Sagittarius Horoscope for week of 08/18/2008 through 08/24/2008

Mon, 18 Aug 2008 2:38:01 CDT

What someone's saying on Monday should really resonate. Make time to talk more about it, and see where the conversation takes you. Around Tuesday or Wednesday, you should be going some fun places -- you'll love a game, getting outside or taking a mini-adventure now. At the end of the workweek, though, give someone else a hand at work or in your free time (or -- bonus points -- both). The weekend's busy, but you'll be happiest in the moments you can find quiet and get more in-depth, whether with a book, a certain someone or just staring at the stars.

Scorpio Horoscope for week of 08/18/2008 through 08/24/2008

Mon, 18 Aug 2008 2:38:01 CDT

The universe loves to see you in action as the week gets going! Monday may seem like an odd day for romance, but the stars favor an overture you make now. Over the next couple of days, find time to get outside and get moving -- a long run or a twilight stroll, solo or with a friend or certain someone. But note that you're extra competitive now and at the end of the workweek; if you're playing sports or trying to score at work, don't make it personal. And whatever you're doing this weekend, low-key is better than high-risk.

Aries Horoscope for week of 08/18/2008 through 08/24/2008

Mon, 18 Aug 2008 2:38:01 CDT

Yikes! Watch your step on Monday. Starting something new or committing to anything uncertain just isn't favored by the stars now. But you can definitely get back in the swing of things over the next couple of days. Go with what (or is that who?) sparks your enthusiasm now; you've got a winning way about you. But around Thursday and Friday, it's all about things that'll last. Don't get too heated about what could be a flash in the pan, and if you say it, be sure you mean it. You can get back into the realm of the hypothetical (and the flirtatious!) on Saturday evening and Sunday.

Aquarius Horoscope for week of 08/18/2008 through 08/24/2008

Mon, 18 Aug 2008 2:38:01 CDT

What do you want -- and what would you like to see the last of -- on Monday? Get clear, and you can get it done and move on. When it comes to what (or who) you believe in, you're willing to go the extra mile, especially over the next couple of days. Moreover, when you're really motivated, you've got an energy that's electric. Light things up now! At the end of the workweek, though, listen up, especially to someone more experienced than you. They can save you a lesson learned. And this weekend will be just plain hot! You've got it going on -- what're you gonna do with it?

Pisces Horoscope for week of 08/18/2008 through 08/24/2008

Mon, 18 Aug 2008 2:38:01 CDT

Everybody's loving you on Monday if the stars have their say! Share your thoughts and your appreciation, and make their day. Then there's something hidden over the next couple of days, and you're just the one to figure it out. Watch for something that doesn't add up. One plus one is a very sweet equation around Thursday, Friday and Saturday, when summer lovin' awaits. Make a move instead of waiting! You don't have to get too specific about it. But on Sunday, keep your moves minimal. Relaxing's better than racing around.

Libra Horoscope for week of 08/18/2008 through 08/24/2008

Mon, 18 Aug 2008 2:38:01 CDT

A little laughter helps a lot on Monday. Be light of heart and don't take life -- or work -- too seriously. But do (seriously) watch it when it comes to finances over the next couple of days, especially if someone else is involved. What seems like a simple arrangement may require a lot more negotiation. But meetings of the minds of all kinds are a lot easier starting Thursday, and the stars are emphasizing the romantic now! In any type of relationship, your thoughtfulness, interest in listening and way with sharing make things sweet indeed, all through the weekend.

Capricorn Horoscope for week of 08/18/2008 through 08/24/2008

Mon, 18 Aug 2008 2:38:01 CDT

Go with the flow a bit on Monday! Some free-form thinking, doing something spontaneous and reaching out will get you results that planning, testing and hunkering down can't. You can get back to your regularly scheduled programming over the next couple of days, when practicality pays and concentration conquers. But plan to really enjoy your time off, and schedule some fun on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Whether it's an elaborate event or simple good times, take a timely break from duty now. On Sunday, it's up to you to figure out what someone's really saying.

Virgo Horoscope for week of 08/18/2008 through 08/24/2008

Mon, 18 Aug 2008 2:38:01 CDT

If you're looking to dive in and get stuff done, Monday's not too likely to cooperate. Patience! Hard work and your signature attention to detail have much more effect over the next couple of days -- both at work, and in the realm of relationships. When it comes to the interpersonal stuff, be willing to meet 'em halfway. Then a little change gives life a lot more oomph around Thursday, Friday or Saturday. Get off your beaten path, and try or taste or get a view of something new. And the stars are leaving the weekend up to you. Concentrate on making it good and it will be!

Gemini Horoscope for week of 08/18/2008 through 08/24/2008

Mon, 18 Aug 2008 2:38:01 CDT

You might be looking at life through an ambient haze on Monday, and it's not necessarily a rose-colored one. Don't get blue about a difficulty or misunderstanding, though; the next couple of days offer a new point of view and many opportunities for improvement. Use those awesome communication skills! Thursday and Friday are perfect for taking care of business -- get work and errands squared away so you can take advantage of some much more social energy this weekend. You'll love a party, and the outdoors beckons -- why not combine the two?

