Your Daily Cosmic Calendar for October 2nd

If you are sensing a higher buzz and busy type energy-field all around you, chalk it up to the large number of celestial alignments going on at the start of this month. Yesterday’s activation of all three outer planets — not a usual occurrence in one 24-hour time-period — is now amplified by over 10 sky patterns today.  Look over the following list: Venus makes a frictional, 45-degree tie to Pluto (1:51AM); Saturn trines Chiron (2:38AM); the Moon makes its monthly union with Vesta in Virgo (7:30AM); the Moon parallels Uranus (8:05AM); Mercury squares Juno (11:06AM); the Moon makes its monthly union with Ceres in Virgo (6:29PM); Vesta forms an off-kilter, 150-degree tie to Uranus (7:48PM); Mercury makes an inspirational, 72-degree connection with Mars (8:16PM) and also forms a contra-parallel with the red planet (9:08PM); the Sun makes an off-kilter, 150-degree link to Chiron (9:25PM); and the Moon forms a supportive, 60-degree tie with Jupiter (10:59PM).  At least three of the above alignments are in the favorable astro-psychic zone while the lunar conjunctions to asteroids Vesta and Ceres can help you tune into investment plans and raise your productivity across the board. Nevertheless, there are enough tensions going on to warn against going too far too fast in affairs of the heart and regarding emotionally sensitive discussions with loved ones. It is also wise to reinforce safety and security measures around your residence and business environment.  [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Daylight Time. Be sure to adjust all times according to your own local time so the alignments noted above will be exact for your location.]

Full Moon in Pisces Horoscopes

Sensitivity and service are highlighted by September’s Full Moon

Jeff Jawer  Jeff Jawer on the topics of pisces, moon, horoscopes, full moon, astrology

It’s time to embrace compassion! The Full Moon in Pisces on September 19, 2013, operates on faith, while the opposing Virgo Sun prefers facts. Yet what these signs have in common is a sense of service.

This Full Moon reminds us that we don’t have to be precise to be helpful and that sometimes making an error with a loving attitude is more beneficial than perfect behavior done with a scowl.

When Pisces compassion combines with Virgo skills, we have the best of both worlds.

Aries (March 21 – April 19)

Spiritual awakening and creative inspiration are potential gifts of this Pisces Full Moon. But it lands in your 12th House of Escapes, which means that you could benefit from taking more breaks from your daily duties and concerns. Seek quiet places in the world to find tranquility in yourself. But this is not peace that puts you to sleep; it’s an ocean of imagination that can take you to more exciting places.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

The compassionate Pisces Full Moon occurs in your 11th House of Friends and Groups, making you a more sensitive and caring ally. Allowing yourself to be supported by others doesn’t make you weak if it helps you do your job and assist your community. But if you’re already sacrificing personal interests to benefit others, make sure that you save some of that love, time and energy for yourself.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

Your sharp mind and quick wit are major professional assets, but this sensitive Pisces Full Moon in your 10th House of Vocation shows that how you feel about your work is as important as what you think. Finding inspiration in your job is possible if you unclutter your head with facts and tune in to emotions — that will help you tap into imagination and faith that take you further in your career.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

Dreams of faraway places are awakened by this magical Pisces Full Moon in your 9th House of Travel and Higher Mind. Studying a subject that touches your soul will take your further than mere academic exercises. Broaden your horizons by planning a trip, connecting with people in distant locations or reading about exotic locales that bring more imagination and beauty into your life.

Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22)

The forgiving Pisces Full Moon lights up your 8th House of Deep Sharing, providing insights into your relationships. Personal and professional partnerships flourish when you are caring, compassionate and working with people who also have these qualities. Use your intuition, because reason alone will not supply the answers you seek to questions about love, intimacy and business alliances.

Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22)

The imaginative Pisces Full Moon opposes the Sun in your precise sign, challenging you to overlook details to feel a bigger picture than cannot be seen by intellect alone. It occurs in your 7th House of Partners, where it can trigger crises in existing alliances but also open doors to people and possibilities with others. Compassion and big dreams are key to making connections that will satisfy your soul.

Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22)

Work can be exhausting if you can’t find meaning in what you do. That’s because this revelatory Pisces Full Moon is in your 6th House of Employment, where it stirs up strong feelings about your job. Getting more rest is one way to keep your competence and confidence high. Yet getting inspiration from a hobby or taking on tasks where you can use your imagination will recharge your batteries.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21)

You could be flooded with romantic feelings with this dreamy Pisces Full Moon in your 5th House of Love. Expressing yourself in poetic, imaginative and creative ways are other means for riding these inspirational waves of energy. You’re ready to show more tenderness and expose some of your vulnerability because these are effective ways to appear more attractive and bring others into your life.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21)

This tender Pisces Full Moon lands in your domestic 4th House of Home and Family, where it signals a need to pay more attention to your personal life. Spending more time at home and relaxing in peaceful places will bring insights into your past that will make you more excited about the future. But there’s less need to push yourself ahead now because quiet times and contemplation reveal fresh sources of inspiration.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19)

Looking at the world around you with less critical eyes will reveal much more than logic now. This intuitive Pisces Full Moon occupies your 3rd House of Perception and Communication, making you more sensitive to what you see, say and hear. Tender conversations and the freedom to fantasize are not distractions but are sources of inspiration and faith that give your life more meaning.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18)

Insights into income opportunities come with this sensitive Pisces Full Moon in your 2nd House of Money. This lunation could awaken old dreams about work that touch your heart. The path to a better cash flow comes from creativity and imagination now, so make sure you don’t set aside fantasies that might not appear to be practical but which can lead you to greater prosperity.

Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20)

The Pisces Full Moon touches your 1st House of Outward Appearance. It could inspire you to be more creative in your look and in the ways to you connect with people. But it can also increase uncertainty about where you stand with others. Be gentle with yourself, nourish your dreams and forgive any mistakes you’ve made. Others’ criticism counts less than attending your own needs now.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for September 17th

With the next Full Moon occurring on Thursday, today and tomorrow become the monthly, 48-hour time-period of preparation for the enlightening spiritual vibrations getting ready to descend from the higher planes of divinity into human consciousness. Thirteen times in every calendar year, this sacred and mostly invisible process takes place — although over the past hundred years, there are now many groups that actively congregate, in a positive manner, to help bring through these exalted vibrations as purely as possible.  Providing an early support system for this preparation cycle is this morning’s Mercury-Mars 60-degree contact (12:18AM) followed shortly by a nurturing Venus-Ceres contra-parallel (1:49AM). Nevertheless, both of these aspects occur while the Moon may be laboring in a void uncertainty zone in Aquarius. A more confusing, chaotic situation can develop when Vesta in Virgo makes a fairly rare opposition to Neptune in Pisces (6:35AM). Keep your valuables and assets safe and secure.  The Moon’s entry into Pisces (6:59AM) is the monthly reminder to be more compassionate and empathic to the truly needy and disenfranchised. Steer clear of mental fatigue as Pallas forms an off-kilter, 150-degree tie with sometimes loopy Neptune (8:28AM). On the other hand, enhancing your creative imagination and psychic abilities later on fits right into the monthly union of the Moon with Neptune in Pisces (12:39PM). Experiment with a digital or video camera for fun or profit. Make a note or record especially significant dreams and visions that have set your mind ablaze during the last few days.  If you are reasonable and careful, you may be able to mix business with some moderate types of pleasure as the Moon trines Venus (8:16PM) and Saturn (9:34PM) — two celestial bodies that are on the verge of uniting in Scorpio tomorrow.  Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Daylight Time. Be sure to adjust all times according to your own local time so the alignments noted above will be exact for your location.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for September 12th

In the early going, you can rest on your laurels following yesterday’s grand trine in fire signs — composed of the Moon in Sagittarius, Mars in Leo and Uranus in Aries. Revelations abound and ingenious ideas can appear in your mind’s-eye like fiery comets dashing through the evening sky.  However, if you need to run important errands and take care of key business matters, then consider accomplishing these tasks well before the First Quarter Sun-Moon Phase clocks in at 10:09AM (activating 21 degrees of Virgo and Sagittarius). Quarter moon cycles like this one emphasize the need to cut through apparent obstacles on physical-emotional levels while you manage your professional affairs with greater finesse. Nevertheless, this solar-lunar face-off of 90-degrees also begins a void lunar uncertainty zone that lasts until 2:57AM tomorrow.  Once the void-of-course Moon takes over, pushing the envelope in any direction is fruitless. Relax, smell the roses, appreciate life’s little blessings, and sip your favorite beverage to chase away the blues or a recent build-up of stress.  Expect the unexpected around the time that the Sun parallels Uranus (4:50PM). Breakthroughs in higher consciousness can occur when the Sun makes this highly illuminating alignment. Healing forces rise to the occasion when Mercury parallels Chiron (10:06PM). Think more like a mentor or shaman — being a conduit for heavenly wisdom to become earthly knowledge in service to humanity.  Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Daylight Time. Be sure to adjust all times according to your own local time so the alignments noted above will be exact for your location.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for September 10th

Easy does it. Yesterday’s Mars-Saturn clash of the titans has not disappeared entirely and a new threat to peace and serenity is on the horizon as Mars is approaching an off-kilter, 150-degree tie with secretive Pluto. Plus, what seems like a supportive, 60-degree contact between the Moon in Scorpio and the Sun in Virgo (2:22AM) is somewhat illusory because this aspect begins a 21+ hour void lunar uncertainty zone until 11:37PM.  Strive to mellow out completely while the Moon is in strange territory. Avoid emotional and mental fatigue as Venus squares off with Pallas (4:06PM). Hold off on questionable business decisions with Venus parallel to Saturn (5:17PM). The big chill can influence unstable romantic relationships.  Just before the Moon ends its void-of-course cycle by entering fiery Sagittarius (11:37PM), Venus leaves the friendly sign of Libra for potentially adversarial Scorpio (11:17PM) — a cycle that lasts until October 7. The universe is still rocking and rolling four minutes after the lunar entry into Sagittarius as Mars in Leo forms an off-kilter, 150-degree link with Pluto (11:41PM). Projecting angry feelings on unsuspecting loved ones is a no-no. Egocentric, self-serving attitudes bite the dust. Be a Rock of Gibraltar for the truly needy.  Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Daylight Time. Be sure to adjust all times according to your own local time so the alignments noted above will be exact for your location.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for September 4th

The dark-of-the-moon vibrations — mentioned in yesterday’s calendar entry — are now even stronger. The over-arching theme throughout today is the need to finish recent enterprises on a high note without leaping headlong into new, bold plans.  The void Moon in Leo that started yesterday morning ends at 3:45AM when the lunar orb enters earthy, meticulous Virgo. Clean-up campaigns, health and nutritional concerns, weeding the garden, perfecting talents and skills, and pursuing repair work are all in the spotlight each month when the Moon transits the sixth sign of the zodiac.  However, psychic storm warnings are posted across the board today as often belligerent Mars forms a discordant contra-parallel with underworld-ruling Pluto (6:41AM), Mercury makes a frictional, 45-degree tie with Saturn (2:43PM), Mercury parallels its higher-guardian planet Uranus (4:39PM), and Mars opposes Juno (8:53PM).  Rocking any boats can lead to instant karma as well as interpersonal backlashes. Say no to egocentric arm-twisting maneuvers where you are playing a manipulative role out of character with who you know yourself to be on higher levels of reality. Being more of a hermit and reading, writing and delving into research projects may be an antidote to some of today’s celestial shenanigans.  Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Daylight Time. Be sure to adjust all times according to your own local time so the alignments noted above will be exact for your location.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Monday, September 2

