November 2009 Pisces Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
 

November

 

Overview.

Until the 22, the Sun illuminates your solar ninth house. This transit that started in the last week of October finds you at your most adventurous and philosophical. Routine tends to bother you now, as you instinctively are drawn towards anything that brings you up and out of the mundane. You feel more fulfilled when you expand your horizons during this cycle. This can be a restless time, and it could also be a little self-indulgent. As long as you don't fall into the trap of blind optimism, it's a very pleasant time when you have the guts to do something different and enjoy yourself. You are also in the position to gain more of an overall perspective on your life and on your goals.

From the 22, the Sun illuminates your career and reputation sector. More than any other time of the year, your focus is drawn to your "place" or standing in the outer world, and your reputation. This is the time when you are more interested in, and focused on, accomplishing something important. Your competency is something that you are especially sensitive to during this cycle. You want to shine. Your vision is practical right now, and you want to see tangible results for your efforts. More contact with authority figures is likely during this period. Recognition is likely to come your way whether you ask for it or not, and the responsibility that comes right along with it! Do what you feel is right, keeping in mind that you are at your most visible during this period in the year.

You have a pleasant feeling that matters are moving forward in your life this month, dear Pisces. Pressures are easing, your confidence is building, and the important people in your life are supportive. Work is especially dynamic, busy, and possibly demanding of your time and energy. It's also especially profitable! In the last week of the month, professional responsibilities are in focus, and you're expressing yourself in a highly competent manner. Your ambitions are building, and attention to practical matters pays off. It's a good time to think in big terms, and seize career opportunities as they arise.

Venus continues her journey through your intimacy sector until the 8. Intimate connections can be especially rich and meaningful during this cycle. Your magnetism revolves around mysterious fascination rather than outgoing charm. Intensity appeals in your relationships. This can also be a time in which you discover untapped resources or talents, as you are discovering the beauty in your own depths. It’s a good time to work out money problems or other issues of sharing with a partner. You may get the backing you need now--financial or emotional.

Venus journeys through your adventure sector from the 8. During this period, you are more self-expressive and adventurous with regards to expressing your affections. A love interest who attracts you during this cycle may be somebody who you previously wouldn't consider attractive, or someone whose cultural background is very different than yours. Your perceptions of beauty, in general, are broadened and widened now, and this can extend to things that attract you, including objects and ideas. You have a taste for the exotic and the spirit to match.

Until the 16, Mercury moves through your solar ninth house. Transits of Mercury point to current areas of interests and where our thoughts are for the time being. You take more interest in the bigger picture rather than details during this period. Educational or philosophical subjects could interest now. Decisions made now are more inclined to take into consideration morals and ethics--not only practical concerns. From the 16, Mercury moves through your solar tenth house, turning your thoughts to practical matters, goals, and professional matters. For the most part, you are applying your mental and communicative abilities to professional or more worldly ambitions. You might be seeking information and knowledge in order to enhance your social or career prospects, for example, or you might be thinking a lot about your career goals. This is a good time for coming up with strategies in your professional life, for career planning, or simply thinking in more concrete, ambitious, and practical terms. It can also be a strong time for speaking about your goals or with a person who can help you work towards and achieve your goals. Negative expression of this placement can be worrying unnecessarily about your reputation or your responsibilities, or excessive multi-tasking that takes you away from what is truly important.

Mars continues to animate and energize your solar sixth house, bringing increased energy, initiative, and enterprise to your work and health programs. You are especially energetic when it comes to getting things done. You tend to want to pioneer or lead on the job front during this cycle, and it's best to find ways to do so. Otherwise, you might become frustrated and impatient easily, or get involved with tensions between yourself and co-workers or employees. Try not to pay attention to co-workers' slow methods now--that will only serve to frustrate you. Apply your increased energy to working hard and really making a dent in the jobs you have to do.

 

Highlights:

October 31-November 1 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

November 2 A Full Moon occurs today in Taurus in your solar third house. The last two weeks have found you somewhat restless and in need of more from life than the mundane. Now the mundane is catching up with you. Errands need to be run, people are talking your ear off, you need to do some paperwork and answer calls. An important document could arrive, or a sudden need to run an important errand or to take a short trip could be part of the picture. You are pushed to find a balance now. Do what needs to be done so that you can free yourself up for more adventurous and fulfilling activities.

November 6-7 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

November 10-11 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

November 16 A New Moon in Scorpio in your solar ninth house affects you until the next New Moon on December 16th. The ninth house rules our spirit to grow, explore, and expand beyond the "regular" experiences in our lives. The New Moon here may bring some restlessness and dissatisfaction with regular routines. Make an effort to initiate new projects or activities that expand your mind, feed your spirit for adventure, and stretch your imagination. You may feel renewed by a new perspective on your life, something philosophical or spiritual that you read or learn, or an adventure that takes you away from the mundane routines in your life.

November 17-18 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

November 25-26 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

November 27-28 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

October 2009 Pisces Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
 

October

 

Overview.

