In place of today's horoscope...

I have a general note to every sign.  Tonight's full moon is in Pisces.  To be extremely basic, this means everyone experiences the same effect:  

-more daydreaming/fantasizing 

-increased sensitivity

-emotions that seemingly come out of nowhere (especially Earth Signs [Capricorn, Taurus, Virgo] who are normally quite stable, emotionally.  You may find your heartstrings being tangled a bit).

-trouble focusing or finishing what you start

-letting people get away with more

-difficulty communicating directly

And, for those of you who have had time to reflect and look inward, you may have begun to realize you're being taken advantage of in some way or that you have had a misfortunate experience with something.  

Face reality and do something about it.   Embrace this watery, introspective full moon and get to the bottom of what's been holding you back. 

If this this entry hasn't been direct enough to be useful, I blame the moon in Pisces. *wink* 

Horoscope for August 30, 2012

Aries:  Your best bet is to focus on work today.  Don't bother with trivial distractions or people that aren't productive.  If you're not visiting your actual job at some point, work on bills and home improvements.   Just get your T's crossed and dot those I's.

Taurus:  You should have a good vibe following you around today.  Relationships should be easy and financial transactions will go smoothly.

Gemini:  If you're feeling a bit stifled or antsy, consider going on a trip.  It's not a good time to make big changes or decisions, so just distract yourself from this edgy feeling by escaping it.  It will pass on it's own, but why be uncomfortable while you wait?

Cancer:  It's a great time to experiment and learn something new.  Don't follow your routine or do things the way you normally would.  Discovery and inventiveness are your themes today.

Leo:  Think of some long-held belief you've had that has held you back in life.  Once you figure out what that is, decide to change your way of thinking.  You have your best chance at being successful with this today.  Continue to clear clutter from your home.  Eliminate relationships that no longer serve a positive purpose.

Virgo:  Like some of the other signs, it's a good time for you to start cleaning things up in your life.  Get rid of clutter and put distance in relationships that have turned sour.  Organize and cleanse your mental state while you're at it.

Libra:  Don't expect to be left alone today.  That should be good news since you like to socialize.  Your ability to communicate and negotiate are better than usual.  Hopefully you can use this to your advantage before the day is over.

Scorpio:  It's a good idea to start scheduling time for social events or business meetings for you to look forward to in the near future.  If time and budget allow, make a short pleasure trip today.  I encourage you to explore the fine arts today or something that inspires you like nature or a movie.

Sagittarius:  Think about your life in terms of relationships and your routine thoughts.  Are there people you could distance yourself from that no longer affect you in a positive way?  Are there ways of thinking that are holding you back?  Next, look at your physical environment and eliminate clutter from the places you care about.

Capricorn:  You may find yourself looking into your past today.  Feelings of nostalgia are likely to creep in.  You're likely to have an important conversation with a woman.  Allow yourself time to embrace your roots and respect the experiences that got you to where you are today.

Aquarius: You may be a little emotional today, but that's Ok.  Pay attention to your daydreams or a fleeting thought that stirs you.  A special kind of inspiration can be found here.

Pisces:  You're likely to be feeling a little quiet and meditative today.  Your best bet is to engage in activities that require a strong focus to be successful.  Exercise self-discipline and self-control.

Horoscope for August 29, 2012

Aries:  If your environment isn't harmonious today, you're going to have a hard time.  Expect to be sensitive to bad vibes and do your best to avoid them and keep the peace.  Don't plan for mentally taxing work at this time.  Just take it easy.

Taurus:  Pay close attention to details today.  Your focus is likely to be on business matters and you're able to get along well with coworkers at this time.

Gemini:  Family and friends are great people to surround yourself with today.  It's the perfect time to build on existing relationships and improve upon what you've established so far.  Enjoy creating goodwill and trust between yourself and others.

Cancer:  If something's been weighing on your mind, you're likely to obsess to the point of resolution today.  Warn those you care about not to stand in your way or make light of the situation.  Maintaining an attitude of acceptance will help to lighten the mood.

Leo:  Your relationships should be going well at this time.  You're able to pick up on the nuances of a situation, but may find it difficult to go with the flow.  Your life is in a state of flux and it's easy to get overwhelmed with a pace that is too slow or too fast.  Try to relax and stay mindful.  It's only how you feel.  Start preparing to eliminate clutter from your life.

Virgo:  Today is all about work for you.  Make a plan and be active.  Expect to accomplish many things at this time.  It would be wise to use every minute of this day to your advantage.

Libra:  You're better than usual at being able to see others' true colors today and have the gift of being perceptive all day.  A good way to make use of this ability is to examine your environment and being to eliminate things that no longer serve you.  Move away from relationships that have been spent.

Scorpio:  Athletics are favored at this time.  Why not gather some people together and get something started?  If you're feeling more internal, you should probably take the day off or at least try working from home.  Spend time in meditation.

Sagittarius:  Communication may be subjective for you today.  If you feel emotional, it's probably because you're focusing on the past.  Neighbors, siblings, or some other family member will play a role in your day.  Relationships with women should go smoothly.  It's a good time to learn which people are good for your emotions.

Capricorn:  There is probably a lightness you can detect in the air today.  Serious subjects aren't welcome and there's a good chance your charm is on point during this 24-hour period.  Enlist the help of friends if you're working towards a goal.  Try to embrace a carefree feeling at this time.

Aquarius: Today should feel really good to you.  Keep your ego in check, as not to give a bad impression to others.  If you're mindful of this, your popularity will grow.  Don't be afraid to sign up for a new position or help out with an organization you've been looking into.  Try not to spend a lot of money today.  Focus on changes that are happening in your life.

Pisces:  Today is a good time to tie up loose ends and take care of obligations.  It's not a great time to start projects that require a strong focus.  Put that off until midday tomorrow.  If you're in a relationship that you feel has reached a plateau, try enjoying your companionship in a quiet setting without talking to each other.  Just enjoy each other's presence.  You need to slow down and rest today.

