Overview |
| Discussions of emotionally-laden issues are likely, but your vision may be a bit blurry. Nonetheless, Mercury Retrograde is a good time for rehashing and redefining past issues. Just make sure you're considering all angles. If you're in a serious relationship, you're probably thinking about areas that need improvement. As unique individuals, consider the fact you may need a unique relationship that may not fit any of the existing molds. Decide what your wants and needs really are and discuss them with an open mind and heart. Your energy is likely to be a bit scattered today so don't expect to accomplish much, especially since some unexpected event might disrupt your plans. | |
| 3-11-2006 | Relationship issues are still disrupting numerous lives and will continue to do so for a while longer. Take this time to really consider what you want, define your expectations and dare to be different. Consider what has worked and not worked in the past and remember the old adage "if you keep on doing what you've always done, you'll keep on getting what you've always got." Dreams and fantasies aren't all bad, they often give us the hope and escape we need. Watch out for possible unexpected behavior from those closest to you. Guard your own temper and be prepared to diffuse anger in those you encounter today as nerves are likely to be a bit on edge. |
| Have you noticed that everything from your computer to traffic lights is just not cooperating these days? Blame Mercury Retrograde and brace yourself for about two more weeks of these frustrations and delays. Today you may be more introspective than usual, considering your past experiences and where you are today. Remember you can't have a new beginning without an ending so take the appropriate action if improvement is needed. Just make sure your dreams are doable and not delusions. Once you figure that out, you should have the determination you need to make the change. | |
| Monday it is, but if things have seemed bogged down a bit at work lately, there should be some relief coming. That sometimes unfriendly dialog between your head and subconscious continues, some of it unearthing somewhat unpleasant memories. Nonetheless, these things are surfacing for a reason, i.e. for your consideration now that you are older and wiser so you can put them away permanently in a safe place. On the plus side, inspiration is high and your ability to express it in an artistic or otherwise constructive way should be high with the possible exception of Virgos and Geminis who are bogged down by Mercury Retrograde. Not to worry, in 12 days it will be over. | |
| Any imperfections in your life may seem particularly hurtful at this time and your desire to make changes will be strong. You probably will want to talk about these changes to the individuals involved, but make sure you don't put them on the defensive and listen to them with as much empathy as you expect them to listen to you. Remember that Mercury is retrograde, which hinders understanding, especially for Virgos and Geminis. Nonetheless, this is a good time to resolve old issues, so have at it. Realize, however, that some of your ideas may not be based too firmly in reality, but might be the result of all that action you've seen in your subconscious lately. Self-analysis can be a good thing, but don't expect the entire world to change to accommodate your new view of life. | |
| Mental activity is strong these days and sometimes you surprise even yourself with the ideas you're coming up with. You're also starting to get a bit of a grip on those relationship issues and while they're still not idyllic, you're finding something that just might work, one way or another. That full moon/eclipse yesterday in Virgo had quite a punch and ushered in some changes, some good, some not so good with work and health issues most affected. Life isn't always easy but it does have its moments. Cling to the good stuff and learn from the bad. That Pluto-Sun square combined with a retrograde Jupiter is still stirring up some old issues that cause you to question some of the paradigms you've lived by for a long time. You're older and wiser now, so question away. You just might like what you discover. | |
| That green triangle you see is a Grand Air Trine and it's going to make for some interesting conversations. Expect them to run the entire spectrum of emotions and probably be out of sync with reality, possibly in a big way. If you're a Gemini be particularly on guard since your ruling planet is retrograde so your communication skills are doubly impaired. Libra and Aquarius need to watch out, also, and above all just calm down. If your birthday is today, you're in for a year of deep introspection and increased understanding of what you're made of. Make the most of it. Surprising and possibly upsetting events are happening all over. Guard your temper, tongue and common sense and just walk away if you smell trouble. Male-female relationships are settling down a bit for those that got past the speed bumps of the last month or so. Make the most of that making-up phase then make sure your problems are really resolved, not just glossed over. | |
| Your head and heart are likely to be arguing with one another today. Listen to both sides and go with what feels the most comfortable. Surprises and the unexpected still abound with computers and traffic issues still trying our patience. Listen to soothing music whenever you can and don’t let those little things get under your skin. Introspection and possibly obsessions are vying for our attention and being quite successful along with power struggles with institutions and government in all forms. Watch the speed limit and review any legal documents carefully before signing that dotted line. Those two retrograde planets are getting a bit too friendly and will significantly confuse ethical and philosophical issues under discussion at this time. If you’re involved in any kind of legal issues be especially on the alert. You may have to dig quite deep to find the truth. | |
| Mars is still at it, stirring up trouble with his partner in mischief, Uranus. Expect the unexpected and keep both eyes open. This configuration is quite unfriendly as far as accidents are concerned, especially with electronic and mechanical devices in a snit. On the positive side, creative energy is strong so if you have a pet project that requires original thought, you should have plenty of inspiration.. The potential is out there for some major delusions and misunderstandings so listen carefully and read the fine print. Work is likely to be busy and folks more emotional than usual. If you must criticize, remember the old adage that you get more flies with honey than vinegar. | |
| Saturn has been pretty lonely the past few days and may be messing with your sense of responsibility. If your attitude in this area has significantly changed lately, if possible don’t make any landmark decisions until tomorrow. If you have to decide today, weigh it carefully and run it past someone you trust and respect first. If you’re fighting the urge to buy something big and expensive, don’t give in. Mercury retrograde is NOT the time to buy anything electronic or mechanical. If you absolutely MUST, make sure to read all directions carefully and get the extended warranty. The male-female thing is still somewhat friendly, but make sure you avoid promises you can’t keep and remember that more problems arise from unrealistic expectations than from knowing the truth. | |
| The Sun moves into Aries today, giving Rams an extra boost. There’s another one of those pretty, green triangles, a.k.a. Grand Trine. The planets involved don’t get along very well, however, and is likely to make for some very conflicting arguments with yourself or others that involve ego, emotions and your sense of responsibility. After all, it is the first day of spring and the urge to play is strong, especially with those male-female vibes being prodded along by that Mars-Venus trine. Fantasies are strong as well, so enjoy them but don’t mistake them for reality unless you want to pay a large price for them later. Creative and innovative ideas are hopping, too, but be sure to write them down before you forget all those glorious details that seem so obvious now. | |
| Mars is a busy little fellow today, with six different aspects. Mars is energy and aggression, plus yesterday the Sun moved into Aries, which is ruled by Mars. So, if you're a Ram or have an Aries Moon or Ascendant, anything going on astrologically will hit you harder than everyone else. We're still dealing with screwed-up communications and unexpected events, including traffic jams and psychotic computers, but this should improve after the 25th. Ideas are still coming at a fast pace, but make sure they're on solid ground ethically and don't compromise your standards. If you're not sure or have to make excuses for them, don't go there because they'll bite you later. We're still not understanding each other too well, especially at work, and it's becoming more and more annoying. Arguments are likely, but there will be no black and white answers, only more questions. Your responsibilities may seem particularly heavy right now. With all the disruptions going on you'll probably just want to spend a quiet evening with your sweetie and not discuss anything controversial. | |
| You may feel somewhat destabilized today, as if the ground is not quite as solid under your feet as usual. You're likely to be more self-critical , your head and your heart arguing with one another to no avail. Ideas and inspiration are still flowing, but don't forget that deception can happen to the best of us. Check all references, read the fine print and listen to your conscience. Whether it's work or relationships that are on your mind, there's not going to be one single solution that answers all the mail. You know that changes need to be made, but what they are continue to elude you. Those responsibilities may seem onerous at times, but try to recognize the rewards they bring. Nonetheless, your emotional health is important, too, so don't be a martyr. Seek for balance and be as objective as possible as you sort out the facts. Male-female relationships are running smoothly on the surface, but you can only sweep so much under the rug. Now is actually a pretty good time to rehash some of that old baggage. Just make sure you really have the courage to make the needed changes and don't make rash promises you can't keep. | |
| The Moon is doing its thing, chugging through the signs at its usual clip. If there is anything amiss at work or that doesn't meet your satisfaction it's likely to be even more troubling today. There are still too many things to argue about and patience is thin. Mercury will continue to misbehave for a few more days, then we should see an improvement in communications of all sorts. Subconscious issues are most likely also in a murky miasma that doesn't seem to be coming into focus. Don't give up, you'll figure it out, and will probably be surprised when you do. Mental activity generally is high and many great ideas are not being recognized as such. Those in authority have the advantage these days and bureaucratic wheels are turning at their usual glacial speed. This will improve a bit in just under two weeks when Saturn goes posigrade again. It's been Rx since November 23 and everyone, especially Capricorns, are more than ready for it to get back on track. | |
| If you've caught yourself daydreaming more than usual lately, you can blame it on Neptune and Venus getting friendly in the Natural 11th House. You might even have the energy and a bit of luck to pursue them, so keep your eyes and ears open for opportunities. It would do your heart good to get excited about something again, particularly if you've been in the slump so many have experienced lately. Nonetheless, you won't shirk your responsibilities and may actually find yourself meeting them a little easier than usual lately. You're still looking for answers in some areas, whether it's something you don't understand at work or school or possibly events going on around you. This is partly because all the information isn't available for one reason or another, plus Mercury Rx is skewing what little there is. Hang in there and expect to be surprised that you never thought of it that way when whatever it is finally comes to light. Spring is in the air with romantic thoughts often impinging on our common sense. Enjoy it, but recognize it for what it is and don't get pulled in too deep. | |
| If you haven't already done so, today would be a good day to get your taxes together. You should be able to concentrate on onerous tasks like that fairly well, thanks to Saturn and the Sun, and Mercury is posigrade again. Get that done early in the day so you can make some plans for tonight. Jupiter is definitely up to something, squaring a stellium comprising Venus, Neptune and the Moon over in Aquarius. Squares usually aren't considered good, but when it's Jupiter, it usually is. Anything that big boy touches seems to work quite nicely. All in all, it looks like some seriously romantic potential to me with Mars throwing additional energy that way. Mars Trine Venus usually bodes well for male-female relationships and Mercury is cooperating again so communications should improve. Don't let this one pass you by, grab your sweetie and enjoy a nice evening. | |
| I don't know about you, but I'm sure glad that Mercury Retrograde is over. All those electronic and mechanical glitches were no longer amusing. Romantic inclinations are still relatively strong but a surprise or two may be in the offing. Feelings and fantasies are in high gear and have been for a while but don't make any rash decisions yet. There's something stirring in your subconscious that's trying to tell you something so listen up. It will surprise you a bit when you figure it out, but don't worry because it should be something good. It's still a good time to work on tedious tasks that you absolutely have to do like your taxes. The universe is giving you a bit of help here and you'd better take advantage of it while it lasts since it will go away before the week is out. | |
| If you're an Aries and feeling a bit overwhelmed, it's because the Sun is in your sign plus your ruling planet, Mars, is actively engaged with numerous other planets scattered across the Zodiac. Thus, these aspects are hitting you a bit harder than the general population. Furthermore, the New Moon on Wednesday is in Aries, so expect a lively week. The cosmic climate is still working various issues in your subconscious. This will continue for a few more days but now that Mercury is posigrade again you may be able to move forward at last, especially with the Moon and Jupiter lending a hand. All sorts of ideas and scenarios at home and work are still circulating and a power struggle or confrontation is likely so be prepared with a well thought out position backed up with the facts. Get those taxes done this week while your powers of concentration are still high. If they're done, throw that energy into developing a budget or financial plan for the months ahead. | |
| Energy and imagination still rule in the relationship arena with positive vibes abounding, especially with that extra boost from Jupiter. There are a few undertones, however, of a power struggle so you may not be in synch with one another as much as it seems. Enjoy the rose garden but look out for those thorns that might be hidden amongst the leaves. You may find yourself remembering strange events from the past that bring new meaning with more mature understanding or you may discover something previously hidden that affects you deeply. Expect another week or so of a hectic pace with lots of little surprises or changes of direction. These may be more mental or emotional that physical, but are the universe's way of pushing you along in the right direction so pay attention. Once again, get those taxes done and check your investments for proper placement while the Sun and Saturn are in your favor. | |
| Today's New Moon is also an eclipse, which means themes initiated now will be in force until the next one on September 22. The general flavor of New Moons is new beginnings. The specific area of your life it will affect depends on which House it's in and any aspects it makes to your Chart. You might want to consider that your conversations with yourself have been deeper than usual lately and some adjustments are due. Your opinion of yourself needs to be based on your own reality, not someone else's, so feel free to dump some of that baggage and look forward instead of back. If you're in a relationship make sure that you're seeing things clearly and not setting yourself up to be used in a big way, either sexually or financially and also do a sanity check on your friends for sincerity and motives to the contrary. If there's something you've been wanting to do like pursue a new hobby or even start a family, now is a good time to get your plans in order. If you're involved in bureaucratic hassles of any kind think through your side of the story thoroughly then don't hesitate to "play politics" and call in favors from those that could help. | |
| If you have the urge to indulge in a spring cleaning frenzy, go for it, but while you're cleaning out those closets, consider what else you may need to eliminate from your life, whether it be credit card debt, a bad habit or perhaps a person or situation. This won't necessarily be easy, but your thinking is clearer than ever these days and you know what your head is trying to tell you. Something needs to be changed and there's no time like the present. Nonetheless, in spite of the fact your brain may be working, your heart is making a fair bit of noise these days as well. Those idealized views of what a relationship should be are well and good, but remember this is real life, not the movies or a romance novel so make sure you understand what's going on before doing something drastic. | |
| Friday is likely to be a miasma of feelings with your heart taking you in one direction and your head, perhaps vainly, trying to take you somewhere else. While you're trying to look at those idealistic aspirations without the rose-colored glasses and you know that if something seems too good to be true, it usually is, there's still this overwhelming emotion trying to make you believe that there really is an Easter Bunny afterall. Your sense of responsibility even seems to be temporarily suspended. You're dreamy and energized and ready to make some much-needed changes, yet for the life of you, you haven't got a clue what they are. Not to worry, it's Friday so just chill out with your friends or maybe your sweetie, rent a movie and let your subconscious do the work. All that crap going on elsewhere in your life isn't going anywhere until Monday at least. | |
| April Fool's Day and the Moon is messing with Pluto, though that blue line isn't necessary an ominous aspect. Rather it usually means having to defend something, which in this case could be making a case for something you want that someone or something doesn't want you to have. The Moon and Venus aren't on very good terms, either, and it looks like you need to be careful what you wish for, especially if it's something unconventional that could turn on you in some way. Mars is still luring Venus and Neptune into some kind of a partnership that may look pretty but be responsible and lookout for something lurking in the background that could bite you later. Things are still hopping with plans likely to be disrupted, but innovation is high and the ability to capture and communicate it effectively in good shape. | |
| Delusions of grandeur, especially on the relationship scene, are still likely and that person you're ogling in typical spring fever fashion probably appears to be a whole lot better than he/she actually is. There could be some real surprises at the emotional level so be cautious and try to summon all the common sense you can. That will most likely be easier said than done, however, since Saturn is out there in la-la land, minding its own business, albeit in disgust, while all this foolishness is going on. Bear in mind that your judgment is probably quite impaired and what all this adds up to is you might not only hate yourself in the morning but for a long time after that if you're not careful. In other words, make sure you don't issue any "user's licenses" and open yourself up to being taken advantage of in a big way. | |
| Pluto is messing with the Moon, Mars and Venus, which should stimulate some deep soul-searching about what you're looking for in a relationship. Whatever your friends are telling you is probably not entirely accurate, however, since they don't have all the facts. The general feeling between the two of you is likely to be positive, but try to use your head as well as your heart. Conversations are favored, though, so you should be able to have some fruitful discussions that may actually change how you feel about something which will make a big difference in your life. Saturn is still being a loner, however, so its energy is not being channeled through these other influences. This "missing link" could cause you to discount some of the basics of responsibility and not give a flip about what others think, which may not be a good thing, so don't make any big decisions just yet. | |
| Saturn has been stationing for the past several days, preparing to go posigrade again. It's been retrograde since November, which is typical. That ringed giant spends 4-5 months/yr in that condition, stifling progress, causing general delays and possibly causing problems with authorities of some sort depending on where and how it's aspecting your Natal and Progressed charts. The fact it hasn't been aspecting anything lately is probably a good thing, except it will still be felt according to its house placement in your personal chart. The Sun is the loner now, which could cause a bit of confusion, particularly for Aries. Surprises and relationships are still in the news, so to speak, with the possibility of deception strong, though this could easily relate to your circle of friends or work. You're still mulling over lots of things but don't expect to find many answers today. | |
| Wednesday's transits look like a game of Alien Invaders, if you're old enough to remember back that far. The Moon is really after some action so expect a rather emotional day, perhaps relating to family issues. You may also encounter some head-heart conflicts. The time may have come to defend some of those conclusions you've reached lately, relative to what you're going to do with your life and whether or not they're realistic. Remember it's better to reach for the stars and drag your feet in the treetops than to reach for the treetops and drag your feet in the mud. As far as realism is concerned, everyone needs a dream and if we let them die part of us goes with them. Stick to your guns and do what you need to do. Tell 'em I said so. | |
| If you're a Pisces you've probably been having some pretty interesting days lately. Venus just moved into your sign, which will give you even more charm to deal with everything, which is probably a lot, most of it unexpected. Misunderstandings are still afoot for just about everyone, particularly related to people at work. Finding accurate information just isn't happening and it seems like everyone has an entirely different story. With the Moon getting cozy with Saturn, you are likely to have some strong feelings about your responsibilities, especially if you're an Aquarius, Taurus, Leo or Scorpio. There are some definite power plays going on so figure out how they affect you and what your best course of action is. | |
| That near-perfect opposition between Pluto and Mars coupled with the other aspects is likely to trigger a host of things. Some serious mental/ philosophical discussions are possible that could tie into a power play at work, most likely by someone who has a lot of confidence in their ideas. Your reaction to all this will probably be a bit emotional, especially if you have to defend your own turf. If you're traveling, be extra careful. Make sure your car is in good repair and you have accurate directions; for air travel, get to the airport plenty early, make sure you have proper ID and the right amount of luggage. If you're involved in some kind of legal or institutional issue, be prepared for some surprises. Looks like a pretty interesting day. | |
| Today should be another interesting day with all the planetary action going on and caution should still prevail. If there's something out there that you really, really want, you need to come up with some pretty strong rationale before you put out the money, or you'll be sorry later. Your sense of responsibility is arguing with your psyche, which is only looking for some reassurance that dreams do come true. Big surprises are still occurring, not all of them good, but all are part of life. There is still a lot of mental energy stirring things up, especially for Gemini's born after June 15. The recurring theme persists to take a long, hard look at yourself and decide if you like what you see. If you're still not sure what you want out of life, find yourself a quiet corner sometime and write your own obituary. What it says will probably surprise you. | |
| The Moon is still throwing some emotional energy at all those changes and surprises we've been seeing lately, some of which have been pretty big. It's also likely that you've been more emotionally involved than usual lately with some of your responsibilities and you may have to justify some of your priorities, to yourself if no one else. Besides that, that Mars-Pluto duel in progress is less than friendly. Think about it, the God of War and the God of the Underworld facing off. That can spell anything from paying some serious consequences for past misdeeds to major disruptions in travel itineraries. When these two planets get together it's seldom good. Communications will be colored with a bit more cynicism than usual also. All of this will probably make the imperfections in the world seem a bit heavier than usual and you may find yourself daydreaming of a much more pleasant existence. | |
| That big red triangle is called a T-square and is generally not particularly good since all the aspects are negative. Yesterday we had the God of War and the God of the Underworld in a duel, which has now been joined by Mercury, which presides over communications of all sorts. With all the continued changes and unexpected events going on, if you have a temper you will need to keep close guard on it for the next few days. Emotions are still in high gear and there is a lot of confusion on top of it, all of which can easily combine to a major brawl of one sort or another. Be extra careful driving, i.e., don't incite anyone to road rage no matter how much they deserve that gesture, and if you're trying to get across an idea that is controversial in any way, expect some serious opposition. This will definitely be a Monday with a capital "M". | |
| Even if you really don't have a clue how to read a transit chart, if you look at today's, with that big, red square with an "X" in the middle, it's gotta be intuitively obviously that it's not particularly good. That combination of aspects is called a Grand Cross and whether you look at it as two back-to-back T-Squares or two oppositions and four squares, there simply ain't much to be happy about. Fortunately, since one of the components is the Moon, it will move out quickly. There are a few positive elements there, for example the investment scene doesn't look bad and your idealistic musings are probably still cranking away. On the somewhat neutral side, your need to do something more satisfying is still sparring with your sense of responsibility. But back to all that red, expect your communications to be aggressive, emotional, misunderstood and possibly somewhat cynical so make every effort to stay cool and be a peacemaker if at all possible. | |
| Whew! At least that Grand Cross has moved on, making that T-Square a little easier to deal with. Communications, particularly those that have anything to do with aggressive, new ideas or power trips, will still be somewhat hostile. Accidents are also very likely so keep that situational awareness high. You will probably be thinking a lot about your relationships and any changes that need to be made. Now is a good time to move forward with changes of a positive nature, but anything that involves controversy or is not viewed favorably by the other party is likely to trigger a rather heated and emotional confrontation. Sometimes things have to get worse before they get better, but before you deliberately provoke an argument, make sure you know what you really want. | |
| Full Moon today. To see what specific affect it has for your sign, see our Monthly Horoscope. Remember that a Full Moon often marks the end of something so use it to your advantage. That Pluto-Mars-Mercury T-Square is still in effect so if you've been barking at people or they've been barking at you, that is probably why. The climate among the folks you hang with has been a bit emotional and you probably wish that they'd just learn to get along. Facing reality is often easier said than done, but facing the truth about a situation will usually bring less pain in the long run than wishful thinking based on fantasy. Now is a good time to get to the bottom of a situation you've been wondering about and find out what's really going on and how you feel about it once and for all. | |
| You're probably feeling more affectionate today than you have in a while but various responsibilities will probably get in the way of expressing them as you'd like. That nasty T-square is still messing with our ability to communicate properly, but since Mars changed signs into Cancer, those stubborn undertones should diminish a bit and the focus shift from material things to people issues. If you really put your mind to it you should be able to identify what the real problem is and what you need to do to mitigate it. Try not to be too idealistic, no matter how good it may sound, because if the solution is not based on a solid foundation of practicality then the problem will not go away but will simply come back later in a different form. | |
| You're probably tired of everyone being so grumpy and all the whining and complaining going on to say nothing of an occasional argument or worse. The offending T-Square is a persistent little beggar, but it's gradually getting out of orb and will be gone in a few more days. All of this dissatisfaction has probably motivated you to reassess your life and look at making some changes, possibly big ones like going back to school, legal action of one kind or another or maybe moving far, far away. Change is all well and good and maybe it's exactly what you need to do, but make sure you look at it from all angles and consider other solutions before doing something rash. Your sense of responsibility might be a bit ungrounded with Saturn out there all alone, so just remember you have bills to pay. | |
| Happy Easter from the cosmos as after all the red we've seen the last week or so, we're finally seeing some green that looks pretty inviting! That big, green triangle is a Grand Fire Trine and is likely to provide a nice little energy boost we can all use. Saturn could put a bit of a damper on it, but hopefully it will just infuse a bit of responsibility in there so you won't do anything foolish since the other components are the emotion-ridden Moon and com-giant, Mercury. This combo probably spells a rather enthusiastic and realistic plan you feel good about after all your ruminating the past few weeks. You'll have to present your case convincingly to the relevant parties, so make sure you've got your facts straight. Nonetheless, the aspects are in favor of some positive changes and your confidence should be strong enough to make it so. | |
| I don't know about you, but I'm sure ready for that Mars/Pluto/ Mercury crap to go away. All that soul searching has been painful but any kind of surgery usually is. Bad news of one kind or another has been a little too pervasive for weeks, so let's hope those Trines do us some good. That T-Square has been particularly bad because we're less likely to filter those caustic thoughts to a more tactful form before they spill out of our mouths to bite us later in the butt. That Venus/Uranus conjunction just keeps stirring the pot with one surprise after another, most of them unpleasant. Jupiter is trying to give them a lucky spin, but it IS retrograde plus the Moon is doing everything it can to provoke a strong emotional reaction. As if that's not enough, don't take anyone's advice about financial matters right now without being absolutely sure it's the right thing to do. At least you know it's the planets and not you.... | |
| At least the T-square is gone, but Mars and Pluto are still at it and are now joined by the Moon, collectively exhuming emotional baggage for everyone. About all you can do is brace yourself or if you must, go outside and flag your nose at the heavens. There may be some lucky or seemingly pleasant changes, but they're likely to not be what they seem so don't get too excited. You may get some well-deserved recognition at work or come up with some creative solutions that you'll actually be able to sell to management. However, there are likely to be some unpleasant conversations on the homefront unless you can harness that energy in a constructive way. It might be a good time to finish that spring cleaning or make a trip to Home Depot for some plants and flowers. | |
| Things are looking a bit better, but delusions are still possible along with more surprises that cause you to think real hard about life, finances and what your philosophy of life really is. Mars is still aggravating Mercury, meaning you'll have to watch what you say so that you're not more aggressive and possibly tactless than necessary. I haven't said too much about Pluto and Jupiter being retrograde since they're not quite as obvious as Mercury in that state, but they still have their effect. When planets are retrograde it's time to think about things. Jupiter wants you to think about how much you're willing to sacrifice for what you want and Pluto is giving you pause relative to your home life and place in society. Just make sure you take off those rose colored glasses and look real hard before making any big decisions. | |
| The Sun moves into Taurus today, so all that Aries energy will diminish. If you have a sudden urge to work on your yard, even if it's no more than putting a few potted plants on your windowsill, that is probably why. At long last that Pluto-Mars opposition is out of orb. This in itself is cause for celebration. Those two always spell trouble when they get together and there has certainly been enough of it the past month or more. Mars is still in cahoots with Mercury, making our communications energetic on the positive side and aggressive on the negative side, but Saturn has jumped in and will lend a bit more restraint and common sense. Dealing with personal baggage is still an issue with lots of surprises in what we're finding, but this type of thing is essential to the maturity process and self-improvement, like it or not. | |
| You'll probably feel a bit pensive and under the weather today wondering yet again if your life is on track. There are opportunities for change all around, but as good as they may appear remember the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. Make sure you're getting all the facts, listen to your instincts and don't take what your friends say carte blanche. Authority figures might give you a bit of trouble or other responsibilities may get in the way of what you'd really like to do. So what's new, right? Discussions of a personal nature are likely to go well with friends, giving you a chance to gripe and offload some of that cumulative stress. Just make sure that any discontent at home is expressed with as much tact and diplomacy as possible or you’re likely to have a rather unpleasant day. | |
| Things are looking better all the time, though there is still plenty of change going on. In most cases it will be good, or ultimately turn out that way if handled properly. Daydreaming about what you'd really like your life to be like , particularly as far as your social life is concerned, may be on your mind, but those responsibilities just seem to keep getting in the way. If you have the irresistible urge to tell someone off, especially your boss or that cop that pulled you over for an expired registration sticker, make sure you show proper respect for their authority even if their premise is lame or you could be rather unhappy with the result. If you must protest, take it through the proper channels and you'll fare much better in the long run. | |
| Jupiter and Mars are busy today but at least the prevailing color isn't red. Positive changes or happy surprises (for a change) are likely and some of that self-discovery we've all been going through lately might actually be good. Fixing up the house whether it's delayed spring cleaning or yard work will give you a good sense of satisfaction, so get to it now when the aspects are favorable and before it gets too hot. Communications are still a bit testy so keep that tact in place, but that should improve soon. Delusions are still a bit troublesome, particularly in the investment area, so read that prospectus carefully before giving anyone your life savings. Along similar lines, consider any large purchases carefully. Make sure you can really afford it and that it's a need, not a want, or it might bite you later. | |
| Some of that baggage may be back for a short visit today, but it IS Monday so take it for what it's worth. Maybe you should have gone into business for yourself a decade ago, but maybe it's still not too late. You ain't dead yet, right? Yeah, I know, you have bills to pay, but where there's a will there's a way. The time will pass anyway and it's up to you what you do between now and then. There is no time like the present to commit to positive change. Our little communication giant, Mercury, is free-floating today, which could make your efforts to communicate a bit distracted as well, so make sure you listen carefully and read the fine print on anything important. Your energy level should be reasonably high today so use it wisely. | |
| Change, change, change. Has the last month been a trip or what? Those delusions, some of them big ones, persist, so don't let your guard down just yet. You may have to defend some of your recent revelations such as your plan for financial independence and world domination, but you can do it! You're a responsible person and you'll meet your obligations, even if they conflict with what you REALLY want to do. Today is a good day to work around the house or yard to use some of that excess energy in a productive way. There is no better time to think than when you're puttering, so go for it and pay attention. You really do have the right to be happy but no one can make it so other than you. Beam me up, Scotty just ain't reality. | |
| If you've been having money problems lately maybe it's time to admit that it's not your income but your outgo that's the problem. See where you can cut back and do the math. That $3/day you spend on foo-foo coffee could be used to bring down those credit card balances a lot quicker. Your intuition is likely to be strong today so be sure to use it, particularly relative to any get-rich-quick schemes. You still are fairly ambitious around the house, but your kids may be really demonstrating in spades why some animals eat their young. Your creativity might not be doing too well these days and your love life probably isn't too great, either. You can blame the planets all you want but make sure you understand where your choices really fit in. | |
| New Moon today. That usually means a new beginning, which we can all use from time to time. Responsibilities versus pleasures are still duking it out yet there is a part of us that wants to be happy and is willing to work for it. We're more sure of ourselves now that we're willing to stand up for our rights, but a bit of doubt remains whether we really have our ducks in a row or not. Positive change begins in our mind and it's finally starting to sink in. There still might be a few misconceptions out there that are probably associated with "group think" and some of the people around us, but it might finally be time to move on. Just be sure you don't throw out the baby with the bathwater. A positive change doesn't always mean clearing the slate, just erasing parts here and there. | |
| There's another one of those dreaded T-squares but fortunately one element is the Moon which will quickly move on. Until it does expect to do some daydreaming of a much more idyllic environment than you now enjoy. Question is what does it take to make it reality? That Pluto-Venus thing is getting really old and it's definitely not helping relationships. Pluto retrograde is similar to a backhoe excavating your past and rather than seeing things through rose colored glasses it's more like night vision goggles with the scenery about as pleasing as digging up a graveyard. Don't be too hard on yourself, however, or too quick to turn your back on everything you've worked so hard to achieve. Pick through the rubble a bit before trashing everything or you may find you got rid of the one thing worth keeping. | |
| Relationship challenges and disappointments are still in the air, but positive change on the homefront is, also. Change always starts deep inside us so you may need to look for it, but it's there. Sometimes responsibilities can seem a bit onerous, but the real trick is to keep them in proper perspective. If we did nothing but play all the time we'd get pretty bored. The Sun and Jupiter are looking each other square in the eye which could mean an opportunity is looking right at you. Take a good hard look and see what's out there. There's a message there for you somewhere, even if it's your subconscious telling you to listen to that bit of inspiration you keep telling to shut up. | |
| That's a pretty busy looking chart but that big green triangle a.k,a. Grand Water Trine looks like a good thing to me. There's actually more green out there than red for a change, so maybe things are about to improve! Woo hoo! Looks to me like Mars/ Uranus/ Jupiter are joining forces to precipitate a positive change. The energy is there (Mars), the growth is there (Jupiter), the motivation is there (Uranus). Other than that, we also have vision (Neptune), introspection (Pluto), and the emotional need (Moon) to move on. So what are you waiting for? Saturn even had the good grace to step out of the way so you wouldn't get all tangled up in your obligations when you make the decision that could change your life for the better once and for all. So what are you waiting for dumbass? | |
| I guess it wouldn't be a Monday if there weren't something out there that sucked. Thus, the T-Square is back, but again involving the Moon so it will be of short duration. As you can probably guess, it's messing with relationships, which, by the way, includes ALL relationships, not just the romantic kind. So work or family could be targets as well, though with Venus involved it implies people you care about. Deep and probing conversation is likely and you may find out something you didn't know before. It's likely to have an emotional impact, but the aspects are positive so hopefully it will make you feel better. Sometimes our imagination is our own worst enemy and is always a larger vehicle of deception than truth. That positive change Grand Water Trine is still there, which is a good thing. Change takes energy, emotion and an opportunity and it looks like it's all there. | |
| What we have today is rather nice for a change. Jupiter is still looking the Sun square in the eye, which could mean a big opportunity is still under your nose in case you haven't recognized it yet. The Grand Water Trine is still there which hopefully means those changes are coming into your life. Another nice aspect out there today is that little green triangle which is called a Sextile Pattern. It's not as strong at the Grand Trine but nice nonetheless, particularly since the two of them have formed a kite. This will give those changes even more focus and be especially strong if your birthday occurs roughly between April 29 - May 5. Saturn is still minding his own business, which ain't a bad thing. Maybe things are getting better after all. | |
| That nice Grand Water Trine is still there as well as the Sextile Pattern that we talked about yesterday. The Moon, Venus and Saturn are having a friendly conversation that will probably bring about a variety of feelings related to the people in your life you care most about and how they fit into your responsibilities. However, if you try to talk these out you're likely to not be able to make the other person understand what you're trying to say. Venus and Pluto are squared off which could also throw a speed bump or two as you see a few things you missed before and try to justify them, either to yourself or others. Neptune is minding his own business, which should help minimize illusions. Overall it looks like a pretty decent day. | |
| Now that is what I call a really nice looking chart. The only red is that Sun-Jupiter opposition, which is more than likely something good since our Jovian friend is usually a benefic planet regardless of aspect. Those opportunities for change should have shown themselves by now so you need to be thinking about them real hard. Pluto and Mercury are in cahoots, which should help you get in touch with your subconscious while the Moon and Saturn are neck in neck, helping put those responsibilities in the proper perspective. Today's transits are really quite nice and you need to apply them the best you can. But being a Capricorn, I need to tell you the bad news, i.e., they may be throwing aspects to your own Natal or Progressed Chart that are not quite as friendly so if your day is less than stellar it doesn't mean that the planets lied. | |
| If you look closely you'll see that all that nice green is still there but the red is back from its brief holiday and ready to mess with you. Neptune and the Moon are giving each other the eye but what these two usually stir up is not necessarily reality so take it with a very large grain of salt. This is exacerbated by the fact that Neptune is also square the Sun. What this means to you is to not get your panties in a wad over events that really aren't as bad as they may seem. Remember these are global transits that affect everyone, so if you overreact you can bet your sweet bippy that the other party will reciprocate with an equal and opposite reaction you may not like. In plain English, the overall theme for today is for folks to react emotionally to issues that they're not seeing clearly. These are likely to involve either a close family member or significant other, based on the Natural 5th House placement of the Moon. So turn on your logic radar and use it. | |
| It's Saturday at last and more than likely you don't have as much energy as you'd hoped for today. You won't feel like tackling any Herculean projects but puttering around the house is likely to make you feel good, especially if you take on some of those little repairs or improvements you've been putting off. Not seeing things entirely as they really are is still likely but at least Pluto is taking a bit of a vacation so you shouldn't be quite as pessimistic. That Grand Water Trine is in very tight aspect today so those changes you've been considering are likely to be vying for your attention. Keep your eyes open because the Universe has a way of lighting the path for you if you just pay attention. If you haven't done so for a while, call your mother. If you can't, at least think about some of the lessons she taught you. | |
| If you've been paying attention at all to that Grand Trine you'll notice that the Sextile Pattern is now on another side. The Moon is at the center of a lot of activity and really sending out energy in numerous directions. You may find that you are more emotionally attached to something than you thought, which makes it even harder to change those things you've been thinking about the last month or so. Your conversations with yourself and others are likely to be on the serious side but your head and heart are trying to converge on a decision. Your instincts aren't quite as vocal as you'd like, but at least Pluto is still minding his own business and not playing devil's advocate. When all else fails make a balance sheet of the pros and cons. Include the emotional impact, too. (That means you, Earth Signs!) | |
| If there's such a thing as a perfect world, it sure as hell wouldn't include Mondays. All our planetary friends are in for a piece of the action today. That inner restlessness is still there, tempting us to break away but before we do so entirely we need to take off those Neptune induced rose-colored glasses. Who and what are you and what is your place in the universe, anyway? Retrograde Pluto is homing in on your emotions and causing you to question just about everything these days from your political ideologies to your career choices to your partner or lack thereof to your need to get going on a fitness regime. More than likely you know someone who's graduating these days. What do you need to graduate from? Think about it. | |
| Here's another transit chart that looks like a game of alien invaders, though Pluto seems to have dropped out again, which is not necessarily a bad thing. Jupiter seems to be at the center of things today and you're likely to be feeling your oats and have no problem expressing yourself regarding your feelings and wants. You really want to do the right thing, yet you're less than enchanted with the self-sacrifice required. Neptune is throwing a bit of idealism your way, which is not making it any easier to see reality. The Moon is in the natural 7th House of relationships directly Opposite Venus and tied into Com-giant, Mercury, as well, which should make for some interesting discussions relative to what makes a relationship worth it and what tips the balance the other way. | |
| Pluto is still a not-so-innocent bystander while Neptune couples with the Moon and Sun, making for some energetic defense of your needs and beliefs of an emotional nature. If you won't look out for yourself no one else will, yet you're likely to be just a tad egocentric. Before you chuck too many boulders at the people in your life, whether at home or the workplace, consider that maybe your demands are a little bit excessive. If you have a creative streak, it's most likely blossoming right now and your determination to see it through to completion is relatively high. Remember that creativity takes many forms but ultimately relates to self-expression, which is required for a healthy psyche. Before you blast those around you with a 20 kiloton nuclear bomb relative to what you "need", take some time off for renewal via creative expression. You may not need as much from others as you thought. | |
| Jupiter is still where the action is with Uranus a close second. Emotions and energy are still in high gear with most of it centered on your private life. If there's anything amiss in that area your stress level has risen accordingly. With Pluto still minding his own business you're more likely to take action than just obsess on it. This is all well and good, but Neptune could throw a few considerations your way you don't want to hear, most likely related to a perfect world you know does not exist. You may feel taken advantage of and like no one gives a rodent's derriere about your side of the story. While that's probably not entirely true, everyone is a little defensive these days and likely to be more egocentric than usual. | |
| Whoa! If you think you're seeing double, you're not alone. The Moon and Jupiter are dancing today and really kicking up that Grand Water Trine a notch. They look pretty outside as well, if you'd like to take a look. Water signs are already emotional enough but throw the Moon into that mix and you have some serious emotional involvement. If you haven't already taken the hint of what you need to be doing, this ought to give you that final kick in the buttocks. Note the sextile pattern is back between Uranus (change/surprise events), Mercury (communications), and Mars (energy/aggression). This with the double Moon-Jupiter whammy ought to get you off dead center once and for all. Ego, emotion, energy and a tad of responsibility toward your loved ones--do the math. Pluto is still sitting on the sidelines which is good, but look out for that Neptune-Sun-Moon T-Square that could be a bit too idealistic for this world. As Obi Wan Kenobi would say, Listen to your feelings..... | |
| It's Full Moon time again and there's no telling what this one will bring. What it does for you will depend largely on which House Scorpio represents on your chart. The Grand Trine is still there, but just about ready to slip away so if you haven't made your decision yet the impetus may fade with it though that sextile pattern created by Mars/Mercury/Uranus may give you the final nudge you need. That Sun/Moon/Neptune T-Square could be giving you ideas about buying something you've dreamed about for a long time. Before you indulge yourself, make sure you can afford it and that it's not "comfort" buying. Six months down the road those big fat payments may be a major pain. Saturn is taking a break which will make it all the easier to make a frivolous purchase, so if you're broke already, stay home and don't tempt yourself into a purchase that could bite you later. | |
|
5-14-2006 Sunday |
Our Grand Trine is gone and now we have a disorganized mess. Actually, the only thing that dropped out was the energy boost, but it could make it harder to implement whatever decision you've been struggling with the past month or so. All those blue lines are quincunx aspects that usually mean you have to defend something. There are a bunch of them with the Sun, Neptune, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Pluto involved. If any of those are your ruling planet you'll feel the impact via a bit of resistance, either within or without. In a nutshell, you're still doing some soul searching, are ready for some changes, have the energy to make it so and whatever decision you're working on affects both your work/career and personal life. Saturn is still on holiday, which could result in throwing caution to the wind, but this is not always a bad thing. |
|
5-15-2006 Monday |
There's a lot of black and blue out there, meaning you're going to really have to come up with some good rationale for what you want to do. The convincing may be for yourself or others, but you're going to feel that Pluto-Moon conjunction, particularly if you're a Scorpio or Cancer. With both of them in Sagittarius, you're likely to be doing some serious soul-searching regarding whether what you want and feel is really the right thing to do. Pluto is retrograde which means it's time to think and plan. Neptune is square both Mercury and the Sun, you may have one foot in a dream world, especially with Saturn still on holiday. Jupiter is also retrograde, so remember that those thoughts of change are still at the consideration stage versus taking action. |
|
5-16-2006 Tuesday |
If I were to summarize what's out there today in a single word it would probably be justification. Most likely there's something you want to change or do but you just can't seem to see the way to get there. Maybe there's something standing in the way that you can't in good conscience cast aside. Maybe you're beating yourself up and thinking you don't deserve it. Maybe you're being unrealistic. Maybe there's someone getting in your face who really doesn't have your best interests at heart telling you to forget it. Maybe you just can't express the entire concept in a way others can understand. Whatever it may be holding you back, Uranus is still hooked up with Jupiter, which is going to make you view the status quo with a critical eye. And the only one who can change it is you. |
|
5-17-2006 Wednesday |
The Sun and Mercury are all lovey-dovey, making you want to be heard, with a bit of extra incentive coming from the Moon and Pluto. None of the aspects are negative, but there will be a significant emotional element involved as well as some old ideals that you feel strongly about but others tend to discount. Neptune is probably feeding your opinions an extra shot of idealism that you are likely to express with a bit more energy and emotion than necessary. Homefront discussion with your significant other may be a little tense and common sense may not be all that common with Saturn still off in la-la land. Those Big Change/Surprise vibes are still there but could relate more to changes within yourself versus anything material. On the other hand, Jupiter in the Natural 8th House isn't really a bad thing. I'm not saying you might win the lotto, but if that aspect hit your natal chart just right, you never know. |
|
5-18-2006 Thursday |
What you want to do versus what you should do may be facing off today. Your ability to express yourself is heightened, but the rationale driving your thoughts could be perceived as a little forceful and could turn off those who could possibly help. Rather than relying too much on logic, make sure you express clearly why it's the right thing to do for all concerned. Mars in the Natural 4th House makes getting your home environment exactly where you want an urgent matter, but your efforts seem to be in vain. First of all, make sure that your goals are realistic and shared by those you expect to help. Likewise, recognize that Venus and Neptune in sextile could be throwing a bit of laziness into the equation that is squared off against your ambitions. This, too, shall pass. |
|
5-19-2006 Friday |
Thanks to that Sun/Mercury conjunction being tied in with Pluto, don't be surprised if you have the urge to bare your soul today, perhaps to explain why you behave the way you do. The Moon and Neptune are also conjoined and tied in with Mars, which will add a fair amount of heartfelt idealism, and Venus, which may make you want to sing a few choruses of "We are the World." Saturn is on holiday again, and most likely you'd prefer to be, too, with work and pleasure each vying for your attention. At least it's Friday so hopefully you'll have a few days off to chill out and think about everything that's been going on the last month or so. Rest assured it's not just you, the world has been pretty weirded-out lately. |
|
5-20-2006 Saturday |
That Pisces Moon is an emotional one and throwing its influence in various directions today. It's squaring that Sun-Mercury conjunction, which will definitely make communications more emotional than usual. Topics could include purchases or something to do with existing possessions, but expect a plethora of ideas that may make it difficult to focus on the real issue. Mars and Venus are still squared-off, also, which usually doesn't bode very well for male-female relationships of all sorts, though it can also relate to work/ ambition versus pleasure/ relaxation as well. At least Pluto, the king of obsessions, is taking a break. Maybe you should, too. At least plan one soon so you have something to look forward to. |
|
5-21-2006 Sunday |
The Sun moved into Gemini today and is dancing with Mercury in the Natural 3rd House, stirring up all sorts of mental stimulation. That sextile link with Saturn will put a serious spin on it, however, with the focus perhaps on whether your future is as secure as you'd like. It's placement in the Natural 5th House could emphasize concern for your offspring, whether literally or figuratively, i.e. either your children or creative endeavors. Mars is busy as usual, throwing some extra energy at Venus, the Moon and Neptune, which taken all together with the Sun and Mercury's antics, could be making you really think hard about what you want to be when you grow up. At least Pluto is still staying out of it all so your considerations should be unclouded by too much ruminating on past mistakes or being motivated by power. |
|
5-22-2006 Monday |
The entire Solar System is in for a piece of the action today and the aspects are predominantly positive. Yeah, I know, it's about time, but it IS Monday, so how good can it be? That Venus - Mars square is nearly exact so if there is any trouble afoot, that's probably what's to blame. Venus in Aries, the Natural 1st House, will give a hankering for attention, love and comfort while Mars in Cancer, the Natural 4th House, will conflict with that by throwing some energy toward fixing up your home environment. Factor in a dose of responsibility from Saturn and the Moon and you'll probably do something like mow the lawn even though you'd rather be inside w/a cold beer. With Pluto and Neptune throwing some deep, introspective idealism at Venus, you'll probably visualize landscaping with lots of rocks or some other means to avoid all that drudgery. |
|
5-23-2006 Tuesday |
That is what I call a short and sweet transit chart. The Moon is void of course, meaning it's not aspecting anything, which usually means nothing will come to completion during that time. Neptune is minding his own business so reality should be in fairly good focus, perhaps too much so. There are so many projects you need to get started on you hardly know where to begin. There are things to do around the house, activities with the kids, and on top of that you really need to look at your finances. There are investment opportunities out there that you're missing for lack of paying attention. It may be hard to concentrate on any one thing today, but make a list while it's fresh in your mind. If that's all you accomplish today you're really not doing too badly. |
|
5-24-2006 Wednesday |
Pluto has really been messing with us lately, unearthing all sorts of trash and baggage from our past that is really making us wonder if we have an ounce of sense. The good news is that, while this is likely to continue for a while, the lessons learned from this 20:20 hindsight are really a good thing. If we don't learn from our mistakes we're doomed to repeat them, so listen up. Therefore, if you meet someone who seems inordinately charismatic, remember if you've been there before and act accordingly. Saturn and Neptune are sitting this one out, which cuts back on the onerous sense of responsibility and delusions, respectively. The male-female thing is still slightly out of kilter, but on the positive side your brain should be working relatively well, even if you're the only one who thinks so. |
|
5-25-2006 Thursday |
Looks like another game of Space Invaders with Neptune still minding his own business over there in the Natural 11th House. Everyone else, however, is really stirring the pot. Don't be surprised if you have the sudden urge to spend some of your hard-earned money in a big way on something you think you really, really want. However, good sense is likely to jump in just in time. Work and pleasure are still not cooperating with one another and some of that deep introspection into past deeds is likely to continue for a while longer. Just remember that whatever you did, at the time you had a reason, even if it doesn't stand the test of time. Find the lesson you need to learn to avoid an encore and move on. |
|
5-26-2006 Friday |
Hopefully you got past yesterday's temptation to buy something big on credit that you really thought you needed. If not, maybe it's still not too late to take it back. Those head versus heart arguments are always a nuisance, but when money is involved you're usually better off going with your head. Or ask one of your friendly Earth Signs for advice. Expect some surprising news today, whether by learning something new and unexpected or even seeing a side of yourself you didn't know was there. Retrograde Neptune is still going solo in Aquarius, the Natural 11th House. This could cause some disconnected albeit idealistic thoughts relative to your friends or workplace. If anything that seems like a good idea but doesn't really make sense flits by, write it down. In a day or two it might be the perfect solution. |
|
5-27-2006 Saturday |
The New Moon occurred in Gemini just after midnight this morning. This is the Natural 3rd House of intelligence and should sharpen your mental acumen, perhaps eliciting something you hadn't thought of before. It's tied in with Saturn, so your bright idea may have something to do with advancing your career or how to carry out a responsibility in a different manner than in the past. You're still needing a break you haven't taken yet and just about the time you decide to indulge yourself something is bound to come along that will mess it up. You may encounter a challenge today from someone on a real power trip such as an over-zealous cop or other authority figure. If you're an Aries or Scorpio make an extra effort to guard your temper. |
|
5-28-2006 Sunday |
Pluto is really out for blood today, but what else would you expect from the god of the underworld? That devious slimeball is messing with your emotions in a deep and probing way that will be less than pleasant if any of your relationships are out of order. Your communications with others are likely to be brilliant maybe even inspired, but possibly more caustic than necessary, especially those of a philosophical nature. If you're traveling make sure everything is in order BEFORE you leave and pay attention; definitely do NOT do something stupid like driving under the influence on the deadliest holiday weekend of the year. Power struggles on the homefront are also likely as well as some unexpected responsibilities. |
|
5-29-2006 Monday |
Pluto is still misbehaving but in a slightly less emotional way than yesterday. Nonetheless, since it's retrograde, it's more of a time to think and plan than take action, so don't expect any resolution for a while. Neptune trining Mercury may trigger some interesting conversations pertaining to your social circle, but as always when Neptune is involved, don't lose touch with reality. No matter how nice it sounds if it's too idealistic it can cause a lot of disappointment in the real world. That Mars - Venus square in the Natural 2nd and 4th houses could aggravate family matters of a monetary nature and could get emotional before they're resolved. Resistance is futile if your position is flawed so just admit it and do the right thing. |
|
5-30-2006 Tuesday |
Whatever it is you'd like to be doing, most likely you're going to encounter a lot of resistance. Obstacles are everywhere and frustrations abound. One moment you think your hopes and dreams are alive and well, the next they're taking a real beating. Whatever you do don't let them die. Try not to be too defensive or caustic in defending them, but trust in your inalienable right to happiness. While your responsibilities may seem overwhelming right now, there are solutions out there you haven't thought of yet. If you owe anyone money you are likely to be reminded of it, possibly just about the time that tax refund you filed at the last minute hits your mailbox. |
|
5-31-2006 Wednesday |
Venus is taking several pot shots (actually squares) at Mars, the Moon, and Saturn which should definitely have some impact on your possessions coupled with home issues, including the kids. It looks to me as if something of value that you care about could break down or get broken so it might not be a good day to hand over the car keys to that teenaged driver. Also make sure any rowdiness stays outside where it belongs. Pluto is in cahoots with Mercury and Mars meaning your subconscious and conscious minds are likely to have conflicting views today and you may discover something about yourself that takes you by surprise. Also, new graduates could be a handful right now with arguments relative to living at home and going to junior college versus going away to school. There are merits to either so listen carefully to both sides before you decide who's on the power trip. |
|
6-1-2006 Thursday |
Even if you don't know squat about astrology you can probably tell those transits don't look very friendly. The single, green trine is the only positive thing there and it's nearly out of orb. The Sun is squaring Uranus, which could bring a few surprises your way, perhaps of a mental or psychological nature or make you give some serious thought to some major changes. Perhaps you'll finally see something you'd missed before or have a new insight into a situation. That Moon opposite Neptune will contribute quite heavily to your thoughts today by making you quite idealistic and giving even more punch to the emotional side of things. Your communications are likely to be tainted with power struggles and there's some serious potential for financial issues. All in all, it does not look like a very good day. Just bear in mind that you're going to be inclined to overreact to just about everything so try to remember that things may not be as bad as they seem. |
|
6-2-2006 Friday |
Other than that T-square (red triangle) things look a little bit better than yesterday. Then again, maybe not. It looks like there could be some problem relative to your possessions that is going to cost you money. Possibly a lot, meaning you may be taking out a loan you hadn't planned on. Communications are still tainted by Pluto which will make solving those financial problems even more difficult. Thoughts of the past will be particularly emotional and you're likely to be way too hard on yourself for any past mistakes. That itty bitty green triangle is trying to improve things, but don't hold your breath since all it's really doing it is throwing even more emotion your way coupled with a touch of Mars. My guess is all this crap is going to hit on the homefront so calling in sick won't even help. You have my sincerest condolences. Remember these transits hit us all, myself included! I just call 'em like I see 'em. |

Ugh! As if the last few days haven't been bad enough, now we have TWO T-squares out there. That Moon - Sun - Uranus one could be anything from some surprising news from your parents to some innovative idea related to work or even an unexpected health issue. At any rate, expect to be surprised by SOMETHING. The other one involves Venus - Saturn and Jupiter and is still hanging around from yesterday. So if you escaped some big crisis involving your belongings then it's still too soon to assume you dodged the bullet. If you have a commission based job, however, it might be a good day because there will be lots of folks out there shopping to replace the defunct item! Venus is trining that Virgo Moon which should help shoppers find something they like and have an eye for detail, which could help avoid further problems in the future. |
|
Sunday |
Well, at least we got rid of that second T-square, but the persistence of that other one is going to be felt. If your finances aren't going very well these days you can blame the planets. They make rather good scapegoats and shaking your fist at them is much more humane than kicking the poor dog. It's definitely not a perfect world, but all you can control is your little corner of it. We really weren't born to be miserable and if you are then changes may be in order. Just make sure you're factoring some logic into your decisions, then look yourself square in the eye in the mirror and be honest with yourself. Do your circumstances need to change or do you? Mars is taking it easy today which could definitely contribute to a lazy day so take advantage of it to do some serious thinking about where you want to be a year from now. Then remember every journey starts with a single step. |
