| 1-01-2018 | Today is not only the first day of our (pathetic) calendar year, we also have a Full Moon and tomorrow Uranus stations direct, approximately 12 hours after the lunation. That's quite a kick-start to 2018. As you probably know since I've said it numerous times, a Full Moon typically indicates an ending, culmination, or shift to a new phase, which is apropos. Uranus is always unpredictable by nature, but more so when retrograde, so the unexpected events to come may be a little easier to see coming. This lunation brings a Grand Water Trine, which implies an emotional impact, which may relate back to something that changes you in some way. See your monthly horoscopes for more sign-specific information regarding its influence. |
| 1-02-2018 | Uranus stations direct today, which may make him slightly less erratic. His more positive attributes are creativity, innovation, a propensity for technology, freedom, and individuality. Having an original product or approaching an old niche or problem in a new way often pays off quite nicely. If previous approaches haven't panned out as expected, put on your thinking cap and see how you can put a fresh spin on things, then try, try again. |
| 1-03-2018 | This is a rather pleasant looking day in that there are not intimidating squares or oppositions out there. Opportunities are still in the air, with practical ideas related to love and money possible, even if it only takes you to a good after-Christmas sale. Taking control and pursuing your fondest dreams is still favored with a possibility for unexpected news that should be of the good variety. |
| 1-04-2018 | Opportunities continue to present themselves and this looks like a day to take action on them. Remember that windows of opportunity do close eventually, so if it's been something you've been waiting and/or hoping for, don't delay. While news of such may come out of the blue, be prepared to act, even if it's a challenge to do so. In other words, you may have to virtually drop everything to do so, but you may hate yourself in the morning if you don't and the chance evaporates, which it might. |
| 1-05-2018 | Opportunities today are even stronger, so pay attention. Jupiter and Mars are conjunct, providing extra energy to go after what you want with a passion. Taking control of your destiny is favored as well as calling in any favors from people who can help you with those big goals you can't accomplish alone. Inspiration with regard to love and/or money is out there as well, if you need some resources to work with. Don't let practicality or lack of confidence keep you from your dreams. Unexpected news is likely to be the catalyst so listen up! |
| 1-06-2018 | Opportunities are still out there, but of a slightly different variety as the Virgo Moon sweep past, giving them a critical eye. Mars and Jupiter are still conjunct, providing a whole bunch of hard-driving energy, while the Sun and Venus are likewise conjunct, providing a possible change that relates to love and money. Unexpected news or information is still possible, which could bring a hectic pace or an interruption. Make sure you see it for what it is, i.e. a possible chance at a good thing, however, before simply dismissing it as a nuisance interruption. |
| 1-07-2018 | Opportunities are persisting, which is always nice, and with two conjunctions driving them home, they should be good ones that you need to make sure you grab and run with. Unexpected news and/or information is still possible, too, so it's nice to see the new year getting off to a positive start. The only thing I see that could be a bit of a downer might be some contention with regard to fairness, i.e. if you get a break someone else thinks should have been theirs, they may pull rank on you, if possible. Be prepared to defend your position, which shouldn't be too difficult with Mars and Jupiter in Scorpio. |
| 1-08-2018 | Opportunities are still there, but the Moon suggests there may be some resistance to pursuing them from the various people in your life. This may be the time when you can actually identify the naysayers in your life, especially those who may have a passive-aggressive approach that's harder to identify. If someone is trying to stop you from doing what you want, that is always a big caution flag with regard to what their motives are. Uncovering their true thoughts toward you are thus possible at this time, though you may not like what you discover. |
| 1-09-2018 | Venus and the Sun are in the same degree, Pluto only a degree behind, with the first two moving into range of a square with Uranus, which brings that surprise elements back with a one-two punch. There's still a slight possibility of a pleasant surprise, but that's just about over. Amazingly, opportunities are still out there as this new year gets kicked off, hopefully making it better than last year, which in some cases, wouldn't take much. If you haven't made your list of goals for the year yet, I recommend you get on it because if you don't know what you want to accomplish this year, you might miss any opportunities out there vying for your attention. |
| 1-10-2018 | Venus and the Sun are still conjunct along with Pluto, plus Saturn and Mercury are cozied up as well, all in Capricorn, providing that sign with a boatload of energy right now. Mars and Jupiter are still hanging out together in Scorpio with the Moon stopping by today, which is likely to trigger off those opportunities, if you haven't seen any yet. Surprises related to love or money could bring a change of direction, but not necessarily a bad thing. |
| 1-11-2018 | Those opportunities are in the process of "slip-sliding away." Furthermore the obstacles are increasing, probably coming at you right and left, whether from people in your life, corporations, or, heaven forbid, the government. Breaking away from such is undoubtedly blocked, but all is not yet lost. Communicating with them, given the chance you have an actual argument that will hold water, is favored with Mercury conjunct Saturn. A philosophically oriented Sagittarius Moon may be helpful, too. Disappointments are possible, but getting past them is, too. |
| 1-12-2018 | Those opportunities are going...going...almost gone, with unexpected obstacles still appearing, whether related to love or money. Conversations regarding responsibility and planning are still favored, however, which may pave the way to work them out. Sometimes the hardest thing to decide is what you really want. Then there's always the matter of what you're willing to put aside to get it, which may be the reason your subconscious mind is blocking it in the first place and the ultimate reason you can't obtain it. |
| 1-13-2018 | Those opportunities are going...going...almost gone, with unexpected obstacles still appearing, whether related to love or money. Conversations regarding responsibility and planning are still favored, however, which may pave the way to work them out. Sometimes the hardest thing to decide is what you really want. Then there's always the matter of what you're willing to put aside to get it, which may be the reason your subconscious mind is blocking it in the first place and the ultimate reason you can't obtain it. |
| 1-14-2018 | It's getting a bit more serious out there today as Mars moves into quincunx range with Uranus, which suggests sudden adjustments or changes of course, perhaps related to one of your ambitions or possibly as something from the past comes back to bite you. Another option is you get pulled into the clutches of a power trip. Conflicts and the unexpected are definitely possibilities, so be sure to factor that in to any activities your have scheduled for the day. |
| 1-15-2018 | Capricorn is loaded these days, which will culminate tomorrow with the New Moon. Today, there's a good chance to grab some inspiration related to your career ambitions or other status aspirations. Changing course is still likely, probably as the result of an opportunity, even though going after it isn't likely to be simple. That's okay, because those things that are truly worth it require some effort to accomplish. |
| 1-16-2018 | New Moon today in Capricorn, as described in this month's horoscopes. There's a boatload of Cappy energy behind it which is likely to be delivered unexpectedly and bring about a few course changes. Opportunities to take care of some old unresolved issues or other baggage are out there as well. Capricorn is ambitious and loved financial security, and this lunation emphasizes that, one way or another. If you've been a spendthrift, you may not like how this manifests. |
| 1-17-2018 | An annoyance or two related to responsibility is possible today as well as continued energy associated with the New Moon. If you haven't gotten your New Years Resolutions together yet, now is the time when you have plenty of cosmic help to get organized and make the necessary plans. A few surprises are still possible as well as some blasts from the past, though these are likely to bring an opportunity, perhaps to call in a favor or renew an old connection. |
| 1-18-2018 | Mercury and Neptune are moving into a sextile, an aspect that typically brings an opportunity. A positive integration of these two energies suggests inspirational ideas you'll be able to manifest in some way. This could come through someone from your past, who might be the connection you need to make it so. Venus has gone into Aquarius, where she's a bit friendlier than she was in cool, objective Capricorn. Adjustments and course changes are still likely for anything you're trying to pursue, so maintain as much patience and persistence as possible. |
| 1-19-2018 | Mercury and Neptune are still cooperating, so using your imagination in a logical way is still favored. A change of direction made with a passion is still in the cosmic cards as well, a great aspect for really going after those New Years resolution with determination. Expanding upon what you want and taking control of your quality of life are still getting some help as well. These have all been quite nice this time of year, so take advantage of them. You can't take good transits for granted, they can turn on you rather quickly. |
| 1-20-2018 | The Sun is now in Aquarius along with Venus, brightening their energy a bit from stuffy Capricorn (which I can say with authority, since I'm a Cappy.) Pluto, Mercury, and Saturn remain there, however, so communications remain dry and ambitions serious. It seems as if Jupiter and Pluto are stuck in that sextile, which isn't a bad thing since it suggests past connections could yield opportunities, with getting in touch with old friends and associates favored, even if it takes some effort to hunt them down. Accomplishing anything of note entirely by yourself ain't gonna happen, so if someone from another lifetime or phase keeps coming to mind, there's probably a reason. |
| 1-21-2018 | The Moon is bringing some good vibes today. She's the one who rules function, so you may see some things finally happen you've been waiting for. These may come along as clouds with a silver lining, so be patient with any upsets and figure out how you can turn them to your advantage. Your imagination is still feeding your thoughts, so take advantage of that, too, especially if you have any creative endeavors in-work. A sudden change of direction is still possible, so accept it for what it is, whether or not the timing is to your liking. |
| 1-22-2018 | It's relatively quiet out there, though throughout the day the Moon will be kicking off a few things that could get your goat, somewhat literally, based on those planets over in Capricorn. This is a good day to lay low and avoid irritating your boss or anyone else in a position of power. Meeting up with friends is favored and connections with someone from your past are still active and insinuating opportunities. |
| 1-23-2018 | Your boss or some other authority figure may get your goat today, but there could be something in it for you. Try to see things from his or her knothole and determine what you may be able to do to reap some benefit from it. Confronting old unresolved issues may be forced upon you, but that simply may be because the time is right to deal with them, perhaps by talking them out or taking a more expansive view of the situation by identifying the lesson, remembering anything positive that came out of it, and moving on. |
| 1-24-2018 | Mercury and Pluto are conjunct today, suggesting deep, penetrating thoughts that could relate to the past, power trips, control issues, or unresolved baggage. It's likely these thoughts will be a bit inflated, which could bring about an intense emotional reaction. This could be triggered by an annoyance or friction between you and someone older or in a position of authority. With that Taurus moon, neither of you is likely to budge on your position and if you aren't the person in authority, you probably aren't going to like the result. |
| 1-25-2018 | The Moon is stirring up some action today so anything you may have been waiting on may start to move. Unexpected news or information is likely over the next several days which could be exaggerated, so check the facts. Mars is poised to leave Scorpio for Sagittarius with his position at the last degree of a fixed sign implying it could be now or never to move on something you want desperately. Thus, if an opportunity presents itself, don't take too long to act on it or it may go away. |
| 1-26-2018 | Getting started on something new may encounter some opposition today, but is likely to be of short duration. Unexpected news or information which has been previously hidden or unavailable is still a possibility, but therein lies a chance at something you will probably like, even if it initially causes a bit of a jolt. If there's something you're passionate about, watch for an opportunity to expand in that area. Logic may clash with your point of view, but shoot for a happy medium. (No, I don't mean a smiling psychic.) |
| 1-27-2018 | We're still dealing with disruptive and unexpected news or information these days, so plan your day accordingly. Be particularly aware of possible inaccuracies with regard to love and/or money, which will bring annoyances and friction. Connecting with something or someone from your past is still possible as well, perhaps an old aspiration of some sort you'd given up on. Mars is now in Sagittarius where he'll be inclined to be confrontational about those traditionally verboten subject of politics and religion, as if we don't already have enough of that going on. |
| 1-28-2018 | Not much has changed since yesterday, other than the fact the Moon is ready to go into Cancer, which brings some water sign emotional vibes to bear. Opportunities related to the past are still out there, but starting to fade, so pay attention and don't miss out. Unexpected news or data is still a possibility for another day or so, so keep your schedule somewhat open to allow for disruptions. These could constitute information from your bank, government, and so forth. Make sure any tax forms coming your way are accurate. |
| 1-29-2018 |
The Moon continues to stir up some action today as she sweeps past the planets and triggers their influence. Today may see a change of direction regarding love and/or money. It could be a positive change, or perhaps a mix of new opportunities to deal with an old problem. The potential for unpleasant news should fade out in another day or so, which won't hurt anyone's feelings. Mars is unaspected in Sagittarius which leave him free to do whatever he wants, like continue to pick a fight relative to politics or religion. If you find yourself more stirred up than usual in those areas, Mars is probably to blame. Try to keep it philosophical, at least. |
| 1-30-2018 | The Moon is just about done for a while, though she'll be giving Mars an extra kick shortly as she goes into Leo. Unearthing old projects you set aside is favored as times have changed and may be improved. Some are too soon for their time and others are a day late and a dollar short. I've done both. LOL. Taking control of what you want and not expecting it to be handed to you is a great start. |
| 1-31-2018 | There is a Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse today, which gives it stronger influence than the typical garden-variety Full Moon. There has been some real head-scratching related to this one, since people are hearing that it is a "Blue Moon" as well as a "Super Moon" and a "Blood Moon." How many kinds of Moon can it be? Let me explain, because it really is logical, sorta. A "Blue Moon" is when you have the second Full Moon in a given month, which this is. A "Super Moon" means it will appear slightly larger than usual because its orbit is closer. And a "Blood Moon" is the designation given to the Moon when it is a total lunar eclipse, because it turns a reddish-orange color. Mystery solved? See you sign's monthly horoscope for how it may affect you astrologically. |
| 2-01-2018 | Expect a few irritations and annoyances today, probably due to unclear communications, possible old baggage, butting heads with someone in authority, exposure of something you don't like related to love and/or money, and perhaps overreacting, simply because it gets on your last nerve. The relatively good news is that Pluto and Uranus aren't in a square anymore. The bad news is that when a planet is unaspected, it can misbehave as much as it likes. So surprises, disruptions, disturbances, and unexpected events are still out there, they're just less likely to relate to the past, power, or control issues, which may or may not be a good thing. |
| 2-02-2018 | The annoyances are still out there and the same as noted yesterday. There are some opportunities to take action on an idea, however, perhaps one you've wanted to pursue for a long time. There will be a variety of things you need to overcome to get there, but if you persist, it will be worth it. Make sure you are realistic with your plans and expectations, or they'll cause disappointment later. |
| 2-03-2018 | The annoyances persist, but if you're butting heads with your boss or an authority of some description over something you want to do, there are opportunities out there, they just might take some extra work. Figure out if there's someone out there who could mediate for you, such as a coworker or friend or someone relevant who owes you a favor. Annoyances related to love or money are still out there, but possibly blown out of proportion to what they're really worth. If your discussion noted earlier also relate to the love or money situation, keep at it because much of what's happening could be a cloud with a silver lining. |
| 2-04-2018 | The Moon is kicking off some action today, which could require some adjustments, though exactly what they should be may be unclear. Opportunities to take action on some of your ideas by discussing them with a friend are out there, but could hit some snags, perhaps responsibilities you need to take care of first. Various challenges are out there with regard to expanding any plans relating to love or money, particularly those that relate to the past in some way. |
| 2-05-2018 | The Moon could trigger some surprises or unexpected events that will involve love or money and will probably relate to the past in some way. This could stir things up quite a bit, yet there are opportunities there to get a few things straight either with regard to your understanding or ideas how to work things out. It is a bit of a mixed bag out there, so even if something annoying or difficult comes your way, it looks as if you'll be able to navigate through it with a bit of effort, so hang in there. |
| 2-06-2018 | If there's something you really, really want in a big way, watch for an opportunity to pursue it today that could hail from the past. Taking action will probably be thwarted in various way, perhaps due to any approvals needed or other issues, perhaps even structuring the idea enough to make sense to others, even though it already makes sense to you. Convincing other to get onboard won't be easy, and the more passionate and emotional you get, the harder it's likely to be; people don't like pressure, especially if it involves their wallet in some way. Take a unique, friendly approach and you're more likely to succeed. |
| 2-07-2018 | The Moon is still stirring things up a bit, but some of them are good, such as connecting with an opportunity related to someone or something from your past that means a lot to you. A friend may provide a few irritations, or even worse, inaccurate information, but your best bet is to not get your panties in a wad. Assess the friendship and whether or not it's worth it to get into a row. Surprise opportunities related to love or money are out there as well. Challenges courtesy of Ms. La Luna include conflicts regarding what you want versus others, who may get in your way or object to what you want to do. Same advice applies as what I said above. |