Horoscope for August 28, 2012

Aries:  Today is an energetic time for you.  If you're one of the hot-tempered Aries, you may have shorter fuse than usual at this time.  If you're more laid back, just be grateful for more energy to get things done.

Taurus:  You may be feeling a bit like a detective today.  You'll find that you're able to see right through schemes and lies.  You'll probably be attracted to mysterious people and things if you pay attention.  This is a time where the activity of your imagination, as opposed to your usual physical action, is favored.

Gemini:  Today is not ideal for serious and demanding work.  You're probably better off dabbling in the arts--poetry, literature, film--and flitting from person to person, gracing them with your charm and chattiness.

Cancer:  Your self-confidence should be high today and your ability to achieve your goals is certain.  Prepare to assert yourself and to be very physically active at this time."

Leo:  Find new ways to express your opinions and get out to meet new people today.  Practical matters are on your mind and your ability to concentrate and complete tasks is heightened.  If you're able to socialize, you can expect to keep serious topics in play, as opposed to light-hearted banter.

Virgo:  Today calls for you to be flexible and able to think on your feet.  You may find yourself being pulled in many different directions, which tends to scatter one's forces.  Try coming up with new ideas and solutions today.  Even if they seem crazy, there's a good chance they'll work.

Libra:  You're able to reason very well today, so engaging in mental work is favored.  You may find yourself in an argument or two because of your need to assert your opinion.  This is important and you should hold your own at this time.

Scorpio:  Your organizational skills are better than usual today and you should feel good about any work you do towards building a creative base for yourself.  Stay focused and fulfill your obligations at this time.  Something that's been missing is likely to turn up today.

Sagittarius:  Friendship and finance are in great shape for you right now..  The moon is in Aquarius, which you can appreciate, so embrace change and new ideas.  Really think outside of the box today.  It should come easily at this time.

Capricorn:  It's a great time to focus on work and getting rid of things that no longer serve a purpose.  Get rid of all that clutter (maybe even mental clutter) that just sits there in the way all the time.  It will help to enhance your already strong ability to focus today.

Aquarius:  You may find it's easier than usual to speak honestly and openly with friends today. Why not call somebody up and plan something for the evening? This time spent will likely prove to be very therapeutic.  Be guarded at work, however, because your relationship to coworkers isn't the same as friendship.  If someone seems to be after your secrets, redirect that person with an original response and genuine suggestion for a new direction he or she could follow.  If you had intense dreams last night, you may need a little extra sleep tonight.

Pisces:  It's a powerful day for you.  You may not feel like taking care of obligations, but if that's the case, try looking at accomplishing them in new ways.  Business discussions will go well for you today.  Open your mind to approaching your work in a new way.  

Horosocpe for August 27, 2012

Aries:  It's a good time to think about the kind of short term sacrifices you can make towards long term gains.  Your rhythm may be a little erratic or interrupted at this time.  Be careful not to burn any bridges with impatience or uninvited aggression.  Few people function with your same energy level and drive.  Try to be understanding.

Taurus:  You can intuitively know what you're getting yourself into today, so be aware.  You're likely to have the support you need from others, but be careful not to throw too many irons in the fire.  Bite off a satisfying amount to chew and apply that famous Taurus work ethic to accomplish your goals.  Also, romance is favored for you.

Gemini:  Finances are the theme for what's weighing on Gemini's mind today, but allow me to be a little more vague.  You have what it takes to find positive ways to sever ties that are no longer useful.  Focus on budgeting if you must, but there are bigger, deeper issues to be considered at this time.

Cancer:  You're probably feeling very affectionate and amorous towards those near and dear to you.  Take advantage of these positive vibes and do something nice for someone.

Leo:  It's a good time to make any appointments you've been putting off.  Enjoy the pleasure of helping people out today, but be sure to take care of yourself too.

Virgo:  You may find yourself a little obsessed with a problem or idea today.  Embrace this energy and get to the bottom of it.  Try not to be too aggressive with others.

Libra:  Do something creative to stretch your artistic muscle today.  If you flat don't feel like you're an artist, take in an exhibit or see a movie that inspires you to appreciate beauty.  Spend time with friends and people you find aesthetically pleasing.

Scorpio:  You can expect an invitation to a social event at some point today.  It's a good time to express yourself through writing.

Sagittarius: You can expect an emotional experience related to finances today as you are likely to be focused on that area of life at this time.  Your ability to do mental work is advanced now, so express yourself whenever you feel compelled--even if it rubs people the wrong way.  Who cares?  For now, put your love life on the back burner.  Focus on that money.

Capricorn: You may have to speak your mind in a way that challenges or unnerves others today, but just do it.  You'll feel good about having said your piece.  Because of your stubborn nature, you'll be happy to know it seems that by holding your own, things will sort themselves out in your favor this time.

Aquarius: You're likely to find yourself adjusting your routine to accommodate changes in your lifestyle today.  If you feel stale and uninspired, try pampering yourself a little.  Visiting an old hobby or listening to music that moves you will bode well for your spirit.

Pisces:  Today has a strong emphasis on friendship.  You're likely to work well with others and get along in group settings.  In terms of romance, if you're in a relationship, a turning point may be nearing.   As far as your job and projects are concerned, don't be afraid to allow a helping hand.  Ask for help, even.  You can do well, but much better with others today.  It's also a good time to do mental work, so speak your mind if you feel compelled--even if it's conflicting with others' viewpoints.

Horoscope for August 25, 2012

Aries:  You're probably yearning for something beautiful or even ethereal at this time.  Watch out for an infatuation that's beginning to grow.  This isn't real.  Enjoy toying with the idea or fantasizing a little, but don't pursue it unless you're Ok with being disappointed.  You can think of other ways to tap into your fantasy world without reckless behavior.  This is your best bet.

Taurus:  Your sense of duty is probably stronger than usual today.  You're likely to fulfill any obligations and keep any promises.  Security is important.  However, you're kind of in a vulnerable place to be taken advantage of at this time.  While fulfilling promises that were already made, I wouldn't suggest making new ones today.

