Today’s Horoscopes for June 12th

Today’s passionate Scorpio Moon intensifies our feelings as we try to balance our needs with others’. We want to talk about our problems since communicator Mercury joins the Sun in interactive Gemini. Venus is also in noisy Gemini and her supportive sextile to wild and crazy Uranus suggests that our desires won’t necessarily fit into normal social expectations. Thankfully, Saturn’s direct turn indicates that progress will be forthcoming anyhow.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Relationships may appear to be out of control, but you aren’t too worried because you are confident that you can pull everything back together. Actually, you might even enjoy all the action today. Surprisingly, you could get what you want if you maintain a healthy perspective so you don’t act too impulsively. Slow down and turn on your charm; your witty ways may score you the extra points you seek if you remember not to push things too far.

 

 

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

This may be an exciting day as reality gives a boost to your aspirations, tempting you to reach beyond your current goals. Although you realize that the sky is the limit, you are quite concerned about others taking your ideas in a different direction than you want. There is more going on behind the scenes and you are rather intrigued by the notion of untangling all the threads to figure it out. Keep in mind that you might do better by stepping back and letting someone else take charge for a while.

 

 

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Brilliant ideas keep popping into awareness, enticing you into desiring more than you currently have. Unfortunately, your fantasies may only be fleeting and will soon fade back into the vast reaches of your subconscious. Although it’s challenging to slow down your thoughts, it’s best not to overdo it with too much caffeine or too many exciting activities. Enjoy the buzz without going over the edge.

 

 

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You may be dreaming of performing on stage today, but you probably get nervous just thinking about being in front of so many people. However, if you are not able to do your own thing creatively, you might try exploring ways to ease your anxiety. One key to your current happiness is your willingness to reach out to others; talking about your fears is a sensible first step to overcoming your own resistance.

 

 

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You may be required to face angels and demons of your own making today. You could be drawn toward a lovely person, only to realize that you’ve stepped outside your regular comfort zone. Setting sensible boundaries is a smart strategy, but you must follow through by enforcing them. Thankfully, the power of positive thought can be worth more now than anything else. It’s better to associate with optimistic people than someone who brings you down.

 

 

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You might not be clear about what is expected of you now, but that won’t likely prevent you from trying to be everything to everyone. Naturally, it makes more sense to focus and find the clarity you need, especially since your key planet Mercury is aligning with the brilliant Sun. However, don’t downplay your desires today, even if they seem out of character. Remember that logical analysis can only take you so far; exploring unfamiliar territory may be just what the doctor ordered.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You may obsess about someone or something today and you’re tempted to go overboard in order to reach satisfaction. Your visions of the future can drive you further than logic. Meanwhile, your desires may seem out of control because your key planet Venus aligns with rebellious Uranus, making it difficult for you to know when to stop. Peace arrives when you can find a healthy balance between what you have and what you want.

 

 

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

It feels exhilarating today when you express your desires because what you say appears to be heard. You don’t want anyone to fix anything; you only need acknowledgment from someone who won’t disappear when the emotional pressure builds. The Moon’s visit to your sign deepens your intensity and pumps up your adrenaline until you are all wound up. Keep in mind that you don’t have to push anyone past his or her resistance just because you’ve moved through yours.

 

 

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your words have great impact now as talkative Mercury lines up with the Sun in your 7th House of Partnerships. However, rather than motivating others with an inspirational talk, you may want to set your work aside to pursue simple pleasures. Although having fun is usually your top priority, today you have cosmic messages to deliver first.

 

 

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Your ability to stay on course may be tested today, but you should be able to develop the momentum necessary to do the job. However, your route may be circuitous, and veering off course for a bit could be the best way to reach your targets. You might feel as if your current goals are unattainable, but getting discouraged won’t help. Do whatever is necessary to keep your spirits high, including yoga, meditation or exercise. These activities won’t increase your productivity, but can help you find the elusive balance that you seek.

