Taurus Moon Makes Us Realistic

Today’s sensible Taurus Moon helps us to keep our feet on the ground, while an enthusiastic trine between hyperactive Mars and overconfident Jupiter encourages us to fly. Spontaneous movement is indicated as both Mars and Jupiter are in air signs, yet it’s wise to consider the consequences of jumping off the edge of a cliff just because it sounds thrilling. For now, we must honor our desire for a little excitement without denying our need for safety.

Aries: A little bit of restraint will serve you well today, for you can only see the good news in whatever comes your way. Naturally, the power of positive thinking is on your side, but you can take this concept too far by ignoring the facts. It’s one thing to be an optimist; it’s quite another to be in denial.

Taurus: You are not likely to veer off course today, even if an alternate route looks better than the one you have already chosen. One of your strengths now is to be able to recognize that there are different ways to reach the same goal and that what works for someone else isn’t necessary your best choice. Graciously acknowledge the ideas that are presented to you and then get back to what you were doing.

Gemini: Active Mars is in your sign now and its harmonious trine with jolly Jupiter is enough to put you in a jovial mood. But don’t forget about your obligations; having a good time is not an excuse to get out of work. In fact, you can combine your serious responsibilities with a lighthearted attitude that enables you to be productive while still enjoying yourself. Just be careful that you don’t take on more than you can do.

Cancer: You have something to smile about today, but you might choose to keep it secret. Nevertheless, those closest to you can probably see right through your cautious facade. Don’t waste energy denying your happiness, even if there are other factors that require you to be more reserved. You are fully capable of feeling conflicting emotions and need not choose one over the other.

Leo: It’s a relief for you to let someone else take the lead today. Giving up control can actually be quite exhilarating on its own, but you are in luck now as your friends or co-workers probably have something fun in mind. Process whatever resistance is necessary to open up some playtime in your busy schedule. Your work will still be there when you return.

Virgo: You might attempt to retreat into a more private space, for too much social activity today makes you nervous. Unfortunately, you may have to incur a fair amount of interaction with others in order to do your job or to accomplish what is expected of you. If you withdraw, you’ll just feel the pressure build until you fulfill your commitments. Paradoxically, you could have a great time once you stop resisting the inevitable.

Libra: Today has all the makings of a wonderful day and you are up for whatever possibilities come your way. But as the day unfolds, it appears that you are more attached to a particular agenda than you previously thought. Someone may seem particularly stubborn and can become a thorn in your side until you realize that you are being inflexible, too. Relax into the changing circumstances and enjoy yourself while you can.

Scorpio: Something that recently bugged you seems less than bothersome now. Perhaps you learn additional information that you were previously missing. Or, maybe you have a change in your attitude. You may see the same person who was stubborn only yesterday as the source of steadfast support today. In any case, your openness to new experiences can attract exactly what you are seeking.

Sagittarius: You cannot escape the routine of your workday world now, but others can take you on a mini-adventure that brings you back relaxed and reinvigorated. Whether it is a fantastic discussion at a long lunch with friends or a peaceful nature walk with your sweetie, getting away for a bit today can be just what you need to clear your mind.

Capricorn: You are eager to get started on a new project, even if you don’t yet know where it will lead. Part of your willingness to make a commitment before you know all the details stems from your high level of self-confidence now. You are secure in knowing who you are and what you bring to the situation, freeing you up to say yes and ask the hard questions later on.

Aquarius: The possibilities for fun and games continue to grow, making it difficult for you to commit to any single path. But you must limit your activities because you cannot do everything. Still, you may try to take on more than you can handle, yet too much of a good thing can tire you out or cause indigestion. Practice moderation; a little self-restraint will allow you to have a better time in the long run.

Pisces: Your quiet emotional satisfaction may go unnoticed by most of those around you today. You can be very happy without the knowledge of your friends or co-workers. Meanwhile, an intimate partner or family member is able to see a different side of the story as your joy overflows and is easily expressed within a more private and personal venue.

