Lunar Love Horoscopes

Love is a Winding Road

October 12 – 14

Friday’s mood could be a little fussy with the Moon’s presence in analytical Virgo. Yet being overly picky or narrow in our tastes is bound to limit the potential for having a good time. A challenging lunar square with expansive Jupiter in Gemini tends to take us off course early in the evening, requiring flexibility to adapt to changing circumstances. It’s possible to feel pulled in several directions and it can be difficult to make decisions. But if we’re not overly concerned about the outcome, it’s easier to relax and go with the flow.

The Moon shifts into lovely Libra on Saturday afternoon to color the night with a romantic glow. Cooperation, compromise and concern for others are just a few ways to demonstrate the graciousness of this sociable sign. Taking the time to appreciate art and bask in beauty makes it easy to enjoy the ride on Libra’s harmonious waves. Those who stay up very late will experience a change of atmosphere as the Libra Moon crashes into hard aspects with reckless Uranus and ruthless Pluto in the wee hours of Sunday morning. Happily, a better mood emerges in the evening when a generous lunar trine to optimistic Jupiter in chatty Gemini provides a lighthearted atmosphere perfect for playing games and participating in intellectually stimulating conversations

Love vibrations increase in wavelength in the early hours today — thanks to the monthly Moon-Venus union in Virgo (7:37AM PDT). Think of novel ways you can be of service to family members, friends, neighbors and the greater community. Sewing, arts and crafts, and repair work are reinforced. Tune into what’s happening on the fashion and style fronts as Juno makes a subtle and yet still nurturing, 30-degree tie with distant Pluto (9:18AM PDT). Another void lunar cycle clocks in during a Moon-Jupiter square (4:49PM PDT). Over the next nearly 24-hours (until 4:03PM PDT tomorrow), it is hard to get traction for rock-solid jobs and plans you want to take care of in a pragmatic manner. In additional to the unsettled nature of a void Moon being present, the red planet Mars forms a contra-parallel to giant Jupiter (8:36PM PDT). Anytime Mars and Jupiter get into a skirmish, psychic storm warnings need to be posted. Why come from an ego-dominated consciousness when you can be compassionate and empathic? Be a minimalist concerning decision-making overnight

More Autumn / Fall Comments

Venus has been a very active solar systemic player during the first 48 hours of October, and this trend remains in effect this morning. Venus enters Virgo (12:00AM PDT) until October 28. Over the next three hours, Venus makes a contra-parallel to Neptune (12:49AM PDT) while also forming an off-kilter, 150-degree link with Pallas (2:54AM PDT). Venus entering the sixth sign of the zodiac is a boost for becoming an efficiency master and adding nutritional foods to your diet. The Venus-Neptune and Venus-Pallas configurations have a tendency to toss a monkey-wrench into normally logical and straight-forward business planning. Part of the challenge here is that Venus and Neptune move on to form their annual polarity in the zodiac (3:27PM PDT). Love and money matters enter a twilight zone for much of today due to the various Venus disturbances that are taking hold right now. Despite all the uncertainty, you may want to find a brief window of time to solidify and ground big projects since Jupiter — the largest planet in the solar system — begins a retrograde cycle in Gemini tomorrow.

Relationships run the full spectrum from practical and persnickety to reckless and romantic this week. The key player is amorous Venus as she enters pragmatic Virgo on Tuesday to sharpen senses, but then opposes dreamy Neptune the following day to let imagination wash away critical thinking. Exploration is favored but commitments should be delayed until the fog of illusion burns away. Messenger Mercury and somber Saturn dive into intense Scorpio on Friday, taking us to new emotional depths over the next month. Luckily, the flirty Gemini Moon starts our weekend off on a lighter note.

Venus in Virgo

Tuesday, October 2, 11:59 pm PDT, Wednesday, October 3, 2:59 am EDT

Love takes a practical turn with amorous Venus’ entry into earthy Virgo. Relationships could suffer from nitpicking and self-worth may be diminished by excessive criticism. However, this transit also represents opportunities to make the minor adjustments needed to put partnerships on a more productive track and to develop talents that increase one’s economic value.

The Sun’s entry into a new sign (7:50AM PDT) — Libra — carries an extra dose of concern in 2012. The reason is that a little less than 5 hours from this point a quarter-moon cycle will come into the picture — equating with a rapid rise in tensions across the board. Here’s how this situation comes into being. First, the Sun shifts gears from earthy Virgo to airy Libra at 7:50AM PDT. Nothing really seems amiss and there is now a 30-day focus on improving the quality of primary partnerships as well as picking up the pace in the fine or graphic arts. However, a seemingly innocent Moon-Saturn 60-degree rapport (9:46AM PDT) begins a void lunar uncertainty zone that lasts until 12:22PM PDT (when the Moon enters hardnosed and industrious Capricorn). It is then at 12:42PM PDT that a potentially strong problem manifests when the First Quarter Sun-Moon Phase clocks in — energizing 1 degree of Libra and Capricorn. Therefore, we now have not only a solar-lunar 90-degree square pattern that can signify stormy emotions affecting millions of people, but the places in the zodiac where they are doing the square (at 1 degree of Libra and Capricorn) carry archetypal significance, referring to the state of the society as a whole and the corporate-business-professional climate as a whole. Hopefully, due to the relatively quick motion of the Moon, multiple crises will be averted as cool heads prevail over temperamental individuals who are on ego trips. Relax in a hot tub or enjoy a whirlpool treatment later on as the Moon makes a supportive, 60-degree link to the healing celestial body Chiron (11:04PM PDT).