| 2-08-2018 | Taking action on your beliefs may be clouded with idealism or misunderstanding, so bear that in mind before getting in too deep. Annoyances related to others' power trips and/or ignorance are out there, but there are still opportunities as well. These have been out there for a few days and still relate to love and money as well as taking control enough to go after something you're passionate about. |
| 2-09-2018 | Challenges, an opportunity, and a possible irritation from the past are all out there today, which should make things interesting. If you're starting something new, make sure you have a clear picture of where you're going, how, and why, which might be difficult since confusion is a possibility today. Aspects like this are also a reminder to pay attention when you drive and keep your mind on the task at hand. Today is a good day for doing some thinking about your beliefs and expectations, but not when you're behind the wheel. |
| 2-10-2018 | Examining what you've always wanted through the eyes of experience is still favored. In other words, confronting anything you have messed up deserves to be recognized, analyzed, and incorporated into your psyche. Remember, no life is ever wasted, you can always serve as a bad example. Furthermore, if you keep on doing what you've always done, you'll keep on getting what you've always got. Capisce? |
| 2-11-2018 | There's a little more tension out there today that will be reflected in group interactions and communications. Spontaneous and unexpected opportunities are out there, but you may not recognize them for what they are, either because you're impatient or unable to see the benefits lurking around the corner. Lessons from the past are still vying for your attention, if you haven't dealt with them yet. Which might be exactly what's holding you back. |
| 2-12-2018 | The tension is still out there with additional friction coming at you related to past mistakes. Thinking about what meant a lot to you in the past needs to be revisited, especially if you ignored it or set it aside for one reason or another. The people around you as well as information may not be very encouraging, but now is the time to think outside the box as you watch diligently for opportunities. Patience and clear thinking are still recommended. |
| 2-13-2018 | Unexpected opportunities could still come your way, but you need to be paying attention to see them. Otherwise, you may move on something that is just an illusion. Ideas need to be realistic and not outside the realm of possibility, even if this only relates to the timeline you expect. Goals or ambitions from the past may still have potential, but times have changed and will need a whole new strategic plan. |
| 2-14-2018 | Opportunities are out there, but so are some obstacles. These might be the kind that love or money can bring down, but doing so won't be easy. Being responsible is highlighted, as well as owning up to what you should do, but the solution may not be that clear. Innovative ideas are favored, which is exactly what it will take to get everything resolved to your satisfaction. |
| 2-15-2018 | New Moon/Solar Eclipse today, though it is only a partial eclipse and only visible across the South Atlantic Ocean and a tiny swatch of Argentina. This one is Saros Series 1 South and according to astrologer and eclipse guru, Bernadette Brady, this family of eclipses relates to ideas and their enthusiastic expression, which links up well with Jupiter in Scorpio, except he is squaring the eclipse as well as Mercury, instituting some challenges. It's also possible you'll have so many ideas, you won't know which one to pursue first. |
| 2-16-2018 | Unexpected news that opens up opportunities to stabilize a relationship or financial situation are out there, but make sure everything is in proper order before committing to anything. Mistakes, misunderstandings, gross exaggerations, or blatant deception are possible, so make sure all the T's are crossed and I's dotted properly. Taking control or being controlled are still possibilities, so be sure you understand the difference if you're wanting to expand upon something you feel strongly about. |
| 2-17-2018 | Confusion or brain-fog with regard to a concept or action you should pursue is still out there, which could either blind you to a looming opportunity, or protect your from taking action prematurely. Delays are not always a bad thing, but often indicate the time is not yet right. Searching your subconscious for the reason is more important than fighting against it and pressing forward before you're ready. You can't force an idea to fruition before its time anymore than you can convince the planets to move any faster. |
| 2-18-2018 | The cosmic convention has moved into Pisces including the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Neptune as well as the asteroid, Chiron, throwing a lot of energy into this dreamy, other-worldly sign. In this world, logic does not apply, but your imagination, dreams, and visions, receive a boost, for better or worse. Taking action under these conditions compares to drunk driving, so make sure you're seeing things clearly before taking action. Logic does not apply, especially with Mercury in the sign of his debility and fall, so enjoy your fantasies while recognizing that's what they are. |
| 2-19-2018 | Venus is moving into a conjunction with Neptune, which can bring wonderful dreams and fantasies about love and money, but make sure you recognize they're probably no more than an illusion, so enjoy them for what they are. Taking action on them as fact will probably not come out the way you'd like, so bear that in mind, even if they may have in the past. Better to use this boost to your imagination in a creative way or for some form of escape like doing a Ferris Buhler for a day without expecting it to be your new reality. |
| 2-20-2018 | Taking action on anything related to love or money continues to be risky, especially if it's based on opinion or emotion as opposed to facts. Mercury isn't functioning too well in Pisces where he tends to dream at best and be confused or delusional at worst, but the sextile with Saturn in dignity in Capricorn may be grounding enough to salvage some practicality from any ideas that come your way and bring them to fruition. Being obsessive about something from the past thanks to Jupiter and Pluto is still active, so getting some inspiration toward making it so is possible, but moving on it just now isn't a particularly good idea unless you're sure it's not a pipe dream. |
| 2-21-2018 | An opportunity to view those images or visions in a way that could make them possible is out there today as the Moon sweeps through earthy Taurus, helping firm up what you want to do into the corporeal world. Taking action on it just yet is going to involve numerous obstacles, but getting your ducks in a row is a great first step in the right direction. Saturn will help you organize your ideas into viable plans as well. |
| 2-22-2018 | Not much has changed the past few days, the cosmic convention in Pisces chugging along with inspired days being made into viable plans, but cautions out there as well regarding taking action on anything that isn't soundly grounded in fact and reality. Dealing with the past continues to be a major theme, perhaps related to areas where you over-reacted or expected too much and a chance now to recognize them for what they are and move on in a more practical way. |
| 2-23-2018 Fri | The Moon could stir up a few arguments today that require balancing facts with philosophy in an attempt to deal with inaccurate or delusional information. Being seen in a favorable manner by those in authority is possible, depending on how you handle the situation. In other words, they will probably listen, at least, provided you approach any conflict in a rationale, non-defensive manner. Keep you ultimate goal in mind and don't be deterred by unsubstantiated information. |
| 2-24-2018 Sat | The Moon is still kicking off a few things, including a few surprises and perhaps some logical reasons why your current direction is a bit off and requires a look at past experience to avoid repeating a previous mistake. If you're in doubt, this is a favorable time to get some inspired advice from an older friend or relative who can probably introduce some sound ideas for consideration. With Mars and Venus squared off, chances are that the guys and gals will be butting heads more than usual for a day or two as well. |
| 2-25-2018 Sun | The Moon is now in her home sign of Cancer, where her emotional nature can best express itself. This can be helpful for your imagination and especially any creative endeavors you're currently working on that are enhanced by conveying feelings. However, unrealistic ideas about love or money should be reconsidered before taking action on them as well as making sure there's an element of practicality under consideration as well. |
| 2-26-2018 | The Cancer Moon is really kicking up some action today as she briefly contributes to forming a Grand Water Trine with Venus and Jupiter, then tops it off to create a Kite by opposing Pluto while Uranus is likely to throw in a few surprises. That's a lot of energy with a huge emotional punch which is likely to relate to unresolved issues or something from the past. Interactions with authority figures continue to be favored while taking action on ideas related to love or money aren't. |
| 2-27-2018 | The Moon could kick off a fated event of some description today as you continue to visualize what you want to achieve. This could be as simple as recognizing your ability to do so, in other words, a confidence boost, or possibly an actual encounter with someone who can lend a helping hand. This is where all your past experience and aspirations can come into play with an additional boost from Venus, who's exalted in Pisces, to induce others to be receptive to your message. |
| 2-28-2018 | The Moon continues to stir things up, but will soon take a rest as she goes void of course, then enters Virgo. Meanwhile, she's forming another yod that could relate to an unexpected opportunity to to pursue something involving love or money that you've been wanting for a long time. This is not to say it will be easy, but a lot of new information and/or inspiration is out there to lend a helping hand, though some of it may not be easy to act upon. However, the positive influences predominate today, so think positive! |
| 3-01-2018 | The Moon continues to stir things up, but will soon take a rest as she goes void of course, then enters Virgo and starts the month with a Full Moon. Since this is a long month, that also means there will be two this month, making up for only have one lunation in February. Of course this depends on where you live, since in the Land of Oz and others on the other side of the International Date Line, this happened February 28. As always, this Full Moon will bring an ending, culmination, or shift to a new phase which will be described in more detail in your sign-specific monthly horoscope. In a nutshell, Pisces is still a bit over-populated, which could be messing with your practical side. |
| 3-02-2018 | Taking action is likely to be full of conflicts today as well as an annoyance from the past. Actually, however, you'd best give that tidbit from the past some additional consideration, because therein may lie an opportunity you won't want to miss. Ideas about love and money may seem to be hitting the wall of reality, but this is when you need to decide just how badly you want it. If you're willing to confront hell and high water to get there, the path could open up before you in a very surprising manner. |
| 3-03-2018 | Venus and Mercury are conjunct in Pisces, making them a lovely sight just after sunset in the western sky. Neptune and the Sun are conjunct as well, giving us some interesting energy today. It's likely to be particularly dreamy with thoughts of love and a day when your imagination can be quite fertile, but taking action on such daydreams may encounter a number of obstacles, perhaps at a philosophical level. Annoyances and interruptions are likely to get in the way, but these could be in your favor in the long haul as something better comes along. Friction and annoyances from the past are one possible trip-wire as well, especially as they relate to responsibilities to a relationship. |
| 3-04-2018 | Venus and Mercury are now in particle conjunct with a third party, the asteroid, Chiron, a.k.a. "the wounded healer." This throws a caution flag with regard to love and money and having high expectations with regard to either. Remember, if something sounds too good to be true, whether it's a sales pitch or a come-on, it probably is, and with the Sun and Neptune conjunct as well, being duped is quite likely. This is a time to search your personal cerebral database of past experience for clues with regard to what to believe and what not to. |
| 3-05-2018 | Mercury, Venus, and Chiron are now in a rolling stellium in Pisces, which implies the potential for hurtful conversations about love or money if they make a hard aspect to something on your chart. The trine from Mars to Uranus suggests some unexpected or disruptive events or perhaps simply something that changes your status quo or philosophy of life. This could result in some friction coupled with an opportunity to examine the past more closely. It takes a mature individual to be able to change their mind about their beliefs when confronted with facts. |
| 3-06-2018 | Interesting aspects out there today which are relatively benign. Inspiration and connecting with your higher self continues to be favored, encouraging you to discover what makes your heart sing and then start thinking about getting there. Something that slipped away years ago could come back into reach and pursuing it again, if it still excites you, is possible. There are some things in life that you need to let go and others where you should never let go. Your heartfelt dreams are one of them. In the immortal words of Jason Nesmith in the movie Galaxy Quest, "Never give up! Never surrender!" |
| 3-07-2018 | The Cosmos in general remains relatively friendly, though there is no guarantee these planetary positions aren't hitting you in a far less friendly manner. For example, if you were born in late August or September 1969, Mars is squaring your natal Pluto, which can be quite unfriendly. However, nice transits are nonetheless welcome. Venus and Mercury are now conjunct in Aries, making for some lively conversations, especially about love or money. Sudden changes of direction are still likely and probably triggered by some sort of annoyance that you may overreact to. Keep your cool, it's doubtful it's the end of the world. |
| 3-08-2018 | Jupiter stations retrograde today, throwing a lot of hot air into the cosmic environment. Arguments with authority figures are not likely to go well today, especially if you're a bit too mouthy. You're likely to be perceived to be aggressive, even if you don't do so intentionally. However, your rebellious and impetuous side is getting a bit of a boost, which is likely to give the illusion of power you actually do not have. Using that energy to pursue a creative endeavor will pay better dividends in the long haul, so put off any confrontations with your boss until next week. |
| 3-09-2018 | Sudden changes remain likely with a variety of opportunities and annoyances adding some flavor as well. The past just won't go away, and while some elements may be getting on your last nerve, look for the bright side. If one of your childhood dreams has been neglected, maybe it's time to face up to it. Pursuing it is probably a major challenge, but the harder you have to work for something, the more meaningful eventual success will be. Undoubtedly there are obstacles with money probably one of them as well as a host of people trying to talk you out of it. However, there are certain decisions that no one is qualified to make other than you. |
| 3-10-2018 | Another day with an interesting mix of cosmic influences. Conflicts related to structure, authority figures, responsibility, or meeting your obligations are still out there and likely to be brought to your attention if you've messed up in some way, like forgetting to pay your electric bill. On a more positive side, moving toward something new and original in what could be an unexpected manner is still being hosted by Mars and Uranus. A nice sextile pattern between the Sun, Pluto, and Jupiter is promoting a look to the past that could awaken an old dream long-forgotten. If you feel as if your life is missing something, spend some time in quiet contemplation regarding something you gave up on long ago. Maybe you should give it another shot. |
| 3-11-2018 | If you've been pondering that dream from the past you'd like to manifest at last, but have no clue how to do it, today could bring some inspiration. Dreams can be hard to catch and make reality due to their ephemeral nature. Sometimes they're more of a feeling than a vision. Whether you can envision it to the point of feeling it are key to bringing it into the real world. Spend some time today confronting the challenges and make up your mind whether it's worth it to pursue or whether you should forever after hold you peace. |
| 3-12-2018 | That square between that Mercury/Venus conjunction and Saturn continues to be a bit bothersome, though ways for dealing with it are persisting as well. Pursuing something unusual or perhaps nothing more unique than personal freedom, is tempting, but annoyances related to obligations or responsibility are probably getting in the way. Mercury goes retrograde later this month, so this is not the time to start something, but rethinking and planning won't hurt. Taking control of your life is always important with little to be achieved of value if it's a hot mess. Ponder any lessons you've previously ignored and reverse engineer your situation to find its cause and potential solution. |
| 3-13-2018 | Challenges remain in the same arenas, mostly related to Saturn, who's famous for such things as they relate to responsibility and laying a proper foundation for what you want to accomplish. Taking action on anything right now is likely to encounter a variety of difficulties as well, sort of like trying to fry bacon in water. In other words, you may tend to move forward with something that sounds good in theory, but you don't have adequate or accurate information to do so correctly. False starts are likely, especially with Mercury getting ready to go retrograde in a little over a week. Don't be discouraged; recognizing what won't work is part of the process. |
| 3-14-2018 | Sudden changes of direction, either mentally or objectively, continue, your ability to think outside the proverbial box enhanced. Being outside the usual convention, you may find obstacles in your way, but maybe you just need to embrace a new paradigm before you can move forward. Being headstrong and determined to pursue you new agenda will still encounter some opposition, but in this case, persistence is likely to pay off. |
| 3-15-2018 | If you're stuck, it could be due to confusion or something clashing with you outlook. An opportunity to learn from the past is calling your name and could help resolve the stalemate. Those boundaries, obligations, or responsibilities aren't going to go away, but with some effort you may be able to manage them easier than you previously thought. Seek some inspiration to assist your thought process, which might just get you past what's holding you back. |
| 3-16-2018 | Some obstacles remain, which is actually par for the course. It seems any endeavor requires time, money, and energy, with all three seldom concurrently available. However, dreaming big doesn't cost anything, and with enough inspiration coupled with determination, just about anything is possible. Uranus is still trining Mars, an aspect that suggest a sudden move, perhaps to pursue an opportunity that has been teasing you that relates to a passion you've obsessed on, yet not actively pursued. What are you waiting for? |
| 3-17-2018 | A New Moon typically is just that, new, and brings something new into your life, which you can find out more about in the monthly horoscopes for your specific sign and/or ascendant. This one suggests some conflict with taking action, perhaps because you lack the necessary training, or perhaps it conflicts in some way with your belief system. Nonetheless, there's some passion behind it that hails from the past, perhaps something you've dreamed of doing your entire life. A spark of rebellion may be spurring you on, in spite of being a bit unrealistic, which is likely to bring some admonitions from someone older, wiser, and undoubtedly, with less vision. Remember, what you accomplish (or don't) in this life is really up to you. |
| 3-18-2018 | Mars has gone into Capricorn where he's exalted as his fiery energy finds stability and discipline as he pursues various ambitions. This could also bring some aggressive moves on the part of governments and corporations, however, who are ruled generically by Capricorn. Right now, Mars, Saturn, and Pluto, which are all considered malefics, are in that sign, which should bring some interesting occurrences over the next few months until mid-May, while Mars is kicking things off. Actually, he goes retrograde in June, so he'll e back for a while from mid-August through mid-September. There's a lot of energy in Aries right now churning things up as well, while the Sun and Neptune in Pisces are fogging everyone's perceptions. Doesn't sound like a very good combination. Stock up on popcorn and get ready to watch the show. |