Moon Dives Into Pisces

The individualistic Aquarius Moon joins the second of the three superconjunctions between auspicious Jupiter, dreamy Neptune and healer Chiron. We may reconsider long-term plans that we thought about in May when these three planets first joined. However, it may take until the end of the year for our current opportunities to reach fruition. The Moon’s dive into watery Pisces at 11:43 pm EDT softens the focus on our intellectual lens.

Aries: You often push the envelope when you become excited about what you are doing. But now your enthusiasm might be less about what you do than what you say. Although you could be slow to discuss your ideas for fear of rejection, once you start talking it may be tough for you to stop. Don’t overplay your hand. Share what’s most important and then be quiet.

Taurus: Your career goals may simultaneously seem closer than ever and yet still far away. On one hand, the most unrealistic goals are within reach. You can dream the impossible dream and set out with your legendary determination to make it real. On the other hand, you can get complacent if you fool yourself by believing your destination is close. Be smart and use some common sense when defining what success means to you.

Gemini: This could be a wise time to revisit old plans you may have had to go back to school. However, it’s best if you want to study a subject that opens your mind to new ideas and expands your perspective beyond your normal view. Planning a journey is possible now, too, for this can be a learning experience, assuming you will take the time to educate yourself about your destination. Either way, no immediate action is required; give your ideas time to germinate and grow.

Cancer: It’s surely much safer if you keep your desires for increased emotional intensity to yourself. Unfortunately, without taking a chance it’s unlikely that you will be able to achieve the intimacy you want with someone else. Showing your vulnerability is never an easy thing to do, but now the benefits outweigh the risks.

Leo: You may try to logically create a framework in order to better understand a relationship that continues to be confusing to you. Unfortunately, it’s challenging to break out of your old and familiar patterns because an analytical approach keeps bringing you around to the same unsatisfying place. Let go of your desire to know any truth other than what’s in your heart.

Virgo: You have a rare opportunity to positively impact your well-being by changing your attitude now. The Moon’s current visit to conceptual Aquarius and your 6th House of Health can focus your energy toward self-improvement. The power of positive thinking is not just a clever catchphrase today; it’s your key to a happier and healthier life.

Libra: You could fall in love today and yet your feelings may have little to do with the people in your life. You are more open to the idea of romance, whether or not you are willing to express your desires. Since a current attraction might be the result of your daydreams, you don’t really require anyone to act out your fantasy. If no one shows up, just enjoy the fruits of your imagination.

Scorpio: You may have an idea of how a scenario at home will play out over the months ahead, especially if your long-term goals have been under scrutiny recently. But it’s difficult to know what to do because the specifics of your future are still elusive. Instead of trying to make up your mind now so you can get on with making plans, give yourself permission to dream without pushing to make them real.

Sagittarius: Communication can be frustrating today if you want answers. You may be required to process a lot of information now, but it could seem to lack any substance. Normally you are comfortable staying in the realm of abstract ideas, for you are a natural philosopher. Nevertheless, you have an incredible opportunity if you are willing to take what you know and set a concrete goal. Making a commitment to your own success will have positive consequences.

Capricorn: Your sense of self-esteem can be blown out of proportion now as others encourage you to reach for your dreams. Naturally, self-confidence is a great attribute to possess, but too much of it can put off those who might otherwise be your best allies. Tempering grandiose ideas with a bit of modesty can be your smartest move. Having a healthy perspective on your life is a worthy goal and can make the difference between success and failure.

Aquarius: You may need to reconsider what you can deliver today, for you might have promised someone too much. You didn’t mean to mislead anyone; it’s just that everything seems to take longer than you imagine. You may be tempted to just give up, but try not to overreact. Take a deep breath, reevaluate what you can accomplish and let others know what they can expect from you now.

Pisces: It’s hard to control your dreams, for they seem to overflow right into your waking life, making things even more confusing than they already are. But don’t try to justify yourself to anyone today. If you aren’t sure how to handle a situation, pull back a bit until you know what to do. Temporarily retreating is wiser now than pretending that you can tell where your fantasies end and reality begins.