 

 

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You might not be able to settle down today because your mind is crackling with excitement. You could even fall in love or, at minimum, eagerly flirt with someone worthy of your admiration. However, if the action heats up, you may wish to withdraw to a more secure place. Emotional connections are important, but it’s also wise to spend time establishing a new routine. Don’t try to do too much now, for incremental change is easier to manage than turning your entire life inside out.

 

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

The energy at home today may not feel as stable as you would prefer with erratic Uranus buzzing romantic Venus in your 4th House of Family. You have things to say, but may be fearful that your honesty could stir up more trouble than it’s worth. However, worrying about what others think could prevent you from taking much-needed action. Speak from your heart and deal with the consequences as you go along.

Your Daily Horoscopes for June 5

It’s challenging to find any clear direction today because there are so many planets forming noisy aspects now. We start looking for ways to have more fun when the Moon enters playful Leo at 11:03 am EDT, shifting the energy outward. We’re ready to move on and leave old emotional issues in the past. Nevertheless, they may resurface in a more active manner of expression as Mercury, Venus and Mars create tense aspects with Saturn, Uranus and Pluto.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Your unsettled feelings might drive you to the edge today, yet the adrenaline rush lets you know that you are alive. Relationship drama weighs heavily on your mind now, but once you express your intentions, you’ll feel revitalized. Don’t bother trying to figure out what’s going on; all you need is a positive attitude as you reinvent your future.

 

 

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You may be self-critical today as strict Saturn leans on sweet Venus. If you fall short of fulfilling your desires, you will probably believe that it was your own fault, no matter how much effort you put forth. Although you might not receive the approval you want now, recognition could still come later. Don’t keep everyone at a distance so you can appear invincible. Others will be more likely to support you if you have the courage to reveal your vulnerability and just be yourself.

 

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your restlessness may be enjoyable now because your current activity level matches the speed at which your thoughts are unfolding. Although you might actually feel quite productive, you won’t likely accomplish as much as you think you will. Ultimately, the choice is yours: fritter your time away doing one trivial thing after another or consciously concentrate on getting the results you want.

 

 

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You’re ready to swing into motion today, but you may not want to do anything too quickly. It’s wise to spend the morning in contemplation, going over your ideas and analyzing the possible outcomes to each of your ambitious strategies. However, making careful plans isn’t enough to propel you to your desired destination, so use the fiery Leo Moon’s confidence to initiate action that will bring tangible results.

 

 

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

The Moon’s return to your sign today helps you get your intentions out into the open. Even if you’ve been trying to keep your emotions secret, it may be time to take a risk and share them with others. But you cannot just express every single whim that crosses your mind to whomever you happen to be talking to at the moment. Setting healthy boundaries is crucial now. Your inner life is your business alone, unless you choose to discuss your feelings with someone you trust.

 

 

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

The Moon’s shift into your 12th House of Privacy today raises issues, for you’re pulled between telling others what you feel and revealing nothing at all. You will probably be happier if you share some of your secrets with a close friend, but it’s not wise to ramble on. Stay conscious of your message and stop talking before you diffuse what you need to say.

 

 

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

The Moon enters your 11th House of Social Networking today, inviting you to be a more active participant in your group of friends and associates. Your desire to belong to a community motivates you to get involved with others. However, you must draw a firm line to establish your limits now or you’ll be dragged into a drama that needn’t impact you otherwise. Remember, hold your ground in a way that allows you to still join in the fun.

 

 

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You could be expected to do something at work today that requires you to set aside your personal agenda. Even if you’re committed to excelling at your job, you don’t like it when others assume that you’ll say yes, even before you do. Instead of immediately rearranging your previous schedule to jump into a new assignment, take a risk and share your concerns. Once your position is out on the table, you’ll be able to negotiate a solution that is comfortable for everyone involved.

