9.18.2017 – 9.24.2017

Do you know what true love, true creativity and “playing” are? They’re things you do for the pure joy of doing them, and for absolutely no purpose other than your own, childlike enjoyment. Aries, you’re such a plucky, fun, energetic, brave, direct and adventurous leader. Your valiant heart is ready to laugh, to fight for love and to cheer for the underdog at all times.

Are you feeling your emotional juices flowing in your creative spaces right now? Does your heart feel playfully joyful this week? What are you feeling right now, Aries, in the realm of what you do for the pure joy of doing it? This activity makes you feel good, it makes you feel juicy, and it makes you feel alive. Yes, this action, this feeling, serves a practical purpose too – because how could our lives be meaningful without the fun factor?

You’ve been putting energy into your day-to-day tasks, routines, chores and health practices of late, but this week you’re getting an extra hit of seductive, emotional surprise – something lasting in the realm of love, children and creativity. Maybe it has to do with your relationship and emotional connection to your art, and the joyful lover of life you naturally are. Or maybe it has to do with an energetic lover. Play, Aries. And feel joyful in your body this week. How can you infuse love/joy/creativity/play into your daily routines of life in a lasting way?

If something hasn’t immediately come to mind, here’s a hint: Think back to the past, to your school days, to growing up as a funny, headstrong little Aries boy or girl. What did you like doing most back then when you were in the community of your peers? Did your teacher/parent/schoolmate/responsible person ever lead the group in a hilariously fun activity? What was it, and what did you and the other kids experience together? More importantly, how did it make you feel? I want you to have that feeling this week, Aries. And I want you to do at least one thing to experience that feeling.

This horoscope is based on your Sun Sign. In addition to the Sun, there are nine other planets and countless more points of astrological interest that describe you personally.

I hope this past month has been fun for you Taurus. I hope your humor, your wit, your creative zeal, your willingness to be playful – and the fantasy of romantic love – has been charged with a jolt of energy. In the context of all this fun and play, I want you to look back into your past. Go back to the womb of your creation, into your family history, how you grew up, and how your needs were met when you were a sweet little Taurus boy or girl.

What were your mom and dad like, Taurus? How did they balance the responsibilities of career and taking care of children, house and home? Did mom tend to your needs while dad went to work? Did both your parents go to work and leave you with a babysitter? Did you feel like you were left alone all the time, or did they never leave you alone? How did your parents’ work/life balance make you feel as a kid, and how do you feel about it now? Most importantly, what have you learned from that feeling that you can apply to your life this week?

Here’s the trick: You learned something from your parents’ work/life balance and – according to the astrological omens – it’s a great time for you to check in on how you’re balancing that in your life right now. Would your child-self approve?

Ask the inner child from your past to approve/disapprove of the way you’re going about achieving a balance between (1) nurturing you and/or your family’s need to feel safe and be cared for, and (2) the achievement of your soul’s highest ambitions in the world of your career, your reputation, and how you’re seen by your community in the public spaces.

Let’s tie all this back into the theme of the month: joy, fun, play and love. The better you can balance career ambitions with the way you meet your need for nurturing comfort and stability, the more capable you’ll be of expressing joy, humor, love and the sense of playful fun in your life.

This month has been about house, home and family Gemini. You’ve been thinking a lot about – and putting energy into – your home life and how to make sure you and your family’s needs are met by building firm, solid, practical foundations of safety in this regard. Well-planned, well-organized and perfectly safe, would be the operative phrasing. The energy you’ve been able to put here has been intense.

You might have experienced a little internal criticism or critique about this – because your efforts have been so detail oriented and practical – but overall, I think the energy you’ve put here has been a good thing, as you have tapped into your power to take proactive action to achieve your needs of safety and security.

This criticism/critique you might have experienced could be in relation to the long-term partnerships and commitments – romantic, business or friendship – that you’re a part of. In being practical and putting energy into the security of your foundations, are you also taking seriously you and your partners’ need to have a sense of free-spirited, big picture optimism and expansive freedom? When it comes to meeting your needs in a grounded, earthy way, can you keep you and your partners’ sense of optimism and expansive freedom in your local environment?