Jupiter’s Retrograde Turn Today

The exquisite perfection of an ideal fantasy can bring smiles to our faces now as the imaginative Pisces Moon works her magic on us. We are entranced by beautiful Venus as she forms a creative quintile with the Chiron-Neptune-Jupiter superconjunction, emphasizing our hope for a Utopian future. But we may also be setting ourselves up for disappointment because giant Jupiter’s retrograde turn today can reveal how reality falls short of our dreams.

Aries: Your self-esteem may be tested now, but you should come through with flying colors. However, you may feel as if you have been misled by your friends, only to realize later that you were lured off course by your own expectations. Once you realize the source of your confusion, it’s not difficult to see what’s really going on. Today the truth really can set you free.

Taurus: Your key planet Venus enables you to be at your best today, but you still might overestimate the impact you’ll have on others. You see the professional opportunities that may be opening up, yet they might just disappear as you attempt to grab one of them. Don’t let discouragement cast shadows on a good prospect. Your high expectations will continue to move you in the right direction.

Gemini: You may not be able to reconcile your varied interests now with the demands that are being made on you to follow through on one specific task. You are easily bored and prefer to jump from project to project, like a busy bee in a field of flowers. Nevertheless, consciously concentrating your attention on a single goal can open up other avenues to you. Mysteriously, narrowing your focus expands your overall vision.

Cancer: You want to see rainbows today and live in a world of sunshine and optimism, but reality cannot live up to your lovely fantasy. Unfortunately, your mind is too busy to let you relax long enough to fill in the details of your picture-perfect daydream, no matter how hard you push your other thoughts away. You can, however, be content if you just let the noisy chatter of your brain run its course, unfettered, until it settles down.

Leo: You might have an artistic vision today and, with a bit of patience, could manifest it in your world. Most likely, you won’t transform into a Mozart or Picasso, but your lack of technical skill need not hold you back from undertaking a creative activity. Of course you want others to appreciate your work, but take the pressure off and do it just for yourself. The finished product is less important than how you feel during the process.

Virgo: Your key planet Mercury is your nemesis today because he’s tap-dancing all over your brain while you are trying to solve one particular problem. Unfortunately, the harder you try to quiet your mind, the noisier it becomes. Although you can usually find peace in your ability to analyze a situation and then make a decision, the present problem will not be solved rationally. Simply imagine the outcome you desire and head in that direction.

Libra: You are ready to share your ideas and they all make sense to you, until you open your mouth and start talking. Even the clearest thoughts become muddled as you try to explain yourself in greater detail. It would be wiser to skip the words and rely on your key planet Venus as she harmonizes with dreamy Neptune today. You can communicate what’s important aesthetically or sensually; save the conversation for another day.

Scorpio: Your current dilemma stems from your unwillingness to spend time talking about inconsequential topics. Social convention might require you to interact with others superficially, and yet you are not interested in such a waste of your energy. Nevertheless, holding to your highest intentions might actually get in the way of your search for meaning. Be willing to dance around the edge of an abyss prior to exploring its depths.

Sagittarius: You are eager to go on a journey today, yet practical considerations might prevent you from going too far. You can, however, take a mental trip, but it’s crucial that you have a purpose in mind before you venture out. Even if your vision quest is squeezed into little fragments of time while you are at work, you can still explore the far reaches of the cosmos and come back instantaneously to converse with your boss or handle an urgent situation.

Capricorn: You don’t mind flying in the realms of imagination, but you can get nervous if you let yourself go out too far. You might even struggle a bit today as you try to find your way down to ground level. But instead of just soaring on uncontrollable winds because it’s exciting, stay connected to your immediate task at hand. You’ll still be able to be creative, yet you won’t need to worry about getting lost in the clouds.

Aquarius: It might appear as if you’ve lost touch with reality today, but this is only an illusion. Others cannot see what’s going on within your mind, so they don’t realize how pragmatic you are actually being now. Fortunately, you can use this to your advantage because you don’t seem threatening to anyone and this gives you additional latitude to push for what you want.