We are motivated to express our feelings in a bold and beautiful way today, yet an early morning Mars-Neptune aspect may have us floating aimlessly in space for a while. Meanwhile, the theatrical Leo Moon encourages drama. A combative Mercury-Mars alignment could turn things aggressive as buried tensions rise to the surface, setting the stage for the possibility of conflict. Expecting the unexpected is a smart idea, but isn’t always easy to do.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You are enthusiastic about your future prospects, yet as soon as you make your move, the energy begins to disperse. The problem is that you must figure out where you want to go before your new path is revealed. Nevertheless, this doesn’t lessen the likelihood of a significant shift. Something’s going to change; you just need to decide what. Adopting a proactive approach enables you to be in charge of the direction you take.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

You may have to respond to an unexpected twist of fate, testing your confidence. But this unscheduled hiccup isn’t necessarily negative, for you can turn an upsetting situation into one that is quite enjoyable. Still, you probably won’t know where the day will take you, even if you have a well-developed plan in place. Don’t worry if things fall apart; they will reorganize into something better in the next few days. Embrace the chaos as a vehicle for creating positive change.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

Your concern over losing independence is triggered now that new responsibilities are weighing heavily on you. Unfortunately, you are probably more scattered than usual, so find somewhere to sit alone in a quiet place to reclaim your center. This little exercise to eliminate some of the extraneous noise in your life can turn your day around. Thankfully, you may be pleasantly surprised how easy it is once you remove the unnecessary distractions.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Facing an unusual set of circumstances is not your idea of a fun-filled day. Others, it seems, are not playing the current game according to your rules. Although confusion might not seem like a source of happiness, an unplanned detour could bring additional freedom that enables you to respond in new ways. Trusting your intuition can help you stabilize the imbalanced situation and save the day.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

A bit of confusion now isn’t as worrisome as it seems at first. You are on a creative roll, so keep your eyes wide open so you can recognize the truth when you see it. It doesn’t matter whether or not information is coming from totally unexpected quarters. You are being shown an extreme solution to a problem that doesn’t have a normal way out. Take a leap of faith and fly.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your dilemma is that logic and practicality won’t fix anything now, which doesn’t make you happy one bit. After all, you are itching for a dramatic transformation. Tread carefully because there is irrepressible movement stimulating tension within a relationship. If you attempt to withhold your energy, it could be awkwardly expressed by someone else. It’s better, of course, when change originates from your heart.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You are considered to be a champion of harmony and grace, but you might not feel so accommodating today. Expect sudden shifts of energy, even if you have trouble putting your finger on the source. If someone suggests an idea that you can’t immediately wrap your mind around, don’t judge it too quickly. Let the thought unfold completely before you dismiss it as crazy. It’s crucial to remain open to radical change and a new perspective offers you a chance to build something real and lasting.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your friends might seem rather rigid in their thinking today, possibly pushing you to lose your temper and yell loudly as you try to wake them up to the truth. Even if you are thinking about the sacrifices you made and the freedom you gave up, don’t try to force others to see things your way. Concentrate on the dynamics of what’s happening and don’t focus on any one particular outcome. Keeping your options open helps others to do the same.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You may be chasing a rainbow today, only to see it reappear over the next hill again and again. You have grown weary of the disappointments and frustrations and are reaching another fork in the road. You want to make something happen right away and you’re eager to go where you’ve never gone. Change is in the air; initiating bold action greatly improves your chances of finding the pot of gold.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Escaping the stress is nearly impossible if you insist on your world being neat and tidy with everything under control. However, seeking the safety of stable structures isn’t an option today. Whatever you have relied on in the past is now shifting. Fortunately, once you move beyond your fear of the unknown, you may find your journey quite exhilarating. Free your mind and enjoy the ride.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Your life feels unsettled today, yet something may happen that helps to facilitate the changes you want. A close friend or partner might demand your assistance, even if you can’t deliver what’s needed. Instead of stressing about an impossible situation, explain your limited availability as objectively as you can. Although you could have to manage someone else’s disappointment, a compassionate approach should smooth over any ruffled feathers along the way.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You are usually willing to go along with the changing tides, even if permanent shifts don’t always come easily to you. However, you have a wonderful opportunity now to alter your direction if you can remain adaptable to the current situation. You inspire others with your faith, especially if you aren’t afraid of taking radical action at the right time. Remember, it’s the dramatic gestures that will have the most impact today.

Your Love Forecast for the Week of September 2nd

With a New Moon in discerning Virgo this week, there might be more of an emphasis on perfection and reaching for impossible standards in love. Romance doesn’t need to go completely out the window, but in order to stop and smell the roses you must first cultivate them. This week, improve your love life by paying attention to what needs a major overhaul or even just a little TLC. The scent of amore will be all the sweeter.
Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

The week starts out playful, thanks to the Moon passing through your 5th house of Romance and Pleasure on Monday and Tuesday. As the Moon creates a gorgeous link to Venus — now in your 7th House of Partnership — you’ll notice how much you enjoy being in the company of your loved one. Nothing special needs to happen; you’ll find joy in each other’s presence. A little compliment will go a long way. Isn’t it nice to feel so loved that all you want to do is love back harder?