Here’s the trick: I want you to do a little bit of emotional time traveling this week Gemini. I want you to go back in time and think about the big dreams and optimism you had as a child. What did you think about the world, what was your life philosophy like – and specifically – what did you think your future would feel like? Go back in time, Gemini. Explore the feelings connected to what you thought you’d feel like in the future when you were a child. How would your child-self judge the way you feel today in your local neighborhood, and how are you communicating that vision? You may find it especially easy this week to express, embody, and communicate your child’s future visions in your current local environment.

Observe your local spaces as if you were your past self, and communicate what you see. This will help you stay philosophical, and prevent you from feeling like you’re stuck in the muck of simply meeting your practical needs for safety and security.

I’d like you to think about it and talk about it this week. You’re so good at keeping your secrets, and, yes, that’s a good thing for you. And, when a friend shares his or her inner emotional world with you, you keep it so safe, like it’s the most precious and fragile thing that ever existed.

This week, however, you want to let something out of your mouth. We’ve all been thinking about chinks in the armor of the world – what isn’t quite right in the zeitgeist and what isn’t quite perfect with the spiritual vision of the global community. And out of all the signs, you probably feel most compelled to blurt it out for everyone.

“Can you all be a little more compassionate, you ask? Can’t you be more sensitive? What you just said (did/have been doing) is horribly out of alignment with the perfect mystical/spiritual/peaceful ideal I have my sights on. Could you pick that up and make it look cleaner? If you changed your thinking a little, wow, you could feel more expansive and optimistic,” you might want to say. Perhaps what you’ve been thinking is entirely different from these examples, Cancer. My question to you is: What have you been noticing that needs to change?

When you’re feeling an urge to spew the fire of truth onto everyone in the name of cleaning up the messiness you can’t help thinking about, I urge you to pause and apply liberal amounts of your innate kindness, compassion and deep nurturing wisdom. I want you to speak the truth with the softness and kindness that only you are capable of, and only speak the truth that will help. Keep the rest a secret for now. You’ll probably ruffle some feathers, but if you do it right, the ones you touch with your fire – even if it upsets them – will know you’re doing it from a deep place of love and caring.

This week: I hope you can show your passionate emotions because they will be fused – at the same time – with stabilizing emotional harmony. Surprise people with your impassioned stability, as you deliver critical and perfectionistic truths from a place of love, emotional wisdom, harmony, understanding and grounded solidity.

This is the week to start that surprising, creative, rebellious new thing, Leo. It’s a new moon, and with every new moon comes an influx of energy that gives us the momentum to start something new and stick with it to completion. What is it you want to start, Leo? We talked about this in your last Horoscope.

Let me describe what it looks like. It feels attractive and juicy, and exciting and fantastic and shiny. It might have to do with your physical body or your competitive, “fitnessy” agenda to be the star of track and field. It might have to do with a new relationship. It might be a new business venture or a new artistic project. Whatever it is, it touches your emotional tenderness and fulfills your needs with a sense of foreign, surprising, newness and lasting, solid practicality. It follows the rules and it’s respectable, and breaks the rules and shocks people at the very same time. Wow, this new thing really hits the spot!

What is this shiny, tender, practical – yet rebelliously edgy – thing you’re starting, Leo? I want to know. I also want you to stay financially practical about it. You might be so excited that you overextend your resources or go into debt. Check with an accountant if it helps you stay realistic money-wise. You’ve got so much power right now in your house of financial stability, you can put energy here – but you’re thinking may not be as clear as possible, so look closely when it comes to budgeting. Save the financial risks for later. Now’s the time to take emotional risks and to move forward even though you’re afraid.

Here’s something that could help: What have you learned from past partnerships, relationships, close friendships, relationships with mom and dad, etc., that could help you now? What you’re stepping into this week doesn’t feel exactly easy, but if you draw from the knowledge and wisdom from past long-term relationships – whether they were hard and ugly lessons or easy and beautiful ones – it will help you step into this tender territory.

Were mom and dad emotionally distant? Was your ex never wanting to “commit” while you were ready to jump into the relationship with passionate commitment? Are you now seeing the wisdom in your ex-partners’ ways, or are you seeing how you definitely won’t ever act that way? Whatever lessons you learned, they can help you pursue what YOU want right now, as you start this “shiny new thing” in a practical, surprising, long-lasting and passionately juicy way.

