little. It will be much easier to fully concentrate on your job tomorrow once you have taken care of those you love today.
Aquarius Horoscope
(Jan 20 – Feb 18)
You might want to shake everything up today, but change isn’t always the best idea — especially if your life seems to be working well. It’s one thing to try doing a task in a new way because you’re searching for more efficient methods. But doing it differently now just because you’re bored may not be the smartest strategy. There’s no need to fix what’s not broken; channel your excess energy toward more productive endeavors and watch what happens.
Pisces Horoscope
(Feb 19 – Mar 20)
Lots of new ideas about making money are popping into your head now, but they may not be practical enough to turn them into reality. Nevertheless, you’re sure that you can accomplish more if you just work faster. However, your new approach to your job could be unsettling to your coworkers who would rather maintain the status quo. Don’t be afraid to rattle some cages by trying something different. You can always go back to your old ways in a few days if it doesn’t work out.
Your Love Horoscopes for the Week of November 12
A slew of intense aspects this week will make for a romantic atmosphere that’s anything but mild. On Thursday, Venus will square off with Uranus, and an unanticipated development in your love life may leave you reeling. You might be the one who initiates a change, but it’s just as likely you’ll be on the receiving end. On Friday, Venus and Pluto embrace in a sexy conjunction that is all about obsession and possession. Will you take it too far? Then, a Full Moon in Taurus on Sunday will fuel your emotional need to sensually connect with someone close. If you can’t feel, hear, taste, see and touch your lover, then you just won’t be happy.
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
On Monday, a sublime conversation between you and your love will feel almost telepathic. Perhaps the two of you are hearing each other think, after all! In any event, use this day well and enjoy your enhanced mental and spiritual connection. By Thursday, however, expect a sudden turn of events. You or your sweetheart may crave extra breathing room or insist on shaking things up in your relationship. The harder you try to hold onto the way things “used to be,” the more likely you are to feel frustrated. Go with the flow.
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)
On Monday, you and your mate are likely to enjoy an enchanting social time together. You may attend a gathering with artistic or spiritual friends, and if so the conversations are sure to make you feel extra bonded to one another. On Sunday, a Full Moon in your sign will bring emotions to the surface. You’ll wear your heart on your sleeve and it’ll be easy for your sweetheart to read you. You’ll feel more emotionally gratified when your sensual needs are being met. Be sure to let your partner know exactly what they are.
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)
This week you and a friend may experience trouble with another friend. He or she may spill the beans about a private matter about your love life that you shared in confidence. You’re not likely to appreciate being the subject of gossip amongst your acquaintances, but this might be even more troubling if your sweetheart finds out. The situation will likely come to a head on Thursday and Friday, leaving you disappointed and raw with emotion.
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)
If you’re single and looking for love, you might decide to schedule an after work first date with someone special this Tuesday. Make it casual — perhaps cocktails after work or even a short lunch in the middle of your work day. By having no expectations and keeping it low-pressure, you’re more likely to enjoy each other’s company. By Friday, Venus and Pluto will engage in a sultry embrace, stirring your desires in the most irresistible way. A second date will quickly become hot and heavy — and you’ll be game.
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)
Sexual fancies may be difficult to contain this week as Neptune turns direct in your 8th House of Intimacy. You may long for the impossible love experience, or you may find that an erotic fantasy overtakes you and it is all you can think of. On Friday, someone at work could make a sexual advance towards you. If you’re attracted to this person, you’ll be flattered — but if not, you might consider it harassment. Even if the feeling is mutual, pursuing this could get messy. Handle with care.
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
When Neptune turns direct in your partnership sector this Wednesday, you might feel fuzzy regarding a decision that involves you and your mate. Don’t rush into anything, and avoid giving an ultimatum or becoming trapped by one. Romance sizzles by Friday, thanks to a heart-pounding connection between Venus and Pluto in your 5th House of True Love. Anticipate one of the most intense sexual encounters you’ve ever had. If you’re single, make sure you’re out and about. Either way, it’ll be difficult to ignore your desires.