New Moon

(waxing/20% illumination)

The New Moon is a time best suited for new beginnings! For the first 48 hours following the exact time of the New Moon each month, a window of opportunity opens for making wishes that, if noted, come true in the days and months ahead. There is a tremendous amount of enthusiasm in the atmosphere, making it a great time to go forward and begin projects that you feel instinctively attracted to initiating. Follow your impulses and let yourself make new starts in areas that are important to you.

SPELL TO BOOST PRODUCTIVITY

To improve your own work productivity, during the waxing Moon place one hematite in a small basket or tray and enchant it by saying:

“Ground and heal, magnetic one; bring me clarity on this day.”

Add a quartz crystal to the contained and say:

“Bring boundless energy to me; may it last through this day.”

Add a calcite and say:

“Stone of joy and yellow light, help me sort through my work today.”

Place the container of stones on your desk and say:
“Help me work through this day; bring me inspiration.
And when the day is done, may the labor be finished.”

Altruism

Altruism denotes the noble act of giving to those in need without the expectation of a return. The act of giving has been seen as one of humankind’s greatest attributes throughout history. It is honored in nearly every culture. To give is a gift to both those who receive and those who give. Giving is usually associated with addressing the material needs of others, but the gift given can take many forms such as wisdom or protection or simply a shoulder to cry on.

As a daily card, Altruism suggests there are those around you in need of things you can give them. It is a time for you to address the needs of another, or others without regard of profit or acknowledgement of your contribution.

New Moon Report

by Jeff Jawer

Mercury in Libra

Sunday, September 16, 4:22 pm PDT, 7:22 pm EDT

Intellectual Mercury’s presence in airy Libra encourages objective thinking and adds grace to conversations. Being able to see both sides of any issue is a key to resolving conflicts but can also lead to indecisiveness if taken too far. Pleasing others by supporting their positions is only helpful if we don’t lose our own point of view in the process.

It would be great to report that everything is coming up roses following last night’s New Moon and many cosmic blessings are manifesting around the world. For example, it is definitely helpful that the Moon approaches Mercury in the early hours — giving a lift for reading, writing and research. Once the clock strikes 4:27AM PDT and the lunar orb and Mercury conjunct in the last degree of Virgo, the Moon begins a short void cycle that lasts until 5:56AM PDT when the Moon enters Libran territory. For the next two days, the lunar impetus is to help humans improve the quality of primary partnerships while also singling out the arts as an area for achievement across the board. However, a monkey wrench is tossed into the proceedings as Mars forms an off-kilter, 150-degree link to giant Jupiter (10:25AM PDT). This can be more stressful than it sounds as Jupiter has much to do with societal harmony and being successful while Mars often functions as a trigger for brash acts, volatile behavior and all-around hanky-panky. Two celestial bodies attempt a rescue mission as Juno returns to upbeat, friendly Sagittarius (10:51AM PDT) after a recent, several-month sojourn in stormy Scorpio. Mercury also breaks new ground by shifting out of Virgo and into Libra (4:23PM PDT) — giving an extra boost for illuminating relationship ties. Then Mercury makes a supportive, 60-degree alliance with Juno (5:15PM PDT) — a bridge-building mechanism between Libra and Sagittarius. All of this can create a new wave of goodwill that can neutralize this morning’s Mars-Jupiter downer. If you really are looking for excitement and edge-of-your-seat thrills and chills, then tonight’s Sun-Uranus parallel (9:53PM PDT) may be just what the doctor ordered. From a more enlightening perspective, it is terrific to explore metaphysical and astrological teachings to your heart’s content.

If you are born with strong connections to the planet Venus, make sure you read this calendar entry with care. Venus forms aspects with four different celestial bodies throughout this day as the traditional planet of love and beauty is parallel the Moon (3:21AM PDT), moves 45-degrees to Vesta (12:58PM PDT), forms the same relationship with Mercury (2:10PM PDT), and then trines Pallas in fire signs (6:00PM PDT). Since Mercury in Virgo squares Vesta in Gemini (1:31PM PDT) — along with possible discord on the investment, insurance, safety-security and sisterhood fronts — Venus can function as a sensitive go-between as it exists at the Mercury/Vesta midpoint in the zodiac. In general, the universe is asking you to display various facets of your artistry for society and the world to witness. One extra inconvenience is a void lunar cycle in Cancer — starting at 3:00PM and lasting five hours until 8:01PM PDT when Leo the lion begins to roar from the lunar perspective. Keep a low profile during the void-of-course Moon cycle with your eye on finishing old projects with finesse. The Venus-Pallas rapport at 6:00PM PDT may still be able to give you a boost with problem-solving and strategy sessions. Venus is equally fired up and raring to go on Wednesday. Therefore, fan the flames of true love and heartfelt creativity overnight.