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Romantic prospects will shine! On Thursday, a New Moon lights up your 5th House of True Love. If single, you’ll have gorgeous prospects to meet someone new — someone with the ability to make your heart skip a beat! You’re likely to enjoy listening to this person’s conversational style, and you might even feel like you’ve met your intellectual match. By Saturday the Sun will beam at Jupiter, now in your 3rd House of Communication. Sharing coffee and conversation on a date has never been more fun!

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Sharing ideas or a sweet conversation with your lover will be even more fulfilling this week than usual. The Moon will pass through your 3rd House of Communication on Monday and Tuesday, connecting perfectly with love planet Venus. These days will be ideal to have a conversation with someone special about the direction of your relationship, or to simply express how you really feel in this person’s presence. Most likely, he or she has the ability to light up your world. Don’t keep this to yourself.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

A New Moon in your 3rd House of Communication this week will set the stage for a vital conversation between you and your sweetheart. This talk will not be lighthearted, but it does have the power to stabilize your relationship and allow each of you to truly understand your obligation to each other. Has there been a test to your commitment recently? This week, you’ll want to talk about it. You’ll clear the air and be in a position to keep any promise you make.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You might start out the week being more self-involved, but you’ll still have an ability to capture someone’s heart, thanks to your ability to wear your heart on your sleeve. What will be most obvious about you on Monday and Tuesday is the fact that “what you see is what you get,” and this can be a breath of fresh air. On Saturday, you’ll feel especially valued by someone you love and you might even decide to arrange a surprise for this person. He or she will be delighted at your effort.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

A New Moon in your sign this week is a sure signal to the universe that you’re ready for a personal change. On Thursday, this lunation might open up new doors in the relationship department, as well. You may decide to change up your personal appearance in some way, and if so others are certain to notice and appreciate the new look. You’ll be open about your requirements in relationship, including any deal-breaker qualities. Your honesty will be refreshing … to the right person.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your social life will kick up to high gear early in the week, and you might want to consider going out with friends after work to maximize this energy. There’s a good chance for you to meet someone while you attend a meeting for any group you’re a member of, or at any social function. There is also promising potential if you’re interested in meeting someone through a dating website or other social media outlet. Your charm will be contagious!

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Love isn’t always what it seems, and this Wednesday you might relate to this in a personal way. The Moon will oppose Neptune, now in your 5th House of True Love. This might lend itself to an emotional reaction you can’t be sure you trust. Perhaps someone has true feelings for you, but it’s also possible that he or she is playing you for a fool. Thankfully, Thursday’s New Moon will bring new light to the situation, and if you ask a friend to weigh in, he or she will help you gain the clarity you need.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

The week may be quiet in matters of the heart, but by the time the weekend arrives you’ll be buzzing with romantic drama. On Saturday, the Moon will oppose Uranus, now in your 5th House of Romance. Your sweetheart might be “in a mood,” and you’re not likely to have patience for this erratic swing. Thankfully, it’ll be temporary and not an all-consuming drama fest. Still, you may want to spend the weekend apart just to play it safe.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You might reach new horizons with your partner this week. On Saturday, a gorgeous sextile between Jupiter and the Sun will help you open up to an exciting adventure with your mate. The two of you may decide to attend a workshop or spiritual retreat together, or you may plan a thrilling vacation to an exotic location. Even if all you do is sign up for a class to learn a new language, the fact that you’re engaging in a brand new experience together is what matters most.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Intimacy issues? Sure, we all face them at some point, but this week you’ll begin to attack yours in the most pragmatic way possible. A New Moon on Thursday will fall in your 8th House Deep Transformation. This will touch on physical, emotional and spiritual resources you share with someone close. What makes you vulnerable and naked on a soul level? This is the hot button you’ll work on fixing so you’ll be able to feel a greater level of trust and openness in your close relationship. Love doesn’t always have to hurt.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

This week’s New Moon in your 7th House of Partnerships could be a solid turning point in love. You and someone close may decide to make a commitment to each other, perhaps by moving in together or even by getting engaged or married. If you’re already hitched, you can expect a lovely new development between you and your mate. On Saturday, when the Sun in your 7th house sends a positive signal to Jupiter, now in your 5th House of Romance, sparks are sure to fly!

