The Sun in Leo
Courage and the force of will are primary influences while the Sun visits Leo. In some, a need for recognition may increase dramatically. An air of friendliness should be pervasive. Socializing and enjoying the good things in life are major themes during the Sun’s time in Leo. Those who are willing to assume leadership responsibilities and risks are likely to be richly rewarded during this period. Those with more aggressive personalities should be wary of becoming too domineering.

Sun Sextile or Trine Moon
Keeping a healthy balance between autonomy and the need for personal relationships is very important at this time. The degree of one’s success may be significantly increased by maintaining healthy relationships with family members and friends.

Sun Conjunct Venus
Optimism and kindness are likely to be strong. The desire to be liked by others may be quite powerful as well. Some will exude unusual amounts of charm at this time.

Sun Sextile or Trine Uranus

Moon In Gemini
Many may find themselves disconnected from their emotions at this time. For some, their emotions, passions may make them a little uncomfortable. The need for mental stimulation is likely high.

Moon Opposition or Square Mercury
This aspect favors furthering one’s education. A key to learning during this period is developing a talent to pull knowledge from others.

Moon Sextile or Trine Uranus
The need for personal freedom is likely to be high. Maintaining an upbeat attitude and sense of humor are essential to success.

Moon Opposition or Square Neptune
Generally it is best to avoid confrontation during this aspect. Many are likely to find the arts very attractive during this period. Exploring one’s dreams and fantasies may be used as a way to avoid confronting life’s crueler moments.
Mercury In Leo
Logical thinking and consistent behavior are favored. While there may be a pronounced laid-back attitude towards life, an underlying need to succeed and solid planning will power progress. Now is a good time to further one’s education.

Mercury Sextile or Trine Mars

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.

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.

General Daily Horoscopes for Monday, July 25, 2011

The determined Taurus Moon prompts us to stand firm in our convictions, but we may be growing tired of holding on to a particular point of view. It becomes nearly impossible to remain so stubborn once the Moon shifts into adaptable Gemini at 12:34 pm EDT. While this shift into the sign of curiosity increases our mental activity, helping us process more information, an erratic Mercury-Uranus aspect can shake things up and promote carelessness.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

At first it seems as if others are telling you to slow down today, but this familiar advice to an impulsive Aries isn’t about your speed. The emotional Moon’s entry into your interactive 3rd house encourages you to react instinctively, but your intuition can lead you astray now. Although you’re tempted to respond right away, it’s smarter to deliberate first. Waiting for a while before speaking your piece will make everyone happier and leave you without regret.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You don’t want to do anything until you’re ready to do it. If someone else attempts to change your timetable, you might overreact. Try softening your position today; it’s not helpful if you become so locked into your own schedule that you can’t respond rationally to an intriguing opportunity. Accepting an unexpected invitation can bring an exciting social interaction that improves your outlook on the day.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

The Moon’s entry into multifaceted Gemini can be quite confusing, especially as it raises your feelings closer to the surface. This normally wouldn’t be a problem, except it appears that you want contradictory things that might require you to proceed in two different directions. However, you might be more successful by postponing your decision until your mental clarity returns. If you can be comfortable with your ambivalence, then nothing needs to be changed for now.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Your anticipation of the future is likely more intense now than the events that actually follow. However, no matter how you look at it, you’re in for significant changes. Don’t panic; it may take time to put the big pieces in place. During your preparation process, it’s crucial to stay in the present moment and handle each situation as it arises, rather than worrying about what you might have to do tomorrow.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You are ready for a bit of fun now, even if you still have plenty of things to do. Keep in mind that it isn’t wise to avoid your responsibilities, for they will continue to multiply over the next few days. Grab a bit of enjoyment when you can and then get back to work. It’s all too easy to overextend your lunch break, so let the good times roll for a limited amount of time before returning for another round of serious business.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You have a lot to manage today as the Moon moves into your 10th House of Social Responsibility. You want to do things right, but you may get distracted by interesting conversations with unusual people. There’s nothing wrong with being curious as long as you’re willing to take the time to ask questions in a sensitive manner. However, don’t be overly concerned about what others think; just concentrate on your path to success.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

It’s hard to know if you should be jazzed about what’s coming next or concerned that you recently missed your chance. You can sense that big changes are lurking just out past your perceptual limits. Nevertheless, you cannot wrap your mind around this elusive situation today. Although you may need to face your anxiety, remaining flexible is more important than following a specific agenda.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

