My Horoscope is in Cahoots With my Husband 1

Asking for what you want is a sign of self-care, not selfishness, so let your needs be known. Step back from a conflict and let it run its course under the self-regulating Aries Moon. Dress in blue to maintain an objective view of things.

Streamline. Make room for a new energy to drop into your world. The closet is a good place to start. The uncom­fortable shoes have to go.

Yes, I said cahoots. I've been meaning to clean out the closet. I've actually started but, fine, I'll finish it. Fine.

No streamlining, no conflict, no dressing in blue. Just work and dinner out.

Pearls and the Pisces Moon 3

You'll be eager to start new projects under today’s Pisces Moon, but there are some loose ends you need to tie up first. Take an inventory of the things in your life that need closure, and cast off old, lifeless energies to clear a path for new interests. Wear or carry pearls to summon fresh spiritual direction. Your creative side will emerge under tonight’s Aries Moon, so immerse yourself in an artistic project or get lost in a great film.

I AM eager to start new projects, especially the one with potential this afternoon! Fingers crossed! Wearing my pearls!

Not sure that I tied up any loose ends or that my creative side emerged but I had a great afternoon buying shoes with my kids and working on a TV show.

Trust My Instincts and Hopefully Make Some Money 1

A business proposal could appear out of the blue when Mars enters Libra today, and you may have to make a decision on fairly short notice. Weighing the pros and cons could prove challenging as the Moon travels through your sign, so trust your instincts if facts aren’t available. Your social calendar will be full this evening; you'll reconnect with people you haven’t seen in ages, one of whom will have an amazing secret to share with you!

Making money isn't everything, but it seems like it is because your work life just shifted. Now is a good time to make an effort to get financial security going.

Today sounded like a great day until I got to the second 'scope. My life is one big struggle to get financial security going! But maybe that business proposal will help! Instincts, don't fail me now!

Good day, but kinda disappointing as no business proposal materialized and my social calendar was less than full this evening. In fact, I spent the day driving kids from drivers ed to golf course to ice rink to pool and was in my pj's by 8:00 pm. And how am I supposed to put any effort into getting financial security going while I'm driving kids from drivers ed to golf course to ice rink to pool?

Now I'm waiting up for instructions for work tomorrow. Ah, the glamorous life of a freelance extra.

Ok, Ok, I'll Trust My Instincts 8

Instead of wasting your time trying to get others to change, focus on what you can do to improve things. Eat more natural and whole grain foods to boost your energy. It’s time to let go of bad habits, ethereal connections, and counter-productive actions that are limiting your forward movement; journal to discover where change is needed.

Your instincts are spot on. You have an inkling about what is going to happen, and the more you think about it the more likely it will happen sooner rather than later.

Is it instinct? Or just wishful thinking? How can I tell? I guess I DID a call about an audition this morning.

I'm so good at second-guessing my instincts that I'm usually surprised that they remain trustworthy. Sorry, instincts. I don't mean to doubt you. Trusted them today that I was meant to work, even though it was turning into a ton of negotiating and scheduling to make it happen then I got a call that the work day had been changed - to a much better day for me. Now, instincts, I need you to tell my nerves that everything will work out.

Keep Working Towards WHAT Goal? 1

Supporting your loved ones is admirable as long as you remember to also take care of yourself.

Mercury's move into Virgo will inspire you to consider making a career change or starting an important personal project. Keep working toward your goals despite the odds, and remember that anything is possible with the right spiritual backing.

Your friends are there for you as a fallback, but this is a mo­ment when it benefits you most to go it alone.

I'm beginning to hate these dreary work-on-yourself Horoscopes. Where's the money? The fun? I don't even know what my goals ARE, Horoscope! How am I suppose to keep working towards them?

Bleh.

Giant-Slaying Stones and Washing Walls 5

Someone may want more from you than you're willing or able to give, but you don't have to become a victim of anyone else's guilt trip today.