Gemini:  You might be feeling a little passive and downtrodden today.  It's not a great time to make decisions or try to get others to work in your favor.  It's best to step out of the leadership position and just do whatever is comfortable or what works to get by.  Lay low today.

Cancer:  Socialization is favored for you today.  You'll watch as a nice balance of give and take, talk and listen, and harmonious vibes fill the air when you come into contact with others at this time.  I hope you finally feel good and much lighter.  It's time.

Leo:  It's a joyful time for Leo today, so I hope you all feel happy.  Be cautious when committing to things or making promises, though.  Your defenses are weakened at this time.

Virgo:  You're likely to feel a little dreamy and romantic today.  An infatuation will prove to be nothing more than that.  Dabble if you must, but it's not a promising union.  Channel this energy into creative projects if you'd like a more stable outcome for the day.

Libra: Avoid stressful situations or activities that demand too much from you.  You're apt to feeling a little aimless and passive today.  It's a good time for thinking creatively and finding activities that are new and out of the ordinary to inspire you.

Scorpio: Objects and material possessions are important to you at this time.  It's not their monetary worth that means something to you, but the stories and feelings attached to them.  Time spent at home is valuable today. You may be trying to make a decision about your career or some other long-term plan.  If you find yourself doubting the work you've put in, be cautious.  You don't want to hit and emotional downward spiral.  Doubt is a waste of time right now anyway.  Just think of how you can improve upon the situation you're already in instead of leaving it altogether.

Sagittarius:  You're probably really on fire today and tackling all kinds of activities.  It's a wonderful time to be active, but be careful not to overcommit or overexert yourself in the process.  You'll find that your thoughts and feelings are surprisingly aligned at this time.

Capricorn:  You have the energy to take on new projects and complete whatever tasks you set out to tackle today.  Get back into the groove of hard work and enjoy being in your comfort zone.  Reaping the benefits later will be quite fulfilling.  Don't be afraid to strike out on your own or take a strong stand at this time.

Aquarius:  You should have a good amount of energy to tackle the day's activities.  You'll probably have a strong urge to strike out on your own and do your own thing.  This is natural of Aquarius, but more pronounced than usual at this time.

Pisces: You may be feeling a little impatient today, especially with family members.  It's a good time to participate in competitive activities. Don't blur the line between your personal and professional lives today as you advance forward with your career (or make progress looking for a new one).

Horoscope for August 24, 2012

Aries:  If you're feeling a little agitated by delays and interruptions today, don't be surprised.  The universe seems to be picking at you.  Maybe you can do some things to make your day a little nicer like eating a good breakfast or playing some sports.  It's not a good day for signing contracts.  Have a treat today.

Taurus:  It's another busy day with errands and phone calls on the agenda.  Try to be flexible.  Embrace a feeling of curiosity or inventiveness.  Your attitude will really determine how your day unfolds, so get it right.  

Gemini:  As the great communicator of the zodiac, you'll be happy to know the universe is encouraging you to exercise this ability.  You should be feeling very optimistic, but are likely to overindulge at this time.  Enjoy any pleasures the day may offer, but be reasonable.

Cancer:  You're likely to be coming out of an intense day yesterday.  If you've felt withdrawn and more moody than usual, it's Ok.  Well, it's always Ok to feel however you feel, in my opinion, but at least you know that something's going on in the universe and it's not just you.  Important internal growth is happening for you at this time.  Try to be at peace with whatever you're feeling.  Try not to overreact or go to the extreme today.  You'll feel this heaviness lift by Saturday.

Leo:  You may be feeling a little moody or nostalgic today.  Let your mind wander and dream a little.  You may want to indulge in some kind of treat.  Be generous with your time and help others if you get the opportunity.

Virgo:  You probably felt very energetic yesterday and quite spent today.  Tomorrow will be experienced best with a dreamy mindset.  You're at risk for making bad decisions due to mental fogginess.  Put off big decisions and just float along for now.

Libra:  It's a really good day to communicate feelings of affection or appreciation to the ones you care about today.  Take in the beauty around you and embrace whatever comfort that brings.  You may even like to try rearranging your living space at this time.

Scorpio:  You may feel a little aimless and passive today.  Embrace this tranquil energy and avoid conflict.  Things that have really mattered to you in the last few days may suddenly seem less important.  While all of this sounds kind of like you're being prepared to be bored or feel that everything is mundane, it's really the opposite.  Instead of doing nothing, a shift in the universe is simply pushing you towards finding inspiration in new places.

Sagittarius:  It's a friendly, social, and laid back day.  Don't push yourself to compete or work too hard. Just enjoy the pleasure of being around people and living your life.

Capricorn:  Your usual drive may have dissipated a little today.  Instead of being so aggressive and working so hard, why not kick back and enjoy time with friends or people that inspire you instead.

Aquarius:  Take care to keep a good balance between work and play today.  Look for inspiration in new places.  Take a walk or go on a drive in the country if time allows.  Maybe you can catch a movie or start a journal to purge some of the constant thought you have.

Pisces:  If you're feeling restless today, you probably just need a little adventure.  Logic and common sense are in short supply right now, so be ready to adjust and adapt accordingly.  Think of the foundation you're trying to build for your future and stay on task.  Pay attention to details and commit to fulfilling all your obligations today.

Horoscope for August 22, 2012

Aries:  It's a good thing if you have big issues and long-term plans on your mind today.  Try to focus on not overlooking important details.  Don't be lax.

Taurus:  There could be a new romance brewing for you.  Be independent and creative today.  Don't be afraid to go in a new direction.  If you're not into creating things yourself, take time to appreciate the artistry of others.  Even just seeing a movie can work.

Gemini:  There's lots of busywork on the agenda for you today.  It's a good time to run errands and make phone calls.  Be grateful for the work.  You're not one who does well when you don't have much to do.