|
Monday |
The stars and planets may not have been particularly friendly lately, but for those of you into stargazing that Mars/Saturn conjunction is visible with Mercury about to join them in a little over a week. Go here for more information. That Uranus-Sun square may really make you think hard about making some changes, either to your way of thinking or perhaps deeper than that. That T-square we've been watching for several days now is generally about money, but it could also relate to how you earn it. That coupled with some motivation for change might be worth considering. The Sun is trining Neptune, which will touch your thoughts with a bit of idealism and that Mercury - Moon square will make your communications a tad more emotional than usual, especially on the homefront. |
|
Tuesday |
Whoa! Look at that date! Kinda makes me want to ignore it, like the 13th floor on a building! Looks like the birthday for Rosemary's Baby, eh? Anyone born on this day in 1940 will really be throwing some 6's around, and I don't mean playing Yahtzee, either! Ok, enough of the banter. But 6/6/06 only comes once a century so enjoy it while it lasts! Our T-square is still hanging in there and since the subject planets move relatively slowly it will be there a while longer. Hang onto your wallet, take care of your stuff and think about whether the job you're in is right for you. On the positive side we have a nice Grand Air Trine involving the Sun, Moon and Neptune. Air signs love to communicate but it looks like this one could involve integrating something into your life that your head, heart and ideals can all agree on. Maybe it involves a career change, a relationship or simply deciding to appreciate what you have and take life less seriously. (It may not spell w-o-r-l-d p-e-a-c-e but it could on a personal level and sounds better than Armageddon.) |
|
Wednesday |
Your money may still be burning a hole in your pocket, and whatever it is you want, whether you need it or not, it's looking mighty good. Saturn is throwing a fair amount of common sense at it, however, so think long and hard before you take on another debt. When you think about it as just another bill to pay it may look a lot less appealing. An attitude adjustment of some sort is probably in order, so listen to your intuition. That Libra Moon is having a bit of a confrontation with Mars over there in Leo, which could seriously impair your sense of fairness. That Moon - Pluto sextile will be short-lived but will perhaps unearth something or someone from your past that will give you something to think about. Just be sure you think hard enough to find the message before you dismiss it. |
|
Thursday |
No, there's nothing wrong with your eyes or monitor, but it certainly looks like it. The Moon and Jupiter are conjoining in Scorpio and throwing aspects in a big way. Mars and Saturn are hooking up, too, and make for some nice stargazing. If you are in a serious relationship and been thinking of popping the question, it looks like this would be a suitable time. Pluto is even minding his own business, which can't hurt. Emotions are likely to be running in high gear, Mercury is giving your communications an A-OK, and change, possibly a big one, is definitely in the air. Your head may offer some resistance, but deep inside you know what you need to do. As Obi Wan Kenobi used to say, "Listen to your feelings..." |
|
Friday |
We have a Grand Water Trine out there today, even though it's a bit weak, i.e. the orbs are pretty wide (that's what HE said...). Water trines are generally emotional and this one implies a change, perhaps a big one, in how you present yourself, so it's actually somewhat of a transformation, which is further reinforced by the Pluto - Sun trine, also a wide orb. Thus, what we have are nudges compared to kicks in the butt, but aspects with these themes have been coming at us for quite a while now. None of us is perfect and there's no one I know that couldn't benefit from some well-placed change, whether in their attitude, habits, circumstances, or environment. So what do you need to change about your life to be happier? And what are you waiting for? |
|
Saturday |
Now that's a mighty interesting looking chart. See the kite pattern? That's a pretty nice aspect with our Grand Water Trine from the other day now combined with a sextile pattern. If you just count the green lines versus the red you can see the good guys have the bad guys outnumbered two to one! If you didn't pop the big question the other day, today is even better since Venus is now in the loop. If this happens to be your wedding day (after all it IS June...) it should be a really great day with even the heavens smiling on you! The Moon, which is on its way to being full tomorrow, is trining that Mars - Saturn conjunction which will give you some serious determination toward your responsibilities. That Sun - Neptune trine is nearly exact and should make for a great day with friends and family. There may be a surprise or two and Pluto may unearth something from your past but overall it looks like a really pleasant day. |
|
Sunday |
Full Moon today, right about the time you're chilling out after lunch. It's mighty close to Pluto which could throw some major introspection, guilt trips or other psychological forensic activity your way. Security issues and feeling as if there just ain't quite enough to get by on are likely, especially if you're still getting over (or perhaps indulged) that urge/need to spend some money that was going around the other day. It might be a good time to give your investments a sanity check with Jupiter in Scorpio (Natural 8th House that includes other people's money) opposing Venus in Taurus (Natural 2nd House of possessions). Unexpected events have abounded lately, not all of them pleasant. Up until today the Sun has been squaring Uranus, in fact had it in the crosshairs, and chaos and insanity was everywhere. I saw it, folks, but tried to be optimistic and didn't want to scare you. Hopefully it's over, at least for a while. |
|
Monday |
That Grand Water Trine is still around dripping with change, loaded conversations and possibly opportunity, though it could also bring news of some sort, hopefully of a positive nature, especially with the Sun - Venus - Uranus sextile pattern. Neptune and Venus are squared off, so make sure you don't believe everything you see or hear too readily. The Sun and Pluto will be in opposition for the next week or so, which is likely to stir up some more of the past, but with the Sun in Gemini hopefully you'll be able to find the lesson and be done with it once and for all. Mars and Saturn are nearly conjoined, which you can actually see if the sky is clear, but they could be revving up a bit of rebellion against authority of some sort, whether it's your boss, your mortgage company or the IRS. Just make sure you have your facts straight before you push too hard. |
|
Tuesday |
You're likely to get some surprising news today, hopefully of a positive nature. That Moon trine Venus, which is nearly exact, should have a positive effect on relationships, with any related conversations probably of a fairly practical nature. There's a chance of being too idealistic and expecting too much, however, and the conversation could get emotional. Reflecting on past mistakes is likely, thanks to Pluto, and I really don't like that double square from Jupiter to that Mars - Saturn conjunction. That smells like some kind of major breakdown or clash with authority to me that you're not going to like. Even though Jupiter is usually friendly, the other two usually aren't, like Uranus has been lately, as evidenced by the hectic and disruptive events we've seen the last week or so. Hopefully, whatever mess is afoot, the ultimate outcome will be positive. Be vigilant and cross your fingers. |
| Wednesday | Try not to expect too much from the world these days or you're likely to be disappointed. Idealism is nice in theory but seldom reality. The Moon is opposite that Mars - Saturn pair, which in turn is squared off with Jupiter. Hopefully it won't be as bad as last week when the Sun was squaring Uranus and kicking it hard, my own included. How many surprises and train wrecks did you encounter? Mars and Saturn are equally malevolent if not more so, and while things may be slightly less hectic, these aspects are NOT good. It looks like major shakeups and your reaction will be much more emotional than necessary, probably because you still haven't recovered from last week. Murphy's Law is written in the heavens lately and declaring that anything than can go wrong will go wrong. Hang tight. |
|
Thursday |
That's a rather nondescript looking chart but you'll notice that the red rather sneakily outnumbers the green. Seems like that's been the story of our lives lately. Uranus has been quite a pain the last week or so, but hopefully this time it will be good news. The Moon is converging with Neptune in the Natural 11th House of friends, hopes and wishes. This will most likely highlight some memorable events, but that square they're throwing to Venus concerns me just a bit. The Moon and both planets tend toward the emotional but they're usually not malefic, but it looks like it could result in some kind of disagreement or choice regarding who you hang with. Pluto and the Sun are going to be looking each other in the eye for another week or so, which will be dredging up the past and possibly events or people you'd prefer to forget. That Mars - Saturn conjunction could mean a clash with authority of some sort, especially if you're trying to borrow money. Just remember what your grandmother used to tell you about getting more flies with honey than vinegar. |
|
Friday |
The Moon is void of course, which means that most likely nothing of any import is going to come to fruition today. That Sun - Pluto opposition is exact for all intents and purposes, so expect some cerebral regurgitation, particularly with Pluto retrograde. Whatever you failed to learn in the past is giving you a second chance and the sooner you figure it out the better. That Mars - Saturn conjunction is mighty close and squaring Jupiter, which is probably challenging your view of the world, who's in charge, where you're headed and what it's all about. Clashes with authority figures are likely. Venus, Neptune and Mercury are in kind of a weird configuration. If you're viewing a relationship thru rose-colored glasses it's probably time to talk about it. |
|
Saturday |
Not much has changed since yesterday except the Moon and Uranus are in pretty close quarters and as much fun as I could have with that one, I'll leave it alone. Uranus has been a real cosmic hemorrhoid lately and an encounter with the Moon is likely to make you moody and unpredictable, especially if you're a Cancer or Aquarius, so be on the lookout for meltdowns today, either you own or others. That Sun - Pluto opposition will be exhuming something from your past for the next week or so. Pluto transits, especially when it's retrograde, are grueling at best and excruciating at worst. If your birthday is around June 11-21 this unenviable aspect will be in your Solar Return chart and effective all year. All I can say is brace yourself for a psychological autopsy. |
|
Sunday |
Uh, oh. That red triangle, known as a T-square, is not a pretty sight. The Sun (your ego), the Moon (your emotions) and Pluto (either a power trip or those things inside you really rather not face) are at war today. Delusions or dissatisfaction of some sort relative to a relationship are likely and most likely you'll be trying to justify your position, to yourself if no one else. Pluto is likely to force you to face the truth, however, which may not be what you want to hear. Saturn and Mars are still in cahoots with one another and squared off with Jupiter, which means a clash between ambition and responsibility may be escalating as well. The good news is that Uranus is sitting this one out and that pitiful little green sextile may at least help you talk it out. |
|
Monday |
That blue pointer is called a Yod and usually means a choice needs to be made. It could mean anything from deciding between two relationships to whether to buy that big leather chair versus an HDTV. That opposition down the middle gives it a bit more snap that may cloud the entire issue with rumbles from the past. Both Uranus and Neptune are loners today, which will help bring out the facts clear and simply without embellishment. The Moon is trining that Saturn - Mars pair in Leo, which could make it easier to commit emotionally to whatever responsibility you've decided to take on. That square to Jupiter implies it might require some funding, however, so do your homework and then follow your instincts. |
|
Tuesday |
That Yod is still there and in fairly close orb. It will be there a while longer so if it hasn't manifested itself yet, give it time. You're deciding something that relates to your comfort, how your express yourself, particularly in your home environment and your past is weighing in quite heavily. The Moon is aspecting both the Sun and Pluto, which will give it some additional punch in the emotions, and that square to Mercury could make it hard to communicate what you're thinking/feeling. Uranus started stationing to go retrograde on the 16th and is responsible for all those unexpected events and surprises lately. These will most likely continue for a LONG time, i.e. November, but probably not quite so dramatically. At any rate, expect the unexpected. |
|
Wednesday |
The Sun slipped into Cancer today, which will bring some emphasis to 4th House issues, i.e. your home environment. Communications relative to your relationships and perhaps any purchases should go fairly well. That Yod which is still in effect is probably pointing toward a choice you need to make and Pluto is still dragging out incidents from your past. Reminiscing is well and good, but make sure you find the lesson in whatever comes to the surface, especially anything that may have been less than pleasant. That nearly exact double T-square with the Moon, the Saturn-Mars conjunction (which is visible in the west just after sunset, by the way) and Jupiter is likely to bring about a definitely shift in how you view your place in the Sun. There are responsibilities of numerous varieties and you need to think really hard about which ones are most important. |
|
Thursday |
Issues relative to your past, particularly emotionally charged ones, are likely to be on your mind today and you'll probably find yourself talking about things you thought you'd forgotten long ago. These will most likely relate to relationships, either to your family or past lovers. The real question is what purpose did they serve in your life and where are you headed now? Making mistakes is only human and the difference between wisdom and stupidity is how much you learn from them. Be honest, how many times have you repeated them? Your philosophy of life may not be in harmony with the world at large but that's OK as long as you know WHY. Matters of the heart are trying to get your attention but they keep tripping on your past. What are you missing here? |
|
Friday |
You may find yourself questioning paradigms you grew up with which seem incredibly flawed now that you're older and wiser. Who and what are you and do you like what you see? Do you really agree with everything that was crammed into your head when you were a kid? Or is it just a habit, perhaps a bad one? If you keep on doing what you've always done, you'll keep on getting what you've always got. If you're not happy with your life, job, or relationships, you can probably find the energy necessary to confront them once and for all and do something about them. Uranus and Neptune are quietly minding their own business and they're both retrograde, which means their energies are turned inward. Thus, it's time to reevaluate your ideals and how they relate to changes you really need to be making. Now. |
|
Saturday |
What better time than summer to remember your childhood? Whether it was good or bad, usually summers had something worth remembering. Whether or not you'd go back if your could is a moot point; your past is part of you and irrefutably ingrained in your character. If you're all grown up, or would like to think you are, you no longer have any excuse for being different that you know you should be. Blaming other flawed human beings for your own mistakes is a cop out when you now understand things you didn't at the time. We all evolve with time and if we're not getting better we have no one to blame but ourselves. What do you need to change? A job? A relationship? A bad habit? Is it really that much fun being miserable? Would it really hurt to admit you made a mistake? The Sun is in the natural 4th House of home environment this month so there's no better time to make some positive changes. |
|
Sunday |
New Moon today in Cancer which could usher in something new to your home environment. There is an amazing lack of aspects today, which could result in a day of random thoughts and actions with not much accomplished. It will either be nice and laid back or frustrating depending on where your head is at. About all I see out there is a conflict of some kind between either an authority figure or possibly your responsibilities versus what you'd really like to be doing. Any changes that you'd like to make you're going to have to justify and you'll probably encounter some resistance. Borrowing money probably isn't a very good idea right now but if it's unavoidable make sure you read the fine print and double-check your budget to make sure you can afford it. (If you're thinking of buying a boat remember that they're a hole in the water you throw money into.) |
|
Monday |
There are still a few loners out there today planet-wise, but if they're aspecting your Natal or Progressed chart they may have a bit of extra punch in your possessions, musings on the past or your ability to communicate effectively. The Moon is trining Uranus (if you can say that with a straight face you're a better person than I am) which may bring some surprises on the home front. If you're trying to make some changes in that area, you also may encounter some resistance. There are four retrograde planets out there right now which make it a time for introspection and planning. You may be torn between staying home or socializing with your friends, but you're likely to have plenty of energy, so direct it wisely. |
|
Tuesday |
You may find yourself with the strange impression to call your mother today, assuming she's alive, and if not, you'll probably be thinking about her. Blame it on that Mercury - Moon conjunction coupled with the Sun in Cancer, the 4th House which covers your home environment. That Jupiter - Saturn square is what's keeping you from making that big, fat purchase that will have you enslaved to a loan for years, or at least making you think about it very hard. The last week or so has been loaded with surprises of one sort or another, the pace enough to make your head spin. A lot of that was when Uranus was floating out there all by its lonesome self (I know, very funny, but I'm trying to behave). Now it's tied in with Mars but all things considered it looks like it could trigger some innovative ideas that you'll get quite excited about. Remember that everyone has at least one million dollar idea in their lifetime; maybe this will be yours. |
|
Wednesday |
You might have the urge to fix up or beautiful your home in some way today, possible in a big way. Just make sure that you throw some logic in there, which might be difficult. Your yearnings and your wallet are likely to get into an argument about it all but by the way things are shaping up out there, it looks like the wallet is going to lose, particularly if it's something you've always wanted and that deal is just too good to pass up. You may find it hard to express yourself, no matter how much you talk, since Mercury is out there doing its own thing. Bear in mind that he's about to go retrograde again July 7 so if you have any major purchases to make, do it before then or wait until after July 30. Items bought during Mercury retrograde periods tend to be destined for trouble, particularly anything of a mechanical nature. |
6-29-2006 Thursday |
Saturn is still trying to keep your tendencies to be extravagant in check but your drive to pursue a dream or two is pretty strong. If you want to make some big changes you'll have to come up with a reasonably convincing case, but more than likely it's going to be a lot of fluff and not sound logic. Maybe it's just something you've always wanted on an emotional level and still can't justify regardless of how much you still would like to have it. Think about the past a bit, both in terms of childhood memories and how you've changed since then, and see if you can find the origin, that first time you wanted it and why. Then decide if you really want it still or if you are just dragging around residual memories and outdated wish-lists. Instead of reaching for you wallet or some plastic, try indulging in a few simple pleasures instead, whether it's chilling out in the back yard or going out to eat. |
|
Friday |
There's quite a bit of action out there today with Jupiter and Mars the most active. If your a Sagittarius or an Aries you may notice it a bit more than others since these are your ruling planets respectively. Power struggles, perhaps internal, between responsibility and something you want, are still at it but your reasons are becoming more clear. Coming up with a sound rationale that doesn't sound like a fairy tale may be a challenge. Part of you may be hanging onto some idealistic premise that keeps you from convincing yourself it's okay to go after whatever you want. Emotional happenings at work are likely but not necessarily bad. Pluto is out there minding his own business, but unaspected planets can also have a lot random, unexpressed energy that can manifest itself in strange ways. If there's something you need to let go of, give it some thought. |
7-01-2006 Saturday |
Lots of activity out there and Pluto is still hanging loose, which could cause some pretty heavy-duty power struggles if it connects with something in your Natal Chart, especially Mars, in which case sparks are likely to fly. A strong desire for change is likely to the point of impatience with perhaps a bit too much idealism driving the train. Communications are likely to be somewhat self-centered with unexpected events and an hectic pace still in force. I don't know how you've been handling that Saturn - Jupiter square, but my wallet definitely lost some weight this week. Emotions are running in high gear as well as a tendency to be self-absorbed . With Mercury also unaspected as he prepares to go retrograde, disagreements and misunderstandings are very likely. |
| 7-02-2006 Sunday | Looks like everyone's back in the game today but that Pluto - Moon square is likely to cause some brooding over something that isn't quite right in your life. You're still focusing perhaps a bit too much on what you want and may be making yourself more miserable than necessary. Clashes with authority figures are still possible from that Saturn - Jupiter square, but that mini-sextile pattern (small green triangle, for you neophytes) should help bring out at least a little bit of charm and diplomacy to deal with it, no matter how irritated you may be. Disagreements are likely in your social circle, whether at home or work. Imposing your views and values on others usually only results in unpleasantries. Take off those rose-colored glasses and make sure you're seeing things clearly before mouthing off. |
| 7-03-2006 Monday | Pluto dropped out again and is undoubtedly looking for someplace in your chart to grab onto. If you find yourself on a power trip or ruminating on the past, he probably found it. If you look real closely you'll see a nice, green sextile pattern there as a green triangle connecting Venus, Saturn and the Moon. Depending on the circumstances in your life, that could indicate a marriage proposal is coming, further reinforced by the mini pattern beside it. If you're not in a romantic relationship, then it could mean anything from a good deal on something you really want to doing something nice for an older person. You still may be wanting to indulge yourself in something and that strong desire to make some changes that could be motivated by possibly delusional ideas is still out there. Your head and heart may have an argument or two today, but your head is likely to win. This time... |
| 7-04-2006 Tuesday | Lots of green out there today which is good to see for a change, especially since it's a holiday. There are likely to be some surprises due to that Sun trine Uranus aspect, but hopefully they'll be good ones. That Venus square Uranus might not be as friendly, however, so keep an eye on your possessions, or be extra careful generally if you're a Taurus or Libra. Being caught up in a daydream or two, perhaps of an emotional nature, is possible, and memories from the past are likely, so don't be surprised when you're watching those fireworks if you find yourself drifting back in time to previous displays. Thoughts of a philosophical nature are possible, also, not only because it's Independence Day, but because of that Sun trine Jupiter. A little appreciation for what we have is certainly appropriate and the planets are making sure it happens. |
| 7-05-2006 Wednesday | Our nice little burst of green has evaporated and now there's a bunch of red out there, including multiple squares between Mercury, Saturn, the Moon and Jupiter. I don't know about you, but I can't help but wonder what life would be like if those planets would just behave themselves. Since Mercury just went retrograde that alone is less than enchanting news. Throw all those negative aspects together and you can have general communication problems to which you react more emotionally than usual and there could definitely be a few hassles with authority figures or institutions of one kind or another. Unexpected events or changes in your way of thinking about something, perhaps of a romantic nature, are also out there. It's likely to be a fairly hectic day. |
| 7-06-2006 Thursday | The Moon is really tying a bunch of aspects together today, but they'll be short-lived since the Moon moves quickly. That Grand Water Trine (the big, green equilateral triangle) is likely to throw some extra emotional punch your way, particularly if anything unexpected occurs. The T-square (big red triangle) indicates some possible conflict but the subject of disagreement is likely to be unclear, vague or have an idealistic and possibly unrealistic nature. Remember that religion and politics are often taboo subjects if you want to maintain a friendly environment. At least Pluto is trining Mars, a generally positive aspect, though those two are all about power and aggression. If you're an Aries or Scorpio you're likely to feel it but whether that energy comes out in a positive or negative manner is largely up to you. |
| 7-07-2006 Friday | Green is in the lead again, which is always nice. Those challenges in red have been hanging on for a while, meaning that a lot of what's been bothering you lately isn't going away just yet. It may be difficult to express what you're feeling, even though that trine between the Moon and Mercury is generally positive. Mercury went retrograde recently so brace yourself until the end of the month for confusion, crashed computers, messed up traffic, more mistakes than usual in documentation, etc. You may have a lot of energy for a new project that has some creative elements you really like. The frosting on the cake is the fact that that you feel a sense of accomplishment and confidence that you didn't have before. Changing your view of yourself is a positive step and will help you keep other events in their proper perspective. Just remember that if you let go of the past then those things worth keeping will follow you into the future. |
| 7-08-2006 Saturday | Ouch. That T-Square (red triangle) stands out like a sore thumb and does not look friendly. However, since the Moon is involved it won't last long; only hours, actually. It looks like changes and surprises of an emotional nature so brace yourself. Generally that chart reminds me of the Pickup Stix game that was popular when I was a kid, many, many moons ago. Mercury is retrograde and free floating out there, which could add to the confusion. Being in Leo, there is likely to be some definite roaring going on as we'll all probably be a bit egocentric in our views. Power trips are also likely. You may find yourself taking some advice from and older peer or friend today that will probably be very helpful so listen carefully. Enjoy your dreams but recognize what it will take to make them reality. |
| 7-09-2006 Sunday | That's a pretty busy chart with all sorts of stuff going on. If you've been doing a lot of daydreaming lately you're likely to get busted. A little idealism is a good thing, but don't slip too far away from reality or expect everyone to see it the same way. The Moon and Pluto are dancing today, at least for a while, which is likely to unearth something from your past. Communications are likely to be a bit more emotional than usual and probably misunderstood since when Mercury is retrograde, that big antenna in the sky doesn't work too well. Clashes with authority figures are still likely, but this could be as subtle as watching your budget and not necessarily a person. You're probably still wanting to make some changes, perhaps in your homelife, but more than likely something is in your way. The real question is whether or not you're big enough to move it. |
|
7-10-2006
Monday Full Moon |
Full Moon tonight in Capricorn, which will probably throw some light on your reputation, community standing and similar 10th House issues. There are so many aspects out there I hardly know where to start. Venus is usually a personal favorite, particularly since she's usually friendly. Things look pretty interesting for relationships with that sextile to Mars, ties to the emotional Moon and dreamy Neptune, plus a bit of mystery from Pluto. Being a bit forceful in expressing your views is possible, coupled with that lingering power trip. You may have to bite your tongue, at least if you don't want to alienate your friends. You may not care at the moment but you will later. Amazingly, in all that action Mercury is still alone out there and in his retrograde state likely to cause a few problems, especially on the homefront. |
| 7-11-2006 Tuesday | The Moon is in opposition to retrograde Mercury, meaning some unresolved issue from your past may arise. Retrograde planets turn their energy inward and Mercury influences communications so maybe it's time you had a good talk with yourself. Relationship prospects still look good, maybe even hot, but make sure you don't entirely lose your head over somebody because you're probably not seeing things very clearly with Neptune out there, opposing Mars and trining Venus. In ultra-simple terms, the guys might be deceived and the gals might have their head in the clouds. And both of you might be carrying a bit more baggage than you need for this particular trip, taking us back to that conversation you need to have with yourself. |
| 7-12-2006 Wednesday | There's another one of those T-Squares (that big, red triangle) that usually means a conflict or impending choice of some kind. This one could mean that peer pressure or some other form of wanting to belong may drive you to blow your budget in a big way. It also may motivate a really foolish move against authority or to do something that will impress people, logical or not. That Mars - Pluto trine will undoubtedly exacerbate it as well as some of the aspects Neptune is casting. Those planets will keep you on your toes, or should, to avoid doing something you'll regret later. On top of that, our little retrograde friend, Mercury, is free-floating again, which will make it harder than usual to express yourself. And then there's Uranus. Harbinger of change, surprises and unexpected events, he's also lurking out there looking for trouble. The problem is likely to start in your subconscious and try to push you somewhere else. Just make sure you really want to go there before you start the journey. |
| 7-13-2006 Thursday | That big, green mystic rectangle is a rather interesting aspect that doesn't arise very often. It's easy to get lost in all the positive aspects and miss the fact that it includes two oppositions. This mixed bag often brings something positive but there is something in its way. This one looks like relationship or partnership issues where the chemistry is there but some emotional issue from the past needs to be resolved before it can progress. Those blue quincunx aspects fit in quite nicely, considering they usually mean you'll have to defend something. The planets involved reinforce this situation and indicate reassessing your emotional involvement as well as what your personal hopes and dreams happen to be. Uranus is still sneaking around, also, so in the midst of everything else be prepared for a surprise or two. |
| 7-14-2006 Friday |
Pluto is scowling at Venus and smiling at Mars with the orb nearly exact, which means the influence will be fairly strong. While this could cause a few male-female relationship problems, there is actually a positive aspect in force between Venus and Mars. It looks to me as if the guys out there will be feeling their oats and be slightly more attractive than usual. The fairer sex, however, could be feeling a bit disheartened, either because someone is walking all over them or they're obsessing over something in their past or our culture that needs to be resolved. Thus, the guys could be perceived as major heroes to a damsel in distress or conversely as the villain, depending on the circumstances, which should make for an interesting day. The Moon is transiting Pisces which will throw a little extra emotion into the mix and it's aspect to Saturn along the way will possible bring in a dash or responsibility or someone older and wiser to provide some hopefully good advice. |
| 7-15-2006 Saturday | All that Venus, Mars, Pluto business from yesterday just got a lot more complicated. That Pisces Moon is tied in with Venus and Pluto as a T-square , so if the ladies out there didn't have a meltdown yet, one is probably on the way. Those blue lines usually indicate you'll have to defend something, and it looks like the guys may be in trouble. If you're trying to change something relative to your responsibilities you'll probably have to justify it as well as what could be perceived as a power trip or perhaps an attachment to the past that needs to be severed. The fact that Mercury is retrograde through all this is not helpful for talking it out with others, but it will help efforts at being more introspective, which may be where the problem really lies anyway. |
| 7-16-2006 Sunday | The Moon is plowing through Aries, which will throw some energy and determination our way. That trine with Saturn may give you a kick-start in the career or a break at work, though you should also think about what getting ahead really means to you. Is it more money, status or simply being happy? We're the sum-total of our experiences, but there may be some elements of your past out there that aren't really doing you any good. If there are any bad experiences you're hanging onto, just make sure that you learn something positive from them. As they say, good decisions come from experience and experience comes from bad decisions. Change can be a good thing; just make sure the reason is sound. Neptune is free-floating which could add a few delusions, so just make sure there's logic behind your decision. |
| 7-17-2006 Monday | Today will probably be a Monday with a capital "M." That Aries Moon is squaring both the Sun and retrograde Mercury which means you're likely to get into an argument of some kind today. It's a little hard to see with so much going on out there today, but if you look closely you'll see a Grand Fire Trine, i.e. that big, green triangle. Coupled with the other stuff, it's going to be like throwing gasoline on a fire; just consider that the emotional Moon is in aggressive Aries , pushy Mars is in hot-tempered Leo and broody Pluto is in fiery Sagittarius. If you put three people together like that it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what will happen. The bottom line, is watch your temper, be careful driving today (especially with Mercury retrograde), and if you're on blood pressure medicine, make sure you don't forget to take it. Keeping some chamomile tea or some soothing music handy won't hurt, either. |
| 7-18-2006 Tuesday | Well, if you indulged in an argument yesterday, which is pretty likely, today you'll probably pay the price. That big, red T-square has issues with authority written all over it and those blue lines scattered all over the place are all about justifying and defending your view on things. Power and ego trips, poor communications, unexpected reactions from your boss or other authority figure that are tinged with a bit too much idealism are all out there today, just waiting to provide a rather stressful day. Don't over-do the caffeine or purposely do something to get yourself wired because it will only make it worse. Take advantage of that retrograde Mercury and indulge in some major introspection instead. Analyze what happened, what you'll do differently next time and then try to do as much damage control as your ego will allow. As Scarlett O'Hara noted so well, "Tomorrow is another day." |
| 7-19-2006 Wednesday | Venus moved into Cancer today, which will make Crabs more popular than usual and bring some benevolent vibes to that natural 4th House which affects our home environment. Considering how things have been going lately, it's about time we had some good news, no matter how small. You might be obsessing a bit on the recent or not so recent past and trying your best to justify some of your actions and decisions. We all need to look after ourselves, but just make sure you're not stomping on anyone else's toes needlessly. Remember the Golden Rule says to "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you," NOT "Do unto others BEFORE they do unto you." Such idealism may not be what you want to hear right now, but all in all the world would be a better place if we thought of others at least once in a while. |
| 7-20-2006 Thursday | The Moon is void of course, in other words not making any major aspects, for the better part of the day so most likely not much will be accomplished today. Venus is likewise free-floating out there, so its influence on your love life or finances will largely be determined by what it's doing to your Natal Chart. If you've made any changes lately or are thinking about them, what they'll do to some of your obligations could be an issue that you need to examine and justify. You may find yourself reminiscing on the past and be inclined to talk about things you thought you'd forgotten a long time ago and why you did what you did. You'll probably be a bit defensive about it, too, but be sure to look at it as objectively as possible and learn what you need to so you avoid a rerun, unless it's something pleasant, in which case, maybe you knew more then than you do now! |
| 7-21-2006 Friday | That is one busy chart, though some of the orbs are pretty wide (that's what HE said...) so their affect will be weak. The only one sitting this one out is Venus, who is cruising along there in Cancer probably triggering various melancholy thoughts of home of one kind or another, especially when combined with that Moon - Pluto opposition. Good times with old friends may come to mind, too, and when you think about it really hard you might decide a change or two should be in order. Whether that change has to do with your attitude, employment, residence or financial goals, it should provoke some serious introspection. Fortunately, that Moon - Neptune trine should throw some inspiration your way that should help you figure out the best course of action. |
| 7-22-2006 Saturday | That Moon - Venus conjunction coupled with that opposition to Pluto is very likely to stir up thoughts of the past. Whatever your homelife was like, you'll probably be thinking about it, most likely with some degree of melancholy, and reminiscing with an old friend or relative will be particularly satisfying. With the Sun, Moon, Mercury and Venus all in Cancer, the Natural 4th House that influences our home environment, you can expect an emphasis on this area, whether it involves the past or the present. Something unexpected may arise that could cause a confrontation or perhaps no more than a lively discussion with someone in authority. Remember that mistakes happen, especially when Mercury is retrograde, so keep you cool when you try to straighten things out. |
| 7-23-2006 Sunday | The Sun moves into Leo today, putting some emphasis on Natural 5th House issues including creativity and children. That Grand Water Trine, or big green triangle, is bound to provoke some deep feelings relative to your past, possibly as far back as your childhood, and lessons you've learned since then. Are you repeating past mistakes or are your going to move on and be better? Don't be surprised if you have very strong impressions and a lot of motivation to make some adjustments in your life that reflect what you've learned. Changing is seldom easy and always requires a lot of effort to overcome the inertia born of long time habits, but the ultimate results are usually worth it. Remember that those who refuse to learn from the past are doomed to repeat it. Mistakes in and of themselves are not necessarily bad, but if you don't find the lesson and make the required adjustments, then you'll find yourself in the same situation again someday. Think about it--is that what you really want? |
| 7-24-2006 Monday | New Moon today in Leo, which could signal the beginning of those changes we talked about the other day. New insights, perhaps surprising ones, are possible, and if you try to implement them you may encounter some resistance or complications related to familial or financial obligations. Reducing the stress in your life is important, but don't expect to have an idyllic existence anytime soon 'cause that just ain't the way it works. Pluto is free-floating and probably trying to attach itself to something in your Natal Chart that will provoke some cerebral forensic activities or mild (hopefully) obsessions on some past phase of your life. Mercury is still retrograde, but at least it's only for another week. He's also free-floating and likely to mess up something relative to communications, probably relative to your home life, if he forms an aspect with your Natal Chart. |
| 7-25-2006 Tuesday | If a confrontation relative to that change you're thinking about hasn't occurred yet, it probably will in the next day or so when that Uranus - Saturn aspect is exact. Things on the homefront look fairly peaceful, even pleasant, but an unexpected event or other surprise might come along and disturb any existing plans. Just take it in stride and compensate the best you can so as not to destroy the good vibes that are out there. A windfall of some description is also possible, perhaps an inheritance. The Sun, Moon and Saturn are all in Leo, highlighting kids and creativity and most likely the responsibility that goes along with them. This, of course, corresponds nicely with getting them ready to go back to school and that square to Jupiter in Scorpio, the Natural 8th House and sign of other people's money, tells me you're going to be financing a lot of it with plastic! |
| 7-26-2006 Wednesday | Yesterday's action in Leo still applies, joined today with perhaps a thought or two regarding why sometimes it seems as if life is just one fubar after another. You're not as much to blame as you may think, so cut yourself a break and don't beat yourself up. It's a good time to make some investments or shop for something you've been wanting for a while, but make sure you do the math and don't take on more than you can handle. If you're on vacation, you're likely to be making some good memories everyone will remember for a long time. Make sure all your arrangements are air-tight, however, because when Mercury is retrograde it's very common for something along those lines to go wrong. |
| 7-27-2006 Thursday | That Grand Water Trine is back, so expect another wave of emotion, possibly associated with a surprise of some kind on the homefront, maybe an expensive one. With Mercury still retrograde, maybe some major appliance or your car will conk out and you're concerned with how you'll pay for a new one. In the past week I know of two cell phones that died and at least one house closing that didn't happen, all of which are very symptomatic of our backpedaling, mercurial friend. In addition, the Moon and Mars are converging in the Natural 6th House which should throw some emotional energy toward your job. If you need to justify a raise to your boss, remember that he or she probably doesn't care about your financial woes so make your case based on how valuable you are. Admiration will get you a lot further than pity, at least with people you really want to impress. |
| 7-28-2006 Friday | That Grand Water Trine is still in effect and will be for a while since the planets are relatively slow-moving. So that means if you haven't been hit yet by some kind of surprise or unexpected event, probably at home, you still could be. It could cost you money or you might actually get some money out of it, so cross your fingers! With the Moon opposite Uranus (man, that one is hard to resist, but I won't go there) it might throw enough energy in that direction to kick-start it. Uranus is aspecting four planets so something is bound to happen that takes you by surprise, whether it's a traffic ticket, a surprise visit from your mother-in-law, or a confrontation with your boss. Mercury and Neptune are both retrograde and could cause a bit of delusion to slip into your perceptions so don't believe everything you see or hear, especially if either of them is one of your personal planets. |
| 7-29-2006 Saturday |
Nothing much has changed since yesterday other than the fact that the Moon is now squaring Pluto. Lunar aspects are relatively short-lived, usually no more than a day or two, but the Moon's influence is usually strong enough to feel. This one could come out as some kind of power struggle at work or could also bring to light some kind of health issue that you've either been ignoring or unable to identify. Pay attention to your instincts and respond accordingly. Happily, Mercury is coming out of retrograde, which is good news for us all. This will improve communications and help you express any inspiration you've had lately much more effectively. Mars is unattached, which could mean anything from a burst of energy to unexplained feelings of aggression, especially at work, so if anyone gets out of line at least you'll know why. |
| 7-30-2006 Sunday | Today looks like a fairly good day for relationships. At work energy levels are probably high, but if that free-wheeling Mars is aspecting yours or someone else's chart in a negative way it could mean a bit of aggression or an argument, but try not to take it too seriously. The Sun and Saturn are both squaring Jupiter which could mean a clash with authority, a traffic ticket, or a delay in getting something you want, like a loan. None of that sounds very pleasant, but that Grand Trine is still there (that big green triangle) which has hopefully brought some kind of pleasant surprise your way, possibly an unexpected gift or windfall. You may be a little more inspired than usual today, and come up with some great idea, but there may be some kind of obstacle preventing its implementation. |
| 7-31-2006 Monday | The urge to buy something new, possible for your home or someone special, may grab you today, or perhaps you're just feeling a little more sentimental than usual. The Moon is messing with a few things which, combined with Neptune, might throw a little extra dreaminess your way. You may have a small tiff at home or communication gap, perhaps over that purchase that's sniffing around your credit card. Logic is not exactly the theme for the day so, if possible, put off any major decisions until tomorrow. All is probably not as it seems at work and a surprise is likely. Show them what you're made out of by taking it in stride and not getting upset since there will be plenty of others who aren't as cool as you are and it will bring you some positive attention, expressed or not. |
| 8-01-2006 Tuesday | Ever wonder why your fondest dreams never become anymore than that? Often we're our own worst enemy and sabotage ourselves in some way we don't recognize unless we're very honest with ourselves. Dreams are alive and well today so why don't you take a hard look at how to get there? If you think the only answer is to win the lotto then you're really not that serious about what you want. There may be a windfall here and there for a few folks this week, but generally, as with so many things in life, if you want it done right then you have to do it yourself, whether it's cleaning the garage or earning a million dollars. Responsibility is facing off with those dreams, but talking about them as if they're possible may find a way around it. Communications are much better now that Mercury righted himself and finding a sympathetic listener is likely, so why don't you see what you can come up with? |
| 8-02-2006 Wednesday | Those multiple red lines down on the left are squares and will probably result in something coming to a head, possible that idea you've been obsessing on lately. Most likely you're feeling pretty confident about being able to do what you want, but then there's the rent and all those other bills that need to be paid every month. If work is getting in the way of your personal life, you're certainly not alone. You're going to have to defend any change you want to make with all your heart and be tremendously convincing, but charm is in abundance today, so go for it. Communications should be a bit on the emotional side but fairly friendly unless Mars decides to connect with something on your Natal Chart in a detrimental way. If so, use that energy to fuel your passion, not your temper. |
| 8-03-2006 Thursday | Everyone is in the game today with multiple aspects in a fairly balanced mix of good, bad and indifferent. However, most of the orbs are pretty wide, so their influence will probably be fairly marginal. In case you haven't noticed, aspects tend to fade in, have a day or so of exactness, and then fade out again. This is true to life where few events happen entirely unexpected. About the only one that does that is Uranus, but even then the 20:20 hindsight usually bears out where it came from. Today it looks like either authority figures or responsibilities are going to play a fairly large role and could come up out of the blue. Money is probably involved as well. Or maybe it's just reminding us the kids are going back to school. Other aspects indicate your communications are likely to be more emotional than usual, especially at home, and may involve something from the past that was never properly resolved, maybe something that happened back when you were in school. Having or coming from an ideal home is a nice dream, but seldom reality, so don't waste too much energy worrying about it. Just fix it and move on. |
| 8-04-2006 Friday | There's another one of those charts that looks like a Pickup-Stix game, for those of you who may remember it from your childhood. The red triangle called a T-Square buried in there is likely to cause some kind of an upset or argument, possibly at work, that is going to have emotions running in high gear. Try to keep your cool since it's likely to fade as quickly as it arises. Talk of past events and reminiscing are likely, some as fond memories, others not, and you may have to defend your position, so get your facts straight. Uranus is throwing change and surprises about in numerous directions which will turn up in numerous areas, e.g. your hobbies, work, credit, memories, friends from the past. Expect the unexpected, not just today but for several days to come. TGIF, but it's going to be a hectic weekend. |
| 8-05-2006 Saturday | If something from your past hasn't grabbed you yet, either in the form of memories or perhaps running into someone you knew a long time ago, it probably will today. You may question what you did or how you reacted to a situation or something else you never entirely resolved. It's very likely to involve a woman, perhaps your mother, a former friend or love interest. Maybe you didn't handle it very well and you wonder how things would be different today if you had. Don't be too hard on yourself because delusions are plentiful today and you may not be thinking clearly. Saturn is possibly putting a damper on your creative efforts or even your love interests these days, which could be part of why you're pondering the past. Neptune is actually trying to counteract that with some inspiration, but the end result could be feeling stifled and discouraged. Those two planets are going to be dancing for a while, so put on your comfortable shoes and keep walking in the direction you need to go. Don't "should" on yourself too much. This, too, shall pass. |
| 8-06-2006 Sunday | Those are some interesting aspects out there that are in very close orb and will be definitely making some noise. Venus and Mercury are conjunct in the Natural 4th House of home environment and linked with Pluto in the 9th, which covers travel, education and legal issues. On the obvious side, kids are going back to school. On the darker side, it could imply some type of home related power struggle. I know of one going on in my community right now that fits that theme quite well. That nearly exact Sun - Saturn conjunction in the natural 5th House opposing Neptune could be throwing some dilemmas, frustrations or conflicts your ways relative to your obligations getting in the way of your life. Uranus is putting his two cents worth in, also, which could introduce something unexpected. The green line ricocheting from Uranus to Jupiter to Mars to the Moon could bring a big surprise, hopefully a good one, that possibly has quite an emotional impact. Work, reputation, money or something you didn't know are likely to be involved. If I could tell you what it will be, it wouldn't be a surprise, would it? |
| 8-07-2006 Monday | Not too much has changed since yesterday except now the Moon is eyeballing that Venus - Mercury conjunction in the natural 4th house of home environment. There is quite a plethora of related themes, all pointing toward conflicting priorities; the need for some changes; issues from the past, possibly of a legal, political or cultural nature affecting something to do with your home environment. Remember that these transits affect everyone so pinpointing exactly how they'll manifest in your life personally is beyond impossible. That Sun - Saturn conjunction is bound to be shining some light on you Capricorns out there. Your creative side is probably brimming with ideas, but you're too busy being responsible with that day job to pursue them. Maybe it's time to slow down a bit and think about it. |
| 8-08-2006 Tuesday | Changes, surprises and unexpected events courtesy of Uranus are still afoot. If you're luck this means no more than the pace is hectic and it's hard to get anything done because too many things keep popping up. Aren't disruptions, interruptions, phone calls out of the blue, some idiot pulling out in front of you on the freeway and such unexpected events? Pluto is still messing with your home environment, which could mean just about anything from unearthing memories or feelings you thought were dead to power trips in your community or even household, to some kind of pestilence. I kid you not. Conflicts between work and more pleasurable pursuits are still out there, also, from that Saturn/Sun conjunction opposite Neptune. Whatever keeps coming back to haunt you has a message. Figure it out. |
| 8-09-2006 Wednesday | Full Moon today in Aquarius, most likely before you get out of bed. It's in the Natural 11th House of friends, groups, hopes and wishes so the emphasis this month is likely to be in that area. To see a more accurate account of what its affect may be on you, see the monthly forecast for your sign. The fact that we have Saturn and Neptune in Opposition and in close conjunction with that Full Moon gives it some extra punch. That ongoing battle between making a living versus what you'd really like to be doing instead is still in force. Today it might come to a conclusion, as Full Moons often signify, meaning you'll either put it aside for a while longer or make a move. The impetus to make a major change is out there at the physical and subconscious level and the aspects are positive, implying that everything will turn out okay. |
| 8-10-2006 Thursday | A few planets have slipped out of the aspects they've been holding for a while, but change is still in the air. So is that conflict between responsibility and idealism, i.e. what you'd be doing for a living in a perfect world. Work related issues have probably been numerous and possibly significant lately. No matter what has been going on, it's likely it hasn't been boring. It's possible that some of you have been having some health problems lately, especially if Mars is one of your personal planets. Accidents are also a possibility. Don't over-estimate yourself or your abilities and be careful. Feelings of affection for those close to you have probably been strong lately. Use it as an opportunity to build stronger bonds with those you care about. Pluto is a loner after stirring up all kinds of things the last week or so. As God of the Underworld, he tends to unearth all sorts of things from the past, not all of which are pleasant, but when all is said and done you're usually a lot wiser. |
| 8-11-2006 Friday | Uranus is still the heavy hitter out there so the hectic pace we've seen lately is going to continue for a while. Some soul searching regarding all the responsibilities in your life is likely or more of it, if that's where you've been lately (sorry.) But then if you haven't solved it yet, maybe it's time you did. The Moon cruising by has probably given it a little additional punch and your emotions and ego are probably having a rather lively conversation. With Mars in Virgo, there should be a lot of energy at work and if that is where this dilemma needs to be solved, then use it to your advantage. On a different note, there is an increased likelihood of accidents with Uranus and Mars in opposition, so be careful. And Pluto and the Moon will probably be messing with something from your past, fleeting though it may be. |
| 8-12-2006 Saturday | The Moon is hooked up with Mercury, which should give your creativity a boost and perhaps inspire some new ideas you can have some fun with. They are likely to have emotional appeal, if nothing else, and have the potential to open up a new opportunity, if you play your cards right. That Sun/Saturn conjunction in opposition to Neptune could give you some of the inspired perseverance and visibility you need with an additional innovative boost from Uranus, Jupiter and Mars. Thus, today is a very favorable day if you have a pet project you're working on, a hobby or career in the arts. If not, then use that energy to get away from it all and have a good time doing something different for a change. Whether it's something outdoors or going to see a movie, you're likely to really get into it and enjoy the break. |
| 8-13-2006 Sunday | That big, green triangle is a Grand Fire Trine tying together the Sun, Moon and Pluto. Since the Sun and Moon belong to all of us as personal planets, we can all expect to get "fired up" in one way or another. We are likely to be thinking of ourselves and what we really want and how we really deserve all those things we've worked for and it just downright isn't fair how the world gets in our way, including all those crappy breaks we've had along the way. Now when stuff like that comes along, you can either call the Wahmbulence or use the energy to make a decision and move on. In order to make your dreams come true you have to have one. Figure out what it is, then quit whining and figure out what it would take to get there. If you don't make it happen then it simply ain't gonna be. |
| 8-14-2006 Monday | Expect a little bit more than the usual emotional punch as the Moon squares off with Venus and Mercury today, possibly because of a clash between something you want and/or need versus either something of a more pleasant nature or perhaps simply back-to-school expenses. Responsibility and the usual ambition is dampened a bit lately with Saturn in Leo. Those two aren't particularly compatible and send out entirely different vibes. It could mean a continued internal argument about whether or not you can afford something versus how badly you want it. You may not get exactly what you want, but compromise on something a bit less expensive, but then not be entirely satisfied. Authority figures are likely to be on your side today, particularly if it involves long distance travel, legal matters or higher education. |
| 8-15-2006 Tuesday | Ouch! That's not a very pleasant looking chart! Everyone is arguing or starting some crap with everyone else out there and even the positive aspects involve malefic planets of one kind or another. The Moon is in just the right spot to interact with four planets as well as the Sun, so expect to be a little more emotional than usual. However, the good news is that at least it's in Taurus, so the emotions will hopefully be imbued with common sense. Accidents are still likely and could include putting your foot in your mouth. With those emotions in high gear, Pluto trining the Sun (implying a power trip) and Jupiter trining Uranus (implying lots of surprises or unexpected events), maybe it's a good day to call in sick. |
| 8-16-2006 Wednesday | Things have calmed down a bit since yesterday, thank heavens (literally), though many of the same themes are out there. Of course if astrological aspects were only in effect for a day we'd rarely have the motivation to really do something significant since most major efforts take much longer. Mental and emotional forensics are out there still as well as conflicts between our dreams and reality. How much are they connected? If you don't think you deserve maybe it's time you figured out why. No one is handing out any easy solutions, but they're there for the taking if you just decide what you really want. If it sounds as if the stars and planets are nagging at you to get your life together, somewhat like a Jewish mother, maybe it's time you listened up and quit acting like a schlemiel. |
| 8-17-2006 Thursday | There's quite a convention going on in Leo these days. Saturn and Mercury aren't particularly happy there, however, and being squared off with Jupiter in fellow Fixed sign, Scorpio, will only compound it. In other words, negotiations, particularly of a financial nature, will probably be difficult with a lot of stubborn pride in the way. Daydreaming is likely to have a strong emotional element and still reflect that ongoing argument between what you want and what you have. Accidents, unexplained illnesses and other unexpected events are still likely, so make sure you're paying attention if those daydreams are in force while you're driving or doing something else where you could get hurt. Happy surprises are possible, also, but make sure you're not too wrapped up in the dilemmas to miss them. |
| 8-18-2006 Friday | Jupiter is throwing some action toward all those planets clustered over in Leo, which has a number of possibilities. You may have found someone that you really like--a lot--and aren't sure how to communicate it in a way that won't make you look like an idiot. Or you may be rationalizing why you desperately need something you really can't quite afford (maybe even that person you have the "hots" for). Creativity vibes are high so those fantasies are probably still taunting you to ditch some or all of your responsibilities. This could be further reinforced by running into someone from your past, either in person or via an excavated memory. You might read about them somewhere, possibly in the obituaries, which will no doubt give you a whole lot to think about. There's a chance that all of this combined might cause a major shift in how you look at things. |
| 8-19-2006 Saturday | Lots of action today which should make for an interesting day. The action in Leo is still in effect and will continue for a few more days. Being a bit self-centered and even arrogant is possible, particularly if you are not basing your position on solid facts. It may be your truth, but others may have a differing opinion. There is usually a price to pay for such displays so think it through before you open your mouth, perhaps to insert your foot. If you handle it properly by keeping your temper and opinion on a leash, you are likely to be perceived in a very positive way. So, if you behave yourself, that Grand Water Trine may bring some positive changes your way that you'll find rather pleasing. In other words, do more listening than talking today and you'll come out ahead. |
| 8-20-2006 Sunday | If your life isn't meeting your expectations these days, you're probably going subterranean trying to figure out why. Digging into your past and some of the choices you made that didn't turn out too well is usually a good place to start. We have a natural tendency to replicate our early home life in one way or another, which can carry on both positive and negative family traits. If you feel as if you deserve better, you're probably right. If you got yourself into this mess, then you should be able to get yourself out, but doing so might leave some wreckage behind. Just make sure that your ideal isn't too unrealistic before you do anything too dramatic. Dreams are good and so is self-knowledge, but don't allow yourself to become too self-absorbed. |
| 8-21-2006 Monday | That convention over in Leo is still in force with the Sun, Moon and three planets residing there. If life has been hectic lately you're not alone and if the extra activities haven't been your idea of fun you're probably ready for some rest and recreation. As summer winds down, that's probably not a bad idea, so you can relax and think about where you are and where you're going. Whatever your dreams and aspirations might be, it's important to factor in who you'd like to share them with. "No one" is an acceptable answer but the $64,000 question is whether or not that is really what you want? Our communications lately have had a lot of "me" in them, but remember that 1 can be the loneliest number. |
| 8-22-2006 Tuesday | Neptune is throwing some major vibes to that cluster of planets over in Leo. Bear in mind that Neptune is all about idealism but conversely delusion and illusion. While you may come up with some fantastic ideas there is a strong possibility that they'll be unrealistic. It okay to keep thinking about change but now is not the time to step out and do something out of character that you haven't thought through in all directions. Planning is good, retrospection is good and even those fantasies are good, but give it a few days at least before you make any major decisions. The Sun will be in Virgo tomorrow which will shift the emphasis to more mundane pursuits, like your health and job. Not always fun to think about, I know, but you're really not ready yet to blow them both off, either. |
| 8-23-2006 Wednesday (New Moon) | New Moon and new Sun Sign today as the Sun enters Virgo, the Natural House of work, health and pets. Thus, you may experience an emphasis in these areas during the next thirty days until the Sun enters Libra. Be especially careful of accidents as Pluto and Mars gradually close into a square. Other possibilities are power trips, especially in the work place, or other similar confrontations where either you or someone else could come on just a wee bit stronger than necessary. You're probably still looking out for yourself a bit more than necessary, or at least coming across that way, then wonder why people seem to be avoiding you. You may have to clarify to yourself or someone in your life how you really feel about them, particularly if they're feeling neglected. New Moons signify new beginnings, so make this one a good one. |
| 8-24-2006 Thursday Thursday | As planetary distributions go, that one is sure far from even. The Sun, Moon and 8 primary planets occupy only 6, or half, of the available signs. However, there is no need to feel left out because the aspects are still there so their energy is being distributed nonetheless. Jupiter is eyeing Venus over there in Leo, which could generate a bit of romance or other pleasantries, though Saturn is right there, too, acting as a chaperone to assure common sense is in there, too. Neptune, planet of fantasies and illusions, is messing with both Saturn and Venus, however, so that common sense might not be strong enough to make much difference. Something in your subconscious is trying to be heard that might be different than what was there in the past. Confused? It gets worse: Mix in that Mars square Pluto for a power trip or possible mishap and it ought to be an interesting day! |
| 8-25-2006 Friday | The Sun is left out of the astrological games, for today and a few more to come. Nonetheless, it could be aspecting something in your Natal Chart so it's not like he's on vacation. The planetary distribution is still quite lopsided with numerous empty signs. Based on the pattern, any children born at this time will be determined and ambitious and will likely be an agent of change in their world. Arguments are likely today, perhaps about the forbidden topics among friends of politics and religion. Thoughts of the various world events you've seen in your lifetime may be on your mind and trigger the conversation. Romance could still be in the air, unless that controversial conversation becomes the topic du jour. Not a good idea if you really want that budding relationship to go somewhere! |
| 8-26-2006 Saturday | Today should see some deep conversations and don't be surprised if a few facts emerge that have been undercover for quite sometime. Accidents are still likely, not necessarily anything dramatic, but possibly, so be careful. At the least something requiring a bandaid or an ace bandage will occur before that Mars square Pluto goes away. Have you done anything yet about that idyllic life you'd like to have someday? Whether sooner or later, you won't get there at all if you don't plot the way and take the first step. It may only be a daydream, but if you really make up your mind it could become reality. Windfalls are possible, especially if you have a birthday around the first week of July, but as most of us know, the only one you can really count on is yourself. |
| 8-27-2006 Sunday | If you didn't take my advice yesterday about taking those first steps toward your fondest dreams, today you might actually decide to do so. Significant changes seldom come through logic alone, but require an emotional commitment and that's exactly what the Moon is probably doing for you today. Being idealistic in your plans isn't necessarily a bad thing as long as you know what it will take in the way of effort to get there. Just because you decide you want it doesn't mean the Universe will agree or hand it to you on a silver platter. However, once you make up your mind chances are opportunities will arise you never dreamed would occur and if you keep your eyes open you'll be able to find your way. Still be wary of accidents but go ahead and do the math on what it will take to create your ideal reality. |