The Moon’s shift into your 8th House of Deep Sharing today gives you a chance to dig beneath the surface. However, the lightweight Gemini Moon could still leave you feeling slightly unsatisfied. Pushing too hard can set you up for disappointment now. While others may be able to match your passion, they won’t be able to sustain it. Be persistent; your patience will pay off when everyone else catches up with you in the days ahead.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You stand to learn something important about yourself when you actually take the time to listen. But you may grow bored of someone else’s stories today as the restless Gemini Moon rattles your 7th House of Relationships. It’s ironic that another person can get on your nerves, yet also offers such an important lesson. A quick escape is tempting now, but staying present in the dialogue can ultimately change your perspective for the better.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You are easily distracted today and may be unable to stay focused on your work. It’s hard to keep your thinking in perspective because your mind is jumping all over the place. Don’t try to suppress your runaway thoughts by force. A smarter strategy is to grant yourself permission to ride a carousel of ideas and feelings. Think of this as a mini-getaway; your job responsibilities will be patiently waiting for your return.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You could be asked to offer your impression about someone you know. But the level of energy it takes to engage in a discussion — even in just sharing your ideas — might be more than you want. Your avoidance tactics won’t likely be very effective now, so you may as well stop trying to put off the inevitable. A little procrastination is harmless, but too much can lead to unnecessary trouble. Ultimately, it’s best to just say what’s on your mind.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your thoughts are running astray today and you can frustrate yourself by thinking that you have the power to rein them in. However, it’s possible to calm your nerves by diverting your attention. Watch a movie or just relax to your favorite music. And remember, these distractions are not long-term solutions; they simply shift your focus for a while. Be patient; the nervous energy will run its course and settle down over the next few days.

Weekend Lunar Love Horoscope for July 22 – 24

Weekend Love: Lunar Love

by Jeff Jawer

Cozy Connections

July 22 – 24

There’s a mix of fiery adventurousness and earthy caution that affects your social life this weekend. This cosmic pattern emerges on Friday night when the Sun enters creatively courageous Leo while the Moon moseys into bucolic Taurus. Expect contrasting cues and fluctuating feelings as you shift between Leo’s desire to touch hearts and take chances in self-expression and Taurus’ preference to remain comfortable by staying grounded with predictable activities and people.

One thing these signs have in common is that they occupy the middle of their seasons, which makes them fixed signs, the stubborn ones that are the most resistant to change. Now that’s fine if you’re all set to cuddle up on the couch with your sweetie and not leave the house for two days. But if you’re in the real world dealing with real people, overcoming the childlike urge to stamp your feet and refusing to budge will go a long way to reducing conflict.

Still, everyone can enjoy the dramatic side of Leo by being more romantic than usual. Slowing down to communicate with greater focus and attention is one way to bring more passion to a relationship.

The Moon in comfort-seeking Taurus also favors a more easygoing pace as this sensual sign is made for enjoying life’s sweet delights. Good food, silky textures, soothing sounds and tender touch are especially alluring now. Simply spending time with someone you love outside in nature (or any comfortable setting) cultivates a cozy connection.

Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday, July 20th

The air is charged with the potential for sudden change when the Moon pops into spontaneous Aries at 12:25 pm EDT. This shift is our monthly wake-up call to start another journey around the zodiac, yet the Moon’s conjunction with shocking Uranus releases stored tension like a bolt of lightning. Additionally, the Moon’s stressful square to shadowy Pluto reminds us that keeping secrets can backfire, even if there is a strategic reason to do so.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

