What’s your Sun sign’s deepest fear?

Tarotcom Staff  Tarotcom Staff on the topics of halloween, astrology

It’s that time of year again, when Americans like to scare themselves with ghosts, goblins and the rest of Halloween’s spooky tomfoolery. You might call it our annual fear fest, but are these truly our worst fears? Of course not. To find qualms that really make our skin crawl, we need to dig a little deeper.

Take a look at these zodiac sign nightmares and see if they don’t send a shiver up your spine.

Aries (March 21 – April 19)

You are at the end of a long line hiking up a tall mountain. The group’s leaders are Virgos, arguing about which way to go, while everyone else plods along at a snail’s pace. You’re going to have to push your way to the head of the line and stage a coup … or tear your hair out. Which will it be?

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

Wait a minute … whose car is that in your garage? Okay, the one you had was breaking down every other day and you were thinking about replacing it … but it was a comfy jalopy and, besides, you hadn’t finished your research. Now someone has gone and made up your mind for you. That’s not fair!

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

Can’t someone just change that muzak? If orchestral string covers weren’t bad enough, you work in a room all alone, your iPhone is dead and you can’t even get your browser to load. Communication breakdown … your private version of hell … has finally come true.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

As you open your door, your friends shout “surprise!” It’s your birthday and they’ve got an all-you night planned. As you squeeze between co-workers you barely know, they start projecting a PowerPoint featuring your naked baby pictures, every bad hairdo and ugly date you’ve ever had, plus your fat phase.

Leo (July 23 – Aug 22)

Amidst booing and hissing, olives and cocktail umbrellas flying through the air … you’re cowering on a karaoke stage after what you thought was a knockout rendition of Wild Thing. Returning to your table, you find your date has bailed and left a napkin note telling you what a complete loser you are.

Virgo (Aug 23 – Sept 22)

You’re behind a counter, facing a long line of angry customers waiting to tell you in detail about everything that’s wrong with the product you designed. That’s right, the one you slaved over for years and were sure would be a best seller. They don’t want exchanges or refunds … they want your head!

Libra (Sept 23 – Oct 22)

Your partner’s quirks have been gnawing on your last nerve for what seems like eons. You’re about to explode when … sure enough, like clockwork … he/she pulls one more stunt. Arms flailing, screaming at the top of your lungs, you lunge for his/her throat. So much for your famous emotional control, Libra.

Scorpio (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You trust your new sweetie implicitly, but that doesn’t keep you from indulging in a little snooping while he/she is in the shower. Rummaging through bedside drawers, you discover a set of sexy underwear you’ve never seen before. Two can play at this game, you vow, as you plot your revenge.

Sagittarius (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

The jury has come back with its verdict and you’re guilty. You’ll be spending the next decade of your life in one place. But don’t worry … it’s a minimum-security prison with a lovely view of the freeway. You can still dream about all the places you’ll travel when you get parole.

Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Who’s that waving his finger in your face? Why, it’s that guy you used to supervise before your job was outsourced. Now you’re wearing stonewashed jeans and sitting at a tiny workstation in a row of cubicles that never ends. What happened to your Gucci suits and private corner office?

Aquarius (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

A security guard meets you at the entrance to your new workplace and whisks you away to a room where you undergo a complete makeover. When you’re finally escorted into your new office, you discover everyone looks exactly like you. Next on your newbie schedule … brainwashing!

Pisces (Feb 19 – March 20)

You hear a loud knocking on your door and open it to find three IRS men ready to rip into your tax return. They want you to account for every latte expense you listed and are suspicious of your self-employed income, too. Tearfully, you open the shoebox where you shoved your receipts to face the sorting and organizing you dread.

Your Charm for October 25th is Pisces The Fish

Your Charm for Today


Today’s Meaning:   

This aspect of your life will be strongly influenced by a person who is imaginative, sensitive, compassionate, kind, selfless, unworldly, intuitive and sympathetic. This person could be merely an acquaintance who has influence with people in your circle.

Dating Horrors Through the Zodiac

Dating Horrors Through the Zodiac

Prepare to make your next date thrilling, not chilling

Tarotcom Staff   Tarotcom Staff on the topics of love, halloween, astrology

Often the scariest evenings are not when there’s a creaky floorboard or a ghostly chill, but when you’re curled up with your date watching a movie on TV, or when you’re on your first vacation with each other and you’re about to head to the beach … and then it happens!

He or she takes off their mask to reveal who they really are, and you’ll meet the Mr. (or Ms.!) Hyde you didn’t even know you were dating! Or check your sign below for the worst case scenario for the sign you’re dating.