Pisces: No matter how much responsibility is placed on your shoulders today, you can do what you must and still enjoy escaping to other realms. You are particularly good now at moving in and out of reality so fast that others won’t even know you’re preoccupied. However, it’s still a smart idea to schedule a longer block of time to watch a movie, read a book, or take a quiet walk. Anything that allows you to stretch your mind without worrying about being productive is healthy in the long run.

Mercury Squares Jupiter

We are stuck in the middle today as we try to balance our big ideas with the very real limitations that are currently holding us back. Rational Mercury dynamically squares overconfident Jupiter, pumping us up with grandiose plans and thoughts of inflated self-importance. Meanwhile, the somber Capricorn Moon harmoniously trines Mercury, taking the wind out of our sails. It’s not the best time to push ahead, even if we are not yet ready to surrender.

Aries: Today you can’t help but turn every little insignificant idea into a whole world of possibilities. You have an extraordinary ability now to see the entire cosmos in every grain of sand. Even if you are in the process of reaching farther than ever before, you still might not reach your goal. But don’t worry; the very act of extending yourself can create opportunities and lead to something more fulfilling.

Taurus: No matter how hard you try to resist the temptation of an enjoyable distraction today, you might not have enough “won’t power” to say no. Fortunately your need for personal space can be a catalyst that wards off those who might move in too close or too fast. But this isn’t about withdrawing socially. For now, just be aware of the sacrifices you must make before taking on more than you can handle.

Gemini: You continue to ride a growing wave of enthusiasm, yet keeping your balance becomes trickier and trickier throughout the day. Still, today you aren’t interested in taking shortcuts; you want to be in touch with the magic that comes from experiencing the entire journey, even if this makes things more difficult for a while. There’s no way to go back to this moment, so make sure you don’t miss anything along the way.

Cancer: You may feel trapped in your own skin, and your impatience could lead you to take impulsive actions. Your uncharacteristically flippant manner can land you into a heap of trouble today. Remember that your words, however casually you speak them now, can either create disillusionment or encourage others to perform great deeds.

Leo: Your personal battle today might be between careful planning and being spontaneous. Your managerial skills are very good now and you can organize a lot of disparate data, causing others in your field to place you up on a pedestal. You might not get the phone call asking you to be the opening act for your favorite band, but at least be ready for a highly improbable invitation in case it actually comes.

Virgo: Your approach to play can be very serious today. You are not here to spin lots of wheels without getting something valuable in return. Unfortunately, you could squander time and energy in your eagerness to make a travel dream come true. Take a risk and try something that’s fun and easy, but don’t be so attached to the outcome that anything less than a trip around the world will be disappointing.

Libra: You know exactly what your responsibilities are today, but you don’t necessarily follow through on them. Part of your current problem is trying to gauge how much time to spend on searching for fast fixes. Looking for a miracle cure can slice through the plethora of options, but it can also be a real waste of energy that could be better spent on doing the actual work.

Scorpio: Steer clear of philosophical debates today, for you might actually be dialoging with yourself, and not with others. Oddly enough, it may be hard to tell which side of the question you are supporting. It’s not that you are flipping back and forth on the issue; it’s just that every argument sounds sensible to you now. Still, you must make up your mind and stick with it. End your indecisiveness and choose now.

Sagittarius: You continue to have a full plate of activities in front of you. With Venus, Mars and Mercury in your 6th House of Self-Improvement, it’s crucial for you to make positive changes without turning your whole world upside down. But clever Mercury’s square to gregarious Jupiter can be so inspiring that you are distracted by the bright lights. Just remember you don’t have to make anything look better than it actually is.

Capricorn: You are usually quite capable of keeping your ideas and projects in a healthy perspective. Typically, you have a knack for knowing whether or not something will work before you decide the level of your involvement. Now, however, your reality filter may be a bit wonky. Avoiding significant decisions is smart for a couple of days. It won’t be too late to announce your choices once your common sense returns.