There is plenty of excitement today, yet you have no way of knowing what will happen next. Contrary to popular belief, you actually enjoy a bit of stability, but the routine can get to you, prompting you to crave dramatic change. However, you would prefer to be in control, but you might not be in charge now. Accept the challenge by letting go and trusting that someone else will step in and do the right thing.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Everyone seems to be acting strangely today as if they want more independence but are afraid to ask for it. You don’t want to prevent others from taking charge of their lives, but your insecurities might get in the way of your reaction. Don’t shy away from exploring your own fears now, for you may have lessons to learn about your irrational feelings. Taking the time to sort through your emotional process can help more than you think.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Unconventional ideas about your future can be upsetting to the status quo, yet you cannot stop thinking about them. You might even find that you enjoy the uncertainty as you eagerly plot your next move. However, it’s not beneficial to pick a path too quickly. In the meantime, research all the alternatives so you can make an educated choice. The more options you have now, the better the outcome will be when you’re finally required to choose your direction.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You feel a familiar discomfort if you respond impulsively now. Sometimes you miss a wonderful opportunity because you worry about making a wrong decision. Today, however, inaction is not your problem. You are excited and want to get started in a hurry. But if you act too soon, you may find yourself considering the roads not taken. It’s smarter to be cautious before you make your move; there’s not as much of a hurry as you might think.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You are apt to lose your temper today if you think that someone is preventing you from doing a job your way. Or, your rash behavior could provoke someone else’s anger. Either way, remember that extreme feelings stem from a deeper imbalance and you won’t solve anything by just suppressing your emotions. A real solution comes from analyzing your assumptions and unraveling your logic so you can deal with the source of your motivation in a calm and reasonable manner.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Others may seem totally irrational today and their unexpected behavior can be very unsettling. However, the Moon’s entry into confrontational Aries gives you permission to express your concerns, even if it precipitates an argument. But don’t spend too much time questioning yourself and sorting through all your options. Your most reliable strategy now is to act first and ask questions later.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Taking a break from your work is a healthy thing to do now, especially if you have something to show for your recent efforts. Instead of focusing on your responsibilities, pay more attention to your personal life. Whether you’re seeking out a new relationship or trying to revitalize an old one, don’t be afraid to express your feelings as directly and succinctly as you can. Your honesty and clarity may be enough to create the fireworks you crave.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You might be in for a surprise today as the fiery Aries Moon-Uranus conjunction zaps your 6th House of Work. You don’t need to look for trouble; it will probably find you. However, any problems that come to the surface now are just revealing something that you’ve been trying to avoid. Don’t worry if things get out of hand for a while; circumstances will become more supportive, even if it takes a day or two for your stress to settle down.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You don’t like receiving mixed messages because they make you feel as if you’re unable to respond properly. You enjoy the excitement of riding along on a rapidly moving current that’s carrying you to an unknown destination. However, your swift movement still can meet resistance today, which provokes you to push even harder. Unfortunately, you won’t be able to progress any faster, so avoid the temptation to rush the process. Ultimately, practicing patience is more productive now than forcing the issue.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

The hectic pace increases throughout the day, making it difficult for you to find respite today. Although you’re drawn toward the action, you may feel frustrated if you cannot get resolution on an important dilemma now. But don’t turn an insignificant question into one of ultimate concern just to relieve your boredom. You don’t need any more distractions, so just be quiet and listen to the wisdom of your inner voice.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You don’t want to waste your time while waiting around for someone else, but you may also have your own delays to manage today. You know something big is about to happen, yet you don’t seem to be able to push things along. Unfortunately, you can frustrate yourself if you don’t change your perspective. Settling back into your comfort zone for a while won’t be difficult if you remember that the real fun is still on the way.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Although the Moon leaves your sign midday, you still feel emotionally charged. Your morning moodiness can explode into a barrage of words if you think that your feelings aren’t being respected by your friends or co-workers. But you won’t reach satisfaction through dialogue now; talking about your concerns might only make matters worse. Instead of attempting to force change, focus on adjusting your own attitude. When your outlook improves, so will everything else.

General Weekly Love Horoscopes for the Week of July 18th

Mid-summer romance starts to heat up this weekend when the Sun enters heartfelt Leo. However, the bold and courageous style of this sign may be subdued by the emotional Moon’s move into placid and play-it-safe Taurus on Friday. One person is ready to gamble on love while the other might be resistant to taking chances, leading to a stubborn showdown. Flexibility is the key to avoiding relationship gridlock now.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

The Moon enters your sensual sign very late on Friday, which brings your emotions to the surface for everyone to see. While this sudden vulnerability attracts attention and can feed your desire for pleasure, it may also bring out the stubborn side of your personality. A little generosity on your part will go a long way to avoid conflict, demonstrating what an openhearted and loving person you really are when it counts the most.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

The mood-setting Moon dives into your secretive 12th house late on Friday, drawing you away from the spotlight as you seek some much-needed peace and quiet. This is a perfect time to enjoy a low-key weekend alone or with an undemanding partner. Getting away from it all and communing with nature will be more satisfying now than being the life of the party. Even a busy Gemini like you needs to recharge your battery now and then.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Spending some money on yourself is a good way to increase your confidence this weekend.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

The Moon’s move into your adventurous 9th house late on Friday expands your horizons in matters of the heart. Instead of sticking to familiar places, it’s time to seek out new people and explore places where nobody knows your name. But instead of feeling isolated in unknown territory, you will be more likely to speak and act freely without feeling the need to protect your old image. Stepping out of your comfort zone is exactly the right move this weekend.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