Until the 23, the Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar eighth house--a transit that began in September. Personal transformations, personal power, and intimate matters fulfill you most during this cycle. There may be a strong focus on other's money, such as the resources of a partner, through inheritance, banking and loans, or taxes. You are more intense in your mood and disposition, and perhaps even secretive, at this time of year. You are more willing to recognize the darker and more challenging aspects of your own personality, and more apt to see these things in others. Emotions tend to run deep right now, and you don't much like losing or feeling powerless. This can be a determined and personally powerful time of year if you apply the energy of this transit constructively.

From the 23, with the Sun spotlighting your solar ninth house, your focus turns outward, away from the more personal concerns that have occupied your thoughts in the last months. More than any other time during the year, you are feeling most adventurous and willing to take a leap of faith. This is a cycle in which you seek a higher meaning to your life, and/or seek out new experiences that take you beyond the here and now, and beyond the mundane details of day-to-day life. Anything that broadens your experiences attracts now. A lack of superficiality finds you straight to the point, interested in the truth of things. It would be wise for you to consider scheduling a vacation, adventure of sorts, or a course that expands your mind. These don't have to happen now, but taking the time to recognize your needs for escaping the daily grind, taking a few risks, and feeding your spirit for self-expression through some form of adventure or higher learning, will help you to feel good about yourself. The only caution with this cycle is that you could lose touch with managing everyday affairs and important details.

This month, money matters, particularly regarding money owed or shared, are big themes for you, dear Pisces. Support from others, from friends, and business loans are in focus and possibly a source of stress this month. Partnership matters improve, and you might even feel as if a weight has lifted from you in this area of life. However, relationships are not without intensity now. The need for new depths of intimacy becomes increasingly clear this month. Career matters begin to move forward after a period of seeming standstill or stagnation.

Venus continues her trek through your partnership sector until the 14. During this cycle, your emotional health depends largely on how meaningful your relationships are, whether these are social or romantic ones, or both. A partner may be enjoying an increase in income or other forms of personal success. Your focus is on giving to a partner. Smoothing out your close personal relationships is what makes you happy during this cycle. You have a greater need than usual for contact and exchange with an intimate partner. If single, you are more willing than normal to enter into a committed relationship. In general, you are adaptable when it comes to your affections right now, and very willing to meet the emotional needs of important others in your life.

Venus journeys through your intimacy sector from the 14. Intimate connections can be especially rich and meaningful during this cycle. Your magnetism revolves around mysterious fascination rather than outgoing charm. Intensity appeals in your relationships. This can also be a time in which you discover untapped resources or talents, as you are discovering the beauty in your own depths. It’s a good time to work out money problems or other issues of sharing with a partner. You may get the backing you need now--financial or emotional.

Until the 10, Mercury continues to enliven your partnership sector. During this time, the desire to bounce ideas off a partner or close friend is very strong. Communication becomes especially important to you. You feel attracted to intelligent people with whom you can communicate well and exchange ideas during this cycle. You know how to relate to others and you do it in a natural and warm manner. You tend to seek chatty and restless friends who stimulate your curiosity and mentality. You may attract a younger person into your life. From the 10-28, Mercury transits your solar eighth house, and you take a keener interest in all that lies below the surface during this period. Mystery and intrigue appeals to you. Your mind may be working like that of a detective, uncovering information and analyzing motives. This is a period of strategizing. Mulling over shared resources and finances, or negotiations involving them, could also figure now. From the 28, Mercury moves through your solar ninth house. Transits of Mercury point to current areas of interests and where our thoughts are for the time being. You take more interest in the bigger picture rather than details during this period. Educational or philosophical subjects could interest now. Decisions made now are more inclined to take into consideration morals and ethics--not only practical concerns.

Mars continues to animate and energize your solar fifth house until the 16. During this cycle, you are likely to exert a lot of your energy and initiative into actively pursuing a rewarding love life, social amusement or hobbies, activities with children, and pleasure in general. You have a likeably competitive, more energetic and pleasingly assertive temperament during this transit. There is a stronger desire to take part in creative endeavors, athletics, risk-taking pursuits, and perhaps some gambling if inclined.

Mars activates your solar sixth house from the 16, bringing increased energy, initiative, and enterprise to your work and health programs. You are especially energetic when it comes to getting things done. You tend to want to pioneer or lead on the job front during this cycle, and it's best to find ways to do so. Otherwise, you might become frustrated and impatient easily, or get involved with tensions between yourself and co-workers or employees. Try not to pay attention to co-workers' slow methods now--that will only serve to frustrate you. Apply your increased energy to working hard and really making a dent in the jobs you have to do.

Highlights:

October 1-2 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

October 3-4 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

October 4 A Full Moon occurs today in Aries in your solar second house. Intimacy, issues of power and control, or joint finances may have been a focus for the last two weeks. Now it's time to recognize what makes you comfortable. This Full Moon is about balancing the give and take of intimacy--the giving and receiving of pleasure. Sharing issues come into focus, as do issues of power--what's yours and what's mine. Your comfort zones matter, and now is the time to take care of your own needs without eclipsing the needs of others.