For some reason, when I say Virgo in my head, I like to say “Virgalicious.” There’s a purity about Virgos that softly purrs like a loving kitty-cat. Like the engine of perfectly functioning, well-lubricated machine, you hum and vibrate in such a pleasing way, while you’re busily tending to the things that need to get done. These are the things that no one else wants to figure out how to do. And this week, I think people are going to take notice of your beautiful, charming and helping nature along with the beauty of who you are as an individual.

Try a new look. Try on a new hairstyle. You’re more alluring than ever right now appearance-wise, but this attractive charisma is deeper than your skin. You’ll be able to feel it in your emotions, in your subconscious, in your fingers and in your toes. In some of the other horoscopes this week, I talked about people feeling juicy. For you, you’re going to have a boost of self-confidence, and a charismatic sparkle.

You may also feel a little bit of lubricant being added to the still, quiet voice found deep in your chest. What you want is especially attractive to you right now. Take some time to listen to this voice. You’ve got all the hutzpah you need to put your most profound yearnings into action. Think about what you want, without analyzing the heck out of it, and take the plunge to bring your dreamy thoughts and visions into physical and practical reality!

One of the reasons you’re so beautiful and charismatic right now, Virgo, is that you’ll be able to assert your own agenda in a smoothly elegant and diplomatic fashion. Remember how charismatic you are this week as you act on your inspired and dreamy yearnings without letting any “overthinking” get in the way.

When you relax the need for it to be perfectly considered, perfectly built, or perfectly planned – and just go for it – you’ll be surprised by the miracles you perform. Be yourself, honor your needs, and move forward with your own agenda in a way that is in harmonious balance with the desires of others.

Libra, you’re a charming and beautiful jewel, and right now you’re shining very brightly. You do so much to honor the needs of others. You ask us what we want, and that often becomes what you want. As a natural born “pleaser,” we can’t get enough of you, and we want to be next to you at all the time. But when do you ever stand up and ask for what you want, and what you need?

We all have a part of us that says, “Enough, I know what I want, and I know what I need, and that’s what I’m going to do.” Libra, you can benefit from solidifying and strengthening the assertion of your agenda in this regard – even if it ruffles people’s feathers. And this is the perfect time to do it, as the Sun crosses into the sign of Libra this week.

It’s a good time for you to shine, big and bright as the individual that you are. What are your needs, Libra? What do you need from us, your community of friends and peers? Especially right now, the astrological omens say that we’re here for you. Normally, it’s seductively attractive for you to please all of us – but right now, we want nothing more than to meet your needs in the same way you do for us. We just need you to tell us what your needs are so we can fulfill them.

Let me ask you something else: Have you been in hiding the last month, in a way? Like you’ve retreated into the quiet of privacy. Normally, you’re social and ready to get out there and connect with people, but I think the last month may have seen you a little more withdrawn, a little less of a social butterfly, and taking a timeout. You might not have known why you were this way, but BOOM! This week you’re back and ready for action. And now that you’re back, we want you to be happy. We want to make sure you’re nurtured and emotionally cared for, so please let us know what you discovered about your personal needs during your timeout.

Do you have a special friend, or do you have a group of special friends? Tell them what your needs are. Tell them how you want to be cared for, and tell them how you want to be treated. It may not feel natural or easy for you to say, “I want to do this. I want to have that. Or, I need you to do this for me…” but I’d love for you to try that out. This week is all about YOU!

Here’s a tip: When you assert your “selfish” agenda, it may hurt people a little bit. You may be sensitive to this, but I want you to keep in mind that what’s actually happening for these people is a “healing” moment. You are breaking the cycle of co-dependency. As you step forward with your independent individuality, you’re helping others find their own way toward independence and self-sufficiency too. Ultimately, your community wants and needs you to feel good right now — and they will do everything they can to make you feel nurtured and good.

As the sign most capable of feeling how things really are, Scorpio, you have been feeling critical of the collective, herd-mentality of “the people” lately. Have you wanted to impulsively voice your critical opinions and feelings to the communities you’re a part of?