| 3-19-2018 | Annoyances due to lack of clarity regarding love or money are possible, but they are typically a target-rich environment for such things. Minor planet, Eris, is in a long-term square with Pluto, which doesn't look very friendly, given Eris is the goddess of discord and Pluto is, well, Pluto, god of the Underworld. Jupiter is in there stirring it up with his signature hot air, which has the potential to shift things unexpectedly in a new direction, perhaps as the result of someone or something taking control or having the power to do so. With Mars closing in on Saturn, definitive action by an authority figure can be expected. |
| 3-20-2018 | The Sun goes into Aries today, which typically kicks off some interesting events other than the Spring Equinox. This is especially likely with the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Eris, and Uranus all occupying that sign. Every more interesting is the fact that over the next little while some or all of them will be squaring those three malefics in Capricorn. For example, today the Sun is squaring Mars, so keep an eye out for some interest conflict, which is being further egged on by a square between Venus and Mercury with Pluto. About all I can about all this is, "Brace yourself." |
| 3-21-2018 | While that cosmic convention of planet cruises through Aries, fellow Fire Signs Leo and Sagittarius will also get a boost as the various planets trine their respective natal Suns. Cardinal signs, however, get a square, which includes Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn. If you're in one of those groups, think about other years to see if March hasn't been a memorable month. Of course it's not that simple, other aspects need to support it, but Sun aspects tend to be strong. Fast-movers like Mercury and Venus, however, are a bit more transient in their effect. On the global scene, things tend to heat up, literally and figuratively and the stage is definitely set. |
| 3-22-2018 | Ah, the dreaded day has arrived when Mercury once again stations retrograde. If today is your solar return, then you will have this influence for the entire year. Actually, that isn't as bad as it sounds, as long as you understand that you won't make much forward progress, but it's an excellent time to clear out all those unfinished projects. Remember this is a time to restrain yourself from purchasing anything mechanical (ANY moving parts, whatsoever) and electronic devices. Communications of all varieties are likely to be messed up, from verbal to internet connections. Reconsider, revise, re-plan, edit, and re-think anything that hasn't been working as expected. There's a purpose for all astrological influences, and we all need to pause and look back from time to time. |
| 3-23-2018 | The Moon could bring about a touch of fate today that points you toward something you've always wanted. This is likely to hinge on letting go of past negativity, so if something tickles your fancy, pay attention. This is not to say there won't be a few obstacles, and remember that Mercury is retrograde, making it a poor time to start something new, but it's great for rethinking, reconsidering, and revising. A change of course may be exactly what you need unless you're thoroughly enchanted by the status quo. |
| 3-24-2018 | The Moon is still up to no good, but fortunately, she moves rather quickly. However, anything that has been brewing for a while ultimately gets kicked off by your lunar highness as the ruler of function. Today looks like one where you head and heart may be at odds regarding what to do. As you attempt to decide, remember that Mercury is retrograde, which is not the time for starting something new, but a time for rethinking and reconsidering. There's a lot of energy in Aries, which provides a lot of drive and impatience to take action, but that square to Mars, Aries' ruler, is holding things back. A change of course regarding what you really want is likely, perhaps letting go of something that's been on your bucket list for a long time. |
| 3-25-2018 | The Moon continue to stir things up as she opposed and squares all those planets hanging out in Cardinal signs. These are signs that don't hesitate to take action in a planned, determined manner. However, when they're squared off, there's likely to be a lot of confrontations as they tend to have different styles. If you need someone's approval or cooperation to do what you want, expect an argument and be prepared to present your case in an assertive, logical manner. It's okay to put your heart into it as long as you keep your emotions under control. You probably won't like how things end if you're too volatile. |
| 3-26-2018 | Asserting yourself may be hitting a brick wall, but that doesn't mean you can't change course and get around it. Depending on how determined you are to obtain whatever it is you're after, it's going to require some adjustments. Perhaps the past is coming back to bite you in some way, or there are just too many trip-wires between you and your aspirations. Make sure you're seeing things clearly, which could be part of the problem. Mercury retrograde is a time to rethink, reconsider, and revise, so use that energy to start working on a new plan. |
| 3-27-2018 | There are still a variety of obstacles out there, including getting permission, authorization, or whatever you need to progress. Of course Mercury retrograde isn't doing you any favors and could be fogging your concentration, thanks to being in cahoots with Neptune in an annoying way. Sometimes this can be a good thing, if it forces you to break things down into a series of steps which can be more easily understood and then addressed individually. Remember, this is a time to be rethinking and revising, a perfect time for auditing or editing a work in progress. We all need to stop and assess our situation periodically and Mercury reminds us to do so, even if we do some kicking and screaming before we comply. No matter how small some planets may be compared to others, they're a whole lot bigger than you or me. |
| 3-28-2018 | That square from the Aries Sun to Mars and Saturn in Capricorn will be out there for several more days. While it's in effect, expect to encounter a variety of obstacles, perhaps due to not seeing things clearly. Mercury, who rules thoughts, ideas, communications in general, all things mechanical, and electronic can cause your brain to space out a bit and the semisextile to Neptune will exacerbate it even more. Surprises related to love or money are likely for the next several days as well. If you haven't figured out yet what your passion in life is, use Mercury's retro-energy to figure it out. Starting with what you loved and dreamed of as a child will help you figure it out. |
| 3-29-2018 | Nothing has changed much since yesterday, though the Moon may be kicking off a few things. For example, if you were confused about something or not seeing it clearly, you might figure it out at last, find the source of your misunderstanding, and change your mind or course accordingly. getting what you want is still hitting up against a brick wall, perhaps from that person in the corner office or some other authority standing in your way. This is likely to manifest like the proverbial irresistible force and immovable object, which results in a lot of sparks and expended energy, but not much else. Continue to ponder your deepest desires and what you would ask that genie for, should he or she turn up in your living room. |
| 3-30-2018 | Unexpected situations related to love or money could require an adjustment or change of course. Mental confusion and an inclination toward unrealistic ideas continues while moving forward continues to be a challenge. Mars conjunct Saturn could well be compared to trudging through mud, to say nothing of the square with the Sun, making it personal. If you really dislike what you're doing, maybe it's time to face it and look for something else. Life is too short to spend it doing something you don't enjoy. |
| 3-31-2018 | Full Moon today in Libra, for which more detail is available in your sign's monthly horoscope. Remember that a Full Moon typically indicates and ending, culmination, of shift to a new phase. This lunation forms a T-square with the Mars/Saturn conjunction, which suggests some issues over responsibilities may turn up in your close relationships, whether this involves a business partner or a significant other. This is an excellent time to talk about it, examine your priorities in concert with your long-term goals, and see what you can do about it, once and for all. Venus is delighted that she slipped into Taurus, where she's in dignity as its ruler. This is a sensual Venus who enjoys the comforts of life. |
| 4-01-2018 | Two partile conjunctions out there today, the first being the Sun and Mercury Retrograde, the other Saturn and Mars, with them in a cosmic dos-a-dos squaring each other. This looks like some serious consideration and rethinking if you're hitting a wall trying to attain what you at least think you want. One thing to look at is how determined you are to get your way versus a possible compromise that could help you get past any obstacles persisting in your path. That persistent sextile between Jupiter and Pluto continues to imply there are opportunities out there to take control of something you're passionate about achieving. |
| 4-02-2018 | Getting motivated to do something, yet feeling as if you're stuck in the mud is possible today. Don't be surprised if you have to change your mind or at least your plan about something before the day is done. In other words, what you want and what you get are likely to be pretty far apart. Your reaction to this may be self-defeating, so make sure you don't do or say something that will bite you later. On the other hand, it IS Monday, so you may not have the motivation to anything, right, wrong, or indifferent. |
| 4-03-2018 | If you still feel as if the Cosmos is picking on you, you're not alone. To my fellow Cappies I would ask, how are those three malefics in your natural 1st house, i.e. Pluto, Mars, and Saturn, working out for you, especially with Mercury RX squaring them? The gurgling sounds my septic tank is making these days says it all for yours truly. Venus may be our only friend these days as she lounges happily in Taurus, which she rules. She'll help you plan your garden or any other beautification projects you're entertaining as she trines Saturn over the next few days. |
| 4-04-2018 | Our buddy, Venus, is doing some good at last as she trines Mars and Saturn, which suggests some help moving forward where you've previously been stalemated. Taurus being sensual on the one hand, and superbly stubborn on the other, perhaps a combination of these Venusian traits will help your cause. Use your imagination, but then color it with reality and a touch of wisdom. |
| 4-05-2018 | Our buddy, Venus, is still trying to help us out and bring some luck our way with any issues we're having. Communications are all honked up thanks to Mercury retrograde, but Venus is doing everything she can, perhaps helping your patience quotient or ramping up your charm. There's a chance it's all a misunderstanding, so try not to get too ramped up, in case it turns out to be nothing. On the other hand, there are numerous issues out there that need to be resolved, so either way, approach it with as much perspective as possible. Will it matter in a week? A month? A year? If not, don't give it any more energy than it deserves. |
| 4-06-2018 | The Moon is messing with Uranus (don't even go there) which could bring some surprises. Venus is continuing to help with resolving issues, particularly at the government, corporate, or authority figure level. Thus, if you have something in that category, now is a good time to talk to someone, especially with Mercury retrograde also sending the message to rethink and revise. This won't necessarily be a cake-walk, but turn on the charm as opposed to venom and you'll get farther than you may expcect. |
| 4-07-2018 | Venus is still lending a helping hand toward dealing with responsibility or other issues involving authority where you may be feeling stuck. Resolving old issues is often a challenge, but unearthing the appropriate information to do so is favored, even though it's not likely to be handed to you; you're going to have to do some digging, but it's there. Looking at the past in a new way that helps you understand what happened in a more philosophical light is advised. By seeing it differently, you can virtually change it and transform any negative effect it may have had on your life. |
| 4-08-2017 | A near-even mix of favorable and challenging aspects persist out there, dragging on the challenges and opportunities to confront and deal with them. Mercury retrograde is helping you rethink and reverse any misunderstandings or other matters related to the powers-that-be, even if it takes a slap upside the head courtesy of the Sun and Pluto to get your attention enough to do so. |
| 4-09-2018 | A change of course or adjustment to your approach is necessary if you want to take care of business and start making progress again. Mercury retrograde can help with rethinking the situation and your imagination can help as well with regard to what needs to be done next. This may be a time when thinking about what you need and want first and foremost will lead you to the solution you're looking for, but bear in mind you may have to compromise a few things. Digging in your heels to get your way isn't likely to be effective. |
| 4-10-2018 | Venus continues to assist with getting a move on with regard to some needed planning. Rethinking your responsibilities continues, with certain matters from the past biting you in one way or another, either in the form of bills coming due or regrets. If you don't like where you are, maybe it's time to rethink how you got there and what needs to be done to get where you want to be, whether it's a physical relocation, improving your finances, or dealing with relationships. The first thing you need to do to effect a change is to commit to whatever it takes. Once you do that, the path ahead tends to reveal itself, step by step. |
| 4-11-2018 | Venus continues to assist with getting a move on with regard to some needed planning. Rethinking your responsibilities continues, with certain matters from the past biting you in one way or another, either in the form of bills coming due or regrets. If you don't like where you are, maybe it's time to rethink how you got there and what needs to be done to get where you want to be, whether it's a physical relocation, improving your finances, or dealing with relationships. The first thing you need to do to effect a change is to commit to whatever it takes. Once you do that, the path ahead tends to reveal itself, step by step. |
| 4-12-2018 | Changes of direction are still a likely solution to anything where you feel stick. A new approach is frequently all it needs. Remember what Einstein said that you can't solve any problem thinking at the same level that got you into it in the first place. Use your imagination coupled with a step-by-step plan , but also take a look at whether what you think you really want is what's best in the long haul as well as whether you're up to the effort it will take to get there. |
| 4-13-2018 | Getting started on getting something you want and need is still on the table with Mercury retrograde helping you to revise and perfect your plan. Starting now will be an exercise in futility, so keep figuring out if you've nailed the plan for a couple more days. Adjustments are still likely, which may actually pertain to your overall objective. Any new ideas you come up with now are likely to be delayed. I started writing a book back in 2016 during a Mercury RX cycle which still isn't written, largely because I eventually realized there was another one that needed to be written first. While doing that one, numerous ideas and plot twists for the one I'd started came out, so you may have a similar experience. Remember, timing is everything, so even delays can work in your favor. |
| 4-14-2018 | Rethinking, re-planning, reconsidering, and revising are still favored as Mercury slows down and gets ready to station direct. Be sure to scrutinize past attempts which failed and learn from them so as to not make the same mistakes again. Remember if you keep on doing what you've always done, you'll keep on getting what you've always got. One of the function of Mercury retrograde is to take the time to learn from the past. Looking back from time to time is essential to know where you've been with regard to where you're going. |
| 4-15-2018 | New Moon today in Aries, which you can read more about on ValkyrieAstrology.com with regard to how it will affect your individual sign. Even better is the fact that Mercury stations direct today as well. Taking action on something you should have done a long time ago instead of procrastinating any longer can help mitigate any money or relationship issues hanging over your head. This will be a challenge, but well-worth it. |
| 4-16-2018 | Remember you can change the past by remembering it in a more positive light. Even if the events or situations were unpleasant, consider what you learned from them or perhaps simply that you survived and are now a different, stronger person. Growth is seldom painless, but what life is all about. Watch for inspiration regarding where you want to go and how to get there. What ever obstacles are in your way can probably be overcome with some good old-fashioned determination. |
| 4-17-2018 | Saturn stations retrograde today, which tends to slow things down and define boundaries you may not like. However, in the long-haul, Saturn retrograde is about rebuilding or restructuring something. During the retrograde period your subconscious will be ruminating on it, perhaps creating a restless feeling without you knowing what it's all about. By the time Saturn goes direct in September you should have it all figured out and have it taken care of by the time Saturn is out of the shadow period in December. Thus, take any delays as a good thing that will make sense later. |
| 4-18-2018 | Uranus conjoins the Sun today, which could stir up some interesting events. Uranus is unpredictable by nature, but represents any number of things that can be explosive, both literally and figuratively. The world has a target-rich environment for such things these days, so take note of anything that fits that description. Working through old issues and finding inspiration for your plans continues, though getting all the steps figured out will continue to be a challenge for a while. Listening to your heart is favored as long as it has some logic behind it. |
| 4-19-2018 | A sudden gut feelings or inspiration may drive you to change directions today, even if you're not too crazy about it at first. Sorting through the past is still a theme, thanks to Pluto, Venus, and Jupiter, with new insights possibly the driver for change. Mercury is direct again, thank heaven, with a lot of impulsive energy residing in Aries, but that will change by tomorrow when the Sun goes into Taurus. Thus, you might want to think about things and wait a day or so before taking action, just in case you're not thinking things through as thoroughly as you should. |
| 4-20-2018 | The Sun went into Taurus today, which should bring a stabilizing energy shift. Getting what you think you want is full of challenges, but opportunities are on the way. The key these days is to find the proper balance between what you want and what you need, then setting things in motion to pursue it. Remember that people in hell want ice water, meaning getting what you want may be little more than a pipe dream while getting what you need may depend more on your attitude than anything else. |
| 4-21-2018 | The Moon, ruler of function, is setting off quite a few things today, so don't be surprised if it's more eventful than usual. Furthermore, she's in Cancer, which she rules, and gives her more emotional impact. This is further emphasized by the fact she'll be creating a Grand Water Trine, brining Pisces and Scorpio into it as well. Big dreams that have been elusive may thus feel a bit more painful than usual, your reaction to the disappointment possibly anger, as Chiron enters Aries. Maybe if you get angry enough, you'll do something about it. |
| 4-22-2018 | Pluto stations retrograde today, which will internalize his dark, mysterious energy into the realm of the Underworld. If you think of him as a cosmic roto-rooter or back-hoe, you can just about imagine what he might dig up in today's target-rich environment. However, the actual exposure of what he finds won't come out for a while. Butting heads with anyone who has some measure of authority over you is more likely to be expressed openly now, and for a day or so, wanting something you can't afford is likely to be more annoying than usual, especially if there is someone handy to blame for your lack of fortune. |