Aries (March 21 – April 19)

The werewolf effect with Aries is that they’ll transform into self-centered, big-headed monsters that would die before missing an opportunity to talk about themselves. With any and every event that happens to them or even to you, they’ll use it as a cue to brag, whine or worry about what’s going on in their lives. If you’re not smart enough to realize at this point that your relationship is over, you’ll be consumed by their one-person ogre show until they find someone else bored, stupid or naïve enough to listen.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

There’s a glazed look that can come over a Taurean’s face where you just know that you’re no longer a lover to them, or even a person. You’ve become something far less … a piece of cake, a tuft of grass, a shank of lamb, or their favorite down pillow with a 3,000 thread count sham and pillow cover. You’ve become a real object of desire and comfort, rather than your own person.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

The change for Gemini starts with their eyes getting shiftier, and then the transformation quickly moves to their extremities. Suddenly, their eyes are everywhere — except on you — and their hands are reaching for the ever-ringing cell phone, the Blackberry, the laptop, the fax machine and a cab door all at once. You’re either left waiting at the curb, running to catch up or holding the line on the other side of the phone — alone.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

Cancer loves to take care of their lovers. It sounds nice, but sometimes when Cancer wants to take care of you, it can almost feel like the mafia’s way of “taking care of you” before they tie the concrete block around your foot. You’re being stuffed to the nostrils with food, attention, chocolate, gifts, messages, massages, kisses, cards, e-cards, flowers, photos, brownies and cakes until … you … can’t … breathe.

Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22)

When Leo does his or her fright show, they chew up the scenery with real melodrama and loud relish. This means that when you address a dating issue with a Lion — whether it be petty or only somewhat important — your date may act as if you’ve plunged a wooden stake deep into their hearts and they’ll wail, wallow and thrash as to let the whole world know of your betrayal and treachery.

Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22)

The Virgo spook-fest almost always starts small. At first, your date may only casually and infrequently critique how you’re dressed or make a suggestion about your grammar. But as things progress, you might come to feel as if you’ve been teleported back in time to the one-room schoolhouse of a chronically constipated 19th-century school master, or you’ve landed on the couch of Sigmund Freud himself and your whole life is subject to psychoanalytic review.

Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22)

No sign struggles more with the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde syndrome like Libra. A Libran will smile bright enough to light a cave while making you feel like a heap of toilet paper in a flooded trench. You won’t know whether to run from them or kiss ’em for their sado-masochistic charm. Ultimately, they’re just indecisive and can’t make up their minds about whether to pull you closer or flit off to torture someone else. So they just keep on hangin’ on until you bribe them to leave you alone, or they get a better offer.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21)

When the sea-monster that swims around the whirlpool of a Scorpio’s heart is aroused over some perceived or actual wrong, it wants nothing but complete, blood-dripping and annihilating revenge on his or her former beloved. Any secrets and tidbits of information that you innocently handed over to your Scorpio date before you roused the Beast can and will be used against you in the courtroom, where Scorpio serves as prosecutor, defender, judge, jury and executioner.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21)

The Centaur’s love of sport, adventure and philosophy can turn into a real scary movie when he or she mistakes your heart for a soccer ball. It’s not that they intend to be malicious when they never introduce you as their girlfriend or boyfriend (as to avoid commitment); or when they wax poetically and philosophically about your need for more intimacy (without giving it); or when they book a week-long vacation to Australia (without you). As they might say, “Stuff just happens.”

Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19)

Creepicorn is what happens when your Capricorn’s blood temperature drops and decides that your best use is as a tool for some plot du jour cooked up in their brains. This sign’s fears can go deep and long, so they can turn on you, because they “thought” you might not be up to any good, without any conclusive evidence. So without warning or provocation, the Cap might tell you that your whole dating experience was his or her way to get back at an ex from 20 years ago, without remorse or regret.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18)

The creep fest with Aquarius is at least a crowded experience. As they love their friends so, Aquarians may never show or let you know how you’re different or more special than the gaggle of derelicts, nuts and geeks who masquerade as his or her friends and who seem to follow them at every turn. If you’re looking for intimacy at a restaurant or even your own couch, you’d better be prepared to share your date with his or her network at a moment’s notice.

Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20)

The squirm-n-scream appeal of Pisces will at least make you feel like a movie star. It’s just that no one told you it was a horror flick. The Pisces will spend an exorbitant amount of time, money (if they have it) or attention on building the perfect set for the movie that is your relationship. As they’re especially romantic, they’ll even create a musical score. You’ll feel wonderful and special. Then, suddenly and most likely through some third party — like a text message, email, voice mail or gossip columnist — you’ll learn you’ve been cut out of the movie and your part has even been re-written. The explanation will be lame, so don’t try to make sense of it. You won’t be invited to the wedding, where your Pisces will again spend an exorbitant amount of time, money…

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

Wait a minute … whose car is that in your garage? Okay, the one you had was breaking down every other day and you were thinking about replacing it … but it was a comfy jalopy and, besides, you hadn’t finished your research. Now someone has gone and made up your mind for you. That’s not fair!

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

Can’t someone just change that muzak? If orchestral string covers weren’t bad enough, you work in a room all alone, your iPhone is dead and you can’t even get your browser to load. Communication breakdown … your private version of hell … has finally come true.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

As you open your door, your friends shout “surprise!” It’s your birthday and they’ve got an all-you night planned. As you squeeze between co-workers you barely know, they start projecting a PowerPoint featuring your naked baby pictures, every bad hairdo and ugly date you’ve ever had, plus your fat phase.

Leo (July 23 – Aug 22)

Amidst booing and hissing, olives and cocktail umbrellas flying through the air … you’re cowering on a karaoke stage after what you thought was a knockout rendition of Wild Thing. Returning to your table, you find your date has bailed and left a napkin note telling you what a complete loser you are.

Virgo (Aug 23 – Sept 22)

You’re behind a counter, facing a long line of angry customers waiting to tell you in detail about everything that’s wrong with the product you designed. That’s right, the one you slaved over for years and were sure would be a best seller. They don’t want exchanges or refunds … they want your head!

Libra (Sept 23 – Oct 22)

Your partner’s quirks have been gnawing on your last nerve for what seems like eons. You’re about to explode when … sure enough, like clockwork … he/she pulls one more stunt. Arms flailing, screaming at the top of your lungs, you lunge for his/her throat. So much for your famous emotional control, Libra.

Scorpio (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You trust your new sweetie implicitly, but that doesn’t keep you from indulging in a little snooping while he/she is in the shower. Rummaging through bedside drawers, you discover a set of sexy underwear you’ve never seen before. Two can play at this game, you vow, as you plot your revenge.

Sagittarius (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

The jury has come back with its verdict and you’re guilty. You’ll be spending the next decade of your life in one place. But don’t worry … it’s a minimum-security prison with a lovely view of the freeway. You can still dream about all the places you’ll travel when you get parole.

The side of fairness and what is just,
And it is a life’s work
To bring the two together.
You whose gift is Balance,
Bless us with harmony in every debate,
And help us see our views
Through the eyes of others.
By the power of all that bonds together,
You challenge us
To listen as much as we speak,
To speak as much as we listen,
To go back and forth in the dance of I and Thou.
May we all go forth in equality.

(Instead of a chant, all sing the song “Crane Dance”. One person who has been chosen to work the ritual goes among them, dispersing the flowers, and afterwards all will disperse the flowers about the house, so that they may be seen anywhere they walk.)

Saturn Retrograde in 2013

Saturn Retrograde in 2013

Firm up your foundation instead of starting something new

Maria DeSimone    Maria DeSimone on the topics of saturn, insight, astrology

Saturn, the planet of discipline, limitation, structure and responsibility, turns retrograde every year for about five months. In 2013, the retrograde period will begin on February 18 and will last until July 8. During this time, everything that supports the foundation of your world will be up for review. Sound ominous? Well, don’t panic. Saturn is retrograde for a long time every single year. Unlike the personal planets (Mercury, Venus and Mars) the retrograde of outer planets usually don’t have a dramatic effect on our day to day life. Still, the symbolism and significance behind Saturn Retrograde is useful to understand since it will be a time to reevaluate personal boundaries, obligations and goals.

Typically, Saturn Retrograde is not the ideal time to begin new commitments, particularly ones that will affect your status and reputation. It is, however, the perfect time to reassess your existing obligations. Are you rising to the occasion or have you taken on more than you can handle? Since Saturn Retrograde will slow the pace down, you’ll begin to notice whether or not you’re making the grade on current projects. You’ll have an opportunity to improve your strategy and organization on a project that’s meaningful to you. Alternatively, you may take stock in a venture you’re involved in and realize that it’s no longer something you want to remain committed to … and that’s ok! As long as you’re honest about whether or not this endeavor has become a source of pain or obstruction and then act accordingly, you’re using Saturn Retrograde exactly as you should.