| 8-28-2006 Monday | Chances are good that you might be a little more self-centered than usual today and not listen very well. Just make sure before you tune someone out that it's not something you really need to hear, even as a courtesy. Some kind of unexpected event or change is still likely and probably a good one, even if it's only a sudden change in your attitude. However, with benefic Jupiter involved over there in Scorpio, the Natural House of other people's money, a windfall is certainly possible, perhaps through an inheritance. Keep up the vigilance against accidents as that Mars square Pluto continues to close in. Other possibilities are increased aggression or power trips, especially at work. Someone may have something to hide, possibly a big mistake, and be willing to defend themselves in a forceful manner if required. |
| 8-29-2006 Tuesday | If you're one of those people who tends to be a bit too responsible, today is a good day to lighten up. No matter how many things you have to do or worry about, try to indulge yourself in some small way. If there is something that is not going too well in your life right now, you'll probably find that it's bothering you more than usual today and tend to obsess on it. Communications should go well today, however, so it's a good time to make phone calls, write letters or emails, give presentations, or any other activity where you need to express yourself clearly. Harness that frustration and take steps today to solve it, whatever it is. There are some big challenges and changes afoot these days but remember the best way to eat an elephant is one bite at a time. |
| 8-30-2006 Wednesday | Changes and surprises are out there today and could involve someone from your past, probably a female authority figure of some kind, like a former teacher or other professional that you had dealings with. Now is a good time to pay considerable attention to details. If you don't, they will surely bite you later. Be sure to read the fine print, ask questions and don't take anything for granted, no matter how many times you've done it before, or how familiar you think you are with the entire process. Be wary of mistakes and accidents of all kinds. Do your best not to become too emotionally involved in something that you shouldn't be taking personally. Remember that it's foolish to take offense when none is intended. |
| 8-31-2006 Thursday | There's a lot of red out there today, including a T-square with numerous oppositions and squares. The positive aspects, however, are quite nice, and indicate positive vibes from the past with a creative flair and big changes that you'll ultimately like a lot. Responsibilities are a bit dim these days as Saturn slogs through Leo. They're not entirely dismissed, but perhaps put in a different perspective, not entirely bad. However, don't let pipe dreams smother common sense. It's important to maintain a sense of balance and realize that you can't ever have everything that you want, especially at someone else's expense. Change is good if it means personal growth, but if it means using someone else to attain your goals it will eventually bite you in the form of karmic debt. |
| 9-01-2006 Friday | Ouch! Lots of red out there today. Not a very nice way to start a new month. Four T-squares out there which are likely to trigger a few conflicts. Your responsibilities, at least the diluted version, are possibly losing that argument with your dreams. You may be to the point that you don't care what it takes, you're going to make it happen. Just be aware that Neptune is retrograde, which often causes delusions, so make sure you have your facts straight. This is particularly important if you decide to force the issue. You aren't very likely to listen to anyone else's opinion and you're ready to make those changes NOW. You're likely to get a little emotional about it, too. Remember accidents are still a possibility so don't drive if you're all riled up. A fortunate surprise is also possible today as well as running into someone from your past, perhaps an old friend or previous lover. |
| 9-02-2006 Saturday | Today should be a good day for conveying ideas and information. You should be well-perceived, especially if you include sufficient detail for your intended audience to establish that you know what you're talking about. You're likely to have something unexpected occur, however, that could be disconcerting in some way, whether it's transportation problems, a crashed computer or perhaps even a heckler of some kind when you're trying to get your point across. There will be a lot of emotional energy out there today that you need to be sure to use in a positive way. Take care that you don't come on too strong because if you do you might turn off the people that could be of the most assistance. |
| 9-03-2006 Sunday | A surprise or two may interrupt your plans today, but generally there are lots of good things going on. The Moon, symbol of females in general and your mother or wife in particular, is really connecting nicely with numerous planets. Thus, a significant woman in your life may surprise you with some good news. This is likely to be much more important than a sale at Walmart and something that will affect your life in a big way. Jupiter, which signifies expansion, is really tied in there as well. Male-female discussions should go fairly well today, also. We'll all be able to express ourselves from the heart and thus build trust and affection across numerous boundaries. If this doesn't seem to be shaping up, then take a hard look at your priorities and see whether you're missing something or cutting yourself off. There's some good things going on out there today but you need to be able to recognize it when it comes your way. |
| 9-04-2006 Monday | There are still a lot of good vibes going on so this should be a reasonably good day. A good mood is likely, not a silly "hahaha" type of mood, but confidence in yourself and your ability to make good decisions. You may have to justify your position regarding a somewhat emotional issue that involves someone close to you. Ideas should flow well and be understood, even if they're slightly darkened by past experiences. With the Sun strolling through Virgo, the Natural 6th House of work, health and pets, there is likely to be an emphasis on one or more of these areas. Virgos also tend to be detail-oriented and critical of both self and others. This will reflect on all of us a little so use that energy in a constructive way, to get things in order and perhaps get started on a fitness regimen. |
| 9-05-2006 Tuesday | The Moon and Neptune are getting pretty cozy over there in Aquarius today and connecting with more than half of their Zodiacal buddies. This will put an emotional, idealistic, and possibly deluded spin on everything. Life has been pretty topsy-turvy lately and today is no exception. Everyone is doing a lot of talking but not much listening, which doesn't bring out the best in anyone. There are a lot of egocentric people out there with a defensive "me first" attitude that will raise everyone's blood pressure a notch or two. You may be tired of things going wrong and being walked on, but the truth of the matter that everyone probably feels about the same way. Jupiter is making it worse by feeding that cosmic ego trip and disputing what's left of your sense of responsibility. The long weekend may have helped some, but lightening up all around will probably make you feel a lot better. It won't exactly hurt those around you, either. Try being the bigger person and see what happens. |
| 9-06-2006 Wednesday | You may find people that you usually hang out with are getting on your nerves today, but you can't quite figure out why much less explain your grumpy mood, even to yourself. Their faults just seem to stand out more than usual and you may even be telling yourself how much better you are than them. Before you scrap your entire social network, however, maybe you'd better take care of your own recto-cranial inversion. Give yourself credit where credit's due, but give yourself a kick in the butt when it's needed, too. If you're life is perfect then you're probably not reading this anyway. If you are, then take a long, hard look in the mirror. Look yourself in the eye and be honest with yourself about who and what you are, then work down from there. With the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars all in Virgo, House of work, health and pets, there's no better time for a personal overhaul. If a brain transplant is out of the question then at least start that diet! |
| 9-07-2006 Thursday | Full Moon today and, considering what's out there, there's likely to be a lot of whining going on. Petty gripes and grousing will be a dime a dozen and it will consume your thoughts so much that you probably won't even notice that you're doing it as much as everyone else. Rather, you'll think the entire human race has gone to hell in a hand basket and not hesitate to say so. If you're honest with yourself, however, you'll probably be able to admit that you don't like yourself much lately, either. Rather than imposing yourself on others, spend some time alone today thinking about where you've been and where you're going. Or are you really sitting still? The good news is that a few days ago Pluto came out of retrograde, so if you felt stuck in the mud for the past few months, you might finally be able to get out of the swamp and move on. Pluto is probably pretty unimpressed about being demoted to a dwarf planet. You, on the other hand, would probably do well to rectify areas where you've been a mental midget. |
| 9-08-2006 Friday | The grousing is probably still knee deep today and possibly escalating to a full-blown bad mood. No matter how noble you try to be, chances are you just can't help yourself. You're really not doing anyone a favor pointing out their every fault and how they need to change. But if you must, at least be fair and include yourself and your own shortcomings in the conversation. Being Friday should help some, but if you indulge in Happy Hour tonight, do everyone a giant favor and go in there armed with lots of jokes that put down people you DO NOT KNOW. Rag on people who deserve Darwin Awards, people in the news who are a few fries short of a Happy Meal, whomever is on the cover of People Magazine, whoever, but get it out of your system in a way that won't cause hurt feelings or arguments that will be difficult to undo later. Trust me. |
| 9-09-2006 Saturday | Today you are likely to find yourself more critical than usual about the world situation or other social views and compulsively expressing your opinion to anyone who will listen including people that really don't give a flip. You're likely to be a bit emotional and headstrong in trying to defend your point of view today as well. Just make sure that you're basing your opinion on reality and not simply some idealistic dream world that doesn't exist. Reminders of events and people from your past or situations that had a deep impact on your life are also likely. You may have thought you'd forgotten them, or at least tried to, but suddenly a reminder comes along in one form or another. You may have missed the lesson back then, but maybe now you're a little older and wiser and can figure it out. |
| 9-10-2006 Sunday | Thoughts and memories, some of them dark and unpleasant, could surface today along with a cadre of emotions you thought you'd buried long ago. Today is a good day to think long and hard about where you've been and where you're headed coupled with whether or not your current destination is really where you want to be a few years down the road. Major changes in your attitude are possible from the deepest level if you'll muster the courage to face the consequences of your past decisions and commit to being less of an idiot in the future. Being responsible doesn't have to be unpleasant, especially when it will ultimately get you where you want to go. You may not be able to change the things around you but you can always change what's inside of you. Start there and the rest will follow. |
| 9-11-2006 Monday | Considering what today is, even if we were all entirely immune to the influence of the stars and planets we would probably still be in a deep and somber mood. And wouldn't you know it, our Zodiacal friends are pretty much in the same place. At least Pluto is relatively benign, other than stirring up a few thoughts from the past. These are likely to include rumblings regarding how much irresponsibility there is these days on both the individual and political level. I'll bet you have at least one conversation today along the theme "If everyone would just take care of themselves and not depend on others, especially the government, things would be so much better." To say nothing of live and let live. The world has changed a lot the last decade or two with much of it less than good. All in all, expect a mixed bag of musings today even if you don't look at the calendar and remember. |
| 9-12-2006 Tuesday | Today you're likely to be thinking about various elements of your past and remembering all sorts of things you hadn't thought about in a long time. These memories are likely to relate to your childhood, where you grew up, your siblings and parents, particularly your mother. If she's still alive, you're likely to want to talk to her. It sure is an imperfect world out there and it probably doesn't conform at all with the expectations you brought into adulthood. You're likely to be a bit more outspoken than usual today and you need to make an effort to be tactful, especially if you usually aren't. "Calling 'em like you see 'em" is likely, but that's usually not a very popular pastime. Those changes you want to make versus the pricetags they bear are still vying for attention. Your eye for details these days is better than usual so just make sure you look at all angles before making a decision. |
| 9-13-2006 Wednesday | Chances are you'll be facing a dilemma or two today. One will be that same-old, same-old decision you've been wrestling with for several weeks now relative to your dreams versus responsibilities. The other will be related to another change you'd like to make that has a strong emotional drive behind it. If you're bored with your life or perhaps with a relationship, you'll be thinking about it pretty hard today. You feel generally optimistic about your ability to change your life and circumstances and may have a bit of a do or die attitude. Don't make any decisions today, particularly with regard to the second item because tomorrow you're likely to feel entirely differently. Now with the weather cooling off a bit is a good time to start a fitness program of some sort. If you have a lot of frustration to work off, it is probably as healthy a way as any to deal with it. |
| 9-14-2006 Thursday | Memories are still profuse, particularly some that had a deep impact on your life. Topics could be your first job, your first pet or possibly that time you were really sick and Aunt Ethel brought over some chicken soup. It may seem as if things were must simpler in the past but chances are you were simply less aware than you are now. You values are likely to be readjusting and shifting your focus from where it was a year or so ago. It's important to be successful, but there are other aspects of life that yield more satisfaction than your paycheck. The trick is to balance it all in a manner that allows you to have time and energy for the things that really matter. You're likely to be direct but fair in you conversations today, even those you have with yourself. Listen carefully and consider taking your own advice. You might like the results. |
| 9-15-2006 Friday | Try not to be too hard on those you care about today. This would be the natural inclination with the Sun and Venus in Virgo, a sign which is detail oriented as well as critical. Changes and surprises are likely on various fronts, which will cause some irritation and perhaps a tendency to be too judgmental. This could be emotional surprises as opposed to physical ones, where someone simply has a melt down that you're not expecting. Being blind-sided usually puts us on the defensive, but if you give it some thought you should be able to achieve a sense of fairness by seeing both sides. Talking it out is favored, since you'll probably be very direct, perhaps saying things that you normally wouldn't. This will be a good thing as long as you're both honest and worry more about working it out than winning. |
| 9-16-2006 Saturday | That Cancer Moon is probably dishing out some more memories perhaps from quite a while ago. It's always good to reflect on where we've been and how it relates to where we are now. Were you happier then? You may think you were since we tend to forget what we don't want to remember. Be honest, though, and put those memories into full context. If you're finding a lot of fault with those close to you these days you may be thinking hard about making a change of some sort. Just make sure you're doing the right thing for the right reason. We're still likely to be more direct than usual and perhaps a little too aggressive so make sure to incorporate some tact unless you want to clean up the fallout later. Power trips are probably occurring these days more than usual, also. The question is who's the tripper and who's the trippee. |
| 9-17-2006 Sunday | Today is likely to be a lazy day so take advantage of it. Things have been hectic lately all around and you can use the rest. Furthermore the Moon is void of course the better part of the day so nothing much is likely to come to fruition anyway. You should be thinking fairly clearly these days, which should help you sift through the data you've been gathering about where you are with your life and where you may want to go. Relationships have been strained lately so maybe you need to think about changes that need to be made in that department. Before you can fix it, however, you need to figure out what the problem is. If things are going well and you're happy where you are, just wait, it will catch up with you sooner or later. |
| 9-18-2006 Monday | That's a pretty busy chart which will affect numerous areas, many of which will be fairly emotional since the Moon is heavily involved. If that unrest that's been bothering you hasn't been resolved yet it will most likely make a comeback of some kind. You're likely to have a hard time making any decisions because there are just too many options with none of them clearly the right choice. Indecision can affect your energy level so don't be surprised if you're not very ambitious and would rather just take a nap. If you're creative these abilities may be particularly enhanced which could provide a productive outlet for that frustration. If you don't already have some sort of hobby or outlet for these energies now might be a good time to find one. If nothing else, buy a new music CD or DVD you've been thinking about. |
| 9-19-2006 Tuesday | Someone or something from your past will come to mind today which may cause some deep reflections. It could come about in a rather odd but natural way, like just happening to come across an old photo album or seeing someone that reminds you of a person you once knew. You may also have some interesting or innovative ideas that you'll want to capture in some way so as not to forget it before you can work on it later. If you haven't started that fitness program you may want to soon. With the Sun in Virgo, the Natural House of work, health and pets, such activities are favored. Once the Sun slips into Libra your focus is more likely to be on relationships so if you don't get started soon it may not happen for a while and the holidays are just around the corner. |
| 9-20-2006 Wednesday | There could be some surprising news out there today or perhaps you'll be the one providing some bit of news to someone else that they're not expecting. Whatever it happens to be it will have a considerable emotional impact and if you're at fault in some way you're likely to have to explain yourself. Do your best to be fair as opposed to defensive and you're more likely to get your point across. If you're in a relationship or would like to be, you may be inclined toward some unrealistic expectations today. If you express them someone will most likely call you on it and you'll have to defend your rationale. That's easier said than done, especially for matters of the heart which by their very nature defy logic. Thus don't pour it on too thick or make promises you can't keep that will bite you later. |
| 9-21-2006 Thursday | You may find yourself trying to express how you feel to someone today but either can't describe it very well or have to justify your every word. There may be a few shades of a power struggle in work which certainly isn't going to help. Before you even open your mouth, think about what you want to say, maybe even write it down and read it out loud, to make sure it's an accurate representation of what you're trying to say. If it's important and you want the other person to listen, whether it's your boss, spouse, love interest or whomever, do everything you can to keep from putting them on the defensive. This won't be easy, especially if you truly believe you're right, but it doesn't really look like a very good day to do much convincing. Women are likely to be a bit hormonal today so don't say I didn't warn you. |
| 9-22-2006 Friday Full Moon | New Moon this morning which will usher in a new beginning somewhere in your life. On this last day of the Sun's stay in Virgo it could manifest itself in either your job, something to do with your job, or if you're an animal lover, even be the day you get a new pet of some kind. You may feel as if your ambition is pretty low these days. Don't worry about it and enjoy the rest because it will come back in due time. Maybe it's time to shift your focus if you've been obsessing on something lately that hasn't been resolved. The best solutions usually come to mind when we're thinking of something else and we allow our subconscious to do the work. Other than the ongoing theme of dreams versus reality with its attendant frustrations, today should be a fairly good day. |
| 9-23-2006 Saturday | The Sun slipped into Libra today and has quite a bit of company there, i.e. Mars, the Moon and Mercury. This should promote a fairly mellow feeling that includes a sense of fairness along with the capability to hear people out and perhaps actually understand their side of an issue, even if you don't agree. There are some definite vibes of idealism out there as well, so if you have someone in your life that you need to make peace with, today is a good day to do it. On the other hand, there's a lot of emotional energy out there today. This, coupled with a misunderstanding or two, could precipitate a meltdown or other action on your part that could cause you to act out of character to do something that surprises those around you, maybe even yourself. Try to work some logic into your thoughts, even though this will probably require a concerted effort on your part. You'll be glad you did. |
| 9-24-2006 Sunday |
An encounter with someone or something from your past is likely today, possibly related to your mother or other significant female in your life. This is likely to produce a mixed bag of good and not so good that has an emotional effect you may not be prepared for. You may have to defend some previous action or comment you made and chances are you're not going to remember it nearly as well as the other person. This may relate to the other encounter but not necessarily. None of our days are entirely static, with different situations and emotions occurring throughout our waking hours and even into our dreams at night, where these transits can also have an effect. Today looks like a good day to look at your investments or assess your finances so consider calling your stock broker or financial advisor as applicable. |
| 9-25-2006 Monday |
There's a good chance you'll get a happy surprise of some sort today, maybe even a windfall. It's likely to come out of the blue in a very unexpected way and perhaps relate to your past in some way. Your imagination should be in high gear, which will be especially beneficial for creative writers or those involved in other forms of art such as music or even painting. If these are one of your hobbies, take some time today to see what you can do. Maybe that happy surprise mentioned earlier will be as the result of your own talent. Discussions related to practical matters should go well, that creative flair possibly helping you to come up with some new ways to ensure your future security or move forward in your career. You may spend some time ruminating on the somewhat sordid details of a past relationship, but don't let it ruin what generally looks like a pretty good day. |
| 9-26-2006 Tuesday | Today you're likely to encounter some memories or thoughts of the past that may not be particularly pleasant. Your reaction is likely to be emotional, perhaps more so than usual, and surprise even you. In fact, you could simply be more emotional than usual and not even recognize why. Possible areas of contemplation include past relationships either with family members, a close friend or perhaps a lover or even financial entanglements. Feel free to talk about it with one of your trusted friends since this may help you to find its source and discover what you're supposed to learn from it. Any revelation you may have as a result will probably be a bit of a surprise but bring you to a better understanding of who and what you are. |
| 9-27-2006 Wednesday | Be extra careful today with any purchases or business dealings you may have. There is a good chance that someone could try to fool you in some way or attempt to sell you something that isn't everything they claim it to be. You may have to justify your position on something as you come under pressure to change you mind. Perhaps you're not being entirely fair or at least you'll be accused of it, causing you to do some major introspection. With the Sun in Libra we'll all be looking at both sides of various issues these days with decisions a little harder to make than usual. Relationships could be stumbling over the past a bit or there might be a power struggle or two going on as well. This will improve in a few days when Venus slips into Libra and is out of range of Pluto, who is still probably pouting over his demotion to a Dwarf Planet. |
| 9-28-2006 Thursday | Sorting out something from your past is probably still on your mind today and you may have a hard time determining all the key factors, what they mean and how you feel about them. Something may keep nagging at you to be fair when you really don't want to be but try to at least understand all sides of the issue even if you don't agree with them. Changes on the psychological level are probably in work and your plans or aspirations for the future may come under scrutiny, perhaps through no choice of your own. There could be some interesting developments at work that relate to the past with a few facts coming to the surface that either reveal some kind of power play or other covert action that isn't particularly enchanting. |
| 9-29-2006 Friday | If you haven't had a close encounter yet with something from your past you probably will today. It could be related to college days or perhaps a trip abroad and the experience most likely conveyed a lesson or two about life. This memory could surface in the natural course of a conversation or perhaps while reading a newspaper or magazine. Relationships may be a bit strained these days with others' faults a bit more pronounced than usual. Try not to act too "holier than thou", however, because your consort might find some equally vexing characteristics of yours to throw back in your face. Talking things through is favored, however, but remember you can't force perfection, particularly in others. |
| 9-30-2006 Saturday | If your heart and your head are engaged in an argument about something, today is probably not a good day to settle it. However, it is a good time to look at all sides of the issue, particularly the practical angles, and gather information. Try not to be too idealistic or expect too much, from yourself or others. Something unexpected may arise but it should benefit you in the long run. Your patience may be running a little thin, but try to suck it up the best you can because you run the risk of irritating the people who can help you achieve some of those goals you have in mind. It's a good time to talk about those relationship issues that have been brewing as the chances of working them out are quite positive. |
| 10-01-2006 Sunday | The Moon is still in Capricorn, which should be throwing some career and community standing vibes around for all. If you're dissatisfied with where you are in life right now, there's no time like the present to figure out how to dig yourself out. Lessons from the past, particularly the difficult ones, may help your decision if you consider them with a more mature attitude than when you experienced them. If you're thinking of doing any investing, don't do so on a whim. Make sure that all the facts are solid and not wishful thinking. There are a lot of planets hanging out in Libra these days, which should throw some strong emphasis on relationship issues, particularly of the male-female variety. Speak and listen with your heart engaged and you may see some distinct improvements. |
| 10-02-2006 Monday | The past month or two there has been a lot of emphasis on doing what you really want to do in life and having the courage to make it happen. Of course if you don't know what that particular aspiration happens to be, you probably haven't made much progress moving toward it, eh? So if you don't know anything more than that you're not happy where you are, now is a good time to give it some serious, logical thought as well as conducting some serious soul searching. What hard lessons from the past will you have to repeat for not learning it the first time? What are you missing? What are you afraid to change? Do you think that simply wanting something isn't enough justification, that perhaps you're not worth it? Whatever your hang-up happens to be, it's really time to just git 'r' done. |
| 10-03-2006 Tuesday | There are probably a lot of conflicting emotions out there today with you perhaps clinging to one way of life while really wanting something else. You're probably still trying to justify what you want, even to yourself. What you need to figure out if whether or not the two or more choices are really mutually exclusive or not. Maybe having your cake and eating it, too, isn't entirely out of the question. Old memories are still surfacing at a heavier than usual rate as well, particularly as they relate to responsibilities. Think them through objectively to find the lesson. On the relationship front there is a lot of male-female emphasis right now with the Sun, Mars and Venus all hanging out in Libra. Guys especially might be a bit inclined toward idealism and fantasy which is certainly entertaining but don't expect it to match reality in the long run. |
| 10-04-2006> Wednesday | The ability to communicate your thoughts and feelings should be quite favorable today and there is likely to be quite a bit of emotion behind them. This will call for a lot of listening with your heart instead of your head, but understanding ought to fairly easy. This does not necessarily mean that you'll agree but hopefully you'll be able to at least know where the other person is coming from. Saturn, Jupiter and Neptune are in a T-square and have been for a while since they're all outer planets and move quite slowly. This is what is putting so much emphasis on what you have versus what you really want and the many changes that are happening all over. Pluto is also contributing to this mix and dredging up past thoughts and memories to help with your decisions. Remember that these transits affect everyone but in slightly different ways. Nonetheless, the themes will be similar. |
| 10-05-2006 Thursday | The Moon and Pluto are going at it again, dredging up visions of the past. Flashbacks could appear from nowhere or memories could simply rise to the surface in the natural course of events and conversation. Delusions are possible as well, and could involve your social circle. Make sure that you keep alert for someone trying to deceive you in some way. You may have some trouble justifying where you'd like to go with your life with all those responsibilities looming over your head. Nonetheless, a revelation of some sort could provide a change of heart that pushes you in a different direction. The Sun, Venus and Mars are all in Libra, Universal 7th House of relationships. You don't have to be a rocket scientist or even an astrologer to figure out that's throwing some major male-female vibes out there as well which will last the better part of October. Expect Fireworks. |

10-06-2006
Friday
Full Moon |
Full Moon today in Aries and an interesting one it should be with all those planets in Libra. Looks like a lot sexual energy to me, especially considering Libra is the Zodiac's House of relationships and we have both male Mars and female Venus snuggling up with the Sun. Woo woo! If you're in a compatible relationship things are likely to go very well; if it's volatile, a blow-up is likely. Bottom line, male-female relations, sexual and otherwise, will be intense. Retrograde Neptune is probably still throwing some delusions around and generally warping the truth, most likely relative to relationship issues. Not to worry, he goes posigrade on the 29th so hold off any big decisions in that arena until then. You may have an entirely different opinion when all the facts are in. |
| 10-07-2006 Saturday | Grand Fire Trine today between the Moon, Pluto and Saturn. Usually Grand Trines tend to be fairly positive, but in this case I'm not so sure when two malefic planets and the emotional Moon are involved. It smells a lot like Teen Spirit. Just kidding. Actually, it smells a lot like some kind of encounter or power struggle with an authority figure. If this comes up in the course of your day, good luck. Males, in particular may be a bit head-strong today so watch your temper. Also keep a firm grip on reality. Females aren't off the hook, either, with a tendency to be a bit more changeable than usual and defensive about it, too. It could also be a less-than-enchanting encounter with the past. Surprising news or an unexpected event of some sort is also likely today. Hopefully it won't be a visit to the local lock-up for you or someone you know. |
| 10-08-2006 Sunday | Surprises or news of unexpected events are still likely today, but hopefully of a positive nature. Trying to communicate what you feel may be a bit of a challenge, however, as you may get more emotional than usual, especially if you're female. If you're wanting to change something in your life, you're probably going to have to provide a very air-tight argument to get it others to buy into it. And getting emotional will probably not provide the argument they're looking for. Regardless of how enthusiastic you may be about your ideas and regardless of how good they seem to you, make sure that they're based on solid ground and not downright delusional. If authority figures are involved, they're probably still in control, like it or not, so behave accordingly. |
| 10-09-2006 Monday | If you take a look at the transit chart for today, you don't have to be a trained astrologer to see something is up. That big red square with the "X" in the middle is called a Grand Cross and not a very pleasant aspect as a rule. Luckily one component is the Moon, which moves quickly so it won't last long. At any rate, conflicts are the order of the day. Emotions will be running in high gear so chances are things that would usually not bother you will today. You're likely to feel very stymied in your efforts, that the entire universe is not on your side. And today it's probably not. There is a lot of deception out there as well as actual delusions, some of which are self-imposed. Don't believe everything you see and hear or even think. Instead, learn from the past. |
| 10-10-2006 Tuesday | Wow. Except for that persistent T-Square that's a very favorable looking chart. That male-female stuff we've been talking about should be very favorable today with the only possible glitch being a slight overdose of idealism. If you meet someone today that you think is perfect, enjoy it while it lasts. You may think that's you're pretty hot-stuff, too, which could be equally delusional LOL. That's OK, we all need a day now and then when we feel good about ourselves. Today is a good day to do something to indulge yourself or to even do something extravagant, including falling in love. Take your honey somewhere to watch the sunset or enjoy nature in some other setting, have a nice meal in a quiet restaurant and then enjoy some good music. Expressing your feelings is favored, too, even though they may take the other person by surprise (or even you). |
| 10-11-2006 Wednesday | Today is another generally positive day with the possible exception of tripping over some emotionally-charged issue from your past that may have had a life-changing effect on your psyche. This could even be keeping you from moving forward and enjoying some of the positive vibes being generated right now. Favorable relationship opportunities are still out there, though you need to make sure you have both eyes wide open so as not to make any rash decisions. Nonetheless, now is a good time to make a well-thought-out commitment on some long-standing issue, since there should be plenty of data available plus you should have the motivation required to see it through. There's a lot of opportunity for personal advancement today. All you have to do is talk yourself into it. |
| 10-12-2006 Thursday | It's hard to figure what a usually-favorable sextile pattern with three generally malefic planets, i.e. Pluto, Mars and Saturn, will bring. Of course some of the most useful lessons we have in life are those that aren't exactly pleasant at the time. Nonetheless, this one is bursting with energy and seems to indicate moving on based on something you've learned in the past and perhaps finally figured out and internalized. It looks like a good day to socialize with your friends, particularly those of the female variety. Leave the rose-colored glasses at home, however, and don't take everything you hear to heart. Windfalls are possible today, but it may not be of a monetary nature. Instead it might be a jewel of wisdom that you need to recognize and heed to save yourself a lot of trouble later. |
| 10-13-2006 Friday | Today is likely to have many flavors and I'm not even going mention the date. If you're a creative type, it looks like a good day to get some inspiration that will enhance your self-expression regardless of what your medium happens to be. If you're still trying to figure out where you'd like to go with your life, there are some vibes out there that should definitely help. Sort through the past as it relates to the present, including any responsibilities you find particularly onerous, and do the math. Speaking from the heart is favored generally, which could also involve explaining where you're coming from to someone that has been giving you some grief lately. The entire dialog could be triggered by another dig that hits a nerve, but if you concentrate on explaining how you feel and not trying to rip this person a new one, no matter how deserving, you're likely to make some progress. |
| 10-14-2006 Saturday | Inspiration and dreams are still active today, but be careful that you recognize where fantasies end and reality begins. You should be slightly less emotionally involved with your aspirations today than the last day or two so be sure to perform a reality check on your goals before doing anything rash. Don't believe everything you hear and make sure you understand what people are really saying versus what you want to hear. The Sun, Venus and Mars are still cruising along in Libra which will be influencing male-female relationships for quite a while. It could also be giving you the urge to beautiful your surroundings in some way. There could also be some surprises out there or possibly a change or two that you'll actually like once you get used to it. |
| 10-15-2006 Sunday | You're likely to be a bit prone to wishful thinking today, even to the point of getting huffy about it. Whatever changes you're hoping for to straighten out your life are not likely to come on a whim but through hard work on your part to change the biggest obstacle to your success--you. Hang-ups past and present are probably everywhere you look, but if you're honest with yourself you'll find the strength, energy and inspiration you need to get out of your rut. If that rut happens to be a relationship, now is a good time to work on that, also. Those male-female vibes out there are real and will help push you in the proper direction. If you belong together you'll know it and conversely if you don't you'll know that, too. Good luck. |
| 10-16-2006 Monday | Thoughts of your mother may surface today in the context of some past event that may not have seemed significant at the time though now that you're older and wiser you can see that it had more affect on your life than you realized. It may relate to that moment when you realized that your mother was human and more imperfect than you'd imagined. Regardless of what the context was or its seriousness, remember the old adage, "No life is ever wasted--you can always serve as a bad example." How have you been using that male-female relationship energy in Libra, the natural Zodiacal House of relationships? Configurations like this don't come along that often so make the most of it. If you take off those rose-colored glasses you may realize that things really don't that bad without them after all. |
| 10-17-2006 Tuesday | If your life and environment is stable right now you're probably a space alien of some sort who is driven by different energies than those in our Zodiac. If you look at today's transits you'll see that Uranus, planet of change and unexpected events, is definitely leading the pack over there in Pisces. This is nothing new, has been going on for sometime and will likewise continue for a while so this is just a reminder. Getting your ideas across may be a challenge, partly because imagination is dominating logic these days. As a note to the women and possible warning to the guys, the females have a bit of an advantage these days. Those memories that are surfacing aren't necessarily bad but they're not superficial, either. It would be to your advantage to figure out their significance. 'nuff said. |
| 10-18-2006 Wednesday | That stellium comprising the Sun, Venus and Mars is still in a cosmic group hug over there in Libra. It's a fairly good bet that something has been going on for you relationship-wise though it's probably not exactly a bed of roses, either. Something from the past is undoubtedly haunting you persistently and there are probably other obstacles as well. These could be related to either your career, responsibilities toward children or aging parents, or some other contract or obligation that continues to throw itself in your path. Your determination to fulfill these tasks or goals may border on obsession but your ability to really explain how you feel about it all is probably somewhat compromised. There are no easy answers today anymore than there were yesterday so about all you can do is hang in there. |
| 10-19-2006 Thursday | Most likely there is a lot going on in your mind today, so much so that it's difficult to express. It all ties in, overlaps and muddles together in such a way that serial modes of communication simply won't do it. Past baggage may be making a reappearance as well, which could be an unwelcome distraction. This is slightly different that memories. What I mean here is dealing with a situation in the same way as you always have in the past which has proven to be ineffective. What do you need to do to avoid continually tripping over that same trench? The male-female thing is still in force, stronger than ever, and memories are very likely profuse. Think about why you chose to remember them and if you've figured out yet why they're important. |
| 10-20-2006 Friday | There's a whole lot of energy in Libra today with the Moon adding to that Sun-Venus-Mars stellium that's been there for weeks. This is likely to give that male-female dialog that's been emphasized lately a final emotional punch. Listen carefully if you haven't been able to decide what to do because it's very likely that your heart is going to jump into the conversation, invited or not. Communications are likely to be extensive today and on serious topics. Give yourself some credit and some accolades for how far you've progressed and be sure to factor your increased wisdom and abilities into any decisions you may be making. Today could be an important turning point if you just pay attention. This is particularly applicable if you're an Aries, Taurus or Libra. |
| 10-21-2006 Saturday | You may find yourself on the opposite side of the fence from some authority figure today. The ability to keep your temper and turn on the charm is favored, however, if you'll just do your part. Power struggles are inevitable throughout life and the main thing is to learn to choose your battles. I'm talking to you, Aries, because with the Sun and Mars, your ruling planet, in conjunction, you're likely to be feeling your Cheerios, perhaps a bit too much. Same goes for you, Taurus, with your ruler, Venus, right there as well. However, if you're an Aries or a Taurus AND the authority figure in question, you're likely to have a very good day! Get those relationship issues settled yet? The clock is ticking. When that planetary trio slides into Scorpio in a couple of days there will be entirely different vibes. |

10-22-2006
Sunday New Moon |
New Moon today and to see what effect it's likely to have on you, see the monthly horoscope for your sign. That's a lot of energy in one place further imbued by a huge shot of emotion. New Moons usually signify new beginnings and which area of your life it's likely to affect is dependent on which House it falls in. Generally speaking, since this activity is in Libra, it's going to relate to relationships of some kind. These could be friendships, romantic interests or business partnerships, but more than likely this next month you'll see some new activity in those areas. There could be some big news coming your way, possibly even related to a windfall or inheritance of some sort. Conversely, you may be handing over a chunk of money yourself, so guard your resources. |
| 10-23-2006 Monday | There's a regular entourage in Scorpio, folks, with Venus about to slip in with them in the next day or so. Clashes in communications are still extremely likely and will probably relate to some form of responsibility or obligation, whether it's a fight with your boss, mortgage company, or tax authority. There's a lot of energy and drive that will have a different flair now versus when that planetary lineup was in Libra. Libra is all about relationships and fairness while Scorpio is all about power in one form or another. Hanging onto your money falls into the same court. How many bills, some of them unexpected, are you trying to juggle these days? Blame it on Scorpio, the natural 8th House that rules other people's money, which your bank balance is about to become. |
| 10-24-2006 Tuesday | Even if you usually don't look at the transit chart because it doesn't make any sense to you, you need to look at this one. As you can see there are a whole bunch of planets, including the Sun and Moon, in a single sign, which in this case happens to be Scorpio. You may not know too much about that sign, but let's just say that it's not exactly one of the more peaceful or easy-going communities of the Zodiac. After all, it's the Zodiacal 8th House of sex, death and other people's money. Need I say more? You'll also notice that the other signs are pretty empty, seven of them to be exact, so that's a tremendous concentration of energy. There is going to be a lot of passion while this lasts which will affect numerous areas of your life. Your communications, relationships, finances, sex life and emotions generally will be more intense than usual. Little if anything about today will be bland. I mean it. |
| 10-25-2006 Wednesday | Something unexpected that takes you by surprise and carries a bit of an emotional punch is likely today. Scorpio still has a disproportionate amount of planets in its grasp, which worries me a bit. My intent is not to scare anyone, but there seems to be a lot of discussion lately about death. We all have to go sometime, as we know, but it seems to be a little more prevalent than usual. Since Scorpio rules sex, death and other people's money, it seemed a bit more than a coincidence, especially with Pluto and Saturn tied in as well. Thus, I recommend being as safe and careful as possible and not taking any unnecessary chances for the next month or so. The stars and planets just aren't in your favor if you do. |
| 10-26-2006 Thursday | Memories or some connection to your mother or other woman from your past such as a school teacher are likely today. Perhaps you'll be confronted with a situation that requires a decision and the thought process you go through to make up your mind will bring back something this person taught you (or at least tried to). If you have any transactions or paperwork you need to complete with a bank, creditor, school, insurance company or similar institution I recommend that you get them taken care of before October 29 because on that day Mercury will go retrograde. That means that the likelihood of the entire thing being a total mess increases significantly. So get it done before then or, if possible, wait until November 18 or later. Consider yourself warned. |
| 10-27-2006 Friday | Lessons from past authority figures are still probably coming to mind in one form or another, hopefully because you found them valuable and not because you ignored them which caused something to bite you in the butt. If you have bills stacked up on your desk, many of which seem to have come out of nowhere, and your checkbook is gasping for air, it's probably because Scorpio is all about other people's money and there are a whole bunch of planets hanging out there these days. Last month that planetary coterie was in Libra and if that happened to jumpstart a new relationship for you it's likely to be heating up a bit. If so, now is a good time to check our compatibility matrix to see what to expect, especially once you get past that starry-eyed stage. |
| 10-28-2006 Saturday | If you're trying to get something across to someone in a position of authority you're likely to have a hard time doing so. This is not going to go away anytime soon, either, because Mercury goes retrograde tomorrow until November 18, which will make it substantially worse, especially if you're a Gemini or a Virgo. If you're a parent remember that you're an authority figure (or should be) from your children's viewpoint so some head-butting in that department is likely as well. That generation gap could easily become a regular chasm with power trips of one kind or another profuse, also. In fact, anyone dealing with children these days, like teachers, may find their days a bit more challenging than usual. |
| 10-29-2006 Sunday | Expect the unexpected today, but hopefully in a positive way. Not all surprises are bad, in fact some of them are downright good. This is not to say that it might not be a mixed bag since the Moon is out there, at least around Noon, messing with that Mars/Sun/Venus conjunction that's been in force for quite a while now. This will most likely make for some interesting male-female conversations with a significant emotional flavor, but the outcome is likely to be positive when all is said and done. In other words, any discussions that seem less than pleasant are likely to have a happy ending eventually, but remember that Mercury went Retrograde today, however, which will make it all the more challenging. |
| 10-30-2006 Monday | More surprises are possible today which could involve your relationships or possessions and you may have a little extra nervous energy as well. Mercury is now retrograde and if you read these things at all you certainly know by now that it isn't a good thing, particularly if you're a Virgo, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn or Gemini. Information exchanges of any kind imaginable are going to be more messed up than usual, i.e. TV reception, phone conversations, computer networks, and traffic lights to name a few. Organizational skills including planning, balancing your checkbook, building something, etc. will also be affected, as well as mechanical devices such as your car or ice maker. In other words, brace yourself, here it comes again. |
| 10-31-2006 Tuesday |
Be prepared for some surprises today, hopefully fun-related ones. You may even surprise yourself with something you may do or say or you may react to an event or comment with far more enthusiasm than it deserves. After all it's Halloween, which gives us an excuse of sorts to act weird or even dress up with a certain level of impunity. All those planets are still slogging through Scorpio and causing all sorts of things. Life has been far from dull lately and male - female relations may be a bit tense as well. We're all viewing life through our own knot-hole these days and probably don't have much regard or interest for others. This is okay once in a while, but in the long term you may find you're missing a lot with your nose stuck up against that picket fence. Maybe it's time to drag out a ladder and take a more objective view of the world. |
| 11-01-2006 Wednesday | Expect a surprise of some sort today , possibly relative to male-female matters or your possessions. It could be disruptive, or seem so at first, yet ultimately come out to your satisfaction. Nonetheless, it could cost you money, but it could just as easily cost someone else money and be to your benefit. No telling when you're dealing with a planet like Uranus and a sign like Scorpio. The Moon is in there as well, at least in the early morning hours, so its likely to be something that affects your emotionally. Your children may be on your mind a lot lately now that school's back in session and family routines are settling in again. That retrograde Mercury could be messing with numerous things in that department so be sure to be vigilant against errors and communications faux pas'. |
| 11-02-2006 Thursday | Today's transits are so close to yesterday's there isn't much to say other than if something hasn't taken you by surprise by now, it's probably headed your way. Chances are tomorrow will be largely the same as well. In a nutshell, Mercury is retrograde, which messes with all sorts of communication devices and since its also in conjunction with Jupiter, those effects are likely to be more dramatic than usual. Saturn is tied in as well, which introduces authority figures, responsibilities and possible delays into the picture. Thus, if you're waiting on something from an institution such as a bank, school or government agency, don't hold your breath. A surprise or unexpected event of some sort is also still likely, probably involving male-female relations of some sort. |
| 11-03-2006 Friday | There's quite a mix out there today and I eye all of it with a bit of caution. I know everyone is probably getting tired of me talking about Mercury RX as well as to expect surprises, but in all honesty can you really say you haven't seen a few the effects of both on a daily basis? How's your cell phone working? What about your computer? Any near misses with your car or, heaven forbid, accidents? There was one on my street this week, first one I've seen in living here for over two years. You can bet THEY were surprised! That nearly exact Saturn trine Pluto is probably doing something less than enchanting as well. My guess is that Cappies and Leos are feeling it, if no one else. If either of those are your sign and you've been depressed lately, you know what I mean. All things considered, the image that comes to mind is of Elmer Fudd saying, "Be wery, wery careful." |
| 11-04-2006 Saturday | I truly hope that the changes and surprises you're seeing are good because it looks like there should be a bunch of them out there still. I know you're tired of hearing that, but that's what's going on and I call 'em like I see 'em. If nothing has really happened yet, but you feel either like your wheels are stuck in the mud or have an unexplained sense of anticipation, then that is what it is. If your life is relatively stable, then these might well be minor blips, but if it's not, you probably don't need me to tell you the planets aren't up to much good. Neptune has jumped into the game today and is probably lending a bit of idealism to existing issues that may or may not actually help the situation. Remember idealism and realism don't always synch up. |
| 11-05-2006 Sunday | Early morning Full Moon today in Taurus that is looking directly at Venus and Mars in Scorpio. Most everyone associate Venus with women, Mars with men and Scorpio is the Zodiacal 8th House of sex, death/regeneration and other people's money. Need I say more? Add a touch of idealism coupled with a skeleton or two from the past, the likelihood of surprises as well as possible clashes with authority figures in an environment that isn't exactly clicking along in a normal way and you may want to keep an eye out today for one or all of these happenings, either in your life or those around you. If nothing else, Mercury RX periods are good times to re-work things that aren't quite resolved yet. If you don't know what they might be, just pay attention and Mercury will remind you sooner or later. |
| 11-06-2006 Monday | Those planets in Scorpio, which still number 5, are being further energized by Neptune and Uranus. Whatever issues you happen to be dealing with, be sure that you have all the facts and that you're interpreting them correctly. If you're being accused of doing otherwise, you need to check with someone you trust and respect and get a sanity check on your views. Neptune tends to make us a bit too idealistic and if that isn't appropriate for the situation it will be a hindrance in solving it. I've been ragging on surprises for several days now so I won't annoy you further, but consider yourself warned. Also note that Mercury Retrograde is a good time to re-do and correct situations that were done wrong initially. That is one of the positive messages of it, that until things are done right you can't move forward. You have until the 18th to get to it. |
| 11-07-2006 Tuesday | There is still a tremendous amount of energy in Scorpio which you are undoubtedly feeling in one way or another, whether you recognize it or not. Scorpios are probably feeling very energized and heaven help anyone who tangles with one while these transits are in effect. This is a very intense sign that will emanate energy in areas such as power trips, obsessions, seduction, and death/ regeneration. There are probably some personal changes going on, whether in your circumstances or attitude. You may be feeling more assertive than usual and possibly obsessing on where to direct the energy. There's a lot of potential for expectations to be a bit high, especially relative to male-female relationships. If there is some ongoing issue you haven't resolved yet, it's probably time you did, but be realistic. |
| 11-08-2006 Wednesday | Mercury is transiting in front of the Sun today, which will take approximately five-hours and be visible from the Americas, Hawaii and around the Pacific Rim. It will require a telescope to see and don't even think about it without proper eye protection. Astrologically, that conjunction is likely to trigger some heartfelt communications. There may be something you really wanted in a relationship but it's just not getting there. Mercury is retrograde, which is when we should go back and rethink things we may not have understood correctly before. There's a lot of cosmic help out there to help you get it figured out if you'll confront it once and for all and give it the attention it deserves. Changes take effort but Uranus is in a position to give you the boot you need to take action. |
| 11-09-2006 Thursday | What have you been re-evaluating lately? Surely there is something in your life that isn't quite right and you've never been able to figure out why. How are your finances? If you're being sorely tempted to make some huge purchase, just make sure you can really afford it before signing on the dotted line. How are your relationships doing these days? I'm not just talking about the male-female kind, though those seem to be the ones we put the most emphasis on. However, our friendships, peer relationships at work and interactions within our families are all in that same bag. The dialogs and discussions should be in progress already and today there is a lot of emotional energy to drive it home. So if you haven't gotten the ball rolling by now, what are you waiting for? Factor in lessons from the past and git 'r' done. |
| 11-10-2006 Friday | Even those of you who aren't naturally intuitive may be getting some vibes today. Be sure to balance your gut feelings with fact, however, make sure you're not simply dreaming. Whatever's been bothering you lately still isn't quite resolved, is it? Remember that it takes a while for things to get out of whack and they won't get corrected overnight, either. The cosmic winds of change are in your favor, though, so take advantage of them. Whatever it is, it won't fix itself, so if you haven't been doing your part, it isn't going to go away anytime soon. Lessons from the past are trying to get your attention. Do you keep making the same mistakes? If you keep on doing what you've always done, you'll keep on getting what you've always got. What do you need to do to get on track? What are you waiting for? |
| 11-11-2006 Saturday | The potential is there today for some major breakdown or problem that could get expensive to fix. If you have teenagers and they ask for the car keys tonight I would definitely tell them "No!" Redefining your view of the world is still in progress, but there's a chance that it's really a bit out of focus so be careful what you buy into. Remember things that seem too good to be true usually are. It's okay to kick your standards or ethics up a notch, but don't run faster than you have strength, either, or you'll wind up injured eventually. Lessons from the past are still active and there is no time like the present to reassess them and apply them to your current situation. Change is in the air, or maybe I should say stars, so make it good. |
| 11-12-2006 Sunday |
If you've been doing any fantasizing lately it's likely to really have a strong hold on you today. You're probably wondering why you never seem to get what you really want in life and wish that, just once, that things would work out, like they seem to for everyone else. The truth of the matter is that there is still a lot of energy out there, especially if you were born around the middle of the month, and if you harness it properly maybe you can get on the right path. You need to do your homework, however, and not just wish something into being because, guess what, sweetie? It just ain't gonna work that way. It's going to take some major work on your part, but now is a good time to make use of that Uranus (change), Mercury (communications) and Mars (ambition) aspect and make it so. |
| 11-13-2006 Monday | You're probably looking at those aspirations you were grousing about yesterday with a little more objectivity today. You still want them but you're more likely to be viewing them more realistically. Remember that there is actually something good about that retrograde Mercury which is the fact that now is a very good time to go back and redo things that you messed up the first go-round. Think about why those dreams and aspirations of yours aren't already a part of your life, then retrace your steps back to where you need to turn in the right direction. Now is a good time to organize your thoughts and life in such a way to go where you really want to go. Take advantage of all that energy that's still in Scorpio, the natural 8th house of regeneration, and get to it. |
| 11-14-2006 Tuesday | Saturn is the center of attraction today with the square he's throwing to Jupiter, Venus and the Sun. Saturn isn't exactly a planet that's bubbling with enthusiasm; rather, he's quite the wet blanket, saturated with responsibilities, authority figures, and delays as well as issues relative to your reputation and community standing. If you're feeling burdened down today and as if life really isn't particularly wonderful it's very likely that's why. In your heart you really want to make some changes but, as always, that's easier said than done and you may not know where to start. You may need to clean up some messes from the past before you can progress, so the task for today is to figure out what needs to be done. Write it down so you can view it more objectively and then formulate your plan. (I know you're sick of that Mercury RX stuff, but be extra careful this week. He's in cahoots with Mars and Uranus which can spell accidents.) |
| 11-15-2006 Wednesday |
If you didn't do what you were supposed to do yesterday, i.e. figure out what you need to do to get yourself on the path you really want to pursue for your life, it's still not too late. You may feel a little more optimistic today, but direct that toward your plans for the future as opposed to telling yourself that things are just fine the way they are. All that energy coming your way from Scorpio will start to shift within the next week or so and you're likely to feel a little differently about the entire situation. What's bothering you now may indeed dissipate at that time, but you need to make sure that you're not just blowing off what you really need to do. That cosmic kick in the butt is probably not something you should ignore. At least write it down and then give it a sanity check in a week or two. |
| 11-16-2006 Thursday | The cosmos has been giving you plenty of time to assess your situation, decide if you like it or not, and then take the necessary steps to get your life in order. Our lives changes in small increments, so it's no big surprise when similar aspects persist for several days running. Some of us take that much time to get it in gear. The intensity and drive of Scorpio, however, is about to wane as the assemblage of planets currently there gradually slips into Sagittarius over the next week or so. Don't let the last few days of that impetus pass you by. A little passion is a good thing, especially if it gives you the motivation you need to sort things out and turn in the right direction. Remember that the only one who can change your life is you, so if you've been blaming someone else, maybe it's time to get over it. |
| 11-17-2006 Friday | Venus led the pack into Sagittarius today and I'm sure she's glad to make that transition. She doesn't get along particularly well with all the intensity in Scorpio and will function better now that she's out. If you're a Taurus or a Libra you're likely to feel the difference more than everyone else. Saturn is still persistently tweaking your belief system and trying to get your attention about something. If you have any worn-out ideas you're hanging onto, it's probably time to rethink them. Hint: If there's some area of your life you're not satisfied with, that is probably where you need to look. You may not like what you see, but that makes it all the more important to confront once and for all. How are your computers behaving these days? If they resemble a train wreck blame Mercury RX and Uranus, about the most mischievous astrological pair imaginable. |
| 11-18-2006 Saturday | Saturn is still driving a lot of thoughts about doing the right thing, which in turn is probably triggering an internal dialog regarding what you want to do versus what you should do. Depending on the circumstances, "shoulding" on yourself may not be the right answer. Some obligations are appropriate while others are optional. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to determine the difference. The first thing to figure out is whether or not someone is taking advantage of you. Once you have that figured out, the rest should be easy. You'll be happy to know that Mercury is no longer retrograde, so starting a new project is now a much better idea than it was a few days ago. You may get some surprising news in the next few days, or possibly have already. Whatever it is, try not to overreact. |
| 11-19-2006 Sunday | You may be a bit dreamier than usual today and be viewing the world as you'd like it to be versus how it is. Those obligations are still probably hanging over your head and your patience with them is probably waning in a big way, kind of like the Moon. Your emotions are likely to get involved in these arguments more so than they did the last day or so and this could be a deciding factor for you. If there's any reason to doubt the sanity of your decision, you should wait a few days, maybe even a week, before taking any positive steps in that direction. By then a few more planets will be out of Scorpio and less likely to be imbuing your choices with more passion than the issue deserves. Mindsets will become a bit more ethics-driven when the Sun and Jupiter move into Sagittarius, and depending on what you're considering, this may not be a bad thing. |

Monday
New Moon |
New Moon today, about the time most of us are getting ready to go home from work. New Moons usually indicate a new beginning of some sort so if you've been listening and doing your homework the past few days, now is the time to commit to a fresh start. This lunation has even more kick than usual from Jupiter, and it's all on the tail-end of Scorpio, so it's likely to be significant if you'll let it. It's been a very busy and hectic month with lots of disruptions that should settle down now that both Mercury and Uranus are no longer retrograde. With fewer distractions, use the remaining two days of that Scorpio energy to do some serious thinking about your past experiences, where they've taken you to date and where you need to go from here. |
| 11-21-2006 Tuesday |
Being a bit restless and moody is likely today and it's not just because there's a holiday around the corner. Rather it's the Moon squared off with Uranus and I promise I'm not making this up. In the next few days Jupiter and the Sun will slide into Sagittarius and you're very likely to feel the difference as a giant sigh of relief when that dark, Plutonian energy transforms into a new view of the world. Well, maybe not the entire world, but you're likely to at least see your own situation a little differently. Sagittarius is a very philosophical sign and home of the Natural 9th House which rules such things as higher education (i.e. knowledge), legal matters and long distance travel. These things all get us outside of our own skins and help us get along in the world. Absorb what you can and use it well. |
| 11-22-2006 Wednesday |