It looks like things could be going well in your career/reputation/ambition space — at the very least, you’re experiencing change. What’s going on in the space of you achieving your higher aspirations in the world right now? Has the hard work you’ve put in — I hope — started paying off in the form of lasting, unexpected change – fueled by creative flashes and gut-level instincts? Could these changes benefit you financially, career-wise or in the “love” department in the long run? I am going to take the high road here and say, yes!

Whatever changes are happening for you right now, you can handle them well. But the rest of us may be in the thick of it, worried and scared about imaginary threats of violence that could affect the global Earth community. This is making us act like ridiculous, scared little kids, who are frightened by the suffering that is simply a part of being alive. Maybe some of it is being directed at you. We probably look like babies terrified by imaginary boogie men who may or may not be a threat. The problem is, our reactions are making it worse, and maybe you can see how it’s festering in an ugly way. You know that – as terrified as the community is – we ourselves, and our savage, animalistic, group-think is the real beast to be worried about.

In this context, I’m asking you to penetrate into the depths of what you feel, and to go so deep inside our global issues that you find the pinpoint of infinite goodness at its core. Maybe you call it the infinite goodness of God, unconditional love, the divine, the virtuousness at the heart of humanity. Whatever you call it, this is what will redeem us – and right now, I think you can access it.

Is this point of holy light connected to the mystical ideals of love, creativity, joy and play that you experienced as a child, or in your distant past? Can you hold this frequency of goodness for us Scorpio? As you observe, investigate, penetrate and dive deep into what this is really all about, can you feel the good and miraculous in it all?

I wonder if you’ve been more serious than normal for the last couple of years, Sagittarius. A little more conservative, less risk-taking. And, maybe if you did take a risk, it was a cautious step forward, rather than your usual way of leaping off into the great unknown based on your instincts alone. This might not be normal for you, whose known for jumping off the cliff and cavalierly growing your wings, just in the nick of time, like magic.

Perhaps this week, you’re feeling the fruits of your cautious labors in a surprising way. Sagittarius, do you feel emotionally more harmonious in terms of your big-picture life philosophy? You know, the optimistic, expansive life philosophy that you want everyone to know about. How does that philosophy feel to you right now? I think you’re feeling surprisingly good about it.

Perhaps you see how the last couple years of caution have offered you a solid foundation for a changing emotional landscape. Was it an emotional upheaval, a revolution of sorts? A new philosophy that feels so good and was achieved in a solid, lasting and practical way?

How does this new philosophy bring more balance, harmony and prosperity not only to you, but also to your community as a whole? Can your community of peers, friends, and the different groups you belong to – or the entire planet as a whole – benefit from this philosophy somehow? Over the next few weeks, think about how you can lay a lasting structure that puts your new, subconsciously rebellious and beautifully practical philosophy to work. And put it to work in the space of your career and what you’re known for in the world.

Here’s a trick: Look back into your past and consider the weird and quirky ways you used to communicate ideas, thoughts and information. Did you have some strange, unique or futuristic way of communicating in the past? Or, did you learn something from your siblings as a child that can help you with what you’re trying to do now? As you’re putting work, energy and effort into your career over the coming weeks, consider the lessons you learned from your siblings, from your local neighborhoods and from the way you communicated in the past.

Last month, you were going deep into some introspection, into the darker shadowy recesses, Capricorn. This month, you’re opening up – tapping into the big picture of things – and perhaps you’re assertively updating your philosophies. These philosophies are shining bright and your quick-thinking mind and personality are impulsively acting upon them.

Here’s another way of looking at this dynamic. Imagine someone hooked up a defibrillator device to your life philosophy. If you’ve felt like that area has flat-lined, or if you’ve felt like you want to embark on a new philosophical exploration – or a new area of study in the fields of higher education, you are about to get ZAPPED into action.

You will have more energy than ever to express your philosophical understanding of the world. And when you do, be sure to express your mystical ideals in a way that isn’t overly aggressive and critical. Perhaps avoid the word “should” when it comes to expressing yourself in this area. Rather, use your classy demeanor to convey the information that will be practically useful to those who are open to hearing it. Think about your reputation, how you want to be seen by the world, and convey your life philosophy accordingly.

