Daily Horoscopes for Friday, July 1

The nurturing Cancer New Moon at 4:53 am EDT is a Solar Eclipse, marking a powerful turning point in our relationships. The eclipse’s stressful aspects to radical Uranus, karmic Saturn and intense Pluto raise the stakes in every emotional interaction. We may feel as if we’re being bounced around in stormy seas, yet our flexibility helps us conserve our energy for later. Patience may be our best strategy when responding to these strong currents.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

The resistance you face can stop you in your tracks today, but it’s crucial that you don’t give up on a good idea. If you initially miss the lesson you’re being taught, slow down and listen carefully to what’s being said. The obstacles are more easily handled once you accept that they are there for a reason. Ironically, it’s less important to reach your destination now than it is to fine-tune your plans.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Although you probably have a very busy day ahead of you, it still may be hard to get going. Even after you begin your day’s work, you’re tempted to get by with doing less. But your energy builds and you’ll be ready to overcome anything that stands in your path once you find your pace. Just remember that you’re not the only one with an ambitious agenda. Getting the facts from another point of view can change your perspective and increase your options.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

It’s tempting to waste the day running around in circles just trying to keep up with everything. But you may not get anywhere unless you’re willing to take some time for contemplation today. Be careful, for your current strategy should not be thought of as a retreat. You must stabilize the progress you already made because you could jeopardize your success if you continue to move too fast. Remember, reaching your goals is more like running a marathon than a sprint.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Today’s Solar Eclipse can be a harbinger of an energetic shift within your family. You could bury your head in the sand and be totally surprised by what happens, or you can co-create your future by living the change you seek. Start by sitting down and writing a list of resolutions, as if it is New Year’s Day. Focusing your intentions during the eclipse plants significant seeds of thought in your fertile imagination.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Today’s Solar Eclipse falls in your 12th House of Endings, revealing an unusual blending of two cycles, since the New Moon is like a fresh start. But beginning something new prior to completing old business can be problematic. Allow the current process to play out naturally or you might miss your chance. Your best bet is to stay aware of the interrelationship between what you are finishing and what you want to do next.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You may feel isolated today as the moody Cancer Eclipse shakes your 11th House of Community. At first, people that you usually count on are not as accessible as you wish. Fortunately, your true friends will come through just in time with the support that you need. Don’t draw the wrong conclusions prematurely; give others the benefit of the doubt instead of assuming the worst.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You feel the pressure to make a career move today as the Solar Eclipse activates your professional 10th house. But a minor family crisis may add stress to your day, especially if you’re already not seeing eye to eye with another family member. You might not be happy about how someone tries to control the situation now, but you should heed the smart advice, rather than throwing out an idea just because it makes you uncomfortable.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

This caring New Moon Eclipse in softhearted Cancer helps you build emotional continuity, although it may come with a component of drama. You may be happy to know who you are and where you are heading. But your perspective can be so intense that you feel as if you must stand up for your beliefs. You need to tread extra carefully now, for you could inadvertently provoke a conflict by resorting to aggressive behavior. Try channeling your passion into physical activities instead.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You might be a bit uncertain as today’s Solar Eclipse evokes a sense of discomfort by pushing you to explore feelings that you would rather forget. Don’t belittle a friend’s melodrama by judging it as unimportant just so you don’t have to get involved. Your willingness to partake in a meaningful dialogue may be just what’s needed to take a relationship to a new level of intimacy.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

An overly emotional interaction with a friend or partner today reveals that he or she has more going on now than you previously thought. You can tell that there’s a suppressed power issue in the background, but you don’t know what to do about the imbalance. If you confront it head-on, you could make matters worse. But if you let it slide, you may end up contributing to the weird energy. The conversation might be awkward at first, but if you can talk about your uneasiness without blaming anyone else you will be able to make a positive difference.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You don’t think that you’re harboring any resentments about your job, but it’s still not easy to let go of an unresolved hurt. Fortunately, you have a pretty good grasp of the source of your current negativity and it’s up to you now to clear the air. Be open to receiving helpful support from those who love you. Leaning on your friends and family gives you the strength to process your feelings and get on with the real work at hand.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You can finally stand firmly on the ground again after an extended period of uncertainty. But things are not as they seem and your foundation might not be as strong as you once thought. Don’t get hooked into overcompensating today; there’s really no good reason to flaunt your confidence. Nothing is gained by setting up a competitive dynamic where others are threatened by your success. Softening your stance now helps to relieve tensions and bring harmony back into your relationships.