The Sun entered Sagittarius today which should provide a little stress relief versus when it was in Scorpio. Seems like just about everyone had a very challenging month and is ready for something to change or lighten up. Rest assured that it will. We all probably feel as if we've been hit by a dump truck but celestial help is on the way. Sagittarius is a much more optimistic sign but to utilize it fully you need to take what you learned this last month and rise above it. Scorpio represents death and regeneration so once you determine what area of your life that applied to the better prepared you'll be to put it in its philosophical place and move on. Saturn is still pushing practicality and responsibility so you're not out of the woods yet, but using last month's lessons to enrich your philosophy of life will pay off in the long run. |
| 11-23-2006 Thursday | Happy Thanksgiving! If there is anything to be thankful for it's the fact that none of the planets are currently retrograde and one by one the planets are marching out of Scorpio. It's rather significant that this particular holiday during which we should express our gratitude falls while the Sun is in Sagittarius rather than Scorpio. Sag is much more philosophical and socially-minded than his nextdoor neighbor, making us all a bit more receptive to its intended purpose. The aspects today aren't that much different than yesterday so you still need to be thinking about revamping those areas of your life than need fixing. However, as noted above, with the Sun in Sagittarius your thoughts are likely to be less forensic toward your past and more directed toward your purpose in life. |
| 11-24-2006 Friday | Communications today of all sorts might be a little foggy, so make sure you're paying attention. There is also a possibility for accidents so be extra careful, especially if your traveling on this busy weekend. You are likely to feel a little more benevolent than usual today, either because you ate too much yesterday and you're sluggish or perhaps because the holiday season is affecting you in a benevolent way. Something unexpected may interrupt or change that frame of mind and hopefully it won't be that accident noted earlier. There are numerous long-term aspects in effect that will motivate some deep introspection at the conscious and subconscious level. Don't fret too much and let the universe take care of business, which will ultimately get you where you need to be. |
| 11-25-2006 Saturday | Okay, folks, there's a bunch of stuff out there today that makes me think that you need to be really careful today. For starters, that Mars-square-Saturn thingie out there isn't good, especially with Mars still in Scorpio. Be extra careful and don't do anything risky or downright stupid. All sorts of communications are likely to be a little unclear, also. This can relate to other drivers, so if you're on the road pay attention and drive defensively. And as if that's not bad enough, surprises are likely. They might not necessarily be BAD surprises, but nonetheless, there's nothing more surprising than a car wreck! The aspects out there also favor authority figures, a.k.a your local cops and state troopers, so even if you're not in a wreck you may encounter one of your area's finest if you deviate from the rules. Advice for the day: Stay home and watch football, even if it's reruns from Thursday. |
| 11-26-2006 Sunday | Mars and Saturn are still squared off, which can mean power trips on the part of authority figures are likely. So if you encounter one be sure to mind your manners or you might wind up cooling off in jail when all you should have gotten was a speeding ticket. If you're a creative type, i.e. an artist, songwriter or author, today will be a really good day as you're likely to have some very unusual ideas that you'll be able to capture well. That's the good news. The bad news is that inappropriate daydreaming when you should be paying attention could get you in trouble. Read yesterday's forecast. Things really haven't changed much, I'm just trying not to repeat myself. There may be some pleasant surprises out there, especially if you're an Aquarius, Virgo or Gemini, but there also might be a few you're rather skip, particularly if you're a Taurus or Libra. Be careful. |
| 11-27-2006 Monday | The other day someone was telling me how they were still waiting for all that good stuff to happen that their horoscope always says is just around the corner. I told her to read mine, that I don't blow smoke up your wazoo and tell it like it is. When there's good stuff I'll tell you, but it ain't often. Along those lines, today you need to watch your temper because it's likely to be easily provoked (that means you, Aries). After all, many of you have just come back off a very long weekend and are probably just bubbling with enthusiasm to be back at work. Communications are still going to be a bit foggy or even covert, so say what you mean and ask for clarification as required. Those authorities are still out to get you and they're in a bad mood, too, so look out. |
| 11-28-2006 Tuesday | Today you may not only be a little more emotional than usual but all over the emotional map. Woman are especially likely to be moody today and probably won't even get along with members of their own gender. If you're just being bitchy, that's one thing, but if you have a legitimate complaint today may actually be a favorable time to get things out in the open. Sometimes speaking from the heart is a good thing as not all problems can be solved with logic. If you're prone to hiding your real feelings, this could work to your detriment (are you listening, Earth Signs?). Be honest with yourself and those around you and you may be rather pleased with the result. If you've been pondering your past and its affect on your present a lot lately, you're not alone. |
| 11-29-2006 Wednesday | The guys are the ones who are likely to be a bit more emotional and/or sentimental today, so if any of you gals hit the bitch-button a little too hard yesterday, today's a good day to apologize. Thoughts of women from your past are likely today as well, particularly those who are older than you or held a position of authority of some sort, e.g. a teacher or mentor. What was the most important lesson you learned from this person? If you were to meet her on the street today, what would be the first thing you'd tell her? Would you have to defend your position or justify your mistakes or would you be proud to tell her what you've accomplished? Don't believe everything you hear today and that includes talking to yourself. |
| 11-30-2006 Thursday | You may be inclined to daydream a bit more than usual today, particularly about things near and dear to your heart, whether this happens to be a person, something you really want, or perhaps your home or a prized possession. If you're in an "either-or" situation of some sort, you may not be seeing things too clearly today so don't make any irrevocable decisions. Your head and heart may be on the same wavelength, but make sure you're not just being delusional. Pursuing your dreams is a good thing, but be sure to do so in a logical way or they'll bite you later. If you try to be too impulsive, something is likely to get in your way, even if it's no more than common sense. If the past is still on your mind a lot, make sure you figure out if there's something you should have learned but didn't. |
| 12-01-2006 Friday | If you look at today's chart you'll see a big, green triangle which is known as a Grand Trine, in this case a Grand Fire Trine since each of the planets involved are in a Fire Sign. This is likely to carry a lot of energy which will probably bring additional attention to those issues from the past you've been wrestling with for a while. There are times when we need to bury the past and move on, which is what Pluto does well, i.e. reopening old wounds, cleaning them out, and then allowing them to heal. You may be surprised by some of what oozes out, but dealing with it directly is your best bet. If you'd dealt with it years ago, it wouldn't be making a cheap comeback now. If you need someone to talk to, finding someone who's older and wiser is probably your best bet. |
| 12-02-2006 Saturday | Your heart and your head might get into an argument today, perhaps about some major change you're considering. It looks like your heart has the better argument, even though the practical elements in your life can throw a lot of barriers in your way. Conversations are likely to be a bit on the aggressive side, particularly if they involve the powers that be. If you're trying to work out something from your past that you've finally figured out, don't necessarily expect the other party to have had the same revelation. You may tend to be a bit too idealistic in your expectations as well, which are likely to further complicate any dialogs. Human behavior is by far one of the great unknowns of the Universe so don't feel badly if you haven't figured it out yet. |
| 12-03-2006 Sunday | Today could bring about the sudden awareness of the need for some personal change. This thought will originate at a deep, subconscious level and perhaps peek above the surface just long enough for you to know it's there, like a shadow moving in the moonlight. This could entail a new attitude, perhaps toward your past, a renewed sense of responsibility, a surge of energy to at long last dump your baggage and move on or even all three. This could definitely set the stage for the coming months when Saturn goes retrograde, which is discussed in more detail in December's monthly horoscopes. The planets cannot be stopped and their influence will be projected into your life, like it or not. Resistance is futile, you will be assimilated. |

12-04-2006
Monday Full Moon |
Full Moon in Gemini today, right around dinner time. This one is likely to make everyone a little jumpier than usual, but that probably won't be that noticeable this time of year. Full Moons often denote endings or the culmination of a phase of some sort. This one could also drive you toward some serious introspection and the realization that things really aren't as bad as you thought. You have some work to do, however, and you probably already know what that entails. If it were easy, you probably wouldn't have put it off for so long. The time is going to pass anyway, so you may as well get started. If there is anyone else in your life who's counting on you, then you need to get your ducks in a row and get to it. |
| 12-05-2006 Tuesday | If you haven't noticed a shift in how things "feel" now versus a month ago you've probably been in a coma of sorts. One by one the planets have been leaving Scorpio and in a few days the exodus will be complete. Astrologically, that definitely spells R-E-L-I-E-F. Today the Moon is shedding some light on the same old crap you've been ruminating on for a while now. To quote Obi Wan Kenobi, "Listen to your feelings, Luke." There are few absolutes in the Universe, especially if they involve human relations, and we design our own destiny more than most realize. Those roadblocks ahead may look formidable, but whether or not you work your way around them depends a lot on your speed and approach. Power is one option, diplomacy another. Decisions, decisions... |
| 12-06-2006 Wednesday | If you've been trying to impress your boss with your hard work and abilities lately there's a good chance you'll finally be noticed in a positive way. You could find yourself in a position, however, where you don't agree with something the company's brass is proposing. Before you speak up and possibly put your foot in your mouth, make sure you have all your facts straight. If you're confident your viewpoint is correct, proceed to express it in an assertive, non-confrontational manner. Intelligent bosses want their employees to be able to think on their feet and care about their opinions, so what initially appears to be a disagreement could ultimately put you in the limelight in a very favorable way. Just make sure you really know what you're talking about so you don't wind up looking like an idiot. |
| 12-07-2006 Thursday | There's a lot of energy in Sagittarius these days with more to come, which will affect such areas as higher education, long distance travel, legal matters and religious involvement. If you have outstanding issues in one of these areas, now is a good time to work at solving them. There are also still some pretty good vibes out there if you're vying for a promotion of some kind. Hard work is an important factor for gaining recognition, but being viewed in a positive light is not based entirely on your work alone. Remember if you're high maintenance or too abrasive in other ways that you can be your own worst enemy by alienating those that are in a position to help you advance. Bear in mind what you boss really wants from you and direct your energy accordingly. |
| 12-08-2006 Friday | If you normally don't look at transit charts, I understand, but this is one you should look at. I haven't seen one like this all year. There is absolutely NO red there, i.e. nothing but positive aspects, indicating a really good day. There are six planets in optimistic Sagittarius with even the malefic planets throwing good vibes. Uranus, which can bite you in the, well, you know, is out there by his lonesome self in Pisces, possibly messing a bit with your subconscious, but not doing any serious damage. Communications should be heartfelt and positive, your boss should be in a good mood, and a rather happy view of the world is likely. Now this is no guarantee that there aren't some nasties going on with your Natal Chart, but over all it looks like a nice day. Over the next few days Jupiter, Mercury and Mars will begin to converge in the pre-dawn sky. Enjoy it while it lasts. |
| 12-09-2006 Saturday | The aspects out there are still very positive except for a possible tendency to see things the way you want them to be versus how they actually are. There's a lot of energy out there in Fire Signs, 8 of the 10 to be exact. There in one in an Air Sign, one in a Water Sign and NONE in an Earth Sign. This is going to make us all a little more self-centered than usual, but with quite a bit of energy and enthusiasm to make things happen. This is a good time of year for that kind of optimism with plenty of places and events to put it to good use. Hopefully you're gradually getting a grip on your past and looking forward to the New Year. Thinking about some resolutions now when you're literally "all Fired up" is a good thing, but make sure you keep them realistic or you'll be majorly bummed out later when you can't quite make them happen. |
| 12-10-2006 Sunday | Seems like there have been a lot of surprises lately and they're likely to continue, depending on where Uranus is transiting your Natal Chart. He's kind of a loose cannon out there right now with his energy uncontained or directed by any of the other planets, so he's looking to connect with something in your chart. Everything is generally favorable out there, though the Moon is on course to possible stir up a bit of impatience. You still need to guard against seeing things the way you want them versus how they are, and that planetary predominance in Fire Signs is definitely making you feel pretty good about yourself. Don't be surprised if your Christmas shopping turns up as many things for yourself as you're giving to others. Are you feeling that Saturn retrograde yet? Check your Monthly Sign Predication for where to look. |
| 12-11-2006 Monday | The Moon is shining on Uranus, which should generate a surprise or two, probably at work and hopefully not relative to your health. There has been a nasty bug or two going around lately, so eat right (but not too much) and take your vitamins. Viewing the world through rose-colored glasses is still likely, though a fantasy or two at this time of year is certainly forgivable. Bear this in mind if those requests to Santa seem a bit far-fetched. Mercury, Mars and Jupiter are still in a group hug in Sagittarius. This represents a whole lot of energy which could manifest in a variety of mind-expanding ways including a sudden interest in something new, going back to school, planning a trip abroad, a newfound interest in religion, etc. |
| 12-12-2006 Tuesday |
The Moon could throw a little self-doubt your way today, particularly if you start obsessing on past mistakes. If you haven't learned from them yet, then do so now; if you have, then let them go, once and for all. When that's done, maybe it's time to re-evaluate some of your viewpoints and/or attitudes to determine if they're still accurate or moving your life along in the direction you really want to go. Chances are you have quite a bit of energy, but it may not be directed in a productive way. Everyone is pretty talkative and ideas are probably a dime a dozen. If any of them sound especially good, don't dismiss them as chatter but give them some serious consideration. |
| 12-13-2006 Wednesday |
Some of those ideas you've been gnawing on lately may be starting to make some sense and your enthusiasm may be starting to increase. The question is how much of an investment is involved and how big is the risk? What are you willing to give up? You may find yourself a bit torn because something is urging you to be practical and not to take chances, yet something else is screaming at you, "Nothing ventured, nothing gained." Change is often hard to bear, especially if you're a Fixed Sign which include Taurus, Leo, Scorpio or Aquarius. The secret is to do it in small, incremental steps that allow you to hang onto enough of the past to feel secure, yet begin to move you in the right direction, even if it's only an inch at a time. |
| 12-14-2006 Thursday |
Viewing the world through rose-colored glasses is likely today, but wishful thinking never did anyone any good without a plan. While you probably know what you need to do to make it happen, you may have some opposition to getting it figured out. The real question is where that opposition is coming from, outside or within yourself? In a few weeks we'll have a New Year upon us and there is no better time to set the wheels in motion for some positive changes. The time will pass anyway so you may as well be accomplishing something, n'est-ce pas? That energizing, mind-expanding data dump being generated by that group hug between Mercury, Mars and Jupiter is still in force. Make it work for you. |
| 12-15-2006 Friday | Look out for some surprises today, either in the way of unexpected news or some other surprise. You may be debating on getting rid of something that is no longer useful but having a hard time deciding whether to do it or not. If you're not sure, just let it ride, something else will come along in the next month or two that will help you make up your mind. Any group or team activities are likely to go reasonably well, but make sure that your goals and plans are based on more than wishful thinking. Be sure to allow enough time for each task; in my experience, that usually means at least three times longer than you think. As much as we'd like it to be a perfect world, it's not and therefore disruptions are inevitable in spite of the best-laid plans of mice and men. |
| 12-16-2006 Saturday | If you've been a rebel most of your life, you're probably beginning to notice that it hasn't always worked out for you as well as it has for those who are a bit more conventional. It's never too late, however, to recognize you've made a wrong turn and do something to get back on track. On a personal note, I was 35 years old before I even started working on a bachelor's degree. I don't recommend waiting that long, but on the other hand, better late than never. Today you may suddenly realize at a visceral level what you really need to do. This revelation could be facilitated by a sudden flash of insight or unexpected event that makes you realize a few things you'd been blind to before. Male-female vibes should be favorable, also, for whatever that happens to be worth. |
| 12-17-2006 Sunday | Today could bring a plethora of thoughts or events your way that pit your dreams against reality. There's a lot of "reality" out there right now, including numerous aspects that will drive a hard look at your past. More than likely something will occur that will contribute some strong motivation for you to understand it. Try to be as objective as possible and use that knowledge to choose which path you want to be on this coming year. Try to keep an open mind because this "Aha!" moment could result from someone ripping you a new one, so to speak. While such events are far from pleasant, don't miss the point by being too defensive. Life-changing insights are often painful, but the ultimate results are usually more beneficial than someone blowing sunshine up....uh, let's rephrase that....Telling you what you want to hear. |
| 12-18-2006 Monday | Don't be surprised if you're a bit more emotional than usual today. If something has been bothering you lately, you may find yourself totally obsessing on a solution. No matter what it takes, you've probably had enough at this point and are ready to do what it takes to make a change. Whether it's an worn-out idea, aspiration, relationship or attitude, there is no time like the present to leave it behind. More than likely doing so will improve your life and reputation substantially and pave the way toward future success. Not everyone will be thrilled with your decision, however, so be prepared for some opposition. Quiet resolve is your best response. Remember, never argue with a fool--people may not be able to tell the difference. |
| 12-19-2006 Tuesday | That's quite a convention in Sagittarius today with a vast variety of feelings and emotions inevitable. A change of pace would do you good so try to take a break of some sort that you'll find enjoyable. You're likely to be able to get in touch with your feelings quite forcefully today, perhaps even at a spiritual or transcendental level if you place yourself in the right environment to listen. If there's something about your life that you're trying to eliminate, now is a good time to make some actual plans on how you're going to accomplish it. Just be patient, because even once you have your plan, it may be a while before you can actually put it into action. Remember that Saturn is Retrograde, but delays are not necessary bad; rather they can assure that something occurs when the time is right. |
| 12-20-2006 Wednesday | New Moon today. If you haven't been doing so already, don't be surprised if you've been obsessing on something lately. Power plays are another possibility, some of which could involve a confrontation with an authority figure of some kind. Like they say, some days you're the bug; others, you're the windshield. If there's anyone out there who's not exactly your greatest fan, it's likely they'll be causing you some kind of grief. Whatever it happens to be, don't give in and, if necessary, fight fire with fire. If you have a tendency toward being a bit of a victim, stop it right now; don't give them the satisfaction. This or other stressors may give you the urge to indulge yourself by eating, doing or buying something luxurious. Before you do, consider the price so you don't regret it later. That said, have a nice day. |
| 12-21-2006 Thursday | If there's anything about your life that you'd like to change, today is a good day to start figuring out how. Your thoughts have probably been a bit serious lately, but focused more on the past than the future. Over the next few days, these thoughts will gradually make more sense. In other words, you'll begin to see how past mistakes shaped your present situation. Once you have that figured out, you should be able to start backing out of your present life and start off in a different direction. Don't forget that Saturn is currently retrograde, which could stall some of your plans. However, rather than being frustrated by any delays, use this time to make sure that your plans are airtight so that when the time is right they can proceed unencumbered. |
| 12-22-2006 Friday | The Sun moved into Capricorn today, which is also the Winter Solstice, i.e. shortest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. You're probably still looking for some answers, so just remember the admonition to Seek and ye shall find. These planetary aspects are all about personal growth as their influences give us gentle nudges and sometimes major shoves toward our next lesson in life. Learning it will result in immunity next time around. Changes and surprises are still possible, which may involve some resistance. Be careful driving this holiday weekend because accidents definitely fall in this category. Power plays are still probably going on as well. Perpetrators need to note that you can't throw mud without getting some on yourself. |
| 12-23-2006 Saturday | Sudden changes or unexpected events are still a possibility. Enjoy your holidays but be alert, don't drink and drive or take other unnecessary chances. You are likely to be looking for some answers lately that you may or may not have found. Superficial answers are not going to cut it and you'll more than likely probe as deeply as necessary to unearth the facts you need. Dig away, but with Saturn retrograde you may not find what you're looking for just yet. You may think you've found the answer, but don't get too excited because it's probably either completely wrong, or at best, partially true. Patience is called for now so make a supreme effort not to let your emotions get out of hand. Things take time. |
| 12-24-2006 Sunday | Christmas Eve will probably always stir an old memory or two to the surface and today has a touch of astrological assistance in that regard. If your childhood was less than perfect, you may find yourself pondering on that a bit more than usual, though now that you're older and perhaps a parent yourself you can start to see and understand things you didn't back then. On the other hand, maybe you have more questions than ever, in which case you will not be happy with superficial answers but will want to know the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Our past only ties us down and limits us as much as we allow it to. With a new year just around the corner, there's no time like the present to let it go, embrace the future and leave that baggage where it belongs. |
| 12-25-2006 Monday | Today should be a day with mixed emotions, which is quite the norm for Christmas. We all tend to think of it as this idyllic gathering of the perfect family and when reality doesn't match it's depressing. Uncle Joe and Uncle Bob may get into a fist fight on the front lawn (again), the kids are whining they didn't get what they wanted, and maybe you are, too. Then, miraculously, when some time has passed, our memories of it are scrubbed clean and they become pleasant, or at the least, humorous. Try to keep it all in perspective today. If something isn't working, invent some new traditions for next year. Just try to remember that as imperfect as they may be, they're your family and the only one you've got. Merry Christmas! |
| 12-26-2006 Tuesday | Changes and/or surprises are still on the agenda for today. If you're still working through some issues from your past, you're likely to be confronting them today in one form or another. Memories are likely to emerge from seemingly nowhere and your understanding is likely to be deeper than it was before. The energy and enthusiasm you need to get past it is likely, as well, but you may encounter a difference of a opinion from someone who tries to thwart your progress. Be prepared to explain your decision in a non-confrontational way and stand firm, particularly if they try and throw a guilt trip your way. If you were wrong in the past, admit it, but don't let it deter your confidence or determination to move on with your life. |
| 12-27-2006 Wednesday |
You may experience an unexpected emotional surge today, but not necessarily in a bad way. Nonetheless, your head and heart may get into an argument about something. Neither is right 100% of the time so weigh the facts and feelings carefully. You're probably still in the holiday spirit, at least to some degree, so it will probably be a little longer before things get entirely back to normal. Enjoy the change of pace but it wouldn't hurt to start thinking about a few New Years Resolutions. Seems like we don't hear about them as much as we used to, but setting goals is essential if you ever want to get there. Make them hard enough to be a challenge but not so unattainable that they set you up for failure. If you don't know the difference, now's a good time to figure it out. |
| 12-28-2006 Thursday | You may tend to be a little bit hard on yourself today, particularly regarding events from your past or what you perceive as a failure to get where you'd like to be with your life. These sentiments could either make you too bummed out to muster any motivation to do anything but grouse about it or conversely generate a significant amount of determined energy to take care of it NOW. Neither reaction is necessarily the best course of action since you can't change the past by belaboring it and getting on the right path probably takes more than a single day of intensive drive to succeed. Nonetheless, you can use that energy to good advantage if you think hard about what you really need to do and start gathering the information you need to do it in a determined, methodical, realistic way. Maybe start with a few challenging but not impractical New Years Resolutions. |
| 12-29-2006 Friday | If you're still less than satisfied with your life to date, today is a good day to take a few steps to correct it. Your head and heart are likely to be in harmony today and if there's anyone telling you that you're crazy regarding some of your plans you should be able to justify your proposed course of action rather succinctly. Wanting to expand your ambitions is very likely today, though part of it may be inspired by a power trip. This will probably continue for a while, but is not necessarily a bad thing if it gets you moving in the right direction. Make sure your aspirations and plans are realistic, however, and don't forget to read the fine print. Also don't be afraid to make a few life-style changes if required. They'll pay off in the long run. |
| 12-30-2006 Saturday | Those dreams and ambitions you've been pondering lately may be subjected to a reality check today. Someone or something may throw itself in your way and make it seem either impossible or like a stupid idea. If you can find enough mental and emotional energy to make it past this opposition, then more than likely in due time you can make your aspirations happen as well. Remember that you can't make a dream come true if you don't have one to begin with. Nothing worth having ever came easily, so be prepared to work hard, but the end result will be well worth it. If your motivation is primarily to improve your life style, that is not necessarily a bad thing. Complacency breeds mediocrity and there's already enough of that in the world. |
| 12-31-2006 Sunday | This last day of 2006 most of us will be reflecting on the past year, whether it was good, bad or indifferent. If you let logic rule your decisions you may feel as if you neglected your emotional needs; if you let emotions rule your decisions you may find that some of them have (or soon will) bite you. A proper balance is needed if you want to be truly happy. Now is a good time to start defining what constitutes a happy medium. A logical approach to emotional issues probably sounds like an oxymoron, but deciding how much you need to actually feel to enjoy life versus how much you need to think to stay in touch with reality can make the difference between happiness and misery. Only you can decide on what constitutes the correct balance and then make the changes necessary to make it stick. Give yourself permission to live life to its fullest this next year by promising yourself to compensate for whichever area you neglected in 2006. Happy New Year! |
| 1-01-2007 Monday | If you're inclined to have a temper it's possible it might get touched off more easily than usual today. If you have a hangover, needless to say that won't help. Surprises or other unexpected events are possible today but they will most likely have to do with local or world events of some kind. You could change your view of the world, but could be as simple as a vow to stay away from imported beer. Daydreaming is another possibility today, though it could also show up as wishful thinking regarding what to expect in the new year. You could get quite enthusiastic about the possibilities, but if you think you're going to be able to retire if you win that football pool, think again. Thoughts of people from your past are likely, especially ex's of one kind or another. See, now matter how bad things may seem, they could be worse. |
| 1-02-2007 Tuesday | You may encounter someone from your past today, most likely a woman, who had a strong effect on you, for good or ill. This encounter could be a random memory that pops up for no apparent reason, seeing the person or perhaps only someone who reminds you of her. Think about what you learned from her, even if it was a matter of "No life is ever wasted; you can always serve as a bad example" and then figure out why you've been reminded of that experience at this particular time. There are likely to be various surprises afoot over the next few days, most of which are likely to be good but could nonetheless have a slightly disruptive effect on your plans. Your best bet is to just roll with the punches. |

1-03-2007
Wednesday Full Moon |
Full Moon today in Cancer, which will more than likely highlight your homelife in some way. (To see how it might affect you Sign-wise, see your January horoscope.) The general effects of this lunation will last until the next Full Moon unless today is your birthday. In that case, the Full Moon will be part of your Solar Return Chart, and likely to last all year. It looks like there could be some conflicts between home and career that could result in a disagreement or two. Maybe there's the possibility for a promotion that will require extra time or travel and disrupt the family. Whatever it happens to be, talk it out in a civilized manner. Feelings count as well as logic, so be sure to weigh your decisions accordingly. Don't get too hung up on what constitutes an "ideal home" but rather what is best for all concerned. Commit to your decision and then make it work. |
| 1-04-2007 Thursday | Something you did in the past, possibly relative to a previous romantic situation, could come under some sort of scrutiny today and you'll be expected to explain yourself. Mars and Pluto are converging, which puts a tremendous amount of energy out there, especially with Jupiter transiting the same sign, i.e. Sagittarius. Neither is particularly friendly and when they're in cahoots with Saturn, which is likewise less than pleasant and represents authority figures, bureaucracies, etc. I would say to be extra careful today that you don't do anything against the rules because if you get caught it's not likely to go in your favor. There could be surprising news or information of some sort, possible also relative to governmental entities or authorities at some level. |
| 1-05-2007 Friday | If you didn't get any surprising news yesterday then you probably will today. It could relate to your mother or perhaps simply to your upbringing or home environment in some way. You may not know how to react at first or know what's expected of you. Be sure to keep your cool, which may not be easy, and whatever you do, tell the truth. At the least it's likely to be an unusual day in some way. Perhaps something you'd nearly forgotten about will come back to either haunt you or remind you how far you've come. The question is whether or not you've changed since then or if you're making the same mistakes. It's the first week of a brand new year so if it's the latter it's still not too late to make a resolution or two. |
| 1-06-2007 Saturday |
How are things going in your career these days? There has been a lot of action out there the past few days that involve power, aggression, big changes or surprises, your emotions and authority figures. Hmmmmm, where does that fit into your life? As you can imagine there are as many scenarios as there are people, so how that combination plays out for each person will differ slightly. Duh! If you've been working really hard the past year to get ahead on the job now may be the time when it starts to pay off. It's all a matter of whether all those nice trines are in your favor. If your situation warrants, perhaps a promotion or a nice raise are on the way. On the other hand, if an authority figure of some description is in your face, then maybe you'd better figure they're not. |
| 1-07-2007 Sunday | Your imagination is likely to be in high gear today, which is going to come in very handy if you're into a creative endeavor of some kind, whether it be writing, music, painting or any other form of artistic expression. Works of art that evoke emotion are the most powerful, whatever media they employ, and there's some great cosmic action out there to assist with that, also. Thus, today would be a good day to indulge yourself in either enjoying or creating something inspirational to share with others. On the more mundane side, you may be trying to either change or figure out how you feel about a recent occurrence. Once you have it figured out stand firm and don't let others try to talk you out of what you know to be right. |
| 1-08-2007 Monday |
There are two major influences out there today that are diametrically opposed. One is very emotional and idealistic, which will either make you want to convert the world to whatever your religion or spiritual persuasion might be or, on the other hand, have a spirited conversation with someone regarding your favorite medium for increasing your blood alcohol content. The other major aspect has three of the malefics, i.e. Saturn, Pluto and Mars, in cahoots, which reeks with seriousness and would have you obsessing on world domination and why Hitler got so much bad press. Put them together and you have something similar to Silas in The Da Vinci Code. Expect anything today. |
| 1-09-2007 Tuesday | Mars and Pluto are rubbing shoulders out there, which is throwing some rather ominous vibes about. Figure you have a partnership between the god of war and the god of the Underworld with a conference call into Saturn. The Moon is in there, too, which will put all this through an emotional filter. This is throwing a lot of heartfelt power and aggression toward the authority figures in your life and is likely to appear as a global increase in bureaucratic hassles. If there are any people in your life that tend to be controlling it will probably likewise give them a bit of a boost, especially if they're an Aries or a Scorpio (big surprise there--not!). If you happen to be a Ram or a Scorpion, you'll probably be ruminating on some dark and less than friendly thoughts. Everyone else is probably feeling reasonably good about things these days, especially those of you who got some R & R during the holidays. |
| 1-10-2007 Wednesday | There's quite a variety out there today and which aspects affect you will be directly related to how they combine with your Natal Chart. For starters, everyone is likely to be a little moody. If you're a Libra, Aquarius or Sagittarius you're likely to be a very benevolent mood. Aries and Scorpios are likely to still be a bit on the aggressive side, even for you, especially if you're vying for a promotion or some other form of advancement. I pity anyone or anything that gets in your way. Capricorns have a bunch going on and are likely to be acutely aware of where they are with their life, especially since this is your Solar Return period. You may be encountering a few extra bureaucratic hassles but with some luck you may be able to harness some of that energy in your favor toward achieving your personal goals. |
| 1-11-2007 Thursday | There's a lot of energy out there right now with Saturn/Capricorn flavor between the Sun and Mercury in Cappy combined with Saturn in aspect with four different planets plus the Moon. You may be a bit more emotional today while trying to express yourself, which may tend to cloud what you're trying to say. This conversation could be with just about anyone but could possibly take place with a government agency or officer of some kind. Trying to exhibit a power trip of some sort just ain't gonna work with these folks these days so lock into some of that Venus-Jupiter luck and turn on the charm instead. When your grandmother told you that you'd get more flies with honey than vinegar she knew what she was talking about. |
| 1-12-2007 Friday | Today's transit chart looks like a game of Alien Invaders between Saturn and numerous other players. Of course the real question is who's attacking whom and who, if anyone, is winning? Saturn generally represents "The Establishment", which is self-explanatory to baby boomers. To those who aren't, it's authority, discipline, requirements and restrictions. You may have to justify yourself relative to one of those and believe me just being the wonderful person you are will not be sufficient to bend the rules. There are some surprises and unexpected events brewing out there and any "connections" you may think you have may not be as friendly or perhaps powerful as you think. However, there is a fair share of dumb luck out there if you'll just turn on the charm, and lacking that, at least try to be humble. |
| 1-13-2007 Saturday | If you've been unaffected so far by that Mars-Pluto conjunction you'll probably notice it today. Either you're being reminded how insignificant you really are and how everyone but yourself is in charge or you're the person imposing that crap on everyone else. Remember that Mars is energy, often aggressive in nature, and Pluto rules sex, death, shared resources, transformations and healing. If you're watching the perhaps violent ending to something in your life or around you, whether it's a relationship, a project, your health, possessions or what-have-you, then that's what it is. You're probably acutely aware of how imperfect the world is and everyone in it and whining accordingly. Just remember that resistance is futile, the powers that be are in charge, especially with the current aspect. |
| 1-14-2007 Sunday | Saturn just ain't letting go of all those other planets, so those arguments, hassles, frustrations and general unrest relative to any type of authority figure are still in force and you're getting mighty tired of it. Yesterday's whining has probably increased a few octaves to screeches but all that social change you may think is needed is going to take a while. Nonetheless, those bureaucratic nightmares should start to calm down in the next month or so, but Mars and Pluto are still in cahoots so the figurative death and destruction is going to continue for a while longer. Try to bear in mind that after Pluto has had his way with you that those old wounds will have been thoroughly excised and you'll be able to heal and ultimately feel much better. |
| 1-15-2007 Monday | If you decide to show your appreciation for your friends by hosting a happy hour, be sure you also provide a designated driver. Otherwise you might find yourself bailing them out at the local lockup. It's likely that any conversations will be a bit feistier than usual, which doesn't bode well for certain audiences, so guard your temper and choose your words carefully. Everyone is likely to be moodier than usual today with numerous emotions displayed on a multitude of sleeves. This, of course, does not go well with all that temper business and keeping calm is often easier said than done. The potential for accidents is still out there as well. While driving listen to soft music or a motivational talk so you don't take all those idiots sharing the road with you too seriously. |
| 1-16-2007 Tuesday | If your motto for the last week or so has been "Reality Bites" it simply reflects what's going on in the Zodiac. More than likely you have a nice mental picture of how the world should work but when you look out your window that isn't how it is at all. It seems as if consequences have been the name of the game. If you've ever done anything that wasn't too bright, chances are you've been paying for it lately. As if that's not bad enough, anyone with an ounce of authority has been exploiting it lately and making the rest of us peons as miserable as possible. If misery loves company, I can guarantee that you're not alone. My only advice other than to brace yourself is to not do anything stupid or illegal because if you do things are bound to follow Murphy's Law and definitely get worse. |
| 1-17-2007 Wednesday | It's pretty likely that your view of the world is not in synch with reality right now. It may seem as if you're never going to get beyond Square One and that the entire Universe is against you. Like they say, some days you're the bug, some days you're the windshield, and most likely lately you've been the bug. Changes and surprises are still all around and the trick is to find that silver lining. There's no better time to make a change than when things aren't going very well because you have a lot less to lose. The first thing you need to figure out, however, is whether the world is really picking on you or whether you've painted a big, red target on your forehead. Be honest with yourself (which might not be easy) and put together a root cause analysis of your problems. Who's to blame? |
| 1-18-2007 Thursday |
New Moon today in Capricorn, the effect of which is best described in your Sign's monthly horoscope. You're probably still thinking a lot about what you really like to do versus what you're currently doing to earn a living. If you're like most people, there's a fair amount of disparity there and you'd really rather be doing something else. The trick is to figure out how you can get paid for doing what you love, but first you need to figure out what that is. Dream jobs are few and far between and are generally of your own making. Other heart-felt aspirations may be on your mind as well. Whether it's a new home, a dream vacation or a new career, wishing and hoping won't make it reality. So what will? |
| 1-19-2007 Friday | If you haven't figured out yet where you dreams and reality are colliding you may not be looking in the right place. This could be relative to your career, a relationship or even your aspirations for your children. Confronting such realizations is usually somewhat painful but will ultimately allow you to break away from unrealistic expectations and take a more practical path, one that will actually lead somewhere besides a deadend. You are likely to be in touch with your emotions today, but may be too busy grieving for what you've seemingly lost to realize what else is out there, probably at right-angles to what you thought you wanted. This is where you need to trust the Universe to lead you where you need to go. |
| 1-20-2007 Saturday | There's a whole bunch of activity over there in Aquarius today, including the Sun and the Moon. Emotional involvement in the hopes and wishes department is going to be rather strong, yet whatever responsibilities or other roadblocks are in your way aren't about to let go. Unexpected changes or a surprise or two are still in the air, possibly in a big way, and hopefully these will have a bearing on attaining your dreams. If your getting your records together to do your taxes, make sure you have all your T's crossed and I's dotted. There is still some collusion out there between the tax man, the law and authority figures that can give you a rather bad day if you don't follow the letter of the law. It will fade for a while, and then come back in spades during the summer and early fall, so now is not a good time to be anything but squeaky clean. |
| 1-21-2007 Sunday | Your hopes and aspirations are still clashing with reality in one way or another. On top of that, emotions are likely to be a bit skewed toward anger and frustration. Maybe you're frustrated with your life, know something's missing, but don't know what, or just don't know what you want. Maybe you don't believe in attaining your fondest hopes so ignore them. So they're trying to get your attention. Either that, or you've been living in a dream world and ignoring reality. Either way, there is a dialog of sorts going on there and it's up to you to decide how to attain the proper balance in your life between being responsible and what you really want in life. Big changes or surprises are still possible and will be for a while, both on a personal and societal basis. It's also a reasonably good time to communicate legal issues. |
| 1-22-2007 Monday | If there are changes that you want or need to make in your life, your thinking is likely to be focused clearly at last on what is required. That doesn't mean you'll get there anytime soon, but knowing your destination is always helpful when you begin a journey. You're likely to be feeling a fair amount of affection toward your friends these days. We often take them for granted so when we take a moment to consider how important they are, it's always good to let them know they're appreciated. This should be fairly easy since communicating with them should be enhanced and you've probably been already talking to them about your hopes and frustrations. In fact, those conversations are very likely what helped you decide what you really want! The next step is to figure out how to get there. |
| 1-23-2007 Tuesday | You may find yourself having some rather grandiose ideas today that are very heartfelt, plus seem to make a lot of sense, at least to you. If anyone challenges them you are likely to have a very emotional reaction, so make sure you don't overreact. You may be having a hard time resisting those after-Christmas sales and may possible really tempted to buy something a bit beyond your means. Afterall, there's all those free-interest-for-a-year deals out there, so what can it hurt, right? Actually, it can hurt your budget, with or without interest, so give it some serious thought before signing on the dotted line. If you're one of the many who's trying rebuild your finances, this could be a giant step in the wrong direction, so don't let your emotions rule your checkbook (or plastic, as the case may be). |
| 1-24-2007 Wednesday | Emotional energy and commitment is more important than acknowledging the practicality and discipline required to change your life. Some of that is out there today, but you still may be harboring some delusional thoughts or an entitlement mentality that really believes that somehow what you really want in life should be handed to you on a silver platter. The sooner you figure out that you're in charge of your own destiny, the sooner you'll get on track to arrive there. Dreams and reality can get together on the same page if you go about it correctly. It will take a lot of hard work, however, and the inertia involved in any change is hard to overcome. This is when you have to decide just how badly you want something. If you're not willing to work hard for it, then quit whining. |
| 1-25-2007 Thursday | Saturn has certainly been a bad boy lately, making us recognize the numerous boundaries and restrictions that surround us. We are no where's near as "free" as we'd like to think, but without some structure society would be in total chaos. The trick is to learn to work with it, not against it. Sometimes you just have to "play their silly game" in order to get ahead. Whatever frustrations you may have in this regard could cause some emotional outbursts today. Some of what comes out may have been previously unknown, even to you. Get it out of your system, then channel that energy in a constructive way. Change of a transformational nature is possible, but resistance is high. Maybe it's time to figure out just how badly you want something and if it's worth the effort. |
| 1-26-2007 Friday | There are all sorts of zodiacal roadblocks and speedbumps out there today. Saturn is still messing with your fondest hopes and reminding you that your responsibilities are real; you just can't turn your back on everything and ride off into the sunset. Your emotional reaction to this will probably be a lot of griping and a rather large dose of bitterness. After you're through with your temper tantrum you need to take another look at the resources available to you. What have you overlooked? What are you willing to give up to get where you want to go? Is there someone from your past that might be able to help or give you some good advice? If nothing else, repeat the words "nothing worth doing is ever easy" as many times as necessary. |
| 1-27-2007 Saturday | There has probably been a lot going on in your group activities lately, whether it be with coworkers, clubs, organizations, classmates or associates of some other kind. Efforts to get projects underway have probably been sincere, but differences of opinion or other obstacles have probably been apparent. It's important to persevere, however, and work toward a solution because the Universe is really in your corner right now and your motivation is likely to be more self-directed in the coming weeks. So "git 'r' dun" now while everyone is at least interested in the outcome. Upsets and surprises of all varieties, both mental and physical, are out there these days so be careful and practical in all you do. |
| 1-28-2007 Sunday |
You're likely to be restless today, either mentally, emotionally or physically. Find something pleasant to do so you can relax and take care of yourself. Surprises and upsets have been profuse and there seems to be more illness than usual. Therefore take good care of yourself today and/or put all that nervous energy to work in a positive way. Part of the reason is that dream vs. reality theme, which is all over the place again. Listen to your heart and be fair to yourself for a change. If you've been putting something off that you really need to do, you can bet it's nagging on your subconscious. Retrograde Saturn is definitely in everyone's shorts about something these days. See your monthly horoscope for details. |
| 1-29-2007 Monday |
Something from your past may be bugging you today in one way or another. Whatever it might be, there is a message there that you need to decipher so you can move on, whether it's from your childhood, a past relationship or some specific experience. Why did that memory or person surface at this point in time? What message is it trying to give you? If you feel like talking about your feelings today, go for it. It's cheap therapy and vocalizing usually helps sort things out. At least to a point. You need to know when it ceases to be "talking it out" and moves into "whining." Today there should be at least a touch of ambition there that will help you get on track. No one is going to do it for you, so what are you waiting for? |
| 1-30-2007 Tuesday | Emotions are generally a good thing and we have them for a reason. Without them life would be pretty meaningless and unfulfilling. However, with them sometimes life is hell. The key is balance, which isn't always easy to achieve, especially if you're a Water Sign (i.e., Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces) or have heavy Water influences on your Chart. Your emotions and common sense may be having a debate today and you may be seeing things slightly differently than you have in the past. Gaining some information or additional understanding of the past is likely today and that touch of ambition is still there to help you get moving in the right direction, if you aren't already. If you are, kudos to you, and consider yourself blessed as not everyone is so lucky. |
| 1-31-2007 Wednesday |
You're likely to want to stay fairly close to home today or around family members. You may be inclined to talk about something in your past today and in so doing see it a little differently than you did at the time. There's a good chance it will have to do with something that occurred in a group setting of some sort. You may actually be more defensive or egocentric about it now than you were then, but more than likely you'll also finally figure something out that you missed before, making you significantly wiser. After you've talked it to death, unless you're incredibly dense, you'll be sure not to make the same mistake again. In fact, you may be a little surprised that it took you this long to figure it out. Now that you have, accept it and move on. |
| 2-01-2007 Thursday |
[NOTE:--Today is the 4th anniversary of the NASA Columbia accident. If you wonder how NASA's horoscope looked at that time, check out our research in that area.] That Full Moon tonight is going to throw some interesting energy since it forms an aspect called a "Yod" with Mars and Uranus. The result is likely to be some emotionally based, forceful change in direction. Which area of your life this affects will depend on your Sign as well as your individual Natal Chart. You may be able to find a hint in your February Forecast. Something from your past is likely to get your attention today as well, perhaps helping precipitate whatever change comes about. Make it a good one. |
| 2-02-2007 Friday |
You may feel a bit egocentric today but it could be more a case of being a bit defensive and feeling as if in some way you're being held back from what you want to do. Over the next few days you may be a little unrealistic or dreamier than usual. This is not always a bad thing and could precipitate a change in lifestyle that will make you happier than you are now. It will take energy and drive to make the necessary changes, but if you do you'll probably like the result a lot. There are likely to be numerous obstacles in the way, more than likely known as BILLS or other responsibilities. Can you have your cake and eat it to? That, my friend, is entirely up to you. If you're happy in what you're doing you'll come mighty close, but take a good look at the price tag. |
| 2-03-2007 Saturday | You're likely to want to express your emotions today in a rather sentimental way. Your feelings will probably be influenced by something in your past that comes up in some manner which could remind you of how much you really care about your loved ones. You're likely to be a little more emotional than usual as well as philosophical about all this and could even come off sounding a bit didactic if you're not careful. Express your affections, give them a hug and let it go or they might wind up doubting your sincerity or wondering what your problem is. It's time again to be thinking about doing your tax return, if you haven't already, and you're likely to have some drive and ambition in that direction. If you get to that today you may have a surprise or two, but not necessarily bad. |
| 2-04-2007 Sunday | You may find yourself all over the map emotionally today. You may have a disagreement with someone over something you want to change and they may put you on the defensive. Try to be as open-minded as possible and listen to what they're saying with both your mind and your heart. You may be prone to be a little too logical and critical of any view besides your own, which will not benefit you in the long run. I know it gets repetitious, but that dreams versus reality theme is still out there and is going to be for quite some time. This is just as well since things like that are not solved overnight and require some long-term thought and planning. The ultimate result could be very satisfying, however, so give it some serious consideration. |
| 2-05-2007 Monday | Everyone will probably have a tendency to be a bit unrealistic or downright delusional for the next week or so, so you might not want to do anything that requires a lot of logic or precision, like your tax return. And about that time, Mercury will go retrograde again until March 7, so bear that in mind, unless you REALLY know what you're doing. This also means that battle between your dreams and responsibility is probably going to lean somewhat to the unrealistic side, so making major decisions probably isn't a good idea, either. Now is a good time to brainstorm about something that requires creativity, perhaps while lounging on a beach somewhere with a margarita in hand. Lots of luck finding such a place this time of year. |
| 2-06-2007 Tuesday | The Moon has been in a location lately that she has been aspecting a cluster of planets and thus providing periodic emotional surges. The surge du jour is likely to involve justifying our emotional involvement relative to our personal views. They might be just a tad idealistic relative to how everyone ought to get along and all interpersonal communications should be kind and loving. Naturally, not everyone agrees. There is also the ongoing ethical questions of how much the end justifies the means. If you want to get ahead and lead a more comfortable life, including more status and respect, just how much self-promotion should you entertain? Success should be earned honestly because if it's not you have to eventually 'fess up, but sometimes the boundaries are a bit soft. One question; okay make it two: Are you thinking like a politician and will you hate yourself in the morning? |
| 2-07-2007 Wednesday | Those thoughts and emotions you were dealing with yesterday may continue on today for a while and you might get quite comfortable with your point of view and decide to move forward with your plans for advancement. There are still plenty of arguments against it and you may encounter a person or two who make sure you're aware of what they are. Just remember that your personal view of the world is not the same as everyone else's and that it's a subjective opinion that is only important to you. You need to do what you need to do, but also realize that taking responsibility for your actions is part of the equation. Your idea of a perfect world will be unique, but what really matters is if it works for you and you can live happily everafter with the result. [NOTE:--Sometimes they're called consequences.] |
| 2-08-2007 Thursday | Those Moon-inspired emotions should have calmed down and made your thoughts a little more fact-based than they were before. Nonetheless, all those planets in Pisces are not necessarily going to help keep logic in the forefront of your mind. This is not to say that it's an entirely bad thing. There are many times in life when our heart and our head are not in agreement. As you undoubtedly already know, it sucks when this happens because decision making can become very complicated. Many times it becomes a matter of who you're going to make happy, yourself or someone else. Being considerate and responsible are important, but if you tend to always get the short end of the stick maybe it's time to ask whose happiness is more important? |
| 2-09-2007 Friday | Well, so much for the Moon not messing with things. After sitting quietly yesterday and allowing you to think logically, she's back in the action today and stirring the pot on all those things you were thinking about earlier in the week. The Moon has changed signs since then and is now in Scorpio, which will give things an entirely different flavor. While you may have been trying to be fair before, now you're likely to be more of a "Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!" mentality. We're back to that head versus heart issue and today your heart is likely to be ahead by a length. For what it's worth, male - female relations should be fairly positive today, so talking about it should help. Just be careful if you're wearing rose-colored glasses. |
| 2-10-2007 Saturday |
The Moon has really been stirring the pot this week but is probably just trying to lead you through a few things to get ready for the New Moon, which usually means a new cycle of some sort. We're getting settled into a new year and while your resolutions may have already evaporated, there are still things to be done this year. You may not have a clue what they are, but your subconscious does, so what you need to do is learn to listen better. Often those messages will hitch a ride with your emotions, so pay attention to what's behind them. The head/heart and brain/intuition argument is still going on so try to be objective and decide which way you normally lean and how that compares with which way your should lean. Then pay attention to what they're telling you. You might learn something. |
| 2-11-2007 Sunday | There's a tad of romance in the air today, so exploit it for what it's worth, maybe by celebrating Valentine's Day a few days early. There are a few things out there that could mean a disagreement or two, also, so be sure to bite your tongue when necessary if you don't want to see any progress you make go down the crapper. Expressing your emotions will seem easy, because they're probably going to be in high gear today, but the bad news is that they are likely to not come out exactly right and thus be misunderstood. Career ambitions might be on the agenda, but they might interfere with other areas of your life. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to decide which is more important. |
| 2-12-2007 Monday | Things are likely to be quite hectic today, both physically and emotionally. Those nice vibes between the sexes are mild, but may help prevent any disagreements when there are so many other potential issues on the forefront. The bad guy today is Saturn, who will throw shades of authority, responsibility and other types of limitations in all directions. Surprises are still afoot, some of which will reflect ethical concerns and dilemmas. Women are likely to be slightly moodier than usual today and the guys are probably going to be a bit defensive about not being as attentive as the gal in his life would prefer. Have you figured out how to make your dreams part of reality yet? Never give up, never surrender! |
| 2-13-2007 Tuesday | There are some very interesting things going on out there right now. For one thing, expect the unexpected. This could be in the world around you, your personal life, your attitude or what-have-you. Responsibilities are still weighing us down, or at least trying to. The desire to blow it all off and enjoy life is probably stronger than ever. If your decisions are tied into someone else, particularly a significant other, today is probably a good day to talk about what each of you would call a perfect life. Be prepared to defend your point of view, because the other person probably won't automatically agree, but if you have a sincere heart and some good rationale, you may make some headway. Just remember the Golden Rule, because someone may have something they want to change, too. |
| 2-14-2007 Wednesday |
A few things have changed since yesterday, but the major theme remains the same. Thus, if there is something major you want to change about your life, one conversation or one day of motivation is obviously not going to do it anyway. Today is Valentine's Day and these conversations relative to achieving your fondest desires are probably a little deep if you want to make sure you avoid any arguments. Also, our friend Mercury has gone retrograde on us again, which is likely to hinder any information exchange. Emotions are likely to be a bit inflated, also, so your best bet is to "go shallow" today and keep your deeper thoughts to yourself. In all seriousness, introspection is one thing that Mercury retrograde is actually good for. I kid you not. |
| 2-15-2007 Thursday |
Like I said yesterday, Mercury retrograde is good for something and that is introspection. You may not be able to express your ideas very well to others over the next three weeks or so, but you should be able to communicate with yourself just fine. It's also a good time to re-do anything that requires it, also editing, revising or checking over data of any sort. The vibes out there still seem to be pointed at couples and how they can share each other's life without sacrificing those things that they want most. Needless to say if more people were able to achieve this particular feat, we would have more happy marriages and less divorce. Right now the universe seems to be saying it's time to quit denying your dreams, but bring them to pass in a responsible manner. What do you say? |
| 2-16-2007 Friday | Anything about your life that you don't like is probably bothering you in a very real way today. The temptation to blow it all off and go live under a bridge is probably quite strong. Your dissatisfaction could even extend into your past where your "shoulding" on yourself relative to past decisions that turned out to be mistakes. Now is a good time to trust the Universe. We all have certain lessons we need to learn in this life and more often than not, we do so the hard way. If you're uncomfortable with your life, then that means you're learning. Now is a good time to be doing some serious thinking about where you've been and where you're going. Don't discount your dreams or give up on them, even if they seem too far fetched. More often than not, where there's a will, there's a way. |
| 2-17-2007 Saturday | New Moon today which usually means a new beginning. It could relate to your circle of friends, group activities or even your hopes and wishes. You may tend to ponder on your past a little more than usual, which could be the impetus for starting anew. Women are likely to still be a bit more emotional than usual and may be dwelling on the past in a self-defeating way. Couples should generally be getting along reasonably well, however, possible because each is slightly more inclined than usual to be acting out their respective sex roles, i.e. the women feminine and the men masculine. What a concept. If you haven't seen numerous conflicts between reality and perceptions lately you haven't been paying attention or watching the news. |
| 2-18-2007 Sunday | There's quite a convention in Pisces today, with the Sun about to join them later today, which should make everyone a little more pensive than usual, perhaps about the shape the world is in and their place in it. Changes, emotions or thoughts may be generated at a subconscious level that may feel a bit like a case of mental or emotional indigestion. Quality of life on a physical, emotional and spiritual level are likely to become issues in the next few weeks or so. Remember that Saturn is still retrograde as well as Mercury, so there will be a fair amount of activity going on beneath the surface. Now is a good time to take advantage of that internal energy and really think about where you'd like to go and if you're headed in the right direction. |
| 2-19-2007 Monday |
Today should be another emotional day with all that energy in Pisces, i.e. the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus and Uranus. Remember that emotions are triggered by thoughts and your thoughts are probably introspective right now. More than likely you're still ruminating on the past, more than likely on decision points that you might make differently if you could go back. Once you get it figured out, call it tuition and move on, older and wiser. Hanging on to the past is usually not conducive to progress, whether your beating up yourself or someone else who you think ruined your life. You have the power within you to see your baggage for what it is and drop it at the nearest dumpster. All that weight his holding you back on your current journey. N'est-ce pas? |
| 2-20-2007 Tuesday | Your energy and enthusiasm is likely to be high today. This may result in boredom and the desire to do something new and exciting, either for just today or perhaps for the rest of your life. You're likely to still be thinking about the past and trying to break out of a chrysalis of sorts to a new life. Change takes courage, however, and even if we're not happy with the status quo, lots of times it's very hard to make a significant change. Today is a good day to get fired up, however, so use it for all it's worth. Daydream, make some plans, think about what you need to let go of and what you'd like to put in its place. We are usually toting around various worn out items that need to be tossed so we can move on. You know what I'm talking about. So think about it. |
