12/29 - Horoscopes from Beliefnet

As if to ring in the new week, the Moon enters fiery Aries--the first sign of the zodiac--and once again starts the cycle anew. The Aries Moon symbolizes our need to initiate action based upon feelings. We feel more impulsive than usual. For some of us thats a good thing as it encourages us to express our feelings. For others its not as easy, for action without forethought can get us into trouble. Additionally, an irritating aspect between sweet Venus and restrictive Saturn makes it difficult to find the right balance between work and play.

ARIES (March 20–April 19):

Your internal Department of Home and Heartland Security has officially raised your personal security level to red alert for the next few days. Things could be changing fast as you feel even more impulsive than usual. This could be a major catalyst as it stirs up feelings that have caked onto the edges of your subconscious mind like burning soup cakes to the bottom of a cooking pot. What comes up may not be entirely pleasant, but it's better for it to get scraped up now rather than later.

TAURUS (April 20–May 20):

Things that you don't say can now have a way of coming back at you through situations in your life. It's seems almost impossible that you are really at cause for the problems that could come to light, but astrologically, thats the way it works. If someone gets angry at you, don't try to change the other person. Even if they are out of line, look inside yourself for the real answer.

GEMINI (May 21–June 20):

After a couple of quieter days, the energy now picks back up. You have things to do, place to go and people to see. But it can be tense, for others are laying claims on your calendar. You won't be able to satisfy their needs without sacrificing some of your own. And, if this makes you angry, you better figure out a way to express it before it comes back at you and nips you from behind.

CANCER (June 21–July 22):

One of your ongoing existential dilemmas is back at your doorstep and needing some attention. You have to juggle the responsibility you have toward others with the desires to fulfill your own needs. This isn't an easy one for you and it can sometimes make you give up on both. Out of exasperation you might just decide to go home, lock your door and hide. Of course, this isn't what you want to do. You want to feel close to your family and those you love. Don't give in to the feeling of being overwhelmed. Find courage. Dont quit on yourself now.

LEO (July 23–August 22):

You can get a bit punchy today as you feel the flush of energy and the rush of your own adrenal glands pumping the excitement back into your life. But you are still holding onto an anchor. The good news is that this can ground you and prevent you from going too far off the beaten path. The bad news is that this can trick you into thinking you cannot take the risk that is now in front of you. It's like you are in the Funhouse of Mirrors and cannot clearly see which way to go.

VIRGO (August 23–September 22):

The frustration level continues to build and if you were the aggressive type, youd be ready to pounce on someone. This, however, is not a viable solution. Hostile action or overt aggression will not solve anything; it will only make matters worse. You are feeling your oats and need a way to express yourself physically. In love, this can be a wonderful catalyst for physical intimacy. Without such an outlet, however, exercise, hard work or a good debate can blow off some of this pent-up energy.

LIBRA (September 23–October 22):

You are moving toward your own Cinderella fantasy, where you can make it okay within your mind--even if the outer situation isn't as pretty a picture. But until the pumpkin becomes a limousine, you still have some unexpressed resentment to contend with. If youv'e been letting your needs go unnoticed, you might just have to stand up for yourself now. Don't worry about offending someone else. This is not a quick fix, for even if you make a stand now, the results can come to fruition slowly throughout the next year.

SCORPIO (October 23–November 22):

Whatever feelings you've been holding back can now come up to the surface. It's like lava that has been held beneath the simmering volcano, locked in by the weight of immovable rocks. But now the earth begins to shift as the pressure creates cracks in the structures and a path to the surface. This isn't a full eruption. Rather, it's an expression of deep feelings that need to be taken into consideration. Don't try to plan what you will do or what you want to say. Just be ready to go with the flow--the lava flow, that is.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22–December 21):

Although people around you may be concerned about what's going on, you are more concerned with what's going on for you. You've been worrying about others long enough. You've been taking care of business long enough. Even though it's the start of a new work week--and a holiday week for many--your seriousness about work is being tempered by your desire to play. Enjoy yourself, but try not to lay your attitude onto those that dont want to play with you.

CAPRICORN (December 22–January 19):

It's like youve spent a long time training your horses to plow the fields. Now it's time for them to go to work, along with your expert guidance. But you want to get on one of your work horses and just go out riding for the heck of it. It's certainly confusing to your animal. And you don't even know where your own impulsive desires are coming from. The bottom line is that you are feeling hot to trot, yet you are being held back by the commitments you've already made. This conflict may get more intense for the next few days. Don't break loose. Work within the constraints that you feel.

AQUARIUS (January 20–February 18):

Even if you intend to do what you promised, your impulses are running so high now that you might just run out on your responsibilities. This doesn't mean you won't do what you are supposed to do. It just means that you could take a detour or two along the way--and that these detours may be more about your own needs than about the needs of those around you. This isn't a time of great clarity for you, so be careful about making irrational decisions that can have difficult consequences.

PISCES (February 19–March 19):

You could become adamant about something that is so important to you that it overtakes everything else in your life. This may not be long lasting, but it could put some strain on your current situation. Your priorities may not be the same as what is expected of you. But you are on the leading edge of great shifts in your life. In fact, youll be surprising others around you with unexpected actions for the next several years. Don't treat this casually, but tell them to get used to the new you.