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
A domestic dispute with your mate could leave you frustrated and ready to fly off the handle this Thursday. Do your best to refrain from hasty behavior because that may only serve to further alienate your partner. It’s as if everyone in your clan is on the same page about a certain situation except for him or her. While frustrating, it will pass. Now is the time to exercise patience. A Full Moon on Sunday may lead to emotionally charged news about your partner’s finances.
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
You may focus on a creative project with your sweetheart early in the week. Ideas will flow and your imagination will soar together, so be sure to schedule time for play on Monday. By Sunday, a Full Moon will fall in your 7th House of Partnership. If you and your partner are experiencing a difficult time, you’ll need to open up to one another. If you don’t clear the air, it’ll only suffocate you. Alternatively, this could be a time of incredible emotional fulfillment in matters of partnership. It all depends on where you currently stand.
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
This is not your week to mix love and money. No matter what the circumstances, be wary of lending cash to your lover or allowing him or her to manage your funds in any way. It’s not that you can’t trust your sweetheart, it’s just that this week it appears he or she may become overzealous about a “too good to be true” investment opportunity. Don’t allow yourself to get caught up in the hype with your mate. Instead, try to talk him or her down from the ledge.
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
Expect a solid focus on your love life this week. Venus, the planet that rules romance, will be in your sign, connecting to both unpredictable Uranus and transformative Pluto. With this cosmic lineup it’s likely that an unanticipated development in your love life will either intensify your feelings for someone special or repulse you altogether. A Full Moon in your romance sector on Sunday may bring an emotional ending or a solid commitment. Either way, get ready for the game of love to change.
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
You may reveal your feelings for someone inadvertently this week — something you quickly regret doing. If you’re pining away for someone you know you can’t be in a relationship with, no matter how hard you try, the fact isn’t likely to change. Declaring your love — or passion — for this person may only lead to rejection. Even worse, it’s possible this person may feel you’ve become obsessed with them and declare you a stalker. Not fun. If you know it is unrequited love, then do yourself a favor this week: Keep it quiet.
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
You might feel dazed this week as your ruler, Neptune, turns direct in your sign on Wednesday. Allow extra time to sleep in and indulge your imaginative side. If you can do this with your partner, all the better, but chances are he or she will feel there are more practical matters to tend to (like paying the bills). Still, this may be a week you need to take life at a slower pace. On Friday, Venus and Pluto will connect in your social 11th House of Friends. If single, you may entertain the idea of a friendship with benefits.
Weekend Love Horoscopes for November 8th thru 10th
Weekend Love Horoscopes
November 8-10: Innovative Clarity
Maria DeSimone on the topics of love, horoscopes, astrology
Thanks to a quirky Aquarius Moon that’ll last all weekend long, you can expect to feel more in the mood for experimentation and non-traditional forms of entertainment that stimulate you physically and intellectually.
By early Saturday morning, the Moon will be at a fine angle to Uranus, which adds to your ability to go your own way and express yourself without worrying about how your partner will react. You’ll actually feel more supported when it comes to exploring your unique desires. In fact, communication will be at an all-time high this weekend.