| 2-21-2007 Wednesday |
You may get a little sentimental today if you get to thinking about some of the things that happened in the past. You're likely to be able to use this energy in a positive way, however, if you're willing to give up something or someone you've been holding onto that has outlived it's usefulness. If you've been putting off doing something that could affect your future in either a present or aspired-for career, now would be a good time to finally put your ducks in a row and do something about it. Change is never easy, but once you make up your mind to do the right thing, the Universe has a way of helping you along the way. You need to remember to keep balance in your life, however, so don't correct one area at the expense of another; strive for moderation. |
| 2-22-2007 Thursday | If you don't feel as if you have as much power as you'd like over your life then it's time that you gave it some serious thought. This does not mean in a selfish way but in the sense that you can control your own destiny and do those things that are most important for you to achieve in this life. If someone or something, or even yourself, is holding you back, it's time to put together a plan to get past it. If it's debt, take steps today to get it under control. If it's going back to school, start the application process now so you're good to go in the fall. If it's a relationship that needs work, do what you can to fix it or find help, if necessary. When we're happy and confident we can take care of our responsibilities much easier. At the very least, figure out whatever you need to do to get there. |
| 2-23-2007 Friday | If you've been thinking about how to make your life better, today you may encounter a sanity check if you've been ignoring the limitations between the present and what you'd really like to do. This isn't necessarily a bad thing but an important part of making sensible changes. Don't let it get you down, but do some serious problem solving to strengthen your plan. Hopefully you'll be able to harness some "Can-do" energy that is out there right now. That, coupled with that desire deep within yourself that tells you what you really want in life and your willingness to change in whatever way necessary to achieve your goals could give you the kick in the butt you need to make it so. Just remember that a few months ago it was no more than a dream. |
| 2-24-2007 Saturday | You'll probably encounter another stumbling block today that delivers even more reasons that your hopes and dreams are little more than nice thoughts. Making changes is always difficult and today it will probably seem like much more trouble than its worth. Lots of times it's easier to sit on that small island in your personal swamp than risk encountering the snakes and alligators that lie in wait. If you're not a bit of a fighter, this may be too much and you might decide to bag the whole thing and wonder where you ever got such a crazy idea in the first place. There are dozens of quotes and poems out there for moments like that and I suggest you find your favorite one and put it somewhere conspicuous that you'll see numerous times a day. Or start with: I want this because... |
| 2-25-20077 Sunday | Today you may still be ruminating emotionally on something from your past that you're not quite ready to give up. Understanding it objectively will help, but if you're not quite there yet, at least realize that it doesn't have to affect the present or your future unless you allow it to. The key is to create a new reality for yourself. This will take effort but will have the ultimate payoff. Unless you take control, you're leaving your life and eventual fate in the hands of those around you. No matter how much you may love or trust them, you're not going to achieve your life's purpose plodding along behind someone else. Today is a good time to empower yourself, listen to your heart and move forward in a sensible, logical way. |
| 2-26-2007 Monday | We have quite the mix out there today and it's likely to trigger a lot of good thoughts and introspection. You mind and heart are likely to be communicating quite well today and it will have a sentimental flavor. Mercury is still retrograde and stimulating numerous considerations. Thoughts of the past today are likely to be on the positive side, which could either mean pleasant memories or simple gratitude that you've learned a few things and moved on. There is a lot of emphasis on integrating the spiritual and material side of life these days, which we owe to Neptune and Saturn. They're in near-perfect opposition right now, which will cause a bit of see-saw motion as you try to bring them into balance in your life. |
| 2-27-2007 Tuesday |
I don't mean to sound like a broken record, but that Saturn - Neptune opposition out there is a slow-mover and is going to have a significant effect, though it may come upon you so slowly you hardly notice it. The effect I'm talking about is that dialog between the material and spiritual values in life which could be nudging or even nagging you to set different priorities than you've lived by in the past. That particular aspect is nearly exact so if you haven't thought about it before you're likely to encounter something today that will spark a thought or two in that direction. The Moon is in the mix as well, adding a bit of home-oriented emotion to it all that will cover the spectrum from discouragement to hope. If you haven't figured out those priorities by now today's a good day to do so. |
| 2-28-2007 Wednesday | The battle continues between a sense of responsibility that expects appropriate appreciation and accolades from the recipients and magnanimous freedom and dream pursuit that leaves anything that smells like work or drudgery behind. We all struggle with those feelings from time to time and the real question is where the median would be for your individual life. Balance is the key to success yet that is one of the hardest things to achieve in this life. The drive to pursue a few dreams for a change is there, but if it's too emotionally driven it will burn out before anything of any significance is achieved. Thoughts of your past are likely to surface today during your conversations. The challenge is to understand why and use the lesson to your advantage. |
| 3-01-2007 Thursday | That ongoing battle between spiritual and material values is still raging and it's up to you to decide how to rectify the two into a lifestyle that delivers what you want in life. The Moon is in the mix today as well, which could mean the issue is more emotional than before, one way or the other, depending on who you're arguing with. This along with an unexpected inclination toward expanding your responsibilities instead of reducing them, could influence the argument even though inspiration may be stronger than ever. Changes are inevitable, however, no matter what the decision, and you're going to have to give something up in order to gain what you want. The answer is within you if you'll listen. |
| 3-02-2007 Friday | Expect anything for the next week or so. Things are likely to be hectic, crazy and filled with the unexpected. Blame it on Uranus. Lessons learned from your mother are likely to surface today and help guide you through this ongoing battle between responsibility and transcending to Nirvana. Emotions and logic will also be at odds, possibly based on past baggage that may seem sensible to you, but in reality only exacerbates the problem at hand. If you're looking for a new reality and code of ethics for your life it's entirely possible that you'll have to abandon everything you've thought you've known up to this point. Our personal paradigms die hard, but the best thing we can do for ourselves and our loved ones is to know who we are and act accordingly. If you usually listen to your head instead of your heart, maybe it's time to switch. And vice versa. |
| 3-03-2007 Saturday | Full Moon/Lunar eclipse today which will mark the culmination of something that began last fall (September 22 for you detail-oriented Virgos out there) with a New Moon eclipse. It won't necessarily be something earth-shattering, but if you can think back that far you'll probably be able to identify something that began as an issue back then that has recently been resolved, or will be soon. (The ending may be delayed since Mercury is currently retrograde.) Today's chart indicates that ending comes with a bit of emotional involvement, caring with a touch of anger, and a noticeable change in your behavior, possibly an increase in responsibility. I'll tell you my story if you'll tell me yours.... |
| 3-04-2007 Sunday | That craziness I mentioned a day or so ago is likely to be quite noticeable today, if not before. The urge for change is also likely to be strong today and if you don't recognize where that change really needs to occur, you may be inclined to go out and blow some of your hard-earned money. Before you do that, give it some serious thought because money may not be required to make that feeling go away. Career ambitions may be picking up and if you're lucky you might be getting some ideas relative to that see-saw we've been on lately between responsibility and our idea of a perfect life. There may be an opportunity out there that will make your current means for earning a living more enjoyable. The key is balance, which means bringing some of what you love to do into that you must do to pay the bills. Hmmmm, what could it be? |
| 3-05-2007 Monday | There's a lot of positive energy out there today, which should take some of the edge off the fact that it's Monday. That imposing urge for freedom from the drudgery in your life or other sundry hassles is going to be strong. However, you will also be acutely aware that you'll have to give up some of your favorite creature comforts if you want to break free. Nonetheless, you've probably figured out what needs to change and, if so, you're likely to feel enthusiastic about expanding your horizons, confident you'll meet your obligations, and feel friendly toward the better part of the world. You may even consider directing your ambitions in a humanitarian manner, i.e., volunteer to do something to help others, which will give you a lot of emotional satisfaction. Unexpected events are still on the agenda, by the way, so keep your eyes open. |
| 3-06-2007 Tuesday | All sorts of action out there today with a variety of flavors with Mars and Pluto sitting this one out. That is not a bad thing as those two have rather sordid reputations. Change is everywhere and it's likely to evoke numerous emotions, whether you're in favor of it or vehemently against it. Chances are changes that have been in work for a long time will find completion this week. Opportunities to reach a higher plane of existence are in a teasing mode that could lead you down a primrose path. Be on your guard and ask to see it in writing before falling for anything that sounds too good to be true. Change for change sake alone is nothing but a disruption that won't deliver satisfaction so be careful you don't throw something away you'll be dumpster diving for later. |
| 3-07-2007 Wednesday |
There's a lot of energy and enthusiasm out there that is going to last for several days. The general tone should be optimistic but that's not to say that there won't be conflicts and challenges. If you've taken care of them already, then you can enjoy the fiery boost you're getting from the Universe to move forward. If not, use it to do some brainstorming. In order to figure out where you want to go, you need to figure out where you've been and what it was preparing you to do. Even if you're currently quite content, you need to think about what your next step is to progress. If you're not happy and aren't sure why, then it's time to examine your philosophy of life for clues. The rules of life never change, neither do human nature. |
| 3-08-2007 Thursday | All that energy and enthusiasm I mentioned yesterday has now been joined by some opportunities. It's not going to be handed to you, however; you're going to have to seek it out, recognize it and then put in some effort. Changes are undoubtedly part of the cost and you may not be entirely comfortable or happy about them. The really good news today is the our speedy little friend, Mercury, has stationed to go posigrade so all those communication tangles of the past three weeks should diminish and go back to a more normal rate. You are likely to feel a bit restless or need to make an adjustment internally regarding your responsibilities. Maybe you want more, maybe you want less. Whichever it may be, it's your decision unless you wait too long and someone else makes it for you. |
| 3-09-2007 Friday | There are going to be all sorts of things going on today on numerous fronts, depending on where your sign's natural houses fall. At any rate, you can expect action in several. There are likely to be a few choices presented today that conflict with each other and are part of that ongoing tug-o-war between your responsibilities and other restrictions in your life versus transcending to Nirvana. Don't forget that a lot of that is all in your head and if things were too perfect you'd probably get bored. Really. Maybe you need to adjust your opinion of responsibility to a more reasonable range. Your emotions are likely to be expressed readily and contain a hint of mystery. There may also be an adjustment of some sort required in your love life as well. |
| 3-10-2007 Saturday | Have you used some of that energy out there yet to help you figure out what you really want? Or better yet, take a few steps toward attaining it? Change is seldom easy but if you keep on doing what you've always done, you'll keep on getting what you've always got. If this is working for you, congratulations! If it's not, it's time either to do something about it or quit whining. Opportunities are out there if you follow your instincts and look in the right places. More than likely the past week has been filled with frustrating upsets and disruptions and distracted you from what you really need to be doing. The Universe is giving you a cosmic kick in the butt as well as a cosmic kiss or two if you'll just pay attention. |
| 3-11-2007 Sunday |
If you try to do something that is somewhat eccentric attempting to escape reality chances are that you'll get busted in some fashion. Attempts to explain yourself probably won't go too well, either. Expanding your horizons seems to make sense, but there is probably some intuitive feeling holding you back. If you think about it, that intuition may date back to rules you were taught in childhood, so if they're holding you back give some serious thought to whether they still apply. After all, you have grown up since then and it's a different world out there. If you really want to treat yourself to something that might be a bit extravagant, the real trick is to figure out whether or not you deserve it or not. You should be able to figure it out from there. |
| 3-12-2007 Monday |
Emotional involvement regarding those internal desires of yours will be strong today and likely to push you into the lap of whatever it is you think you want. This is not to say that this is wrong or a bad thing, though it might be. Directing all that enthusiasm toward whatever it is you're hoping for is likely to succeed, but there's probably going to be some internal resistance to change. Something about it still doesn't exactly feel right, does it? But when your intuition and your conscience get into a battle, it's tough to choose sides. Often they're the same source, or at least you think they are, but they're just not in synch. It's a good time to figure out why and then define realistic boundaries that fit what you really want to get out of life. |
| 3-13-2007 Tuesday |
There are still a few opportunities floating around out there if you know where to look. Oddly enough, that may actually be inside yourself. You may encounter someone from your past today who may get your thoughts rolling in the right direction. This could be a phone call, face to face meeting or simply a spontaneous trip down memory lane. Opportunities for advancement don't always mean a promotion at work; sometimes they mean simply getting closer to where you belong in the big scheme of things. You should be feeling practical today, so even if you're inspired it should be relatively close to reality. Your sense of fairness may be on alert and you're likely to be quite vocal about anything you see to the contrary. |
| 3-14-2007 Wednesday | Those opportunities are still out there, but won't be handed to you on a silver platter. Rather, you are going to have to give something up in order to gain whatever it is you're seeking. Life is full of trade-offs and the moments are rare indeed that we can honest enjoy "having it all." Life is all about growth and the unfortunate truth is that we don't grow if we're comfortable. Life is a risky business and if we're too cowardly to engage in it, we're likewise never going to know the satisfaction and rewards that come from putting your butt on the line for something you want. Some people are born with more luck and ease than others; you've seen it, wondered about it, and if you could read their natal charts, you'd understand why. What about yours? |
| 3-15-2007 Thursday | You know that it will involve a trade-off to obtain what you really want. The question is whether or not you're willing to do so. It comes back to that same old responsibilities versus your dreams. However, no matter how practical you may be, (i.e. imbued with those pathetic Earth Signs that give you that incredible over-developed sense of responsibility) it doesn't mean that you are eternally doomed to misery. There is still a lot of energy out there to assist you in finding what you really want in life. You are likely to be able to speak from the heart today, which will enable you to not only communicate with others, but more importantly, yourself. Get your head and heart together and "git 'r' dun." I'm not kidding. |
| 3-16-2007 Friday |
Responsibilities may be kicking you in the proverbial butt today. Whatever you want-- emotionally, idealistically or ambitiously-- is probably hitting a wall. Getting what you want in life seldom comes easy and today you're probably picking up on that in spades. On the other hand, some opportunities are afoot. There are some very strong links between your past, your desires and your thought processes today, which should help you figure out a few things. I know I sound like a broken record, but there is something from your past that you just haven't quite figured out yet. There are some very important lessons in life that you've been missing; once you figure them out, your life will change for the better. Kapeche? |
| 3-17-2007 Saturday | Happy St. Paddy's Day, and there just so happens to be a wee bit of the green in the chart today. It won't exactly bring you a pot o' gold, but there are a few opportunities out there for you to chase instead. There's some interesting potential for personal transformation as you gradually come to grips with something from your past. These thoughts should flow quite readily and be different than you've had before, but likewise bring you forward to a new place. You should be feeling friendly and energetic, especially as a few other things fall into place that will help you expand your world a bit without being irresponsible. Nonetheless, be wary of power trips and don't think just because you got past one hurdle that you've won the race. |
| 3-18-2007 Sunday | New Moon/Solar Eclipse tonight, but it won't be visible here since the Sun will be below the horizon, just like most of us didn't see the Lunar Eclipse earlier this month. Nonetheless, it will have an impact (see your Sign's monthly horoscope for details.) There's a lot of energy in Pisces right now, which will make us all a little dreamier than usual. There is also an easy flow relative to talking to your significant other, perhaps about something you need to learn from the past so you can move forward. There are a lot of big dreams afoot these days. I've been advising that you go for your dreams in a responsible way. On the other hand, maybe you should be more responsible in lieu of chasing rainbows. You know which side you're on. |
| 3-19-2007 Monday | Pluto is squaring the Sun, which will stimulate some digging around in your past. You're likely to do some serious thinking about skeleton's in the closet today, either your own or those of others. This will create an internal dialog regarding your philosophy of life and how it relates to your current actions. Be honest with yourself and figure out if you need to make any changes. Don't be too idealistic and set yourself up for failure, but give it an honest, reasonable appraisal. Expanding your world view should bring both into sharper focus today, so take a good look around you. Talking to someone close to you, like your significant other, may help flush out the truth. If you do it right, you can progress together. |
| 3-20-2007 Tuesday |
There's been a lot going on astrologically the past month or so that has stirred numerous ambitions relative to being satisfied, or at the least, content, with your life. If you already have your answers and have taken steps in that direction, Hoorah for you! I mean it. Change takes courage, griping takes none. If you haven't mapped out your course yet, then you need to consider this quote I ran into the other day from a gentleman named Tim Sanders: Anything less than a conscious commitment to the important is an unconscious commitment to the unimportant. Of course this requires knowing what you consider important. Do you know? If not, isn't it time you found out? |
| 3-21-2007 Wednesday |
There's a strange bit of luck floating around out there today that will somehow mediate any conflicts. There are a couple malefics, i.e. Mars and Saturn, in a tug-o-war today, that will pit your drive and thirst for the ideal environment against harsh, cold reality. However, Jupiter, our favorite benefic (other than Venus, of course) is plopped right, smack between them, spewing green in both directions. This is not to say you'll win the lotto, but possibly you'll find a new way of thinking or the right connection to strike a pleasing compromise. Past memories, possibly unpleasant, may try to trip you up, as well as a general fear of the changes necessary to make it so. Best thing to do is to talk it out with a friend or someone you trust. |
| 3-22-2007 Thursday | Everything I said about yesterday still stands, but now the Moon has dropped in to mess with your emotions in an unfavorable way. No significant change is ever made without emotional involvement, but in this case it is only exacerbating the argument and increasing your resistance to change. We already had enough opposition between dreams, reality and the drive to make them happen, but now that Taurus Moon is involved, you may as well admit that you're figuratively stuck in the mud. The good news is that the Moon moves quickly and will be out of range tomorrow. In the meantime, humor that Moon by enjoying a nice dinner, your favorite adult beverage and perhaps a walk in the park. To quote Scarlett O'Hara, "Tomorrow is another day." |
| 3-23-2007 Friday | If you feel as if you're stuck and can't quite make a decision, a good place to look for help would be your philosophy of life. Have you figured out what's important to you yet? I can't believe you've made it this far through life without knowing that. Fact is, you do know but may have buried it so far beneath your behavior that you've forgotten all about it. You're likely to encounter a conflict or two today that will be the wheels turning. The past may rear it's head and the down side of any changes are likely to present themselves as well. Around the middle of the day it may be hard to express your emotions or conversely, keep them underwraps since they may not be in harmony with what you want to say. Opportunities exist, however, to figure a few things out, if nothing else. |
| 3-24-2007 Saturday | There's a very unique blend of aspects out there today that can really help you get it together, if used properly. That same ol' dreams vs. reality scheme is still in force, but opportunities exist today that could help you balance it out at last. If you can be logical regarding your philosophy of life, which you know may have been a bit extreme lately, maybe you can find an opportunity. This could possibly come about by harnessing some innovative drive with what life has taught you so far, even if it is a bit subjective, and share it with others in a benevolent way. Since we all need to feel as if we're making a contribution, this could possibly help you find a means to satisfy your longings for a richer life. It really isn't all about money. |
| 3-25-2007 Sunday | Yesterday's opportunities are gradually fading away, but it's never too late to make a major change in how you view the world. It's just not as easy when the planets aren't lending extra assistance. Just remember that you can't be truly happy if you're not investing time and energy in what you really value on a personal level. If you think that money fills the bill, yet really aren't content with your life, maybe it's time to figure out that improving your finances alone isn't the answer. Nonetheless, we need money so we can be free to pursue our dreams. Maybe the question you need to ask is why you don't have enough money and really answer it from your heart, not just your checkbook. Having someone hand you a blank check really isn't the answer. Net worth and happiness don't correlate as much as you may think. |
| 3-26-2007 Monday | Opportunities are still out there to solve that dilemma with your dreams on one side, responsibilities on the other. Your dreams are getting a major boost today and you might get downright adamant about going after them. If you find a solid basis for them in your core beliefs you should be able to find a way to attain them. Adjustments will be required, but it might surprise you where they are. Are they really outside yourself or are they old paradigms that need to be tossed in the garbage disposal like that old cilantro decomposing in the back of your fridge? Some luck is out there, waiting to take your hand, if you'll just reach out and take it. Maybe all you need to do is ask. Kapeche? |
| 3-27-2007 Tuesday | If you didn't figure out yesterday where you need to go or what you need to change, up to and including your timeworn and outdated paradigms, the Universe is giving you a second chance today. The only thing that's changed is some additional assistance in identifying what it is from your past that drove you to form the ideas you have and are hanging onto so persistently. Memories of your childhood are likely to cause some mental restlessness as you question their significance. Sometimes we need to clean out our mental and emotional closets, put it in a figurative box and call the Salvation Army to come pick it up. Today should be one of those days. Dump that old baggage and move on. You'll get there a lot faster. Trust me. |
| 3-28-2007 Wednesday | There's a nice balance of challenges and assistance out there today. The same ol' questions are still in force relative to how much you're willing to give versus how much you want to take. You may even think it would be easy to be more altruistic if you didn't have to work so hard for a living. It just seems as if there's not enough time to do it all and ironically the most important things are those that usually get scrapped. Your thoughts for the next couple are weeks may not be clear enough to make much progress since they'll tend to be a bit on the dreamy and perhaps unrealistic side. Call it spring fever if you like, particularly that tendency to celebrate the lengthening daylight with a nice, cold beer, but its origin is Zodiacal. At any rate, resistance is futile so relax and let your subconscious do the work. |
| 3-29-2007 Thursday |
All the planets are in the game today except the Sun, which will allow you to be yourself in spite of all the other influences, of which there are many. The cosmic dance today has multiple partners, all of which are trying to help you find your way through life in a constructive manner. If you have a strong basis for patient affection in your life it may enable you the to be a bit unrealistic in your thinking and any changes you may have in mind. Common sense, however, will offer a sanity check, no matter what your emotions are saying. There is some erratic energy coupled with unconventional ideals, both in a tug-o-war with your concept of discipline and emotion. Look to your past, your ideals, and your heart to pull it all together. |
| 3-30-2007 Friday | You're probably having thoughts a-plenty about just ditching it all and chilling out, which certainly sounds a lot better than the way things have been lately. Sounds good, but you also know that it's your emotions speaking and it would be a trainwreck if you did. Nonetheless, some adjustments to the balance (or lack thereof) in your life are pastdue. There's no such thing as having it all, at least realistically, but you can probably get more satisfaction if you factor in a few more things you really care about. Remember the old adage "All work and no play make Jack a dull boy." Conversely, "All play and no work make Jack a loser who'll be living with his parents when he's 40." The answer is somewhere down the middle. |
| 3-31-2007 Saturday | The Moon is really stirring up a bunch of things today, at least around noon, which could make for a very emotional afternoon. That urge to run away is stronger than ever and if you have the day off, maybe that's exactly what you need to do. Get away from those stressful surroundings to do some uninterrupted thinking. There are no easy black and white answers today, so if you want to feel as if you've accomplished something you're going to have to be willing to compromise a few things. Not to sound like a corrupted CD but the key is balance-balance-balance. Are you working too hard or not hard enough? Are your expectations of yourself and life in general realistic? Do you know what you want? Do you know what you're willing to pay for it? If so, where do you go from here? |
| 4-01-2007 Sunday | The Sun is still minding his own business while the planets and Moon continue to mess with you in one way or another, like some kind of Cosmic April Fools joke. There will be a lot of restlessness out there today, some related to improving your lifestyle or obtaining something you're really salivating over. Chances are it's on sale and really calling your name, but you need to look at your long-term financial goals and make a sound decision whether that particular purchase will move you closer or farther away. If it's a planned purchase and a good deal, go for it; it's an impulse buy, on sale or not, no-go. If you make the right decision the good feeling you're earn will be a whole lot more satisfying that some new toy for which the novelty will wear off in a few days. |
| 4-02-2007 Monday | Full Moon today, which could signal an ending in some area of your life (see April Horoscopes for details for your sign). Emotions could be running a bit high from other aspects as well, several of which will be causing restlessness in a variety of areas. There could be a lot of general dissatisfaction, coupled with determination to upgrade your life in one way or another. However, there is likely to be something in your way that is going to stir up some frustration. Dreams and imagination are all well and good, but they're not necessarily friends with your checkbook. This is undoubtedly not what you want to hear, and the temptation to go out on a limb financially is still fairly strong. If you're old enough to be reading this, then you're also old enough to know the correction answer. |
| 4-03-2007 Tuesday | Your sense of practicality, assuming you have one, should be picking up a little bit today, though it doesn't mean you still don't want whatever it is you've been drooling over the past few days. Chances are you've been doing a lot of whining and complaining about it to someone, too. The dreams are still there in vivid color, and you'd really like to make them come true. It's nice to think that all it takes is some determination but it's seldom that easy. Determination is an important element, but other considerations play a part that you can't ignore. Earning more money is always nice, but it's not always the answer. Often you need to downgrade your wants to be more in synch with your budget. Money isn't everything. Really. |
| 4-04-2007 Wednesday | By the looks of things out there today, that battle between your desire to escape and being responsible has a few more players. It's just possible that your need for material comfort is making it clear that you're not quite ready to live under a bridge, even if that would mean not having to work every day. Maybe your real issue with work is that it's boring, frustrating and doesn't allow you to develop your talents and abilities as you would like. Opportunities are out there today to possible solve some of your dilemma in a different way than you ever imagined. The responsibilities aren't going away and neither are your dreams, but just think what a difference it would make in your life if you could find a way to earn a living that you actually like. Keep your eyes open, today might be the day. |
| 4-05-2007 Thursday | There's a lot going on out there today that is going to cause some restlessness and resistance to any change you're thinking about making. Your motivation is all revved up about doing something in a big way that should benefit your ability to take care of your responsibilities. However, there are numerous other considerations that come into play and prevent this situation from being a no-brainer. Perhaps you've had some ideas that you feel are downright inspired, yet it goes against your definition of discipline in such a way that it seems like the easy way out. Furthermore, no matter how passionate you may feel about it, you also don't want to hurt anyone's feelings, either. Can you spell D-I-L-E-M-M-A? The Moon is really stirring most of this up so don't make any major decisions today. |
| 4-06-2007 Friday | You're still all fired up about something but are feeling quite a bit differently about it today than yesterday. You're probably less conservative and giving it more serious consideration since the speed bumps don't seem quite as daunting today. You haven't entirely forgotten yesterday's concerns, but you're looking for ways around them. Yesterday's passion has cooled a bit and is now more philosophical, though you're possibly getting some resistance from outside. That is probably easier to deal with, however, than the internal battle you were waging yesterday. Arguing with someone else has helped your true feelings to surface and help you find solutions. There may be a minor disruption or two, perhaps triggered by someone from your past, but if you pay close attention it might contain an opportunity. |
| 4-07-2007 Saturday | Today you're likely to buy a lotto ticket, even if you usually don't, simply because there's so much you want that you don't see coming any other way than a windfall. Just remember that the lotto is a tax for those that are poor at math; the odds suck. While the aspects actually aren't bad as far as a big win is concerned, just remember that these transits apply to everyone, at least in Houston, so you have a lot of competition. There is still a lot of energy and enthusiasm out there that seems to be directed toward expanding your career. More than likely there are a few things in the way, like more schooling, a long-distance move, or simply the fact there aren't any offers out there and you can't afford to quit outright. Nonetheless, you're chomping at the bit. Now is a good time to look and plan, but not for calling in favors or networking because you're likely to come on too strong. Sit tight for now. |
| 4-08-2007 Sunday | There's more emotion out there today than logic, so bear that in mind. You're still feeling enthusiastic about something and anxious to get to it, but various changes and adjustments to your current lifestyle are required first. You probably want it all--plenty of money, a luxurious home, a perfect partner and a job you love. Right, and people in Hell want ice water. Nonetheless, it's Easter so I'll try to be more optimistic. I saw a good quote that fits the general astrological climate we're experiencing lately, though I don't know whom to give the credit. To wit: Remember your dreams and fight for them. You must know what you want from life. There is just one thing that makes your dream become impossible: the fear of failure. 'nuff said. |
| 4-09-2007 Monday | You might be inspired today with an idea that really fits you well and could result in achieving much of what you're looking for in life. There are definite opportunities out there today, but they won't be handed to you on the proverbial silver platter. Your obligations aren't going away anytime soon, but maybe you'll figure out how to handle them better than you have in the past. Don't let past experience discourage you, but don't ignore it, either. Learn from your mistakes and move on. In order to make your dreams reality you may need to adjust your attitude. Do you know the difference between a "need" and a "want?" It's a good time to scrutinize your general view of the world and see if it's still in synch with both. |
| 4-10-2007 Tuesday | If you need to discuss something with your significant other today, things may not go too well. One or both of you may have your heart in one place and your head in another; if you don't even know what you want yourself, you're certainly not going to express it very well to someone else. All that inspiration is still out there, but the opposition has increased. Yes, you want a better life; yes, you're willing to make some changes; yes, you know what you want, but why does something always throw itself in your path just when you start to make some progress? If there's anything that's constant, it's change and the planets aren't going to freeze in position anytime soon, so hook yourself up to your goals with some strong elastic and just keep moving in that direction. |
| 4-11-2007 Wednesday | All righty, folks, it's still not too late to take advantage of all that enthusiasm and opportunity smiling down at you from the heavens. What inspiration have you had lately that can be converted into an avocation or, better yet, a career? The dialog between your head and your heart should be flowing, which should help you get a grip on what you really want. Even if your track record in the past was less than stellar it doesn't mean that this time things won't work out. Have you ever figured out whether you can scale back your standard of living to get by on less so you can try something new that will be more satisfying? I've said it before and I'll say it again: If you keep on doing what you've always done, you'll keep on getting what you've always got. |
| 4-12-2007 Thursday | If you don't seem to be making any progress lately it could be because you're ruminating too much on your past. You may have come across someone or something that took you back a few years, but be careful that you don't have an overly romanticized view that doesn't fit reality. Male - female relations may be a bit strained today and not being able to agree on something is likely though the guys are likely to be posited on more emotional ground than the gals. A close examination of your core beliefs should be on your agenda, but make sure you don't fall prey to an overdose of idealism. Keep your concerns logical and throw some of that mental energy their way to find a solution. |
| 4-13-2007 Friday |
There are opportunities out there today, but largely on the personal side, i.e. to learn something or change your point of view. You may have a tendency to come on a little stronger than necessary, so keep that in mind, especially since you're likely to be a bit on the emotional side as well. Male - female relations are still not exactly on the positive side, so maybe it's better to just keep quiet until things lighten up a big. The past just seems to keep popping up lately, in one form or another. It could be simply memories or possibly running into people you knew way-back-when. Think about who you were then and how you've changed; if you haven't, maybe it's time you did. |
| 4-14-2007 Saturday | You may have a lot of emotional energy today or at least notice it in others, who seem more unpredictable than usual. Conversations are likely to be a bit tense as a result, so if you have anything you need to discuss that's controversial in any way, it would probably do you well to wait a few days before opening that particular door, unless you enjoy recreational fighting. This is especially true for male - female relations right now, though it's very possible that the males will be more emotional and the females more logical about the issue at hand. There is likely to be a lot of introspection relative to ethics in the next few months and right now is a good time to consider your own. Inspiration is still afoot, which could help in any number of ways. |
| 4-15-2007 Sunday | Someone may get in your face today or some other annoyance may come along. Chances are fairly good that it will be someone of the opposite sex. You're likely to have make some adjustments in how you handle your responsibilities in the next few weeks due to some unexpected event, so now is not the time to go out and make some big purchase. If you've been feeling tied down lately, a change in attitude would go a long way toward solving some of your frustrations. Now is a good time to think about what you really expect out of life, what you've done about it in the past and what you'll be doing about in in the months to come. It's one of those things that you need to do yourself; no one else can do it for you. |
| 4-16-2007 Monday | Today you should think really hard about how you fit into life. You're probably feeling pretty good about yourself so give it some thought. What do you really believe in? What contribution do you want to make? What exactly does success mean to you? Once you have a few answers, no matter how basic, dig into your past a bit and measure how much your ideas have changed and why. Is it time for them to change again? The vibes calling attention to your material versus spiritual existence, i.e. your responsibilities versus your dreams, are still there. They answer you may be looking for could lie in your core beliefs. As a side note, the guys and gals are still coming from different directions, so even if you don't have a flat-out argument, you're likely to be on different pages. |
|
4-17-2007
Tuesday New Moon |
There's a lot of energy out there today that is pointing toward some major transformations. Your head and heart are likely to be in synch, thanks to that New Moon, and lessons from your past should be coming into focus in such a way that you experience a significant change in how you see the world. This is likely to be experienced more at the emotional level than the mental as neither your thoughts, much less words, will be adequate for expressing it. If you haven't admitted to yourself yet that some adjustments need to be made, hopefully the emotional surge you feel today will give you the needed motivation. Cliche though it may be, we are the sum-total of our experiences. What do you need to do to make the most of them? |
| 4-18-2007 Wednesday | At some point today you may be acutely aware and somewhat restless due to the restrictions in your life. The real question, however, especially if you tend to be a bit overly dramatic about them, is how many of them are self-imposed? If you decide to make some changes make sure you think them through carefully and aren't overly optimistic. It's always wise to make sure you have all your facts straight before making a big fuss or rebelling against something. If anyone crosses you today, you may have a tendency to express yourself in a very assertive manner that could even become a power trip. No matter what, don't overestimate your capabilities to do too many things as once, no matter how much you think you want the result. |
| 4-19-2007 Thursday | You're likely to be bothered emotionally today about something from your past. In general you'll know what you need to do to get past it, but someone or something might get in your way so that it's not as easy to let it go as you'd hoped. Nonetheless, there's a lot of energy out there that will help sort things out. It's possible to incorporate both optimism as well as discipline in your ideas, which is a powerful combination. The caution still holds, however, to not overestimate what you're capable of doing. Dogged determination may be a key ingredient in any success, but make sure you know what you're getting into and not over do it to the point you get burned out before reaching your goal. As always, balance is the key. |
| 4-20-2007 Friday | The Sun moved into Taurus today, which will help fuel your determination, particularly if you're still trying to overcome your past. If you want something badly enough that you're willing to work hard for it, that's all well and good, but make sure you have all the necessary data before making any irrevocable changes. The desire for change is likely to be very strong, but there's also a high likelihood that you're refusing to see the alligators in the water. You may think you're being logical about it, but that involves taking a 360 degree look at the entire situation, not just the part you want to see. If this is something you've been thinking about for a long time, the next few days may see some of those frustrating delays finally get out of your way. Just make sure you have all your ducks in a row before making your final move. |
| 4-21-2007 Saturday | Your ideas are likely to flow with a tremendous amount of enthusiasm today and more than likely they're going to seem like the best thing since sliced bread. If you're really out in left field you'll probably hear a voice in your head, specifically your mother, setting you straight. It may be the same lecture you received many years ago when you had some hare-brain idea. Who and what you are now versus then is the difference. If you believe in yourself and are really convinced you're not being overly optimistic, then you need to explain your rationale to yourself as well as "Mom" until you either dispel your doubts or recognize she was right--again. All those changes you want to make are noble enough if they're part of your plan for self-discovery, but don't let your restlessness blind you to reality. |
| 4-22-2007 Sunday | There should be some opportunities out there today to, at the very least, identify what some of your dreams are. You certainly can't go after them if you don't know what they are, so give them some serious thought. Just make sure that all that emotional energy is directed in a sensible manner. There could be a tendency today to be too easily swayed by a hard-luck story or some other ploy that capitalizes on your willingness to help others. Helping others certainly builds good karma, but there are some people out there who expect everything to be handed to them with little or no effort on their part. There's a big difference between being a good Samaritan and sucker. Make sure you know the difference. |
| 4-23-2007 Monday | Whichever side of the fence you happen to be on, there's a strong inclination to express your opinion in a very lively manner, perhaps about your take on personal responsibility and/ or how that relates to current political policies. Some major changes are probably in order, but more than likely there will be little agreement about what they should be. Both sides will have to make some adjustments in order to reach an agreement and most likely no one will be deliriously happy. Arguments are likely and could also affect personal relationships. The world has been a bit crazy lately and the planets are certainly doing their share to keep things stirred up. Guard your temper and try to express yourself in a non-aggressive way if you want to make any progress. |
| 4-24-2007 Tuesday | That urge to communicate your views, perhaps in a forceful way, is gradually fading away, though many of the sentiments won't for a while. The need for change remains quite strong and is still causing some restlessness. You will probably have to defend your viewpoint so make sure you have some solid logic on your side since getting emotional will probably not do you any good; all that will do is stir up emotions in your opponent, which will not help you come to a responsible and sensible solution. Thoughts of the past are still floating around out there and the key is to determine why they're surfacing now and what you missed the first time around. Again, guard your temper and make sure any enthusiasm is well-founded. |
| 4-25-2007 Wednesday | There is quite a bit of conflict and opposition out there, which isn't particularly new. The battle of the sexes is still in force with the ladies perhaps a bit more logical than the guys in this particular case. If you're male, listen up; if you're female, remember that all the logic in the world can't change someone's mind once they get emotional about it. That restlessness for change is still there and not going away anytime soon. Don't be too abrupt but think all sides of it through from every angle before committing to anything. That internal dialog with your past is still alive and well, so make the best of it. Don't do the "shoulda-woulda-coulda" routine but think it through as it applies to today. There's a lesson there. Find it. |
| 4-26-2007 Thursday | The guys are still pretty adamant about making some changes while the gals are on a much different page and may actually come across an opportunity or two if they keep their eyes open. Your head and your heart should be in fairly consistent agreement today, so it's a good time to think things through and make some decisions. Big ones come in small increments, so if you simply take one logical step in the right direction you've made progress. One of the things that makes us human is the ability to synthesize information and put random facts together in a coherent way. Some people are better at it than others, which ultimately makes a major difference in their lives. There's some astrological help out there today so use it. |
| 4-27-2007 Friday | There is some major opposition out there today, much of it thanks to the Moon, which will throw a lot of emotion into it. Since the Moon is in Virgo, this is likely to be on the critical and possibly ornery side but based more on fact and circumstances than for other signs. Since the Moon moves quickly this won't be in effect for too long, but there is likely to be a surge around midday. There's a tremendous amount of impetus for change out there these days, which is causing some restlessness and the need for some adjustments. You may not be personally involved in much of this, but could well be a bystander with little influence. The powers-that-be may be taking a hard look at themselves today. With luck, maybe they'll get a clue. |
| 4-28-2007 Saturday | Not too much has changed since yesterday other than the fact your emotions don't particularly agree with your logical thoughts relative to the meaning or application of your past. Emotions, when they come from the heart, don't always steer your wrong, but you need to make sure that you can live with the long-term consequences when it's contrary to good sense. The best bet is probably not to make any major decisions until tomorrow when you can hopefully be a bit more objective. A surprise, disruption or unexpected event is likely, if it hasn't happened already. Whatever it is, it could cause an adjustment of some sort in your responsibilities, which will also tie into an opportunity of some sort and a long-term advantage. |
| 4-29-2007 Sunday | Today is very likely to bring some surprises or unexpected events of one kind or another. The cause is a Mars-Uranus conjunction and you've been seeing its effects for a couple of weeks now between people going psycho and even the weather. There's definitely something afoot when it's in the high 70s in The Netherlands and in the 40s in Texas in late April. Along with the strong need for change, which is likely to be very emotionally based, your heart and head are likely to be arguing today. The subject is likely to be stability versus what really constitutes a good quality of life. There's a definitely sense of restlessness and need for adjustment somewhere and if you haven't figured out what it is yet, you probably will today. |
| 4-30-2007 Monday | Talk is likely to be profuse and cheap today and imbued with lots of emotion, benevolence and idealism that will somehow sound a lot more logical than it really is. You may be getting a better grip on your various responsibilities, or may even have an opportunity to expand them via a promotion or other opportunity. Nonetheless, at the same time the urge for change and a possibly explosive drive to make it happen are likewise on your mind. So many choices in life aren't black or white or good or bad but simply a turn in the road. The important part is where they'll take you. Of course you usually don't know where that will be, but usually the major ones offer some kind of a clue. Sometimes the lack of a reason not to do something is the most you'll ever know and you'll just have to trust your intuition. |
| 5-01-2007 Tuesday | Your head and heart are likely to be in a standoff today, so don't be surprised if they get into an argument or two. This is possibly being reinforced by a very strong urge to do something really flakey, even though you know that it isn't logical. You may be taking a good, hard look at your values and beliefs these days, which put more considerations in the queue. Expressing yourself shouldn't be a problem today, though you'll probably be bouncing from logic to emotion like a wound up metronome. If you've been thinking of your past lately and some of the people in it, you may be trying hard to let something go, but can't quite get there, yet another indecision point between your mind and heart. That particular dilemma is likely to get worse before it gets better. |

Full Moon/Scorpio |
Full Moon in Scorpio bright and early this morning, meaning the culmination of another cycle. For more details on how this lunation may affect you, check the monthly forecast for your specific astrological sign. There's a lot of intensity associated with this one and possibly some opposing views that rival an immovable object and irresistible force. Now that the Sun is well into Taurus, we're all going to be thinking stability. That is not to say that all the effects of that Uranus-Mars conjunction are gone. How crazy has your world been the past two weeks? If you haven't noticed anything awry or unexpected or downright insane, ask around. For some real interesting stories, check with one of your friends in law enforcement because he or she is bound to have some dandies. Advice for the day: Try not to be too idealistic and put the past in its place. |

Thursday |
If the events of the day are so annoying you can hardly contain yourself, maybe you need to take a good, hard look at your expectations. If you're a little too idealistic, some of those unexpected speed bumps and disruptions are going to be a lot harder to take. As much as we'd all like to call all the shots in our life, this isn't going to happen anytime soon. Examining the basis for your core beliefs is a good exercise that could help you discover the roots for some of your intolerance. Unexpected events could be affecting your responsibilities in one way or another, more than likely increasing them. Remember the old adage about making lemonade when life gives you lemons. If you're feeling restless, an attitude adjustment will probably help. |
|
5-04-2007 Friday |
Common sense should start prevailing a bit more these days, even though surprises, disruptions and the unexpected will continue for another week. You're likely to have an emotional reaction to some of them, if for no other reason than you're tired of all the drama. Romantic entanglements are possible if one or both parties have expectations that are too high. Remember there's a difference between what a person can do and what they will do. It may seem reasonable enough to you, but their reaction may be another one of those unexpected events if you push too hard. Nonetheless, clear thinking, even if it's a little self-centered, is on its way and you're likely to think in a responsible manner, even though you probably resent all the speedbumps in your path. You're likely to question any restriction, including laws you think are stupid. The restlessness and urge for change is still there, but now your plans are starting to make better sense than when they were merely screams of protest. |

5-05-2007
Saturday |
Better lay low around the middle of the day as the Moon starts throwing an extra dose of emotionalism toward all those many things that are on your mind. You're likely to have some pretty strong feelings about a variety of things and chances are any logic will be among the missing. Don't make any large purchases or make any big decisions unless they've been in work for a while and you know your reasoning is sound. Sometimes we just need our heart to step in to validate a decision, which is okay, just don't be too reactive and do something stupid. Today would be a good day to workout or at least take a nice, long walk to dispel some of that restless energy and general feeling of rebellion. While you're at it, count your blessings and think real hard about which ones you're really ready to give up. |

Sunday |
The ladies have been fairly logical lately, but today that might not be the case. Their ambition or possibly even a power trip may be in high gear today, to the exclusion of everything else . Your best bet may be to just stay out of the way. You're probably still not too happy about the restrictions in your life, especially when the urge for some constructive change is still so strong. There's a bit of delusion out there today, so don't take all of those ideas too seriously, but there are a few opportunities out there as well, so turn on the discernment. You could encounter someone from your past today, probably a female. It may be no more than a memory, but it will stir emotions of some variety. Maybe something your mother told you a long time ago is finally starting to make sense. Pay attention, it may have more answers behind it than you think. |
| 5-07-2007 Monday | The focus today is on responsibility, which is the key to everything else you want. If you work hard, handle your finances properly and control yourself in a reasonable manner, you'd be surprised what you could achieve. You're likely to not exactly want to hear that, however, since your longings for change and a more satisfying life probably include working less and enjoying life more. Opportunities are out there, however, that could bring it all together if you pay attention. Your head and heart should be in harmony today and deep down you should have a lot of common sense and stable ideas. Restlessness for change is frequently a good thing if it's done in a sensible manner. Talk over your ideas with someone you trust, possibly someone older and wiser. |
| 5-08-2007 Tuesday | There's a lot of restlessness out there today in various forms. Beware of too many distractions and pay attention to what you're doing because the climate is very conducive to accidents of all kinds. New insights into your deepest beliefs, lack of stability in some area of your life and possibly a disagreement of some description with one of the females in your life are all likely to be getting on your nerves in a big way. Disappointments relative to events that occurred in the past are likely, coupled with possible anger at yourself for decisions that turned out to be wrong. Don't beat yourself up, however, because you're actually making progress since you can't change those things you don't recognize. Taking responsibility for your actions is essential and once you recognize your wrong turn and make up your mind not to do it again you can move forward in a positive manner. |
| 5-09-2007 Wednesday | There's a whole bunch of discontent out there today about everything from your lovelife to your payscale and job description to the slimeball people you see everywhere (particularly politicians) to the plethora of other frustrations that keep you from making the changes you need to make. Someone or something from your past is also annoying you somewhat like a splinter you can't quite see but reminds you it's there at the most inopportune times. Some of your drive may not be based on anything other than anger relative to past mistakes. Resolution is necessary before you can move on, even though it may be about as pleasant as cleaning out a catbox. Make sure you vent to the right people or they might label you in a way that will derail your aspirations like a runaway train. Adjustments to your expectations are a good place to start with opportunities to change more than likely looking back at you from the mirror. |
| 5-10-2007 Thursday | The restlessness is still there, though some of the past that's haunting you is really the result of you refusing to change your way of thinking. Your belief system is the basis for your opinions, and it's a good time to take a good, hard look at it and see if it's reasonable. Wanting to reform the world into Utopia is noble enough, but Utopia would be something different for everyone on Planet Earth. Don't think that your opinion is the end-all, be-all and everyone else should give homage. Opportunities to learn from the past at the emotional level are there, which will ultimately help you to change your thinking to a more healthy mode. There's a good chance that you're what needs to change, not the world as a whole. Changes are coming, but they won't be to everyone's liking. Hope for the best and prepare for the worst. |
| 5-11-2007 Friday | Things have calmed down a bit out there, though you may still be sifting through the past with all the enthusiasm of cleaning out an overused catbox. Hidden beneath the surface are numerous clumps relative to your childhood or past lovers who dropped a deuce or two when they slammed out the door or drove you to do the same. You're likely to find a listening ear, but be sure to put a logical spin on it all or they may do it for you. Misplaced anger can make you look pretty foolish if you're not careful and being labeled as a whiner won't do you any good in either your personal or professional life. That dreams versus reality tug-o-war is still there, with your willingness to make it so by appropriate action at the center of the argument. Adjustments to either you, your expectations or your lifestyle are calling your name. If you listen you might be surprised what you may learn. |
| 5-12-2007 Saturday | Pluto is up to no good today in various areas. For one thing, continue to be careful because he's squared off with Mars which can predispose us to accidents and mishaps of various kinds. Don't be impulsive or take anything for granted. The world around you is probably still rather hectic, though the frantic pace of the last few weeks should start to mellow out over the next few days. Someone could try to take advantage of you so keep those antennae deployed and listen to your instincts. Helping someone who is genuinely in need is commendable, but if they're undeserving of help you're not helping yourself or them. Your boss could be thinking about making some changes that will require an adjustment on your part. You might not like it at first, but it should be to your advantage in the long run. Policy changes are in work in various venues, some good, some bad. Strong emotional reactions are possible today. so try to keep your cool. |
| 5-13-2007 Sunday |
It's Mothers' Day today and if you don't come up to the expectations of one or more of the females in your life you may hear about it. There may be some fairly strong inclinations to go do something a lot more fun than visiting "mom" but if you give into them be prepared to pay a price of some sort. A spirit of ill-founded rebellion could be threatening your sense of security and good sense. If this is the case, bear in mind that being ignored or neglected is not something that most moms enjoy. Some surprises relative to education, legal or ethical concerns are likely and that Mars-Pluto faceoff is still in force so continue to be cautious and exercise good sense. You're likely to witness a power trip or two, even if it's no more than the drivers sharing the road with you being a bit crazier than usual. Make sure you're not one of them. |
| 5-14-2007 Monday |
If you're trying to accomplish something you may find that something keeps getting in your way. Time just seems to be slipping away and there aren't enough hours in a day to get things done. Maybe it's time to start seeing things the way they really are and not how you'd like them to be. Thoughts from the past are probably still flitting into your minds like butterflies. They could be brief memories of certain individuals, classes you had many years ago or even old movies or television programs. Some will have meaning, others won't. Mars and Pluto are still squared off, which is no better today than it was yesterday. Be careful and don't take anything for granted, including that it always happens to the other guy. A surprise of some sort may necessitate a sudden adjustment to your current routine. This will be in effect for several days, so don't make any big purchases are jeopardize the balance of your life for a while, in case someone or something else does it for you. The women in your life may still be a bit out of sorts so don't be looking for any favors from them anytime soon. |
| 5-15-2007 Tuesday | The ladies are likely to be in true form today and if there is anything amiss you're likely to hear about it in a seemingly incessant exposé. Oddly enough, if you're of the female persuasion, you'll be able to get at least something of what you want through this, but don't tell the guys. Speaking of guys, they'll probably be firmly rooted in reality and if anything isn't entirely logical they're likely to blow it off. Changes how you and everyone else sees the world are still out there, so maybe it's time for a reality check for everyone. Things are changing and if you snooze you lose. Changes, many of which make little or no sense, are all around and they're likely to impose some changes in how you conduct your life. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but planning will make the transition easier. You may not be able to count on anyone else to help you get there, however, so remember the old adage, "If you want something done right, you need to do it yourself." |

Wednesday New Moon |
New Moon today, the effects of which are best found in your monthly horoscope for your specific sign. This potential new phase ties the strength and stability of a Taurus Moon to your imagination and any ideals you may have established, perhaps giving you a strong determination to implement them more strongly in your day to day life. This could include deepening your spiritual values on the positive side or perhaps some delusion or escapism on the negative. Reality is not exactly stepping aside, however, so you should be able to achieve a reasonable balance if you try. One of the females in your life, perhaps your mother or sister if not a friend, may dump something on you today that is less than enchanting. It may go completely against the grain of your inner compass and you're likely to say so. There are some ethics-related disruptions out there that could ultimately move you up the career ladder, though any addition in responsibilities is likely to necessitate some adjustments. Only you can decide whether it's worth it or not. |
| 5-17-2007 Thursday | If you have any secrets or baggage from your past that is screaming for absolution, they'll probably be particularly loud for the next couple of days. An emotional adjustment could be necessary relative to your need for recognition for all you do. This could be for a variety of reasons. Perhaps you don't do nearly as much as you think you do or think it has more value than it does to others. Or, conversely, maybe everyone around you really is a bunch of selfish, entitlement-minded buttheads. A large part of what we do every day is simply under the category of "Real Life" and not particularly note worthy to anyone but you, so don't be too hard on those around you for not throwing profuse kudos in your direction. Nonetheless, if you're feeling rather walked on, it's a good idea to point it out, if for no other reason so they won't wonder why when you walk out the door. Thoughts and discussions today are likely to be more emotional than usual but their basis will be logical, so it may be a good time to talk about anything that requires discussion. |
| 5-18-2007 Friday | Today is a good day to avoid discussions of a sensitive nature, e.g. politics and religion. If you persist, you're likely to get a surprising reaction from someone that may not be particularly pleasant. Thoughts of the past, particularly your upbringing and about your mother, are likely today. You may find you have a greater understanding of various things now than you did before, which is a good indication that you are growing and progressing as a person. The majority of families are far from perfect and these insights could take either direction, i.e. that of understanding more or perhaps understanding less, if your early homelife was substantially less than ideal. You may be inclined to refuse to budge relative to some of your opinions of past events, but if there's work to be done that retrograde Pluto will flush it out sooner or later like astrological Drano. Any unconventional dreams lurking in your mind are likely to find emotional expression today. It's probably best not to take them too seriously. |
| 5-19-2007 Saturday | There are lots of conflicts and general restlessness out there today. For starters, the males are going to be very male and the females are going to be very female, including perhaps an overdose of emotion, which is likely to make things pretty interesting. Ruminations on the past, its meaning and possible implications are still getting under your skin, though you're probably not quite sure what to do with any of it. There's likely to be a sense of rebellion against the status quo, though more than likely it's not very well founded in reality, no matter how good it may sound at the moment. Discussions of a philosophical nature are likely and there will be various viewpoints besides your own. Instead of simply arguing, remember to do some listening and maybe learn something, though being more receptive to new ideas is likely to be easier in a couple of days when the Sun completes his tour of Taurus and heads for Gemini. |
| 5-20-2007 Sunday | There's a lot of undirected energy out there right now coupled with a bit of nervousness so make sure to watch your temper and burn it off in a positive way such as working out, doing some yard work or other physical outlet. If there's anything about your life that isn't satisfactory you're likely to be doing some introspection on it. Venues will include past mistakes, unfulfilled dreams as well as any changes or adjustments that you need to make to your obligations, monetary and otherwise. Sorry, guys, but the ladies are still likely to be a bit on the emotional side, but the good news is that there's a fairly good chance it will be more positive than before, which in some cases wouldn't take much. They're likely to be questioning some things and looking for some positive changes, so don't dismiss it all as a bunch of female drivel because you could gain in the long run if you pay attention. |