October 10-11 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

October 14-15 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor.

The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

October 18 A New Moon in Libra in your solar eighth house affects you until the next New Moon on November 16th. This is a time of empowerment. It is a good time to focus on issues of intimacy as well as developing self-mastery skills. You may experience increased awareness of others—what makes them tick—as well as your own internal motivations during this period. It is a time when intimacy and deep levels of sharing are heightened. It is also a favorable time to start a financial plan, savings plan, take out a loan or consolidate, and do work in accounting.

October 21-22 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

October 28-29 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward.

Pisces (Born February 20 to March 1) and Pisces Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Pisces:

September 2009 Pisces Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
 

September

 

Overview.

Until the 22, the Sun illuminates your solar seventh house, your house of partnerships. Close relationships with others, negotiations, compromise, and one-on-one dealings all are in focus during this cycle. This is the time of year, however, when vitality may be at a low--when you are more likely to catch a cold or to need more sleep. Chances to improve or attract a close partnership abound, however. It's time to compromise, negotiate, and perhaps let a partner take the lead for a while.

From the 22, the Sun energizes your sector of transformation, change, sexuality, personal growth, regeneration, others' money and resources, addictions, and taxes. As a result, this is not the most gregarious of months for you. You take a step back, focus on intimacy with a partner, or simply retreat a little from the hectic pace of life. This is an excellent time to create a budget or financial plan, or to rid yourself of bad habits that undermine your sense of personal power and self-mastery. All that is deeply personal comes into focus now. Intimate matters are especially important to you during this cycle. Just how well you are handling your life comes up for inspection. Your self-mastery skills and psychological predisposition matter to you more than usual. This is the time of year when you are most desirous of change on a deep level. Clearing out psychic "junk" or ridding yourself of bad habits may be part of the picture now. You are more willing than usual to explore life's secrets. This cycle brings greater in-depth understanding and an inclination to delve beneath the surface of matters to get to the bottom of them. Research uncovers new material that allows you to develop a better overall picture of the year's events. This is an especially introspective cycle during which you have the chance to truly uncover your personal strengths and talents. On a more practical level, you may be dealing with joint finances and shared resources now more than usual.

You attract strong, supportive, and powerful people to you this month, dear Pisces. Relationships with others are spirited, dynamic, and in strong focus. You are especially willing to please a partner, but not afraid to take the lead either. Emotions run high in the days surrounding a Full Moon in your sign on the 4th. Responsibilities to others, and especially a partner, are magnified mid-month, and could be frustrating or felt to be limiting. A feeling that you don’t know where you stand with a significant other eases towards month’s end. Work is pleasurable, and so is leisure time.

Mercury is retrograde from September 7-29 this month. All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications with or about partnerships, as well as communications with or about family and home, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. It will be important to avoid signing any contracts or making important partnership or family/home decisions during this cycle. Occurring in your solar seventh and eighth houses this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to negotiations, one-on-one communications, and any financial initiatives that involve shared resources. Be as non-judgmental as you can with a partner. There may be the need to revisit old issues in a partnership, or there could be some communication problems with a partner. An ex-partner may resurface during this cycle. Delays are very possible when it comes to receiving support, loans, and taxes. It may be better to side-step arguments with loved ones that revolve around intimacy and sexuality. Investments made now may not go the way you want them to, particularly those involving joint finances. It may be hard to rely on the input of your partner now, and money you were counting on may not be forthcoming. It's best to budget rather than spend.  Misunderstandings with your partner now can do some damage if you (or your partner) focus on words said instead of the meanings behind the words. If you need to talk through problems, do your best to be as non-judgmental as possible, and don't over-react to what your partner has to say either. Mixed messages coming from a partner, or a disappointment, could occur now. You may not be as adept at mediating disputes for the time being, but it's a good cycle in which to improve your negotiation skills. Re-thinking a partnership arrangement is possible now, but you should avoid jumping to any premature decisions. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with partners; or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.

Saturn opposes Uranus this month, and occurs in your solar seventh and first houses. This long-term transit has been in effect since November 2008, and is renewed this month. A real feeling of restlessness is in the air now. Attempts to assert our individuality, freedom, and originality undermine our feeling of groundedness and security. Yet, we are not satisfied when we conform. There may be sudden and unexpected twists that force us to do something different or free ourselves from old habits. Adjusting our plans is in order, and striking a balance between convention and innovation is the challenge. Setbacks tend to be temporary and often lead to new, more creative paths or solutions. Ambivalence is likely and could color many of our interactions. It can be challenging to make one particular decision and stick to it. For you, this transit is an especially personal one. Your desire for personal freedom is strong, yet outside influences and commitments, particularly coming from a partner or partnership, seem to be blocking you. The challenge is to find a balance.