Those born under Libra’s influence were supposed to be affable, courteous even tempered, painstaking, and with marked perceptive qualities. The Libra stones are the Opal, Chrysolite and Sardonyx. To the ancients the Opal was the Stone of Mystery its flashing and glowing rainbow hues suggested occult powers, and it was regarded as sacred in the East.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for November 6th
As mentioned in this Cosmic Calendar yesterday, the biggest planets in our solar system ramp up their influences on Earth today as the Sun makes its annual union with Saturn in Scorpio (4:02AM) while Jupiter makes a station at 21 degrees of Cancer and begins four months of retrograde motion at 9:04PM. However, keep in mind that a void lunar uncertainty zone started yesterday morning and will stay in effect until 1:45PM (when the Moon enters Capricorn). Thus, this morning’s Sun-Saturn rendezvous may be extra challenging — along Saturnian lines, which (when negative) may include a temporary rise in worry, stress, doubt, frustrations and pessimism. Nevertheless, the positive components of any Sun-Saturn conjunction can include an illumination of old fears in order to eliminate them from your psyche. Adding insult to injury in the early going is a square between Venus and Ceres (9:49AM) — a frictional tie that can equate with a decrease of productivity in arts, crafts and hobbies. Once the Moon leaves void status in Sagittarius by entering earthy Capricorn (1:45PM), the lunar orb joins forces with Venus (4:23PM) — providing a notable boost for creative-artistic expression across the board. The Jupiter station and shift into reverse (9:04PM) puts an emphasis on all Jupiter themes — the power of positive thinking, good fortune and good luck, golden opportunities, providence and benevolence, philosophical and religious beliefs, faith and trust, Big Business, large-scale enterprises, seeing the future ahead of time, literary and educational pursuits, publishing, levity and enthusiasm, adventures in the great outdoors, long-distance journeys, but also overdoing a good thing, weight gains, pride, know-it-all attitudes, and self-centered behavior (when Jupiter turns negative). Jupiter’s lack of motion right now makes all the themes mentioned above super-powerful — for good or ill. Think more about your higher destiny on Spaceship Earth and be thankful for your blessings.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, November 5th
We might have plans to do something fun, but obligations take precedence over pleasure today. The cavalier Sagittarius Moon stimulates adventurous fantasies and lofty dreams, but we’re anchored by circumstances beyond our control. However, upon closer examination it’s apparent that we made the choices that have led us here. Oddly enough, we begin to look forward to fulfilling our commitments as desirous Venus enters responsible Capricorn.
Aries Horoscope
(Mar 21 – Apr 19)
Your emotions are flying all over the place today as the evocative Moon’s visit to exuberant Sagittarius accentuates your impulsive reactions to whatever is happening. However, your moods are inconsistent now and others could tire of your changing needs. Don’t push your luck. You might just get what you want if you know when to quit. But if you expect too much, you may be left unsatisfied. Ultimately, the choice is yours.
Taurus Horoscope
(Apr 20 – May 20)
You may be more concerned with fulfilling obligations to others than enjoying yourself today. Your key planet Venus enters dutiful Capricorn, requiring you to set aside your desires for immediate pleasure. Fortunately, it’s easy to postpone gratification if you believe that waiting will increase your overall stability. Make your decisions carefully now; the more time you spend considering your options, the better the outcome.
Gemini Horoscope
(May 21 – Jun 20)
You don’t want to do what everyone currently expects of you, but this isn’t an ideal time to express your true feelings and rebel against the status quo. You might think you can just skip an activity that you prefer to avoid now, but your retreat won’t go unnoticed and could create unnecessary ripples. Save your great escape for another day; just be responsible and hold up your end of the bargain today if you want others to do the same.
Cancer Horoscope
(Jun 21 – Jul 22)
Your resistance may be futile as you’re dragged out of your shell today no matter what you do. Although you’re tempted to go to great lengths in order to protect yourself from being judged, you’re better off softening your defenses and interacting lovingly with your friends and family. Keeping things real is more important now than avoiding your emotions just because they are inconvenient or scary. Open your heart and let love in.
Leo Horoscope
(Jul 23 – Aug 22)
Your inspirational perspective is contagious today and your positive attitude is appreciated by your coworkers. Nevertheless, there is a mysterious brew of complex emotions in your world that could compete with one another. Don’t be too quick to choose sides now or your rigidity will only add to the chaos. Make a choice if you must, but avoid attaching yourself to a specific outcome. Ultimately, happiness comes from within.
Virgo Horoscope
(Aug 23 – Sep 22)
Steering clear of authorities might be the key to making this quite a memorable day. However, you could inadvertently say or do the wrong thing, thus provoking an unnecessary battle for control. If you are sincere in your intentions, you should be able to avoid getting into trouble with someone who is in charge. Forget about showing everyone how powerful you are today; instead simply focus on creating harmony.
Libra Horoscope
(Sep 23 – Oct 22)
Apparently you’re not in control now, even if you thought you were running the show. The fact is that someone else may be the real authority, even if he or she isn’t around to oversee things. Nevertheless, it’s up to you to take charge of your own life. Thankfully, self-discipline is easier for you when your key planet Venus is moving through calculating Capricorn. Carefully observe what’s happening, but don’t try to alter the dynamics.