| 5-21-2007 Monday | There's still a lot of restlessness and nervous energy out there but there's a better than average chance for it to be expressed in a positive way. If there's something you've really been wanting to do, now is a good time to get started. The Sun slipped into Gemini today which will also bring more incentive to get going on something you know needs to get done. Nesting instinct for the ladies is likely to be strong, though there may be a tendency to be a overly optimistic regarding what you want to accomplish. For example, you may be wanting to put together a family reunion or gathering and expect that everyone will be as enthusiastic and willing to make it happen as you are whereas others may want to take a memorable vacation. It's a good day as well to put a logical spin on some of those seemingly impossible or ridiculous dreams you've been harboring. |
| 5-22-2007 Tuesday | There's a lot of confusion out there, which shouldn't be anything new. Beware of a tendency to rationalize your rebellious points of view in such a way that they eventually make perfect sense to you; everyone else thinks you've blown a breaker. Tripping over your ego is likely sometime soon if you persist in being over-confident due to the fact that you are happily ignore the facts. Don't be fooled into thinking you're incredibly brilliant just because everything seems to be falling into place. Emotions will still be running in high gear and your sense of self-importance is going to be flying right up there with the Goodyear blimp. Furthermore, no matter how flakey some of your ideas may be, it's likely that at least one of the females in your life will appear to agree, even if they're not entirely comfortable with your thoughts. Tying all these thoughts and emotions together into reality isn't likely to happen today because you're leaving out a few key facts and misinterpreting all that energy as inspiration. |
| 5-23-2007 Wednesday | Delusions of mental grandeur are still flitting about like litter on the breeze. You probably still haven't figured out what to do with all that extra energy, which is truly a shame because about the time it goes away you'll have all sorts of ideas of what you should have done. If you're on a budget or trying to save money, avoid shopping today, especially around electronics stores or other outlets that handle a large variety of innovative items. You could be prone to excesses in other areas as well, so hang onto you wallet. There may also be a tendency today to be overly critical of yourself and others. The faults you see are real enough and recognizing them is the first step to improvement, but don't beat yourself or someone else up so completely that discouragement overcomes the desire for change. The ladies are likely to be more nurturing than usual for the next few weeks though they may also come up with some rather strange ideas. The political climate is going to continue to be saturated with ethics issues while Jupiter is retrograde and it's likely that a few facts will come to light that will cause some significant reformations. |
| 5-24-2007 Thursday | The ladies have had a pretty rough month and today is not much better. There's a lot of restlessness out there and there's a good chance that they're wanting to let go of some of their responsibilities and spend more time with their family. To work or not to work could become an issue, but in today's society where it takes two incomes to make ends meet, there are no easy solutions. Being a full-time mom always sounds good when you have to go to work every day, but in reality it's not as glorious as it may sound. This is not to say that some changes aren't in order but maybe there are other options available other than staying home 24/7. Thoughts and conversations relative to the past are likely with a slight does of idealism relative to the future. There is still a lot of random energy about and you're likely to not have a strong sense of direction today, just lots of thoughts and ideas. |
| 5-25-2007 Friday | Restlessness and the need to adjust to new realities are profuse today. A home-based annoyance of some sort is likely to arise that will result in some emotional discussions, ruminations on the past, and some questionable decisions that perhaps are coming back to bite you. The Sun is still unaspected and so is Mars, which will isolate you somewhat from internalizing the day's events and provide another dose of undirected energy respectively. How nice it would be to live in a perfect world is likely to come into the conversation, but bear in mind that this isn't going to happen anytime soon, no matter how much you and everyone else would like it. Your boss may be getting on your last nerve today, which might drive you to update your resume and look for another job. If you look at today's transit chart you can see that there's a lot going on, no thanks to the Moon. Just don't do anything too drastic based entirely on emotion. |
| 5-26-2007 Saturday | Rebellion of some description or perhaps resistance to change is still there, probably because something doesn't fit in with how you see the world, at least from your knothole. However, you're probably not entirely comfortable blowing it off, either, because something's there that keeps nagging at you in the most persistent manner. Perhaps it's a voice from the past that sounds a lot like your mother trying to get you to do something you know you should do but don't want to. In addition, there's some restlessness out there that could have something to do with an idealistic view of what constitutes nurturing or affection. The Sun and Mars have been sitting things out for the last few days, but the Moon pulled them back into the action today. This will tend to bring your temper close to the surface and cause you to be a bit too fixated on your own self-interests, first and foremost. Mercury and Pluto are in a dos-à-dos which is probably unearthing all sorts of information you didn't know before. |
| 5-27-2007 Sunday | Today is a good day to finally get a sense of direction relative to all the thoughts and opinions you've tossed around lately. If you manage to get a few quiet moments alone, you'll probably be able to see them gradually come into focus and make a lot more sense. Change is seldom easy, even when it's in a positive direction, but it always helps to fix your eyes on a star and keep it in sight. Those introspective and perhaps slightly dark thoughts are still flitting around your mind like moths drawn to a lightbulb. It's still not too late to do some serious spring cleaning, this time in the mental baggage department. This could have an effect similar to washing windows and allow more light in the form of positive thoughts and aspirations to take their place. Nonetheless, looking directly at the Sun is seldom a good idea and if you're not careful you could fall for a delusion or two. Just make sure that star is really a star and not a wayward planet or manmade satellite or you might wind up in an entirely different place. |
| 5-28-2007 Monday | If you've been kidding yourself about anything lately you are probably finding it harder and harder to maintain the delusion. Facing reality isn't always pleasant, but in the long run you'll be better prepared to deal with things versus ignoring them. There is a bit of help working things out today that will provide you with a sense of fairness and objectivity in looking at the facts. The ladies are still basking in waves of femininity and possibly a little on the flakey side today, but in a pleasant way. They're also probably a bit prone to daydreaming, which might generate some impetus for some changes of one kind or another. The guys are still flaunting their maleness as Mars strolls through Aries. The authority figures in your life are probably making things a bit more frantic and unpredictable than usual and possibly causing various situations that either require adjustments or justifying your current position. If you have today off, take some time to think things through carefully, particularly if whatever you're refusing to face head-on has to do with the same situation. |
| 5-29-2007 Tuesday | If you haven't gotten a grip on whatever situation it is that you're refusing to face yet it's probably going to be a little harder now than it was the past few days. The tendency now is to be sentimental, whiney or emotional about it as opposed to the logical approach that predominated before. Changes in responsibilities, job, or career are possible due to changes in your outlook on life. These should be of a positive nature and provide opportunities that will be more satisfying than where you've been. The males are feeling their Cheerios today and likely to precipitate an adjustment of some sort relative to the way one of the females in their life thinks of them. This is likely generate some romantic fallout of some kind and will possibly involve a fair amount of heat, if you take my meaning, thanks to that Scorpio Moon. |
| 5-30-2007 Wednesday |
That dreams versus reality aspect is still out there and today you're likely to be emotionally involved with them both. You may have the feeling there's no one out there you can depend on, either, and find it more upsetting than usual. Like they say, the best way to have a friend is to be one so make sure that your behavior follows the Golden Rule before you expect too much from others. In order to resolve this particular quandary adjustments are required. If you're struggling with any ethics issues, you may find the solution you're looking for by asserting yourself more clearly to find the answer. As always, change is seldom easy, but without it you'll never get off dead-center. There a lot of affection floating around out there today so make good use of it. If there's anyone you really care about today may be easier than some to express it. Chances are doing some maintenance on your relationships could smooth out a lot of those other problems you're dealing with. Thoughts of the past are still operative so make good use of them, also, to understand the present as well as avoid repeating any mistakes you've lived to regret. |
| 5-31-2007 Thursday | Today there is a distinct possibility that you may be able to create some opportunities for yourself if you'll get off your butt and assert yourself promoting your ideas. The Full Moon, the second one this month and therefore known as a "Blue Moon," usually indicates the culmination of an activity or phase of some sort, so the stage is set astrologically for moving forward in a slightly different direction. To do so, however, will require some adjustments on your part, most likely relative to your obligations. This could be an increase or decrease, depending on what you're hoping to accomplish and may not come about as easily as you'd like. Just making up your mind that you want something is not usually sufficient to make it happen. Having the emotional energy is as important as the physical energy, and the good news is that both of them are out there today. Now all you have to do is Git 'r' Dun. |
| 6-01-2007 Friday | Opportunities are still out there, but you're really going to have to make them happen yourself. Once in a while something will fall in your lap, but more often than not it takes a tremendous amount of effort and hard work to make your dreams come true. Sometimes even that isn't enough. Without a healthy does of good old-fashioned luck some things will simply never come to fruition, no matter how hard you try. However, you just don't know until you try, and today there's a lot of emotional motivation to do so. Fact of the matter is that you'll never know unless you do. Remember the old adage, "Nothing ventured, nothing gained." If something inside of you is telling you that it's time for a change and simply won't shut up, no matter how much you ignore it, then maybe you need to listen up. |
| 6-02-2007 Saturday |
If you're still trying to decide if the status quo is acceptable or not, you still have a few more days to figure it out before those opportunities slip into oblivion. If there's anything you don't quite feel comfortable with relative to your current career, then now is the time to start thinking about a change. More than likely you're in some kind of a rut. Either you're making good money in an unsatisfying, meaningless job or you're making crappy money in an unsatisfying, meaningless job. Either way, they're familiar and change takes effort. You'll need to justify your position, especially to yourself, before you give up your fur-lined foxhole if you're in the first situation, or take a chance on something better, if you're in the second. Sometimes change is forced upon us, but usually it's preferable to make your own decisions and plans; depending on Lady Luck is usually the way you wind up in the unsatisfying, meaningless job with a pitiful paycheck for far longer than you need to. |
| 6-03-2007 Sunday | The males of the species are likely to be riding high in the saddle today and perhaps a bit smugger than usual about what they've accomplished. They're definitely going to be of a mind that they are definitely worthy of worship, so if you're one of the females of the species, be prepared to either listen patiently, get in a big fight, or leave town for a few days. A new idea of some sort will be central to the conversation but there will be a lot of inertia holding back any immediate change. Multiple adjustments will be required in various venues as well as some serious need to justify your views, no matter what they might be. Emotional involvement with the past is likely to strong and thoughts of that past love interest are still playing on the big screen of your mind. Whatever your thoughts or goals in life might be, something is going to influence them today at both the emotional and mental level, so make good use of it. |
| 6-04-2007 Monday | There's a lot of assertive energy, traditional structure, and excessive philosophizing in the air today, all of which are feeding off of each other in a cosmic symbiotic relationship. These forces will be trying to maintain the status quo, "The way it's always been" if you will, and will try to hang onto traditional values at any cost. Nonetheless, there are other forces that it that against personal needs, ideas and philosophies, that may not be the least bit traditional. Assertive energy is the key element. If there is something that you feel strongly about, don't be afraid to defend it and promote change. Resistance is there, to be sure, but that doesn't mean that it's impenetrable. Opportunities arise in direct proportion to your commitment. Conversely, if you have no commitment, then the opportunities will never appear. Practicality today will also be in a tug-o-war with family traditions. Be prepared to do some serious thinking relative to your core beliefs and putting your money where your mouth is, in a figurative sense, at least. |
| 6-05-2007 Tuesday | There is a lot of restlessness out there today which is probably due to the fact that some adjustments need to be made. These are likely to be in such areas as how you express your emotions; how you're dealing with changes in your responsibilities; and baggage from past experiences which is likely to involve your homelife when you were growing up, such as your relationship with your parents or siblings. Changes relative to your core belief system are still under consideration, possibly at the subconscious level. When these break the surface you may be in for some surprises in what your view of the world has evolved to, based on your life experiences to date. Opportunities are likely to arise from this new definition and possibly even point to a new career or a position of influence of some sort in your community. Finding satisfaction in your life directly derives from your expectations and understanding of your inner self and how you can use that to contribute to the world. Heavy stuff, but the Universe is helping you to figure it all out. |
| 6-06-2007 Wednesday | Today you may get an emotional high from getting a glimpse of what your dreams are all about. That's the good news. The bad news is that you're also likely to realize that they're pretty far out, for one reason or another. Reality is bearing quite heavily on your thoughts and you're likely to realize that some adjustments are in order. A good starting point would be to determine what you need and what you don't. There's been a lot of ethical considerations lately and when you have that part figured out, you should be able to assert yourself in such a way that it will be to your advantage. Your dreams of an ideal existence may be tugging you in one direction, but if you throw some extra energy toward your current responsibilities you may be in for a pleasant surprise. |
| 6-07-2007 Thursday | Someone is likely to get in your face today, seemingly out of nowhere, and present a rather irritating situation. Expression of your deepest emotions is likely to come easier than usual, so if there is some area in your life where you could benefit from a heart-to-heart talk, now is a good time to do it. (Even if it's the same person who got in your face.) Changes in how you view the world are still in-work. This is not something that will result from a single event or thought, but something that is accumulating day by day. Keep your eyes and mind open and consciously give some thought to your opinion of what you see going on around you. If you're reading this it's an indication that you have an interest in your destiny and controlling the course of your life. The Universe is of the same opinion and is lending a helping hand. Don't be so focused on superficial events that you miss it. |
| 6-08-2007 Friday | There may be a few emotional surprises today at a personal level that may require you to either justify your stand on some issue or perhaps necessitate some adjustments on your part. Whatever it happens to be, it will represent either an annoyance or nuisance of some sort that is likely to make you pretty grumpy, at least for a while. Nonetheless, consider the ongoing theme of redefining your core beliefs that we've mentioned numerous times lately. Be sure to plug this event in there and see if it has a bearing. You're also likely to be more introspective than verbal about whatever it is. Since your imagination is likely to be rather active, you should put that to good use. In other words, if that unexpected event isn't too serious, it would be a good time to relax with a good novel or perhaps go to a movie you've been wanting to see as an escape. |
| 6-09-2007 Saturday | The battle for a personal belief system continues with its apex fixed on emotional change. The energy you need to muster in order to assert yourself is still out there and loaded with opportunities if you'll harness it appropriately. All you need to do is figure out which direction you need to be pointing toward and no one can decide that but you. Your sense of responsibility is working in your favor today; those who are unable to shoulder obligations never get anywhere, regardless of appearances. A sense of personal pride is essential to emotional well-being. Dependence on others ultimately results in constant anxiety. Say that to yourself as many times as necessary if you're thinking of blowing it all off. Adjustments to your responsibilities may be necessary, but make sure you don't throw out the baby with the bathwater. That romance meter looks like it's in the same temperature range as Houston in June. A daydream or two is likely to jump start a new idea if you pay attention. |
| 6-10-2007 Sunday | If you're already prone to temper tantrums, be aware that today it'll probably be worse. An explosion of emotional energy is likely and if anyone gets in your way you're very likely to overreact, so consider yourself warned. Surprises are also likely--annoying ones--and if you're an Aries born between April 5 - 13 then I suggest you stay as far away from people as possible, for example by staying in bed all day and watching all the old Rocky movies. Other than that, it should be an interesting day. There are lots of opportunities to show your stuff as well as ideas and inspiration a-plenty. If you have a creative project of some sort that you've been working on, today is a great day to put some serious thought and time into it. |
| 6-11-2007 Monday | If you need to purchase anything electronic or mechanical or take care of an issue that involves communications, get it done before Saturday when Mercury goes retrograde. You're likely to be a bit emotionally involved in your quest for your dreams today, but a touch of practicality will be there as well. An adjustment of some sort may be required at work. Be sure you handle it in a professional manner or it may bite you later. Opportunities are still all over the place so be sure and look for them and act on them accordingly. These could be in such places as your career, your ability to project yourself, the sudden drive to pursue at least part of your dreams or the emotional impetus to change your attitude about something. Your past may be staring you in the face though you may be avoiding eye contact. Transformation is trying to happen but you're likely to be pushing it away. Resistance is futile. |
| 6-12-2007 Tuesday | Today will be one of those days where your dreams versus reality come to your attention in some emotional manner. This ongoing internal dialog is a universal theme these days so you are not alone. Opportunities still abound at a personal level and your drive and ambition are pretty fired up as well. Use your imagination and do some brainstorming to see what you may be able to come up with. The thought of change, no matter how appealing, is likely to stir up some restlessness, however, possibly based on old baggage of some sort that is keeping you from moving forward. Your need for stability and the related resistance to change is probably making a pretty convincing argument. Nonetheless, don't ignore the ideas and opportunities. If you play your cards right, you just might be able to have your cake and eat it, too. |
| 6-13-2007 Wednesday | Your thoughts and emotions are likely to be in the same place today, with an emphasis on logic. This is not to say that you can't put some of that imagination to work. It's a good time to start putting together a plan of action and do some networking so those opportunities out there don't slip away. The connection between your personal needs, ambitions, energy, and dreams is in a very favorable configuration that doesn't occur that often and like all other astrological aspects will not last forever. If everything was just peachy you wouldn't have that itchy feeling. Even if you know your circumstances won't be changing anytime soon, putting things in place for the future, no matter how distant, are still favorable. Think about it. |
| 6-14-2007 Thursday | Today is one of those days that you should avoid discussing politics or religion since opinions are likely to vary and conversations along those lines could easily cause some discomfort. If you're willing to put in the elbow grease there are definitely opportunities out there for you to harness for some additional help in getting where you want to go. Change hasn't gotten any easier the last day or so, but there's a good chance that your dreams are clearer and your sense of direction has improved. Stumbling over the past and any unresolved issues is still a possibility. The New Moon this evening is likely to give you an extra boost toward some constructive changes based on those new thoughts you've been working on lately. |
| 6-15-2007 Friday | Those opportunities are gradually diminishing but it's still not too late to put some personal energy behind your imagination. Give any ideas you've been toying with lately some serious thought and see what you come up with. You're likely to encounter something from your past today, whether it's running into someone you haven't seen in a long time or possibly someone or something that reminds you of such. Motives in a relationship may come up today which may necessitate you to justify your thoughts or actions, though the outcome is likely to be favorable. It's a good day to demonstrate some career ambition based on some past experience that has a bearing on current circumstances. If those creative ideas mentioned earlier have any application to your career, it may be best to put some serious effort into the data gathering effort and wait until you have all your ducks in a row before talking to anyone. Tomorrow morning Mercury goes retrograde, which will not favor communications. |
| 6-16-2007 Saturday | Today looks like it's going to be another hectic day, which has been fairly common lately. There's just a lot going on out there that affects multiple areas of your life. There's a rather strong possibility that the gals are going to be a bit restless and possibly hormonal today, which means they'll be getting on each others' as well as the guy's nerves. Mercury goes retrograde today as well, which won't help things in the slightest. The energy directed at defining your dreams is still out there, so if you haven't given it any thought yet, now would be a good time for some alone time to figure it out. Your past may be getting in your way. When I say this, however, bear in mind it might not be a person or event, but rather an attitude or outlook that's self-defeating. The first step to any success is to believe in yourself. If you don't, no one else will, either. There's no better way to build self-confidence than to know what you're doing. Do the math. |
| 6-17-2007 Sunday | Communications on the home front are likely to be futile and emotional with numerous disagreements possible about a variety of topics. Memories of your past will be particularly active today as well, with anything that hasn't been resolved likely to be eating at you in one way or another. The key is to take that energy and transform it into something new and positive, whether it's rectifying a past mistake or deciding to put aside one of your self-defeating behaviors. I hate to say this, but the gals are going to be somewhat hormonal again today, especially in the morning, and may be whiney and naggy. This is not to say that only the guys will notice this; women probably won't like each other too much, either. However, no matter how annoying their thoughts or comments may be, you need to somehow put that aside and listen because there is more than likely something there you can use. When you've had enough, excuse yourself and find someplace to relax, preferably alone. |
| 6-18-2007 Monday | Thoughts and possible flashbacks to the past are very likely today. Pay attention to what they are because they could hold some significance relative to something in your life that hasn't been properly resolved. There's some definite romance in the air today that shows the possibility for further developments, even though you may not feel as if you're communicating very well. Don't take it too seriously since with Mercury retrograde it's likely to be a rather pervasive problem that's global in nature. There is likely to be another obstacle of some kind, however, that might get in your way. Either you're not quite facing in the same direction as far as your goals and direction in life are concerned or something else is keeping one or both of you sufficiently obligated in some other area that will have a bearing on the relationship. Change is possible, however, and the urge to do so will be noticeable. It's entirely up to you whether or not you think it will be worth the gamble. |
| 6-19-2007 Tuesday | That urge for change is escalating today, or perhaps change is imposing itself upon you, invited or not. This will be in effect for a while now, so brace yourself. That dreams versus reality thing is still out there, too. There's a variety of ways this could manifest in your life. For example, the conflict may not be entirely contained within your own purview or control; your dreams may actually be in conflict with someone else's reality if your dreams are dependent on someone else's actions or behavior. There's a lot of emotion out there still that probably has the gals spun up. This will be coupled with an internal assessment of what you really expect from a relationship, which may or may not be realistic. Communicating your ideas, however, will be a challenge and you're very likely to be misunderstood, especially with Mercury retrograde, so don't overreact if you get a "deer in the headlights" look. Thoughts and feelings from the past will be particularly strong for the next few days and linger for a week or so. Pay attention to these insights because they probably hold the key to some of the obstacles you're encountering in other areas. |
| 6-20-2007 Wednesday | You may have a strong urge to justify yourself today, which is likely to go over like the proverbial lead balloon. There's a good chance that things are a bit unsettled and not at all meeting your expectations. If you're in a position of authority of any description, you are especially likely to believe it's your way or the highway and express your opinion in a rather emotional manner. Being more critical than usual is also a possibility. It will probably seem as if absolutely no one has any clue how to do things correctly and with Mercury retrograde communications will be skewed more than usual so frustrations are likely. Do your best to keep your temper and reserve judgment because few things are black or white. Being too subjective can keep you from progressing and can also limit your people skills considerably, so try to listen more with your heart and keep your mouth closed as much as possible. Like your mother used to say, "If you don't have anything good to say, then don't say anything at all." |
| 6-21-2007 Thursday | If there is anything about your life that you're not happy with today you're going to want to change it. Whatever your dreams might happen to involve, they're going to be demanding your attention like a spoiled brat. Maybe you're finally listening to those echoes from your past that have been trailing you lately like a piece of toilet paper stuck to your heel. Your obligations probably have equal appeal and hold the potential to be overtly annoying today. Even if you're usually unselfish, you're likely to have a strong sense of self these days that awakens a sense of entitlement that could be quite out of character. The potential for answers via a new course of action is high, with the introspective nature of retrograde Mercury actually working in your favor on this one. Get some alone time today, then do some brainstorming with someone you trust. You might be surprised by the feasibility of what you come up with. |
| 6-22-2007 Friday | The Sun moved into Cancer today, which will bring emphasis to your home environment and perhaps inspire some sentimentality. We all like to blame all of our baggage on how we were raised, but often the real problem is our ability or lack thereof to walk away from it instead of carting it around with us from place to place. There's a real tendency to be holier than thou today, which will be out there for a while longer. This aspect will thus try and convince your ego to blame your failures, whatever they might be, on someone or something else. That kind of thinking could easily be what constitutes the better part of your baggage if you cannot accept responsibility for your failures as well as your successes. If your dreams are being repeatedly denied, you need to figure out if it's just because you keep waking yourself up too soon. |
| 6-23-2007 Saturday | Your mind and heart are likely to be arguing today while your past continues you stalk you like a bad case of indigestion. This is not necessarily a bad thing, however, because there are opportunities out there to help you identify at least a part of what your heart's desire really is. One possibility that you need to consider is that all you really need to do is bloom where you're planted. We can't always change our circumstances, but we CAN change our response and attitude to the inevitable. Of course that is not what any of y'all want to hear. Nonetheless, give some serious thought and introspection to exactly what the source of your discontent really is. Is it disappointment in yourself, circumstances or those around you? If so, check your yardstick. In spite of the message behind the saying, "It's better to aim for the stars and drag your feet in the treetops than aim for the treetops and drag your feet in the mud," bear in mind that having your feet firmly planted on terra firma isn't usually a bad thing. |
| 6-24-2007 Sunday | There are lessons from the past out there again today and this time it's probably something that your mother at least tried to teach you. You may have a lot of drive in one direction, yet something that sounds a lot like Mom's voice is echoing around in your head and holding you back in one way or another. Of course this could go either way. Maybe Mom was one of your favorite people and you know she was right; on the other hand, maybe she was some perfectionistic nag who eroded your self-confidence so badly that you don't believe in yourself enough to try something new. Whichever one it is, give it serious thought and then talk yourself into making any appropriate changes. That Venus-Saturn conjunction is going to be there for a while and is probably messing with the ladies. If you're a Libra or Taurus you're probably feeling as if someone threw a very heavy blanket over you; if you're a Capricorn you're probably feeling pretty good, at least about yourself, though you may also be inclined to overindulge a bit in good food and drink. At any rate, those two planets are not exactly compatible so expect a strange mix of melancholy and indulgence. |
| 6-25-2007 Monday | Expressing yourself emotionally should be fairly easy today, provided you are talking about past issues that need to be resolved. This is one thing that Mercury retrograde is actually good for, reworking thoughts or plans that weren't quite on target. More than likely these will relate to your homelife in some way. Your lovelife is likely to be a mixed bag these days. While you may not be openly arguing over anything, there is likely to be a damper of some sort in force that is having a very sobering effect. This could also be very reflective of the fact that there is a war going on that is separating many couples as the onus of social responsibility intrudes on where you would really like to be. Restlessness is more than likely, specifically if changes are involved that you don't like. This is yet another variation on that dreams versus reality theme that won't seem to leave any of us alone. As with all things astrological, however, this, too shall pass. |
| 6-26-2007 Tuesday | Today is likely to be another somewhat emotional day, as if there haven't been enough of them lately. There have been numerous conflicts between dreams and reality the past few months, but that is now being exacerbated by Venus joining the fray. While Venus is usually a benefic planet, in the current configuration she might be adding to your desire to indulge yourself materially or possibly messing with your love life, assuming you have one, while restlessness and the need for a change are adding their weight to the whole sloppy mess. In addition, your ability to communicate is probably inhibited at best and dripping with sticky sentimentality at worst which will most likely all be dumped into a package that's labeled "Me! Me! Me!" Sometimes life is kicking our butt and this is an entirely natural reaction, especially if you're the one who usually gives up what you want for others. If you honestly know that to be true, then listen to what your psyche is trying to tell you and see what you can do to pamper yourself without causing a guilt-trip. Chances are that no one else is going to do squat anytime soon, so you may as well be good to yourself for once. |
| 6-27-2007 Wednesday | The need to express yourself is likely to be strong, though finding the words may not be as easy. You may be experiencing strong feelings toward family members and wish to be close to them more so than usual. It's likely that you can derive a fair amount of satisfaction from working around your home or improving it in some manner. Determination to find emotional satisfaction in your life is likely to be causing some restlessness and bringing to your attention in no uncertain terms that some adjustments are in order. The real question lies in where those adjustments will be made. You're probably still pretty sure of what you think you want, but reality isn't exactly cooperating. Reality could be a person, your circumstances or simply your refusal to look at the facts. Relationship challenges are possible with disputes likely unless a compromise can be found. |
| 6-28-2007 Thursday | There are some really interesting pairs parading around the Zodiac these days and these conjunctions, which are considered the most powerful of aspects, will affect your life in some way or another. Today around noontime the Moon will be dancing with Jupiter, which should have an expansive effect on your emotions, particularly as they relate to ethical issues. If there is anything going on of a shady or disreputable nature, it is likely to bother you more today than usual. The Sun and Mercury are likewise holding hands, which will promote the need for self-expression, though with Mercury retrograde this would be better utilized for some introspection relative to your homelife. One of the most interesting couples out there is Saturn and Venus, who are both linked up with Neptune. Venus will brighten up stern Saturn considerably, giving that ongoing dreams versus reality theme a glimmer of hope for resolution, though it will probably require an adjustment of some sort that you may or may not like to get there. |
| 6-29-2007 Friday | Today the Moon is working with Pluto and is likely to unearth emotions relative to your past, or more specifically past mistakes. These could be mistakes relative to ethical issues, legal matters, higher education, religion or foreign cultures, to name a few. Fortunately, the Moon moves rather quickly so it will be short-lived, but don't miss whatever lesson is there or it will come back and bite you again. It's still a favorable time for quiet introspection, particularly as it relates to what it will take to make you happy with your life. If you're not happy now you know that changes are required, but it's up to you to decide whether or not they're worth it. With Venus and Neptune faced off, idealistic expectations of love relationships, or even a delusion or two, are likely, but Saturn is likely to throw some sanity in the mix, so the result may be workable. Like the old song says, "If you don't have a dream, then how you gonna make a dream come true?" |
| 6-30-2007 Saturday | There are two major themes out there today. One will be the ability to bring your mind and heart together on something that may have been bothering you. Whether or not you'll be able to communicate this to anyone else, however, is questionable, since Mercury is still retrograde. However, if you're revisiting an existing problem or trying to figure out something from the past, this will probably not be the case. This could all be motivated by a need for stability in your life that has been lacking. The other theme involves that ongoing dreams versus reality aspect, though this is very likely to tie into whatever the other issue happens to be. Venus and Saturn are holding hands, and while these two are not always compatible, a little affection coupled with structure and responsibility can be a good thing. It could even tie in with those dreams if you let them. |
| 7-01-2007 Sunday | Today is probably not a good day to get into ethical discussions, e.g. politics and religion, even though thoughts and opinions on those subjects may be occupying your mind. Just when you think you know what you're going to do about some of that dreams versus reality business, a whole bunch of new considerations are likely to crawl out of the woodwork like cockroaches. Arguments touting stability could be loud today and while you may not like them, they're still likely to cause an adjustment or two in your thinking. Deep introspection regarding past love affairs and the rewards (or lack thereof) for meeting your obligations will be on your mind and most likely trigger some of those thoughts mentioned earlier relative to ethics. Be aware that the view from your knothole is pretty subjective before getting on a soapbox. |
| 7-02-2007 Monday | The fact that it's Monday will be apparent in numerous ways. Unless you really, really love your job it's always a bit of a bummer to get back in the grind anyway and today there is likely to be a variety of irritations getting on your last nerve. Arguments or disagreements are likely to end in an impasse, with neither side willing to change their stance. If there are any flakes in your midst they'll be wearing neon signs today and once again you'll notice all the things that you'd like to change about your life. You'll be inclined to do your share of whining about it, but if you'll look around there may be a solution out there if you'll put some old-fashioned elbow grease and determination behind it. Keep listening to those rumblings from the past as they are likely to hold a key of some sort to your future. |
| 7-03-2007 Tuesday | For those of you who aren't already aware, the Moon messes with our emotions and today she'll really be in her element. That sense of responsibility is likely to be overwhelmed today and as a result logic is likely to throw up his hands in frustration and exit the scene. Your best bet is to enjoy your sense of freedom, but bear in mind that it's not a good time to make any serious, long-term decisions. The good news, however, is that there's a lot of innovation and creativity accompanying it so if a solution is to be found, now is the time when it's most likely. What is there in your belief system that might be holding you back? Something is bugging you, but you can't quite identify it. Talking or at least thinking about your past is still nearly impossible to avoid, especially with all those old 4th of July memories placing a laser dot on your forehead. Those who refuse to learn from the past are doomed to repeat it. Are you one of them? |
| 7-04-2007 Wednesday | You probably have a strong sense of what you want these days and whether or not it's realistic isn't on your radar. That isn't necessarily a bad thing, unless you blow your life savings on something like a trip to Belize. Trips down Memory Lane have probably been frequent lately, more than likely surfacing spontaneously in the course of normal conversation. If the urge strikes, indulge that sentimentality and go look up some of those old friends on Google, then make their day w/a phone call or email. Being dissatisfied with some aspect of your life isn't a problem unless all you do is grouse about it. The challenge is to figure out how you got there so you can find your way out. |
| 7-05-2007 Thursday | Your head and heart should be in harmony today, though you may tend to be more sentimental that usual. Something out of the blue may cause an emotional reaction today. It will probably have a very positive bearing on you, possibly a surprise compliment or gift from a family member. Thoughts of your childhood, which may not necessarily be pleasant, are likely to surface, perhaps as a result of this event. Be sure to view them through an adult perspective this time; they may have an entirely different meaning than they did at the time, which may help you resolve them. Bear in mind that with the current aspects that authority figures are likely to wield their power in a benevolent way, provided you're honest with them. If you try to be deceptive in any way, they are likely to show little or no mercy. |
| 7-06-2007 Friday | There's a nice, emotional aspect out there today that is going to unearth something from your past. Your reaction is likely to be anger, which may actually be a very healthy reaction. When we're children we tend to accept our circumstances as normal, no matter how horrendous they may have been. It haunts us, sometimes for decades, before we realize that it definitely was NOT normal and that we were abused or exploited in some manner. Today is a good day to do some healing relative to old baggage, no matter what it might be. If your situation is serious enough to require counseling, now is also a good time to seek it out, possibly from a professional or possibly from someone older and wiser whom you trust with your emotional health. |
| 7-07-2007 Saturday | Think about today's date for a moment: July 7, 2007, a.k.a. 07-07-07. Is that cool, or what? Seems like to have today for your date of birth would have to be lucky! For the rest of us, there's a variety out there today that you should find motivating. Restlessness could be driving your determination to figure out once and for all what you're looking for in life. Emotional satisfaction is high on your list today with that Aries Moon, which is likely to come into conflict with what you may be telling yourself about maintaining a conventional home. Just because a home is unusual doesn't mean it's not healthy, nurturing or good for its family members. Happiness is far more important. Kids can adapt to a new environment much easier than they can to unhappy parents. Today may be lucky for you as well. Maybe this is the day you'll figure out what you want and what you're willing to pay to get it. |
| 7-08-2007 Sunday | Whatever you're looking for emotionally is likely to make a power play today and your mind might actually agree that it's time for a change. That determination to define what you want out of life is still causing some restlessness that you're trying to track to ground. You only have another day or two to have the astrological advantage of Mercury retrograde for figuring things out. As big of pain as that phenomenon can be, it's useful for ruminations. Nonetheless, there will be a definite tendency to be fairly egocentric in your thoughts. Go ahead and indulge yourself in your dreams, at least until you figure out what they really are. We all need to take care of ourselves a little every now and then, after which we're better able to care for those around us. And I don't think that Cancer Sun is going to let you forget the people who are important to you anytime soon. |
| 7-09-2007 Monday | This Mercury Retrograde period has been even more fun than the usual since he's been in opposition to Pluto. Thus, besides communications being affected, more than likely things like plumbing and power will have been, too. The good news is that it ends tomorrow. Today, however, is likely to be somewhat emotional, which we've seen a lot of lately. That is usually caused by the Moon and since it moves quickly and there are planets scattered throughout the Zodiac right now, a day doesn't pass that he doesn't throw an aspect at something. Along those lines, if you want something, it's very likely you'll be more stubborn than usual about getting it, regardless of how much restlessness or discomfort it may cause. Just make sure that your demands are reasonable and make sense or they'll come back to haunt you later. |
| 7-10-2007 Tuesday | Gratefully, today Mercury rights himself and goes direct after being retrograde for the past few weeks. It's been interesting to see the effect it had to be opposite Pluto. While Mercury can usually cause enough problems messing with communications devices, when Pluto got into the act he started messing with plumbing, power (both the electrical and human variety), and things that it was time to quit ignoring. Nonetheless, there are some positive things Pluto is doing right now, such has give us a sense of personal power over our individual destinies. This, however, could cause some restlessness relative to your sense of stability and security. This is another case of not being able to eat your cake and have it, too. No matter how good it sounds, you're going to have to let go for a certain period of time and believe in yourself. Do not fear, however. In about two weeks when the Sun goes into Leo it should help things along, at least if confidence is your hang-up. |
| 7-11-2007 Wednesday | You're probably coming up with some pretty good reasons to improve your life in one way or another. There are a lot of dialogs going on these days, which is generally good, though some of them aren't exactly comfortable. There may be a tendency to be a little too idealistic relative to some issues, particularly as they relate to family members. Make sure your expectations of them aren't out of line. Remember the Golden Rule and take a long, hard look in the mirror before placing unrealistic demands on those around you. Think about the fact that you can't expect perfection if you aren't prepared to offer it; furthermore, the only person that you have the right to change is yourself. |
| 7-12-2007 Thursday | You're probably impatient about getting something done today, yet something keeps getting in your way. Maybe you're having to follow the rules or procedures and would much prefer to take a shortcut or two and get where you're headed faster. Bear in mind that probably sounds good, but in reality cutting corners usually doesn't work. Things are going to happen in their own due time and you can't force them to come about any sooner. We all know that we deal with a mix of good and bad everyday. You probably wouldn't want to rush any of those bad things to occur any sooner than necessary, so give that a thought or two the next time you want something to happen NOW. On the other hand, you could be holding things back if you're not doing your part. Give that some thought and see what you come up with. |
| 7-13-2007 Friday |
Today may be one of those days where reality bites, if you have the courage to face it. The Moon is up to his usual antics messing with your emotions as he moves toward his New phase tomorrow. With the Sun in Cancer, your focus is likely to be on your home environment and be a little on the emotional side as well, particularly if you're still thinking about your past. In general, it may be one of those days when you just think that life isn't fair and you're likely to say so. Change or a surprise of a personal nature is possible, but it is likely to be on the positive side. The stage is set such that you could have one of those Aha! moments where everything suddenly comes together and you make a quantum leap in understanding, provided you don't cling to the past in a stubborn refusal to grow. |
| 7-14-2007 Saturday | Today's chart looks like a game of cat's cradle. If you're familiar with that childhood game that predates the Internet, email and video games, you know it usually ended in a tangle. If your life currently bears at least a vague resemblance to that very thing, then take heart. There's a New Moon today and that usually means a new beginning of some sort. Since this one is in Cancer, the Universal 4th House that governs your home environment, that is the most likely place for it to effect. If you've been in a rut lately, it's probably gotten to you at last, yet the answers to how to dig your way out have eluded you. It's interesting that Mars and Jupiter are sitting this one out, which should allow you to address the issue from your heart without any excess anger or inflated hopes. Pluto doesn't do much smiling, but he is right now and its directed toward your responsibilities and that desire you have to tie them in a bit tighter with your dreams. Pluto is all about transformation and that's probably what it will take, but there's no better time than when the planets are cheering you on. |
| 7-15-2007 Sunday | Some conflict between your home and career ambitions is likely today. More than likely there aren't enough hours in the day to get everything done and you're particularly aware of that for one reason or the other. Things have been very hectic lately and if you're feeling the effects you're not alone. Nonetheless, you're likely to feel good about where you want to go for your general direction in life, but you also recognize there are a few speed bumps along the way. Try not to be too idealistic because it will only set you up for disappointment. The world isn't perfect and neither are you or anyone in it. You've probably noticed that as soon as things are going along too well that something inevitably comes along to balance it out. While it always pays to be objective enough to realize it might be your own fault, sometimes it's simply called Life. |
| 7-16-2007 Monday | What you want and what you're getting are probably not in synch today. Of course the real question is which one is out of synch with reality? If you're wanting something for nothing, then maybe the Universe is simply giving you a reality check. Aside from that, it may be harder than usual to tie everything together today with erratic thoughts and impressions popping in and out of your mind like moths in a bug zapper. Pluto is still trying to get your attention, however, and empower you with a sense of control over your own destiny. This will be partly based on your past, your hidden ambitions and the deepest desires of your heart. A lot is swirling around in your subconscious today and trying to break the surface. Spend some quiet time watching for it today rather than throwing conscious thoughts about which will only create false ripples that will hide the truth. |
| 7-17-2007 Tuesday | One of the females in your life could get on your last nerve today, perhaps by bringing up something from the past that you really don't care to remember. Anything that makes you uncomfortable should set off an alarm in your head that it is something you need to deal with before it will go away. Other than that it looks like a fairly good day. If there's something you want to accomplish, perhaps to improve your finances or how you make a living, you'll have a lot of drive today to move in that direction, which might be noted by someone that could help make it reality. Don't be afraid to be honest about your emotions today, especially if there's someone you haven't expressed your affection to in a long time. Your first inclination may be to just do something nice, but they really need to hear it, too. |
| 7-18-2007 Wednesday | A surprise of some sort that could have an emotional impact is possible today. However, it's ultimate effect is likely to be positive motivation to do something that you know you need to do, which could open up new opportunities you've been waiting for. Look beyond the obvious and think about it carefully before you simply dismiss it or react in a negative way. You may also be experiencing some restlessness relative to your home responsibilities versus your desire to get out into the world more in one way or another. Expanding your mind, experience and education are only hindered by your responsibilities if you allow them to be. Be creative and figure out a way to fulfill those desires to improve yourself and still maintain your family ties. Your past is likely to tie into all this in numerous ways. Do you have some old paradigm related to how you were raised that is holding you back? Why? |
| 7-19-2007 Thursday | Those with any tendencies toward perfectionism are likely to be making others' lives a bit more miserable than usual today. Their inclination to impose their impossible standards on others is likely to make an unwelcome appearance and if they're in a position of power, the effect will be even more painful. If you know such a person, it's best to lie low and if you ARE such a person, then lighten up. Unjustified criticism will ultimately turn against you and not obtain the desired results. More ideas relative to what kind of career you'd find emotionally satisfying are possible; write them down and give them serious consideration soon. Determination is strong these days and if you couple that with whatever you'd like to change you're likely to find success. It's also a good time for looking at your present state and future to determine how it ties in with events from your past or any excess baggage you're toting around. If you're holding yourself back, recognizing it and admitting it are the first steps to getting past it once and for all. |
| 7-20-2007 Friday | Disagreements on the home front are possible today, but if you make the effort, that Libra Moon should help you be as objective as possible. You may not necessarily agree, but being able to understand the opposing side will at least help you agree to a reasonable compromise. Above all else remember that just because you think you know someone well and generally get along doesn't mean that your basic philosophy of life is the same and this fact will inevitably surface from time to time. Your determination to change a few things may encounter some stumbling blocks for a while. Don't give up, but re-examine your plans to make sure they're still on target. The Universe is lending some assistance toward bettering yourself at a deep level. If you don't know how or wherefore, maybe it's time you figured it out. |
| 7-21-2007 Saturday | Whether or not you attain your dreams will depend on how emotionally committed you are to making them reality. This is not to say that commitment will make it easy, only that you'll never make it past the inevitable speed bumps if you're wishy washy about them. If you really don't know how badly you want something or how hard you're willing to work for it, then maybe you either don't really want it or you know that your ideas are too grandiose or unrealistic. Adjustments may be necessary, but don't throw the baby out with the bath water. There's a good chance that at least part of it can be accomplished with a little elbow grease and once you get that far, no telling where you can go from there. Bear in mind that if you're not moving toward your goal then you're moving away from it. In other words, a lack of commitment to what's important is another form of commitment to the unimportant. |
| 7-22-2007 Sunday | Today is another one of those days when you heart and head are likely to be looking in different directions. Further adjustments in your attitude are probably in order, but you may be refusing to either see that or to do anything about it. Remember that change is not a sign of weakness, but refusing to acknowledge your mistakes is. If you haven't talked to your mother in a while, you may find yourself more inclined than usual to do so today. At the least some of the things she taught you are likely to come to mind in one way or another. Doing things correctly will be more important over the next few days, at least until Venus goes retrograde on July 27th. Once that happens, you're likely to be thinking hard about your relationships as well as your financial situation. |
| 7-23-2007 Monday | Multiple conflicts and oppositions are possible today though they're not likely to be anything entirely unfamiliar. They'll be especially apparent in the afternoon as the Moon moves through passionate Scorpio and creates a Grand Cross with Neptune, Mars and Saturn. This unfriendly aspect will definitely be stirring the pot relative to those same ol' themes of dreams versus reality with an added chord or two involving your deepest, possibly even hidden, emotions versus your drive for material possessions and security. The fact that you can't have it all will be intuitively obvious, yet all is not unfavorable today. Opportunities are there as well, but you'll need to make a few changes in order to see them. More than likely they have something to do with those rose-colored glasses you've been wearing lately. An attitude adjustment is probably in order, whether you recognize it or not. |
| 7-24-2007 Tuesday | Something will probably annoy the heck out of you today, possibly at work, possibly a female, or possibly involving your finances or belongings. Sneaky or covert actions may be involved so don't be complacent looking after your possessions; if you don't pay attention, they may not be there when you come back. While it may be your nature to be trusting and forgiving, you're likely to have something change your mind or at least question your level of tolerance, especially if you don't follow my advice and something unfortunate happens. If your fondest dreams involve something unconventional, that tug-o-war with a more structured lifestyle is still in force, but a strong dose of determination to decide one way or the other is likely. |
| 7-25-2007 Wednesday | That determination and drive to figure out a few things relative to your aspirations and dreams is still in force and will be for about a week. If you're vying for a promotion things are looking pretty good, so if you have something you want to propose that could make a difference, now is a good time. If that annoyance or nuisance mentioned yesterday hasn't happened yet it probably will within the next day or so. Continue to look after your belongings and finances accordingly. Guard against being overly optimistic today. It may feel good, but make sure you're in touch with reality before making any major decisions. Dealing with such mistakes later will be a major pain. |
| 7-26-2007 Thursday | There's a lot of energy out there that could motivate you to put your plans to make your dreams reality into action. This is not to say that all the speed bumps have gone away, only that you may have the drive and determination to push forward. Your emotional commitment should be strong as well, and you might even have a mental Aha! of some kind that helps you understand what has been holding you back. However, don't let emotion alone make your decisions. Make sure that what you have in mind is possible. Along those lines, there's also a chance that the missing element you needed to make your plan feasible has finally revealed itself. You're likely to be quite restless about moving forward, but do so carefully and not impulsively. On the other hand, realize that the conditions will never be perfect and will always require effort on your part to make it happen. As always, you hold your fate in your own hands more than you realize. |
| 7-27-2007 Friday | That drive to move on to bigger and better things is still in place and the needed motivation to make some positive changes is moving into place. Your head and emotions may not quite be in synch, however, with your brain still telling you all the reasons it can't be done. Remember that everything doesn't need to be perfect and there will never be a total absence of risk. The desire to be practical and only go for a sure thing are strong. Remember that the only things that are "sure" in this life are death and taxes. If you put things off for too long, that will probably be where it winds up. Have a good talk with your mother or a mother figure for encouragement, then do the math. |
| 7-28-2007 Saturday | If you're needing a favor from someone up the food chain a bit, today would be a good day to ask. You are likely to be well-received and the fact that you might be emotional about it probably won't do you any harm. These emotions are likely to be rooted in your commitment to your family and keeping things as stable as possible. If things aren't going too well currently, obviously a change of some sort is in order. Even though they say a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, if the bird in your hand is a dead crow and there are two nice, fat pheasants in the bush, going after them makes a lot more sense. Wheels are turning all over and throwing some positive energy toward your dilemma. It's up to you to put it to work, however. Indecision won't get you anywhere. |
| 7-29-2007 Sunday |
Your drive and determination is still strong and hopefully you're making good use of it to put your plan of action into place. There's a lot of restlessness out there today, but be aware that a lot of it is emotionally based, even if it seems as if your thoughts are logical. You may be more critical than usual of others today, especially those close to you, and some alone time is probably warranted. Don't believe everything you hear or see today without confirming it to be accurate. Sentimental thoughts of home, wherever that may be, are possible today. Remember it's a Full Moon this afternoon, which always messes with us in one way or another. This one may put an emphasis on that tug-o-war between your own needs and those of the people around us. Your best bet is to chill out the best you can and not make any decisions until at least tomorrow. |
| 7-30-2207 Monday | Being out of touch with reality is possible today and you definitely won't want anyone to point that out, particularly because you already know, but are trying hard to ignore the facts. If you've been putting some energy into moving forward, you're likely to encounter resistance today as well. It's likely to originate far beyond your sphere of influence and not be able to do anything about it. Nonetheless, think it through to figure out how it could be avoided next time; remember that good decisions come from experience, and experience comes from bad decisions. Good news is possible that may take you a bit by surprise, yet might give you the idea you need to make some progress. Few plans come together without an adjustment here and there. It just a matter of knowing where tweaks are required. |
| 7-31-2007 Tuesday | Your ego could get a bit over-inflated today, which could result in an emotional conversation with your significant other or someone else, probably a female. It could relate to expectations of one party relative to the other's need to still hang out occasionally with their friends. There are some antics going on out there that are mimicking Mercury retrograde. Communications have been a bit flakey and the pace has been hectic; not to worry, it should be gone soon. Bear in mind that on a daily basis that the ongoing dreams versus reality theme isn't always relative to elaborate, long-term plans; it could be simple little incidents day after day that involve something disguising the truth or keeping it just beyond view. For the rest of the week the powers that be may be causing you to make an adjustment or two to any plans you have in work. Just take it in stride; you should be able to regain your momentum next week. |
| 8-01-2007 Wednesday | That ego trip is still in force, though hopefully it will manifest itself as self-confidence that you can use in a positive way. Whatever it is you're determined to accomplish is likely to encounter some obstacles. They might be bureaucratic or simply some other step that you can't avoid. Those in a position of power are likely to be feeling their Wheaties today and possibly imposing their will on their minions as if they were royalty. Of course most of us have a dominion somewhere, so wherever you feel in control you're likely to be quite comfortable today. Just make sure you don't throw your weight around too much; there's always a bigger fish, kapeche? |
| 8-02-2007 Thursday | If you have to deal with authorities or bureaucracies of any kind today expect it to be annoying. You'll either become hopefully lost in the dips and turns of their electronic phone system, wind up talking to something with the mental capacity of a kumquat or something else along those lines. The more you need or want it, the more likely you are to hit a wall. This is not to say that everything has to go badly today. Rather than getting all emotional and forcing the issue, use some understanding and sympathy for the person on the other end of the phone and you might be surprised how it turns out. Sometimes the softer you push, the more you get. It's all dependent on how willing you are to let go for a change. |
| 8-03-2007 Friday |
Everyone is likely to want their own way today so it's not necessarily a good time to ask for something, especially if it involves one of you yielding on something you don't exactly want to give up. The male - female thing is particularly likely to be tense. Your natural assumption will be that it's the other person who's wrong, but the only solution will lie in transforming something about yourself rather than forcing the issue. Remember the Golden Rule and try a different approach if you're deadlocked. The only way to get anywhere today will be through changing the way you're looking at the situation and being willing to compromise. |
| 8-042007 Saturday |
Expect a surge around noontime today, whether it manifests itself as energy, emotion, strong beliefs and/or memories or a combination of all of the above. The key is to use it in a constructive way, listen to your heart, head, and psyche and make some sense of it all. It may be the climax to an issue that has been brewing for quite a while now and some sparks could fly as you attempt to discuss it with the relevant party, though more than likely getting it out in the open is exactly what needs to be done. If it's a battle of wills, examine your own and see if you're trying to justify your position on data from the past that no longer applies. Make sure you're trying to climb the correct mountain or you might be wasting your energy. |
| 8-05-2007 Sunday | Some picky female may be ragging on you about something today that will cause you to question that relationship or possibly another in one way or another. The male - female thing these days might be a bit tense with your respective senses of responsibility failing to meet in the middle. Your determination to move forward is probably still making you restless and you may not know yet what is holding you back. The tendency is probably to blame it on someone else, but you need to take a good look in the mirror and realize that your head and heart are probably working against each other. It may be that same question of what you're willing to give up to get what you really want. Just remember that those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it. |
| 8-06-20077 Monday | If there is something that you really need to get done, you should have the drive you need to do so. The guys and gals are still probably somewhat crossways with each other, possibly due to some fundamental differences in how they see the situation at hand. More than likely both parties will be a bit more stubborn than usual about hanging on to their respective sides of the story, which, of course, is not the way to solve most problems. This could be due to some past baggage or experience that is coloring your emotional filter. Your view of your responsibilities and obligations may be undergoing a change that could ultimately help your financial situation. If you manage to find satisfaction and perhaps even some enjoyment in doing what you have to do, it will make it much more pleasant. Just remember if you're climbing a mountain it's essential to have the right pair of shoes. |
| 8-07-2007 Tuesday | Thoughts or possibly conversations about such things as politics and religion are possible today or perhaps you'll simply be considering whether your education is adequate or a trip abroad. Transforming how you view your obligations is still in work, the results of which could have a major impact on your ability to acquire those things you want of a material nature. Your emotions are likely to be driven more by logic today, which could help you understand others' viewpoints more than usual. Arguing with someone of the opposite sex is very likely today, or some other kind of conflict. Look before you leap today, i.e., guard against being so anxious to get something accomplished that you don't calculate the cost before it's too late to back out. |