| 4-23-2018 | Mars and Pluto are on a collision course with a boost from Jupiter, which certainly has some interesting potential for taking control and action upon something you want in a big way. Bear in mind that Jupiter tends to be neutral, simply expanding upon what he touches, while the other two have a somewhat sordid reputation. However, when you want to get something done, that's the kind of energy you need, so put it to good use. Your incentive is still likely to be an irritation or annoyance that pushes you over the edge where you're not going to take it anymore. Not always a bad thing. |
| 4-24-2018 | Mars and Pluto continue on their collision course with an extra boost from Jupiter. If you have any planets, especially your Sun, around 20 - 21 degrees, you're likely to feel it. While Uranus is at 28 degrees he's messing with my Mercury and pretty much driving me to a rubber room if it doesn't end soon. Making progress with a plan is favored, but any ideas or thoughts you have in that regard are likely to hit a few speed bumps. |
| 4-25-2018 |
"If you're tired of the transits, clap your hands! If you're tired of the transits, clap your hands! If you're tired of the transits and the antics of the planets, and you want it to be over, clap your hands!" Sorry, but my inner Kalliope saved me from possibly using a non-family-friendly word with regard to some of the crap the cosmos has been throwing at us lately. Or maybe those malefics in Capricorn, their evil vibes taunting my natal Sun, are to blame. I don't know, but when Uranus finally quits messing with my Mercury I'm hoping that my life will improve significantly. IMHO, astrologers should be immune to this, but, trust me, we're not. We just know what's causing it, which isn't always much comfort. Bah. |
| 4-26-2018 | Things look a little friendlier out there, other than that ongoing square between Mercury and Saturn which is making discussions with those older than yourself or in some position of authority difficult. If you're waiting for such a person to do something, good luck, because they're probably moving at glacial speed, if at all. None the less, persistence should pay off and help get things unstuck if you take control of as much as you can and not just sit there waiting for someone else to do all the fixing. |
| 4-27-2018 | It may be difficult to find a fair compromise today unless you're willing to shift how you see things and what your ultimate goal happens to be. Perhaps it should be more short-term or long-term, depending on where things seem to be stuck. If it's short-term, deal with it however you need to because there's still plenty of time to get back on tack. If it's long-term, maybe you weren't shooting in the right direction in the first place. This is a time when your intuition is your best guide, even though it may not always make sense at the time. |
| 4-28-2018 | The Moon could stir up a few things today that make you feel as if you've been suddenly attacked. This could be because you were looking at things through rose-colored glasses and not paying attention to what was really going on around you. You've probably already noticed that an aggressive approach isn't working. Being calm but determined which the Taurus sun can lend a hand with, will get your farther in the long haul. Trust me. |
| 4-29-2018 | Full Moon today in Scorpio, as described in the monthly sign horoscopes. This one is in cahoots with Saturn retrograde, suggesting that something that needs to be rebuilt or restructured is the message behind what comes your way at this time. Your thoughts and ideas may still be too impulsive or impatient with regard to the time in which you expect results. Just because you want something badly doesn't mean the universe will be in a hurry to bring it to you. However, visualizing exactly what you want tends to help. |
| 4-30-2018 | The Sun and Venus are helping with that bureaucratic or red-tape matter, even though communications may still seem stuck, but that should loosen up in a day or so. Charm and persistence are your allies so make sure you use them both to the max. Getting in touch with your dreams and/or what you really want is favored now, in case you don't already know, or have perhaps forgotten. Now is the time to get in touch with your inner child again and find them. If you let dreams die, part of you goes with them, so now's your chance to reconnect. |
| 5-01-2018 | The aspects today are pretty friendly, which is certainly welcome. Those childhood dreams are still alive, so don't give up on them just yet. Saturn retrograde is the time to be ruminating on them and what you need to do if you want them to come true. Remember nothing worth doing is usually easy, and a change of direction is not always a piece of cake, either. However, some things are worth the effort. You hold more of your destiny in your hands than you probably realize. There's a chance for some discord as you decide to take action, so be prepared to present your case as needed. |
| 5-02-2018 | The Moon is doing her thing today and probably stirring up a few things. Jupiter is trying to compensate, however, so whatever the opposition happens to be, listen to your intuition. If you're arguing with yourself or perhaps someone else regarding that childhood dream, remember that childhood dreams are typically part of your cosmic programming as something you're supposed to accomplish in this lifetime. If you've been distracted by life, you're not alone, but at some point you need to face up to what you're supposed to do with your life. |
| 5-03-2018 | There's a whole lot of energy bouncing round out there while the Moon stirs up some annoying surprises. You're likely to change your mind about a few things, possibly because the facts demand it, like it or not. Obstacles are popping up like mushrooms after a rain, some oldies but not-so-goodies. What you want is not going to be handed to you anytime soon, and if you think it is, it's most likely no more than wishful thinking. A lot of this will go away of its own accord in the next several days since it's primarily fast-moving inner planets involved, so if you can chill out and go back to the drawing board, things are likely to get better than they appear today. |
| 5-04-2018 | May the Fourth Be With You! Jupiter is the Big Daddy today as far as participating in the most aspects with him still connecting with old philosophical and/or ethical issues that need to be resolved with a touch of inspiration and change in the usual way of understand how things work. Resistance to change, of course, is there as well, logic somewhat opposed to much of what's being said. Not everything in life is logical, however, with your emotions and intuition often another vision that may not make sense in the usual way. When you head and heart are having an argument, often your heart is dealing with information your head doesn't have, so bear that in mind. |
| 5-05-2018 | Misunderstandings related to love or money are possible, perhaps because you need some of one or the other. Taking a more philosophical view is favored regarding any unexpected events or information that might surface. Your imagination and intuition may be the key to figuring out what you really need the most. This works best when you're relaxed and let your mind wander of its own accord rather than telling it what to do. Your subconscious can probably do the best job, so give it a nice, quiet environment by chilling out doing something you enjoy. |
| 5-06-2018 | Arguments with powerful people or related to events and situations from the past are likely to resemble a volcano today in that there might be a lot of fire and ash thrown about, but that mountain isn't going to move; rather, it's likely to get higher and even harder to climb. Your best bet is to work on attaining an attitude adjustment that helps mediate that ongoing battle between what you think you want and what you're going to get. Chilling out with a friend going something you both enjoy will help as much as anything, even if it's only to forget your angst for a few hours. |
| 5-07-2018 | Chilling out and not taking things too seriously looks like one way to get through a day that could have a few obstacles thrown in your way. Communications and making progress with any ideas is likely to hit a wall along with some unexpected opposition. You head and heart are likely to be at odds, too, with your head set on what it wants while your heart tries to be logical. Don't be fooled, your heart is usually right, unless you want to call in the big guns. It's up to you whether that approach is worth it since it might come back to bite you. |
| 5-08-2018 | A course adjustment loop is out there connecting Venus, Jupiter, and Neptune. This suggests that if you've been hitting a wall getting something you want, it's time to change directions and come up with a new plan. If you've been determined to have it exactly your own way, chances are a compromise will bring more progress than digging in your heels. This may be annoying at first, but you can turn it to your advantage. There's also the option of calling in a favor, if you have any friends in high places. With Mars, Saturn, and Pluto all in Saturn, those authority figures haven't been too cooperative lately. Getting them to change with charm will work better than a tantrum. |
| 5-09-2018 | That course adjustment loop, a.k.a. "learning triangle", is still there telling you to do something a little differently if you want to progress. The realization you need to do this is likely to be annoying, but if you'll think about it, you'll realize that it will save you grief in the long run. Ideas are still encountering resistance along with disruptions and surprises. Whatever house Capricorn occupies in your natal chart is likely to be going through a variety of situations that are less than enchanting, thanks to those three malefics hanging out in that venue. As a Cappy myself, I can tell you it's quite a trip I wish would end. :-/ |
| 5-10-2018 | That course adjustment is loop is not only still out there, but getting some extra kick from the Moon. Since the Moon rules function, this should get your attention in some way, perhaps in the way of motivation as you gather up additional determination to get what you want. Opportunities are out there, including the possibility of calling in a favor from a friend in a high place. Rebelling against the status quo is still strong, with thoughts and news supporting that all around. A transformation change of direction regarding your deepest desires is brewing. |
| 5-11-2018 | Lessons from the past related to love or money should help you change course and navigate around some outlandish desire that you need like a hole in the head. The Sun in Taurus tends to draw your attention to comforts and pleasures, but that doesn't mean you should go out there in pursuit, regardless of the cost. Taking action impulsively on impractical ideas is a no-no these days or you will most likely live to regret it when that huge bill or payments rolls around in a month or so. |
| 5-12-2018 | Irritations related to something you simply don't want to give up is still demanding some adjustments. This is probably something you've wanted for a long time and may be so close you can actually smell it, yet something is in the way. Now is the time to figure out exactly what that obstacle may be. Sometimes it's obvious, like money, a competitor, or a superior, but others it's your own lack of belief or confidence. What you need to do is recognize that anything you can perceive you can achieve. It's all a matter of how hard you're willing to work for it or possibly what you're willing to give up. |
| 5-13-2018 | Digging in your heels with regard to what you want is favored, but still encountering some opposition. Make sure this isn't self-inflicted. A change of direction with regard to love or money is called for, even if you are trying to deny the necessity. Big dreams are being inflated these days and may be ignoring reality. Now that Mercury has gone into Taurus, your thoughts may be more practical and less impulsive, yet retain your determination, which should be a good thing. Maybe what you want isn't so much impossible as the timeline associated with your expectations. |
| 5-14-2018 | The practical aspect of pursuing your dreams continues to nag at you, but this is where the rubber meets the road regarding whether or not you'll achieve them. Usually the old saying "Where there's a will, there's a way" is true, but you have to make up your mind and take control. If deep inside you don't believe it will ever happen, then it probably won't. It may be hard to believe, especially with all those practical vibes coming at you like unfriendly drones, but that is what you need to do. |
| 5-15-2018 | Today is a rather busy astrological day. Not only do we have a New Moon, but also some sign changes for Uranus and Mars, who have been in a bit of a lock-step lately and stirring up all sort of trouble, much of which has manifested for yours truly in the form of a psycho internet. As these two go from cardinal signs to fixed signs, there will be a significant energy change. This New Moon is nothing to sneeze at, either, with that trine to Pluto and semi-sextile to Venus in Gemini, bringing some facts that could be annoying, yet bring something good your way if you deal with it properly. You can find more information on the lunation in your monthly horoscope. |
| 5-16-2018 | It will be interesting to see how that Mars - Uranus square changing to fixed signs will play out. Rather than Earth and Fire Signs, we're now dealing with Air and Earth, which changes it as well. Uranus in Taurus remind me of a volcano, and there have been some eruptions lately. Mars in Aquarius could easily be actions toward social change. Communicating with authority figures is now in better territory, but still likely to move at glacial speeds. Getting support from any powers than be for your personal projects is probably in the same boat. All that energy in Taurus and now Mars in Aquarius could easily be about learning patience. |
| 5-17-2018 | As the Moon conjoins Venus today you may be reminded of something you want but didn't get, causing a significant amount of friction. Logical should accompany the sensation, however, as opposed to a temper tantrum, which can help you figure out why you're still deprived of whatever it happens to be. This week is bringing numerous energy shifts, so ponder how you feel differently now than you did a week or so ago, and whether you have any new ideas regarding your best course of action. Disciplined thoughts are favored coupled with determination, which should be of some help. |
| 5-18-2018 | The Moon is at it again, stirring up your imagination and some of those potentially unrealistic passions you've been obsessing on lately. Practicality is likely to stand in the way and give you plenty to think about, which are likely to get your goat a bit as logic attempts to shut down your heart. There's more resistance than ever to breaking for freedom, something akin to the figurative form of Mt. Everest in your path. Where there's a will, there's a way, however, so check the facts and see what looks like a way around the obstacles. |
| 5-19-2018 | It looks as if an emotional battle could ensue as you try to deal with something from the past and take control so you can go after something you need. However, the emotional factor and determination could be off target just a bit, and thus have you going off in the wrong direction. There are still numerous obstacles in the path keeping you from breaking away, but one of them might be at the subconscious level. A change of direction, albeit slight, is required so you can put all the emotional energy to work properly. |
| 5-20-2018 | What you want and what you'll get continue to be at odds with adjustments still required. Chances are you either want or are expecting too much, so the cooperation you're looking for isn't forthcoming so you can take action. If you're being rebellious, you may be displaying too much emotion, which doesn't suit those from whom you may be depending for help. Logic is a bit rare today, but should improve tomorrow when the Sun goes into Gemini. |
| 5-21-2018 | It may be easier to listen to reason and not dig in your heels regarding what you want, annoying though it may be. However, if you want to make any progress, that is probably what it's going to take because any hint of rebellion is likely to go over like the proverbial lead balloon. Adjustments to what you want will help get things moving, but you're going to have to restructure some of your plans. Don't worry, inspiration is out there as long as you are willing to give up some of your original ideas. |
| 5-22-2018 | A change of direction in relationships is likely these days as things become more clear. It may be a battle between freedom and other needs, so it could go either way, but logic is likely to be a partner in the decision. Anything worthwhile usually requires some sacrifices, many of which fall under a higher law that may not be that comfortable, but your higher self should be able to deal with it. Being responsible and doing the right thing is often it's own reward. |
| 5-23-2018 | The moon is kicking off a few things today, so expect it to be far from dull. There's a chance that some serious inspiration may come your way that settles in at a spiritual, mental and emotional level that changes how you see a few things. Like most things that make a strong impression, it will undoubtedly involve some conflict, but resolution is likely to come after the dust settles. |
| 5-24-2018 | The moon was pretty busy yesterday and she's still busy today. If you're having love or money issues, perhaps intervention can help. Communications are favored, but they could get a bit animated as you express your side of things. Even if you have all the logic in the known universe in your favor, you'll probably get better results if you keep the volume down and heat index down. Exaggerating won't help either, neither will going on a power trip. Maybe you'd do better to just chill out today and relax until all this confrontational energy calms down a bit. On the other hand, if you enjoy a good argument, chances are good you'll find one. |
| 5-25-2018 | The Moon has been pretty busy lately, suggesting a lot has been going on all around. She's promoting a course adjustment look a.k.a. learning triangle today which implies a new approach is needed with your data and communications if you're hitting a brick wall. Challenges related to love or money continue, most likely related to responsibility or organization in some way. If you're been indulging in too much retail therapy lately, you're probably going to discover that the aftermath can be as unpleasant as what you were trying to deal with at the time. If that is your favored means of stress release, maybe a half-gallon of your favorite ice cream would be less harmful in the long run. |
| 5-26-2018 | Taking action on an idea you've had for a long time is favored, but this might take a lot of emotional energy to make the necessary change. Regaining confidence in your original inspiration is favored, but obstacles such as money are likely to stand in the way. This is decision time, when you have to figure out what you're willing to give up and do to make it happen. Windows of opportunity don't stay open forever. Decide to go for it once and for all or let it go, but don't get stuck trying to figure it out. |
| 5-27-2018 | Wanting to chill out and enjoy yourself versus finding the discipline to do what you really need to do is still a challenge, but your mind may help you make the shift to action that you know you need. Perhaps drawing from a past experience of a similar nature will help. There's a general dreamy feeling out there that's inclined to make you want to have your cake and eat it, too. So if you're having a hard time getting motivated, you can blame it on the planets. |
| 5-28-2018 | The need for balance is being emphasized today, whether it's balance between what you want/need versus responsibilities, or logic and practicality versus what your heart may be screaming for. You may know what you want to do, but breaking away from something of a practical nature has you stuck. Pursuing your dreams has never been more desirable or seemingly more impossible. It's at that point where something has to give which just might be in the responsibility department. How can you simplify your life to allow more time for what really matters? |
| 5-29-2018 | The Full Moon today includes a Grand Water Trine that will bolster your imagination and desire for what means the most to you. Moving forward is favored, but only if you're able to break away from what has been holding you back all along. If you expect whatever it is to be handed to you, you're probably more than sadly mistaken. A change of course that involves rebuilding that dream at a very logical level is required, so you'd best be getting to it. More information regarding which part of your life this relates to can be found in the monthly horoscopes. |