Cancer:  It would be wise to evaluate your relationships today.  If you're in a romantic partnership, see who is giving more and if there is an imbalance that needs to be adjusted.  Approach this topic carefully, openly, and with a sensitive heart.

Leo:  Be very thorough and meticulous while working today.  You need to make sure you do a good job with everything.  You're building a foundation for something bigger in the future, whether you know it or not.  You'll feel good about the effort you put forth.  Social activity is favored as others are feeling cooperative and relationships should be in a state of contentment.

Virgo:  You may feel instinctively driven to do certain things without really understanding where this drive is coming from.  This energy is coming from the reintroduction of things you haven't thought of or experienced in a long time.  I suggest embracing your intuition and following wherever it leads you.

Libra:  You may be unusually pessimistic today.  If so, it's because you're feeling serious and somber instead of light-hearted and social.  Remember that most people go through bouts of feeling down in this dark place on a regular basis.  Don't sweat it if you're feeling it.  Try not to be critical of yourself and things will brighten after tomorrow.

Scorpio: Though relations with others will go smoothly, you'll work best on your own today.  Concentrate on gathering information and observing things.  Knowledge leads to success.  Don't make any absolute decisions until tomorrow.

Sagittarius:  You're going through a period where you're able to gain lots of power and move yourself in a success-oriented direction.  Watch as you gain recognition and popularity.  Don't hurt others in the process.  It's a really good time to listen and learn from others.

Capricorn:  Your life is probably in a state of flux right now.  It's sometimes difficult to know which changes should be made and what needs to stay the same.  A good indication that the time isn't right is if you're met with lots of opposition or find yourself really having to force the change.  Why not just leave it be for a while?  Try to be patient.  Feelings of irritability are to be expected.  Just breath through it.

Aquarius:  The month ahead will focus on finances for you.  Today you'll find that you keep your own best council.  Anything you want to accomplish is possible at this time.  If you find yourself in some kind of power struggle, you'll be happy to notice that it's enjoyable for you.

Pisces:  If you feel isolated and weird today, it's probably because you're allowing yourself to believe in a feeling of hopelessness that isn't accurate.  Don't allow yourself to dwell on any negative thoughts you may have about your body or aging process at this time.  Don't look to older people for support.  Think about reasons to be joyful and be honest with yourself about the direction you're headed and do whatever is needed to alter that route--should you need to.  Be kind and understanding.  Listen to your intuition to get a feel for the day.

Horoscope for August 20, 2012

Aries:  Enjoy the ability to focus easily today and take care of practical matters.  Anything that will make your life more stable and secure is favored.  Tomorrow will be a better day for socializing and fun with friends.

Taurus:  Think about your financial goals and put them into motion today.  You're at the top of your game at this time and able to convince others to favor you.  I wouldn't waste this energy if I were you.

Gemini:  You should feel energetic today an motivated.  Physical exercise is favored, as is working on just about anything, as long as you're being productive.

Cancer:  Interactions with family may be intense right now, so if you're not in the mood, you may want to avoid the fam.  Remember the importance of simply being aware of your emotional state so that you can accommodate yourself appropriately.  You will do well to deal with any ongoing problems that have been weighing on your mind.  You have the energy for it today.

Leo:  It's the perfect day to start a new course of study or begin projects.  Your mind is alert and sharp.  You're able to get your point across effectively today.  Don't rush or make waves, though.  Just let things develop.

Virgo:  As the most habitual (contending with Taurus and the addictive personality of Pisces) sign of the zodiac, you'll be out of place today as you [hopefully] embrace a spirit of change.  Even if you don't do anything different from your usual routine, you'll at least be open to new ideas.

Libra:  It's a good day to work on projects and progress towards goals.  Your ability to focus is better than usual.  Eliminate wasteful things from your life today.

Scorpio:  Your magnetism and personal grace are highlighted today.  A good way to start the day is by mentally preparing yourself for variety, to think outside the box, and to consider new ideas.  Freedom and unconventionality are strong points for you at this time.

Sagittarius:  Avoid scattering your energies today and think in terms of service.  Take care of people who need help and spend time with those who can benefit from a little attention.

Capricorn:  If you're in a relationship, you'll do well to spend quality time with your partner.  If you're single, you may feel compelled to move forward with a love interest.  If you're not interested in romance, a creative endeavor is your best pursuit today.

Aquarius:  Water-bearers everywhere are shifting and settling into new neighborhoods, offices, and routines at this time.  Open your mind to the idea of learning a new language--sometimes just a new set of colloquialisms is all you need to get your foot in the door with a new group.  Mingling with neighbors of any kind is favored.

Pisces:  It's a good day make some kind of donation to a worthy cause.  Tie up loose ends and prepare to start something new.  Things are about to be a little different.  Thinking about the big picture and future plans is favored.  Try not to be lax about small details.

Horoscope for August 19, 2012

Aries:  Keep the idea of perseverance in mind all day today.  If you run into delays or obstructions that seem to hold you back in some way, try to be patient.  Just pick up where you left off and continue moving forward.  Try to rely only on yourself at this time.

Taurus:  You'll do well to stay busy today.  Pay attention to your body and get some exercise. Be mindful about what you're eating.  Try not to fret over little things.  Clean up your place.  When you've reached a stopping point today and begin to relax, you're going to feel great.

Gemini:  Today is about keeping things light and enjoying the company of others.  Why not catch a movie or go on a picnic?  Whatever you do, enjoy a harmonious vibe wherever you go.

Cancer:  Your emotions may lead you astray today.  Try not to make decisions while you're having a bout of moodiness or sensitivity.  Going to family or a very close friend to figure things out is better than stewing about it alone at this time.

Leo:  An optimistic attitude will help guide your thoughts towards future events with enthusiasm at this time. Open your mind to seeing connections and possibilities you may have overlooked before.  Work on tying up loose ends, but don't worry about doing everything perfectly today.  Stick close to home.

Virgo:  You may be feeling a little lucky today.  Be careful not to overcommit yourself to things while in this mental state.  You'll end up overwhelmed later on.  Social relations are great for you right now, so enjoy the company of others and your pleasant mood.