| 8-08-2007 Wednesday | The climate is favorable for figuring out what you really want to be when you grow up. This is all part of that dreams versus reality thing that has been going on for a while now, but is gradually fading away. However, if there is something deep inside you that you haven't dug out yet regarding how you'd like to earn your living, give it some thought now and chances are good you'll come up with something. Take everything into consideration--your talents, how much you want to interact with others, your core beliefs and family values. Don't be afraid to be a little unconventional. That's what millionaires are made of. When you figure this out, however, don't be in too big of a hurry to tell your significant other, especially if it's a little (or a lot) off the wall. That male - female conflict potential is still pretty hot so you might want to wait until they're in a good mood to talk about it. Meanwhile do some research on what it will take to get there. Hard data never hurt any argument. |
| 8-09-2007 Thursday | The same aspect that could be stirring things up between the guys and the gals could also be messing with your ambitions versus your wallet's ability to keep up. Make sure your plans aren't too grandiose or they could bite you later. Don't be shy about expressing what you really believe in; they are likely to be well received. Now is a favorable time to talk to your boss about additional opportunities if you're willing to take on additional responsibilities. There is probably a lot going on behind the scenes that could play nicely into your hand if you handle it properly. While the Sun is in Leo we usually can all find an opportunity to make ourselves look good if we're willing to put forth a little effort. Something may come up unexpectedly that could cause a blip or two, but the end result should be in your favor. |
| 8-10-2007 Friday | Relationships could be undergoing a lot of review and revamping these days. This is as healthy as cleaning out your closet from time to time. We outgrow some, get tired of others, or just need something new. Tying your decisions along these lines into your past is a good way to take another look at what you've learned over the years. Conversations in this department should go reasonably well, though the male - female thing is still a bit dicey. Your dreams may be picking up lately, though they may also call for an adjustment of some sort before you or anyone else could take them seriously. We don't always like change, but in order to progress it's required. Remember if you keep on doing what you've always done, you'll keep on getting what you always got. |
| 8-11-2007 Saturday | Reality is likely to be drowning in a variety of delusions today. You are probably going to feel rather rebellious because of your exceptional brilliance. That the entire solar system revolves around you; that your will should be unquestioned; that your dreams are everybody's dreams; that no one has as much responsibility as you; and that all of this is undoubtedly as true as God made little green apples. Guess what? It's not. Don't make any major decisions today or you're likely to have a hard time cleaning up the mess later. If you're going to fall prey to illusions anyway today you may as well spend it reading a good novel, going to the movies, or being creative with one of your hobbies. If you take yourself too seriously, much less expect others to do so, all you're likely to get out of it is wounded pride. |
| 8-12-2007 Sunday | There are a whole bunch of planets in egocentric Leo today, including a New Moon, and most of those that weren't invited to the party are taking pot shots at them. That cluster in Leo will be giving you some pretty strong ideas about the direction you'd like to take in your life, come hell or high water (both of which are possible this time of year in Houston). Your mind is likely to be active and you might even mistake it for inspiration. You're itching to make some changes and ready to do what it takes to go after your dreams, but regardless of how strongly you feel about all this there's a good chance you're not seeing things realistically. Nonetheless, something from your past is trying to help you put all the pieces together. It could be something an authority figure, past lover or significant other told you a long time ago. Don't ignore those little blasts from the past; it might just be the nugget of information you're looking for. |
| 8-13-2007 Monday | Deep introspection is likely at some point today as elements from your past that you've kept hidden make an emotional connection with something related to your current situation. Retrograde Venus has us still thinking about our relationships, plus she's also in cahoots Saturn, who oversees the structure or lack thereof in our lives, which also dates back to sometime in the past. All of this energy focused in royal Leo will not exactly encourage any humility on our part. Rather, it will come out more like The World According to <your name here>. No matter how frustrated and anxious you may be for change, the chances that you're seeing everything through deeply tinted rose colored glasses is likely. It's not a perfect world and won't be anytime soon. Furthermore, it's been said that you can't expect perfection in someone else unless you're prepared to offer it. |
| 8-14-2007 Tuesday | Things have been pretty interesting the last few days with all that action in Leo, making us think of ourselves first and foremost while we expect the world to revolve around our wants and needs. To top that off, emotions will be erratic and probably a little rebellious today, possibly due to frustrations over how imperfect the world and all the people in it really are. Your best bet today is to enjoy your fantasies of being King or Queen for a Day while realizing that you are the King or Queen of your own destiny. Something is trying to reveal itself to you about numerous areas of your life, including your relationships, how you handle responsibility, and your self-image. There's a point where all these things tie together; finding it would probably do you a world of good. Take some time today to just relax and see where your thoughts take you. You may be in for a pleasant surprise. |
| 8-15-2007 Wednesday | When is the last time that you thought about why you're doing what you are for a living? Was it a conscious choice or just what seemed to be available at the time? Of course the classic questions in life generally are Who am I? Why am I here? and Where am I going? You can wax philosophical on these all you want, but the fact is they also apply to where you spend the majority of waking hours, which for most of us is at work. Did your career choice ever inspire you? Why? If you're pretty disenchanted these days is there any way in which you could reawaken what got you there? Unearthing information that relates to all of this is truly favored by the planets right now so if you're wondering about anything along these lines, now is a good time to take some time to give it serious consideration. Bloom where you're planted is frequently good advice. On the other hand, if it's intolerable, maybe it's time to dig your way out and head in a different direction. |
| 8-16-2007 Thursday | Your ambition is likely to be heartfelt today, but you might have a tendency to work against yourself if you try to move too fast or in the wrong direction. That quartet in Leo, which includes the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Saturn, is singing together loud and strong, and if you listen carefully, it just might be an old love song. It might not necessarily be romantic in nature, but it's likely to reflect in some way on one or more of your relationships. It could even highlight how you relate to others generally. Remember that Leo is a bit egocentric, so you're looking in the mirror here, not at others' viewpoints. With Saturn in the mix, the relationship issues are likely to have something to do with boundaries, delays, discipline or authority. Pluto is right in there, too, singing bass in the sub-woofer range, trying to take you back in time. Remember that Pluto's raison d'être is to push you toward transformation and he's pointing toward those same relationships. On the other hand, Neptune is putting in his two cents worth, too, but more than likely he's handing you a pair of rose colored glasses that you'd do well to ignore. These themes are going to hang in there for a few days with only a few variations, so you have plenty of time to figure it out. |
| 8-17-2007 Friday | That quartet in Leo is still singing away, and if you haven't read yesterday's forecast already, you probably should for a bit of background. We have quite the opera going on out there and the most likely theme, not surprisingly, is relationships. It's possible that it's primarily directed at the romantic kind, but it could also relate to those you interact with in your career. Pluto wants you to take a long, hard look at them so you can identify and correct any self-defeating behaviors that are holding you back. Neptune, the master of illusion, is trying to keep you from seeing the truth, and the Moon is throwing in an emotional element that will make you pretty uncomfortable about the whole thing. If you fail to face up to the music, however, you could miss out on the chance to transform something in your life that will benefit you greatly in the future. Now is not the time to bury your head in the sand. With the Sun in Leo, you're probably quite aware of your greatest strength. To find your greatest weakness, just look at the opposite end of the same spectrum. In plain language, whatever character trait is your greatest strength is also your greatest weakness. Figure it out yet? |
| 8-18-2007 Saturday | Reality may have a better chance of getting through today than the last several days, but there's still a touch of idealism out there that could affect your attitude toward one or more relationships. That Scorpio Moon is going to reinforce Pluto's efforts in helping you deal with that cadre of issues that have been flaunting themselves in your face lately. I'm not saying to spend your life savings on lotto tickets, but it's not necessarily out of the question either, given Scorpio's propensity of other people's money and Leo's love of gaming. More than likely the influence will be a helping hand in putting your thoughts and feelings of the past week into action and finding the emotional energy you need to make a few changes. These changes may be of a personal nature or they could relate to a situation in your life, depending on which house the planetary action falls into on your Natal Chart. Regardless, relationships, responsibility, and transformation are probably what will be affected. |
| 8-19-2007 Sunday | The climate is gradually changing, but conducive to helping you figure out a little more about what's been clanking around inside your head the last several days. Your thinking is likely to be a bit more logical now, though your heart is probably more determined than ever to find something better than you've had. Transformation is never easy, but the rewards are worth it. It's a favorable time to put more discipline into your life, more thought into your relationships and more confidence in your internal compass to keep you going in the right direction. You still need to be cautious about being too idealistic, a bit unrealistic, or having so many ideas that you're unable to focus well enough on the best one to make it happen. Nonetheless, we never get anywhere until we set our mind there first, so use all this planetary energy to at least find your ultimate goal off on the horizon. Then start moving toward it, one step at a time. |
| 8-20-2007 Monday | Relationship considerations are still on the menu as Venus continues doing the backstroke, which will last until September 8. Neptune is giving her the eye, however, which will probably not be helpful in sorting out any issues you may have in this area. It will be much harder to see things as they really are, probably due to a dose of idealism that no one alive will be able to meet. Remember that this does not apply only to romantic relationships but any one-on-ones you're engaged in from your close friends and relatives to business associates. Keep your expectations in line with reality and don't forget to look in the mirror long and hard as well. While the initial impression will probably be emotional and even a bit uncomfortable, bear in mind that any major change requires effort and perhaps a few growing pains. When all is said and done you'll probably have an entirely different view of a few things and never handle some situations the same way again. Whatever you do, don't view this as a bad thing. |
| 8-21-2007 Tuesday |
Don't be surprised if your responsibilities have seemed heavier than usual lately. It may also seems as if you're getting no where, that a figurative wall is between you and where you want to be, or that time is caught in a do-loop as far as moving forward. There is something to be learned from times like this, when the Universe nudges (or sometimes kicks) us toward knowledge we need to acquire before we can move forward. Discussions are likely to be on the emotional side with ideas floating about as if generated by a bubble machine. Some of them are going to sound pretty good, but make sure your enthusiasm is based on at least a modicum of reality before you floor the gas pedal in that direction. And before you think of trying to do it all alone, bear in mind that the reason your past partnerships have never worked out may be because you simply did not chose your partners as carefully or thoughtfully as you would if you were picking out a new car. While you're thinking about all this, don't get too deeply entrenched in the blame game unless you're absolutely sure they can't say the same thing about you. |
| 8-22-2007 Wednesday | There may be a few opportunities associated with following your dreams, particularly if you've been doing your homework the past week or so on your relationships, responsibilities, and any attitude adjustments that may be in order. Remember not to be overly aggressive in pursuing any ideas that seem to be too good to be true as they probably are. On the other hand, if they're based on reality and not inflated expectations, you're willing to work hard, and you can focus on one specific goal you may be able to make it work. Surprises of an emotional nature are possible today, but not necessarily bad ones. Being honest and a bit philosophical with your feelings can help iron a few things out that may have been clouding one or more of your relationships lately. Especially avoid imposing impossible standards on someone, including yourself. All that does is set you up for failure, which is usually of a subjective nature, i.e. not viewed by anyone else as being nearly as serious as it seems to you. This is a good time to listen to your heart as well as your head. |
| 8-23-2007 Thursday | The Sun goes into Virgo today, which will bring a rather large dose of humility compared to how it's been in Leo. It will also throw a critical eye for detail toward the world, which will trine up with that Capricorn Moon for another sanity check filled with practicality and structure. This makes it a good time to do some serious planning. Thus, if you're still messing with that idea that's pulling at the bit like a runaway racehorse, it's a good time to get to it, but be sure to do plenty of research to make sure your hopes aren't overly inflated. The more data, the better, to make sure you're on the right track. Expectations that are too idealistic toward relationships are still likely, so major decisions in that regard should be put off until at least the end of September. Otherwise you run the risk of throwing the baby out with the bathwater. |
| 8-24-2007 Friday | Today is a good day for brainstorming so if there is something you've been wanting to get started, the planets are throwing some energy in your direction you'd do well to use. It's going to take some serious effort to get there, but it will be worth it. That Capricorn Moon will also help you get emotionally involved in whatever ambition is beckoning you forward if you'll let it. Relationships are still vying for attention, which I know you're probably tired of hearing about, but you have to admit that there's at least one person who can really push your buttons, whether it's at work, home, or somewhere in between. Make sure you're not being too idealistic in your expectations or refusing to see what the real driver is behind the problem. Revamping your attitude toward the limitations around you is part of the process that will help you get moving in the right direction. |
| 8-25-2007 Saturday | A moral dilemma of some description could surface today that takes you a bit by surprise. You may have thought that you had your belief system all packaged up nice and tidy, but something could come along and challenge that and cause you to make a major reassessment of where you're coming from. Remember the old adage not to judge someone until you've walked a mile in their shoes. This is not to say that rules are made to be broken; only that they're all subject to interpretation, most of which are many shades of grey and far from absolute. This may make you pretty uncomfortable, perhaps upsetting the balance of your predictable little world, but it will help you to know yourself better and define what your believes really are if you'll keep your mind open and your mouth closed. Help is still out there to help you execute some grand idea once you get it all figured out. |
| 8-26-2007 Sunday | The organizational skills to put together a plan of possibly large proportions are still available if you'll zero in on the task at hand. It may be hard to concentrate, however, as distractions of all sorts may be coming at you like killer bees. Discipline and structure are there as well, however, if you'll just make up your mind to stick to your goals. Some additional information could come to light that will help you, perhaps via someone you knew in the past or perhaps simply remembering something that applies to what you're trying to do. Opportunities are out there if you'll listen to your heart and throw some old-fashioned elbow grease behind it. Now is not the time to sit around grousing or having unjustified doubts. That Virgo Sun should help you put together a practical, well thought-out plan if you'll just take the time to do what you have to do. |
| 8-27-2007 Monday | Now is one of those times when your obligations may seem particularly heavy. I'm sure you don't want to be reminded how such things build character, so just remember that it's Monday and things will probably be better tomorrow. Whatever that idea you've been toying around with might be, something might come up today that could interfere with your preliminary plans. Don't be discouraged, even if you have to make some adjustments to what you'd originally hoped to do. The universe has a way of leading us toward the inevitable and where we really need to be; it doesn't make mistakes. Again, beware of idealism which can elevate your expectations to an impossible range, relative to yourself as well as others. Use that Virgo Sun in its positive vein, which is to make all the appropriate lists, gather solid information, and then plan the hell out of whatever it is you want to accomplish. |
| 8-28-2007 Tuesday | If you're holding onto any idealistic views toward the relationships in your life, something could happen today that will cause an adjustment. Remember that "relationships" include all one on ones, whether it's a significant other, close friend, child, or business associate. If you're expecting too much or simply holding someone to impossible standards, maybe it's time you cut both of you a break. That Full Moon in Pisces today is likely to give the situation an emotional push or two, so it will be hard to ignore. If you've been brainstorming something lately, the Moon is likely to give it a push as well, giving a surge of emotional energy to your drive to make it happen. Other aspects will help you get organized, find the information you need and put together a solid plan. Whatever you do, don't daydream it away. |
| 8-29-2007 Wednesday | Today could be a good day to call in a favor from someone you know in a position of power. You may experience a variety of emotions when out of the blue you hear from someone that you haven't talked to for a long time. If you're finally getting your ducks in a row to make a few positive changes, getting things organized could encounter a few disruptions today. You may realize that a few tweaks to your original plan are in order, which you will probably find rather annoying. This could be further affected by a female who could possibly be the same person you heard from unexpectedly. It's also possible your reaction will be to speed up your plans rather than slow them down, as ideas are profuse and your patience is wearing thin, but make sure that you're not being overly optimistic about what you're getting into. |
| 8-30-2007 Thursday | Profuse brainstorming is likely today, which will include a few unique ideas you hadn't considered before. These are likely to feel more emotionally satisfying than some of your previous ones, even though they'll require numerous adjustments to make them work. You'll want to get moving on them right away, even if it's not the most sensible way to go about it. That Aries Moon could also be pushing you on as it connects with Jupiter and generates a surge of energy, both physical and mental. Be sure not to do anything rash without checking with one of your Earth Sign friends (Virgo, Capricorn or Taurus), however, as you still might not be seeing things clearly due to wishful thinking. Make sure that your impatience to get moving in a different direction doesn't cause you to miss some of the most important things you need to do to prepare. |
| 8-31-2007 Friday | Today looks like a busy, hectic day with a variety of activities vying for attention in numerous areas of your life. It may be hard to concentrate on any one thing long enough to complete a thought, so it might be a good idea not to make any major decisions, if you can avoid it. Your emotions will be filtering any information you receive and it's not a particularly good time to trust your feelings instead of your brain. Venus is still retrograde and causing various ruminations on our relationships, so if that is the center of today's dilemma, read the previous sentence again at least ten times before doing anything impulsive, no matter how angry, frustrated or disgusted you may be. On the other hand, you may be tempted to dive into a new relationship that has all the appearances of something you've been looking for, most likely for a long time. Again, read the third sentence. Your emotions are going to be running in high gear and should not be trusted. Really. |
| 9-01-2007 Saturday | Your heart and head are likely to be in synch today with that Virgo Sun and Taurus Moon reinforcing your practical side. Power and authority are also working together, along with a positive opportunity or two amongst the two genders of the species, meaning today is a good one for male-female interactions. It also looks favorable for taking some of your inspiration for improving your finances and putting some energy behind it to make it so. However, there's a big, red "X" out there, also, that's likely to cause a variety of effects. Unexpected or disruptive news is possible along with a surge of mental activity that's hard to tame or focus into a single goal. There may also be some deeply ingrained belief buried since childhood that's holding you back. There's no better time than the present to identify it and stare it down, once and for all, if you want to progress. |
| 9-02-2007 Sunday | There's a lot of emotional energy out there again that will tie your emotions into your dreams of having it all, including nothing less than endless romance and total financial freedom. Ah, yes, wouldn't it be nice? Nonetheless, this is not necessarily the impossible dream, particularly if you give it some serious, logical thought instead of simply daydreams enhanced by a few margaritas. Don't be too optimistic, but don't be too hard on yourself, either, based on past failures. See if you can make a few adjustments in your expectations to bring them closer to reality, then throw some unconventional ideas in the mix. You never know what you can accomplish until you try. |
| 9-03-2007 Monday | There's a big, red cosmic butterfly out there today, just waiting to mess with you in whatever way it can. If you have any inclinations toward being ADHD it will be accentuated today with emotions all over the map and energy scattered to the four winds for lack of a specific direction. Self-criticism is also likely, though you'll probably also be a bit rebellious about it all and blame everyone and everything, including the entire known Universe, for any and all failings, big and small. On the positive side, there should be some opportunities with members of the opposite sex, even if it's precipitated by a touch of misery loves company. An unexpected event of some description might necessitate an adjustment to your budget, but a creative approach done right might be all you need. |
| 9-04-2007 Tuesday | Today should be an interesting day for relationships, particularly those of the romantic variety. If you keep your ego out of the way and yield to that inclination to bare your soul, you may be surprised what happens. That retrograde Venus - Neptune opposition is still messing with your expectations of others, but if you make an attitude adjustment or two you may be able to get past your idealistic views and follow your heart. All of this could be precipitated by an event of some sort, though this could be of either the mental, physical, emotional or spiritual variety. Being somewhat confused is likely if you try to throw too much logic at it so your best bet today is probably to just go with your instincts. |
| 9-05-2007 Wednesday | If you're in a situation where you really ought to make a few adjustments, more than likely you're being pretty defensive and resistant, possible due to a dig, either self-imposed our external, about meeting your responsibilities. It could be no more than a voice from your past, most likely your mother, trying to get you to shape up. An emotional discussion is likely to be on the agenda today that will be a continuation of the themes that have been recurring over the past several days. All this relationship crap is probably getting old by now, but relief is in sight a few days hence when Venus rights herself and goes direct. Just remember that things usually get worse before they get better. Right now they could be worse. |
| 9-06-2007 Thursday | It may be hard to concentrate today and get anything done, no matter how sincere you intent may be. Interruptions are likely as well, both originated by other people as well as emotional interruptions of your own making. These will cover the gamut of sentimentality, ego satisfaction, practical considerations, resolving the past, and longing for a life infused with your romantic and professional ideals. Needless to say some serious adjustments will be required to get yourself grounded once more in reality. The Sun and Saturn in a nice, stable, Earth Sign like Virgo are trying to get you there, but they're hopelessly outnumbered by the other elements. More than likely it's not going to be a very productive day. |
| 9-07-2007 Friday | I'll bet there isn't a soul out there that isn't absolutely singing TGIF. Unless you absolutely adore your job, chances are you're ready for a break, even more so than usual. It may have been a short week, but it's probably been tiring, perhaps from partying too hard over the holiday then doing five days' work in four. Our energy is being scattered is various directions, which isn't helping us zero in on something specific and make any noticeable progress. We may really want to get something done, maybe even something we really like, but it's probably not happening. Your best bet today is to take a deep breath, don't beat yourself up about it, and just yield to the Universe. As Scarlett O'Hara would say, Tomorrow is another day. |
| 9-08-2007 Saturday | Something is bound to get on your last nerve today, possibly a significant other or perhaps something inanimate, like your checkbook. This could be because you want something that one of those entities is telling you is a big, fat no-no. What is probably even more annoying is the fact that you know it, just don't want to admit it, and your annoyance is bouncing around inside you like a marble-sized temper tantrum. On top of everything else, you'd really like to turn up the gain on pursuing your dreams. Getting organizing, however, isn't as easy as you'd think, even though emotionally you'd give blood and pay money to move in that direction. You may not realize it, but you have a secret weapon right now toward at least getting started. The Sun and Saturn are in Virgo, which is the most organized of all the astrological signs while Saturn is all about discipline and structure. So tell all those other planets and their plethora of distractions to take a hike and at least start making a list of what you need to do. One of the first principles of time management is the necessity of doing it mentally before you can begin to make it reality. See? You've made progress already. |
| 9-09-2007 Sunday | Now that Venus is no longer retrograde you may be able to start figuring out what you really expect in a significant other. It may not be realistic, but at least you'll know what you want. Remember that keyword, though, realistic. Especially if you try to open up a discussion of such with your honey, who may not be at all receptive other than what he or she happens to want from you. Remember the old adage that you can't expect perfection if you're not prepared to offer it. There's a hint of rebellion out there today, so if you insist on discussing sensitive subjects, brace yourself. Also make sure your goals are realistic before burning any bridges, whether they're based on your dreams or a power trip. On the positive side, now is a favorable time if you have something you need to do that requires planning and hunting down details. [Hint to the guys: Maybe this should include your anniversary.] |
| 9-10-2007 Monday | Today looks like a good day to take a long, hard logical look at whether or not you're being too idealistic, especially relative to you relationships. Expecting too much from someone or even life in general does nothing but set you up for some major disappointment. Now that Venus is in forward motion again, you should be able to figure a few things out and make any necessary changes. This may not come about in an easy, smooth manner, however, as a lively and somewhat emotional discussion could ensue. Not to worry, however, because you'll probably be happy with the end result. Your ego is likely to have a bit of a wakeup call, but with the Sun, Moon and Saturn in picky, self-critical Virgo, that should come about fairly easily. |
| 9-11-2007 Tuesday | New Moon today and needless to say this is a day that all of us remember with a fair share of dread; a day that will never be the same as it was before 2001. Today's transits imply some major transformations are brewing, similar to those that changed us all six years ago. Bear in mind that anything out there that is part of today's New Moon eclipse will last until the next New Moon eclipse, six months from now. During that time there could be some significant surprises that cause some major adjustments to any unrealistic views you may be holding onto. If you're too idealistic, something is likely to open your eyes to reality. Expect a lot of action with relationships. This could include major changes with existing ones or entirely new ones. Remember that relationships in this context include all one on ones, not just significant others. This includes close friends and family members as well as work and business associates. All these changes notwithstanding, If your drive is directed toward a specific vision, your ambition is likely to payoff. It also has the potential to change you completely. You could be a very different person a half-year from now. |
| 9-12-2007 Wednesday | There are still some definite aggressive tendencies out there still along with the possibility for some surprises at the personal level. If you're holding onto any worn-out ideals, now is a good time to let them go. If you don't do so voluntarily, something is likely to come along that forces the issue. If you're wanting to improve your standard of living and are using the excuse of doing more entertaining to justify it, you need to take a long, hard look at your checkbook as a sanity check. If you have any idea of some sort that you'd like to convey in a big or even extravagant way, the planets are in your favor. If nothing of any import happened yesterday, I still advice caution. That New Moon will be in effect for roughly six months, so we're not off the hook yet. If your emergency supplies aren't in order, I'd take steps in that direction. You never know.... |
| 9-13-2007 Thursday | No telling what could happen today. The potential for upsets and unexpected events is quite high and are likely to have a significant affect. Again, if your view of reality is through rose-colored glasses, it's time to sit up and take notice of what's going on in the real world. Misplaced idealism can cause gross understandings with those closest to you and set you up for some major disappointment. This type of change has to originate at the emotional level, where it resides, since much of this type of sentiment isn't exactly imbued with logic, anyway. Now is a good time to formulate some significant ideas and share them with others, particular those you care about the most. Everyone may not agree, but the discussion is likely to be fruitful nonetheless. |
| 9-14-2007 Friday | Your plans, whatever they may be, could be experiencing various interruptions and speedbumps lately. As much as you want to move forward emotionally, something is holding you back, whether it's something ingrained in your unconscious from childhood or perhaps something you remember all too well from your past. If you're concerned with repeating a past mistake, your best bet is to figure out what is driving you in that direction again. Attitude adjustments aren't always easy, but in most cases they'll pay off in the long run. This is not to say that you should ditch your dreams, only that getting them in synch with reality is probably advisable. If you're wanting something you can't quite afford, whether it's a possession of some description or a relationship, spend some time today figuring out why you want it. Once you know that, you may be able to get it after all. |
| 9-15-2007 Saturday | There's a heavy emphasis on all relationships today. It's a good day to talk things over and recognize that changes are in order. Some definite power plays are in effect and have been for several days. More than likely these are not exactly subtle, even though they may have been before. Personal change is probably required for any progress to be made, though some inspiration could lend some assistance toward a solution. Nonetheless, if you're holding onto some kind of ideal it is likely to be holding you back. Remember that sometimes the best way to end a tug-o-war is just to let go. Major surprises or upsets are possible if negotiations break down. |
| 9-16-2007 Sunday | If you haven't smoothed out all your relationships woes yet, there's still a few astrological incentives telling you that a change of heart and open communications with an emphasis on fairness could be the answer. This is not likely to be as easily said as done since emotionally you're still possibly hanging onto an ideal that simply doesn't exist. Juxtapose this with what is going on inside your head, which is possibly a bit of an ego trip squared off with really wanting to control the situation, and you're likely to have a rather stressful day. That is if these are current issues in your life. If all your relationships are in order, you'll sail right through this one as if you were immunized against a communicable disease. That's how these transits go, if they don't apply to growth you need to attain, they'll not only be painless but probably only noticeable through the whining of those around you. So, if you don't take care of it now, it will surely return to bite you again. Is your pride worth it? |
| 9-17-2007 Monday | Romantic fantasies are probably profuse these days and there may even be a surprise or two in this area. Opportunities to make connections are out there, so keep your eyes open. If someone offers to introduce you to someone, go for it. Particularly take a look at new venues if old ones are a bit stale. Nonetheless, realize that you may have to make some adjustments to your life style if someone new comes along. Philosophical rumblings are likely, possibly big ones. There's a lot to rumble about in the world these days. Nonetheless, for your own sense of identity and confidence it's good to know exactly what you believe, so if you don't know, give it some thought. As they say, everyone should believe in something, even if it's that you believe you'll have another beer. In spite of all the romance out there, conflicts with power brokers are still likely and your personal aggression as well may be ramped up a bit more than usual. If someone is keeping you from what you want, bear in mind that in this instance a direct confrontation is probably not the best way to handle it. |
| 9-18-2007 Tuesday | Power struggles are probably still apparent, more than likely at work. Management at one level or another may be jerking you around and getting on your last nerve. You may be able to win some favor with a new money-making idea, but before you take it to the corner office on the top floor make sure that it's based in reality or they're likely to eat your lunch. You probably won't be able to do much about what's going on in the workplace, but you can make sure you chill out when you get home. You should have a sympathetic ear when you get there, at least compared to work, but don't expect the entire universe to suddenly revolve around you just because you've had a crappy day. More than likely those around you haven't fared that much better. Keep your expectations of your honey in synch with reality. In fact, if you put a little extra effort into helping your significant other have a nice evening, more than likely yours will be rather pleasant as well. |
| 9-19-2007 Wednesday | Your emotions are likely to give your logical side an argument or two today as you find yourself slipping into sentimental excursions to the past. These could go back as far as your childhood, or at least to responses learned at that time, that could complicate something you'd thought was simple. In other words, the ideas you've been putting together and direction you want to go with them may be contrary to some deep-seeded emotional element you don't entirely understand. Talking about some of your fantastic ideas may come easily and doing so may actually create some opportunities, either in the form of someone who believes in you or maybe even someone who believes in you enough to break out some cash. They'll want to see some facts, however, so make sure you've thought your plan through enough that you don't look like some kind of weenie. With the Sun in Virgo, you should be able to put it together if you take the time to write it all down. |
| 9-20-2007 Thursday | Linking up those fantasies with the drive to make them reality is a possibility today. An extra boost of inspiration is also likely, so don't discount anything that sounds too far out without at least writing it down for future reference. Power trips are still everywhere and if you're honest with yourself you'll probably find a few you've been on yourself. Asserting yourself in a way to advance your interests isn't wrong in and of itself; it's whom you step on to get there that you need to watch out for. On the other hand, some major transformations in how you approach your ideas could make a difference in your success. Romantic or financial fantasies are still out there and are probably somewhat egocentric. This is not necessarily bad if you're willing to give something in return for what you expect. |
| 9-21-2007 Friday | Emotional adjustments will probably to be to your benefit today relative to your expectations about what your love life should be like versus what's reasonable. Past paradigms formed when you were growing up were probably not based on a clear perception of reality, plus times have changed. In other words, Dorothy, you're not in Kansas anymore. Candid discussions are favored including the ability to be fair and logical. You may even be able to explain your idealistic expectations in such a way that you'll understand them yourself along with how ridiculous they are. This is not to say that this will be a painless discussion, only that it will be fruitful and promote growth. Wanting your way won't go away anytime soon--well, at least not for a few more days--but getting an objective view of yourself will ultimately help you recognize what's possible versus what you've been looking for. |
| 9-22-2007 Saturday | If you're dealing with something or someone that would benefit from a good heart-to-heart talk, today is a favorable time to do so. Power struggles have been everywhere, most likely with vague ethical arguments on one side and more specific ideas or even hard data on the other. Nonetheless, progress is possible if you're willing to reserve judgment and address the problem honestly without playing the blame game. You should be able to express your side of the issue clearly and communicate your expectations in a positive way; just remember to give the other person equal time and consideration. Once the issue is settled, any necessary emotional adjustments are likely to find something solid to hang onto, especially if you ditch any wishful thinking that could be clouding your judgment and concentrate on all the practical reasons for moving on. |
| 9-23-2007 Sunday | The power struggles are still there, though the potential to resolve them via fair communications is there as well. In addition, the Sun slipped into Libra today, which will help eliminate some of the stark, defensive, shadows of criticism that always result from a Virgo Sun. Negotiations will thus be a bit easier as everyone gains the ability to see the world through someone else's knothole. Nonetheless, you're probably still hanging onto a few impossible dreams that could ironically only occur in an idealistic world filled with perfect people. At this point it's a good idea to look in the mirror and admit that you aren't perfect, either, so if such a person did exist, why would they want to be with you, anyway? Emotions and delusions are strong, so you might not be able to let go of your dreams just yet. Dreams in and of themselves aren't bad, only the way they can keep us from progressing in the real world if we don't recognize their limitations. |
| 9-24-2007 Monday | There may be an annoyance of some sort today relative to your responsibilities or perhaps you may be inclined to be self-critical. Obstacles of various types have probably been profuse lately, but like they say, that which doesn't kill you outright only makes you stronger. That Pluto-Sun-Mars T-square has been kicking everyone's butt lately, but should start to fade away, especially with the Sun now in fair and nonconfrontational Libra. Big disruptions and upsets have also been making the rounds thanks to that Jupiter - Uranus square. In other words, the planets have really been messing with us lately. Rest assured that this, too, shall pass, and in the meantime you can blame them for anything that isn't working out to your satisfaction. |
| 9-25-2007 Tuesday | Thank heavens (literally) that that insidious Mars-Pluto-Sun T-square has finally relaxed. This is not to say that everything is hunky-dorey, however, since that Jupiter - Uranus square is moving into place and probably already causing some crap. In combination with the T-square, it really was obnoxious, creating all sorts of meltdowns and temper tantrums, especially if any of these transits connected in an unfavorable way with your natal chart. Irritations relative to your obligations are still out there, whether they're undeserved late notices or someone giving you a bad time by "shoulding" on you. Nonetheless, communications are favored so don't pass up the opportunity to talk them out when the climate is good. Moods may be erratic today with the Moon in Pisces, contributing further to everything else that's going on. Are we having fun yet? |
| 9-26-2007 Wednesday | That Aries Moon will be messing with you today as she moves toward being full this afternoon. If there's something you want to do, you may find a few irritating obstacles in the way such as obligations or responsibilities. Mars and Pluto are still in a tug-o-war which isn't helping, either. At least Mercury should help you communicate effectively, especially from nice, diplomatic Libra. You may find yourself pondering past love interests as old memories surface like ripples on a still pond. Be realistic about why it didn't work out and play that against any idealistic expectations you may have in the relationship department. If the status quo is less than satisfactory, no doubt some changes are in order. Before you do anything drastic, make sure getting what you want isn't as simple as an attitude adjustment. |
| 9-27-2007 Thursday | Communicating your plethora of ideas should go well today, though you may encounter a few more obstacles in your way. If you're stepping on someone to get where you want to go, it may be brought to your attention in a rather annoying manner. If you haven't done the math on whatever it is you're trying to do, that could be what has its teeth in your butt, holding you back. You can thank Saturn for that one, and rest assured that now that he's in fellow Earth Sign, Virgo, you will be tripping over responsibilities and practical issues at every turn. Nonetheless, getting things done at work will be favored for the next two and a half years, so if you have a goal in mind you'd like to achieve in that timeframe, this should be quite helpful. The drive you're feeling now won't last, however, so take advantage of it while it's there. |
| 9-28-2007 Friday | You're likely to be somewhat emotional today which will imbue any conversations with a bit more passion than required to get your point across. Your drive to accomplish your goals can benefit from this excess emotional energy if you make it a point to recruit the help you need. Be selective in who you talk to, but if you choose wisely it could help you make some significant forward progress. That restlessness you feel is as irritating as chigger bites, but you're not going to get rid of it until you make some big changes to your belief system. Nothing comes without a price and you may not be able to make any progress until you quit fighting against something in your core beliefs that is probably holding you back. |
| 9-29-2007 Saturday | If you've been bombarded by one crisis after another, you can blame it on Jupiter and Uranus squaring off. Jupiter exaggerates and expands what he touches and Uranus, especially when retrograde, creates one surprise, upset or unexpected event after another. Hectic, annoying conflicts and crises are the name of the game and are likely to continue for another month. Today those events are likely to have an emotional flavor that remind you in no uncertain terms how imperfect the world is. However, if you pay attention and don't get too consumed by a pity party, you may actually have a pleasant surprise in there, too, which could come about by discovering a secret someone's been trying to keep, probably right under your nose. |
| 9-30-2007 Sunday | If you need to have a good, serious talk with someone about a less than pleasant subject, today is a good time to do it, especially if emotional adjustments will be required to resolve the situation. As you gain a deeper understanding of the situation you should be able to get right to the heart of the matter as long as you're assertive without being aggressive. Use as much logic as possible to keep things under control, but not so much that it comes on as annoying. Transformation of a romantic relationship or your understanding of one, past or present, could occur over the next week or so if you get off that perfection kick and open up your mind and heart to some ideas other than your own. |
| 10-01-2007 Monday | If you have an idea you want to propose to advance yourself in some way, today is a good one to jump right in and do so. Be sure to include relevant details that you've already thought out to show your seriousness. Opportunities are out there if you aren't afraid to be assertive. The emotional landscape could be a bit unsettled today, however, particularly around noon as the Moon opposes Jupiter. Your feelings could be amazingly logical, however, and perhaps move you toward some needed changes. Venus and Pluto are still in a friendly position, which could unearth some interesting memories or perhaps bring a current relationship to a new level of intimacy. Redefining your expectations toward your relationships is also favored at this time. |
| 10-02-2007 Tuesday | Those opportunities are still out there to advance yourself, if you put together a viable plan. This, combined with a people-oriented approach and a bit of passion expressed in a suitable way, could put you in a position to make some headway soon. A hectic pace, surprises, and the need for change, particularly of an emotional nature, are still in effect and will be for a while. If you have any self-defeating behaviors, now would be a good time to take a long, hard look at them and commit to turning them around. Remember that your greatest strength is also your greatest weakness, so it may just be a matter of how it's being applied. In other words, you can be so laid back that you're downright lazy or so energetic that you drive everybody nuts. That Libra Sun can help you find balance, so put it to good use. |
| 10-03-2007 Wednesday | If there are issues that need to be discussed on the homefront, today is a good day to lay your cards on the table. Responsibilities need to be shared and communicating this in an honest, assertive manner can make progress if you speak with authority. Emotional adjustments will probably be required to get everyone's belief system on the same page. Disruptions of an emotional nature are likely to continue for a while and make for a rather stressful time unless you take control of your environment and set priorities. This will be easier said than done today, however, as your head and heart may have a difficult time agreeing with one another. |
| 10-04-2007 Thursday | Those blasts from your romantic past are still in force, with old memories surfacing like pond scum. Some of them are likely to be downright annoying today as you wonder what you were thinking at the time. The real question is whether you've changed since then or would make the same mistake again. If so, that is probably the source of your frustration. Disruptions and upsets are still popping up like mushrooms after a spring rain. Handle them the best you can, but don't be too hard on yourself if you can't keep up with everything. Before you expend too much time on any of them, figure out if in a short time they'll be overcome by events and no longer relevant. Getting those around you to accept their responsibilities is still favored if you speak your mind clearly but not forcefully. |
| 10-05-2007 Friday | This is bound to be another TGIF if there ever was one. If there's one thing you can get your head and heart together on, that will be it. Getting your home organized is still favored, especially if you enlist the help of everyone responsible for keeping it running smoothly. Now is a good time to get to work on that to-do list; at the least, create a job jar if it's all too overwhelming to consider at once. Expect interruptions and upsets to be the norm for a while and direct your annoyance toward that square between Jupiter and Uranus. Pluto and Venus are still reminiscing in one way or another. If there's someone you can't forget but want to, you need to figure out why you're allowing him or her to still have so much control. If you're just beating yourself up over past mistakes, maybe it's time to let it go. |
| 10-06-2007 Saturday |
Big surprises are still coming fast and furious as that Jupiter - Uranus square closes in to exactness. These can be of just about any variety and will span the emotional spectrum. Some could challenge your belief system in a serious way, but the end result could be a favorable change in how you see the world. Conversations will be a little forceful, plus there could be a lot left unsaid, yet there's a good chance of making progress in getting your point across. Longing for a more comfortable existence is likely today, but the good news is that there are opportunities to move forward if you're willing to work hard and carefully enough to get there. Continue to scrutinize your past for lessons you missed the first time around. Don't forget those lessons your mother taught you while you're giving it some thought. |
| 10-07-2007 Sunday | Those unexpected events, upsets, and surprises are still messing with us, but other than that the planets are relatively well-behaved. Assertive communications are still favored that may reveal something previously hidden plus you may have sorted a few things out the past few days that is moving you toward an adjustment in how you see the world. Thoughts of females from your past are still hanging around, though they may not linger long, just hail back a memory or two from time to time. This could be of any females, including your mother, aunts, sisters, friends, etc. There is something that person taught you that you may have missed, so pay attention to what you remember, then figure out why that particular event came to mind. All things look different through the lens of time and there may be numerous events you didn't really comprehend at the time, but could now. Opportunities for advancement are out there also if you apply yourself. |
| 10-08-2007 Monday | Leave it to the Moon to throw an uncomfortable T-square to that already bothersome Uranus - Jupiter square. Fortunately she moves quickly, so it should be gone by tomorrow, though the cleanup tasks could last a bit longer. Make sure you don't expect perfection from those around you as that will only complicate matters. If you obsess on such feelings it may keep you from seeing things as they really are or could be, or if you express it openly you may cause hurt feelings and alienate the very people you need the most. The best approach is to get over it and see the cup as half full rather than empty. |
| 10-09-2007 Tuesday | Something from your past that you haven't entirely resolved may emerge around the middle of the day and cause you to be rather self-critical. Remember that "shoulding" on yourself is self-defeating. Good decisions come from experience and experience comes from bad decisions. Such is life; learn from it and move on. Remember to be as fair with yourself as you would be with your best friend. If you can manage this emotional feat, there are opportunities for you to reevaluate who and what you are in a positive way. Bear in mind that this may require an attitude adjustment or even a significant change or two on your part to get there that won't necessarily be easy. Anything worth obtaining is going to require some effort. Even if your life is in perfect order, everyone can benefit from being more organized and goal-oriented with now a good time to do it. |
| 10-10-2007 Wednesday | Your personal ambition to get something together is strong today, so put it to work. This will be in effect for a few days so if there's something you need to do that requires organization and discipline, you couldn't have more astrological help to do so than today. We're also moving toward a New Moon, which gives you a tremendous opportunity to turn over a new leaf in some area of your life. With the New Moon in Libra, this is likely to have something to do with a relationship. Candid discussions and conversations are also favored, including those that address your hopes and dreams, so go for it while the getting's good. Of course there's no such thing as a perfect day and how today's transits affect you will depend on your individual Natal Chart, but today's transits in general are quite good, which is quite refreshing. Put it to good use. |
| 10-11-2007 Thursday | Today looks like another good day very similar to yesterday. Goal-oriented ambition is favored along with good communications. That waning New Moon is tied in with Neptune in a positive way that can give your dreams a nice boost as well. While the Sun is in Libra is a really good time to work on your relationships. We may get fed up with other people sometimes and want to turn into a hermit, but even though alone time is needed every now and then, in reality we really can't get by entirely alone. If everyone in your life seems to be a pain in the butt, you need to figure out a few things. First of all, why do you choose to be associated with such people? If you're related to them, it may not have been your choice, but how you deal with them is. Next, are you part of the problem or part of the solution? Like they say, it takes two. Sustaining an adversarial relationship requires two; if one party refuses to fight, it won't happen. It's simply no fun if the other party refuses to engage. Fair Libra should help you continue to work on this in a constructive way. |
| 10-12-2007 Friday | The planets are still behaving relatively well, though that depends on how they're relating to your Natal or Progressed Chart. Seeing your dreams for what they are is still possible, if you'll use that Libra Sun to look at them carefully. Be objective and think about what you'd tell your best friend if they brought the same thing to you. Communicating with your heart is likely, though this may best be done internally since Mercury just went retrograde, making it more difficult to explain yourself to others. Nonetheless, there is some assistance out there to help you put some discipline and organization behind it along with some good ol' fashioned elbow grease. Enthusiasm, organized practicality, passion and expressing yourself to others are all in favorable aspect today, so go for it. |
| 10-13-2007 Saturday | Jupiter and Uranus are still stirring things up and the Moon and Neptune are more than likely messing with you as well. If you've been basing your entire future on winning the lotto, these two will probably encourage that particular approach to financial planning. No matter how much you may deserve it; and true, someone will probably win; and true again, if you don't buy a ticket you surely won't win; and true even again, you've promised God that you'll be perfect for the rest of your life if you do; and nonetheless, the lotto is still a tax on those who are bad at math. Having to change your tactics to assure your future survival and financial well-being is a cross that most of us have to bear. Some assistance with applying the drive and hard work necessary to succeed are out there. The odds of that are much better than those of winning the lotto. Reality bites, I know, but better to work with it than have it kick your butt. |
| 10-14-2007 Sunday | Venus and Saturn are in a cosmic hug today in Virgo, which could help you get a project off the ground at work. While those two planets have quite different vibes, they're ability to work together in a positive way, especially in busy Virgo, can be helpful toward directing some discipline and structure toward something that needs to get done. Virgo hosts the House of work, health and pets, so between that and this pair of visitors, you could have a nice boost toward achieving some goals in that area, especially with Mars throwing some drive in that direction as well. Male - female relationships should go reasonably well, with an opportunity of some sort in the mix. If you need to have a serious discussion of some sort remember that Mercury is retrograde, so you need to talk slowly and as clearly as humanly possible, then be prepared to be misunderstood. Emotions could be strong today and a variety of moods are possible. Personal fantasies or insights will be out there for a few more days, so enjoy them while they last. |
| 10-15-2007 Monday | There's a nice sextile pattern out there today that should make for some interesting discussions. This is likely to be a substantial conversation that is fairly serious in nature. With Mercury retrograde, your best bet is to stick to old subjects that you never quite got resolved since moving forward isn't likely until after November 3. This could be a relationship discussion, especially with the Sun in Libra, or it could relate to putting your finances in order, or maybe even both. The females of the species are likely to be a bit torn emotionally, so brace yourself. Nonetheless, the aspects are positive, which works in your favor to work it out. Dreams and the faith to attaining them are out there as well, though that Jupiter - Uranus square is still hanging around trying to force some changes that might not be what you want. It's also stirring things up in general and is to blame for the hectic pace you've seen lately. Isn't it nice when you have something to blame besides yourself? |
| 10-16-2007 Tuesday | There's a variety of things going on out there today that run the gamut from personal fantasies to ruminating on your past and a continuation of those male-female dialogs that have been vying for attention the past several days. Conversations that rehash old issues are most likely to be fruitful; progress on anything new isn't as likely. That Venus-Saturn conjunction is still pretty tight and could be reminding you of your responsibilities to your relationships, nagging you to balance your checkbook, or even urging you to lean toward something more practical in that furniture you want to buy. A surprise or two is still likely and retrograde Mercury is probably just warming up messing with your electronics. Yes-siree, folks, that's what it is, good ol' RX Mercury. And to think I was surprised when my cell phone battery starting acting weird. And along those lines, if you're shopping for a car, major appliance or electronic device, keep on shopping until Mercury rights himself again. At least this stint is relatively short, i.e. until November 3rd. Thank the heavens for small favors. |
| 10-17-2007 Wednesday | If you look at today's chart wheel you'll notice that the aspects bear a striking resemblance to the opening configuration of cat's cradle. Those of you familiar with this childhood game of year's past, which involved manipulating a piece of string between your fingers and someone else's, will also recall that it was rare for anyone to win. The good news today is that the aspects are once again quite good so that is probably where this analogy breaks down. There are probably still surprises and upsets all around you, but in such lies opportunity if you keep your eyes open as opposed to hiding them in the face of adversity. All the opportunities to rehash pasts issues, particularly as they relate to relationships, are still there, but now the Moon is giving them a little extra emotional punch. With the Moon in Capricorn, however, this is likely to carry a different type of reaction, perhaps more to commitment or accepting responsibilities than the yelling or boo-hoo type of reaction most people equate with emotions. Use it to integrate your head and your heart in a way that will help you solve whatever challenges are confronting you these days. |
| 10-18-2007 Thursday | That sextile that's promoting what are hopefully positive discussions is still hanging in there, giving us plenty of time to work any issues that have been giving us a bad time for what could be a long time. Today Pluto and the Sun are getting into the game, which could contribute to some deep soul-searching or perhaps digging into some part of your past that has set the stage for whatever issues you're dealing with now. In theory we should all learn as we grow older, so situations that caused emotional trauma in the past may be more understandable now, allowing us to resolve them and put them behind us. For example, if your teacher yelled at you one time, back when you were in 3rd grade, you should be mature enough now to get over it with the realization he or she was probably just having a bad day, whereas at the time and perhaps for years afterward you toted around the hurt and humiliation. On the other hand, you could have taken it to an extreme and not pursued a higher education simply because of an inordinate fear of teachers. Now is an excellent time to have a conversation with yourself, if no one else, and set it aside so you can move forward. |
| 10-19-2007 Friday | That nice sextile pattern that has been coaching you to work out some of either your relationship woes or perhaps getting a grip on your financial future and additional responsibility is slowly starting to break up, so if you haven't taken care of business yet you'd better get to it. Upsets are likely today, more than likely in one of these same areas, so if you still have something you need to work out, use this as a catalyst to do so. Your head and your heart may be at cross-purposes today, but by tomorrow this should improve. The next few days, be sure to find some quiet time to give some serious thought to what your deepest beliefs and philosophy of life really are. If you really know what your foundation is, it will be easier for you to find the direction you need to go. You may come up with some pretty grandiose ideas in the next little while, but beware of being overly optimistic without something concrete to substantiate it. Don't count on anything resembling a perfect world because I assure you, it's not. |
| 10-20-2007 Saturday | Introspection is favored, as always, during this Mercury retrograde period, and with him dinking around in Scorpio, more than likely these thoughts have something to do with a part of your life that you need to let die so it can rise again like the legendary Phoenix. The ambition, courage, and energy required to do so is out there, if you'll just trust the universe for a change and relinquish control. Regardless of how smart you may think you are, you'd be surprised at how well the heavens can take care of things if you'll just listen for a change instead of arguing. Some adjustments and recognition of elements from your past will be required before you can move forward, however. With the Sun in relationship-oriented Libra, who's throwing a sextile to Pluto, plus the Moon, who has a tremendous influence on our emotions, out there having a brief, yet important dialog with Venus, you can expect a revelation or two relative to past relationships. This is likely to include your part in them, the results of your behavior, and perhaps even recognizing what you need as well as the price you'll need to pay to get what you really want. A few more days and the Sun will move into Scorpio, leaving this relationship crap behind for a while, but if you don't take care of business now it will surely haunt you later. |
| 10-21-2007 Sunday | Today is a good day to get your heart and your head together relative to something from your past that has been haunting you for sometime now. You may tend to be a bit idealistic, however, so make sure you don't measure yourself against too high of standard and facilitate a bunch of self-criticism that you probably don't need. Mercury is still retrograde and will be for another two weeks. He's in Scorpio for a few more days, which will also help you work on that old baggage you're trying to get rid of, and then he'll back into Libra, which puts us back on that relationship bandwagon again. If you have work to do around the house, there should be some drive to get it done, now that that weather is cooler and the holidays are coming up fast. |
| 10-22-2007 Monday | There's quite a bit of opposition out there that is likely to show up as some surprises or upsets that hit you in the pocketbook. You may want something very badly that for some reason or another you simply can't have because it would be irresponsible to do so. A tantrum would possibly make it feel better, but if you breathe your way through it, you should be able to direct your ambitions in a more constructive direction. If possible, use whatever it is you want as a goal to motivate you toward attaining it in a sensible and reasonable manner. Inspiration and a host of ideas are floating around out there if you just reach out and grab one. Opportunities for transformations are there as well, if you have the courage to confront whatever it is that's been holding you back. If you don't know what it is, then you're simply not listening. |
| 10-23-2007 Tuesday | Most of the planets are loners out there today and the ones that are talking to one another aren't necessary very friendly. Changes or surprises related to your income or other possessions are likely. It might be something like an imposed change in how you perform your work, perhaps at the whim of someone up there in a corner office who really doesn't know that much about what you do anyway. You may run into an old friend or acquaintance today, or someone that reminds you of one, that stirs up some distant memories. Inspiration is still out there for the taking if you'll just let your mind run loose for a while and throw off the usual boundaries and restrictions that tell you it can't be done. |
| 10-24-2007 Wednesday | The Sun moves into Scorpio today, or actually late yesterday. There are still some opportunities for deep introspection, especially if you are still trying to sort out some relationship issues as they relate to your philosophy of life. Remember that "relationships" in this context covers the gamut of all one-on-one interactions, not just significant others. This could relate to business partners, close friends or relatives, or any other in this category. Think about those with whom you associate in a group setting and consider how your relationship with some of those as individuals is perhaps different than it is when you're interacting as a group. This can apply to work or family members, where you have an entirely different communication style or perception of one another when it's just the two of you versus when others are present. This aspect relates to when you're one-on-one. Changes at work, perhaps of a very significant nature, are possible, which could affect your job or how it's performed. Be as flexible as possible and guard against have an emotional reaction that could come back to bite you later. If there are disruptions or upsets at work, this is not the time to be perceived as high-maintenance in any way. |