Daily Horoscopes for Sunday, September 1

image Aries Emotional discomfort can drive you        right to the edge and yet there’s something validating in all the adrenaline that’s released. An intense relationship drama could take its        toll, but once you express what’s on your mind, you are left feeling replenished and refreshed. Don’t try to figure out what just happened;        instead, look ahead and place your attention on reinventing your future. image
image
image Taurus You may not be very kind to yourself        today when comparing what you have to what you want. If you fall short of your own expectations, you might even think that it’s your own fault, no        matter how hard you tried. Luckily, a close friend or family member could show up with more support than you expect. Don’t push others away now        just because you want to appear invincible. There’s no need to hide, even if you are uncomfortable revealing your vulnerability.         image
image
image Gemini Your constant movement is actually        enjoyable for you today. The same kind of activity might stress someone else, but it matches the pace of your thoughts and makes you feel productive.        Unfortunately this doesn’t necessarily mean that you will accomplish very much. It’s up to you; spin your wheels and fritter away the day, or        focus your attention on getting results and not just looking busy. image
image
image Cancer You are ready to take action today,        but you still might not want to swing into motion too quickly. You may spend the first part of the day going over your thoughts, thinking through all        the possible outcomes to your various strategies. Make your plans early in the day and then use the fiery Leo Moon’s confidence to start out on        your path. Remember, small steady steps now are the smartest approach. image
image
image Leo The Moon’s return to your sign today        brings your feelings out into the open. Even if you’ve been holding your emotions close to your heart, now it’s time to share them with others        or, ideally, with a special someone. But don’t just go around expressing every thought that flashes through your mind, for keeping healthy        boundaries is still a good idea. Remember your reactions to a situation are ultimately your business alone; discussing them with others is        discretionary. image
image
image Virgo The Moon’s entry into your 12th        House of Secrets today creates a bit of a dilemma for you. You are pulled between telling someone how you feel and saying nothing at all. Ultimately,        you are better off if you reveal some of your hidden feelings, but it’s probably not a good idea to ramble on incessantly about issues that do not        concern others. Pay close attention to what you’re saying and use your discretion to know when to stop. image
image
image Libra The Moon’s entry into your 11th        House of Groups today can be socially inviting. You are part of a family now and might derive extra sweet feelings from being involved with others. But        you’ll need to draw the line somewhere or you’ll be lured into a drama that really doesn’t directly impact you. You can be kind and hold        your ground at the same time. image
image
image Scorpio You may be asked to perform a task        at work today that requires a substantial knowledge of technology. Even if you have the training and know that you can do the job, you still might feel        as if you want to be doing something else. Instead of dropping everything and jumping into your new assignment, reserve some time for high-touch        activities to balance out the high-tech ones. image
image
image Sagittarius Strong feelings continue to rise        from the hidden backwaters of your imagination. Luckily, the themes are likely uplifting and even inspirational. But you need to be able to do        something practical with your dreams now or you could be left feeling frustrated. Don’t let the day get away from you; apply your good ideas one at        a time, when each thought first enters your awareness. image
image
image Capricorn It’s not so easy for you today        because you are struggling with whether or not to share your current attraction with someone already close to you. If you decide that you must go        forward, then at least do it in a conscious manner. The best way to prevent anyone from experiencing emotional pain or rejection is to remain        unattached to any specific outcome. image
image
image Aquarius You could easily slip into an old        relationship pattern as the Moon in your 7th House of Partners conjoins the karmic South Node of the Moon. Just because something worked for you in the        past, there is no assurance that it will again work in your favor. Nevertheless, it’s all about how you respond to someone else now. Keep your        initial reaction to yourself and only after you have thought things through should you actually do something about it. image
image
image Pisces The Moon’s entry into your 6th        House of Habits reminds you to consider the relationship between health and diet. Even if you already eat consciously, today is a great day to make        minor changes in your menu. It’s always a good idea to improve your exercise program, too. Any decisive action taken now should have positive long        lasting ramifications.

The Daily Humorscopes

For

Sunday, September 1

 

Aries (March 21 – April 19)

After spending days learning to simultaneously pat your head and rub your tummy, you will move on today to patting your head and rubbing someone else’s tummy.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

You will find a strangely heavy small gold ring today, embedded in the center of an obviously volcanic rock. There is some writing, in a script unlike any you’ve ever seen, running around the ring, although you can’t really see it unless you heat it up in a fire…

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

Everyone you see will be “power walking” today. Ignore them — they’re just trying to get on your nerves.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

Beware! The Celestial Jade Emperor may banish you to the Big Grumpy Place if you don’t start paying more attention to the four Winds. Obviously, this is a metaphor, somehow involving Cleveland.

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

You will walk into a door frame today, and people will smirk. Remember though, they’re smirking with you, not at you.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

Your neighbors’ will have a wild party, which you’ll catch glimpses of through the open window. You’ll know you shouldn’t watch, but it’s just hard to imagine how people can do that, especially on a trampoline.

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

Avoid yodeling today.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

It’s about time you became better acquainted with mustard. Get yourself 7 different kinds of mustard, and try them with oven baked home fried potatoes, or in sandwiches with good bread and fresh vegetables and some excellent Swiss cheese. My granddaddy Stonebender always used to say “Take a big enough bite of strong mustard, and your other problems will seem insignificant.”

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

Someone will turn a cold shoulder to you, and your feelings will be hurt. You’ll get even by turning a tepid elbow to them, later. Just don’t let it escalate to the blazing ankles stage, is all.

Capricorn (December 22 – January 20)

Nothing ventured, nothing gained, is the rule for now. In fact, “nothing” will play a very large part in your future.

Aquarius (January 21 – February 18)

You will soon need to look older than you actually are. Bushy eyebrows generally do the trick. You’ll find that a little rubber cement and a pair of sleepy hamsters are just what you need.

Pisces (February 19 – March 20)

You’ve been thinking about stealing, to support your phonics habit. It’s time for you to seek professional help.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Wednesday, August 28th

Virgo has many crisis elements imbedded in its nature because it is stage 6 of a 12-step zodiacal process. Therefore, as this sign eventually morphs into Libra — the halfway point of the zodiacal circle — there is a need to eliminate personal non-essentials across the board as a kind of internal purification before beginning the more collective, universal process symbolized by the last six signs of the zodiac.  Right now the Last Quarter Sun-Moon Phase (energizing 6 degrees of Virgo and Gemini at 2:36AM) arrives with a possible intention to stir up worries and turmoil in your mind — especially concerning dietary and health matters. Nevertheless, the key at any quarter moon cycle is to be strong-willed enough to cut through whatever apparent obstacles appear to be blocking your path ahead. And at the Last Quarter Sun-Moon square of 90-degrees, there can actually be a higher mental and even spiritual adjustment that needs to take place.  Adding to today’s possible crisis environment is the arrival of the largest asteroid — Ceres — in Virgo (3:21AM) for the first time since its last transit here from early November 2008 to early August 2009. Many professional astrology researchers believe that Ceres — the ancient goddess of corn and cereals — shares, with Mercury, a co-rulership of the sign of Virgo. Through enormous amounts of research, this appears to be true and in a very deep, soulful manner.  While Ceres entering Virgo this morning — a cycle lasting until November 3 — can be enormously supportive for mother-daughter relationships, food and nutritional matters, and for increasing production in your main fields of expertise, it can also be a catalyst for the difficulties in these same areas of life.  Reading and research are also top priorities since Mercury trines Pluto (7:53AM) while Mercury also forms an illuminating parallel with the Sun (4:57PM).  The several hours prior to a Moon-Venus trine in air signs (9:46PM) constitute a great boost for love bonds, the creative arts, and social activities. However, this Moon-Venus contact also starts a very long void lunar uncertainty cycle that lasts for 30+ hours until 4:34AM on Friday, August 30. (Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Daylight Time. Be sure to adjust all times according to your own local time so the alignments noted above will be exact for your location.)