Scorpio Horoscope
(Oct 23 – Nov 21)
You know that you can do everything that’s required of you today, even if your confidence is waning a bit. Ultimately, you come through for one good reason: you know that someone is counting on you. You’re highly motivated to push up against your limits and exceed everyone’s expectations. Go ahead and show others exactly what you can do, but don’t judge anyone else too harshly just because you are accomplishing so much.
Sagittarius Horoscope
(Nov 22 – Dec 21)
Managing your self-esteem may be a real challenge for you these days. Luckily, there are some fairly straightforward things you can do to keep yourself on the right track now and eliminating unnecessary activities should be at the very top of your list. It’s far better to have fewer tasks to do and more time to get them done. Be smart and create realistic goals to set yourself up for success.
Capricorn Horoscope
(Dec 22 – Jan 19)
Although you could have your fair share of impulsive moments today, nothing is gained by letting your need for instant gratification run away with your day. Responsibilities are weighing heavily on your shoulders and as much as you can support the weight, you’re also watching for quick escapes throughout the day. Your commitment to doing the right thing grows stronger now that sweet Venus is visiting your practical sign. Thankfully, taking the higher road is enough to get you through these days without creating unnecessary trouble.
Aquarius Horoscope
(Jan 20 – Feb 18)
You don’t want to be seen as the responsible one today. And although you would prefer just being part of the crowd, you might begrudgingly take the lead so you can make sure that everyone has as good a day as possible. You are quite deliberate in your overall approach now, even if you appear to be footloose and fancy-free. Pay attention to how you are being perceived because your strategy could backfire if it looks like you aren’t being serious enough.
Pisces Horoscope
(Feb 19 – Mar 20)
The idea of being a member of a larger group is quite appealing to you now that resourceful Venus is entering your 11th House of Friends. You seek stability and meaning from your interactions with others, but your need to express your own beliefs could create problems with those who disagree with you. Minimize conflict by temporarily downplaying your personal proclivities. Make today about team spirit and not your individual needs.

Earn the love you deserve while Venus is in Capricorn
Tarotcom Staff on the topics of venus, love, capricorn, astrologyGet ready for a shift in your love life! Love planet Venus has been in adventurous Sagittarius since the beginning of October, a time when most of us felt more confident, attracted more suitors and experienced an uptake in our social lives.
Now, however, it’s time to get serious. Venus, the planet of love, pleasure and beauty, moves into earthy Capricorn on November 5, 2013. This transit encourages sweet Venus to take a hard stance on romance, and it becomes a time when love truly must be earned.
Venus in Capricorn has a mature approach to relationships. Couples will spend more time now working through their problems and making commitments to one another and to shared goals. This is not the time for lovers to slack off!
If you’re single, this doesn’t sound as much fun as flirty Venus in Sagittarius, does it? But the good news is that if you meet someone now, it won’t be a flighty flirt that’s over as soon as it begins. With Venus in Capricorn, we’re playing for keeps.
In addition to its effect on love and relationships, Venus in Capricorn has the same serious effect on all things relating to beauty. You may find yourself dressing less flashy now, or putting your hair in a more subdued style. If you’re decorating your home, you may also go for a more conservative look now.
Also, if you’re interested in pursuing any artistic endeavors, now is a great time to get started. Capricorn will give creative Venus the stick-to-it-iveness to start art projects and see them through to the finish.
Capricorn isn’t flashy — it’s about getting real and building foundations for the future. So take advantage of this caring Capricorn energy and use it to achieve your relationship goals! Put in the hard work now so you can earn the love you deserve.