Taurus Horoscope for week of 08/18/2008 through 08/24/2008

Mon, 18 Aug 2008 2:38:01 CDT

Read for comprehension on Monday, whether it's a book, an email or body language. You'll be surprised by the level of understanding you can reach with just a little extra effort. Then timing's truly everything over the next couple of days. If you're not feeling it, hold off if at all possible; impulsive isn't the way to be now. Plan your nights out -- or days off -- for Thursday and Friday, the hot days to be you this week. You're ready for fun if the stars have their say, and the world will welcome you with open arms! Look out for legal or financial issues this weekend, though.

Leo Horoscope for week of 08/18/2008 through 08/24/2008

Mon, 18 Aug 2008 2:38:01 CDT

Feelings and finances may be linked in a way that's not very comfortable on Monday. Don't let money talk too loud. Then the more information you can gather over the next couple of days, the more interesting life gets. A complex issue? No problem -- you'll even enjoy taking it apart and putting it back together. Follow-through is key around Thursday and Friday, though, as is admitting when you don't know. And you're both smart and fun when the weekend comes, with friends old and new loving your company and conversation. There could be something super in the more-than-friends department, too!

Cancer Horoscope for week of 08/18/2008 through 08/24/2008

Mon, 18 Aug 2008 2:38:01 CDT

An unknown entity is absolutely worth a chance on Monday. Don't be afraid -- do a little investigating! Then over the next couple of days, your personal past is newly relevant. This doesn't mean you should dwell on it, but if a certain situation reminds you of something, stop and think. What happened last time around? And starting Thursday, you're ready to get outside, get out of your shell and have some fun! When the weekend rolls around, you might even be ready for a little walk on the wild side. Why not? Enjoy the heat!

Full Moon, August 16, 2008

Sun, 10 Aug 2008 14:04:32 CDT

The moon is full this August in Aquarius, the 11th sign of the tropical zodiac. Though it will not be visible in North America, this full moon is also a partial lunar eclipse. In astrological metaphor, Aquarius brings us the experience of contradiction. While it is an air sign, it's symbol is the water bearer, who is usually depicted pouring out the water rather than keeping it contained. In fact, Aquarius energy does not like to be contained or controlled, and so it the sign most comfortable with rebellion and revolution. In keeping with its contradictory nature, Aquarius is the sign of community and grass roots organizing, but is also the sign of individualism.

Reflections on the United Astrology Conference - UAC 2008

Wed, 6 Aug 2008 0:38:38 CDT

The first new moon of spring is in Aries, the Ram. Aries is also the first sign of the tropical Zodiac, and marks the beginning of the seasonal year in the northern hemisphere. In the circle of the Zodiac, Aries is the beginning of the solar year, and our desire to act.

Solar Eclipse in Leo

Sat, 2 Aug 2008 1:00:48 CDT

The United Astrology Conference (a.k.a. UAC) took place in May in Denver, Colorado, and I thought that it would be a good idea to detail some of the highlights of the conference from my perspective. The conference was held right in the heart of Denver, on the 16th street mall at what used to be the [...]

A solar eclipse occurred today in the tropical sign of Leo. Eclipses were traditionally seen as generally negative celestial omens since the luminaries which provide light and heat to the world are obscured during these times. For example, with the solar eclipse today the light of the Sun was completely blocked out and there [...]

New Moon, August 1, 2008

Sun, 27 Jul 2008 15:42:51 CDT

The moon is new half-way between the summer solstice and the fall equinox this August 1 in Leo, the Lion. When the new moon lines up exactly on the ecliptic, the plane of the solar system on which the planets orbit the sun, a solar eclipse occurs. This particular eclipse is a so-called midnight sun eclipse, because it will be visible in northern regions experiencing midnight sun such as northernmost Canada, Siberia, Mongolia, and parts of China. In astrological metaphor, the sun is most at home in Leo, the sign of playfulness, fun, romance, performance and the child, and is considered its companion light. So when the light of the sun is temporarily darkened by an eclipse to its Leo energy, we look for the opposite of whatever is typically joyful to us in these Leo experiences. The reversal of the status quo that eclipses signify in the language of astrology means that the new moon beginning starts, paradoxically, with an ending.

I’ve been getting the vibe over the past few months that CNN isn’t very keen on astrology. It has almost become a regular occurrence at this point that every few months there will be some sort of snarky headline about astrology on the front page of their website. I guess that I’m not [...]

Fate, Free Will and Determinism in Astrology

Mon, 3 Mar 2008 1:12:10 CST

I’ve been of the opinion for a while now that astrology is fundamentally deterministic, and that the majority of astrologers approach the subject with a more or less deterministic mindset, whether they consciously acknowledge it or not. In fact, the vast majority of astrologers seldom even realize just how deterministic their unspoken assumptions about astrology [...]