Follow your instincts under today's effervescent Aquarius Moon. With the Star as this week's tarot card, it will be easier than ever to make a wish and witness it coming true before your very eyes!

If you really hate what you're doing, stop telling yourself to hang in there. Your first duty is to yourself. These are hours of your life. Spend them happily.

You’ve been looking far and near, but the giant-slaying stone has been right in front of you.

The "giant-slaying stone"??? What giant am I slaying? What does the stone look like? What will I win? Hmmmm, today could be interesting.

I DID hate what I was doing today. Washing walls is NOT my idea of fun. But now I'm wondering if the "giant-slaying stone" was my own elbow grease because these walls were a mess and we thought we were going to have to totally repaint a good part of the house and now we aren't at all because they look fabulous. Am I reaching? Am I trying to make it fit? Am I sore? Oh yes.

Mind Your Own Business 3

Pay close attention to all you hear and see today or you'll miss something important. Avoid getting caught up in any conflicts that don't involve you directly, and keep your attention on your own business under the grounding Capricorn Moon.

When the planet of luck seems to be in reverse motion, your luck may soon be changing.

Mistakes help you learn. When the important event really goes down, you'll be happy for these trail runs.

OK, Horoscope, I've been promised life-changing money and chance encounters and none of it has shown up so I don't think it's fair if you actually do dispense bad luck, missed opportunities, and mistakes. I'll be careful today; but I don't think it's fair.

I wasn't careful and I didn't mind my own business. If there was something important, I missed it.

Ok, Sagittarius, Watcha Got? 3

The Sun’s entry into Leo will restore your sense of hope and optimism for the future.

A chance meeting will have lasting consequences. You will parlay a short conversation into a whole life chapter. Sagittarius may be a key player in this.

I am ON THE LOOKOUT for any life-changing chance encounters today! Who will I run into? Could it be YOU?

No chance encounters today. And certainly none that could be parlayed into a whole life chapter. I'm a little disappointed, Horoscope. I'm so good at parlaying.

Money From an Unexpected Source 6

You’ll receive money from an unexpected source when Saturn enters balancing Libra and takes some of the pressure off your financial concerns. While the Moon is in Sagittarius, carefully document the facts at work and at home or you'll forget or misplace important information.

So much delicious energy is spilling out of you that it’s refresh­ing everyone around. You feel like you can do anything. You can, and you will.

You may be dazzled by so many possibilities in your life that you don't know which way to turn today. Thankfully, magic is working in your favor now; when you finally stop your expert analysis and simply begin to move, you will be heading in exactly the right direction.

Wonder if that Moon in Sagittarius will try to make me misplace the money from an unexpected source.

This is why I get irritated: I did get money from an unexpected source but not enough to ease any financial pressure. And I'm not sure I was all that energetic, or felt magic leading me in the right direction. But 100 bucks is 100 bucks! So, thanks!

Why are the Sun and the Moon and the Planets and Pink Shirts Trying to Slow Me Down? 2

Some of the char­acters around you will not get along with one another, but they will get along with you.

The illuminating Sun in your 5th House of Self-Expression is being deceived by your key planet Neptune today which muddies the waters of your mind. It's challenging for you because you want to take control of a situation that may be just out of your reach. Your overconfidence may cause you to jump to a conclusion and build a strategy on an incorrect assumption. It's helpful if you move slowly now and leave the bigger decisions for another day.

The Scorpio Moon will cast a light on some household tasks you need to handle as well as those areas where you've been lax about taking care of yourself. Wear red to boost your staying power so you can accomplish everything on your list for the day.

Wow, the Sun and Moon are really on my ass today. And Neptune isn't being very nice either. Are these the "characters" around me that aren't getting along with each other? And thanks, Scorpio Moon, but you're a little late. I'm already aware of the household tasks I need to accomplish today. Got a list; I'm good.

Soooo, I put on a red shirt today but when I got to the restaurant to meet my friends for lunch one of them complimented me on my pretty "pink" shirt and I said "No, it's red, my horoscope told me to wear red" and my other friend said "Um, the wall is red, your shirt is pink. But it's pretty" so I spent the day wearing pink instead of red and I totally think that is the reason that I did not accomplish everything on my list today.