What’s the result of this philosophical jumpstart into action this week? I suspect you’ll feel the positive results in your secret, intimate places. These areas may feel less dark and creepy, and more harmonious, sweet, nurturing and beautiful. I hope you’ll feel surprisingly good about your “shadow” – your deep subconscious, and your private spaces.

Take an inventory of the skeletons in your closet and forgive what they represent and – whether they’re still there or not – maybe they won’t feel so scary anymore. This change, quick and unexpected, will be lasting and enduring. I suspect it will also serve a practical purpose. What transformative purpose will come from cleaning up your shadow, Capricorn? Maybe you know, or maybe it will become clear to you soon.

Every 12 years, Jupiter the giver of luck, abundance, expansion, freedom, joy, indulgence and prosperity – he’s the Santa Claus version of a planet – passes over your house of career, fame and reputation, Aquarius. What happened in this area of your life 12 years ago? Because a similar vibration is coming to you again. You may already be feeling the inklings of this dynamic, which will benefit you for the next year to come.

In 2005/2006, did you experience abundance and expansion in your career – a no-limits ability to achieve your goals? Did you gain the reputation for being a gregarious, jovial, over-indulgent Santa Claus who drank too much eggnog, and gave too many presents and candy to the kids?

Perhaps your upcoming career expansion relates to something you’ve been working on in secret in the past weeks. Perhaps only several confidants know what you’ve been up to. I think these cloak and dagger activities will fuel the advancements and expansion you’ll be experiencing in your career and reputation in the year ahead.

The question is, who have you told about your plans? Isn’t there someone who should become a confidant? Seek this person’s help when you need it. Forming harmonious partnerships like this in confidence might help you tap into other people’s resources – knowledge, money, connections, skills, supplies, etc. – to achieve your goals.

Especially this week, consider who you want for your partner(s) in crime to help you achieve your covert plans, Aquarius. And as for publicly revealing your cloak-and-dagger agenda, you’ll know when it’s time. For now, keep thinking about your plans and acting upon them in secret. I hope that your secret efforts will pay great dividends in the realm of expanding your career pursuits (and your reputation) with joy, optimism and prosperity in the months to come.

For the last six years, have you been going through a kind of “self-healing?” This deep healing has allowed you to explore your “soul wounds” connected to the way you sacrifice yourself for others. It may have also related to the healing of your body in some way through better diet and alternative health choices.

All of this relates to Chiron, the “wounded healer,” which has been traveling through Pisces and your sense of “self,” “identity” and your body for the last six years. Chiron asks you to become aware of your physical wounds and the wounds related to your identity, asking you to take practical steps to heal. The process has probably felt awkward, sensitive, vulnerable and revealing. Ultimately, you’ve been learning to honor your Self, your personal boundaries, and your body’s needs, while these wounds heal.

In April 2018, Chiron will move out of your sign. This means you have about six more months to continue the healing of your body and “Self.” You may want to use this time to consider all the incredible realizations, discoveries and advancements you’ve made in these years. Pat yourself on the back for a job well-done. You’ve taken great strides to know and honor your Self in this regard.

With this heads-up in mind, Pisces, let’s move on to what’s relevant for the month – because I think it has a lot to do with your long-term partnerships, friendships, etc. For quite a few years now, you’re more Piscean than ever. You’re dreamy, you’re in your own mystical fantasy world, you’re more spiritual, and you’re deeply compassionate – beaming unconditional love in all directions. You’ve been extra emotionally sensitive as well. As such, if you’ve recently experienced some confusion in communication over the last few weeks – and some aggressively critical challenges directed at you – it may have activated those old wounds from the past.

Maybe people are being more headstrong and direct and critical of you than you’re accustomed to. Is anything like this happening with your long-term romantic partners, friends, business partners or family members with whom you have a long-lasting relationship? Are these people being critical of you and voicing their criticisms without a filter in an aggressive way? Or maybe you’re being that way with them?

Here’s how to find your peace: This week, tap into the sense of peace and harmony that comes from your day-to-day routines and rituals. What do you do every day to feel harmonious and emotionally at ease? How do your simple daily routines and work give you peace of mind? Consider the things you do when you wake up in the morning, the things you do to take care of your health and dietary habits, and how do these tasks help you feel safe, easy, peaceful, quiet in mind, cared for, nurtured and secure?