The Moon’s shift into your 8th House of Intimacy late on Friday night could deepen an important relationship. Being honest about your own needs is essential for success. If having different values and desires is a major issue, take your time to sort things out. It’s going to require a good deal of patience before a constructive compromise can be found.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Do your best to stay on a steady emotional course this weekend. The Moon is hanging out in easygoing Taurus where your ability to stay calm in a crisis is especially valuable. Taking care of business may not sound sexy, but this lunar transit is activating your 6th House of Work, triggering romantic feelings when you’re dealing with an otherwise unglamorous task. Love can find you in the most unexpected places.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

The Moon’s shift into pleasure-loving Taurus late on Friday night is an invitation to open your heart and take romance as a game. This delicious transit occurs in your 5th House of Play and Creativity, which helps you to relax and have fun. Acting without premeditation and going with the flow makes you more desirable to others. A little spontaneity adds a lot of joy to your life.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Entertaining at your place or returning to familiar territory can give you the security you need to feel comfortable this weekend. The Taurus Moon is traveling through your domestic 4th house to warm your heart, but could also give you less motivation to seek out new people or experiences. Lower the social pressure by keeping things as simple as possible now. There’s nothing wrong with returning to your roots when you are seeking emotional support.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

The Moon’s move into mellow Taurus and your 3rd House of Communication late on Friday is great for sweet and sensual conversations. Your tone of voice can be used as an instrument of romance this weekend. Express yourself in a tender and poetic way as your words seem to have a magical power now that turns a simple phrase into a seductive moment.

Weekend Lunar Love Horoscopes for July 15 – 17

Weekend Love: Lunar Love

by Jeff Jawer

Easy, Breezy

July 15 – 17

A Full Moon in hyper-responsible Capricorn late on Thursday night tends to place productivity above pleasure as you’re reminded of your worldly obligations. Happily, for lovers and those seeking romance, the Moon floats into airy Aquarius on Friday afternoon to blow away accumulated worries. This friendly sign sets the mood for the weekend, making it easy to connect with people as conversations flow freely.

A non-judgmental atmosphere opens minds to all different styles of dress and entertainment. A more tolerant environment is great for exploring unusual individuals and unfamiliar experiences. Experimenting within a current partnership or when seeking a new romance reduces the pressure and increases interest.

You are able to strike a healthy balance between your need for adventure and a more mature approach to your obligations as the Moon aligns favorably with reliable Saturn on Saturday morning and with passionate Mars that night. But all this activity occurs in air signs that are more comfortable with ideas than emotions.

People may appear to be open and accessible, which is true to a degree, but you could come away with the feeling that you haven�t connected in a deep way. If you try to crowd someone or feel like a person is invading your personal space, politely step away and explain your need for a little privacy.

The weekend works best for those who like romance on a non-committal level, as if it’s a chance encounter of two ships passing in the night. Deep feelings and intimate moments are still possible; just don’t expect most people to be in the mood to deal with the sticky details of complicated emotions.

Moon Signs

Just as the sun does, the moon travels through the constellations of stars that we call the zodiac; or astrological signs. Whereas the sun take a year to travel through them all, spending approximately thirty days in  each sign, the moon usually spends two and a half days in a sign, thus  passing through the whole zodiac in approximately one lunar month. Does the moon actually travel through these signs? No, of course not. It appears to do so from our vantage point on Earth, however.

Each sign has a different personality that affects the lunar (or solar) energy when the luminary is passing through it. For example, if your spell is to help you meet new people, then you might choose to cast it when the moon is in the sign of Libra, the sign associated with social issues.  The lunar energy you use to power your spell will be enhanced with Libran energy. Here’s a list of correspondences for the signs of the Zodiac. The correspondences are applicable to the moon, and of course to the sun as well:

  • Aries   energy is good for new beginnings and action

  • Taurus   energy is good for manifestation

  • Gemini   energy is excellent for communication and intellectual pursuits

  • Cancer   energy is associated with family and the home

  • Leo   energy is good for success

  • Virgo   energy is organized and practical

  • Libra   energy is terrific for social issues

  • Scorpio   energy is passionate and just

  • Sagittarius   energy is associated with study

  • Capricorn   energy is stable and good for business issues

  • Aquarius   energy is excellent for issues involving groups of people

  • Pisces energy is associated with mysticism and spiritual evolution

General Horoscopes for July 15

The ambitious Capricorn Full Moon at 2:39 am EDT reflects our need to succeed at whatever we choose to do. But its opposition to the yielding Cancer Sun reminds us that we don’t always have to be in charge. Our desire to gain control over irrational feelings may be temporarily satisfied when the Moon shifts into emotionally detached Aquarius at 4:29 pm. Quicksilver Mercury’s alignment with Uranus provokes change by adding instability to mix.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Even if you want to stay home, today’s Moon in your 10th House of Public Responsibility indicates that you have a lot happening at work. You might have agreed to one too many projects and now you have to show up, even if you don’t feel like it. Thankfully, a methodical approach and consistent effort positively impact your progress toward reaching your goals.

 

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You may be more determined than ever about taking an upcoming trip, even if your plans seem to be in jeopardy. Instead of just working harder, you will also need to think smarter. The Full Moon in your 9th House of Adventure is motivational, yet a breakthrough can’t occur if you’re unwilling to step outside of your safety zone and try something new. A calculated risk may be necessary to make something big happen.

 

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You might not want to reveal everything you know today, because withholding information could give you an advantage in dealing with others. Even if you try to talk your way out of a complex issue, you won’t be able to avoid some pretty tough questions now. But don’t expect any straightforward answers because there aren’t any. Nevertheless, if you want a relationship to work, you need to go deeper into your emotions. Shared intimacy is a reward that you must be willing to work for on a regular basis.

 

 

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Today’s Full Moon brightens your 7th House of Relationships, stirring up a bit of trouble or excitement. A current partnership could run into a wall that requires you to focus on your emotions and communicate what you’re feeling as clearly as you can. If there’s someone new in your life, resolving a touchy conflict now can set the foundation for what comes next. Either way, you’ll do better if you respond directly from your heart.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You need to maintain consistency in your daily routine, but it’s challenging if your heart isn’t connected to your actions today. You are only able to pretend for a while before your behavior has a negative impact on the day. Nevertheless, the practical Capricorn Full Moon illuminates your 6th House of Habits, telling you not to make any drastic changes to your regular schedule. Hold steady to your course; you’ll gain traction again soon enough.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

The Full Moon lights up your 5th House of Self-Expression today, prompting you to reveal your feelings rather than analyze them. But your key planet Mercury nervously aspects high-strung Uranus, making it tricky to find the right words. Instead of trying to respond spontaneously as you’re experiencing an emotion, let it pass. Share what’s going on only after you’ve had time to process what just happened.

 

 

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You’re eager to shine your light at work now that the radiant Sun is illuminating your 10th House of Career. However, the Full Moon occurs in your 4th House of Foundations, indicating that a situation at home needs your immediate attention, too. You might think that you can’t do everything, but your logic need not stop you from trying. Be innovative and look for solutions that are outside the box. Ultimately, you’re capable of a lot more than you currently believe.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Today’s sobering Capricorn Full Moon floods your 3rd House of Communication with data that might be overwhelming to integrate. The intensity has been building for a while, giving you the chance to prepare for the hectic pace of events. Don’t hesitate to lean on friends if you need support. Surprisingly, they will respond more positively than you expect. It may take a few days, but you’ll be able to get the rest you need.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You have one foot in the past and one in the future today. The restrictive Capricorn Full Moon falls in your 2nd House of Values, binding you to old beliefs and traditions. But trickster Mercury is buzzing in your 9th House of Expansion, tempting you to leave everything behind and make a mad dash forward. Unfortunately, your natural tendency to aim high means that you could overshoot your mark. Focus on reaching a conservative goal now, instead of falling short of an unrealistic one.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Someone with authority may require your support today. Thankfully, you’re sympathetic to other people’s pain as the Full Moon sensitizes your 1st House of Physicality. However, you might also try to hold someone else’s angst distant from your own feelings to protect your heart. Unfortunately, this defensive reaction can prevent you from being in touch with your emotions. Consciously listen with an open mind and then respond honestly from your heart.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Today’s serious Capricorn Full Moon occurs in your 12th House of Destiny, foretelling the enduring consequences that your current choices can have. However, it’s easy to place too much importance on making your decision now and not enough on following through with concrete action. Don’t be so quick to talk about your plans; instead of putting your energy into unnecessary chatter, let others find out about your new direction from what you do.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may think that others are trying to trick you into putting aside your personal agenda and following their plan as the Full Moon reflects the needs of your 11th House of Team Effort. Even if you’re an integral part of a workgroup, you might feel isolated if your ideas differ from everyone else’s. Nevertheless, it’s crucial to honor your instincts now and do what feels right. Don’t succumb to peer pressure just because you want to feel connected to others.