Venus continues to journey through your work and health sector until the 20. This is a good time to promote harmony and good will on the job. Some laziness is possible now, as you tend to associate pleasure with work. Perhaps you are socializing more than usual on the job. You have good team spirit right now, and you are more tactful and obliging with your co-workers. Some people obtain a pet during this cycle. Love affairs may occur on the job, or at least attractions. Still, you are less inclined to fall in love for the sake of love itself during this cycle. Your tendency is to consider whether it is clever to do so. You're most successful doing tasks that involve cooperation and team harmony, and/or the personal, human side of things. A pleasant break from routine, even a short vacation, would be appropriate now.

Venus moves through your partnership sector from the 20. Special attention to and from a partner is in focus, and flattery will get you everywhere if you use it wisely. One-to-one relating appeals to you more than group activities or more casual connections. Smoothing out your close personal relationships is what makes you happy during this cycle. If single, you are more willing than normal to enter into a committed relationship. In general, you are adaptable when it comes to your affections--very willing to compromise, negotiate, and make peace.

Mars continues to activate your solar fifth house this month. During this cycle, you are likely to exert your energy and initiative into actively pursuing a rewarding love life, social amusement, and pleasure in general. You have a likeable, competitive, and almost flamboyant temperament during this transit. There is a stronger desire for creative endeavors, athletics, risk-taking pursuits, and perhaps some gambling if inclined.

 

Highlights:

September 3-4 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

September 4 A Full Moon occurs today in Pisces in your solar first house. "Hey, what about me?" is the feeling of a Full Moon in the first house. You're looking for a bit of attention right now as you feel that life has been too "other-oriented" recently. Try to avoid infantile outbursts. Instead, work on your self-assertiveness. You do count, and there are ways to assert your own needs without stepping on others' toes. Finding a balance between autonomy and dependence is what this Full Moon is about for you. Your emotions are on your sleeve right now. It is a good time to put your needs first, but doing so with respect for others will take you further. Whether you can succeed as a leader is "tested" right now.

September 6-7 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

September 6-8 Mercury is stationary retrograde now, and will remain retrograde until September 29th--a cycle during which rethinking matters is the name of the game. When Mercury is stationary, as it is now, it's especially important to prepare for possible breakdowns in communication. Back up your computer, double-check your paperwork, and remember that you may not have all the necessary information to make big decisions for the time being. Avoid signing contracts or deals, as they may not work out as you expected, or they might need revision later.

September 13-14 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

September 17-18 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

September 18 A New Moon in Virgo in your solar seventh house affects you until the next New Moon on October 18th. Negotiations and diplomacy are highlighted during this period, as it is a favorable time to begin new relationships or to re-define existing ones. Issues of sharing and partnership come to the fore. Increased awareness of the need for someone significant to lean on or to rely on is often associated with this position. Working on, or resolving to work on, relationships that are mutually supportive is a good idea at this time. If you find yourself sensitive to the feeling of lacking support from partners, this may be a good time to ask yourself how companionable you are, and work on developing yourself in this area of life. You might just find that this is a period when you are at your most gracious. It is also a good time to make contacts and to make something public.

September 23-24 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

September 28-30 Mercury stations and turns direct on September 29th. Holding off on important discussions, interviews, or contracts is probably wise right now, as thinking is foggy and misunderstandings are likely. As Mercury moves forward and regains speed over the next couple of weeks, we can more easily get new projects off the ground.

Pisces (Born February 20 to March 1) and Pisces Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Pisces:

August 2009 Pisces Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
 

August

 

Overview.

Until the 22, the Sun continues to spotlight your work and health sector. You take more pride in the work you do and in your health routines than any other time of the year. You are sorting through the experiences of the last several months, separating the worthwhile from the worthless. This is a good time to build your skills, to get organized, and to attend to your health and wellbeing. It’s a great time to make improvements to your regular routines. Your self-esteem and your ego are tied up in the work you do and in the services you give. You may be drawn into some form of service that will bring deep personal satisfaction. At this time, you seek perfection and distinction in your work and this quality bring you a more responsible position. This cycle presents an opportunity to get rid of what doesn't work in your life, while also discovering what does. More than any time of the year, you are conscious of your mental and physical health, daily routines, everyday working life, and your working methods.

From the 22, the Sun illuminates your seventh house. At this time of year, you have a greater need than usual to be with a partner. Bouncing ideas off someone helps you to better understand yourself. A partner provides a mirror for your own self-discovery. Now is the time to realize your own potential through a significant other. During this cycle, you focus on balancing your personal interests and objectives with your social life, or with those of a partner. The emphasis is on "us" rather than "me". You need the energies, companionship, and support of other people, and they may also seek out your support and companionship. It's important to include others rather than to go solo for the time being. However, bending too much to the will of another is not advised either. Social interactions of a personal, one-on-one kind are emphasized. Circumstances are such that your diplomacy skills are required. Your popularity is increasing, and is reinforced by your own ability to cooperate and harmonize. Your ego and pride are tied up in how you relate to others now. This may be an especially busy time for people who consult or work with clients one-on-one.