Put the business on ice

Since Saturn has a natural correlation to one’s professional status, it is imperative that Saturn is strong and direct when starting any new business venture. You will also want a strong Saturn when you begin anything you hope will elevate your reputation and level of authority. If you start a new business, or major enterprise that will affect your status, there’s likely to be a series of problems attached to it. Success will not be denied while Saturn is retrograde. However it will be quite frustrating to achieve. Whatever you begin will likely require extensive reorganization or a complete restructuring. The foundation of anything is not as solid when started under Saturn’s Retrograde — especially when it comes to business.

This doesn’t mean you can’t achieve any measure of success during the five month stretch of Saturn napping. In fact, as long as you stick to working on existing projects, they can become extremely polished and as a result, you’ll achieve the recognition you deserve. Still, it’ll be a good idea to refrain from launching any brand spanking new business pursuit now.

Calendar dates to circle

During this particular Saturn Retrograde cycle in the sign of Scorpio, there will be an emphasis on revising the structures you have built around your financial and intimate life. Do you have a deep seated fear of success or failure? Now is the time to identify any unhealthy pattern connected to achievement that might sabotage you. There will be a few helpful aspects and some extra challenging ones to cross over the next several months. Here’s a rundown on what is most important for you to navigate:

March 6 and March 28 are days when exceptional gains are possible if you review your existing commitments and reorganize accordingly. On these dates, Mercury will connect perfectly to Saturn allowing you to make a decision about a project and stick to it. On March 6 Mercury will be retrograde and it signals a definite pull to a past obligation or project that may now yield fruit. On March 28 you might put the plan from March 6 into motion.

On April 22 Venus in Taurus will oppose Saturn in Scorpio and this will be an opportunity to reconsider financial and romantic commitments. Are you taking more than you give or do you feel you give until it hurts when it comes to a relationship? Now is the time to honestly examine how the answer to this question makes you feel.

On April 28 the Sun in Taurus will oppose Saturn followed on April 30 by Mars opposing Saturn. With these aspects you may need to relocate your inner authority. If you feel as if a higher up is stepping on your toes or squelching your personal development, it’s time to work through it. That might mean cutting ties from someone who is only holding you back.

Mercury in Taurus will oppose Saturn on May 5 and it’ll be time to defend a decision to an authority figure in your life. Although you may feel insecure, stand your ground and trust that you’re fully capable of making the right choice. Make a commitment to only surround yourself with people who value your mind.

On June 7 Venus in Cancer will trine Saturn and what you’ve decided to see through during this Saturn retrograde phase will now begin to show its rewards. A romantic relationship might become more stable — especially if you’ve worked on building a solid future together.

When the Sun in Cancer and Saturn link up in a friendly way on June 26, your inner and outer authority will blend perfectly. What you see is what you get and everyone around you will respect what they see.

Finally, on July 1 Venus in Leo will square Saturn. A commitment or financial decision might reach a breaking point. A relationship you hold on to merely out of obligation might leave such a bad taste in your mouth. If the love and fun are gone, you know it’s time to move on.

Introducing…Aquarius

Introducing…Aquarius

One of the most common mistakes people make when discussing Aquarius is that they assume he/she is a water sign. After all, he/she is the water bearer. But the truth is he/she’s an Air sign and that’s an important detail!

To often you see Aquarius represented as the generic person pouring a jug of water or even worse just the jug of water. There is no hint to the intellectual and cerebral air quality of the Aquarian. As an air sign, she is focused on higher thinking and pushing the boundaries of common and closed thinking. If everyone is going one direction she will go the other in hopes of discovering a new and better way to meet the needs of the greater whole.

We started with a forward moving stance. She is a futuristic, forward thinking woman. Aquarians have no time to look or focus on the past, they focus on the future and believe that however something was done, it could be done differently or better going forward. Seeking to fight for justice and the underdog, our Aquarian is dressed and built to campaign for any cause she feels is under represented or oppressed. She also is a lover of technology and innovation. She is not afraid of technology or gadgets and widgets that can help better our lives. She is quick to adopt them to her arsenal of thought and solutions.

Her water jug is still a very important aspect of her character. Instead of her passively pouring water from it or carrying it on her head, we chose to have her securely sling it over her shoulder. This allows her to bring it into adverse or water starved situations. She knows that despite all the technology and advancements available, humans cannot survive without water. Water is the most powerful source of nourishment for our bodies and souls and Aquarians never lose sight of that. They know that higher thinking comes from well fueled minds – and the mind can be tricked or fooled if starved for water.