 

 

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You may be even more outspoken than normal, stating your opinion on everything and everyone. Others may be confused by your responses because one moment you’re uplifting and inspirational, and just a few minutes later you’re overly pragmatic and resistant to new ideas. Instead of reacting by saying the first thing that crosses your mind, let everyone know that you need to clarify your conflicting thoughts before you draw any conclusions. No one will fault you for this kind of honesty; a little discretion goes a long way.

 

 

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may be struggling today as you try to decide whether to share your desires with someone you admire. You want your feelings to be acknowledged, but you might be afraid of being rejected. If you go ahead and take a risk, at least reveal your emotions consciously, without expecting any particular response. The smartest way to minimize potential emotional discomfort is to stay unattached from the outcome. The real magic now is found in embarking on the journey, and not arriving at the destination.

 

 

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

It’s all too easy for you to slip back into an old, familiar relationship pattern as the Moon enters your 7th House of Companions. Although the Moon connects you to the past, there’s no guarantee that a tried and true method will work today because active Mars is aspecting unruly Uranus. Instead of reacting impulsively, consider the consequences before doing something you might quickly regret.

 

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

The Moon’s shift into your 6th House of Health today reminds you of the relationship between diet, exercise and your overall well-being. Even if you’re already eating organically and practicing yoga, it may be time to make minor improvements to your daily regimen. It’s always wise to cultivate more awareness and enhance your lifestyle; even the littlest adjustments now can have significant positive ramifications.

Your Weekly Lunar Love Horoscopes for June 3 – 5

Weekend Love: Lunar Love

by Jeff Jawer

From Stressful to Sensual

June 3 – 5

This is an intense weekend that starts with the Moon’s entry into her supersensitive home sign Cancer on Friday morning. The security that we seek during this lunar transit will be hard to come by because of her tense aspects with explosive Uranus, punishing Pluto and stern Saturn that put us through our emotional paces. This cosmic climate is not easy for relationships since trust is hard to come by now. Whether it’s internal inconsistency or external chaos, settling into a comfortable connection with someone appears to be a major challenge.

When trying to maintain a partnership, it’s best to step back from potential conflicts as these stressful aspects are building a psychological powder keg that can be detonated with one careless remark. Thankfully, Saturday is a very different kind of day since the Moon’s only planetary contacts are harmonious ones. In fact, they are sexy, sassy and spicy sextiles with passionate Mars in the morning and lovable Venus at night. These are delightful transits for experiencing some simple and comfortable pleasures.

There’s no need to be bold or adventurous as Venus and Mars in Taurus prefer cozy, good times that don’t require drama or risk. In fact, generous Jupiter’s entry into easygoing Taurus on Saturday adds an extra dollop of enjoyment for those who stop long enough to feed their senses. Indulging in the gifts of nature, music, food or massage is especially rewarding.

Sunday’s tale is different since the Moon strides into expressive Leo in the morning to cultivate more dramatic emotions. Feelings are a big deal in this sign, with a tendency toward grand gestures and even greater passion.

Daily Horoscopes for June 3rd

We tend to rely more on our feelings once the Moon enters moody Cancer at 4:36 am EDT. Logic falls to the wayside when rational Mercury forms a conflicting square with spacey Neptune today, decreasing the distinction between fact and fantasy. And, Neptune turns retrograde today, turning up the volume on our dreams. We must tread carefully because we can easily trick ourselves into believing we are happy in order to avoid dealing with the truth.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Although things appear to be moving forward at first, your vision seems to be obscured today. You’re ready for action, but it’s hard to tell where you are going now. Even if you intuitively know that it makes sense to cool your jets, your frustration won’t likely dissipate until you start making progress. Nevertheless, it will be easier to head off in a new direction once the fog clears next week.

 

 

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You may be losing patience with people who turn small problems into major crises. But even if you know that some damage control is necessary today, you might not be in a position to do what’s required. Rather than pretending you have a sensible plan, ease up on your reins and let events take their own course for now. You will be more effective if you wait until Monday to saddle up and take charge.