Libra: You should be in a pretty good mood today.  There's really not much to say since the universal influences suggest you enjoy socialization--Libra's comfort zone.  Take your time deciding if you try to commit to something at this time.

Scorpio:  Beautiful people, places, and objects are going to probably effect you more intensely than usual today.  Embrace this energy.  Pay extra attention to your diet and get some exercise today.  If you catch yourself worrying, stop.  Maybe you could try journaling at some point during the day.

Sagittarius:  You may be a bit of a perfectionist today.  Apply this energy to your own self-improvement or to the cleanliness of your home.  Try not to fret so much.  If you're feeling competitive and more driven than usual, wonderful.  Just try to be considerate of others when you begin blazing down that path.

Capricorn:  It's a good idea to focus on your home life and what can be improved in this area of your life.  You may feel a need to share closeness with family or friends.  If there are any underlying issues  you've been avoiding, today is a good time to address them.

Aquarius:  It's a good time for business meetings or getting together with friends.  You're tactful and charming today.  If you can squeeze in a short getaway of some kind, you'll be quite fulfilled.  Pay attention to aesthetics and your ability to appreciate them.

Pisces: Pay attention to details today, even if your colleagues are speeding past you in the process.  Keep your own pace and don't compare yourself to others.  Material benefits are likely to find you today.  Social relationships are harmonious.  Sounds good, right?  It is.

Horoscope for August 16, 2012

Aries:  You're probably experiencing a strong urge to be close to someone and share your deepest thoughts and emotions at this time.  Be mindful of your aggressive nature.  You may be overbearing or too pushy while in this state of mind.

Taurus:  Best advice for today?  Be flexible and open to change.  If there's a feeling of excitement in the air, you're right on track.

Gemini:  Financial transactions should go smoothly for you today.  On this note, expect financial benefits to come your way as well.  Personal relationships are harmonious and new friendships are possible if you're interested and open.

Cancer:  If you're feeling obsessive or great intensity over what you're doing today, be really careful with your limits.  You have a tendency to keep your deepest feelings isolated in a protective shell, which is Ok, but it makes it difficult for outside help to arrive in time.  Talk to someone you trust about what's going on inside that shell of yours.

Leo:  You probably feel like you know what you want right now, so it's probably best to work alone.  You're at risk for being inconsiderate of others and their own wants and desires.  No one says you have to care about what other people want, but you'll save yourself a little conflict if you just avoid working in a group today.  Take advantage of this drive and accomplish something.  Enjoy the energy.  Roar like a lion if you must.

Virgo:  The moon transits into your sign today.  Basically, if you're Stella, you're getting your groove back.  Your mind is clear, attention to detail is perfect, and all of your methods/orders should be running smoothly.  Get stuff done.

Libra:  Open your mind to receive sudden insight or inspiration.  Today isn't going to be a drag if you just get out there and get moving.  Your mind should be moving more quickly and you're in a great place to come up with new solutions to old problems.

Scorpio:  Think about all the projects you've been working on for a while now.  Pick one and set out to put the finishing touches on it today.  Avoid emotional displays, as you're in the spotlight right now.  Expect to continue moving forward in your career.

Sagittarius:  New opportunities are coming your way.  Consider higher education or long-distance travel.  Your mental state may be a little scattered today.  Try to focus when getting advice from a friend or relative.  You're at risk of being stuck inside your own head and unable to receive heartfelt directive information.

Capricorn:  You might feel extra sensitive to the way others perceive you or more concerned with your social standing than usual today.  The funny thing is that Capricorns are more attractive and interesting to everyone at this time.  Don't try to use this to your advantage.  Using this knowledge to lose some of the anxiety you may be feeling is a safe move.

Aquarius:  Be careful with your quips at work.  Something you think is funny may not be so charming to your coworkers.  You could be experiencing nostalgic feelings associated with past relationships at this time.  The need to have a stable partner for support in your life is strong at this time.  Pay tribute to those you can count on today.

Pisces:  Continue to stay on top of your health and wellness.  It should be easier than usual to eat well and stay active during this time.  It's especially good to focus on your job and daily living if you're in a relationship because it's a tumultuous time emotionally for you.  Communication may be difficult to the point of being a waste of time between your partner and you.  If you find yourself talking about it, remember to be objective and patient for best results.

Horoscope for August 16, 2012

Aries:  Today might be kind of stressful.  Try not to put yourself in a position to be waiting.  If you can't avoid it, make sure you bring something to occupy your time.  If you're planning to just kick back and relax today, I suggest at least getting some exercise so you don't get antsy by evening and stuck with nothing to do.

Taurus: Ooo Taurus is a machine today!  You're attention to detail and natural ability to focus are more pronounced than usual.  Sounds like it's a great time to work on projects or wrap up any lingering issues that are making you uncomfortable.  Go get 'em tiger, er, bull!

Gemini:  Don't be surprised if you experience very intense emotional connections or a need to reveal deep, underlying issues with your partner today.  Your comfort zone is to keep things light, but this intensity could really be useful, so go with it.

Cancer:  You have strange desires, impulses, and feelings which are difficult to describe or understand. Your usual daily pursuits seem drab, meaningless, or curiously unsatisfying, so that it may be difficult to motivate yourself and focus on your work. On the other hand, you can get very fired up about something out of the ordinary, an ideal or dream, or fantasy that you usually consider too impractical to actually do anything about. Your imagination is very active. Artistic, creative work which expresses a visionary, whimsical, or fantastic quality is very fulfilling to you at this time.

Leo:  You can expect to be in the spotlight more than usual today--in a good way.  If you find yourself in this position, rest assured that everyone approves.  You're dealing with who you're evolving into being.  Keep and open mind in your relationships at this time.

Virgo: Focus on your own work today and center your forces on one task at a time.  Don't lash out on others if they stand in the way of your progress.  Just adjust your path and move forward.