Aquarius: You may be setting yourself up for disappointment today if you don’t establish firm limits on what you will do in the name of love. Your thoughts are running around in circles and you might be tempted to put a stop to the dizzying motion, but you believe that you need your intellect to help you decide your response. Unfortunately, logic won’t give you the right answer now; the truth must come from your heart.

Pisces: An overly rigid schedule can be your temporary downfall today. If one appointment runs late, then each one will follow in turn, compounding the problem and turning your calendar into a hot mess. If, on the other hand, you are flexible in your approach, then managing your day can be a piece of cake. Leave room between your appointments so that you can roll with whatever changes come your way.

Lost in Dreams

The fair-minded Libra Moon harmoniously trines the restless Gemini Sun today, creating a refreshing movement of ideas. But our heads will be floating in the clouds now, lost in dreams, as beautiful Venus forms a creative sextile with the inspirational Jupiter-Chiron-Neptune conjunction. We can get lazy because life may seem wonderful, even if it’s not. Fortunately, we can still reach our goals even if we are not working as hard as we could.

Aries: You aren’t interested in logic today, especially if someone is trying to talk you out of doing something that sounds like fun. You might be willing to let go of your obligations, even if you realize that you’ll have to pay a price for your immature behavior. But if you stop to think before you run off in search of pleasure, you might just realize that you’ll enjoy yourself even more if you finish your work first.

Taurus: It’s tough for you to overcome the inertia of being at rest, so you may get off to a very slow start today. You may be dreaming of all the amazing things you can accomplish professionally, but your fantasies won’t likely turn to reality unless you are willing to work hard now and set your immediate comfort aside. Although this may be asking a lot of yourself, the satisfaction will be worth it when you have something to show for your day.

Gemini: Your friends will likely encourage you today to try something you’ve never done before. Fortunately, your willingness to go along with them could make for a thoroughly enjoyable day. Unfortunately, you could become so enamored with what you are doing that you forget about the responsibilities you left behind. Having a good time now is fine as long as you remember to come back to complete your unfinished work.

Cancer: It may be challenging for you to speak spontaneously when you are in the public eye, for you prefer to work out your answers in private before sharing with them others. But if you are comfortable with your co-workers, then you should feel able to explore your options while in the spotlight. However, it’s more likely that you’ll now fall somewhere in between these two extremes, so keep some ideas to yourself and try them out on an audience when given a chance.

Leo: If you are being told a tall tale today, you’ll probably believe what you hear, but this is not necessarily about being gullible. Rather, you are willing to give others the benefit of the doubt. Feeding the spark of someone else’s creativity can start a fire that lights up your life. But too much critical analysis can stop the process before its potential is even realized.

Virgo: You might attempt to find balance as you consider making a purchase today, but your natural ability to be discriminating can temporarily fall by the wayside. You might not even take the time to justify what you want now, for it’s easier than usual to turn your desire into an immediate action. Nevertheless, you won’t likely find much satisfaction in purchasing something beautiful. You still may have buyer’s remorse if your new acquisition isn’t also useful in some way.

Libra: This may be a storybook day that brings you love, but an idyllic situation might not be as long-lasting as you wish. Your key planet Venus creates opportunities for romance, creativity and spontaneity, while the Moon in your sign increases the volume on your dreams. You must find a comfortable balance between being more realistic and living in the moment. You surely don’t want to miss the fun, yet raising your hopes too high can prove disappointing later on.

Scorpio: Your current idea of happiness doesn’t necessarily require approval from anyone else. Enjoying your job now is more about internal satisfaction, so you can be quite content today to retreat into your own world as long as you can also be productive. But you’ll need to be vigilant, for it can be tempting to just lay back and take it easy. You might enjoy relaxing in the moment, but later you’ll probably be very self-critical if you didn’t finish your work.

Sagittarius: You have a very healthy attitude about balancing work and play today because you realize that responsibilities will pile up quickly if you don’t attend to them now. But even with stronger than usual willpower, too many sweet distractions can break your concentration. Don’t be too hard on yourself when you realize that you’re not being very productive. Just bring your attention back to your current chores and refocus your intentions on what must be done.