Weekend Lunar Love Horoscopes for July 1 – 3

Weekend Love: Lunar Love

by Jeff Jawer

New Moon, New Approach

July 1 – 3

The weekend starts off with a cosmic Big Bang as the Cancer New Moon on Friday morning is a powerful Solar Eclipse. The safety and security sought in this sensitive sign may be hard to locate with shocking Uranus probing Pluto and constraining Saturn making tense contacts to this Sun-Moon conjunction.

We�re not likely to find much comfort as sudden changes of circumstances and shifting moods have destabilizing effects. Unresolved emotional issues that have long been kept under wraps may surface and trigger very strong feelings. Blame, pity and guilt often arrive under these planetary conditions, yet they need to be gently set aside as none help relieve suffering or restore trust. Taking responsibility for ourselves with a commitment to learn and grow is a much more rewarding response that can put a relationship back on more solid ground.

Although the bigger issues that have been awakened aren�t going to disappear overnight, the Moon�s shift into enthusiastic Leo will brighten the mood on Saturday. It�s a time to look forward with creativity and confidence rather than looking back with trepidation, fearing the past will repeat itself.

Celebrating life with an open heart and a generous spirit allows us to give more to others and receive more in return. Pride might become a stumbling block if we take ourselves too seriously now. We can be competent without keeping score so carefully that we start competing with one another. Adopting a playful approach to our relationships helps to heal wounded hearts and begins the process of restoring more joy to our personal lives.

New Moon for July 1 – New Moon Solar Eclipse in Cancer

New Moon Solar Eclipse in Cancer

Friday, July 1, 1:54 am PDT, 4:54 am EDT

This New Moon in protective Cancer is a very powerful Solar Eclipse. Instead of planting seeds of security in our gardens of desire, we are challenged to break up the old soil of expectations about what will make us safe and happy. Cancer wants closeness and continuity but eclipses break patterns, especially when forming stressful 90-degree squares with volatile Uranus. Yet while Uranus sparks surprises, constraining Saturn and transformational Pluto also form tense aspects to the New Moon. Pressure is building that can affect major institutions, individuals and the environment and is best met with innovation, passion and commitment. Being a well-prepared and patient agent of change will radically improve lives while desperately holding onto the past can be futile and frustrating.

We may feel a sense of loss or disorientation with this Solar Eclipse, but it is time to burn some bridges with the past. However, we don’t need to erase all memories of what has come before. This New Moon is a clear signal that bold methods and beliefs are more likely to sustain personal growth and collective survival than returning to outmoded ideas.

Your Daily Horoscopes for June 30

The Moon’s shift into emotionally sensitive Cancer at 12:12 pm EDT prods us to reflect on our need for security. But we can overreact just like the Crab at the seashore — we’re afraid of being washed away by the changing tides as we approach tomorrow’s New Moon Eclipse. Meanwhile, the Moon forms difficult aspects with erratic Uranus and potent Pluto, bringing intense emotions to the surface that provoke worry about losing control of our lives.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may be panicking because you think that you’re running out of time, but it’s smarter to wait a day or two before taking any drastic measures. Don’t overreact; it’s not the best time to rush ahead and show everyone how well you can handle an emergency. There’s no need to try to inspire others with your courage. Instead of mustering up false bravado, observe your emotions without trying to prove anything.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You probably have quite a lot to do, but others may not realize how busy you are today. You’re not interested in being in the spotlight now, so working quietly behind the scenes suits your mood. However, it’s not that you’re purposefully trying to avoid recognition; you just don’t want to waste energy seeking attention. There’s nothing wrong with graciously accepting acknowledgement for your contribution.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your moods are rapidly fluctuating today and every time you make up your mind something happens and your feelings shift again. You could be overly concerned with how others interpret your instability now, but you don’t really have the ability to change their perceptions. Instead of trying to fix something that’s beyond your control, concentrate on being true to your values. Wait to share your opinions until your emotions settle down.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

The Moon’s return to your sign today can fill you with pride or it can raise fears that you would prefer to avoid. Either way, be ready to go on a ride. It’s best to handle your feelings as they arise or they will just get in the way of the next emotional cycle that starts after tomorrow’s Solar Eclipse. Relinquish your expectations; maintaining an open mind will help to make everything flow smoother.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

