The courageous Aries Moon empowers us to express our feelings without thinking about the effect we have on others. Often spontaneity works in our favor, but today’s whimsical Gemini Sun runs into uncompromising Pluto. Revealing our emotions haphazardly can spark an intense reaction from someone who may be threatened by our words. Fortunately, assertive Mars forms a creative quintile with compassionate Neptune, turning us into spiritual warriors.
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
You must be on guard against your tendency to respond too quickly when interacting with others today. Someone might mistake your intensity for anger, or it’s possible that you’re really mad and don’t even realize it. Either way, it’s healthyto take a few relaxing breaths to check in with your emotions before losing your temper and dumping unresolved feelings onto those closest to you.
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)
You may have a very vivid dream that doesn’t make any sense to you, no matter how you try to interpret it. Oddly enough, you could be reminded of the nonsensical images when something happens during the day to bring the entire fantasy back to consciousness. There’s no need to force rational meaning onto a mysterious message from your unconscious. Simply remembering dreams is sufficient for them to work their magic.
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)
It’s challenging to know how hard to push now because others may take offense with your insistence. But your actions come in bursts today; you’re enthusiastic one moment and then feeling spaced out the next. Nevertheless, your uneven energetic flow will likely be confusing to others, so take the time to explain yourself instead of talking in clever riddles that leave too much room for misinterpretation.
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)
Your friends and family may think that you are being too much of a mother hen who smothers them with love today. But you know what needs to be done and are quickly irritated when no one else seems to have a clue. Even if you’re eager to jump in and fix what’s wrong, it’s smart to see if anyone even wants your help. If you feel compelled to assist, your deeds will probably be perceived as meddling. However, if you come from a place of love, your simple presence can be a healing force.
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)
You may need to handle an unresolved relationship issue today. Your friends might think that you have been exerting too much control, but you don’t see it that way at all. Instead of allowing yourself to become irritated because others don’t really understand you, take this as an opportunity to show your true colors. Just keep in mind that being more flexible will help you overcome your petty annoyances and enable others to see the real you.
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
You have a certain idea about how your day should go and you want to put things back on track when it begins to deviate from your plan. You would like to show a more easygoing side of yourself today, but it’s challenging to let go of control when you believe that you are holding it all together. Unfortunately, your priorities may be bent out of shape. Consider this situation as an opportunity to develop trust. Sure, you could engineer more perfection into your world now, but the cost may be higher than you realize.
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
You would prefer it if your friends were more cooperative today, but instead they seem to be acting contrary to your wishes just to agitate you. However, they actually just want to do as they wish and be free of judgment. Examine your unspoken expectations before criticizing someone else. You may be wiser now to dig into your shadow and look at your own motives before coming down hard on others.
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
The Moon in hotheaded Aries suggests that you might have to lose your temper today to establish an important boundary. Unfortunately, it may be impossible to know how you’re doing because your subjectivity allows you to see things the way you want them to be, rather than how they actually are. Nevertheless, trusting your intuition is a good idea now as long as you don’t let fear overrule love.
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
You are often inspired by hope, but today it’s more important to let practicality be your guide, because the present moment is more significant than any future possibility. Still, your dreams don’t need to be shelved; they just have to be relocated into the here and now. Focusing on your immediate concerns is your best strategy to keep your life from growing even more complicated.
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
You may believe that you don’t have to follow every rule to the letter today since it feels as if you are responsible to a higher spiritual authority. Be careful, for this is a tricky rationalization and you don’t have cosmic permission to be destructive or reckless. You can, however, be imaginative and original. Just remember that intelligence is wasted unless you’re also acting with compassion. It’s more important to be caring than to be clever.
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
You have been zapped recently by Uranus the Awakener and it’s time to finish your joyride and ease yourself back to reality. However, there’s no need to worry if you don’t have anything to show from your exciting little junket; your altered perspective is enough. But even if you think you know the truth now, remember that things are still in flux. Although the pace of your life is slower today, stay flexible and remain open to change.