| 5-30-2018 | That nice Grand Water Trine is still out there and probably will be for another day or so. This is strong, emotional energy that will tend to magnify your emotions, whatever they might be. Annoyances from the past may come along, but keep them in perspective. While emotions are ramped up, so is logic, with the Sun and Mercury both in Gemini, Mercury its ruler, so operating nicely. However, beware of too much information or logic that drives you to take action without making sure you have your facts straight. Avoid being impulsive, no matter how much sense it seems to make at the time. |
| 5-31-2018 | Taking actions on your ideas is still favored, but still require a few course changes as well. This change probably involves reordering your priorities rather than loading up with so many goals and ambitions that you do little more than spin in circles trying to figure out what to do next. If you are having a hard time figuring out what to scratch, you can bet that Gemini Sun and Mercury aren't giving you much help, given Gemini is the master of multiplexing. On the other hand, if it's fear or past failures holding you back, maybe it's time to get past that and give it a go. That Grand Water Trine has plenty of emotional energy behind it to back you up. |
| 6-01-2018 | That Grand Water Trine persists and today for a brief time the Moon connects as well, making it into a kite. While this provides an emotional component, it could be a bit over-inflated and put you at odds with what you need the most. Doing something about your ideas versus just talking about them will require some changes, most likely relating to being more organized. This change might be the most difficult part, making it decision time regarding what's most important. Wanting your cake and eating it, too, works like that. |
| 6-02-2018 | That Grand Water Trine lingers on and is probably about as close to exact as it's going to get. If your birthday is right around 5 - 7 of April or February; 6 - 8 of January, March, May or June; 8 - 10 of July, August, September, November or December; or 9 - 11 October, your natal Sun is involved in some way. See your June horoscopes for more detail regarding house placement and potential effects. Nothing is a stronger motivator than your emotions and that's exactly what Water promotes. At the same time, logical Air signs are also nudging you toward action. The only thing that's probably holding you back is the past. The question you thus need to answer is why? |
| 6-03-2018 | That Grand Water Trine is still out there for a few more days, ramping up your emotional energy, even if it's a tad nerve-wracking, if you're slightly out of your comfort zone. If so, you can probably find some encouragement from your friends, who can see things more logically and objectively. Don't let them blow smoke at you, however, which they may try to do. However, if they help build your confidence, then that is a good thing and probably what you need. Taking action in new territory can be scary, but unless you're entirely satisfied with the status quo, a change is the only thing that will bring improvement. |
| 6-04-2018 | Are you sensing all that emotional energy out there lately? Emotions are what motivate us more than logic and memories associated with them last much longer. Today, a change of course is likely as you realize how strongly you feel about something that just might defy logic. However, intuition, which draws from your subconscious, often has information you're not aware of that relates to your decisions, so listen to what your heart is telling you. Chances are it's more accurate than you realize. |
| 6-05-2018 | The Sun and Mercury are conjunct today and at some point will be cazimi, which is a very tight conjunction where the Sun is involved. This tends to overcome the planet's influence, suggesting that your own ideas could overcome any logic behind them. This pair is also part of a course adjustment loop or learning triangle, suggesting that anything unclear or confusing needs to be rectified, after which progress will resume. A chance encounter with someone from your past, perhaps a former lover, is possible, but no matter how pleasant it may seem, don't forget what you're no longer together. There's a lot of interesting potential to all this, but just make sure you fully understand the situation. |
| 6-06-2018 | Now that the Grand Trine has dissipated we have a Course Adjustment Loop for a few days, telling you that if you're hitting a brick wall, you probably need to change your route. This is most likely to apply if you're not seeing things clearly, are confused, or refusing to see the facts. Depending on what the issue is, you may have a very miniscule chance of getting what you want if you persist in the same manner. If something related to the past is what's holding you back, it's time to resolve it, even though that may not be a pleasant task. Also bear in mind that later this month Mars is stationing retrograde, something that only happens every two years or so, when much of what occurs during that time (as well as the shadow period, which is in effect now) will either mean nothing or be a waste of time, energy, and money. Kinda makes you want to just stay home and watch old movies, doesn't it? |
| 6-07-2018 | Getting rid of any confusion is still required if you want to get anywhere. If you're of two minds about something, then maybe it's decision time. Nothing will keep you from getting what you want faster than not knowing what that happens to be. Getting in touch with what you really need at the deepest level is favored today, but something from the past, perhaps an old hurt or disappointment, could be holding you back. If someone or something like an organization is keeping you so busy you don't have time to pursue what's most important to you, maybe it's time to reassess how you spend your time. |
| 6-08-2018 | Processing and understanding past situations and events can bring beneficial change, especially if you've not been seeing things clearly or the entire picture. Mental or emotional blocks in one area can keep you from progressing in others as well. One of the hardest things to accept is that your belief system may be flawed or inaccurate. As they say, "the truth hurts"; but it hurts more to continue believing a lie. With the Sun and Mercury in data-driven Gemini, use this energy to discover a new truth based on facts. |
| 6-09-2018 | The Moon is kicking off a few things as she moves toward being void-of-course later today. Getting a grip on an old issue, probably related to family, love, or money, is possible as you maintain objectivity and gather the facts. Delusions and self-deception can be painful to confront, but essential unless you want to remain stuck in the mud. There are times to listen to your head and times to yield to your emotions. Today look like a day to tune into your head and base your actions on logic. |
| 6-10-2018 | Part of you might want to dig in your heels and stick to your guns, thanks to that Taurus Moon combined with a streak of rebellion thanks to Uranus, but being stubborn at this point can hold you back from rebuilding some part of your life or attitude on a stronger foundation than it's been in the past. Some change is easier than others, the motivation behind it often making the difference. Considering the long-term consequences of an action or decision versus momentary satisfaction usually helps put things in their proper perspective. The thought may be annoying, but if it's correct, you should follow it. |
| 6-11-2018 | Irritations that relate to being stubborn and unwilling to accept the facts combined with some emotional need are likely today. Wanting to take control and get what you want is likely to be your preferred outcome, but a less dramatic approach is likely to be more successful. Remember that those who fail to learn from history (i.e. the past) are doomed to repeat it. The Universe does a really good job of rubbing your nose in it as many times as necessary until you learn what you're supposed to. Refusing to recognize the facts doesn't change the facts. |
| 6-12-2018 | There are some rather nice aspects out there today that suggest an easy energy flow, though there may be a couple hiccoughs. One is likely to involve getting approval for something, which is going to require slightly more data than you currently have on hand. The other is likely to be an argument between your heart and your checkbook over something you really, really think you have to have. Learning from experience can help you make the correct course changes as well as those deemed necessary by the powers-that-be. Nonetheless, it looks like a reasonably fruitful day. |
| 6-13-2018 | New Moon today in Gemini, which is described in your monthly horoscope. Mercury has gone into Cancer, not exactly his best placement, where emotion trumps logic and could make you more upset than the situation warrants if someone or something stands in your way. Being creative and innovative, which can sometimes defy logic, is favored, however, and may help you get what you want. Visualizing what you want is still favored, but you're going to have to find some time for quiet contemplation to figure out what that is, if you don't know already. |
| 6-14-2018 | Conflicts or arguments are likely today as both Mercury, who rules communications, and the Moon, who rules emotion, chug along through Cancer, a Water sign that also promotes emotional expression. These two oppose Saturn, representative of authority and conservative views, and are quincunx Mars, none of which looks very friendly. Breaking away from something preventing you from getting what you want doesn't look too promising, though thinking it through from a different perspective could help. |
| 6-15-2018 | Lots of oppositions out there today, which typically indicate the need for balance and compromise. Being a bit emotional or not seeing things clearly is part of the problem. Relationships are likely to encounter some bumps over love or money, most likely involving one or both parties being self-absorbed, i.e. selfish. Power trips are probably part of it, wanting to control the other person and pound him or her into your particular idea of expectations, which are probably way off. Sticking to your guns isn't going to get what you want so think about it long and hard whether you're being reasonable. |
| 6-16-2018 | Yikes! Today's chart reminds me of the string game, cat's cradle. Hopefully it won't come out the same, but it doesn't look very friendly. Being rebellious and stubborn is all over it with lots of head-butting with authority figures and significant others. Making progress definitely requires some adjustments or it will be a catch-22. Think about Superman and the concept of an irresistible force and immovable object. What happens when one meets the other? Perhaps today you'll find out. |
| 6-17-2018 | Things are still pretty crazy out there, the Moon still stirring a few things up but going void-of-course once she sextiles the Sun. This could bring some clarity to your argument as well as some attention, though all that conflict and need for course changes remain, whether or not you prevail. Think about it. If you don't want to give in, but the other person doesn't, either, then what are you going to do? You'll either have to comprise after all or go off on a new path without whatever it was you wanted. In a few days some inspiration may come your way so you're probably better off to just cruise for now. |
| 6-18-2018 |
Whoa! That Grand Water Trine has formed, bringing a burst of emotional energy, and for a short time today, the Moon facilitates a Grand Earth Trine, introducing a huge burst of practical energy to go with it. These two elements complement each other nicely according to "Earth stabilizes Water and Water nourishes Earth." This can help mediate some of those conflicts out there, other than the ones that are too saturated in ego to listen to what the cosmos is trying to say. Take some time today to ponder these energies and see what they say to you. |
| 6-19-2018 | There's still a lot of cosmic action out there with that Grand Water Trine still active and channeling lots of emotional energy which could be very useful for inspiration and additional insights into your beliefs, thoughts, dreams, and aspirations. Venus and Mars are opposing, which suggests relationship issues as well as some opposition between what you want versus what you should do with adjustments required which mean going back to the drawing board. Paying attention to past lessons and situations, especially any that haven't been properly resolved, is emphasized as well as an innovative look at how you can handle your responsibilities in a unique way. |
| 6-20-2018 | Water signs are still in cahoots and stirring things up, old unresolved issues possibly simmering in the background. Today the Moon brings a course adjustment loop, a.k.a., learning triangle, where a change of course could alleviate a problem you've encountered with someone who may be holding something over your head. Getting what you want requires balance and compromise, perhaps because what you want is a bit too grandiose, at least in the eyes of the person you're petitioning. Try to see things through the other person's knothole and see what it looks like from their perspective. |
| 6-21-2018 | Happy Solstice! Then again, maybe not. Today the Sun goes into Cancer, marking the start of a new season. This is what cardinal signs are all about with Cancer and Capricorn marking the solstices while Aries and Libra mark the equinoxes. As such, they begin a new cycle with the ingress chart possessing the energy that will permeate the coming three months. There is a lot going on so it looks as if it will be a busy time. The Grand Water trine is still there, so its emotional influence will continue. Oppositions related to unresolved issues and what could be a heavy hand of authority will be worth watching, the ongoing dialog in relationships still in focus as well as the battle for what you need and want versus what you get. An adjustment is in order, perhaps toning down your expectations a bit. you may want to do something, even if it's wrong, then have to backtrack or undo it later, considering Mars is poised to go retrograde in a few days, which will linger into October via the shadow period. This suggests minimal progress, so bear that in mind. Remember the somewhat negative but apropos adage, "Expect nothing and you'll never be disappointed." |
| 6-22-2018 | A new aspect pattern has formed between Venus, Jupiter, and Mars called a T-square. This tends to represent a bit of a stand-off and tension. In this case, it suggests inflated expectations in relationships which are going to cause a stalemate. Talking about it may illuminate that both of you are being unreasonable as the folly is said out loud. Most likely some of the problems hail from the past and were never taken care of properly, so if old issues come up, don't sweep them back under the rug. Breaking away from old patterns is what you need to do and rebuild new ones that are more positive. |
| 6-23-2018 | That T-square is getting a turbo-boost from the Moon today, which doesn't bode well for relationships. Unrealistic expectations are definitely having a bearing on the situation with needs, wants, and responsibilities getting in the way. When everything seems to be going crazy it's common to want to control what you can. However, if you expect to control the people in your life, you are likely to have a rude awakening at some point. |
| 6-24-2018 | Taking a break to chill out may be what's required to resolve the tension brewing over old unresolved issues or, if they're not a problem, attempting in vain to control a situation. Balance and compromise are called for, but could be in short supply. Expressing yourself with too much force and emotion isn't going to help, unless it's done with some degree of restraint and sticking to the facts, neither of which has a lot of cosmic help. These conflicts may not be with another person but could also be internal, within yourself, especially if you're not sure what you want or are caught between what you want versus what you need to do. |
| 6-25-2018 | The challenges remain, giving you some time to address them. The Full Moon is coming in a few days, which is likely to be the culmination, ending, or start of a new phase, though it may only bring insights with regard to what needs to be restructured or redone. You may get a few hints along those lines today, which you won't like, but don't dig in your heels too far because it's probably inevitable. Some things are worth fighting for and others aren't. Make sure you know the difference or you may waste a lot of energy that could be put to better use somewhere else. |
| 6-26-2018 | Mars stations retrograde today, which doesn't bode well for getting anything new completed in the coming months. Rather it's a time to go back, redo, and "re" anything that isn't working out. In other words, if something isn't working out as expected, now is the time to stop to take a look at it more closely, figure out what the problem is, and the rebuild or rectify it however you can. This is a time to be honest with yourself and recognize you don't know as much as you thought or perhaps misunderstood the parameters. Breaking from tradition may be required, or at least finding a better balance that what's existed in the past. |
| 6-27-2018 | Full Moon in Capricorn tonight, though it will actually be 28 June everywhere but the Americas since it occurs at nearly midnight Central Time. You can find out more about this lunation in the monthly horoscopes. It's main feature is another one of those course adjustment loops where it's time to make some changes if you're hitting a wall. Also note that dignified Saturn is conjunct the Moon, giving it a rather serious vibe. Saturn is also retrograde, a time to slow down and restructure some part of your life. Mars retrograde is also says to stop, go back, and redo. Thus, any progress this summer is likely to be actually a second attempt at something that either got set aside or didn't work the first time. Remember, timing is everything. |
| 6-28-2018 | That course adjustment loop that was part of the Full Moon will be around for another day or so, which gives you time to ponder and change course on anything that isn't moving as it should. However, bear in mind with both Mars and Saturn retrograde, that you may have to go back to square on and start from scratch. Another option, perhaps equally unpleasant, is bagging it entirely. The trick is to figure out if the approach was wrong or the target itself. Mercury is in the last degree of Cancer, placing your head and heart in similar proximity, which may help you figure it out. Once Mercury goes into Leo, your ego may not let you quit. |
| 6-29-2018 | Course changes and Catch-22 situations predominate the cosmic scene these days, which actually helps you figure out what needs to be rebuilt per Saturn retrograde or redone per Mars retrograde. Like they say, "If you keep on doing what you've always done, you'll keep on getting what you've always got." So, if you don't like the status quo, something needs to change. If you do, think positive toward making it even better because chances are things are changing unbeknownst to you that will affect your situation. Nothing in the entire universe is static, so change, whether or not you like it, is inevitable. |
| 6-30-2018 | If you've had any crazy ideas lately, you've probably discovered that acting on them isn't easy. However, this doesn't mean you should give up or that they're impossible, only that they won't be handed to you. Innovative planning, a strong belief in what you want to accomplish, and a willingness to put your heart into it and leave the past behind to set out on a new path are all you need. Determination and clear intent eventually pay off. Just remember that given the current cosmic climate, now is the time to plan and redo as opposed to starting an entirely new endeavor. You may even have to undo a few things first, depending on your situation. |
| 7-01-2018 | Things are already stirred up quite a bit and the Moon is adding a few more tweaks. You may go head to head with a friend or associate over something you feel strongly about and can't quite see their point of view. Misunderstandings are likely to initiate the friction, but introspection is going to help with several of the disturbances out there today. Recognize anything that is holding you back and what you need to acknowledge to move forward. Undoing and redoing are the theme with Mars retrograde, but breaking away from old thought patterns and ideas are definitely a challenge to contend with before you can. |