It’s okay to keep to yourself today, for you could benefit from some quiet time to listen to your heart. It can be challenging to hear your own voice if you’re busy running around for everyone else. It’s not your fault if people are pushing you to perform. Instead of feeling like a dancing bear in a circus, do what’s best for you now. Others will probably forgive your current need for privacy once you show them what you accomplished.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You might confuse others with your scattered energy today and inadvertently draw them away from their chores. Although your intentions are good, you’re not interested in setting the agenda for everyone else. But before you claim that you don’t want the extra responsibility now, consider the practicalities involved in the trade-off. It may be smarter to negotiate for what you want than to just walk away from the situation.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You might set yourself up for disappointment today because it seems like you’re willing to take care of everyone at work. However, you shouldn’t spread yourself too thin, even if you care about others a whole lot. Try weaving an invisible protective shell around you so you don’t get pulled off track. You’ll probably do fine in the long run, but your current feelings of scarcity can impede your progress. It may feel like a stretch to change your attitude, but you certainly have the power to do it.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You must stay focused on the present moment instead of holding on to an old dream that gets in the way of your current happiness. If someone questions your life strategy today, avoid falling into the trap of feeling the need to defend your goals. However, keep in mind that clinging to your past or dreaming about the future doesn’t leave you with much time for now.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

It seems like everyone wants to spend time with you now because you know how to have fun while still remaining emotionally sensitive. However, you can avoid the hot seat today by redirecting the subject of a conversation away from you and onto a friend. Your cleverness may get you through the day, but don’t set aside what you should be nurturing in your own heart.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You don’t like it when a friend or partner is holding out on you. You prefer others to be forthright and say what’s on their minds; otherwise your imagination transforms the unknown into something worse than the simple truth. Unfortunately, your desire to know another person’s feelings could drive your own emotions deeper into hiding. Relax your intense curiosity; an indirect approach may be the perfect catalyst to trigger a necessary conversation.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Your desire for an intellectual discussion may be thwarted today as other people’s feelings keep cycling back into the conversation. You might try to steer the topics away from nonfactual biases. But your attempts to modify the natural flow of the group process could anger someone, eliciting the very same emotional outbreak you wish to avoid. Instead, allow the dialogue to meander naturally without imposing your agenda.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

If you believe that a co-worker is trying to take unfair advantage of you at work, your swift response today could catch him or her off guard. Sometimes you are more forgiving, but now you could overreact if you feel that you’ve been pushed too far. Don’t be afraid of a power struggle; just keep in mind that your compassion is your most effective weapon.