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
It’s difficult to make choices today because your reality is littered with ideas that have leaked through from your imagination. Unfortunately, you might be challenged to distinguish fact from fiction. Fortunately, the overflow from your dreams can make your life more interesting. Don’t try to establish the truth yet; just enjoy the show and wait until tomorrow to decipher the meaning of it all.
Spells function best when some sort of context exists for them in which to manifest. Have you acted in the physical world to work on the situation you intend to address with a spell? Spells will not solve your problems for you. They will help, but leaving them to function without putting any other effort in on your end reduces the chances of the spell coming to successful fruition. Would you cast a spell to pass an exam for an area of study with which you had no experience? What would be the point of that?
A need or desire has every right to be met, whether it’s a need for a scholarship to enable you to study at the postgraduate level, or a desire for the traffic light to change so that you can cross the intersection to walk on the sunny side of the street. That need or desire is, the first requirement in order for a spell to exist. If you don’t have a need or a desire, don’t waste your time. Spellcraft isn’t something to pass the hours, or an art to practice on a whim. It’s a powerful force for transformation and change, requiring your dedication and involvement. Crafting and casting a spell requires time, focus, great concentration and energy, and if you’re doing it on a whim, you’re going to a lot of trouble for nothing. Emotion is one of the key concepts that powers a spell, and a whim just doesn’t have the depth of emotion required. In addition, there’s the issue of responsibility. If you ask for it, you’re responsible for it.
Unless you intend to perform a spontaneous spell (and there’s nothing wrong with that), you’ll need to create one. In order to do that, the following are steps you’ll need to work through.
LOVE GROUND
Look for a new level of discipline and commitment to dominate your love life. This is a chance to purge the ambiguities between you two. Do you want solid love ground?
General Meaning: All is not what it seems. Sometimes, reality is like a hall of mirrors. Intrigues multiply like summer flies, and there are signs of discontent all around. This is a time of illusion and disillusion, disintegration, distrust and deception.
When you find yourself trapped in a hall of mirrors, sometimes it is necessary to retrace your steps. Return to the familiar; take solace in what is firm and secure. There is no blame in holding back on progress now; indeed, it is your responsibility to keep your strength intact for the period of resurrection, which follows disintegration as surely as dawn follows the night.
Discretion is the better part of valor. Good timing is especially important. Learn to focus on the essence of the problem and choose the proper moments for action, thereby avoiding futile effort. Be particularly attentive at such a time as this for changes that signal it’s time to retreat.
In the realm of personal relations, disillusionment is generally painful and confusing. When in the midst of such a phase, it is wise to avoid undertaking any bold new moves, and it is especially important not to jump to conclusions.
Passion, romance, and unexpected changes color your world today. An unforeseen trip may be necessary, or a last minute invitation could be extended. You’re longing for excitement, which is fine, as long as you exercise a bit of discipline and don’t let self-indulgent tendencies get the better of you.
General Meaning: Although it has taken on a strictly romantic revision of meaning in some modern decks, traditionally the Lovers card of Tarot reflected the challenges of choosing a partner. At a crossroads, one cannot take both paths. The images on this card in different decks have varied more than most, because we have had so many ways of looking at sex and relationships across cultures and centuries.
Classically, the energy of this card reminded us of the real challenges posed by romantic relationships, with the protagonist often shown in the act of making an either-or choice. To partake of a higher ideal often requires sacrificing the lesser option. The path of pleasure eventually leads to distraction from spiritual growth. The gratification of the personality eventually gives way to a call from spirit as the soul matures.
Modern decks tend to portray the feeling of romantic love with this card, showing Adam and Eve at the gates of Eden when everything was still perfect. This interpretation portrays humanity before the Fall, and can be thought to imply a different sort of choice — the choice of evolution over perfection, or the choice of personal growth through relationship — instead of a fantasy where everything falls into place perfectly and is taken care of without effort.