Life might seem a little chaotic in August, dear Pisces, as you feel pulled in many directions. However, if you take extra time for relaxation and reflection, which the cosmos fairly forces you to do from the 1-8, you will find the energy to balance it all. It might seem counterintuitive to take extra time for repose when you’re in demand, but you’ll be far more effective if you do. Getting organized and sorting out mundane affairs is necessary, while expressing your creativity and romantic impulses are strong. A serious conversation with a partner might figure around the 17th.

Last month, two eclipses occurred, and this month, there is one more. (Usually eclipses occur in sets of two, but this time around we have three). A Lunar Eclipse occurs on the 5th at approximately 14 degrees Aquarius. The effects of eclipses stay with us for as long as six months, and they reveal main areas of focus for this half-year period. A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before an eclipse. This is because new information that could change our perspective often is revealed in the week after the eclipse. Therefore, major decision-making is best avoided from July 30th-August 6th.

The Lunar Eclipse on the 5th stimulates your solar twelfth house. Surprises surrounding the compassionate care and attention you give others, as well as the work and service you render, may be in store. Something that has been "in hiding" or brewing under the surface of things comes to light, or there is a significant fruition or culmination. Your sectors of self-undoing, privacy, and dreams is involved. This could manifest, for example, as a situation that tests your faith and compassion, a culmination or fruition of a service you render, an event that calls on your urge for privacy and reflection, and other such possibilities. Finding a balance between practical concerns and spiritual or non-material matters is what this Lunar Eclipse is about for you.

Venus graces your solar fifth house until the 26. Your popularity is on an upward trend during this cycle as others find you especially attractive and friendly. You may have the desire to dress well and in good taste. There is strength in your feelings of love and the power of attraction, which may open the door to new romantic relationships. Yet, you are not aggressive in your approach to love. Instead, you attract more if you allow yourself to be pursued during this cycle. Conditions are highlighted in connection with young people, and quite possibly a female child--a stronger bond could be formed during this period. You are feeling inspired creatively and romantically and you express your loving feelings quite openly now. Creative self-expression of any kind is favored at this time. You will also thoroughly enjoy artistic, musical, or cultural events and activities, especially in the company of a loved one. At this time, you instinctively know how to place yourself in the best light in order to make a good impression on others. Any love affair begun now will be characterized by good cheer, having fun, and a fair share of emotional drama!

Venus graces your work and health sector from the 26. This is a good time to promote harmony and good will on the job. Some laziness is possible now, as you tend to associate pleasure with work. Perhaps you are socializing more than usual on the job. You have good team spirit right now, and you are more tactful and obliging with your co-workers. Some people obtain a pet during this cycle. Love affairs may occur on the job, or at least attractions. Still, you are less inclined to fall in love for the sake of love itself during this cycle. Your tendency is to consider whether it is clever to do so. You're most successful doing tasks that involve cooperation and team harmony, and/or the personal, human side of things. A pleasant break from routine, even a short vacation, would be appropriate now.

Mercury enlivens your partnership sector from the 2-25. During this time, the desire to bounce ideas off a partner or close friend is very strong. Communication becomes especially important to you. You feel attracted to intelligent people with whom you can communicate well and exchange ideas during this cycle. You know how to relate to others and you do it in a natural and warm manner. You will seek chatty and restless friends who stimulate your curiosity and mental abilities. You may attract a younger person into your life.

Mercury transits your solar eighth house from the 25. Transits of Mercury point to current areas of interest and to where our thoughts are for the time being. You take a keener interest in all that lies below the surface during this period. Mystery and intrigue appeals to you. Your mind may be working like that of a detective, uncovering information and analyzing motives. Others may be investigating you in some manner. This is a period of strategizing. Mulling over shared resources and finances, or negotiations involving them, could also figure now.

Mars continues to move through your fourth house until the 25, energizing your domestic life and relationships with family. This might express itself as more activity on the home front. You could literally apply your energy to working around the house, for example. Or, you might find that there is a lot of hustle and bustle in your home. Energized interaction with family is also very possible now, and this can be positive or negative, depending on how the energy is handled! You are slightly more defensive and certainly more protective than usual during this period. You might engage in arguments with, or on behalf of, those closest to you.

Mars energizes your solar fifth house from the 25. This is a very self-expressive time when you have lots of energy, but not necessarily self-discipline to match. You have more energy at your disposal to express yourself creatively, through activities with children, romantic activities, hobbies, or sports. Your love life may step up a notch, and this could be an especially passionate time. You tend to put more energy into play and pleasure! Be careful not to burn the candle at both ends. Also, watch out for a tendency to want to gamble. You are more playful than usual, and especially magnetic.

Highlights:

July 31-August 1 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

August 5 A Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurs today in Aquarius in your solar twelfth house. Circumstances are such that you have an overwhelming need to be alone. You've been busy with all sorts of everyday activities, deeply involved in your work and routines. It's time to balance your life with some down time—otherwise, you simply don't feel whole. Issues come to light that originate from deep within. It's an excellent time to get in touch with what's been brewing beneath the surface. A secret may be revealed.