 

 

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You believe that you’re clever enough to lead others successfully. You’re so good at spinning stories now that you could even convince yourself. However, it’s like you’re currently walking through a carnival house of mirrors and your perceptions are bent way out of shape. Stepping back and allowing someone else to take control today can save you from additional complications next week.

 

 

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Although you are sympathetic to other people’s feelings, you may try to hide behind a protective shell because the energy is so intense now. The Moon’s return to your sign complicates your life because there are so many crosscurrents that you can’t tell which way to go. Don’t let anyone intimidate you into making a decision prematurely. It’s much easier to change your mind before you commit than after you’ve headed off in the wrong direction.

 

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You may be a bit befuddled today because you want to take action, yet the flow of energy is predominately inward. The Moon in your 12th House of Soul Consciousness reflects your current need to escape from the hustle and bustle of the outer world. But a difficult situation pressures you to do something about it now. If it seems like you’re riding an emotional rollercoaster, just hold on tightly and wait until your feelings smooth out before letting others know what’s on your mind.

 

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Others often come to you for advice when they need a sharp analytical mind to assess their predicaments. However, you’re the one that’s now seeking a reality check. Unfortunately, you can’t rely on anyone else today, for everyone is just as perplexed as you are. Delay any important decisions that you can, for your mental acuity will return next week.

 

 

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

It’s challenging to settle your nerves today because your current anxiety is coming from several different sources. Unfortunately, isolating individual problems and solving them won’t address the overall big picture. Instead of seeking solutions that require practical thinking and specific action, you’re better off now to work on improving your attitude. If you can be flexible enough about what is happening, you’ll realize that you don’t have to waste energy worrying about things you cannot control.

 

 

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

It may seem as if someone is pushing you into an unwanted leadership role today. You don’t want to take charge now because you’re not really sure about the future. Nevertheless, everyone is still looking to you for direction. You don’t need to pretend that you know more than you actually do. You can still effectively share your current thinking while acknowledging that you don’t have all the answers. Meanwhile, don’t forget to give yourself permission to feel special because your peers truly believe in you.

 

 

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your concern over someone’s behavior today may present a problem. Your temptation is to share your strong opinion, especially if you believe that your ideas can help others see the truth. But it’s not as straightforward as it appears because self-righteousness can lead you astray. The warning signal is thinking that your way is the only way. Keeping an open mind can turn a huge obstacle into a small bump in the road.

 

 

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may be annoyed today about having to deal with associates who won’t acknowledge their real motives. You are able to be flexible now if you know the truth, but you don’t want to draw your conclusions based upon incomplete data. Unfortunately, misinterpretations are likely because the information just isn’t as clear as you want. Stop struggling; your current disorientation will only last for a day or two. In the meantime, cultivate your dreams, instead.

 

 

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

If someone presents you with a problem today, don’t make judgments based upon how you might react in a similar situation. You are wired to be cool and calm, even in a highly charged situation, while others are likely to get caught up in a drama. Be a real friend now and don’t be overly critical; simply listen to their stories and offer your shoulder when needed.

 

 

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may believe that you’re being extremely productive and want others to notice what you’re doing. But it’s not a good idea to bring too much attention to yourself now because your work isn’t necessarily as great as you think it is. Your illusions are flowing freely today, testing your ability to maintain a clear perspective. Your desires are warping your perceptions, so lying low and remaining under the radar may be your smartest strategy at this time.

Your Daily Horoscopes for May 31

We may choose independence over commitment today as affectionate Venus forms an uneasy semisquare with disruptive Uranus. Luckily, we can break free of a restrictive relationship pattern by replacing fear with trust. But a challenging Mercury-Saturn aspect turns our words cold if we don’t take the time to talk about our feelings. The Moon’s shift into airy Gemini at 7:56 pm EDT relieves some of the tension, yet we’re still able to keep it real.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may try to put off the inevitable today, but sooner or later you’ll need to make a decision that you don’t want to face. You might be tempted to take the easy way out, but it’s wiser to think about the consequences of your actions, especially when it comes to choices that affect your finances. A temporary fix can be as problematic as sidestepping the situation, so muster up the courage to overcome your resistance and respond with your complete attention to the matter.