Physical Characteristics

Physically our Aquarian is in fighting shape but not because she likes to fight, rather she is about endurance. She relies on her ability to go long stretches of time without rest or nourishment and living solely off her creative vision. She is not a slave to fashion but definitely uses her cloths and accessories to express her inability to conform and desire to pioneer and blaze new trails of thought and visual innovation. She’s creative and a one of kind. Charged with technology she has a single strand of fiber optic hair lighting her way through dark and unchartered territories of thought.

Zodiac Super Power

Our Aquarian’s super power is her technology power hand and fighting physique. She has a leg up on the other signs of the Zodiac because she can see into the future and knows that there is almost always a “better way” to do or see things. Her water is magical and fuels even the most creatively starved thinkers€ are pushing stalled thought or injustice toward progress.

Your Horoscope Holiday Heads-Up

Your Horoscope Holiday Heads-Up

 

Each sign of the zodiac embodies certain challenges and qualities. When we  know what these are, our horoscope sun sign can give us such a useful heads-up  on some things to watch out for in this sometimes-stressful holiday season! For  instance, is your sign prone to over-socializing? You may want to rethink going  to that thirteenth party. Does your sign need to run the show? You might  delegate some of the responsibility before you burn right out.

Find out what your horoscope can tell you about the best way to have truly  happy holidays. We even include a helpful holiday affirmation for each sun sign,  right here:

Aries, March 21-April 19:  Watch out for your tendency to think that only you  can do everything: avoid holiday burn-out by delegating responsibilities  whenever you can. And be sure to get plenty of outdoor exercise to help keep  your fiery nature on an even keel: you don’t want an angry remark of yours to  cause any rifts this holiday season. The holidays will still be beautiful  even if everything doesn’t get done.

Taurus, April 20-May 21:  Be aware that you can get just a little set in your  ways around seasonal traditions. This year, try something new! Even if it only  involves buying a tree you can plant after the holidays rather than a cut tree,  or using your grandmother’s tablecloth on the festive table rather than the one  you’ve used for years, remember: Change is good: embrace it.

Gemini, May 22-June 20:  Be sure to take time as often as possible to ground  and center yourself so that you can be deeply present in the moment rather than  flitting from thing to thing. The deepest and most meaningful experiences are  often found in stillness.

Cancer, June 21-July 22:  This year, do what you can to accept and love your  sensitive self as fully as possible; cultivate a positive relationship with the  image in your mirror no matter how many cups of eggnog or slices of mince pie  you consume. Remember, the body is the home and sanctuary of the soul. And  there‘s no place like home.

Leo, July 23- Aug 22:  This year, you may want to try creating opportunities  for others to shine as brightly as you do: try coaching a children’s choir, or  getting a group together to put on a benefit performance for a worthy cause.  When we encourage others to glow, the whole world grows a little  brighter.

Virgo, Aug 23-Sept 22:  Your attention to detail could get compulsive unless  you take some time to deeply enjoy the pleasures of the season. You might want  to read up on essential oils or herbs that are seasonal allies. The earth and  all her gifts are sacred and give me comfort.

Libra, Sept 23-Oct 22:  Wanting to be all things to all people could lead you  into an exhausting round of social obligations unless you set time aside for  your own peace of mind. Maintaining a personal sense of balance is my most  important task. It is not my sole responsibility to create harmony in every  social situation.

Scorpio, Oct 23-Nov 21:  Your easily-offended nature will have many  opportunities to take umbrage unless you detach and try not to take things so  personally during the festive season. Find heart’s ease in the deeper  spiritual meaning of the holidays.

Sagittarius, Nov 22-Dec 21:  Be wary of spreading yourself so thin and being  the sparkling light in so many people’s lives that you neglect your own fire.  Rekindle your spirit’s flame in the soothing dark and silence.

Capricorn, Dec 22-Jan 19:  If you feel you must work hard and harder during  the holidays, please do yourself and your loved ones a favor and take a break.  Simply being, not producing or doing, is my first priority.

Aquarius, Jan 20-Feb 18:  Be sure to set aside enough quiet time with your  nearest and dearest; use your imagination to invent meaningful activities to  share with those you love. I can use my creativity in the service of deeper  connection with my loved ones.

Pisces, Feb 19-March 20:  Your empathy with the sufferings of others will  simply bring everyone around you down unless you find ways to channel it  helpfully. Find something you can do on a local level to reach out and be of  service. I can share in human joys as well as human suffering.