August 7-8 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

August 10-11 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

August 16-17 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

August 20 A New Moon in Leo in your solar sixth house affects you until the next New Moon on September 18th. The New Moon in the sixth house heralds a time when new diet regimes, healthy routines, and satisfying work schedules can be successfully initiated. It is a time of taking care of business, handling details, and increasing your efficiency by re-organizing or simply by working enthusiastically at tasks that help you get caught up in your work. It is also a good time for analysis of any sort, as critical thinking is now at its peak. This period is marked by a desire to sort things out, but also to be useful. 

August 21-22 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

August 25-27 Venus, Mercury, and Mars are changing signs, Venus is highlighting the recent Solar Eclipse degree and joining with the South Node of the Moon, Mercury squares Pluto, and Mars opposes Pluto. These influences all occurring at once can point to troubles from the past resurfacing, as well as faulty, hasty, or haughty decision making for all signs. Keep a cool head if you can.

August 27-28 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

Pisces (Born March 2 to March 11) and Pisces Ascendant 10 to 20 degrees Pisces:

November 2009 Pisces Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
 

November

 

Overview.

This month, with the Sun spotlighting your solar ninth house, your focus turns outward, away from the more personal concerns that have occupied your thoughts in the last months. More than any other time during the year, you are feeling most adventurous and willing to take a leap of faith. This is a cycle in which you seek a higher meaning to your life, and/or seek out new experiences that take you beyond the here and now, and beyond the mundane details of day-to-day life. Anything that broadens your experiences attracts now. A lack of superficiality finds you straight to the point, interested in the truth of things. It would be wise for you to consider scheduling a vacation, adventure of sorts, or a course that expands your mind. These don't have to happen now, but taking the time to recognize your needs for escaping the daily grind, taking a few risks, and feeding your spirit for self-expression through some form of adventure or higher learning, will help you to feel good about yourself. The only caution with this cycle is that you could lose touch with managing everyday affairs and important details.

You have a pleasant feeling that matters are moving forward in your life this month, dear Pisces. Pressures are easing, your confidence is building, and the important people in your life are supportive. Work is especially dynamic, busy, and possibly demanding of your time and energy. It's also especially profitable! In the last week of the month, professional responsibilities are in focus, and you're expressing yourself in a highly competent manner. Your ambitions are building, and attention to practical matters pays off. It's a good time to think in big terms, and seize career opportunities as they arise.

Venus continues her journey through your intimacy sector until the 15. Intimate connections can be especially rich and meaningful during this cycle. Your magnetism revolves around mysterious fascination rather than outgoing charm. Intensity appeals in your relationships. This can also be a time in which you discover untapped resources or talents, as you are discovering the beauty in your own depths. It’s a good time to work out money problems or other issues of sharing with a partner. You may get the backing you need now--financial or emotional.

Venus journeys through your adventure sector from the 15. During this period, you are more self-expressive and adventurous with regards to expressing your affections. A love interest who attracts you during this cycle may be somebody who you previously wouldn't consider attractive, or someone whose cultural background is very different than yours. Your perceptions of beauty, in general, are broadened and widened now, and this can extend to things that attract you, including objects and ideas. You have a taste for the exotic and the spirit to match.

From the 3-22, Mercury moves through your solar ninth house. Transits of Mercury point to current areas of interests and where our thoughts are for the time being. You take more interest in the bigger picture rather than details during this period. Educational or philosophical subjects could interest now. Decisions made now are more inclined to take into consideration morals and ethics--not only practical concerns. From the 22, Mercury moves through your solar tenth house, turning your thoughts to practical matters, goals, and professional matters. For the most part, you are applying your mental and communicative abilities to professional or more worldly ambitions. You might be seeking information and knowledge in order to enhance your social or career prospects, for example, or you might be thinking a lot about your career goals. This is a good time for coming up with strategies in your professional life, for career planning, or simply thinking in more concrete, ambitious, and practical terms. It can also be a strong time for speaking about your goals or with a person who can help you work towards and achieve your goals. Negative expression of this placement can be worrying unnecessarily about your reputation or your responsibilities, or excessive multi-tasking that takes you away from what is truly important.

Mars animates and energizes your solar sixth house from the 7th, bringing increased energy, initiative, and enterprise to your work and health programs. You are especially energetic when it comes to getting things done. You tend to want to pioneer or lead on the job front during this cycle, and it's best to find ways to do so. Otherwise, you might become frustrated and impatient easily, or get involved with tensions between yourself and co-workers or employees. Try not to pay attention to co-workers' slow methods now--that will only serve to frustrate you. Apply your increased energy to working hard and really making a dent in the jobs you have to do.

 

Highlights:

October 31-November 1 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

November 2 A Full Moon occurs today in Taurus in your solar third house. The last two weeks have found you somewhat restless and in need of more from life than the mundane. Now the mundane is catching up with you. Errands need to be run, people are talking your ear off, you need to do some paperwork and answer calls. An important document could arrive, or a sudden need to run an important errand or to take a short trip could be part of the picture. You are pushed to find a balance now. Do what needs to be done so that you can free yourself up for more adventurous and fulfilling activities.