Your Daily Horoscopes for June 29

Although we might expect life to be easy and breezy now that the Moon is in airy Gemini, there is a thickness to the day that’s difficult to avoid. Yesterday’s Sun-Pluto opposition was a tug-of-war between light and dark, yet at least we were aware of what was happening. Now, as the stress fades, energetic Mars forms an anxious quincunx to intense Pluto, making it difficult to gauge the fine line between asserting ourselves and being aggressive.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may be pumped up today, but you wish that someone else would pick up your positive attitude and run with it. You can grow tired of being the one who always gets things going. You could be ready to give up or you might decide to give it one more try. Although a complicating quincunx between pushy Mars and unrelenting Pluto makes it almost impossible to know what’s best, trust your initial impulse and don’t let doubt slow you down.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Although you normally have plenty of common sense, you might throw caution to the wind if someone appeals to your more adventurous side today. You may even begin a conversation with a friend about a topic that’s usually off-limits. But don’t hesitate just because you cannot tell where your discussion will lead. If there’s a disagreement, it’s not even necessary to reach a resolution now. No matter what happens, breaking the silence is a step in the right direction.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Impatient Mars is in your sign now, provoking you to take direct action, even if you don’t have a plan in place. But its ill-adjusted aspect to powerful Pluto can play out like instant karma and may quickly punish you if you don’t consider other people’s feelings before rushing into something new. A little caution is advised or you could inadvertently offend someone, precipitating more drama than you want.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Don’t let anyone bully you into promising more than you can deliver today, for your desire to help might convince you to take on someone else’s troubles. Offering your assistance may be admirable, but the unrealistic expectations of others could leave you exhausted now without anything to show for your efforts. Remember, being compassionate is honorable, but you won’t be able to save another person unless you save yourself first.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You need to inform your friends about your position on a work-related issue today. You would be wise to explain yourself carefully because you want their support. But you’re tired of having to tell your story one more time, so everyone is able to understand your next move. Remember, it’s not an all-or-nothing proposition; consider your audience and readjust your message as needed.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your actions may not be in full alignment with your intentions now. Although you have the words to explain what you’re doing, you lack the finesse to execute your plan. One strategy is to share your perspective based upon your analytical thinking. But then, set aside logic and do what feels right in your heart.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You would like to make your choice between two divergent positions today by finding a harmonious balance between the extremes. Although encouraging fair play is one of your strengths, it’s challenging when one person is saying “my way or the highway” so insistently that there’s no room to negotiate. You’re not the sole arbiter of the current situation, so you may need to relinquish control. Have faith that things will unfold as they should.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your two key planets are warrior Mars and ruthless Pluto. These tough planets are in a difficult quincunx aspect today, requiring you to tone down your message. Manage your overall energy carefully, for not everyone has the ability to match your intensity. Your passionate nature is a blessing, but sometimes it can feel like a curse. There’s no reason to be afraid of your own emotions; however, it’s a good idea to respect the boundaries of those who are.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You may run out of patience today because you’re eager to explore what is beneath the surface. It’s particularly frustrating if you want to investigate a meaningful subject, yet others don’t understand what you’re talking about. Your friends probably have good intentions, but they aren’t able to slow down enough to notice what’s really important. If someone seems easily distracted, it’s a sign for you to retreat. Instead of pushing for a soul connection now, relax your agenda and make room for intimacy to happen more organically later on.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Everyone at work may get on your nerves because no one is doing what’s expected of them. Expressing your anger, however, isn’t enough today. Losing your temper doesn’t motivate anyone to get on track, nor does it improve your attitude, either. Self-control is tricky business now, for unspoken emotions can have surprising consequences. Your wisest strategy is to tell your co-workers about your feelings without placing blame or expectations on them. Your disclosure clears the air and allows you to move on.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You want to share what’s in your heart today, but you might become hooked on your own words in the process. However, your ability to stay emotionally detached is a mixed blessing. It’s fortunate that you are able to communicate objectively, but your actions may appear awkward. Ultimately, it’s better to take extra time to acknowledge your feelings than to act them out unconsciously.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Establishing and maintaining clear boundaries is often difficult for you Fish, yet today it’s even harder than usual. You can trick yourself into believing that your feelings are logical, but caution is advised. Impulsive behavior can take you to the edge of predictability. Slow down, even if your thinking is lightning fast.

Your Weekly Love Horoscopes for June 27

We are heading toward a weird weekend with a New Moon Solar Eclipse in supersensitive Cancer happening on Friday. This powerful lunar alignment connects with traditional Saturn, unpredictable Uranus and formidable Pluto. Trust may be hard to come by in a volatile environment of exploding emotions countered by a fear of change. Act with caution to reduce stress and disappointment. Exploring the depths of our feelings is the first thing to do before making any radical changes.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Complications start to sizzle on Wednesday when your playful ruling planet Mars is sideswiped by forceful Pluto, triggering a struggle for power with a controlling person. Stay cool and avoid speaking or acting impulsively so that you can sidestep any potential emotional minefields. Practicing kindness to yourself and others helps to smooth over bumps in the road to relationship satisfaction this week.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Persistence is one of the strengths of your sign, but your determination could be more of a burden than an asset this weekend. The Moon and mental Mercury shift into your 4th House of Roots on Saturday, which encourages you to try to turn back the clock. Instead of attempting to hold on to the past, you’ll do more for your personal interests by creatively initiating positive change for your future.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Friday’s Solar Eclipse activating your 2nd House of Self-Worth can lead to a sudden re-evaluation of your talents and your needs. Trying to analyze the situation, though, won’t work until you allow your emotions to lead the way. Sure, you may be on unstable ground and uncertain about what steps to take next, but logic has to follow feelings this time around.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

This could be a very powerful week as Friday’s New Moon in sentimental Cancer is also a Solar Eclipse. Emotions may erupt from deep inside of you, which can muddy the waters of your relationship life. But if you’re willing to let go of the past, this cathartic process can be a healing event that finally frees you from old fears and memories of partnerships that didn’t end well. Change your perspective by embracing the amazing possibilities of the future, instead.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