Daily Cosmic Calendar for November 5th
Are you sensing a strong shift about to occur and don’t know what it is? You may be tuning into the annual Sun-Saturn conjunction in Scorpio that occurs on Wednesday morning as well as Jupiter’s virtual station and reversal in Cancer that happens on Wednesday night. With the two largest planets in our solar system — Jupiter and Saturn — making big news on Wednesday, many inspired members of humanity are already picking up on the potent vibrations ahead of time. Before confronting whatever Jupiter and Saturn have to offer you — particularly on the business and professional fronts — it is wise to deal with more immediate matters as Venus enters Capricorn (12:44AM this morning). This is an unusual Venus entry into a new zodiacal sign because Venus will remain in Capricorn until March 5, 2014. Normally, Venus spends 3 to 4 weeks in a sign — not 4 months. However, Venus is poised to slow down in its forward motion in December, stopping and going into reverse on December 21, 2013 and staying retrograde until January 31, 2014. Venus in the tenth sign of the zodiac can provide some benefits for traditional approaches to making business deals provide rewards over the long haul — although expecting quick results is foolish. Energizing professional aims, as you keep climbing your personal mountain toward worldly achievements, is a key theme of Venus spending 4 months in earthy, industrious Capricorn. Keep your mind open to flashes of genius as the Moon in Sagittarius makes a harmonious trine of 120-degrees to Uranus in Aries (3:39AM). Be more cautious and careful starting at 8:49AM when the Moon squares off with Mars — starting a nearly 29-hour void lunar uncertainty zone in Sagittarius that lasts until 1:45PM tomorrow. Stay as mellow as possible during this long lunar time-span, enjoying plenty of R and R and not trying to push your personal agenda or conduct arm-twisting maneuvers with colleagues or loved ones.

Your Love Horoscopes for the Week of November 4th
If you haven’t been taking love seriously lately, expect your attitude to change this week. Venus moves into stern Capricorn, and your approach to romance will take on a decidedly sober flavor. You’ll have a pragmatic slant to relationships and you will be far more security-minded. The Sun’s connection to Saturn on Wednesday will prompt an ever stronger test for some. Fortunately, Venus will embrace Neptune on Thursday, softening any rough edges and allowing you to still believe in happy endings. By Sunday, Mercury will turn direct and you’ll regain clarity on a vital matter of intimacy.
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
If there’s a relationship skeleton in your closet, you will need to handle it like a grown up this week. A serious decision is looming regarding how much of yourself you’re willing or able to share with your mate. On Wednesday, expect an absolute test regarding this situation, as your privacy buttons are sure to be pushed. Ready or not, it’s decision time. If you’re not willing to go all-in, then perhaps it’s time to let go. You can’t have it both ways.
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)
If you’re single, your attention may turn toward someone who is from a background quite different from your own this week. Your heart will long for someone who’s willing to take that magic carpet ride with you, as you both explore a whole new world. If you’re in a relationship, Wednesday might be a difficult day. Expect a test in your commitment or a feeling of being overburdened in your partnership. After Sunday you’ll find it easier to talk to your mate about a difficult topic.
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)
When Venus sails into your 8th House of Shared Intimacy on Tuesday, your erotic side will surely be stimulated. Now is the time to share one of your fantasies with your mate — even if it’s a little on the taboo side. In fact, revealing your desires in an open, honest way will be the fastest way to assure your mate that you’re all-in. In addition to sexual benefits, you might learn that your spouse or partner is about to benefit you financially. He or she may receive a raise or hefty bonus.
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)
If you’re single, this Wednesday you might experience feelings of isolation. Try not to give in to despair if you’re going through a dry spell. Realize that there is a time for everything — including love. There are valuable reasons why you’re going solo right now, and they have everything to do with defining what it is you truly expect in a love relationship. Do the work and love will arrive when it’s meant to be. If you’re married, you and your mate are about to enjoy a special phase of extra harmony together.
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)
If you’ve got the hots for someone at work, you may discover that your feelings are mutual this week. In fact, you might even begin to date, thanks to a gorgeous alignment of Venus to Neptune on Thursday. This romance might even feel too good to be true, filling your heart with all sorts of bliss. Otherwise, health and wellness are directly related to romantic potential this week. If you’re visiting someone at the hospital, keep your eyes open. The cafeteria might not have the best food, but it just might hold your soul mate.