 

 

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

It’s easier for you to take care of business when you’re not distracted by a lack of solid footing. However, your self-confidence can suffer when things seem to be in flux and you can’t see what’s around the next corner. And although you don’t necessarily know what will happen in the future, at least things seem to be running smoothly now. Just remember that this is no time to get lazy. There are many things you should be doing today, even if you’re not under pressure to respond.

 

 

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You can be extremely productive today, but only if you overcome your feelings of restlessness. Unfortunately, now that the pace of events is slowing down, your thoughts are speeding up — and they may land you in big trouble if you’re looking to stir up some mischief. Think seriously about what you really want, for you might just find more of it than you can handle.

 

 

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Sometimes you can overcome your insecurity and do whatever makes the most sense. At other times you prefer to take the wait-and-see approach. Today, however, it’s difficult to know how to act. You’re tempted to be less assertive if you can avoid direct confrontation, but someone might come to the rescue by supporting your efforts. Life is easier when you know that you’ve got a friend.

 

 

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Although you have a clear sense of what needs to be done at work, everything seems to take longer than you expect. You may have to turn down a friendly invitation or postpone a pleasurable social engagement so you can finish your chores. Don’t try to justify any kind of procrastination. Once you get rolling, a seemingly insurmountable task will flow faster than you thought.

 

 

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

This can be a day of solid progress as long as you don’t bite off more than you can handle. Obviously, rushing through any job just to get it done invites sloppiness. Working faster encourages you to make mistakes that can haunt you later on. Take your time and do it right, even if everyone else seems to be in a hurry. It’s more important to lay a lasting foundation now than to meet someone else’s arbitrary deadline.

 

 

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You could grow frustrated today as your boss changes your job before you finish it. Each time you make progress, someone switches the rules once again. You are tempted to give up because you don’t want to waste your time doing something that ultimately has no lasting value. However, you probably cannot see the bigger picture; it’s better now to analyze things less and simply attend to your work as it is assigned. Everything will make more sense soon enough.

 

 

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Establishing a sustainable pace of production feels good now, for you’re tired of running around in circles that keep bringing you back to the same place. Today it finally feels as if you are making progress, yet someone may want to slow you down even more. Don’t resist; this is a chance to improve the quality of your work by taking a break and replenishing your energy.

 

 

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

This may seem like a relatively quiet day, yet you can achieve positive results on several fronts. The cluster of planets in your 6th House of Details enables you to make improvements to your health regimen that will have lasting effects. Additionally, increasing your efficiency on the job by reorganizing your files, catching up on emails or doing routine paperwork is an intelligent use of today’s transits. Working steadily is more satisfying now, so make the most of it while you’re in the mood.

 

 

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Setting your goals early today can help you be even more productive than you thought possible. However, it’s not a good idea to expect amazing results to just be dropped into your lap. There are no shortcuts available now and you will have to work extra hard if you want to reap the benefits later on. Thankfully, the Moon is visiting your 5th House of Fun and Games for most of the day, allowing you to have an enjoyable time crossing off the things on your list one at a time.

 

 

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You’re not afraid of stirring things up if you are ready to make changes in your life. However, you are probably still enjoying the recent stability with so many planets in down-to-earth Taurus. You like the consistent connection that you have with your work and are eagerly anticipating reaping the fruits of your current labor. If things are going well, you may be tempted to take a bit of time off; however it’s not wise to start coasting yet. Stay focused on your goals; you’ll have plenty of opportunity to relax later on.