Libra: Hopefully you'll notice the beauty in your surroundings today.  If the people you're surrounded by aren't pleasing to you, leave.  If your home doesn't appeal, do something to improve it.

Scorpio:  It's likely that you'll experience sudden insights and make discoveries today.  Try to be flexible with your schedule and open to spontaneity.  Also, sharing your material possessions will make you feel good at this time.  Gardening and hiking are favored activities as well.

Sagittarius:  It's a good day to play with different personas you've imagined for yourself.  Be wild and free.  It's Ok to take center stage sometimes.  Enjoy this performative energy!

Capricorn:  You may have noticed an increase in days where you feel more emotional or intuitively connected to the people you hold dear.  I'm not sure what's up with that yet, but I know today is another day where you're able to take advantage of a shift in the focus of your comfort zone.  Let your hair down or loosen your tie, so to speak, and lighten up as you focus on relationships instead of work for a while.

Aquarius:  You're likely to be thinking about future plans and the big picture with enthusiasm and positivity today.  This is wonderful, but pay attention to details and fine print so you don't overlook anything important.  While you may have emotional challenges in intimate relationships at this time, time spent with friends or making a new one is time well spent.

Pisces:  It's a really good time to focus on your physical well-being.  You may be a little irritable today, but at least try to eat well.  You may find that it's a bit of a service day in that you'll be helping others more than you're helping yourself.  That's why it's important to treat yourself well physically.  You'll feel good about yourself on all accounts by the end of the day.

Horoscope for August 15, 2012

Aries: Enjoy a lively imagination today.  Try to do something creative or at least give yourself some time to daydream.

Gemini: It's important to you to get rid of wasteful things and make your world run more efficiently today.  Expect a good, strong focus with whatever you're doing today.

Cancer:  You may be considering a major overhaul or revision in your ambitions at this time. If you do not have a sense of meaningful purpose or a passionate commitment to anything, you will want to reassess where you are going and why. If you do have a clear goal, you can make significant progress and work with great satisfaction now. An opportunity to do what you really want to do is likely.

Leo:  Relationships are intense right now as suppressed issues and emotions begin to surface.  Try to give yourself room to relax today and evaluate/attend to your mental state.

Virgo:  See horoscope for Leo, as you're being influenced by the same energy today.  Your best bet to diffuse this energy is to sit down and make a list or map out a solution to any problems.

Libra:  See Leo, as your being influenced by the same energy today.  To distract yourself from this energy, if you don't feel like tackling problems, go out and socialize!

Scorpio: Don't start anything new today.  Instead, clear your desk in preparation for tomorrow. 

Sagittarius:  An intense emotional or sexual attraction, a very revealing, intimate encounter, or a powerful desire to be close to and share your deepest feelings with someone is very likely now. Emotions and issues in a close relationship that have been brewing beneath the surface for quite awhile come to the surface at this time, possibly in a very disruptive way. All of your relationships intensify and you need to be aware of your tendency to act in a compulsive, demanding way towards others.

Capricorn: It's a good idea to make room for a little spontaneous energy in your life today.  Try to be flexible. 

Aquarius:  Having to focus on your obligations may get you down in the dumps today.  Try to focus and get things done so you can relax and enjoy yourself by this evening--or at least by tomorrow. 

Pisces:  If you work hard and stay focused today, the rest of the week will be easy.  Also, if you feel a bit of a dark cloud over your head, just force yourself to stay positive.  It will pass soon.

Leo:  At work, it's a good time to get organized.  Tear down the old to begin rebuilding the new.  Know that you're in the right place at the right time today.  Don't be discouraged by a slow-moving progression or interruptions.  Just keep moving forward.

Virgo:  Something you thought you lost may resurface today.  In relationships, a subject you thought had been put to rest may come up again.

Scorpio:  Don't worry if you're feeling a little stagnant and bored in your relationships today.  Interactions with new people are particularly stimulating.  Enjoy the thrill of getting to know someone new, but remember where your allegiance lies.  You can also expect to be more intrigued by mysteries than usual.  Your ability to know when people are being sincere or dishonest is spot on today.

Sagittarius:  You may get help from an unexpected resource today.  It's a good time to take risks and think big.  Employ new problem-solving ideas at this time.

Capricorn:  It's a nice time to think about finances and be mindful of your budget and bills.  It's also a good day to spend time with an old friend or mentor.

Aquarius:  Seek out those who like to have a good time.  Philanthropic and charitable impulses are strong at this time.  If you've been considering working for yourself, it's a good time to really start making that plan workable.  This is an endeavor you can really benefit from.  Otherwise, work on tying up loose ends and taking care of errands and chores today.

Pisces: It's a busy day with lots of calls/texts/interactions with people.  Don't be afraid to make your opinion known.  The spotlight is on cooperation as you consider the direction you're headed and why you've chosen this path.  New relationships may begin forming today.

Horoscope for August 12, 2012

Aries:  If you're in a relationship and feel restless, don't be surprised if you're extremely attracted to someone new at this time.  It may be OK to flirt, but don't make any poor decisions, as this feeling is fleeting and will pass.  Applying this restless energy to an exercise routine or spending time creating exciting plans for the future is probably time better spent.

Taurus:  Treat yourself to something indulgent.  Your best choice is something that will improve your appearance or surroundings in some way, as opposed to a fancy dessert or cocktail hour.

Gemini:  As Gemini, your forces tend to be a little (Ok, very) scattered.  The best way for you to focus is by multi-tasking and doing many things at once.  Remember this today if you find it difficult to get anything done.

Cancer:  Today is a good one for thinking about ways to improve yourself.  Keep the big picture in mind, but start off small.  Maybe you'd like to spend more time in prayer or your fitness routine has been lacking.  Perhaps you'd simply like to think more positively.  Pick up a magazine or movie that inspires you.

Leo:  You might have a foggy head today, but you'll be surprised at how well you can communicate.  It's a good day to meet up with friends to do some catching up.  You're able to see both sides of any story at this time.