Capricorn: There are those who think that you Goats don’t know how to have fun and today’s your day to prove them wrong. Although you may be obsessive about trying to finish your work before you shift your energy toward enjoyment, at least you are able to emotionally detach from unfulfilled obligations when you are finally ready to play. If you need to justify your irresponsibility, remember that you’ll be more productive once you’ve had a chance to let loose.

Aquarius: Although you may be floating on a cloud today, it’s a real challenge to give yourself permission to let go of other people’s expectations of you, especially if they are depending on you now. But don’t just succumb to their pressure and timetables; you may derive great benefit now from setting the workaday world aside for a while. Take a wellness day for yourself if you can; your responsibilities will still be there when you return.

Pisces: If you have been considering how to break free from an old habit, today might be your opportunity. Trying something new can be a bit frightening sometimes, but now the anticipation is enough to lure you forward. Even if you are performing a familiar task, try doing it with a different approach. Changing your attitude might be enough to shift the entire experience out of a rut and into a whole new direction.

Venus Hooks Up With Pluto

The fiery Aries Moon is totally pumped up today, for it joins energetic Mars to align our actions with our feelings. Additionally, quicksilver Mercury creates an exciting sextile with out-of-the-box Uranus, spicing the day with interesting conversations, unexpected wit and clever repartee. But something else is pulling us into weird places now as sexy Venus hooks up with passionate Pluto in a complex septile that defies rational understanding.

Aries: You need to be on guard today against your own tendency to respond too quickly when someone interacts with you. Your intensity might be mistaken for anger, but then again, you could actually be angry and not even know it. Either way, take a few deep breaths to check in with your inner world before unconsciously spewing your unresolved emotions onto friends and family.

Taurus: You may wake up from one of those really strange dreams where everything appears so vivid, yet it seems to make no sense, however you try to interpret it. If you are reminded of the nonsensical symbols during the day when something odd happens, it instantaneously brings the entire sequence back into awareness. Don’t try to force meaning onto the mysterious messages from your subconscious. They will work their magic if you simply remember them.

Gemini: Your key planet Mercury is stimulated today by erratic Uranus, challenging you to find an even pace to your day. Thoughts and activities come in spurts; you’re busy one moment and then nothing’s happening the next. Nevertheless, you might not have a problem with this kind of energetic flow because you believe there’s a satisfying surprise for you lurking just beyond the horizon.

Cancer: Others may see you as playing the role of a mother hen, but that’s just because you know what to do and are annoyed that no one else seems to have a clue today. You are willing to jump right in and help, but first it’s wise to make sure that everyone really wants your assistance. If you act out of obligation, your good deeds will only be seen as meddling. But if you act out of love, your presence can be a healing force.

Leo: Today you may find yourself dealing with an unresolved issue at work that already crossed your desk once before in the past week or two. You might be irritated that this pesky situation has resurfaced, but rest assured that it’s a blessing in disguise. Take this second chance to reconsider your previous actions. If, however, you cannot change your plans, they still may need a bit of revision later on.

Virgo: Your key planet Mercury is wired for sound today as its sextile to ingenious Uranus fills your head with the freeing music of radical thoughts. It’s difficult for you to sing along on a traditional song; you’d rather go it alone so you can make up something new and different. Don’t compromise for the sake of maintaining harmony. If a group needs to fall apart; let it. Your relationships with others will be reestablished on a much firmer footing after you have some time on your own.

Libra: Your key planet Venus is in touch with strange tales from the shadows of Pluto’s underworld today, but it’s difficult to know what to do with your stories. The best of your recent experiences may not be appropriate for sharing in all social circumstances. Before you start telling tales consider your audience to make sure that you’re not opening your mouth and inserting your foot.

Scorpio: The Moon aligns with your traditional ruling planet warrior Mars in your 6th House of Work, suggesting that you might need to lose your temper in order to establish or reestablish an important boundary. It may be difficult to know when your job is finished, because you are not following a play-by-play instruction book. Take your time and remember that it’s harder to end an old pattern than it is to start a new one.