The Moon and Mercury’s entry into your sign on Saturday sharpens your mind and empowers your emotions. A little relationship drama is possible, but if you keep your sense of humor, the situation can end up being funny and creative instead of an exercise in frustration. You will be fine as long as you balance your need for attention with equal concern for your partner’s desires.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Reason is normally your ally, but your analytical skills might not be operating at the highest level this weekend. Friday’s New Moon in sensitive Cancer is also a Solar Eclipse, giving logic the boot while feelings take over. Do your best to maintain some common sense, but keep in mind that most people are likely to be swimming in emotional tides that aren’t easily explained.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Try to lighten your workload this weekend because Friday’s New Moon in your 10th House of Public Responsibility is a Solar Eclipse. Leadership is often rewarding, but this week’s demands may be unreasonable. Plans could change suddenly and support might disappear, which is why a lighter schedule is exactly what you need to have some time for fun.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

If you’re looking for mystery and intrigue, this is a good week to find it. Friday’s New Moon in sister Water sign Cancer is a Solar Eclipse that can unravel long-term plans. Drop your romantic expectations and do your best to go with the flow. Trying to fight off the fears of others might be a losing cause, but doing your best to keep things light-hearted can certainly help. Laughter is contagious so don’t be afraid to pass it around.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Friday’s Cancer New Moon is a Solar Eclipse in your 8th House of Intimacy that could rock your relationship world. If you’re single, attracting someone new and different is quite possible. But if you’re in a committed partnership now, prepare yourself for some complications as you and your partner encounter stubborn obstacles and uncertain feelings. Keep in mind that the intensity will soon pass, but it takes time to navigate your way through the relationship maze.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Your relationship life is rocking and rolling this week with a New Moon Solar Eclipse falling in your 7th House of Partners on Friday. This powerful event promises radical changes, but also stirs your resistance to taking chances. Learning to shift gears from forward to neutral to reverse as smoothly as possible should help you reduce the likelihood of an accident happening when you least expect it.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

The Moon slips into your 7th House of Partners on Saturday, which should amplify the activity in your relationship life. Just be careful about overselling yourself or putting down someone who is a little bit inflated with their own self-importance. A more playful approach to bursting bubbles can turn a sarcastic remark into a joyful moment that brings fun instead of embarrassment.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

It’s a very complex week since Friday’s cuddly Cancer Moon falls in your 5th House of Romance. A Water sign lunar alignment is generally a green light for love and affection, but this particular lunation is also a Solar Eclipse with some intense connections to disruptive outer planets. Take what comes your way without expectations and you should experience much more fun than frustration.

Daily Horoscopes for Saturday, June 25

The insistent Aries Moon provokes strong reactions, but it’s difficult to sustain a feeling once the moment has passed. Clever Mercury challenges feisty Mars, stirring up even more unrest. Thankfully, the Moon’s shift into uncomplicated Taurus at 4:52 pm EDT helps settle our agitated emotions. Though the stabilizing Taurus Moon lures us toward simpler pleasures, the Sun’s sextile to expansive Jupiter focuses our attention on the distant horizon.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You’re likely to step on someone’s toes as mischievous Mercury aspects warrior Mars. You might not even realize that your behavior is reckless because the self-directed Aries Moon encourages you to act first and think about it later. Remember, an impulsive response can get you into trouble because your immediate reaction might be off the mark. Wait until next week to make any major decisions if you can.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You are able to anticipate the Moon’s return to sensible Taurus later today, and you want to make the most of it. Opening your heart to your desires is a healthy strategy, but you may find it difficult to distinguish your attractions from what’s absolutely critical. Make separate lists for your needs and your wants to help you prioritize what’s in front of you.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You can’t prevent the noisy words from buzzing in your ears today, even if they don’t offer the hint of a solution. Messenger Mercury is hyped up from its aspect to angry red Mars, firing your thoughts into a stream of consciousness. But the emotionally turbulent waters morph into a gently meandering river later in the day. Although your sense of urgency might fade, your conviction won’t. Don’t put off making a big decision if you already know what you want.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You appear as if you are strong and silent today, so others may not realize how lost you’re feeling. Your thoughts are running around in circles like a hamster on a wheel, making it difficult to reach a sensible conclusion about what’s happening. Your strategy is to keep your insecurities quiet rather than acknowledging any confusion. Although you’re correct in believing that you should only share your business concerns on a need-to-know basis, discussing your fears with a trusted friend can help you feel much better.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Although you’re pushing yourself to finish a big project, it looks like it might take a little longer than you first expected. You may be tempted to blame someone else for your delay, but the current obstacles are most likely in your way because of you. Listen to the wisdom of the universe and slow down your pace now while you can still solve the problem.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Try to accomplish a lot early in the day since you could become more lackadaisical with the way things are when the Moon enters your 9th House of Future Vision. Your accurate perceptions grow fuzzy, making it impossible to decide much of anything. You might think that waiting will help you understand things better. Although you would prefer to be more practical, the day may still hold a few surprises for you.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You don’t like being put on the spot, especially if it’s on your own territory. You may not be able to express what you’re feeling because you can see things from several points of view. The smartest response today is to take the course of least resistance. Luckily, you can make any performance a successful one. Keep your personal opinions private until you are absolutely sure of your final answer.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You might exhaust yourself today as you run through a mental obstacle course over and over again. However, each time you try to handle the resistance in the same manner, you believe that your strategy will work. Unfortunately, you’re wasting valuable resources by relying on old tactics. You may be pleasantly surprised by the outcome if you do something radically different now.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