Virgo:  If you're feeling reflective today, give yourself time and space to meditate or just focus your mind in some way.  It's a great time to visit with elderly folks or a mentor.

Libra:  It's a wonderful time to get out of the house an socialize, but be careful of a tendency to overindulge today.

Sagittarius:  You're probably going to be busy today.  Exchanging ideas, voicing your opinion, and catching up with friends are all favored.

Capricorn:  If you're feeling restless in your relationship today, try changing up your routine to satisfy your need for something new.  Maybe a new restaurant or rearranging your place will help to satiate you.  Get some exercise.

Aquarius: If you're feeling mentally alert, you're on track to come up with some fresh ideas today.  Try applying some thought outside the box and figure out new solutions for old problems.

Pisces:  If you're going to travel, even just for a ride in the country, be sure to double check your gas levels and pack water.  It's a good time to tie up lose ends and take care of things you've been putting off.

Horsocope for August 10, 2012

Taurus: You're likely to have interesting interactions with women today, if you pay attention.  You're able to get along well with others and complete tasks easily.  If you're feeling nostalgic, give someone a call with whom you can reminisce.

Gemini:  The moon entered your sign today which makes you a little more enigmatic than usual.  You may also find it even harder to concentrate on what needs to be done since your daydreams are probably very distracting at this time.  I suggest just letting yourself dream away.  Once you get it out of your system, you'll be able to work.

Sagittarius:  Variety and taking chances are key today.  You should try new things and explore your ability to think outside the box during this 24 hour period.

Capricorn:  If you're unhappy with intimacy right now, you're at risk for acting on a whim.  Avoid letting this frustrating energy turn into irritability by doing some exercise.  If you feel fulfilled in your relationship or happy that you're not in one, enjoy the fact that you've dodged a bullet today.

Aquarius: Sometimes you need to step away from a problem to put it in the proper perspective.  It's likely that familial issues have been a bother lately.  Tonight you should plan to stay in and relax in solitude.

Pisces:  Think of what you need to accomplish today and put your biggest problem at the top of your priorities.  This is obviously good advice for anyone on any day, but if you don't adopt this method today, you really won't get anything done.  Other than that, the energy for your sign is good at this time.

August 5, 2012 Horoscopes

Aries: A little celebration is in order if you've had good fortune.  You probably feel like indulging in something luxurious or at least showing your friends a good time.  Go with it, but don't overdo it.  Try to spend reasonably and set some boundaries for yourself.  As granny as that sounds, you'll be grateful if you abide.

Taurus:  Your natural inclination to push back when pushed is stronger than usual today.  Normally you're a careful, calculated worker, but if you're feeling irritable or hot-tempered, it's probably best to work alone at this time.  Impulsive behavior is likely to end in an accident.

Libra:  It's a good time to think about financial matters.  Putting a pencil to paper and revamping your budget (or creating one for the first time) will bode well for you today.  Investing in something that will increase in value over time is a good idea... if that's something you've been considering.

Scorpio:  You may feel a little gloomy today, but unlike the case with Sagittarius, yours should clear up by tomorrow.  Just do whatever keeps you comfortable and stay positive.

Sagittarius:  Don't be discouraged if you feel a little pessimistic or disappointed in others today.  It's just the universe.  Keep your thoughts to yourself as much as possible and you'll probably find that you feel a little better tomorrow.  You'll be glad you didn't spread the negativity today.  If you still feel like this for a few days, still don't be discouraged.  It's possible that a feeling of disconnect or detachment may linger for the entire week.  There are benefits to feeling this way.  If you understand that it's not here to stay, you can stay positive.  Also, it's good for a Sadge to have a little bit of a dark cloud since it can sometimes temper an often risky need for adventure and impulse.  Embrace whatever you're feeling and trust that it's meant to be.

Pisces:  It's a really good day to either work on financial matters or spend time with a mentor or someone you look up to as being wiser than you.  Hey, if it works out, maybe you can go over your financial goals with that wise person you have in mind!  There's another bit of energy surrounding your sign today.  It encourages you to talk to someone that's been weighing on your mind.  Honesty is your best bet today.

Aries:  Take advantage of your ability to sympathize and and connect with others emotionally.  This dreamy state is likely to take a bit of a turn tomorrow.

Taurus:  Enjoy a feeling of strength and vitality today.  Exercise and productivity are favored.  Try to get as much done during this bout of confidence as you can, as tomorrow may not be so stellar.

Gemini: If you're disappointed in your romantic affairs, why don't you put a little work into this area of your life today.  Take advantage of any romantic feelings or the urge to daydream a little.

Cancer: Your best point of focus today is on your long term goals, not the minor details of daily living.  Forget the laundry and keep your mind on your future for now.  If the future is overwhelming to you at this time, seek out an inspirational read or film to watch.

Leo: Take it easy with your body today and try to conserve your energy.  It's a good time to work towards making some fantasy a reality.  Trying to begin a new diet isn't a good idea today because tomorrow it's going to be impossible to resist indulging.

Virgo: You may have the chance to get back with an ex-lover today, but don't do it.  I mean, I know you will, but you shouldn't.  If you're able to dodge this issue, enjoy a dreamy day full of good feelings and imagination.

Libra:  You may have some fleeting thought or distracting daydream today.  Give your inner workings a little attention and explore the idea.

Scorpio:  Don't waste time trying to predict how today is going to be (but don't feel bad for checking your horoscope, haha) just be prepared to go with the flow.  There's likely to be an emotional outburst of some kind in your world.  It's also a good time to enjoy the arts--catch a movie or thumb through a magazine that inspires you, maybe?

Sagittarius:  It's in your nature to be an idea-person, but today is extra great for thinking up new plans and creative projects.  Be careful with your outbursts if you care not to offend others at this time.  People are kind of sensitive at this time.

Capricorn:  It would bode really well for you if you took a break from your work-work-working all the time to just relax and enjoy your home and family today.  Pamper someone you care about if you're able.