November 7-8 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

November 11-12 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

November 16 A New Moon in Scorpio in your solar ninth house affects you until the next New Moon on December 16th. The ninth house rules our spirit to grow, explore, and expand beyond the "regular" experiences in our lives. The New Moon here may bring some restlessness and dissatisfaction with regular routines. Make an effort to initiate new projects or activities that expand your mind, feed your spirit for adventure, and stretch your imagination. You may feel renewed by a new perspective on your life, something philosophical or spiritual that you read or learn, or an adventure that takes you away from the mundane routines in your life.

November 18-19 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

November 25-26 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

November 28-29 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

Pisces (Born March 2 to March 11) and Pisces Ascendant 10 to 20 degrees Pisces:

October 2009 Pisces Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
 

October

 

Overview.

This month, the Sun energizes your sector of transformation, change, sexuality, personal growth, regeneration, others' money and resources, addictions, and taxes. As a result, this is not the most gregarious of months for you. You take a step back, focus on intimacy with a partner, or simply retreat a little from the hectic pace of life. This is an excellent time to create a budget or financial plan, or to rid yourself of bad habits that undermine your sense of personal power and self-mastery. All that is deeply personal comes into focus now. Intimate matters are especially important to you during this cycle. Just how well you are handling your life comes up for inspection. Your self-mastery skills and psychological predisposition matter to you more than usual. This is the time of year when you are most desirous of change on a deep level. Clearing out psychic "junk" or ridding yourself of bad habits may be part of the picture now. You are more willing than usual to explore life's secrets. This cycle brings greater in-depth understanding and an inclination to delve beneath the surface of matters to get to the bottom of them. Research uncovers new material that allows you to develop a better overall picture of the year's events. This is an especially introspective cycle during which you have the chance to truly uncover your personal strengths and talents. On a more practical level, you may be dealing with joint finances and shared resources now more than usual.

This month, money matters, particularly regarding money owed or shared, are big themes for you, dear Pisces. Support from others, from friends, and business loans are in focus and possibly a source of stress this month. Partnership matters improve, and you might even feel as if a weight has lifted from you in this area of life. However, relationships are not without intensity now. The need for new depths of intimacy becomes increasingly clear this month. Career matters begin to move forward after a period of seeming standstill or stagnation.

Venus continues her trek through your partnership sector until the 22. During this cycle, your emotional health depends largely on how meaningful your relationships are, whether these are social or romantic ones, or both. A partner may be enjoying an increase in income or other forms of personal success. Your focus is on giving to a partner. Smoothing out your close personal relationships is what makes you happy during this cycle. You have a greater need than usual for contact and exchange with an intimate partner. If single, you are more willing than normal to enter into a committed relationship. In general, you are adaptable when it comes to your affections right now, and very willing to meet the emotional needs of important others in your life.

Venus journeys through your intimacy sector from the 22. Intimate connections can be especially rich and meaningful during this cycle. Your magnetism revolves around mysterious fascination rather than outgoing charm. Intensity appeals in your relationships. This can also be a time in which you discover untapped resources or talents, as you are discovering the beauty in your own depths. It’s a good time to work out money problems or other issues of sharing with a partner. You may get the backing you need now--financial or emotional.

Until the 16, Mercury continues to enliven your partnership sector. During this time, the desire to bounce ideas off a partner or close friend is very strong. Communication becomes especially important to you. You feel attracted to intelligent people with whom you can communicate well and exchange ideas during this cycle. You know how to relate to others and you do it in a natural and warm manner. You tend to seek chatty and restless friends who stimulate your curiosity and mentality. You may attract a younger person into your life. From the 16, Mercury transits your solar eighth house, and you take a keener interest in all that lies below the surface during this period. Mystery and intrigue appeals to you. Your mind may be working like that of a detective, uncovering information and analyzing motives. This is a period of strategizing. Mulling over shared resources and finances, or negotiations involving them, could also figure now.

Mars continues to animate and energize your solar fifth house this month. During this cycle, you are likely to exert a lot of your energy and initiative into actively pursuing a rewarding love life, social amusement or hobbies, activities with children, and pleasure in general. You have a likeably competitive, more energetic and pleasingly assertive temperament during this transit. There is a stronger desire to take part in creative endeavors, athletics, risk-taking pursuits, and perhaps some gambling if inclined.

Highlights:

October 1-2 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

October 4-5 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

October 4 A Full Moon occurs today in Aries in your solar second house. Intimacy, issues of power and control, or joint finances may have been a focus for the last two weeks. Now it's time to recognize what makes you comfortable. This Full Moon is about balancing the give and take of intimacy--the giving and receiving of pleasure. Sharing issues come into focus, as do issues of power--what's yours and what's mine. Your comfort zones matter, and now is the time to take care of your own needs without eclipsing the needs of others.

October 11-12 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

October 15-16 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

October 18 A New Moon in Libra in your solar eighth house affects you until the next New Moon on November 16th. This is a time of empowerment. It is a good time to focus on issues of intimacy as well as developing self-mastery skills. You may experience increased awareness of others—what makes them tick—as well as your own internal motivations during this period. It is a time when intimacy and deep levels of sharing are heightened. It is also a favorable time to start a financial plan, savings plan, take out a loan or consolidate, and do work in accounting.