| 7-02-2018 | Nothing much has changed other than the Moon getting ready to go into Pisces, which will start the cycle of stirring things up again. The emphasis on changes of direction, especially if you're between a rock and a hard place, remains. Clinging to the past is another faux pas, or arguing with an authority figure and expecting him or her to see your side of things. Sorry, that's not the way it works, especially if there's a bit too much ego-centrism involved. Mars retrograde is putting the brakes on just about everything and telling you to go back and start over. |
| 7-03-2018 | There's another Grand Water Trine out there today, courtesy of the Sun, Jupiter, and Neptune. That potential tsunami of emotional energy could be very useful for accessing some inspiration regarding those changes you need to make. Today's chart is also slashed with a rather interesting "S" or backwards "Z" that connects Uranus, Mercury, Mars, and Jupiter. The best way to delineate its message is that conflicts between what you think you want, which is likely a bit rebellious, versus going after whatever it, which you're probably pretty passionate about, calls for balance between action and ideas, which could be a bit too egocentric. |
| 7-04-2018 | That Grand Water Trine will be hanging in there for another day or so, continuing to imbue everything with an emotional wash. Emotions cement memories associated with them and can also be powerful motivators. However, depending on what you're motivated to pursue, unless it's a revisit, redo, go back, or second chance, you'd best wait until Mars quits doing the backstroke. Unexpected change or restructuring is likely as well, so don't be surprised if you hear about a reorg at work, though unless this is to return to the way it was previously, is somewhat doomed to failure thanks to the Red Planet. |
| 7-05-2018 | An Aries Moon isn't exactly a peaceful influence toward resolving an argument, but sometimes getting everything out in the open, even if the discussion's volume goes up, can ultimately bring resolution. There's a lot of push-back against the status-quo, which usually indicates that something isn't working. The Grand Water Trine is still fueling the emotional side of things, so you're likely to feel strongly about whatever it is you're trying to achieve. Disturbances and interruptions, however, are inevitable, so you're not likely to get as far as you'd like. One of those days best filed under "the best laid plans of mice and men." |
| 7-06-2018 | Today we have the Grand Water Trine, a T-Square, and Triangle of Potential out there, all vying for your attention. More than likely, there's a fair amount of emotion attached along with a crisis of sorts where getting started on an idea is encountering multiple roadblocks. Don't lose hope, the astrological climate right now is simply not conducive to making progress with something new. However, planning and rethinking are favored, so if you happen to come up with a new idea, the best you can do is write it down for later. Jumping in is likely to be a complete waste of time and money. Your time will come, but trust me when I say, now ain't it. |
| 7-07-2018 | Today the Taurus Moon gets together with Uranus, albeit briefly, to nudge you toward some serious and fundamental change. With the Cancer Sun starting to oppose Pluto, the cosmic climate is conducive toward deep introspection and further assessment of what you purpose on the planet is at this time in history. Taking action is still stymied by Mars retrograde, but this could be doing you a favor in the long run, preventing you from going off in the wrong direction. Emotions are still ramped up, but don't forget that emotions are not the same as intuition. In other words, sometimes they can be trusted, other times, not. Before you take any action, make sure you know the difference. |
| 7-08-2018 | That Taurus Moon is really stirring a few things up today, creating two possible paths, either of which has challenges and either of which could turn out nicely. One will depend on your imagination and vision for the outcome, the other more heartfelt. A proper balance between passion and security are required, with being too set in what you want, especially if it involves some selfishness, likely to hold things back. How much have you learned from the past? What you decide now will undoubtedly reflect it. |
| 7-09-2018 | The cosmic scene is a bit quieter today, though there's still a lot of emotional energy operating. Breaking away from restrictions is favored, but you need to do so with finesse so as not to trip over anything during your exit phase. You're still stalled moving on what you think you want, but you need to put it under the microscope to see if it lines up with what your core beliefs are saying and the long-term consequences. Mars has you driving with the brakes on for a reason. Listen up. |
| 7-10-2018 | Jupiter stations direct today, which may help get things moving, at least as much as possible considering the other things holding us back. This is another busy chart, this one dominated by a Grand Earth Trine, the Grand Water Trine that was around for a while now fading, meaning all the emotion stirred up earlier is now seeking stability in an unstable world. Seeing things clearly is difficult and most likely not to be trusted, likewise what you feel passionate about probably isn't logical. Balance between the past and present as well as thoughts and action are all important, or that preponderance of Earth and Water energy out there could turn into a regular bog. |
| 7-11-2018 | It's interesting that we had a Grand Water Trine for several days and now we have a Grand Earth Trine, as if we can now find some stable ground and security after floating around on a sea of emotion. There's a course adjustment loop out there that has a promising combination, i.e. Mercury handing out some thoughts, Jupiter providing passionate beliefs, and Neptune contributing inspiration, which looks as if it is what will bring about the change of course that will make it work. If you haven't yet confronted something from the past that is probably holding you back, the next few days should lend some cosmic energy to working it out. |
| 7-12-2018 | New Moon/Solar Eclipse today which you can learn more about in your monthly horoscope. This one brings some insights which could be useful in dealing with something from the past. A Grand Earth Trine is taking over, which can bring some new stability and practicality. Any beliefs that are holding you back because they're a bit too self-centered need to be adjusted. We all see the world through our own knothole to some degree, but at a certain point enough is enough. |
| 7-13-2018 | It's been a bit of a crazy summer so far with more to come. That waxing Grand Earth Trine should help you find some stability, perhaps somewhere you'd least expect it. You may change your thoughts about something, perhaps because you're forced to do so or relate it to something in the past through some inspiration. Pay particular attention to your dreams and what they're trying to tell you. Examine anything that is stuck for an alterative course. Unless what you're trying to accomplish falls in the "redo" category, chances are it won't turn out as expected. |
| 7-14-2018 | That Grand Earth Trine is still striving to attain stability in the face of potential chaos. However, often upsets are what motivate you to make a needed change and settled into a new routine. There are numerous quincunxes out there, all signally the need for a change of course or direction. In some cases, this will be a matter of attitude, of seeing things differently than before. Have you ever considered that you can change the past by remembering it in a different way? Even if it was a hard lesson, be grateful you learned something and progressed. Call it tuition and move on. Changing your attitude can change your life. |
| 7-15-2018 | Seeing things in a more compassionate way can help you confront the past and let it go. You'd be surprised how much past pain and suffering can go away when you accept it, then forgive yourself and any others involved. It's not a matter of ignoring it and expecting it to go away; you need to actively address and release it. Emotional burdens are often the heaviest to carry and hold you back in too many ways. You have much to gain by leaving them behind and the cosmic climate is trying to help you accomplish that. |
| 7-16-2018 | The Sun and Pluto are still in a dos-a-dos, Mercury in a tight quincunx with the God of the Underworld, driving your thoughts to the past. Are you licking old wounds or seeking new insights? Blaming or beating yourself up are both ineffective and aren't going to change anything. If it's a relationship issue, which would be pretty frequently the case, maybe it's time for some fundamental understanding of the emotional and mental process differences between the the guys and gals. Probably the best book I ever read on the subject was "Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus" by John Gray. I felt like he really nailed it, so you might want to check it out. |
| 7-17-2018 | The Grand Trine has broken up but some of the individual aspects are still hanging in there without any dramatic differences, at least for now. Ruminating on the past is still advised, especially if old baggage is holding you back in some way and the quest for security is still alive and well. Slowing down and reassessing your wants, needs, and ambitions are getting some cosmic help to get on the right track. If all is going splendidly in your life, just cruise along and enjoy the ride and what you've accomplished. You need to stop along the way to smell the figurative flowers, anyway, gratitude always appropriate. |
| 7-18-2018 | With the Moon in Libra, relationships come to mind, something that is the subject of my client's inquiries even more often than money. Annoyances due to differences of opinion could come your way today in this regard, the ability to see things clearly and, better yet, clearly through another's knothole, something to strive for. Changes in responsibility could be something to consider, though taking action on them are likely to be delayed for one reason or another. Another mantra I suggest for the next day or so is "Those who fail to learn from the past are doomed to repeat it." |
| 7-19-2018 | You head and heart are likely to be at odds, typical for a quarter-phase Moon. Unrealistic expectations with regard to a relationship look as if they could become issues over the next few days. Using the past as a reference point isn't always accurate, particularly if you weren't seeing things clearly. If you're being a bit too egocentric, this is almost surely the care. Mars retrograde is still stopping things up and halting progress in disruptive ways. So far it doesn't seem as if it's going to be a very productive summer, or winter as the case may be for those of you in the Southern Hemisphere. |
| 7-20-2018 | Hitting a wall when trying to pursue something you really, really, want is likely, but what you need to do is not be daunted, but balance out the dream with the practical, detailed means to get there. Being innovative is required and be especially careful not to be held back by past failures or naysayers. Now everyone should realize that some hopes are flat-out unrealistic, like basing your entire financial future on winning the lotto. Granted, someone will eventually win, but also remember that in general the lotto is a tax on people who are bad at math. Innovative planning is a much more reliable way to get somewhere, though visualizing the end result is a key element as well. |
| 7-21-2018 | The Moon and Jupiter are trying to help you deal with something that is bothering you which more than likely is that issue of having unrealistic expectations of either yourself or someone else. This could also relate to something you want that is a bit of a pipe dream. That doesn't mean it's impossible, only that you need to take an innovative approach. Starting anything now is not likely to turn out as expected. Mars is already doing the backstroke and saying to go back, undo, redo, or simply wait. It's a nuisance and probably disrupting your plans, but you don't know how this may ultimately help you. What's better, waiting or having to undo a false start? |
| 7-22-2018 | Before this day is over, the Sun will go into Leo, where he's exalted. This is certainly no revelation to those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, given that July and August are typically the hottest months of the year. Those of you in the Southern Hemisphere must roll your eyes at that, but that's what happens when the roots of astrology lie above the equator. Attitude adjustments are still favored, though a few annoyances may force the issue if you get a bit high and mighty with the wrong person. I don't know about you, but this Mars retrograde business is really getting pretty old. I have yet to talk to anyone this summer who feels as if they're moving forward. |
| 7-23-2018 | Boom! As soon as the Sun went into Leo he quickly opposed Mars over there in Aquarius. This could bring some issues related to friends or groups you're associated with, perhaps to the point you may decide it's not worth it and walk away. Past loves may come to mind these days, which is even more interesting with Mars retrograde which seems to say to stop, go back, or re-do. Before you hook back up with someone be sure to remember why it tanked the first time so you can make sure that's no longer a problem or it may be more of a "re-do" than you really want. |
| 7-24-2018 | Breakthroughs that allow you to move forward continue to be stuck, most likely requiring an annoying change to your plan. If you've been pushing for something for some time now and getting nowhere fast, this is likely part of your problem. We're in a cosmic bog of possible quicksand right now which suggests that struggling against it will only make you sink deeper. Don't give up by any means if it's a worthy goal, but bear in mind changes are required, that you're slightly off the target. Mercury goes retrograde in a few days which will help you rethink the situation. |
| 7-25-2018 | Change is not always welcome, but unless you are hopelessly enamored by the status quo, that will be what has to happen for things to improve. Leo is the sign on the 5th house of the zodiac where creativity, romance, entertainment, and speculation reside. Creativity is what you'll need to get things moving in the right direction again plus Mercury is slamming on the brakes ready to go retrograde, which is helpful for rethinking and reconsidering. Use it to go back to the drawing board, find any potential flaws, and polish it up. Remember, timing is everything and right now is the time to ponder and rebuild when Mars, Saturn, and Mercury are all doing the backstroke. |
| 7-26-2018 | Brace yourself, folks. Today Mercury stations retrograde, adding a bit more inertia to Mars' effect of driving with the brakes on. While Mars relates primarily to motivation and getting things done, Mercury is a bit more on the mental level, except for the fact her rules communications of all varieties and anything that moves. This will bring more ruminations about the past, particularly those that relate to love or money and things that may not have worked out in the past. There will be opportunities over the next few weeks to redefine your dreams, needs, and what you want more than anything. Course changes are inevitable. |
| 7-27-2018 | Another significant day astrologically today as the Full Moon is also a lunar eclipse, and reportedly of longer than usual duration. It won't be visible in the US or South America, but the rest of you will have plenty of time to watch it do its thing. Of course lunar eclipses aren't as dramatic as solar since they come more often. Nonetheless it's a "blood moon" which tends to have ominous implications these days. This one emphasizes the ongoing aspects, the Moon's conjunction with Mars retrograde throwing some of his sluggishness and lack of motivation in the mix. Lunar eclipses tend to have an emotional effect while the solar eclipse earlier this month was more likely to trigger events. Mercury stationed retrograde yesterday, throwing a sense of having to redo or revise in there, too. As if this summer has been enough fun as far as getting anything accomplished. |
| 7-28-2018 | If you're feeling a strong sense of inertia these days, no matter how much you want to break free and move, don't be surprised. There are challenges on one hand, help on the other, but getting from one to the other can prove to be a huge irritation, like getting stuck on the highway due to a wreck when you're trying to get to a party on the other side of town. Restructuring your entire plan in an innovative manner is really your best chance. The past is probably still tripping you up unless you learn what it's trying to tell you. There's a fine line between following your dreams when they're pipe dreams. Wishful thinking doesn't do it, you need to be able to truly visualize the result. |
| 7-29-2018 | Conflicts and annoyances are still out there and not going away in their entirety anytime soon. Mercury retrograde has been upon us for a few days now, so just a reminder not to buy anything with moving parts or electronic until it's over and, if possible, past the shadow period. The combination of that with Mars retrograde definitely isn't fortuitous. Repairs, redoing something, reconsidering, and re-planning your course are all fine. If you feel as if you're stuck in the mud or going nowhere fast you're not alone. Now's a favorable time to go back and resolve old issues, especially if they involve love or money and I can't think of many that don't. Now's a good time to chill out, re-evaluate your priorities and values, then wait until the cosmos is more cooperative. |
| 7-30-2018 | Yeah, yeah, I know, same-ol', same-ol. Communications about love and/or money that relate to the past are still active along with plenty of annoyances, which always tend to accompany such discussions. Or perhaps thoughts, if you're pondering the past. Breaking away from responsibility isn't easy, even if it's not a full-blown pipe dream, mostly because just about everything is stuck these days. The main caveat there is if it's a "redo", in which case, maybe it will work. Possibly even doing something in a different way, in other words, a new approach. If you still feel as if you're getting nowhere fast, believe me, honey, you're not alone. |
| 7-31-2018 | What you want versus what you get are still at odds, with boundaries and obstacles all over the place. If you feel stuck, you're not alone, since it seems as if the entire cosmic environment is in that mode of late. Today, use your intuition to go deep into your most heart-felt feelings to rethink what you want. If nothing else, try to remember a time when you really, really wanted something incredibly bad, then got it, and it was a huge disappointment or even not in your best interest in the long run. Make sure you are seeing things clearly and not obsessing on something big-time that simply is plain-out stupid. Everyone does this from time to time, so don't feel badly about it, but the universe is trying to save you trouble in the long run by forcing you to think it through. |
| 8-01-2018 | It's a new month per the totally honked up Gregorian calendar, but astrologically the cosmos is not impressed. In other words, not a whole lot has changed. Mercury retrograde is still nudging you toward looking at something from the past slightly differently, you're still obsessing on something you can't have, figuring out what you want to change is progressing but moving toward it is still stuck, and that Aries moon isn't doing anything for your patience. Things could be worse. It could be raining. But here in Central Texas, we'd be thrilled if it was raining.... (If you're not familiar with that quote, take a break for a laugh with the old movie "Young Frankenstein." Somehow it fits nicely with the cosmic climate lately.) |
| 8-02-2018 | Reviewing something related to the past and possibly changing your mind about it is favored. Remember that you can figuratively change your past by remembering it differently. For example, you let go an old hurt by viewing philosophically and writing it off to tuition as opposed to still pondering how to get suitable revenge, fun though that may be. There is so much negativity out there these days, the more you can avoid, the better. There's an odd little two-step going on between Saturn and Mars, both retrograde, and Uranus that implies making progress on something is going to hit a wall from whoever needs to approve it. Use Mercury's internalized vibes to figure out how to revise it so it will fly. |
| 8-03-2018 | Learning from the past is still emphasized, even though this may be a challenge to accept if it violate your deepest hopes and dreams. If your dream depends on someone else's free will, you'd best acknowledge that and use that as a gauge for its likelihood. If it somehow violates the laws of physics, that, too should probably be dismissed before you waste any more energy on it. Changing direction is seldom easy without a huge reward waiting at the end, but restructuring what you'd like that reward to be may help you accept reality. If you're beating a dead horse, maybe it's time to figure that out. If you're not, then recognize things are in an idle mode right now, so use it to make sure all your ducks are in a row. |