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
Love is in the air! Venus will enter your 5th House of True Love and Pleasure on Tuesday, and by Thursday you may feel as if you’ve found the perfect someone. If you’re already in a relationship, it’s likely that you and your mate will enjoy an extra special dose of harmony. Consider a mid-week romantic date night to help reignite the sparks between you. You may also find that an evening of entertainment reminds you how much you simply enjoy being together, no matter what is on the agenda.
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
You and your mate are likely to focus more on family matters this week — an emphasis that will certainly bring you closer. Perhaps a relative needs your help. If this is the case, the two of you will brainstorm happily on ways to be of service. You may also decide to embark on a home decorating project together, and if so you’ll enjoy every moment of it. Be careful not to overspend — you might have champagne tastes, but remember you’re on a beer budget.
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
If you’re single and looking for love, you may find it right in your own backyard this week. Venus will enter the area of your chart that rules your neighborhood and environment. You may discover that a sexy someone moves on your block or in your apartment building. Be sure to introduce yourself with an inviting housewarming gift! After Sunday, Mercury will turn direct in your sign, allowing you to say what you mean without stumbling over your words. Ah, at last!
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
Your sense of self-worth is about to move up a notch. Because you’ll feel more confident and self-assured, you’ll display qualities that will surely make you more attractive to a potential or current romantic partner. Don’t discount a relative’s offer to set you up with someone if you’re single. Even if it’s a blind date, give it a shot — you might fall head-over-heels in love! Also, after Sunday you will find it easier to let go of an anxiety about intimacy that you might have found troubling. Good for you!
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
With Venus moving into your sign on Tuesday, you’ll suddenly find yourself even more alluring to others. In fact, your personal magnetism may help you meet someone new. The best part is that you only need to be yourself to attract others. Your irresistible quotient will be based on your typically cautious and practical approach to love. Someone who knows you’re worth any wait will likely be drawn to you now. Expect a conversation with your lover or potential suitor on Thursday to go even better than you hope.
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
You might want more privacy when it comes to your love life. Perhaps you feel that you and your mate need to take time away from the hectic world and focus on just the two of you. Schedule a spiritual retreat or a few days at a spa together to help you reconnect. If you’re in a situation where you have feelings for someone who is unable or unwilling to reciprocate, you might feel a bit of anxiety about it now. Ask yourself why you’re attracted to someone who is unavailable. And don’t be afraid of the answer.
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
If you’ve grown fond of a friend in more than just a platonic way, there could be an interesting development this week. You might learn that your pal shares this romantic affinity and would like to explore the potential. Because this thought might initially make you both nervous, the two of you might feel safer to keep your budding relationship private while you’re in the initial stages of figuring it all out. One thing is certain: The best love affairs have a solid friendship. You’re already halfway there.
Daily Cosmic Calendar for Monday, November 4th
There’s no real need to be racing out of the starting gate this morning with the Moon void in Scorpio until 12:15PM. Of course, if you are awake around 1:17AM, you can take advantage of a surprising boost on the compatibility front as Juno in Aquarius makes a supportive, 60-degree link to Uranus in Aries. Interest in fashion and style is rising, but last night’s abrasive, 45-degree between Venus and Saturn can still keep deep romantic urges on temporary hold. Once the Moon breaks out of the fixed, power zone of hard-driving Scorpio and into the mutable, upbeat terrain of Sagittarius (12:15PM), it is a more welcome monthly time-period for fun, games, sports, and striving to hit the bull’s-eye of long-range goals. The lunar change from Scorpio to Sagittarius each month is often the most emotionally dramatic of any lunar metamorphosis. Thus, breathe several sighs of relief and get going with ventures that make you enthusiastic and content. Working on your behalf is a supportive, 60-degree connection from the Moon to Ceres (1:10PM). Make helpful dietary and nutritional changes that can strengthen your immune system. Nurture maternal figures and children in your circle of friends and relatives. Let the good times roll tonight as a party atmosphere develops. Enjoy card, board or word games. Restore faith in yourself and the future. [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Standard Time. Be sure to adjust all times according to your own local time so the alignments noted above will be exact for your location.]