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Sunday, August 25

Interactions become muddled today as communicator Mercury opposes murky Neptune. Although we aim for precision in our words since Mercury is now moving through exacting Virgo, we lose clarity as the mists of Neptune descend to bring confusion. Analysis is more difficult, but imagination takes center stage. Thankfully, the Moon shifts into pragmatic Taurus at 9:13 am EDT, anchoring us to Earth and preventing us from drifting off into fantasyland.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You are eager to finish up old business today, even if only in preparation for the coming week. You may be confident that you can accomplish all the tasks that are on your current list. Nevertheless, concentrating on your work is a struggle now; you want to spend your time daydreaming about more creative pursuits. Don’t get sidetracked; stick to your agenda and you will be rewarded for what you do rather than for what you think.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

Even if you choose your words carefully today, there’s still plenty of room for your friends to misinterpret what you say. You may believe you are being specific, but others still miss your point. Perhaps you require additional time to fully develop your ideas, even though you might not realize it yet. There’s no need to judge yourself harshly; it’s okay to unfold your perspective slowly. You really don’t need to be in such a hurry to share your story.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

You may be unclear as to what you should be doing today, even if your responsibilities have been spelled out in great detail. Nevertheless, you want to know how your part integrates with the big picture before you carry out your job. Although it isn’t easy to stop asking questions, it’s smarter now to simply do exactly as instructed without attempting to understand how all the pieces of the puzzle fit together. Let go and watch everything magically fall into place.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Although you’re in a contemplative mood today, your thoughts are slightly out of focus. It’s as if you are under a spell that intensifies the magic while preventing you from seeing things as they truly are now. Luckily, you have the ability to conjure up an ideal situation in your mind and then step into it by using your powers of active imagination. This meditative trick may not be useful for making a practical decision, but it’s quite helpful for exploring creative pursuits.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Something unusual is unfolding today yet you can’t seem to put your finger on it. Nevertheless, you are lured toward investigating beyond the obvious in the hope of finding magic hiding in the shadows. Unfortunately, too much searching might actually distract you from the amazing beauty that is right under your nose. For now, the devil may really be in the details.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

It’s quite a feat to cleverly embellish your story so much today that others actually believe you’re telling the truth. Uncharacteristically, you aren’t as worried about the facts now as you are in keeping people interested in your message. There’s nothing wrong with letting your imagination run wild as long as you practice full disclosure, so everyone knows that you’re just sharing a dream.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

It’s easier to be a follower today rather than a leader, even if you have a very specific goal in mind. You can certainly turn on the charm in order to attract someone’s attention, but it may be harder to demonstrate the authority that it takes to be in charge. There’s no shame in letting someone else be the boss now while you relinquish control and recharge your batteries. Being a team player improves your chances for success.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You may express your feelings and present your ideas in a very seductive way today. Although others might not be interested at first, you are adept at drawing them into your story by conjuring up mythical images and fantastic characters. Once you have a captive audience, you can cleverly pull them in even further. However, subtle manipulation of the facts leads to trouble, especially if you’re motivated by fear or greed. There’s nothing wrong with painting a beautiful picture but it’s still safer to simply stick with the facts.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You inspire others today with your grand visions and your carefully orchestrated words. Your gift of gab allows you to string together one idea after another as if each is a pearl on a necklace. However, weaving too many threads of thought into an enchanting tapestry of concepts grows overly complicated, leaving your friends confused, rather than motivated. You may be tempted to play the role of a muse, but it’s wise to balance your creative side by also being practical. Leading by example is your most effective approach.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

If furthering your education is on your mind, start nailing down some of the details right away. Thankfully, you have the patience to focus on the specifics, without losing sight of the big picture now. However, you must be careful not to concentrate too much effort in the wrong direction. Making preliminary decisions today is an excellent idea as long as you leave some options on the table for another few weeks. No matter what your current plans are, expand your vision of the future.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Unrealistic expectations about a recent investment or a large purchase involving others could get you into trouble now. Although you might be able to make money or acquire something of value, you need to take plenty of extra time to separate your hopes from reality. Avoid getting swept up in someone’s idealism today; it’s not wise to believe everything you are told. Diligently check the facts if you want to ensure success.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You’re exceptionally receptive to other people’s ideas today, making you also susceptible to deception. Thankfully, this magical aspect can also awaken your spirituality, inspire your creativity and increase your fascination with music and art. It’s challenging to distinguish between your fantasies and reality now; mischievous Mercury’s opposition to seductive Neptune suggests that you should ask a few questions before you wander down a garden path. Follow your bliss, not someone else’s.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Friday, Aug. 23