It feels as if you’re running out of time so stop procrastinating, sort things out and initiate your new plan of action. Don’t fret if there are still miscellaneous details to handle. You should be able to fill in more missing pieces as you move along with your strategy. However, it’s important to take advantage of the combustible Aries Moon in your expressive 5th House before the energy mellows later this evening.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may be quite eager to get going today, but it’s not yet time to jump the gun. Don’t rush anything; you will intuitively know the exact moment when you should make your move. Keep in mind that your mental preparation is a key ingredient in creating success for your current enterprise. You are being tested to determine if you can narrow your vision and concentrate solely on accomplishing your goals. Stay aware of your process and nudge yourself back on track if you’re lured off course for any reason.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You are able to connect with almost anyone today and, more importantly, you have lots of fun doing it. Unfortunately, you could also waste precious time doing things that are not critical to your goals. It’s wise to rein yourself in early on or you could lose control of your schedule. Fewer distractions now make it easier to find the satisfaction and success that you seek.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may be ready to move ahead with a collaborative project today, or you might try to create something special on your own. Luckily, you receive kudos for your current efforts and can gain enough recognition to make your new venture worthwhile. But exercise caution, nonetheless, for you could become so enamored with your own ideas that you cannot clearly judge the potential value of your plan.

Weekend Lunar Love Horoscopes for June 24 – 26

Weekend Love: Lunar Love

by Jeff Jawer

A Dose of Adventure

June 24 – 26

A fast and loose Friday fits the lunar landscape as the Moon is firing through irrepressible Aries. The freedom to change plans and act spontaneously can break through behavioral barriers with bold action and reckless abandon. New experiences and people can be especially stimulating yet impulsiveness can spur attraction or anger that may be regretted in a day or so. There is, though, one softening influence as the Moon makes a sweet sextile with alluring Venus to brighten up the late afternoon and early evening.

There’s a changing of the emotional guard on Saturday afternoon when the Moon swings into earthy Taurus. This comfort-loving sign moves at a slower pace, like Ferdinand the Bull leisurely smelling the flowers. Taurus is all about enjoying the pleasures of the senses, encouraging us to linger over good food and lounge around partaking in pleasing music or mellow conversation. Normally, this isn’t a very adventurous sign which would prefer to stay on the couch than go out to a club. However, a lunar conjunction with adventurous Jupiter and the Sun’s slick sextile to this giant planet add a big dose of optimism and a generosity of spirit that could make for a very special Saturday night.

The quiet confidence of Taurus is rewarded when we are comfortable with ourselves and don’t work so hard to impress others. Hope can be very high with these buoyant aspects, but it’s not quite the moment to make long-term commitments because whatever delicious social treats we discover on Saturday may taste very differently on Sunday. The Sun clashes with rebellious Uranus in a 90-degree square, making us suddenly more interested in independence and freedom than in pairing up and settling down.