Sagittarius: Hope may have been the guiding factor for you recently, but you’re entering a phase where the present moment is more significant than any future possibility. Nevertheless, your utopian dreams don’t need to be shelved; they just need to be moved into the here and now. Instead of compartmentalizing everything, it’s crucial now to keep your life from becoming overly complex.

Capricorn: You might not need to follow all the rules to the letter today since it feels as if you are answering to a higher authority. This is not cosmic permission to perpetuate destructive or reckless behavior; it’s just an invitation to be wickedly ingenious. No matter what you do now, remember that it’s still not a good idea to get caught.

Aquarius: Quick-footed Mercury is zapped by your ruling planet Uranus, the Awakener. There’s no reason to attempt to control this thrilling joyride for the mind. Just fasten your seat belt and let your thoughts take you wherever they will. Although it may feel as if nothing useful will come from this exciting little junket, you could return with an altered perspective that can help you deal with a situation that’s in your real life.

Pisces: It’s challenging for you to make choices today, for reality is peppered with ideas and concepts that have leaked through from your imagination. The bad news is that you may not be able to distinguish the truth from fiction. The good news is that this overflow from your dreams surely makes your life more interesting. Don’t force an issue now; if possible wait until tomorrow to decide.

We may Feel Uneasy

The Aries Moon ushers in a day filled with variety as the Sun enters restless Gemini to begin the new astrological month. But we may feel uneasy for another reason as friendly Venus forms an irritating quincunx with austere Saturn. We are uncertain about expressing our feelings for fear of reprimand. Meanwhile, our imaginations run wild as mental Mercury dynamically squares the approaching triple conjunction of Jupiter, Chiron and Neptune.

Aries (March 21 – April 19): Sometimes you have to speak first, even if someone else has the floor or otherwise thinks they own the conversation. Your energy demands action, and it’s up to you to make it happen quickly.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20): Someone is frustrated with you, but they are the ones who are wrong this time. You are doing things your way (that is, the right way) and they need to have a little patience if they want it done right.

Gemini (May 21 -June 21): There may be a few too many large personalities in your family or work group for anything to get done today, unless you take the initiative and ensure that everyone works for the common good.

Cancer (June 22 – July 22): You may offend someone in a fit of passion, but you can walk it back pretty quickly if you think it’s important enough. Don’t hold back, that only guarantees an explosion later on!

Leo (July 23 – August 22): You can have fun clipping your nails or filling out online forms, your energy is so good! It’s one of those days when you ought to be able to take care of all sorts of backlogged tasks and errands.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22): Try not to let your coworkers or neighbors mooch too much off of you today, you need to marshal your resources much more carefully! You can go back to being everyone’s helper in a few days.

Libra (September 23 – October 22): Even if you’re in the middle of a really intense fling, you need to pull yourself away from romance temporarily today, or integrate it into the rest of your life. You’ve got too much going on to neglect!

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21): You should try to get your friends to join in your latest cause, whatever that may be. Even if you have to go it alone, you feel that this is something that has to happen for the greater good.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21): Your new ideas are hotter and hotter today, so much so that you may have to blow off some old projects to get blazing on the new ones! Your creative side is all-powerful when it takes over.

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19): You need to rearrange your schedule somewhat, if you can’t see why right now, it becomes clear shortly. It’s a great day to ask for a rain check or to postpone inessential appointments.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 18): Push the boundaries of your latest project, you need to really get out there if you want to get noticed! The good news is that you can maintain a certain level of accessability no matter what.

Pisces (February 19 – March 20): Life is better for you if you hide out for a bit, preferably in plain sight! All you need to do is bury yourself in work, or in a role that very few people take notice of. You should learn a lot!