| 8-04-2018 | Changing your perceptions of a past experience is still encouraged, either for your peace of mind or personal growth. Innovation in rebuilding something that is currently stuck is also favored. This doesn't mean that you'll immediately get unstuck, but it will be a good start. Being stubborn about what you want is still not going to work, at least for now, so save your breath if it involves trying to talk someone else into doing your bidding. You may think or wish you were royalty but chances are you're not, so that simply ain't gonna work, honey. |
| 8-05-2018 | Today is a favorable one to have a heart-to-heart talk with someone close to you about love or money. While they may tell you to pack sand or point out all the reasons you're off your rocker, it will still be a good thing to get it out in the open. They probably wonder why you've been in a bad mood lately, so you can clear that up, at least. Freedom of numerous varieties is still being held back, Mars retrograde a major show-stopper this summer. Remember that those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it, no matter which scale you're talking about. Perhaps it's time for a reminder of the mantra "What you allow will continue." If the shoe fits, wear it. |
| 8-06-2018 | For a few days we have one of those course adjustment loops, a.k.a. learning triangle. As a reminder, this is one of those energies that addresses when something isn't working as expected and you need to change directions, after which things will proceed more easily. This really isn't anything new, because such adjustments have been screaming for attention for quite some time and Mercury and Mars retrograde are both also emphasizing the need to go back, rethink, and redo. Restructuring and some innovation are required with no apparent progress likely for a while, but it's a great time to figure a few things out and plan your next move. |
| 8-07-2018 | If you haven't yet figured out what needs to change, the clock is ticking. There are indicators all over the place today with Mercury retrograde trying to get you to rethink or re-evaluate something from your past which you are seeing strictly through your own knothole. Furthermore today Uranus stations retrograde, which tends to make his already-unpredictable energy even more erratic. He's part of one Course Adjustment Loop (CAL) or Learning Triangle telling you to restructure something related to love and/or money. A second CAL has a similar message to what your parents probably told you when you asked for a new Porsche for high school graduation. If you were lucky enough to get one back then, perhaps now those same tactics aren't working as well. If you don't grow up voluntarily, the Universe, more specifically Saturn, will usually do the job. |
| 8-08-2018 | There are three distinct Course Adjustment Loops out there today, five if you count the Sun-Mercury conjunction separately. If that's not a humungous hint from the Universe to make some changes, I don't know what is, though the coup de grace is likely to be the eclipse coming in a few days. Relationships are somewhat strained, but it's a favorable time to talk things out. Expectations can be HUGE issues. If they're not openly expressed early, it may take years before they bite, but they surely will. Responsibilities, in other words who's supposed to do what, is another biggie. Defining responsibilities as evenly as possible is another must for a harmonious relationship. |
| 8-09-2018 | The cosmic energy is really scrambled up, a suitable prelude to the solar eclipse coming up in a few days. Eclipses tend to pack a bigger punch than the usual lunation, their effects sometimes noticeable before they actually happen or lingering a while after, at least the clean-up phase. See your monthly horoscope for more details on this family of eclipses. Acknowledging something isn't working or should at least be improved continues to be the ongoing message. This is intuitively obvious when you consider the state of the world. Chances are there's nothing you can do about that directly, but instead do what you can to be a better person. If everyone would do that, just think of how much better the world would be. Getting rid of your own anger, whatever it's directed toward, is a good place to start. |
| 8-10-2018 | Those quirky quincunxes are still out there and about to be punted home by the solar eclipse tomorrow. If you haven't yet gotten a grip on what you need or want to change about your life, then this lunation could be just the help you need. Today could well be a preamble of what to expect tomorrow, so take a few moments to look around and figure out what's going on around you and in your life, then when it needs to go from here. Are your relationships shipshape? What about your job and career path? Are you finances in order? Are your goals defined or just floating just beyond reach? Whatever you want, get a clear picture of it so you can head in that direction with the cosmic boost coming your way tomorrow. |
| 8-11-2018 | All righty then, the day has arrived for a solar eclipse, albeit partial, that will creep across the northern polar regions and down the coast of China. No one I know will be viewing this one, but the astrological effects are another story. Supposedly the effects are strongest beneath its path, so there are too many who need to worry about that. However, all those admonitions to make some changes are getting tromped into place, so use that energy to redefine some part of your life with which you are not satisfied. Mercury and Mars are still retrograde, so it's still a time to rethink, revise, re-do, look back, and reset, but if you give it some effort, at this point you should at least be able to identify what those steps need to be, which is half the battle. |
| 8-12-2018 | The opportunity to learn from the past is still out there for another day, so take advantage of it. Lessons you don't learn get repeated. Trust me on that one. The urge to take action on something that is driving you crazy should reduce somewhat in the next day or so as Mars backs into Capricorn. Remember he's all about going back to square one and starting over, retracing your steps of a failed endeavor, or getting ready to try again. Pipe dreams are still crashing, or should be. Remember, quit beating that dead horse, whether it's a relationship or other project. |
| 8-13-2018 | Those tight aspect pattern a.k.a. do-loops have broken up, which releases some of the tension and energy that you've been dealing with lately. That, alone, should be good news. We're still dealing with delays and do-overs, but that gives you time to get your bearings regarding where you want to go from here. Getting used to the idea you may not always get your way is probably still annoying, but at some point everyone needs to learn they're not the center of the Universe, even if you're a Leo ruled by the Sun. The Sun may be the center of our solar system, but not the entire galaxy, by a long shot, much less the Universe. Get over it. |
| 8-14-2018 | With both Venus in her dignity in Libra, which she rules, as well as the Moon, this looks like a good relationship day, except a matter of how the responsibilities are distributed could be an issue. If one of you is doing more than the other, now may be the time to get things balanced before the overloaded person goes ballistic. Expecting another person to take care of all your needs with nothing in return ends once you hit middle school, people. This is one area where what you want versus what you get could be lightyears apart. |
| 8-15-2018 | Mercury retrograde is still trying to convince you to rethink some of what you really, really think you need to have, which is more than likely unrealistic at best and downright delusional at worst. If you are basing a relationship on getting whatever this happens to be, then you are likely to be sorely disappointed. Rebuilding your hopes and dreams based on what you actually need vs. want is highly advised. Remember, people in Hell want ice water. |
| 8-16-2018 | With Mars back in Capricorn, sign of his exaltation, the implications are that you'll be able to figure a few things out with regard to anything you need to do over, restart, or rework. Mars is all about action and ambition, but can be a bit impulsive. Capricorn is all about discipline and structure, so if you haven't been able to figure out what needs to be done, this should be helpful. Around ten days from now, he stations direct, which will help as well for getting back on track. It seems as if the summer has flown by with little to show for it, which isn't surprising with both Mars and Mercury doing the backstroke. However, there are times when reassessing the status quo is necessary. |
| 8-17-2018 | This is a favorable day for reviewing the past, releasing anything that is holding you back, either mentally or emotionally, and figuring out where you want to go from here. Opportunities to discuss the past with someone you care about may arise, though it may simply be a matter of rethinking old situations and seeing them in a different light. That is what wisdom and maturity is all about, resetting priorities, understanding, and no longer being a slave to the past. |
| 8-18-2018 | Halleluia, today, albeit late, Mercury stations direct. It's been a long, rough haul this time, at least for yours truly, especially with this being coincident with Mars, who will start behaving again in just over a week. Breaking away from anything that makes you feel trapped is still favored as well as fantasizing about what you really want, though what you want and what you get are not likely to converge without some serious revisions. Talking such things over with someone close to you is a good idea, so long as you can be fair and not too ego-centric. |
| 8-19-2018 | Now that Mercury is direct and it may be easier to think clearly, you need to look once again at whatever it is that you're having a hard time letting go. This could be a belief system or something you've been passionate about, but may not be based in reality. Dreams are good and can sometimes direct you properly, but other times you're simply not seeing things as they really are. Take a philosophical look at the situation and try to discount any selfishness from the equation. If there's any chance you're "shoulding" on yourself, you need to quit that as well. If you want something really, really badly, is it because you really need it or just want to look better? Is it pride or necessity? |
| 8-20-2018 | Uranus and Saturn, both retrograde, are in lockstep lately, binding together energies which tend to be somewhat diametrically opposed. Saturn is about conservatism, tradition, structure, responsibility, and authority while Uranus relates to rebellion, breakthroughs, breakups, explosion, innovation, and technology. With those two connected for a fairly long duration, no telling what that will bring. It would certainly be nice if opposing forces out there started to cooperate but I wouldn't hold my breath on that one. A change of direction is likely that involves backing up and redoing, which could turn out to relate in an interesting way. |
| 8-21-2018 | There's some strong adjustment energy out there today between the Sun and Mars, suggesting a restart is on the way. This is something you are determined to get and are willing to do whatever is necessary to do so. Relationship clashes over the past are ramping up and probably a topic of conversation. A host of ongoing issues keep simmering out there that are going to turn out differently than you may think or want. |
| 8-22-2018 | The breaking up of existing structure and subsequent rebuilding is a definite ongoing theme with that long-term trine between Saturn and Uranus, both in the same degree of their respective signs. If they're hitting your chart you'll really feel it, otherwise probably be able to see it around you. Annoyances within one or more relationships, especially where one person is not prone to compromise, are likely, and will require a change of direction. This is the last chance for cosmic help figuring out that directional shift being promoted by the Sun and retrograde Mars. Something needs to be redone, revisited, or put in "pause" mode. Do you know what it is? |
| 8-23-2018 | The Sun went into Virgo today and immediately created a nice Grand Earth Trine with Uranus and Saturn. This will only be in effect for a few days, but while it is put it to good use for grounding yourself in some way. It's been a crazy few months, but gradually hopefully coming around as Mercury has stationed direct with Mars to follow in less than a week. Venus is next up in the retrograde game, but not until October. We've been bombarded by internalized energy for quite a while with a bit more to come. It should be interesting for most of January and all of February when no planets are retrograde. This month has had as many as six, which has left its mark IMHO. |
| 8-24-2018 | There's quite a bit of diversity in the Cosmic Soup today, so choose your elixir, or poison, as the case may be. If you want something, perhaps obsessively, and have to get the approval of several to get it, your chances aren't very good unless you come forward with more realistic expectations. Old relationships are still hovering out there for review and perhaps closure, while the newly-formed Grand Earth Trine is ready to show you what needs to be done to make the necessary changes to build a firmer foundation, perhaps in a unique manner. |
| 8-25-2018 | That Grand Earth Trine is partile (all in the same degree of their respective signs), making it about as strong as it's going to get. What do you need to do to ground yourself? How can you be more precise, more financially or emotionally secure, more responsible? While these may not be your favorite sports, they are actions that can increase you sense of well-being, even if they take some effort. Kind of like going to work in the morning isn't necessarily fun, but it's nice to pay your bills. One of those course adjustment loops is out there as well, which will help you identify what's working and nudge you toward appropriate change. This is likely to be a true change, so depending on past experience isn't likely to be the answer, especially if relationships are involved. |
| 8-26-2018 | Full Moon today in Pisces, creating a kite pattern from the Grand Earth Trine to give it a bit more pizazz. The lunation adds opportunities for inspiration regarding whatever it is you need to do. You can learn more about how this lunation will affect you in the monthly horoscopes, which will identify the natural house affected for your sign. This is a rather nice looking energy pattern loaded with promise, hope, and opportunities to change your thinking about something you've probably been obsessing on to no avail. Letting go of the past is still a challenge, but most likely involved if you want to move forward. |
| 8-27-2018 | I don't know about you, but I'm pretty happy that Mars is stationing direct today. I've felt as if I was stuck in the mud for months and I'm ready to move on, or at least get ready to, given we have a shadow period for a while. Nonetheless, this should be an overall energy improvement. If you have not already done so, get in touch with what needs to change about what you want. What control issues are part of the issue? If you're hoping to control another person, there is no morally legitimate way to do that; the only one you have the God-given right to control is yourself. Focus on that and the rest will fall into place. |
| 8-28-2018 | Today is a good one for obtaining new insights into something from the past, perhaps allowing you to see it in a different manner. This is especially helpful for things that have been painful, often allowing them to be more easily forgiven and let go. When they say time heals all wounds, it's often as we progress and see things through the lens of time. If this has been one of your stumbling blocks in some area, this, combined with Mars now moving forward again, should help you do so with less baggage. |
| 8-29-2018 | The cosmic impetus to see something from the past in a new or different way is still out there, so put it to good use, particularly if something has been bothering you. If it's something that simply rubs you the wrong way, try to look at it with a more philosophical approach. If it involves another person, try to see things through their knothole for your own understanding, even if you don't agree with it. Understanding another person is not playing with a full deck can alleviate a lot of frustration. Bear in mind that some transits can cause people to flip out and act in a totally irrational manner. |
| 8-30-2018 | The Universe is still nudging you toward seeing something from the past in a more responsible and perhaps less egocentric way. Continuing to feel hurt or offended over some past issue only hurts you and deters your own personal growth. An attitude adjustment can do wonders, even if you still you were wronged. Taking the higher ground does tend to give you an advantage of seeing things more clearly. As they say, living well is the best revenge. |
| 8-31-2018 | The aspects that have been out there for quite a while are gradually dissipating, so be prepared for an energy shift over the next few days. The only one that's persisting is the trine between Saturn and Uranus, two very different energies, that could be helping you rebuild something different. Sticking to your guns on what you want is still meeting resistance, especially if its too over-the-top, showing you probably haven't learned anything from the past. Learning from the past is most likely the key toward making any progress. Ignore that at the peril of what you want. |
| 9-01-2018 | The Moon is stirring up a few things today, which is what she does as the ruler of function. When you consider she also rules your emotions, it's not surprising, because more often than not how we feel motivates us to action. Accepting new ideas is not likely, unless you happen to love/respect the person providing the input. This might not change your overall attitude, but it might at least help you see things differently enough to make a concession or two. Standoffs these days are fairly common but that may improve a little as we get into detail-oriented Virgo, who excels at dissipating delusions. |
| 9-02-2018 | The Sun is starting to oppose Neptune, suggesting the demise of any delusions that can fall to closer examination. Communications are looking reasonably good regarding love or money, though those communications are likely to involve some arguments if they involve someone of the opposite sex. Learning from the past is enhanced, however, making it a favorable time to take those old unresolved issues and write them off as tuition. |
| 9-03-2018 | The Moon could force a few changes today as logic trumps whatever else has been prevailing of late with regard to that past issue. The guys and gals are still at a standoff as well as taking any action related to love or money, even though communication lines are open. Seeing things more clearly in the light of day is likely to erase any delusional thinking, which could solve a few issues in and of itself, provided all blinders are off. Making fundamental changes in the foundation of what you're trying to build continue, but major remodels take time. |
| 9-04-2018 | Inflated hopes or delusions are still evaporating in the light of scrutiny, showing that the devil really is in the details. Some nasty stuff is likely to be uncovered, so keep a figurative gas mask handy as well as the ability to be philosophical about it to avoid a total meltdown. Those relationship standoffs are starting to move, but not necessarily in an overly friendly manner just yet, unless you keep an open mind and are willing to make a few adjustments. |
| 9-05-2018 | As Mercury, the natural ruler of communications, is quincunx Mars from the last degree of Leo, a fixed sign, the implication is that this could be your last chance to straighter out an ongoing argument through discussion and a few compromises. Clinging to the past isn't going to help unless you're willing to look at it philosophically as a lesson you may be a little late absorbing. There's a lot of emotional energy out there today via a brief Grand Water Trine courtesy of the Moon, but emotions tend to be motivating, so use them to clear any issues out of your way that are acting as shackles. Seeing things more clearly may be uncomfortable, but if the shoe fits, wear it. |