Your Daily Horoscopes for June 23

The Moon rushes into impulsive Aries at 4:23 am EDT, reflecting our need for action. But the Moon’s square to the emotionally protective Cancer Sun has us wondering whether to blindly run ahead or consciously retreat until we feel safer. Still, the Moon’s conjunction with wild Uranus provokes us to overcome our hesitancy and risk uncertainty, while her late afternoon square to unrelenting Pluto indicates our struggle to maintain our positions.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Although you are able to charge forward into the unknown, it would be wise to consider your options before you find yourself in over your head. Your usual way of overcoming fear is to jump into a situation as you feel the adrenaline building. However, the Moon’s shift into your sign today allows you to be uncharacteristically sensitive, making you more aware of the potential problems ahead. You can quickly change your plans along the way, but a bit of forethought is still advised.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You could be so energetic today that you think you must hide your enthusiasm or you might upset the delicate balance that’s holding everything together. However, denying your feelings will probably increase the intensity of what’s happening, rather than alleviating it. It’s true that a total lack of self-restraint may exacerbate a problem, but your response isn’t limited to all or nothing. Be smart; revealing your emotions gradually will prevent others from being overwhelmed.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You Twins are quite capable of following two tracks at the same time. You want your friends to be open and honest as they tell you what they need from you today. But simultaneously, you are afraid that their words are hiding unexpressed feelings. You might even be tempted to act foolishly as you try to expose someone’s hidden agenda. However, there’s no reason to force anything now since the truth will become apparent without your panicky reaction.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You want others to see your courage in action today, motivating you to bury your feelings and push beyond your usual limitations. Your satisfaction is dependent on your public appearance, leading you to hide your anxiety so effectively that others think that you are fearless. But there’s no need to trick anyone into believing that you’re a superhero. Just quietly do your very best, and the results will speak for themselves.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You are excited about all the possibilities for growth and adventure, yet you are also aware that you will have to make sacrifices to accomplish your goals. Thankfully, you’re not concerned now about anything that could get in the way of your success. In fact, you might be so sure of yourself that you assume you’ll be able to overcome obstacles as they appear. Be wise and improve your chances by planning carefully and following through methodically.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You face an uphill battle today as you try to figure out why your recent plan went wrong. You may be struggling to unravel the complex factors playing out in the present moment, but it’s apparent that you must make a mid-course correction or you won’t reach your destination. Nevertheless, it’s not wise to make changes too quickly. Overreacting may be even less helpful than doing nothing. Don’t look back to uncover your mistakes; instead, look ahead to prepare for where you are going.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

A relationship creates stress today as someone rebels against your plan. A close friend or partner might surprise you by expressing a position that is very different from yours. Although you may choose not to argue, just letting others do what they want isn’t in your best interest. It’s much smarter to directly confront small problems now so they won’t grow into major ones later.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You aren’t satisfied by simply doing good work today; you want others to acknowledge your brilliance. Attacking an old project in a new and different way isn’t enough to hide your insecurity. But there’s no need to put so much effort into seeking recognition, especially if your desire for the spotlight allows you to forget that your initial purpose was to get the job done. Creating a detailed plan can be quite helpful, but too much analysis might get in the way of your productivity.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You are overly self-expressive today with the enterprising Aries Moon now moving through your 5th House of Spontaneity. However, your exuberant feelings of creativity may be too much for those around you. Being less demonstrative is not a sensible solution, but it helps to allow time for others to show off their talents, too. Encouraging friends and co-workers to embark on an adventure with you may be much more rewarding than just doing it by yourself.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may be stepping onto unfamiliar ground today as you struggle to balance your desire to engage someone you love and your need to withdraw into your own world. Fortunately, you can play both extremes now. Keep your heart open while also being mindful of setting your boundaries and respecting the needs of others. It doesn’t matter if you’re feeling a bit uncomfortable, because it’s at these awkward spots that the real magic happens.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You are an intense bundle of erratic thoughts today as familiar ideas combine to create ingenious plans. Luckily, you can showcase your talents without too much effort. However, there is a huge difference between an adequate job and an awesome one. Putting extra time into your preparation pays off now, so don’t take any unnecessary shortcuts.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

It’s scary to push forward so far that you must scramble your way back to safe ground. There’s no need to throw out your sensible plans just because you momentarily forgot about them and then moved too fast. Risk-taking isn’t necessary now; just slow down and stay on the current path. Don’t let the increasing pressure trick you into reacting impulsively.