 

 

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

It can feel quite demoralizing if someone criticizes you out of the blue; however, a friend’s harsh analysis might be very inspiring now. Don’t put up unnecessary boundaries; instead, be an active listener and take the feedback you receive to heart. You have an opportunity to improve your communication skills and this could have a positive impact on your relationships with others. Remember, the right guidance can be a blessing, so don’t let your pride get in the way.

The Sun in Gemini
The tug between opposite ideas and the need for answers are very strong influences while the Sun crosses Gemini. Getting things done may prove to be a bit more challenging than it is in other periods. Staying focused on goals and avoiding impulsive behavior could be difficult. The desire to lead is likely to be somewhat dull. Creativity and the pursuit of truth are at an apex. Enjoyable socializing and effective communication are positive byproducts of the Sun’s current position. A light-hearted spirit is pervasive.

Sun Sextile or Trine Saturn
Responsible actions based on a realistic view of circumstances and your own abilities.

Sun Sextile or Trine Uranus
Creative juices should be high at this time. Non traditional thinking is favored.

Moon In Taurus
This is a period in which an easy going attitude and moving through life at a steady pace is favored. The need for physical pleasure may be high at this time. If possible conflict should be avoided. Unyielding stubbornness can lead to missing some great opportunities.

Moon Conjunct Jupiter
This is a good time to make amends and forgive past offences.

Moon Sextile or Trine Neptune
Avoiding chaotic situations is critical to maintaining a healthy balance and moving forward towards one’s goals.

Moon Sextile or Trine Pluto
Passions are likely to run high during this aspect. Exploring the world’s mysteries may be a very attractive pursuit at this time.

Mercury In Taurus
Impulsive actions are not favored. Decision making is likely to be a slow process during this period. Change will meet with resistance. Tenacity and determination will be the factors that push many projects to completion.

Mercury Conjunct Venus
Many will find themselves easily moved by the arts. Their creative side is likely to be higher as well.

Mercury Conjunct Mars
Debates and analytical thinking are likely. The candid words of some may be so frank that they may be seen as offensive to those on the receiving end.

Venus In Taurus
Emotions run deep and desire to express one’s love will influence behavior. The need to express one’s love both physically and spiritually is heightened. Jealousy may be a problem if one allows their emotions to run wild. Music and art are likely to be very attractive at this time.

Venus Conjunct Mars
The need to express one’s emotions openly may be high. Responses such openness may not be positive.

Mars In Taurus
Material gains can be made at this time. Keep your strategies for success as simple and straight forward as possible. Tenacity will pay off. Failure may be a part of the process to attaining goals, and should not be allowed to dampen one’s spirit.

 

Jupiter In Aries
Self-reliance and optimism are favored at this time. Those who enjoy challenges and competition are favored. Adopting a never surrender attitude is a key component to attaining success.

Jupiter Sextile or Trine Neptune
Maintaining an open mind to all possibilities is favored during this aspect.

Saturn In Libra
Intimacy may be more of a chore than a pleasure. Some will find their progress towards strengthening intimate bonds and attaining goals muted by feelings of inadequacy.

Saturn Opposition or Square Uranus
Those who aren’t afraid of a little hard work are favored by this aspect. Remaining focused and taking things seriously are likely to produce substantial rewards. The ability to quickly change to stay atop rapidly evolving circumstances is a very valuable asset at this time.

Saturn Opposition or Square Pluto
This aspect may make it difficult to commit one’s self to anything beyond the moment at hand. However, those who do take on new goals will put the full force of their nature into achieving them.

Uranus In Aries
The astrological influence of Uranus is measured in increments of 7 years. What this means is that the effects of Uranus influence an entire generation. Day to day the Uranian influence may be imperceptible, but when the period is viewed as a whole the impact of Uranus is likely to be strikingly apparent.

Iconoclasm, independence and self-sufficiency are likely to be major themes during this period. Traditional values will be challenged. Those with a pioneering spirit will flourish.