| 9-06-2018 | Saturn stations direct today and is driving her message home ever further by being part of a Grand Earth Trine. If you've felt stuck, which certainly wasn't helped by both Mercury and Mars also being retrograde a while back, this should help release the information and ideas you need to start making progress at last. Taking control of what you want and building a path leading to it is favored, though any dreams need to be balanced with reality. There's a chance relationship issues may be involved, particularly someone who's not as supportive as you've prefer. This could definitely create some obstacles. You can find more information about this station in the Monthly Horoscopes at valkyrieastrology.com. |
| 9-07-2018 | The Grand Earth Trine is partile today with Uranus, Mercury, and Saturn all at 2 degrees of their respective signs. I would certainly hope that all the Grand Earth Trine energy we've seen the past month or so will bring some much needed accurate information supporting innovative change and rebuilding some of what's broken. Unless you're absolutely delighted with you life, it's in your best interest to think about what needs to change to bring you closer to the happiness you seek. Relationship issues, particularly between partners, are still active, but learning from past mistakes is as well, so put it to good use. With both the Sun and Mercury in Virgo, where the latter is about as happy as he can get, information gathering and planning are getting some nice cosmic support. |
| 9-08-2018 | The Moon is giving that Grand Earth Trine some extra kick today while that attempt to clarify something continues to get a boost as well. If you're still have issues with someone of the opposite sex, that's hanging in there far longer than expected since Mars is taking his time moving forward again. That square with Venus has been quite persistent in prompting what could be a battle regarding who's responsible for what. This is certain not a new issue with plenty of opinions and suggestions out there. The most important part, however, is that a dialog take place that avoids stereotypes and is open to innovative solutions, though putting the dog in charge of paying the bills may be a bit out there. |
| 9-09-2018 | New Moon today that can connect you to your past as well lend you a hand in taking control of something you believe in and want once you acknowledge anything about it that's entirely unrealistic. Disappointments related to love or money could come as a surprise, but taking responsibility will help mediate any consequences. Seeing things as they really are and grounding yourself are favored with this lunation in practical Virgo. More information can be found in the monthly horoscopes on the website. |
| 9-10-2018 | The New Moon is promoting some changes of direction, perhaps welcome at this point because you're getting tired of hitting your head against a brick wall. Rebelling against the powers-that-be often comes down to finally giving in as you recognize you don't have as much influence as you'd like to think. Part of the chaos evident in the world today is due to too many people wanting their own way and lacking the ability to compromise or even coexist. This is pretty strong on the collective level and can only change one heart at a time. |
| 9-11-2018 | Mars has finally moved out of Capricorn and is in Aquarius where he's formed a T-square with Venus and Uranus, suggesting relationship upsets, which have been brewing for some time now. Misunderstandings are still profuse, communications challenged, unless you can be objective and philosophical about the prevailing argument. Power trips are likely, too, which are either delusional or wishful thinking. The only think you can begin to hope to control in a relationship is yourself and your reactions. Controlling anyone else is an illusion that will eventually backfire. Emotional manipulation is dishonesty in its most insidious form. |
| 9-12-2018 | That T-square comprising Venus, Mars, and Uranus is likely to be stirring up a few relationship changes based on conversations that have been brewing for a while. Taking responsibility in whichever way it happens to apply is one way to resolve what is probably an uncomfortable situation. Learning from the past, perhaps uncovering something big that was previously covered up, is favored, with it advisable to go through it with the proverbial fine-toothed comb. For any of you who don't recall the origin of that expression, it relates to combing nits, or lice eggs, out of the hair of someone infested by these nasty critters. Pretty apropos as an analogy, n'est-ce pas? |
| 9-13-2018 | What do you want, more than anything else? What are you willing to do to get it? Do you think it's going to take some sacrifices and facing reality to do so? Do you think past lessons coupled with new information may be helpful? If you're feeling stuck, answering those questions may help you get on track. Prioritizing is essential. Otherwise you're likely to drown in all the distractions out there compliments of your complex lifestyle that may be what's keeping you from attaining what you really want. It's hard to get it if you don't know what it is. Start by defining it in detail. Once you have that, the rest should be easy. |
| 9-14-2018 | Tension is still out there with regard to relationship issues with the potential high for just blowing it off, unless a satisfactory solution can be found to stabilize things and avoid a breakup. Strong feelings and the inflated needs, perhaps based on past experience, as fueling the issue and making it a target-rich environment for criticism. As usual, seeing things through your own knothole to the exclusion of any other view is going to exacerbate the situation until it reaches critical mass. For those of you who may not know what "critical mass" refers to, it's the amount of plutonium required to create a nuclear reaction and set off a bomb. You might want to think about that. |
| 9-15-2018 | Taking control and assuming responsibility are two different things. Don't confuse them. Controlling yourself and your own actions are fine, but if you think you can control someone else, good luck. Sure, emotional manipulation can do a lot, but bear in mind that impinging on another's free will is generally frowned upon with long-term consequences you may not like. Assuming responsibility for your own actions is a positive thing where you can still influence others, but in a way that's more socially acceptable if you're setting a good example. The main thing to remember is "The next time you're looking for someone to blame, start with a mirror." |
| 9-16-2018 | Accessing information that's previously been hidden or inaccessible is favored, so put it to good use. Being more structured or organized is still a possible solution to issues involving love or money, especially if you can learn from experience with regard to being unrealistic about your spending habits or your expectations. Relationships continue to be a bit tenuous unless you confront the real issues and work toward solutions. Occasionally there are no answers, at least easy ones, in which case it might turn out you're beating a dead horse. |
| 9-17-2018 | There's an interesting energy mix out there today, resolving conflict possible through either taking a philosophical approach or problem-solving structural approach, perhaps a combination of both. Learning from the past continues to be a theme which could be an admonition "If you keep on doing what you've always done, you'll keep on getting what you've always got." That's always easier said than done, however, as breaking old patterns is seldom easy, especially when they involve deeply ingrained personality traits and behavioral habits. Or to rub it in a little more via Einstein: "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results." |
| 9-18-2018 | If you have some bad habit you'd like to break there's some cosmic help out there for you to take control and move toward a goal. Success will depend on how badly you really want it, but the Universe is providing some energy useful for such things, which never hurts. It's possible that you'll be led to a person, book, or information that will get you started in the right direction. Seek and ye shall find... |
| 9-19-2018 | If you've been ruminating on an idea and started working out some of the details, today would be a good one to really start putting some structure behind it in the form of implementation plans. This may be something that you've been asked to do which you found to be a nuisance, but rest assured that it will make a difference toward making progress. No matter how strong your vision for the final result may be, other may need a more substantiated view. |
| 9-20-2018 | The Sun and Mercury are conjunct today, which could shed some light on something to a very detailed level. Mercury is both dignified and exalted in Virgo, his very favorite sign of the zodiac, where he functions at top efficiency. This if you're trying to figure something out, fix something, or put together a plan, the information should be readily available, especially if you're determined to find it. Being pinged is likely if you're not fulfilling your obligations, though you might be stuck in a do-loop, which is the problem. That fixed T-square out there has been hanging on for quite a while and as the modality implies, isn't inclined to move or compromise. If you're stuck in matter of love or money, more than likely this has something to do with it. Venus will let go soon, but breaking free is going to take a while longer. |
| 9-21-2018 | Things are quieting down slightly out there though the same energy from the last few days still prevails for now. The Moon rules function, and she's messing with your beliefs, perhaps through a friend or other associates, regarding how strongly you really feel about some of them and how far you would go to defend them. Hanging onto the past can either be stabilizing or, in some cases, quicksand, if they're not based on anything solid. Use Mercury's last few breaths in Virgo to figure it out, and hurry before the Moon goes into Pisces, where confusion will likely again reign. |
| 9-22-2018 | Now that Mercury has slipped into Libra, he's indicating some information or conversations that could cause a sudden change of direction in a relationship. Indications are that, in spite of recent delays thanks to retrograde planets, it is now time to take action, even if challenges still await. Following your heart and intuition are favored, even if a few irritations or annoyances persist. There's a fated flavor out there today, so pay attention to your gut's reaction as any new information comes your way. |
| 9-23-2018 | Happy Northern Autumnal Equinox and Southern Vernal Equinox! Regardless of what the weather may have been doing the past few weeks, the new season has now official begun. The Sun and Mercury are now conjunct in Libra, the sign that represents relationships. There's been a lot going on out there that has been stirring things up in this area of late, so now the Sun will highlight it even more, perhaps showing the way to resolve any issues. An unexpected change of direction is likely, but it can break the stalemate if you give it a chance. Responsibility continues to be in question as well as friends, goals, and perhaps organizations. Check these areas for potential compromises, hopefully not Catch-22s. |
| 9-24-2018 | Full Moon today, which is described in more detail in the monthly horoscopes. This lunation could bring a few irritations or annoyances that prod you toward changes or adjustments. The Moon is aspecting half the planets out there and reinforcing what has been in the cosmic environment for a week or so now. Remember that a Full Moon typically indicates an ending, culmination, or shift to a new phase of operations. An opportunity to take action on something that's been brewing for a while should arise, even if it doesn't come at the most convenient time. Windows of opportunity do close, however, so if you're too picky about the specifics, you might miss out and not like how it works out. |
| 9-25-2018 | Irritations and frustrations at regulations, authority figures, or bureaucratic red-tape is likely to be keeping you from getting or doing what you want. This includes breaking away from one thing to hopefully pursue another, whether it's a job, relationship, property ownership, or whatever. Networking, calling in a favor or two, or taking a unique approach are all things to consider. In other words, an alternate route is recommended if you want to make progress. This is probably not something you can do by yourself. |
| 9-26-2018 | The need for an adjustment or change of course continues to point toward the need for a compromise. If this is a situation that involves a friend or group resisting change, a concern related to fairness could be part of the problem. Make sure all sides of the situation are considered, even though this is likely to stir up a few more protests. The loudest person isn't always the one who's right and could be the source of ongoing friction with no one else courageous enough to speak up, especially if the loud mouth has the most authority. |
| 9-27-2018 | Another day when you may feel stuck for a while as conflicting interests vie for your attention. Being too idealistic about love, money, or what you really need is likely to start teasing you over the next several days, so brace yourself. It might be a good idea to put your credit cards in a safe place so it's easier to resist temptation. Retail therapy is okay as long as you don't live to regret it for the next several months or worse. If you need a break or something new in your life, be creative, which will be more satisfying and probably less expensive in the long run. |
| 9-28-2018 | Changing your mind today is not likely to happen, especially if it comes back to that fairness issue noted earlier. More likely, you'll circle the wagons and put up your defenses. Make sure, however, that your rationale isn't based on some idealistic view because that isn't likely to buy you any favors or credible influence. Your best bet for breaking away is the conventional route, even if you don't like it. It all comes back to the fact fighting city hall or any other governmental or corporate entity tends to be an exercise in futility. |
| 9-29-2018 | The Moon brings a Grand Air Trine for a short time today, which may help open up the communication channels with that authority figure type and finally make some progress on what you want to accomplish. Spend some time defining and, even more important, visualizing what you want the final result to be. Bear in mind that you will probably change your approach some. Remember, if you keep on doing what you've always done, you'll keep on getting what you're always got. Challenges are still out there, but so are ways to get around them if you're willing to make a few adjustments. |
| 9-30-2018 | As I write this astrocast, I just finished up the October horoscopes. All I can say is it's going to be a very interesting month ahead. The setting for that drama is in the process of getting set up right now. Clashes with authority figures and the powers that be and demands for change are vying for attention. News of corruption and power trips are also evident everywhere you look. What people want, either individually or collectively, isn't always realistic, and a few adjustments are required for them to be feasible. Relationships generally are going to see a few challenges. Brace yourself. |
| 10-01-2018 | Seeing things more clearly may not be easy, if you're basing your perceptions on the past or something that you really want. Objectivity is not encouraged when such is the situation. Making major changes to the status quo are always a challenge, no matter what level they reside upon. Sincerity and desire are players, but are often no more than wishful thinking. When push comes to shove, getting anything done is going to need some support from your friends or group that put themselves behind your efforts. As said a day or so ago, this is not something you can do entirely alone. Muster the troops. |
| 10-02-2018 | Stand by for a possible emotional surge today as you ponder events from the past and how they may relate to present frustrations. As Venus slows down and gets ready to throw it in reverse, there's no telling what might be dredged up. See your monthly horoscope for more on Venus retrograde. There's a possibility that friends are taking sides in a way that's logically fair, but you don't see it that way. Don't make any big decisions today if your emotions are in high gear; you might regret them tomorrow. |
| 10-03-2018 | A few things have lightened up a bit since yesterday, perhaps allowing a bit more of a philosophical look at things, even though doing so is probably annoying and not easy to admit. Arguing about some unresolved from the past is very likely these days and it's probably not something that can be resolved quickly; the longer it's been stewing, the longer it may take to clean the pot, if you know what I mean. Taking a unique approach to restructure the situation is one possibility, but maybe it has to be torn down before it can be built back up. |
| 10-04-2018 | The Moon is stirring up a few things, mostly those relationship issues which may tend toward being a bit to ego-centric. Throwing some fairness and objectivity into the mix may help sort things out in a more reasonable way. Thoughts related to past relationships have been floating around lately. Try to find something good to remember, even if it's not easy. Maybe the lesson was more valuable that you realized at the time. Usually the most valuable lessons are painful initially. Through the lens of time, things often change their perspective. |
| 10-05-2018 | Venus stations retrograde today, which I suspect is going to stir up quite a storm. As she stations retrograde, eventually conjoins the Sun, and then stations direct, easy important stage has a slightly different meaning. See more in this month's horoscope. As far as this station chart is concerned, her square to Mars suggests conflicts between the sexes. Her trine to Neptune implies deception, misunderstanding, or confusion. The Sun in Libra, sign that represents fairness, indicates a change of direction. Information from the past is indicated as well, perhaps uncovering corruption. Interesting to say the least in view of recent events. |
| 10-06-2018 | Stationing Venus is at the apex of a Triangle of Potential with Neptune and the Moon, certainly quite an emotional combination. The Virgo Moon, however, has the potential to be a little picky or hyper-critical, perhaps by noting a few things that aren't being remembered correctly. Venus is in charge of this dialog, however, and could really make a stink about whether someone is entirely missing the point. She's also tied into a similar course adjustment loop, which implies an impasse that requires a change of course. Even the Sun is saying the same thing, adjustments are required. Failure to heed that admonition smells a bit like in could end up a "cut off your nose to spite your face" situation. |
| 10-07-2018 | Stationing Venus could bring new insights or conversely, delusions as she begins her backward trek. Any issues that have resulted in suppressed anger could surface at this time. This is further supported by the square between the Sun and Pluto, which will be in effect for the next week, dredging up anything from the past that hasn't been resolved. Rectifying old issues is often best done by confronting them, working through the emotions, and then letting it go. Getting revenge or some sort of compensation is often an unrealistic expectation. It's another one of those things that may best be written off as tuition. |
| 10-08-2018 | New Moon today in Libra, which is further described in the October monthly horoscopes. The lunation's square with Pluto from Libra, the sign which rules relationships, suggests dealing with an unresolved issue from the past. The quincunx to Neptune implies an adjustment or change of course, perhaps based on inspiration to see things differently. You can change the past by perceiving it in a different way. For example, remembering the lesson it taught you instead of the hurt and disappointment can make a huge difference in your outlook. Try it. |
| 10-09-2018 | Past issues continue to loom and demand resolution. Conflicts over love or money are still out there, with Venus retrograde losing momentum, but still clinging to some false hopes. A change of direction to a more realistic view is past-due with annoyances and friction not helping. This month, with the Sun in Libra, the sign that rules relationships and promotes fairness, you're being called upon you to take care of old business and then straighten up and fly right. If you've been shirking your responsibilities, it's time to either belly up to the bar and accept them or let them go entirely. |
| 10-10-2018 | Mercury has slipped into Scorpio where he's opposing Uranus, suggesting some acerbic, rebellious dialogs or protests that will require intervention by someone older and wiser. Those old issues are still vying for attention along with the ongoing conflict between the guys and gals, perhaps in a philosophical way that doesn't quite affect your personally. Neptune certainly isn't helping you see things clearly lately, but maybe it's not quite time for them to come into focus. |