A Weather-Related Horoscope! Awesome! 6

The weather out­side is fickle, but your interior forecast looks sunny and bright. This particular patch of sunlight will be large and long.

Wish I knew to what you are referring, Horoscope. Is it the move? The writing? The new attitude? I appreciate the attagirl but could use some more specifics.

Take It Slow

Financial imbalances will ease in a week or two, but you should resist the urge to create new debt in the meantime. Watch what you eat now, or you could experience a stomach ailment.

Assume nothing. Take the time to sense and feel others. All communication will be improved.

OK, I get it. Take things slow today.

What's the problem? 3

A problem you thought was resolved will resurface under today’s Libra Moon and require your attention yet again. Refrain from making any large buys this weekend, for the things you want are almost certain to go on sale next week. Dress in pink or aqua to generate a calm, balanced atmosphere this evening.

Perhaps the "problem" is that I want to buy something large right now instead of waiting.

So, no problems resurfaced today. I didn't buy anything. I didn't dress in pink or aqua, though I did wear a bracelet with both colors to be calm and balanced and you know what? I think I was.

Well played, Horoscope 5

A new diet or physical activity will create the energy boost you need; dress in yellow to add even more power to your actions. Venus will manifest a brush with the past when it moves into Virgo today, so don't be surprised if a message from an old friend shows up in your email or voicemail box this evening.

You’re not materi­alistic by nature, but there are one or two items you find yourself wishing you had.

So, Horoscope, you have been listening. Have to say I was a little freaked out when I read this this morning while wearing a yellow shirt right after a 3-mile walk! Though, I'm not sure the walk is the energy boost I need for work tonight. The boost I need would be these pants not feeling so tight. When did THAT happen?

And I wonder who I'm going to hear from?

Cranky for a Reason 1

You probably aren't as easygoing as you were yesterday because quicksilver Mercury trines electric Uranus, shocking your nervous system with outlandish thoughts. Some of your current ideas may be truly brilliant but they cannot take form unless you choose to nurture them. Get your required tasks out of the way so you have sufficient time to develop your unconventional inspirations.

You'll be part of a student body. The difference between you and the others in this group is that you will take what you learn to the next level.

I was not part of a student body today, nor did I feel particularly unconventional or brilliant. The only thing I did today was change my hairstyle, and it sounded a lot more radical than it actually looks.

Horoscope, why are you so off lately? Is it me? Am I doing something wrong? Am I not behaving like a proper Pisces?

Thursday, July 8, 2010

What will I find? 1

Don't be discouraged by the blocks or negative messages that litter your path; simply turn your attention inward. Something you lost three or four months ago will reappear in the strangest place today.

Encouraging words come at just the right time. All you have to do is let them sink in. You'll soon feel your willpower surge and your mind grow sharp. You're ready for action.

All right! I'm looking forward to a day of positive messages and reclaiming lost items!

But....no willpower, no found items, no encouraging words. WTH, Horoscope?

An Invitation 2

New energies and inspirational dreams will mark the start of a fresh cycle under today’s Taurus Moon. Be prepared to change direction when an unexpected invitation comes your way midday. To honor your commitment to spiritual growth, dress in white to add clarity and intuitive awareness to your every move.

Ok, Horoscope, I know the invitation I'm hoping for today. Don't let me down. But I can't dress in white because I have an audition and white really isn't appropriate for the role that I'm auditioning for, but how about I wear white the rest of the day?

No invitation today...or was there one? I kind of met a new friend and that's like an invitation, right? An invitation to be a friend? Still, there wasn't anything that felt completely new or unexpected.

What have I done to deserve this? 1

It may feel a little weird, but give yourself a high-five. Congratulations are in order. You have triumphed.

No idea what this is about; but hoping it means some good news today.

And if I triumphed in anything, no one told me.