Aquarius:  It would be wise to free up some space for your schedule to change and embrace the ability to be spontaneous during this time.  You should feel more mentally alert than usual.  Use this to dream up alternative ways for doing things in your life.

Pisces:  The vibe you're getting is probably really comfortable for you since a dreamy, emotional veil has settled over the world today.  Enjoy the benefits of being able to navigate these waters, but for the sake of others, try to stay focused on reality.  Be on time and don't start anything you aren't willing to finish.

Horoscope for August 2, 2012

Aries:  It's a good day to rearrange your home or add something to your decor.  If you're in a relationship, doing something to improve it is favored today.

Taurus:  If you're feeling sociable, it's a good time to go ahead and join friends in something fun and show yourself a good time.  Even if you're stuck at work, try to enjoy the company of your coworkers.

Gemini: Avoid abusing substances today.  You're likely to be a little off or groggy mentally as it is at this time.  Pay attention to details as best you can and double check appointment times to make sure you don't forget.  If you can afford to and don't feel like fighting the battle, take the day off and do nothing.

Cancer:  You probably feel tuned in to your spirituality and to the needs of those around you today.  Nurturing others is something is fulfilling to Cancer, so indulge in the act of caring for another.  Open yourself to seeing beauty today.

Leo: Buying and selling is favored today, as you're able to communicate clearly at this time.  Take care to listen to others when the spotlight is no longer on you.  Do whatever it takes to maintain your mental clarity.

Virgo: It's a great time to make decisions about your finances.  It's a good day for spending quality time with someone you really care about or an older person you respect.

Libra:  You're likely to feel very strongly about some topic or point of view you have today.  Pay attention and don't try to force others to agree with you or take an interest in something they don't seem to care about.  Seek out those who are on the same page as you to share today's passionate feelings with.

Scorpio: It's another great day concerning your career/job.  Expect some kind of bonus, whether it's better shifts, a new opportunity, or an increase in pay.  Sink your teeth into your work and open up to possibilities.

Sagittarius: You may behave a little childishly today because of a desire to do what you want to do instead of what you should be doing.  If you're able, free up your schedule to give yourself the freedom to go wherever the wind takes you.

Capricorn: You may feel a little awkward today as you're likely to be emotional.  This isn't your comfort zone if you're a typical Capricorn.  Try to embrace this bout of intuition and feeling.  Bond with emotional people you care about today.

Aquarius: You probably feel very decisive and certain of what you believe in today (well, that's kind of natural for Aquarius every day... but today especially).  Be warned that you may be stirring things up as you voice your solid opinion.

Pisces:  Seek out positive relationships today to get the affection and approval you're likely to seek at this time.  Make time to treat yourself to something indulgent today if you want it out of your system by tomorrow.

Horoscope for August 1, 2012

Aries:  Expect to feel your usual sense of confidence return today after a period of feeling unsure and unmotivated.  Start thinking about a new plan for self-improvement (new exercise regimen? new budget? vacation from your daily stresses?) that will be best implemented on the 17th of this month.

Taurus: Your intuition is unusually active today if you just listen to it.  You should feel harmonious interacting with others.  Use this energy to your advantage by making plans with friends for tomorrow when you can expect this feeling to continue.


Gemini: You probably feel inspired and energetic today.  While focusing on one thing isn't something I advise for Gemini, I will say it's a good idea to be cautious today.  Don't bite off more than you can chew or take any big risks if you're on the fence about it.  

Cancer: You may have an underlying intensity today that could translate into a need to love and be loved, to let go of something that hurt you, or maybe just extra emotions that need to be released.  Spend some time writing in a journal or meditating, enjoy being in your nest at home, or if you're in a relationship, plan to spend some quality time with him/her tonight.


Leo: It's a great time to be Leo!  Go out to see and be seen!  It's a good time to promote yourself and your ideas... you'll gain support.  Friend, familial, and/or romantic relations with women are especially favored at this time.


Virgo: Today is about making an important decision.  Figuring out the right answer probably won't be easy, so spend some time on this.  Dig out some paper and a pen to start mapping out your options, making lists, and weighing pros and cons.  Deconstructing a problem to find a solution is one of your many talents.  If the change you're seeking involves finance, wait until tomorrow to tackle the issue.

Libra:  If you meet someone today or notice an existing relationship (this is not limited to romance and could simply be a new friend) begin to blossom, you should feel good about it.  It's very promising.  This is a great time to express affection and feel warmth with others.

Scorpio:  Family relations might be a little tumultuous today and you might feel irritable or like you can't let problems go.  Try to physically release some of this negative energy through exercise of some kind.  If you still feel compelled to, work on some ongoing issue that needs to be resolved.  For this entire month, if you feel antsy or like you need to focus on something, make your career your top priority.  The universe favors Scorpio's pursuit of success at this time.

Sagittarius:  Take advantage of any feelings of confidence or your ability to succeed today and go for it.  You're likely to be more focused on fun tomorrow, so put the work in today!


Capricorn: Focus your energy inward at this time.  When I say inward, I mean your family and closest friends, your body and vitality, and your home.  Don't worry about recognition today.  Think of yourself as an elite machine that churns out a valuable product.  With this in mind, today is a maintenance day.  Clean yourself up and spend some time replenishing, relaxing, and restoring your home-life so you can return to the workforce with energy.  If you can't take time off on such short notice, plan to relax a little on Friday, the 3rd.

Aquarius: Don't be surprised if you get extra pissed when others oppose you today or stand in your way.  It's probably best to work alone instead of trying to orchestrate a group effort.  Try not to be combative, as it will only stir up trouble at this time.

Pisces: It's a good-feeling day for Pisces, but be careful not to overindulge.  You're at risk for believing nothing can go wrong, for overspending, and overeating today.  Just keep your sensibilities close to your heart.  The urge to enjoy friends and downtime carries over into tomorrow.  People at work may seem irritable today.  If you can manage to avoid having any kind of agenda, you'll be able to play an important role in problem-solving for yourself and others at this time.