This is Cosmic Tsunami

A dynamic aspect between the two largest bodies in our solar system today can blow in strong winds of opportunity, but whenever the Sun and Jupiter square off, we can also be fooled by placing too much significance on unimportant events. This veritable cosmic tsunami is further powered by Jupiter’s proximity to visionary Neptune. Additionally, the Sun’s supportive sextile to wild and crazy Uranus makes the future seem closer and brighter than it is.

Aries: You can protect your future security by carefully watching your finances now, even if everything looks positive. It’s not that there’s bad news just beyond the horizon; rather, it’s that everything looks so good that you waste money needlessly that could be better spent later on when you are not as flush. Ben Franklin had you in mind when he wrote, “a penny saved is a penny earned.” Just remember to allow for inflation.

Taurus: You could be so fixed in your belief that all will end well that you don’t take care of important business in the present moment. The power of positive thinking goes a long way to making things better, but it doesn’t absolve you from being practical. You have too much at stake; don’t bet your success on improvements in the future. Be here now.

Gemini: Current changes at work may be worrisome at first, but there appears to be a silver lining in the dark storm clouds. It’s hard to stay overly concerned with the instability, for you realize that something is stuck and really needs to be shaken up. You may not be able to see around the next corner, preventing you from being certain about decisions you want to make. It may be wiser now to delay setting new goals and to just live with the uncertainty for a while longer.

Cancer: You may be struggling with meeting your own needs while still remaining an integral part of your team at work. Or perhaps you are trying to find balance between staying connected with your friends, even if their goals currently differ from yours. Your lesson now is about inclusion. There’s no need to back away from your peers or social connections so you can be alone. It’s not an either/or situation; you can do both.

Leo: On one hand, life doesn’t get much better than this. There is potential good news everywhere you look. On the other hand, there might not be a direct path to realize any specific goal. This is like running a gasoline engine on fumes; you can only sustain your optimism on hope for so long. Sooner or later you’ll need some real fuel in the tank. In the meantime, conserve your resources the best you can.

Virgo: You are energized in a very real way, for you can see what’s ahead if you continue to work hard and plan for your future. But the currents may be speeding up now and this can make you nervous, even if it’s also exciting. You want to succeed, but you may be afraid that it won’t last if it all happens so fast that you don’t have a strong foundation. Don’t let your fears get in the way of your success.

Libra: Setting aside your agenda may be the smartest thing you can do today, for the greatest opportunity for a good time might be the one that’s a total surprise. Give yourself permission to take a break from your regular Saturday routine. Doing the same old thing in the same old way may be reassuring, but it could also limit your field of vision, preventing you from being spontaneous enough to have a truly memorable experience.

Scorpio: An unexpected event could turn your day inside out. Even if you were planning on spending a quiet day at home, you will likely be tempted to join your partner or a friend in an activity that is physically active or one that takes you somewhere special. There’s no reason to hold back now; if you do, you could miss the fun.

Sagittarius: You may feel as if your life is undergoing big changes as you ride the currents with excited anticipation. You cannot see where they are carrying you, but you are eager to go on this great adventure as the Sun illuminates spiritual Neptune and your key planet Jupiter. Fears may surface unexpectedly but resistance is futile.

Capricorn: You might want to reassert your control by downshifting for the curves ahead. You may even think about using the emergency brake to bring everything to a temporary standstill. Unfortunately, neither of these tactics will likely bring you the stability you seek. Furthermore, they could throw you into an unmanageable skid as your life seems to spin out of control. Fortunately, you are in no danger now if you simply go with the flow.

Aquarius: This can be an exciting weekend for you, one that gives you a chance to be seen in a very positive light by your friends and family. You are the one who can navigate through the fog now and others may come to you for advice. Don’t tell them what they want to hear; tell the truth as you see it, from your eclectic point of view. Your unencumbered vision is worth more than anything else you can offer today.

Pisces: Your two key planets, expansive Jupiter and nebulous Neptune are being stressed by solar winds today, creating intense displays in your imagination. It’s as if you have your own private light show that illuminates your future in a way you’ve never seen before. Your expectations are high, but don’t assume you’ll win the lottery if you haven’t bought a ticket. You still need to apply yourself if you are to succeed.