Your Daily Horoscopes for June 20

The humanitarian Aquarius Moon depersonalizes our feelings without necessarily making us less emotional. We are more moved to express ourselves about social wrongs and political injustices now, rather than our individual plights. We’re reminded that we can’t rationalize all our desires when the Moon shifts into watery Pisces at 4:45 pm EDT. However, we’re drawn in several directions as energetic Mars enters multifaceted Gemini later this evening.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

A bit of confidence is a good thing, but you could take it too far today. It’s unwise to believe that you can do everything you want, so choose your battles very carefullyand then give it your best shot. Unfortunately, if you attempt to take on more than you can handle now, you’ll quickly wish that your life was moving at a slower pace.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

It’s a good idea to slow down and concentrate because the interpersonal dynamics at work may be complicated today. Fortunately, you have an intuitive sense that cuts through the complexities of office politics and gets to the core of the issue. Others will look to you for guidance now because they think you know what’s going on. Although it’s helpful to share your perspective, don’t forget that there are many different ways to reach the same destination.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Current circumstances pull you one way today while your fantasies lure you in a totally different direction. On other days your confusion could be problematic, but now it may be the key to balancing your commitments with your dreams. Don’t try to limit your thinking with logic because your imagination can offer workable answers that are not restrained by the constraints of the real world.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Hanging out with your friends has been an antidote recently to an uncomfortable relationship situation. Unfortunately, you may feel more vulnerable now and your fear of being hurt motivates you to withdraw into the safety of your own private world. Thankfully, social settings can provide the opportunity for low-key casual interactions that won’t stir up too much resistance. Enjoy others without becoming enmeshed in any complicated emotional melodramas.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

The Moon’s visit to your 7th House of Companions may tempt you to pin your hopes and dreams on someone else now. Although a solid partnership won’t likely pose any special difficulties, you are more prone to project your fantasies onto others. Attaching your goals onto those closest to you can naturally alter interpersonal dynamics. Let your mind meander for a while, but don’t confuse an enticing daydream with a viable relationship path.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You are growing more enthusiastic about expanding your range of activity now. You’re ready to make your move by heading out on an adventure and journeying to new destinations. Perhaps you might even think about a completely different area of study that opens your mind and widens your intellectual horizons. However, make sure to connect your latest venture with the practical side of life, even if your interests are conceptual, like history, literature or philosophy. Keep your feet on the ground or you’ll quickly lose interest down the road.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

The Moon in your 5th House of Self-Expression brings out your artistic inclinations now, and you would be wise to put your creativity into motion. Fortunately, you can tap into a deep mother lode of symbolism by allowing yourself to sink into your own silence. But you still need to bring your experiences out into the open and turn them into something that resonates with others.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You could fall into the trap of needing to be right if someone tries to overpower your reasoning with a false sense of authority. Unfortunately, there is little room for give and take unless both parties are open to what the other is saying. Your current rigidity might motivate your opponent to present an argument so well considered that you are willing to change your mind. Holding on to your position can be a wise move up to a point. Knowing when to jump ship is even smarter.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Just because you have a strong opinion about how to do something at work, your certainty doesn’t make your idea the best way. Being open to learning from others requires you to let go of your attachment to being right. Forget about proving your superiority; instead, acknowledge that everyone has something special to offer. Respectfully asking your co-workers to share their knowledge and expertise is a sign of your own intelligence.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Seeking pleasure while at work can also improve your self-esteem today. When you feel better about yourself, you will likely grow more productive in everything that you do. Your new efficiency begins with giving yourself permission to have fun. Ironically, an act of apparent selfishness can replenish your energy and enable you to offer more to others in return.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

The paradox of the day stems from the relationship between simplicity and complexity. Oddly enough, eliminating extraneous noise so you can concentrate on fewer tasks is quite complicated. Interpersonal politics might grow entangled and there’s a variety of possible scenarios to be considered now. Nevertheless, you’ll be happier once you cut back unnecessary activities. Luckily, your job should get easier once you make the commitment to follow through with whatever you start.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your outlandish fantasies may take you to distant galaxies or parallel universes while the Moon is traveling through your 12th House of Imagination. However, the real focus now is on what you do and not on what you think. Take the most direct course of action possible, for it will lead you to your desired destination. Make a map and then follow it with unwavering intention.