Daily Horoscopes for Thursday, July 14th

Today’s serious Capricorn Moon reminds us that giving emotions free rein can add complexity to what we must accomplish in the real world. Unfortunately, we can overcompensate by totally ignoring our feelings, possibly creating a situation where they later erupt with even greater intensity. A creative quintile between energetic Mars and electrical Uranus might act as a lightning rod, attracting a catalytic spark that releases the hidden tensions.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You might think that working extra hard today will enable you to do everything that is expected of you. However, a magical quintile between your key planet Mars and brilliant Uranus can create some distracting fireworks. An unexpected series of events could turn your day into an obstacle course. Nevertheless, don’t blame your shortfall on someone else; how you handle your responsibilities is still up to you.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You have a variety of alternatives to pick from today as you contemplate where you want to go. But your resources seem to be limited by the current circumstances, so you need to be creative enough to find the best route to your goals. Whether you lack money or time, don’t waste your energy by micromanaging the details of every contingency. Narrow the field of options before you start fine-tuning your plan.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

It’s becoming more apparent day by day that you can’t do everything you set your heart on, even though you’re ready to give it all you’ve got. Unfortunately, using brute force will only exhaust you, without guaranteeing that you’ll accomplish your goals. Instead, try a different tactic now by employing self-discipline. Reining in your activities will make you happier in the long run. Remember, a focused approach is better than a scattered one.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

It’s admirable to be sensitive to the needs of others, but it’s not healthy if your happiness depends on someone else’s feelings. The biggest problem with putting the determinant of your emotional well-being in anyone else’s hands is that you can’t be responsible for other people’s shifting moods. Fortunately, you can have positive impact on a situation by changing your own attitude. Remember, nurturing begins with taking care yourself.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You may sense the emotional tension increasing between you and your workmates. Unfortunately, you might not know how to react. It’s useless to try and change what you’re feeling when all you need to do is improve your outward behavior. Nevertheless, you will only fuel inner conflict today by making believe that everything is okay. Ultimately, total honesty is the wisest defense.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Thankfully, the intensity level at work seems to be lower now, yet you’re still not convinced that everything is really returning to normal. To the contrary, you might be wondering if anything in your life will ever be the same. Fortunately, you don’t need to take major action today. Just recognize that although this is a stressful period, you can still have a positive outlook about current events.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

The Moon’s visit to your 4th House of Family can bring extra parental responsibilities or other familial commitments, creating a little crisis as you attempt to squeeze everything into your schedule. It’s a real problem because there’s so much to do that you can’t possibly feel satisfied by the amount you manage to accomplish. Unfortunately, your anxiety probably won’t prevent you from trying the impossible. However, the sooner you simplify your environment, the more time you’ll have available for others.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You had a chance recently to share what’s on your mind with friends. Unfortunately, your window of opportunity is starting to close, so you must jump into the conversation as quickly as possible. The time for contemplation has passed. Whatever remains unsaid today may be banished into the shadows for an indeterminate amount of time.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You need to be serious now and expect others to respect your somber attitude. However, you still may be unable to concentrate on your current obligations. Good intentions may not take you as far as you want to go today; you have to walk your talk to be recognized. Coming up with all the right words is easy now; however, it’s quite another thing to put them into action.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You might claim that you aren’t trying to get ahead at work now, but something is changing and you would be wise to make the most of it. It’s tempting to ignore the current pressures, yet the instability may be just the catalyst you need. But it’s not just about grabbing an irresistible opportunity; the real message is about how your desires are awakening. Set new long-term goals that can ultimately fulfill your most basic needs.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You might try to float through the day by doing as little as possible, but you won’t likely get away with it. Even if you don’t do much, you may retrospectively wish that you worked harder in the morning. You won’t be able to accept a surprise invitation later in the day if you’re not finished with your duties. But if you already fulfilled your responsibilities, this afternoon can bring unexpected pleasure.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You can talk yourself out of your confidence as the day wears on, especially if you agreed to show up at a social event this evening. But retreating for a while enables you to emerge physically refreshed and emotionally recharged, ready for another round of battles to fight off unnecessary change. Don’t be afraid of expressing your own power now, even if you think that you should wait for a better time to act.