| 10-25-2007 Thursday | You may experience a change of heart over something or someone today as you come to realize that your core beliefs are slightly different than you realized. We can outgrow situations, relationships, or even our jobs, as we move forward and learn to see things with a broader perspective than we did before. Mercury is still retrograde and with him back in Libra, he's putting that introspection to work on relationships, and we're likely today to be a bit one-sided in our appraisal. More than likely you'd be able to name off a list of things that the other person did wrong without any thought whatsoever to what you may have done. There's more than a marginal chance that you're being too kind to yourself or that you're subscribing to a viewpoint that's far too idealistic. Dig into your past a bit to discover the origin of your core beliefs, then decide if they're still valid or overcome by events, including life itself. |
| 10-26-2007 Friday | You are probably still struggling a bit with those changes, either in a relationship or regarding your finances, or maybe both. Your sense of responsibility today is likely to be strong and any decisions you make will be quite practical. You may even be quite willing to take on some additional obligations of some sort, which would eventually result in some new opportunities. Your introspections to the past are still likely to be fruitful and perhaps even help you learn something about yourself and how you relate to others that you hadn't realized before. Think about how some of the people who annoy you act, then ask yourself with total honesty whether you do the same thing. Being blind to our own faults is common, but progression won't come until we recognize the ones that are standing in our way. What do you need to change about yourself to move forward? |
| 10-27-2007 Saturday | Those introspections and forensic exercises on your past could bear fruit today as you come to grips with them on an emotional level. You may have been able to see it intellectually before, but now the meaning is starting to sink in. This could contribute in a very positive way to your sense of personal responsibility and could also bring about a tweak or two to your expectations. The worst part about expectations is that usually the other people in our lives are totally oblivious to them, either because we've failed to express them or they don't understand their importance. There is also the possibility that they are so totally out of whack as far as reality is concerned that there's no point of even trying, because chances are you wouldn't be satisfied, anyway. Being critical of our relationships at all levels has been quite easy lately. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, provided you realize that any relationship requires at least two people and more than likely any problems aren't entirely one-sided. Expecting the other person to be a mind-reader doesn't work. Mercury retrograde in Libra might help you put some balance into your thoughts to help work things out. |
| 10-28-2007 Sunday | Delving into our past for answers is still a major theme out there, so don't ignore it. Likewise, your dreams and sense of an ideal existence is also vying for attention, trying to expand your view of the world, what makes it tick, and your place within it. Work or relationship issues are still active, also, as are significant changes at an emotional level as we embrace new core beliefs. An adjustment to your expectations, either of your job or significant other, can help you come to grips with a variety of issues, if you're willing to listen. Changes of any kind require energy, and that is out there, also, if you'll just tune in and tap it. Needless to say, there isn't too much stability out there right now, though that isn't what helps us grow and progress. Challenges are part of life, and without them you'll never know what you're capable of handling or accomplishing. Embracing change and the growth that comes with it is what we're here to accomplish. If you don't take care of business this go-round, it will knock on your door again sooner or later. |
| 10-29-2007 Monday | Opportunities to revamp your belief system with some good ol' fashioned inspiration are out there today as well as a chance to earn some recognition for all your hard work as Mars throws an extra shot of ambition your way. Mercury is still retrograde and messing with electronics and mechanical devices, but that will be over in a few more days. Use the few days that remain for something useful, like thinking about how to improve the relationships in your life and whether you really show appreciation to the ones you love like you should. More than likely you'll encounter a few mixed emotions today as you may have to change the way you do a few things. This may necessitate an attitude adjustment or revamping a few beliefs that are a bit on the idealistic side, at least if you want to make things work. Otherwise you may be trying to push a boulder uphill. |
| 10-30-2007 Tuesday | The Moon and Mars are crossing paths today in Cancer and their brief conjunction is likely to generate a burst of energy. Use it wisely to make some headway on something you know you need to get done. If you're looking at your sweetie with a critical eye these days, be sure you can justify yourself in a rational way. There are two sides to every story and most of them are highly subjective. Remember, also, that you can't throw mud without getting some on yourself. If you're with the wrong person, admit it and move on, but don't make yourself out to be a saint if you're not. While the Sun is in Scorpio, things that have been previously hidden have a real knack for coming out. Make sure there's nothing out there that could bite you in the rear, particularly when you're busy pointing at someone else. |
| 10-31-2007 Wednesday | The planets are trick or treating today with a variety of action from soup to nuts. If your significant other is quite a bit different than yourself, more than likely you've been giving that a lot of thought lately as you compare him or her to your personal ideal and try to justify your view of the world. You may think a lot of changes are in order, but before you make too much noise about it, better take a good look in the mirror; don't forget to remove your mask. Opportunities at work are likely, but first you need to decide if you want to put in the required amount of work to get there. Ambition may seem strong, but make sure it's mental and not emotional. A combination of the two is usually needed for genuine success, but make sure you understand what you're getting into and have the commitment to see it through, or you might wind up looking foolish. Inspiration is out there today, but make sure it passes the reality test before promoting it as the best thing since sliced bread. |
| 11-01-2007 Thursday | That Leo Moon today could stir up a few tempers with neither side willing to give an inch. Criticism is cheap today and, with Mercury still retrograde, is likely to cause a few misunderstandings over irrelevant details that are likely to be blown out of proportion and forgotten in a few days. Your best bet is to harness the positive energy that's out there and use it toward a project of a personal nature that you can work on alone, and thus do exactly the way you want. Do everyone else a favor as well and keep your opinion to yourself unless you're asked. Introspection could reveal a few things you hadn't thought about before and yield a new approach to an existing problem, which will be a lot more useful than tangling with someone over something that flat-out ain't worth it. |
| 11-02-2007 Friday | Around midday the Moon will tie in with Jupiter and Neptune in such a way that it can balance out any needed decisions emotionally with the right mix of enthusiasm and inspiration. At the extreme, too much idealism can be a bad thing, but in the right combination with common sense, it can be a good goal. Gratefully, Mercury is back on track, so our thought processes are crisper, communication skills back in tune, and moving forward with our ideas now has the astrological go-ahead we've been waiting for. Expect a naysayer or two, but security and practicality have their place in any plan and are worth considering to avoid trouble later. Any team should have a balance of different opinions and drivers to keep it on track. If it's good enough for the Universe, it should be good enough for you. |
| 11-03-2007 Saturday | A nice Grand Water Trine came together today that is going to last for a few days. What it's telling us to do along with a few of the other planets is to move forward and resolve any issues we may have, especially those that relate to our childhood, then make a commitment to transform our past into a new way of seeing the world. Inspiration to make a few changes in our belief system are out there, and with Mercury direct again, we should be able to put our thoughts into action. There may be a few peeps from the peanut gallery about everyone else's faults, but being the victim is not the way to get ahead in this world. Try not to criticize others today, easy thought it may be, but concentrate on how you're going to change a few things so you can ready yourself to make some serious progress in 2008 toward the direction you choose. |
| 11-04-2007 Sunday | There's a tremendous amount of emotional energy out there today that is likely to manifest itself in a variety of ways that could cover the entire spectrum. At one point, you're likely to think you know exactly what you want, believe you have the energy and power to make it happen, and be willing to risk a few changes to get there. Dreams and inspiration will be as thick as Houston humidity, and you'll be all fired up and ready to get to it. Just about the time you really believe in your ability to make it happen you're likely to encounter a full frontal attack of self-criticism based on past mistakes and self doubts, your current level of responsibility, and the realization of what is really involved. The frustration will start again, the energy will build up, there'll be another crescendo of can-do inspiration, followed by another reality crash. Your best bet is to put it aside for now, chill out and relax, count your blessings, then take it on again in two days when the Moon moves into fair Libra so you can balance it out in a logical, Air Sign way, especially with Mercury there as well and gratefully out of retrograde. |
| 11-05-2007 Monday | That emotional energy is still bubbling away in the Water Signs, more than likely producing a lot of nervous energy and impatience to get on with what you want to do with your life. Dreams and inspiration could be running hot as well, and there might even be a bit of logic in there to give it a modicum of sanity. This will be balanced somewhat by the action over there in practical Virgo, at least from stern and structured Saturn. The Moon and Venus are there as well, however, and in a bear hug that's tied into Pluto in a rather unfavorable square. When those three get together, it's most likely going to mean something is going on with your past and/or love life. Given the Virgo flavor, you're likely to be critical of whatever or whoever was involved and probably a little too hard on yourself as well. Remember that Pluto, the Zodiacal plunger, may churn up memories you're rather not deal with, but like the plumbing that he also rules, once it's all flushed out things will go much better. Until you get to the root of a problem, it's never going to go away. |
| 11-06-2007 Tuesday | That Grand Water Trine is still out there, stirring up your emotional drive and need for change like a giant blender. If there's anything that's been bothering you lately, it's likely to reach the point where you've finally had enough and are ready to do something about it. In particular, if you're having relationship problems of any sort, your tolerance level is probably at the saturation point, yet some tiny, little voice inside your head is still admonishing you to be fair, that maybe it's not all them. If something from your past still needs to be resolved in order to solve the situation, now is the time to confront it. This is likely to be something that's deeper than simply changing your mind casually about something that happened. More than likely it was a big deal of some sort and to get past it is going to represent a transformation of sorts. It's climbing an emotional mountain and it might be a little scary what's on the other side. Nonetheless, you will be stuck on the rocky slopes with winter snows about to begin if you don't get a grip and get to it. Once you reach the summit and can see the vista beyond, it will all be worth it. |
| 11-07-2007 Wednesday | There is a lot of positive energy out there today with just enough challenge to make it interesting. That Grand Water Trine is still in force, giving you an astrological kick in the butt to make the changes you need to be happier with your life. There is also some inspiration that might come in a rather unconventional way, yet feel rather comfortable, even if it's a little bit outside your usual way of thinking. Working on getting rid of old baggage is still there as well, which may be a prerequisite to getting anywhere with those upcoming opportunities. If there is anything you're holding onto that's really holding you back, have a good talk with yourself and decide why you're so reluctant to drop that 100 pound sack of past crap beside the road so you can move forward unencumbered. What are you waiting for? |
| 11-08-2007 Thursday |
Our friendly, hopefully motivating, Grand Water Trine is still hanging in there and he may be wondering what more you need to get on with your life. Water Signs are driven by emotion and they have an incredible amount of persistence. Whenever you think that water is wishy-washy, remind yourself that it was water that created the Grand Canyon. What is there that you would like to accomplish that takes that kind of ongoing perseverance to make it happen? Nothing worth doing is going to be handed to you, unless, of course, you did something pretty spectacular in your past life and earned it then. More than likely it's right in front of you, but you need to make at least a cursory effort to look for it. Look at it like a astrological scavenger hunt with a big reward at the end. In other words, the inspiration is still there, and the astrological assistance toward dropping that baggage by the side of the road is still trying to get your attention. Hello? Are you listening? |
| 11-09-2007 Friday | New Moon today, which can mean a new beginning. Since this lunation is in Scorpio, this represents an even stronger push since it's the Zodiacal House of transformations. If your birthday is on or immediately around November 10, this should have a significant impact on your life. It might not be noticeable today, but could well develop over the course of the next year. Furthermore, it's not only a New Moon, but it's tied into that Grand Trine we've been talking about the past several days, so those changes that have been developing should be about to happen. Continue to do what you can to ditch that old baggage and continue to listen to any inspirational ideas coming your way. Change is seldom easy, but don't immediately discount it because it seems like to much of a challenge. It makes sense to count to cost, but don't forget to balance it out with the benefits as well. |
| 11-10-2007 Saturday | Your dreams and imagination could be extremely vivid today, providing a large dose of inspiration. There's a good chance that it's not tied in very well with reality, however, so enjoy it, but don't take it too seriously, at least not to the point of mortgaging your home to set up an internet service in Costa Rica. Even if it's slightly less avant-garde, there's a good chance that you aren't quite ready to take the plunge of faith or lifestyle change required to make it happen. If you're toting around any worn out ideas about relationships, you may find yourself giving them some thought. It may not be a painless exercise, but just like a root canal, you could be much better off if you take a close look at any one on one relationships that have been bothering you lately, whether it's your relationship with your parents, siblings, friends, or lovers. Relationships are an art rather than a science and it's impossible to know it all, with the bulk coming from experience. Use what's out there today to learn a little more about yourself and those closest to you. |
| 11-11-2007 Sunday | Today the impetus for change is more concentrated in the change itself as opposed to being self-motivated. In other words, circumstances may dictate change, whether you like it or not. Your best bet is to go with the flow and trust the Universe as opportunities frequently come disguised as challenges. Don't trust everything you hear or see for the next several days without some hard evidence to back it up. Your instincts for finding hidden facts or little known information should be strong, so keep your eyes, ears and mind open accordingly. You may find yourself in a brief internal battle between doing something you'd like to do to indulge yourself versus doing what you should do to be responsible. If you take your time to decide, the urge will probably pass. Jupiter is closing in on Pluto, which will be in force until approximately the end of the year. This should do a number on some of your core beliefs. If there are any that don't work for you any longer, they'll be about as hard to miss as a blow-out at 80 mph. |
| 11-12-2007 Monday |
It looks like a Monday out there, all right, with our druthers more likely to be directed toward staying home with a good book or flat-out daydreaming versus dragging into work or school. If you have the federal holidays off, you're probably doing just that. About everything out there is either emotional or quirky, so chances are good that you won't be able to concentrate on much anyway. This is one of those days where you could really get creative calling in with the excuse du jour. Like the fish in your aquarium are acting strangely and you're afraid they might hurt each other, you think your washing machine is going to break down, or you can't find the shoes that match what you had picked out to wear today. If nothing else, tell 'em that with Jupiter and Pluto getting cozy you have this irresistible urge to start planning an extended trip to your ancestral home, preferably on some continent other than where you are now. Or, better yet, you need to make travel arrangements to spend the winter solstice at Stonehenge. You get the idea. Anywhere but here. |
| 11-13-2007 Tuesday | It should be easier to communicate your deepest emotions and needs today, should that be something that's on your current to-do list. You also should have a fair amount of ambition going for you, which should serve as motivation to get started on something that you may have been putting off for a while. If you've been hassling with relationship problems lately, you should be able to look at them with a bit more practicality today, which should help you identify a few other options. More than likely your core beliefs could stand some remodeling, which is going to become increasingly more apparent over the next month or so as Jupiter closes in on Pluto in Sagittarius. Jupiter is on his home ground there and can throw some serious influence toward our beliefs, whether they're political, religious, cultural or academic. If any of them feel a little uncomfortable, somewhat like outgrowing an item of clothing that used to fit but now restricts your movement, Pluto will see to it that you do some serious shopping and find something in a larger size to accommodate the growth you've accomplished since your last review. |
| 11-14-2007 Wednesday | Even some of the planets are getting on each other's nerves today so don't be surprised if you have various disagreements with yourself or those around you. You're likely to want to indulge in something, whether its an expensive new toy or a huge, ice cream sundae, but you'll feel incredibly guilty doing so. You also may want to take control of something in your life, yet something is telling you to lighten up to the tune of live and let live. In other words, if you're involved in some sort of "king of the mountain" game, it's more likely to cause some problems that will be a pain to unravel versus advancing your cause. If your life seems tangled up and dissatisfactory in every conceivable way, your key today is to make some changes. If you pay attention you'll notice that your head and heart are disagreeing with one another. It's probably not a matter of one being right and the other wrong, just two divergent points of view. Resolution lies making a compromise that combines elements of each. Give it a try. |
| 11-15-2007 Thursday | Today is likely to be somewhat nerve-wracking with little annoyances buzzing around like mosquitoes. These are likely to be largely generated within and will probably relate to such things as past mistakes, inflated beliefs, and perhaps some inconvenience like having to work late when you have a hot date. Other conflicts could include those ongoing fantasies or pipe dreams for a more perfect world with a few male-female relationship problems thrown in for good measure. On the positive side, it's a good day to step up to the plate at work and let your boss know what you're willing to do to advance yourself professionally. It's also a good time to start putting together a serious plan for any changes vying for attention, particularly those that might involve things you need to get to around the house. Mars went retrograde today, which will be the case until January 30. This will dampen your ambition a bit action-wise, but can help you decide if that's really the direction you need to go or not. |
| 11-16-2007 Friday | The Moon is really stirring things up today, especially around noon, so if you experience an emotional surge seemingly from nowhere, that's where it's coming from. That part of the mystery might be solved, but it doesn't mean that there isn't any substance there. If there's anything you've been suppressing, more than likely it's going to leak out, even if you think you've got it under control, especially anything related to male-female relationships (now there's a surprise). You might be able to control yourself enough to not say anything specific, but your emotional vibes will give you away. Your best bet is to be honest and put it all on the table. Little annoyances abound today as well, however, and you're likely to react to them more strongly that usual. Therefore, it's best if you try to ignore the little stuff that's specific to today and concentrate of any issues that have been out there for a while. With Pluto and Jupiter converging into a bear hug and Mars retrograde, it's very likely that a lot of past issues are going to start surfacing over the next few weeks or so, along with any anger you've kept underwraps. Just remember that feelings buried alive never die (which also happens to be the title of one of my favorite books of all time.) |
| 11-17-2007 Saturday | If there's something you've always wanted but never quite got, it's likely to be on your mind today. You may even have a surge of inspiration, possible a big one, to go after it again. If there were any hidden elements associated with this or any other issue, for that matter, there's a good chance that new information will surface at this time. This news could be annoying, but once you get past your initial anger and put it in the proper perspective, you're likely to be able to find an opportunity lying the yesterday's shadow. Putting all these cosmic pieces together is something only you can do, but more than likely the concepts here are ringing a bell of sorts in your mind regarding what it could relate to. Male-female relationships, whether romantic or otherwise, are likely to be a bit strained over the next week or so. Thus, if a person of the opposite sex is at the root of any of this, it's really not the best time to try to iron it out. The guys will probably want to talk it out, but the more the gals listen, the angrier they're likely to get, so it's probably better to put it off until after the Thanksgiving holidays, if at all possible. |
| 11-18-2007 Sunday | Uh-oh, that Grand Water Trine is back and the Moon is moving in to give it even more emotional punch this afternoon. If there's something bothering you, you'll probably want to talk about it, ad nauseam. You may find some poor soul who lends a sympathetic ear, but don't take too much advantage of a friend's good nature unless you're willing to give him or her equal time bitching about their own problems. You may especially be questioning all the good deeds you've done in your life and whether you were being a nice person or a sucker. You're also likely to be questioning your values more and more over the next few months and whether you have your priorities straight. If you don't, expect to experience several nudges or even kicks in the butt that will be designed by the cosmos to get your attention pointed in the right direction. Life is too short to spend it barking up the wrong tree. |
| 11-19-2007 Monday | Ruminating on some element of your past is likely and this probably won't be a happy trip down memory lane. With that Grand Water Trine still yanking on our emotions, we're likely to be doing some serious emoting. There's a good chance that part of the situation will involve some dream you had that was perhaps a bit too idealistic and never came about. It may have even bitten you in the butt, in one way or another, and came about because of putting a little too much trust or faith in someone or something that didn't come through. Beating yourself up for your naivety is likely, but self-defeating. The best course is to transform your thinking to be in synch with reality without hanging onto any residual bitterness, which is a natural by-product of deep disappointment. Just repeat to yourself "Good decisions come from experience, and experience comes from bad decisions" as many times as required to get past it. |
| 11-20-2007 Tuesday | Annoying reminders are likely if there's anything in your life that isn't working anymore, whether this is an attitude, relationship, or hang-up of some sort. Talking it out is possible, but you'll probably find it annoying if the person kind enough to listen encourages you to be fair and try to see both sides. Disturbances, adjustments or changes of some sort are on the agenda, like it or not, so be prepared. If you really want to blow it all off and relax over the coming holidays, you're going to have to do some serious planning and get your responsibilities taken care of first. This will probably be a lot easier said than done, however, as your heart is not likely to be into doing much of anything. Therefore, don't load yourself up with obligations you really don't feel like taking on and keep things as simple as possible. There may be a real inclination to take out your frustrations on your significant other, but bear in mind that those kind of vibes can really escalate at family gatherings, so cut him or her as much slack as possible. |
| 11-21-2007 Wednesday | If you're dealing with relationship challenges, particularly with members of the opposite sex, there's a variety of aspects out there today that's likely to affect you in one way or another. These could include some annoying memories from your past. If you're of the female persuasion, more than likely you're going to have to make a change or two in the way you're viewing the situation as well, possibly due to something unexpected entering the picture. Anything that smells the slightest bit like a fantasy is likely to no longer work on the logical side, regardless of how good it feels on the emotional side. The fact that there is more emotion out there than logic, however, is going to weight that argument in a direction that probably won't help whatever it is you're trying to solve. With it being the day before Thanksgiving, hectic schedules and tempers than are shorter than usual are likely to be the norm anyway, but even more so with the cosmic miasma lurking in the skies above. Try to chill out as much as possible, don't worry, don't rush, and don't over-react. |
| 11-22-2007 Thursday | Happy Thanksgiving! The Sun entered Sagittarius today, which will give things a slightly different flavor than when he was in Scorpio. Today is a day that is steeped in tradition, though that doesn't always help to get through the reality of dealing with people that may get on your last nerve. The high pitched whine of certain females may get on your last nerve, and if you've been entertaining a dream or two, it may shatter like a crystal glass exposed to a soprano opera singer shrieking out an aria. If it's really what you want, however, don't be too easily discouraged. Emotions are likely to still be in turmoil, and relationship changes or surprises are likely. This doesn't mean they'll be unfavorable; indeed, they're just as likely to be to your liking. As noted before, the male-female thing today is not exactly stellar, but if you hang out with your own gender and let the other one be what they are without criticism, you'll weather it just fine. Changes in your responsibilities are possible, and it's also possible you won't be very happy about that, either. Be patient, however, and think things through, as they're likely to be beneficial later. |
| 11-23-2007 Friday | If you have some seriously weird dreams tonight, don't blame the leftover turkey. Rather, blame Mercury, Neptune and the Moon. Romantic fantasies are out there, though they could actually stimulate an annoyance or two as you realize how far they are from reality. Nonetheless, you could come up with some innovative ideas these days that, with a few adjustments, could benefit you later, particularly as they pertain to relationships. If you've been suppressing anger the last year or so, that retrograde Mars is likely to coax it to the surface. Just make sure that you deal with it in a constructive manner and not just blow up at the slightest provocation. Often we're angrier with ourselves for how we handled a past situation as opposed to the other party, anyway, especially if a lot of time has passed. If there's something to be gained by bringing up old dirt, which is very likely to be happening a lot these days with that Jupiter - Pluto conjunction, then go for it, but if it's simply to wallow in self-pity or put down someone else, you'll feel better about yourself in the long run if you leave it alone. |
| 11-24-2007 Saturday | Fantasies about the ideal relationship are likely to at least flit through your mind today, though more than likely some logical thought will quickly follow and squash it in short order. Blame it on the Full Moon if you like, but it's really not its fault. Suppressed anger, perhaps related to your family or upbringing, could be trying to surface and may take you by surprise. The other side of the coin is that maybe someone in your family has such feelings relative to you, so be prepared, especially if you know this particular shoe happens to fit. Keep it in the proper perspective, whether it's you or someone else, especially if it's something that happened a long time ago, and resolve it like an adult and not like a child. That Pluto - Jupiter conjunction is bound to be digging up all sorts of interesting considerations pertaining to your core beliefs. There may even be some things hidden in there that even you didn't know. Pay attention and be prepared to make some major renovations. |
| 11-25-2007 Sunday | There's another Grand Trine out there today but thank heavens it's an Air Trine as opposed to Water. Water trines tend to evoke raw emotion whereas Air Trines facilitate logic, though all the planets currently involved are a little on the emotional side, i.e., Venus, Neptune and the Moon. Hopefully that will mean a balanced mix of logical emotions. Changes in your level of your responsibility or perhaps how you respond to it is likely. If any of your obligations are not being met, you'll probably be hearing about it sometime soon. Your dreams or fantasies may still be messing with your head in some way, possibly by blurring the line between reality and wishful thinking. These same daydreams could have a positive effect on your romantic relationships, however, if you manage to overlook one or more of your significant other's faults or at least look at them fairly instead of critically. Remember, you can't expect perfection if you're not prepared to offer it. |
| 11-26-2007 Monday | There are several tight aspects out there today with some interesting implications. Affectionate Venus in fair Libra and dreamy Neptune in unconventional Aquarius are in a nice friendly trine, which could bring about some interesting dialogs in the relationship area. As always, this could apply to any one on one relationship, not necessarily a romantic one, but it bodes well for achieving something positive in that area. Some adjustment may be required between your heart and your head to make it happen, but the planets are helping in any way they can. One is not necessarily more important than the other and if there is one you tend to favor over the other, you might give some thought to whether, in the long run, that means for making decisions has worked out in a manner you liked. That Jupiter/Pluto conjunction continues to converge, which will bring about some deep thinking regarding your core beliefs and whether they're really in line with what life has taught you and what you want. |
| 11-27-2007 Tuesday | There are still some favorable vibes out there for meeting someone, if you're in the market. If the person seems too good to be true, however, they just might be, so don't commit to anything serious until you're seeing things a little more clearly. Dreams and illusions are made of roughly the same thing and require some serious examination in the light of day to avoid disappointment or something worse later. That Jupiter - Pluto conjunction is slowly converging and this will help you take a good, hard look at some of your values, which could help you with your selection of friends. Naturally, we can't choose our relatives, so you're stuck with them, but you can choose to allow them to have less influence in your life if you don't particularly like what you see. You may get a glimpse of this today when someone does or says something incredibly gauche. If someone in your life is driving you crazy, you need to give some serious thought to why, and depending on who it is, what your options are. |
| 11-28-2007 Wednesday | Not much has changed since yesterday, and if someone or something hasn't gotten on your last nerve yet, they probably will soon. You may be surprised at what a strong reaction you have and how deeply you dive into whatever it is that annoys you. If this person is someone with whom you do not have to associate, maybe it's time to say hasta la vista and move on. If that's not an option, then maybe it's time to figure out what is. Venus is still beckoning as far as relationships are concerned, though her collusion with Neptune might throw a bit a illusion in the mix. As such, that knight in shining armor or that damsel in distress may not be what you're hoping for, so don't invest too much money or emotion into the relationship until you've had enough time to determine if it's worth pursuing or only a dream. |
| 11-29-2007 Thursday | You may get into it today with an authority figure of some sort. This could be your boss, a professor, law enforcement personnel, or simply the big, bad bureaucracy. If you've slipped up in even the most minor way, more than likely someone is going to rub your nose in it. Don't be defensive, as that will probably only exacerbate the entire situation. Rather accept your stripes as graciously as possible and move on, or you may have even more to deal with later. If you've been examining your core beliefs and values as Jupiter and Pluto would like you to, you may find an opportunity in there in the next day or two to meet someone who fits in with what you're looking for. This isn't necessarily going to be your soul mate, but could simply be a like-minded person you meet in line at Wal-Mart who makes your day. On the other hand, if you're both single, you never know what could come of it. People have met under some pretty weird circumstances when the time is right and gone on to lead normal lives. |
| 11-30-2007 Friday | Mercury and Pluto are in a tête-à-tête that might stir up a few things from your past that could be a bit irritating. This type of thing is going to be happening for the next month and a half and is designed to make you take a long, hard look at your core beliefs, whether they're valid, and what you may need to do to get them in synch with your life, or vice versa. It's easy to profess to believe in something, yet not have your actions in harmony with them. To do so requires integrity, which seems to be in short supply these days. Today the Moon will be getting into the act as well, perhaps throwing a bit of emotional energy in that direction as well. Try looking yourself in the eye in the mirror while thinking about what you know to be right and see if you flinch. If so, you obviously have some work to do. One place to start would be your responsibilities, which may be crying out for attention as well. Funny how doing the right thing is usually the hard thing, yet consequences usually follow if we don't. Maybe it's time to consider which is easier to take in the long run. |
| 12-01-2007 Saturday | The planets are beginning to congregate in Sagittarius, which will make for some interesting vibes over the next few weeks. Venus is eyeing that Jupiter-Pluto conjunction, which is likely to drive your thoughts to past lovers. You may even get the urge to look one up again, which may not be a bad thing, especially if you're older and wiser and can understand what went wrong before. You're probably finding your responsibilities a bit of an annoyance as there are so many other things to do that are more fun, especially during the Christmas season. Either that or you're encountering restrictions (like your Christmas budget) or delays of some sort that are taking the fun out of things. Just bear in mind that if you don't control your spending now that come January when the bills come rolling in will be even less fun. |
| 12-02-2007 Sunday | That urge to contact an old lover is probably still rumbling through your mind, perhaps even stronger than before. It's going to be around for roughly a week, so give it some thought. You might encounter a few memories that are less than enchanting today in that regard, so make sure you think it through carefully before doing something rash. There's a bit of a struggle going on between your ego, your sense of rebellion and your sense of responsibility as well. Retrograde Mars is still out there stirring a few things up himself, such as suppressed anger, perhaps regarding a situation where someone else was supposed to share in a responsibility and let you down. You may be debating on whether to get nasty about it or let it go. Before you do anything you'll regret later, remember there are two sides to any story and how things look from your knothole may not be as accurate as you may think. Nonetheless, having a civilized dialog with the person in question to work things out is probably a good idea if you can draw from all that energy in Sagittarius for an extra shot of philosophical perspective. |
| 12-03-2007 Monday | Conflicts between what you want and what you can get are still stirring up some internal rebellion and thoughts that undoubtedly include a bit of anger, even though you may not be entirely sure what you're mad about. Anger is a very basic emotion but the problem is that most people don't know how to express it effectively. It's either one extreme or the other, e.g. a major explosion, or total suppression, which will fester and ferment which often causes physical illness if not properly resolved. Thus, if you're feeling frustrated and annoyed, your first task is to figure out why. The next one is to determine what you need to do about it. If it's totally out of your control, then you need to learn how to let it go. If you feel victimized for some reason, again you need to figure out why and make sure you don't set yourself up to be exploited. Bottom line, if you don't like your circumstances, no matter what they are, bundle up some of that energy and direct it in a positive way to make a few changes. |
| 12-04-2007 Tuesday | That sense of rebellion against any obligations that may be ragging on you these days is probably still dominating your thoughts, among other things. Ruminating on past relationships of the romantic kind is likely, though these could very well be helpful. Even if they were less than pleasant at the time, you might be able to extract a lesson or two that will be useful later. A lot of daydreaming or fantasizing is also likely today, possibly about the same subjects. If you're restless enough about your restrictive circumstances, you may be able to motivate yourself to do something about it. A few adjustments will undoubtedly be required to either your time or budget, but the inconvenience factor is likely to be inversely proportional to how badly you want to fix them. With the Sun and three planets hanging out in Sagittarius, there is likely to be a lot of deep thinking going on. Put it to good use. |
| 12-05-2007 Wednesday | The ladies are likely to be a bit moody today, and I don't want to hear any snide remarks from the guys on that one. All of y'all, guys included, are likely to have a flashback or two related to echoes from your past and you'll probably experience a few emotions while doing so. These won't necessarily be negative in and of themselves, but there may be some other factors that make you grumpy. You may possibly be in a "shoulda-coulda-woulda" frame of mind accompanied by a general dissatisfaction with some of the circumstances of your life, perhaps due to those obligations still pulling on your coattails. You may find this somewhat motivating, however, particularly if you do a root cause analysis on what exactly is making you unhappy about your life. If you can figure that out, then you might be able to do something about it. |
| 12-06-2007 Thursday | Our rational thoughts and sense of obligation are likely to be in a bit of an argument today with our ego and emotions. If you'll blend the two, you may be able to convert all that restlessness into a plan that will help you have you cake and eat it, too. The emotional element is strong today, and most likely focused on what you want and what it will take to get it. If you impress the right people and show you're willing to work hard, you might be surprised whom you might impress that could possibly help you get there. If something that smells like an opportunity comes your way, don't hesitate to grab it because it might not be there tomorrow. All that action in Sagittarius is heating up, including that Jupiter-Pluto conjunction, that is stirring up all sorts of action in the core beliefs and transformation department. This will undoubtedly help you figure out what you want and why. After that, all that's left is to figure out the "how." |
| 12-07-2007 Friday | There's quite a bit of conflict out there today that may not exactly be too compatible with the "season to be jolly." If you've been a bit too idealistic about someone or something, chances are you've been disappointed at an emotional level. Use it as a lesson in human nature and make sure that you don't make the same mistake again. A change or surprise could come about that might affect your responsibilities in some manner. Make sure that your solution is sound, but don't get too hung up on it being perfect. The time it would take to make it exactly right could cause more problems than a reasonable spit and baling wire approach to solve it in the most logical but expeditious manner. It will probably take some extra effort, but if you're self-motivated and focus on fixing the problem you're likely to be noticed in a very positive manner. |
| 12-08-2007 Saturday | Being self-motivated is likely to give you the edge on any career-related hassles you've encountered lately, of which there have been plenty. They could possibly even bring some financial benefits, particularly if your in a commission-based job. Communications of various kinds have been all honked up, whether it's travel plans, embarrassing email typos, or other disruptions or misunderstandings. Today that planetary convention in Sagittarius involves half of the major celestial bodies, at least the ones we care about astrologically, i.e. the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Jupiter and Pluto. This will make us all a little more philosophical than usual and perhaps a bit high and mighty as well. Thus, we'll probably be quite judgmental relative to any mistakes that go on around us and doubly so if they affect us. On the positive side, male - female communications should go well. |
| 12-09-2007 Sunday | There's a New Moon in Sagittarius today along with all that other action, which ought to stimulate some interesting thoughts which are likely to be rather philosophical and a notch or two deeper than usual. I've mentioned that Jupiter - Pluto conjunction numerous times, and this will give that a bit of a boost as well to stimulate some serious ruminating on your deepest core values. This is the annual New Moon that often motivates us to make some New Years resolutions, especially things like going back to school, planning a long trip (especially abroad), or perhaps buying a home. Making a change or two is more likely than ever, forced or otherwise, since Uranus, planet of unexpected events, surprises, and change, is throwing in his two cents worth as well. Whatever dreams you may have , now is the time to give them some serious consideration. Career upsets or changes are also likely at this time. All in all, this is probably the opening for some interesting days ahead. If today's your birthday you'll have an interesting year ahead. |
| 12-10-2007 Monday | There's a strong spirit of cooperation today between the guys and gals, so if there's anything you want to accomplish with someone of the opposite sex, today is a good one to get to it. It also bodes well for putting forth some initiative to get something done that could reap some financial rewards. The Moon is about to leave that convention in Sagittarius, but those remaining will have quite an influence for the next few weeks. See your sign-specific horoscopes for this month for more details. There could be some more surprises or unexpected events the next day or so that are likely to affect you personally. They could involve your boss or an authority figure of some sort, so make sure you're on good behavior. Be especially careful to drive carefully and obey speed limits and so forth. |
| 12-11-2007 Tuesday | You may get a glimpse of one of your dreams today or a flash of inspiration. If you've been longing for something more satisfying to do at work, you're likely to find it today if you look hard enough. It may not be permanent, but at least it will break the monotony, if that's been a problem of late. That Mars - Venus trine is still in effect, which is making for some nice male - female relations these days, particularly if there is something to need to plan or do together. Other possibilities include making some progress on a project of your own. Surprises and disruptions are still out there and work is likely to continue to be hectic and full of annoyances. Continue to respect those authority figures or whatever it is you're trying to accomplish may come to naught. |
| 12-12-2007 Wednesday | The male-female thing continues to be favorable, though if you're working on a joint project of some sort, a disruption or delay of some sort is possible. Getting in touch with your spiritual side or some inspiration is likely today. Take a few quiet moments to ponder the season and the good things around you and you're likely to stumble on something you hadn't considered before. Surprising news may come your way or possibly simply a problem related to communications. This could be something in writing, related to email such as server problems, a conversation where you just can't seem to get on the same page, or instructions that don't make any sense. Transportation could be involved as well, so be careful driving. The crazies are out there in record numbers these days so pay attention and don't take anything for granted. |
| 12-13-2007 Thursday | You may learn something new about yourself today that originates in your emotions and leads you to an entirely new concept regarding what you'd like to do for a living. This will evolve from an insight of some description that could have been triggered by a surprise event or unexpected news of some type. You never know where your thoughts may lead you or where the initial spark may come from, so keep your eyes and ears open. The financial picture for this new endeavor may not look too promising, but that might only be because you haven't examined the entire picture yet in sufficient detail. Discipline yourself enough to do some serious research, ask around, and reserve judgment until you have sufficient facts to make a sound decision. |
| 12-14-2007 Friday | Connecting with your dreams at a mental and emotional level is favored again today. Sometimes a dream is no more than a feeling and doesn't necessarily have a picture to go along with it. Putting all the pieces together can often help us know where we need to go. Considering that there have been some strong vibes lately encouraging us to reexamine our values, it makes sense that this will ultimately lead us to our core being and what really makes us tick. Upon discovering that, often many other things fall into place as well. Changes beyond our control could cause some disruptions on the job, possibly because someone wasn't duly careful in doing their part. Hopefully, it wasn't you. Favorable changes of a financial nature are possible, however, and the probability could be increased if you manage to straighten out anything that's amiss, whether or not its your fault. |
| 12-15-2007 Saturday | Being self-motivated could be the key to some positive career changes in the next day or so. Your heart and your head may have an argument or two deciding on whether or not that's the direction you want to go, however, which will probably mean that you need to make a list of pros and cons to help you decide. The party in Sagittarius is still in session, which is probably motivating some deep and probing thoughts. You may have come to some profound conclusions lately about what your core beliefs are and where you want to go with your life. This is all well and good, but that does not guarantee that now is the time and place. If another opportunity is knocking on your door but it's not exactly what you want, think long and hard about turning it down because it could well be the link to what you really want somewhere down the road. |
| 12-16-2007 Sunday | Uh-oh, today looks like a rather hormonal day for those of the female persuasion. Before those of the opposite sex go running full-speed in the opposite direction, however, in search of a football game and a beer, bear in mind that not all female moods are bad. With affectionate Venus over there in sultry Scorpio, your gal might actually be in a better mood than you may think, provided you treat her correctly. In other words, she is likely to respond very favorably to some pampering for which you'll be duly rewarded. If you're more interested in money than romance, today is also a good day to put your finances in order, perhaps in an innovative way. I'd say it's probably a good day to ask someone, especially your mother, for a loan, but since I have kids making me a mother, I think I'll let that one pass in the interests of my own finances, especially so close to Christmas. |
| 12-17-2007 Monday | The Moon is going to be messing with that foursome in Sagittarius today, throwing a variable wave of emotion across the landscape that will probably be hard to miss. This is likely to manifest itself as a conflict between your heart and head; communications that are more saturated in feelings than usual; sudden memory flashes from your distant past; and perhaps even some beliefs that are pretty over-inflated. That deep introspection activity is still there, I just figured you got tired of hearing about it, and the Sun and Mercury are closing into the same astrological territory over the next few days which will really kick all that core belief stuff into over-drive. This could inspire such things as a complete change in your political ideologies, religion, or, if you're a college student, a switch in your major from, say, nuclear engineering to mythology or something equally diametrically opposed to where you thought you were headed. It should definitely be an interesting day. |
| 12-18-2007 Tuesday | Venus and the Moon are up to something today and whatever it is, it's likely to necessitate an adjustment of some sort, whether it involves your lovelife and fondest fantasies, or something of which you're possibly equally fond, i.e. your bank account. One thing that might be in short supply through all this is reality, so don't do anything too dramatic without some hard evidence that it's the right move. Retrograde Mars is also sneaking into range with that clutch of planets that includes the Sun over there in Sagittarius. It's probably a good thing he's doing the backstroke in Cancer, a sign where his fire is somewhat dim, or that could bring about some serious fireworks. As it is, suppressed anger could really start to rumble around in your gut about something, perhaps something from your past that's decided to haunt you for some reason, though it could also be relatively impersonal, such as related to politics and some of the characters on parade in that arena these days. |
| 12-19-2007 Wednesday | That energetic Aries Moon is making a nice trine to Jupiter, who's just slipped into Capricorn, and the Sun, Mercury and Pluto still hanging out in Sagittarius. This will give a nice, emotional boost to all that core belief business I've been talking about for days. Consider that our core beliefs drive us considerably, even when we aren't consciously aware of it. For example, there may be something you really don't like about your life, yet you don't know what you need to do to fix it. More than likely the "fix" doesn't lie in a new job, moving, or a new relationship, but in changing something inside you that drives your actions in a subtle but powerful way. Mars is moving into opposition range with those same four heavenly bodies and may give you the proverbial kick in the butt you need to actually do something about it. Any changes are going to require some self-motivation, and this might be all that it takes. |
| 12-20-2007 Thursday | It's another one of those days where there's a lot going on that will undoubtedly touch just about every area of your life in one way or another. Mars has positioned himself in opposition to the Sun, which will provide some internalized energy that hopefully translates to self-motivation; to Pluto, who's cozied up to the Sun, and could make you more aware than usual of your personal power, which you may be tempted to exploit; to Mercury, which will make your communications of all varieties feistier than usual; to Jupiter, who's in cahoots with Mercury, which could make you a bit of a buffoon. And that's the least of it. Your romantic or financial fantasies are probably in conflict with reality today, which is probably somewhat upsetting, especially since get-rich-quick schemes are probably a dime a dozen. As fast as you come up with one, however, more than likely stuffy Saturn is going to hit you upside the head and tell you why it won't work. The Moon may step in and comfort you, however, with the thought that at least you were intelligent enough to recognize it was a pipe dream before getting in too deep. Thanks the heavens for small favors. |
| 12-21-2007 Friday | Retrograde Mars still has that quadruple conjunction between the Sun, Mercury, Jupiter and Pluto in his sites, which is going to continue for a few more days. As if that quartet over there singing "Isn't it Time You Straightened Out Your Life?" isn't enough in and of itself, Mars is now giving it the astrological equivalent of a double shot of expresso. The Moon may throw some odd memories from your past in the mix as well. Romantic and financial fantasies are still going at it and stuffy Saturn is still trying to hold you tightly to the Earth. Quite a mixed bag to say the least, that will probably make for an interesting day. Completely reworking your belief system and adopting a more practical approach is likely and Mars is likely to give you a good swift kick to git 'r' dun, though there will undoubtedly be some resistance as well. In the world at large, people are probably disgusted with the powers that be and ready for a change as well. It will be interesting to say the least of how this will play out. |
| 12-22-2007 Saturday | If the transits were the only thing you had going for you today, I'd tell you to not bother getting out of bed. Mars is still giving four of his solar system compadres the evil eye, which is likely to continue to stir up some interesting thoughts. Finances and dreams are probably not exactly in synch, either, with being delusional quite possible. In other words, if you max out all your credit cards Christmas shopping, don't count on winning the lotto to bail you out in January. After all, only so many people can win, and that's part of my plan and I don't feel much like sharing. Relationship disappointments are another possibility with your significant other acting like a part of the anatomy that will remain nameless in this family website. Wanting to restructure some or all of your life is likely to sound like a good idea as well. Like I said earlier, probably a good day to chill out and not expect much other than this too shall pass. |
| 12-23-2007 Sunday | Today the Moon joins with Mars, staring down those planets across the Zodiac, throwing a bit of emotion behind it all. We usually think of emotion as something that relates to other people and while that's true, it also applies to various other things in our lives, such as our job, home, belongings, past, and so forth. If some changes are needed in your career, either in where you're headed or existing processes, now is as good of time as any to figure out how to communicate them to your boss. You've probably been feeling kind of dreamy lately, which isn't too surprising this time of year, but this could cause a problem or two with either a relationship or your finances if you get too carried away and ignore reality. Watch out for unrealistic expectations regarding what you think you deserve or you'll set yourself up for disappointment. |
| 12-24-2007 Monday | If a past lover has wandered through your dreams lately, it's probably due to that Venus - Neptune square. Both of those planets have multiple venues and that's just one of many ways it could show up. Another possibility is financial delusions in the Scarlett O'Hara tradition of "Tomorrow is another day." This could manifest through excessive credit card utilization over the holidays without keeping track of how much you're spending, then having a nervous breakdown come January when you get the bill. Getting in touch with your career mentally is likely, though changes or disruptions are possible. You should be able to focus on it fairly well, however, and show your stuff straightening things out as required. Mars is still stirring things up in your personal life. The planets can't plant anything that's not already there. All they can do is call attention to certain areas of your life that need attention. If everything is hunky-dorey in a planet's venue, you'll be largely immune to its effects. Otherwise, they're like a friend who doesn't pull any punches, whether you want to hear it or not. Listening is usually a good idea. |
| 12-25-2007 Tuesday | With Mars out there staring down the Sun, Mercury, Jupiter and Pluto, it certainly doesn't give the impression that "all is still; all is bright." Nonetheless, today is a special day for a variety of reasons and you need to put whatever restlessness may be messing with your head aside and enjoy the day. There will be a variety of memories surfacing today of Christmas Past and Christmas Future. Cherish the past for what it was, then look forward with optimism. Creativity is high these days, and so is the desire and ability to work hard to achieve your goals. If your life is not everything you'd like it to be, do the math and figure out what you need to do to get it there. Money is nice, but most likely not the answer, at least not directly. Look past it to the things that really matter. If you don't find joy being with the people around you, then you're probably with the wrong people. Think about it, then do what you have to in 2008 so that next year at this time you're closer to where you ultimately want to be. If anyone gives you any crap, just tell them that Whobeda told you so. Merry Christmas. |
| 12-26-2007 Wednesday | The year is winding down and the holidays are almost over, so it's time to think about the New Year and the big "R" word. Now is a good time to give yourself some credit while you look back on what you accomplished in 2007. If you feel as if you're stuck in the mud, there is no time like the last week of the year to put together some goals for the next one. If you're on the right track, all well and good, but if you feel as if you have some work to do, the self-motivation is out there as well as some impetus to make whatever changes are required to get headed in the right direction. That Cappy Sun is good for goal setting with retrograde Mars throwing some self-motivation in the mix. If there's an underlying tone of anger, use it to your advantage and make up your mind to do better. Change is seldom easy but if you're not entirely satisfied with where you are, you don't have much choice. Either put up or shut up. |
| 12-27-2007 Thursday | Reflections on the past could be motivating today, along with some good ideas related to making yourself look good in one way or another. The holiday pressure is largely gone, other than what you're doing (or wearing) for New Years Eve, so now is a good time to do some thinking about yourself, what your dreams are, what's in your heart, and what you want to do better in 2008. As they say, "If you wonder where you heart is, look where you mind wanders when it has no place else to go." We're the sum-total of our experience, which the planets are trying to explain to us in no uncertain terms. Life is a journey and all about learning and getting better, day by day. Sometimes we can see our progress and sometimes we can't. But we're never standing still; we're either moving forward or backwards. On the threshold of a new year, we should be moving forward. Use whatever quiet time you can find today to let you heart wander, then listen carefully. |
| 12-28-2007 Friday | Mars is still messing with that pair in Capricorn, i.e. the Sun and Jupiter as well as Pluto, who's still hanging out in Sagittarius, which is probably digging up all sorts of past feelings, including a flash or two of suppressed anger leaking out. Pluto is also probably digging up some old memories of past loves, which could be a bit annoying in one way or another. On the positive side, however, the Moon and Saturn are putting in some positive vibes in that same direction, which should help give you the incentive you need to do something about it, even if it simply means getting over it and moving on. Change is probably called for and there may be some opportunity to do just that today. Keep your eyes and ears open for an opportunity that might help you head in a slightly different direction in 2008. |
| 12-29-2007 Saturday | The good news is that you'll be willing to put in some hard work and ambition toward something you want, or at least you'll know that's what you need to do, though you may also experience a resistance to any necessary change. Adjustments to your dreams, which have probably not always been entirely realistic, is problem required if you want to forego disappointment. If your finances aren't everything you'd like them to be, take a look at the big picture and figure out why. You may have someone else to blame it on, or so you think, but if that's the case you need to figure out why you allowed someone else to do so in the first place, short of identity theft or a loser ex who trashed your credit. The new year is only a few days away, so take advantage of all that practicality in Capricorn to put together a concrete plan to do better next year. |
| 12-30-2007 Sunday | Keep you eyes and ears open for a surprise opportunity today. The tug-o-war continues between making any necessary changes that could make your life more enjoyable versus your responsibilities a.k.a. your day job. The first thing you need to do is identify where you want to go, and there's no better time of year to do so than now. Someone could make a real nuisance of themselves today, possibly someone from your past from whom you'd like to buy back your introduction. The encounter could dig up some suppressed anger and indignation, but if you utilize that Libra Moon to factor in some genuine fairness and handle it correctly, you may be able to resolve a few things once and for all. Be prepared to make a few adjustments in your point of view, knowing that in the long run you'll probably wind up with one less piece of baggage to tote around. Not a bad way to start a new year, don't you think? |
| 12-31-2007 Monday | That Mars - Pluto opposition, which will be in effect until mid to late January, is likely to stir up a power trip or two that might be slightly less than enchanting. This will predispose us to be more forceful than usual in expressing our opinions and more impatient with those who don't agree. On the positive side, things are looking good for some conservative self-promotion that could improve your image in one way or another. Just don't over-do it, which could turn people off, but rather maintain your humility without being a dork about it. The emotional landscape is likely to see a duel or two today between your head and heart. Bear in mind that your reactions will probably be more emotionally charged than usual to any news or other information that might come your way. Maintain your objectivity the best you can which means being willing to listen with an open mind and heart, at least if you want to resolve it once and for all. |

| 01-01-2008 Tuesday | Happy New Year and may 2008 bring many good things your way. No matter how bad your transits may be and how challenging life may become, the Zodiac is the ultimate example of "what goes around, comes around" and that events continually cycle. Neither extremely good times nor bad last forever. Right now that Mars - Pluto opposition could mean some bad times for some folks, particularly Taurus, Scorpio, Capricorn and Cancer, who are being hit in the possessions or health houses. Everyone should keep an eye out, however, meaning you should be careful and don't take any unnecessary chances. Be on the lookout for other annoyances, such has unexpected expenses that you may have forgotten or encountering totally inaccurate information. If today is a holiday for you, feel free to blow it all off and relax, then brace yourself for another new year. |
| 01-02-2008 Wednesday | Those annoyances noted yesterday are still out there, i.e. the potential for an unhappy financial surprise and high likelihood for inaccurate information that causes a problem or two. If you've been more irritable than usual lately you can blame retrograde Mars, whose current task is to stir up suppressed anger you've been toting around for a while. See your January horoscope for the specific area it's targeting on you. Saturn is retrograde out there as well, having made the switch right before Christmas, and is busily kneading away on something you need to be working on, probably your checkbook and budgeting habits. The Moon is in Scorpio today, which is more likely to motivate you to apply for a loan or another credit card, especially one of those that's interest free for balance transfers, rather than tighten your belt. Saturn and that Capricorn Sun are putting up a pretty good fight, however, trying to make us all more responsible. |
| 01-03-2008 Thursday | Don't pay too much attention to your emotions today as they're probably not based on anything substantial. Whatever you do, don't use them as the basis for a big decision because you're likely to feel entirely different tomorrow. If you've encountered an increase in responsibility lately, especially if it requires you to work longer hours, you can bet that's going to go over like the proverbial lead balloon with your significant other. Saturn and the Capricorn Sun are still working on us to take our obligations more seriously. If you're already a workaholic, you probably won't notice. If your an avowed slacker, it will probably take an extra beer or two to squelch the guilt. Don't forget to be careful while that Mars - Pluto opposition continues. It's never good when those two bad actors get together, so stay alert and don't do anything careless or it will surely bite you. |
| 01-04-2008 Friday | There may be an opportunity or surprise of some sort today that will be to your benefit. Look beyond the obvious and pay attention to what you find. Mars and Pluto are still facing out and generally putting us all in a rather unpleasant mood, considering we're just coming out of the holidays. That suppressed anger keeps leaking out and I imagine you're doing some thinking about what to do about it. Go ahead and vent, preferably to a neutral party, so whatever action you take isn't too emotional. If you've truly been wronged, there will be an appropriate way to handle it without acting like either a martyr or a jerk. It's time to start getting your finances in order for the tax man and Saturn and Venus are actually being helpful in this regard. We all say we'll do better with our recordkeeping next year. Well, guess what? It's next year. |
| 01-05-2008 Saturday | An increase in your level of responsibility, such as in a promotion or raise, is probably on your mind. There are pros and cons, of course, and with Saturn retrograde it's likely that your subconscious is ruminating on just that. If it's motivated strictly by finances, be sure to give it a lot of thought whether the extra time and stress will be worth it versus another solution. You head and heart are likely to be a bit at odds with each other today, which won't help the matter. Rebellion against the status quo or wanting change for the sake of change is likely around lunch time. Blame that one on the Moon, which fortunately moves on its way quickly. Don't forget that Mars - Pluto opposition, which is still out there presenting a challenge or hazard of some sort, depending on your sign. See your monthly horoscope for more details. |
| 01-06-2008 Sunday | As if Mars isn't causing enough trouble these days while he's in cahoots with Pluto, today the Moon is passing through that general territory as well. Mars is also retrograde, which tends to stir up suppressed anger. Combine this with the Moon, which controls our emotions, and Pluto in the mix as well, who does forensic analyses on our past among other things, and you're likely to have an interesting day. Random thoughts or feelings will probably come seemingly from no where and take you on an emotional roller coaster ride of some degree or another. We're almost a week into the new year. How are those New Years resolutions coming along? The Sun is in favorable aspect with Uranus, planet of change, today, which will be a little extra help in making some positive, personal change. Take advantage of it while it lasts. |