We’re eager to jump into the next thing once the Moon moves into impulsive Aries at 3:12 am EDT. However, we may think twice before doing anything since the willful Sun and intellectual Mercury are currently shifting into practical Virgo. Our instinct is to say yes, but we’re smart enough to finish our analysis before taking actions that we might regret. It’s highly likely that circumstances will become more complicated before they are resolved.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You might be too nervous to feel the emotions behind your own words today, even though the Moon’s return to Aries usually put you more in touch with your moods. Your current uneasiness arises from your inability to express yourself as clearly as you wish. Every time you say something, it seems that you are misunderstood. Don’t struggle to explain your motives now; wait a few days and try again. In the meantime, let your actions tell your story for the most positive impact.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

Knowing that you may be reading the signals wrong today tempts you to fill in the missing information with what you think to be true. Unfortunately, your uncertainty can raise fear, prompting you to doubt yourself even more. Instead of trying to categorize everything as either black or white, remember how much of your world is actually various shades of gray. Allowing for many possible interpretations increases your chances of finding happiness.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

You might be more interested in your connections with coworkers and acquaintances today than you are in accomplishing much on your own. It isn’t that you are lazy; it’s just that you prefer to put your energy toward enjoying your interactions with others and creating new relationships instead of doing what’s expected of you. Although you may have a lot of fun with your friends now, don’t forget to round out your day by leaving some time for quiet self-reflection, too.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Dreaming up new ways to approach your work can help you alleviate any boredom that has crept into your life. Although you could distract yourself for a while, following your curiosity doesn’t necessarily resolve your basic questions about life. Today, however, it’s more important to meet your obligations as they arise. Thankfully, you will have ample opportunity throughout the year to explore new territory and redefine your long-term goals.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

A relentless string of responsibilities continues to remind you of the seriousness of life, and you can already tell that there’s significant change in the air. It may take a while for the current transformation to occur, so don’t panic if you feel like there is still too much work to do now and not enough time. Focus all your attention on tying up loose ends today. Clearing the energy allows you to take advantage of the upcoming opportunities.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Although you may try to maintain clarity in communication, you might as well acknowledge that the muse has come to visit you today. Even if you don’t normally write poetry, your thoughts are more in sync with your imagination now than they are with reality. However, blurting things out creates problems because your symbol-rich language paints pictures instead of telling stories. Don’t force your communications into overly formal presentations. Just describe what you see in your mind’s eye and let the magic unfold.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Today’s assertive Aries Moon encourages you to express your desires, instead of trying to accommodate the needs of another person. Of course, a successful relationship benefits from your willingness to balance your partner’s energies with your own. Naturally, you err by leaning toward what others want. Now it’s time to go out on a limb and share your thoughts with someone you trust. Nevertheless, it’s wise to remain detached from the outcome as much as possible. Honest communication is the key to satisfaction.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Although you want to plow ahead with an ambitious plan, you may have to stop to make an adjustment or two so you can get others to help you along the way. Even if you’re tempted to undertake the project by yourself, you can accomplish much more by working as part of a team. Your current dependency is not a weakness; it’s only temporary, so make the most of the support you receive while it’s available. The energy of the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

It seems as if your life is all about your career now, but surface appearances only tell part of the story. You’re yearning for some good old-fashioned fun while the Moon is hanging out in your 5th House of Spontaneity. Luckily, you’re able to have a fine time, but there could be a high price to pay unless you meet your obligations first. Although it may be hard to restrain your adventurous nature, wait a few more days before unilaterally freeing yourself from the shackles of responsibility. Work hard; play harder later.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You probably have a great deal of social responsibilities this weekend, and a supportive anchor on the home front can give you the ability to deepen your roots without necessarily feeling trapped by them. Creating a fertile ground in your personal life adds to your emotional security. This, in turn, affords you the stability you need to accomplish great things at work or out in the community

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

The more you try to get things under control today, the crazier they become, turning this day inside out. You might be running around in circles trying to keep up, but paradoxically, your anxiety diminishes once you loosen your grip on the reins. You won’t be able to complete everything you start in a timely fashion, yet your need to do so may be less urgent than it seems. Maintaining your sense of humor allows you to adapt to the changing circumstances with admirable grace.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your emotions may be directly linked to your material possessions today. If you are doubting your own abilities, you could be tempted to engage in retail therapy to make yourself feel better. Unfortunately, this self-indulgence is not a viable solution; it’s merely a distraction from the real issues. Instead of spending any money, search for the underlying cause of your dissatisfaction. Once you get to the bottom of your angst, you can do something positive about it.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for August 23

[All times are calculated for the Pacific Daylight Zone. If you are living in a different time zone, add or subtract the necessary hours so that any timed alignment will be exact where you live.]  If you are in the mood for a rebirth and regeneration of your leadership skills, then the arrival of fiery, assertive Aries Moon (12:14AM) can become a feather in your cap. Try to brush aside a mood of tension or volatility as Mars makes a frictional, 135-degree link to Chiron (2:18AM). Learning about one or more of the martial arts is one way to tweak this aspect in a favorable manner.  Tune into the shift of Mercury from grandiose Leo to behind-the-scenes master Virgo (3:38PM). Mercury is now moving at just over 2 degrees per day — its fastest movement until it eventually goes into retrograde again starting on October 21. Mercury in Virgo — to go along with yesterday’s solar movement into the same sign — provides a strong dose of organizational and efficiency-oriented themes for your utilization and possible enjoyment. Weeding, cleaning and repair work of any kind can be a joy when several celestial bodies emphasize the qualities of this sixth sign of the zodiac.  If you are looking for surprises, a mental jolt or shock to the system, you can probably find it during the monthly Moon-Uranus union in Aries (9:19PM). Advanced studies on the frontiers of science, medicine, metaphysics and astrology are yours for the taking

All About Virgo

All About Virgo

August 23 – September 22

Virgo

by Tarotcom Staff

Virgo rhymes with “Oh no,” which is what you’ll hear them cry when things aren’t perfect. Virgo is a smart and practical Earth sign, ruled by mental Mercury and symbolized by the Virgin — not necessarily because Virgo is prudish, but rather because they are highly discriminating.