Uranus Square Pluto
A mental restlessness and the need for complete personal freedom are possible influences of this aspect. In some the need for total autonomy may be so strong that they will challenge any attempt to subdue their independence.

Neptune In Pisces
Because Neptune takes approximately 14 years to move across Pisces its day to day influence may be imperceptible, but when the period is viewed as a whole the impact of Neptune in Pisces is likely to be strikingly apparent.

Gentleness, creativity, and the pursuit of spiritual truth are strong influences at this time. Many may find mysticism and unorthodox religions very attractive.

 

Pluto In Capricorn
Because Pluto takes approximately 15 years to move across Capricorn its day to day influence may be imperceptible, but when the period is viewed as a whole the impact of Pluto in Capricorn is likely to be strikingly apparent.

Strong economic gains can be made during this period. Pluto in Capricorn favors those who are able to make logical decisions and devise pragmatic solutions to the challenges before them.

Weekend Lunar Love Horoscopes for May 27 – 29

Weekend Love: Lunar Love

by Jeff Jawer

Be In the Moment

May 27 – 29

The weekend begins with a “live for the moment” attitude with the Moon speeding through spontaneous Aries on Friday and Saturday. This lunar placement provides a spark for those stuck in a dull relationship or people looking to meet someone new. The beauty of this restless Aries Moon is that it encourages us to think less and act more. Sure, there are some mistakes that can come from that kind of approach, however, when it comes to matters of the heart it may be better to play the game awkwardly than to sit on the fence and not do anything at all. There’s a sense of immediacy that helps us know what we want without having to over-analyze our intentions.

Don’t let doubt or despair get in the way on Friday as the Moon’s hard aspects with planetary tough guys Saturn and Pluto will be behind us by sundown. A lack of lunar connections makes Saturday a kind of free day when we are less bound by limitations and rules. Explore new people and places, or take a partner somewhere he or she has never been before. Instead of trying to control events, it’s helpful to follow our instincts and see where they lead us.

On Sunday morning, the Moon enters earthy Taurus, slowing down the emotional pace and inviting a bit of self-indulgence. Breakfast in bed or a sumptuous brunch fills the belly and warms the heart. There’s less need for explanations now as the Moon’s message is to simply enjoy the delights of the senses in all their delicious forms.

Weekend Lunar Love Horoscope for May 20 – 22

Weekend Love: Lunar Love

by Jeff Jawer

Get It All Out in the Open

May 20 – 22

Friday is unusually stressful because the Moon is in orderly Capricorn, which often adds a note of seriousness, while other planetary patterns are burning with intensity. Verbal Mercury hooks up in a conjunction with assertive Mars, heating up conversations and encouraging reckless behavior. Bold words can trigger new connections, inspire interest or provoke irritable responses. Fortunately, potent Pluto’s harmonious 120-degree trines to Mercury and Mars add depth, meaning and sensitivity that enable us to discuss difficult matters with delicacy and make powerful points with tact.

Loving Venus’ trine with Pluto on Saturday is also favorable to connecting at very deep places, enabling mature assessment of desires and relationships. However, there is a countering cooling trend that tends to put ideas ahead of emotions. The Sun enters breezy Gemini in the morning, which is great for chatting and flirting, but runs contrary to the hunger for more meaningful encounters symbolized by Venus trine Pluto. The Moon enters airy Aquarius at night, giving us another push toward intellectualism and objectivity and away from emotional attachments.

The experimental Aquarius Moon makes tricky 90-degree squares with Venus, Mars and Mercury in traditional Taurus on Sunday. These transits could signify a clash of values between those willing to take risks by following unfamiliar paths and those who want to play it safe by sticking with the status quo. On the positive side, however, this can provoke a re-evaluation of needs and expectations that clarifies issues. Differences might not be resolved but at least they’re finally out in the open, clearing the air so that common ground can eventually be found.
