Horoscopes, monthly horoscopes, predictions and astrology.

Wishing everyone a Happy Halloween and Happy Samhain! 

LIBRA: The symbol of the Scales of Justice or the sun on the horizon, which is the balance between day and night. This sign rules the kidneys and lower back.  

Keywords are: balance, romance, negotiation, compromise, companionship and harmony. Artistic, indecisiveness, diplomacy, polished, sociable, charming, outgoing, peaceable and a true procrastinator. This sign finds it very difficult to make quick decisions and constantly listens to others’ opinions about what they should do. To them, not making a decision is a decision. These people are also one of the suckers of the zodiac because they are too giving, caring, loving, kind, generous and honest and do so much for others. They rarely get anything back in return and it takes them very long in life to realize that others have been using them; then they may form some boundaries and limitations.

ARIES - March 20 – April 19

Home life is busy with projects and responsibilities.  One day at a time.  So many things seem to be changing in your life and with these changes come new beginnings.  Do not be afraid to let your life proceed in a new direction.  All changes lead to new paths and better opportunities.  Love life may be more exciting; love is rekindled or you may find a new love that suits your moods and intellectual level better than ever before.  Home life is very important now so you may be thinking of moving, beautifying your home or finishing up projects that have been left on the back burner for too long.  Keep pushing yourself in the right direction.

TAURUS - April 20 – May 20

Love life and children seem to be the most important issues in your life this month.  Many personal changes come to you. You may be “growing up” in some way as you seem to be taking on new responsibilities, ones that you handle with ease and great skill.  There is no surprise from others that you can handle whatever you put your mind to and you do it so well.  You may be more serious than usual, but you are handling all obligations well. Children are very important now so do what you feel is necessary to help them along with their education, after school activities and social lives.  Your sincere ingenuity is amazing and many are amazed that you come through all situations with flying colors.  

GEMINI - May 21 – June 20

Partnerships are emotional to say the least.  To say the most, your love life may not be the one you had wished.  It seems to have outlived its usefulness.  Many things will be blown out of proportion and it’s up to you to set things straight.  The truth goes a long way in paving a peaceful path towards a happy future. Make sure you know what or who you want in your future so you can plan your life accordingly.  If you settle for second best, you will be really upset with yourself in the future.  Maybe it’s time to make yourself first so that you will feel a sense of accomplishment and fulfillment.  

CANCER - June 21 – July 22

Relationships and finances are on your mind this month.  There seems to be changes coming into your life, but you are not sure how to handle them.  You want positive change but may not be ready for all the good things which are coming your way.  A good way to look at it is just to go with the flow and all good things will come to you. You always help others and may not find it easy to accept help from others but this is a time to collect your karma chips for all of the good deeds you have done for others.  Let others help you. 

LEO - July 23 – August 22

Finances play a huge role in your family and your life this month.  Many decisions regarding financial security have to be made and you are ready to make them.  You want to get from underneath money issues and will try to start saving for things you really need instead of charging purchases.  You may wish to go to school, get additional training or work towards other certifications or degrees for the good of your career future.  Travel is always on your mind, but other things must come first.  Pay attention to your family’s needs; they want your time and energy in their lives.  They would rather have a few more hours a day of having you with them than having you work extra long hours for the money.  Spend time with your family on weekend outings while the weather is still good enough to venture out into the open spaces. 

VIRGO - August 23 – September 22

Virgos are thinking of travel and education, but not doing a lot about them at this time. You are extremely sensitive and emotional although you may try to hide it from those you love. Don’t take everything so personally and talk things over with those you love so that there are no major miscommunications or disagreements. Health continues to be good and romantic relationships may take a turn in an unexpected direction. You want to get into different philosophies or religion in life now and are taking classes and reading more than usual.  Romance gets better and better each day and you find your niche in creative and home projects and are very happy about your results in general.  

LIBRA - September 23 – October 22

There is much energy around you to use in your career and life in general.  Use it wisely.  It seems as if you will make many decisions and do many things that you have been procrastinating on in the recent past.  You are getting stronger and more confident about many things – good for you.  You are ready to start a new beginning in life and will do whatever is necessary to make it the best decision you could possibly make.  Not everyone is as kind hearted as you and you may be hurt if you trust others based upon your own beliefs. Get things in writing to protect yourself and there should be no verbal agreements. Your compromises will help solidify your future into one that you will be proud of.  Emotions are balanced and you seem to be making very good decisions about your future. 

SCORPIO - October 23 – November 21

Friends and family may need extra attention now although you have had it with everyone needing you all of the time.  When is it your turn to have someone help you?  (Not that you would ever admit to that!)   Many thoughts are coming into your head now.  You want to be more spiritual or learn more about metaphysics or philosophies.  Now is a time for self cultivation and self study so treasure each free moment you have and set up the books you want to read ahead of time so that you can figure out how much time you may need daily to get your reading goal finished.  Also, e-books, CDs and DVDs should be caught up with as well. 

SAGITTARIUS - November 22 – December 21

So much is going on in your life that you don’t have a minute to spare, but you keep on taking on more and more responsibilities and obligations that you barely have time to do anything for yourself.  Your own projects are never getting done and it is taking a toll on your mental health and you are exhausted!  Stop taking on more tasks for others when they rarely help you with anything.  Once you feel as if things are going in a more organized and controlled way, you will feel great.  Good luck is also coming to help you with what you need so be very clear about your desires from the universe. 

CAPRICORN - December 22 – January 19

You are handling too much in your life and are becoming overwhelmed.  Your personality is changing for the better and you are allowing others to get close to you  Caps are becoming more tolerant and are open to different perspectives now – how refreshing!  You are becoming much more mature on many levels.  It seems as if you want your life to change in many ways and you are willing to do whatever needs to be done to get to the next level or the next project.  You are still working as hard as ever to accomplish all of your tasks at work and home.  If sudden, unexpected changes happen, kind of go with the flow so that you can move to your new path quicker. 

AQUARIUS - January 20 – February 17

Finances and family are the keys to your happiness this month. If you budget and use your money wisely, everything that you need will be available for you. You are also making financial plans for the future.  How can you afford this or that or how can you save more, etc. Family is only trying to help with suggestions and opinions, so hear them out and give them the benefit of the doubt.  Try new things with a creative flair. If work related issues are causing you stress and making you feel unappreciated, then it may be time to look into other alternatives.  You need a supportive environment at work and home, so if you are not getting it, do whatever you need to do to have a more stress free life.  Your health is important – so protect it. If you need an annual physical, make sure you get it while you are thinking of it.

PISCES – February 18 – March 19

Family is a wonderful thing even though you may not agree with them from time to time, but they are always there for you and you should be there for them as well. Even if unusual circumstances surround family issues, you have to love them; they mean well. Try not to be too sensitive or emotional now because you have so much to look forward to.  Many things are behind the scenes especially with family, so don’t push the issue if someone does not want to tell you the whole truth.  This is not the time to know whatever it is anyway.  Be open for change and push for your ideals and dreams as well.  You do not have to give in to everyone all of the time; make your opinion known and let friends and family know which compromises you are willing to make.