Virgo is hardworking, detail-oriented and quite critical, with an uncanny analytical gift for seeing what’s wrong with people, situations and their surrounding environment. This perfectionism makes Virgo valuable to have around, but also sometimes uncomfortable to be around if they turn their critical eye on you.

More than anything, Virgo is a loving, loyal and true friend you can always count on.

What we love about Virgo

You can always count on Virgo to come through for you in a pinch, and they have a surprisingly keen sense of humor.

Why Virgo drives us nuts

Virgo’s perfectionism can sometimes be negative, and it can lead them to become too critical of others. They also have a tendency to be passive-aggressive.

Virgo advice

Loosen up every once in a while. No one is perfect, not even you!

Most compatible matches

Sincere Virgo is a great match for emotional Pisces and like-minded Earth signs Taurus and Capricorn.

Least compatible matches

Earthy, practical Virgo is least compatible with breezy Air signs, including eccentric Aquarius, erratic Gemini and changeable Libra.

Born on the cusp

People born on the cusp share common traits from two different zodiac signs.

Learn all about the personality born on “The Cusp of Exposure”

Tarotcom Staff  Tarotcom Staff on the topics of virgo, leo, cusp, astrology

If you were born on the Leo-Virgo cusp, from about August 19 to August 25, you were born on “The Cusp of Exposure,” but that’s not as risque as it sounds. In fact, you face some not-so-fun and conflicting energy in your life.

Leo is a Fire sign and Virgo is an Earth sign, which means there are contrary elements to your personality. The question is, will the fire in your heart be smothered by the Earth, or will it burn bright?

Because these cuspers were born between such very different signs, it’s hard to say which way they’ll lean. Some on the Leo-Virgo cusp gravitate more toward Leo’s need for drama and attention, while others are more like Virgo and prefer a quiet, less social lifestyle.

Whichever way you lean, though, your personality will most likely be hardworking and passionate, especially when dedicated to a particular cause.

Learn more about the challenging Leo-Virgo Cusp:

Name of Cusp: The Cusp of Exposure

Date Range: August 19 to August 25

Strengths: Hardworking, passionate, discriminating, positive, success-driven and honest.

Weaknesses: Critical, antisocial, manipulative, stubborn, quarrelsome and melodramatic.

How Leo and Virgo energy work together: Leo’s flair for drama and Virgo’s down to earth practicality don’t always mix well. These cuspers need to be careful of living a life of extremes — either bold and loud or silent and secretive. But if they can strike a balance between their extroverted and introverted sides, they will master the rare ability to know exactly when to speak up and when to remain silent.

What they love: Getting behind a good cause. Leo is a loving and natural born leader, while Virgo is hardworking, detail oriented and devoted to helping others. Together this is a persuasive cusp combination that is happiest when rallying a group of people in support of a great cause. And know this: They will succeed!

What they need: Intimacy. It won’t come easy for these cuspers, who value secrets and privacy above all else, but they really need to have people in their lives who know them well and love them for exactly who they are. Advice: Leo-Virgo cuspers must learn to share more of themselves with others, which will in turn help them get in better touch with their own feelings and emotions.

Famous people born on the Leo-Virgo cusp: Coco Chanel, Matthew Perry, Bill Clinton, John Stamos, Gene Roddenberry, Robert Plant, Fred Durst, Connie Chung, Kenny Rogers, Wilt Chamberlain, Kim Cattrall, Ray Bradbury, John Lee Hooker, Tori Amos, Barbara Eden, Gene Kelly, River Phoenix, Shelley Long, Kobe Bryant, Marlee Matlin, Dave Chappelle, Leonard Bernstein, Sean Connery, Gene Simmons, Elvis Costello, Billy Ray Cyrus, Claudia Schiffer.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Thursday, Aug. 22nd

[All times are calculated for the Pacific Daylight Zone. If you are living in a different time zone, add or subtract the necessary hours so that any timed alignment will be exact where you live.]  After yesterday’s mega-dose of celestial alignments, it would seem the right time for a breather. However, the universe prefers to keep your feet to the fire. There’s another cosmic gauntlet to run through as Mercury connects with Uranus in a potent, 135-degree link-up (3:57AM). Ceres forms a frictional, 45-degree link to Jupiter (4:06AM), Mercury makes the same kind of intense, 45-degree tie with Jupiter (7:12AM) while also uniting with Ceres in Leo (7:45AM), the Sun forms a contra-parallel with Saturn (12:45PM), Venus trines Juno in air signs (3:41PM), the Sun enters Virgo (4:03PM), and the Moon in Pisces trines Mars in Cancer (6:39PM) — simultaneously starting a void lunar uncertainty zone that lasts until 12:14AM tomorrow when the Moon shifts gears into fiery Aries. Therefore, overall, this is a day reminiscent of yesterday.  The cosmos is content on piling on and forcing human souls to work hard to achieve their goals and make headway following the recent Full Moon. Fortunately, you can isolate the Mercury-Ceres conjunction in order to increase your productive output across the board. In addition, the Venus trine to Juno can be a great blessing on the artistic, style, fashion and romantic fronts.  The Sun entering Virgo puts an exclamation point on traditional Virgo themes like being meticulous, focusing on details, getting down to brass tacks, participating in clean-up campaigns, and — for the most part — being industrious, efficient, organized and orderly.  During the several hours when the Moon is void in Pisces — toward the end of the day — it is helpful to review and reflect on your gains and losses of the past four weeks.