October 21-22 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

October 29-30 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

October 31-November 1 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

September 2009 Pisces Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
 

September

 

Overview.

This month, the Sun illuminates your seventh house. At this time of year, you have a greater need than usual to be with a partner. Bouncing ideas off someone helps you to better understand yourself. A partner provides a mirror for your own self-discovery. Now is the time to realize your own potential through a significant other. During this cycle, you focus on balancing your personal interests and objectives with your social life, or with those of a partner. The emphasis is on "us" rather than "me". You need the energies, companionship, and support of other people, and they may also seek out your support and companionship. It's important to include others rather than to go solo for the time being. However, bending too much to the will of another is not advised either. Social interactions of a personal, one-on-one kind are emphasized. Circumstances are such that your diplomacy skills are required. Your popularity is increasing, and is reinforced by your own ability to cooperate and harmonize. Your ego and pride are tied up in how you relate to others now. This may be an especially busy time for people who consult or work with clients one-on-one.

You attract strong, supportive, and powerful people to you this month, dear Pisces. Relationships with others are spirited, dynamic, and in strong focus. You are especially willing to please a partner, but not afraid to take the lead either. Emotions run high in the days surrounding a Full Moon in your sign on the 4th. Responsibilities to others, and especially a partner, are magnified mid-month, and could be frustrating or felt to be limiting. A feeling that you don’t know where you stand with a significant other eases towards month’s end. Work is pleasurable, and so is leisure time.

Mercury is retrograde from September 7-29 this month. All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications with or about partnerships, as well as communications with or about family and home, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. It will be important to avoid signing any contracts or making important partnership or family/home decisions during this cycle. Occurring in your solar seventh house this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to negotiations and one-on-one communications. Be as non-judgmental as you can with a partner. There may be the need to revisit old issues in a partnership, or there could be some communication problems with a partner. An ex-partner may resurface during this cycle. Misunderstandings with your partner now can do some damage if you (or your partner) focus on words said instead of the meanings behind the words. If you need to talk through problems, do your best to be as non-judgmental as possible, and don't over-react to what your partner has to say either. Mixed messages coming from a partner, or a disappointment, could occur now. You may not be as adept at mediating disputes for the time being, but it's a good cycle in which to improve your negotiation skills. Re-thinking a partnership arrangement is possible now, but you should avoid jumping to any premature decisions. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with partners; or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.

Saturn opposes Uranus this month, and occurs in your solar seventh and first houses. This long-term transit has been in effect since November 2008, and is renewed this month. A real feeling of restlessness is in the air now. Attempts to assert our individuality, freedom, and originality undermine our feeling of groundedness and security. Yet, we are not satisfied when we conform. There may be sudden and unexpected twists that force us to do something different or free ourselves from old habits. Adjusting our plans is in order, and striking a balance between convention and innovation is the challenge. Setbacks tend to be temporary and often lead to new, more creative paths or solutions. Ambivalence is likely and could color many of our interactions. It can be challenging to make one particular decision and stick to it. For you, this transit is an especially personal one. Your desire for personal freedom is strong, yet outside influences and commitments, particularly coming from a partner or partnership, seem to be blocking you. The challenge is to find a balance.

Venus journeys through your work and health sector from the 4-28. Establishing a happy and harmonious work environment through friendly relations with co-workers or tidying up your work area comes into focus now. Romantic and social activities may revolve around your working environment. You are generally well liked and respected socially on the job right now. Some laziness is possible now, as you tend to associate pleasure with work! Perhaps you are socializing more than usual on the job. You have good team spirit during this cycle, and you are more tactful and obliging with your co-workers. You are less inclined to fall in love for the sake of love itself during this cycle. Your tendency is to consider whether it is clever to do so! You're most successful doing tasks that involve cooperation and team harmony. You could find that your talents or skills are especially appreciated. Romantic and social activities may revolve around your working environment.

Venus moves through your partnership sector from the 28. Special attention to and from a partner is in focus, and flattery will get you everywhere if you use it wisely. One-to-one relating appeals to you more than group activities or more casual connections. Smoothing out your close personal relationships is what makes you happy during this cycle. If single, you are more willing than normal to enter into a committed relationship. In general, you are adaptable when it comes to your affections--very willing to compromise, negotiate, and make peace.

Mars continues to move through your fourth house until the 11, energizing your domestic life and relationships with family. This might express itself as more activity on the home front. You could literally apply your energy to working around the house, for example. Or, you might find that there is a lot of hustle and bustle in your home. Energized interaction with family is also very possible now, and this can be positive or negative, depending on how the energy is handled! You are slightly more defensive and certainly more protective than usual during this period. You might engage in arguments with, or on behalf of, those closest to you.

Mars animates your solar fifth house from the 11. This is a very self-expressive time when you have lots of energy, but not necessarily self-discipline to match. You have more energy at your disposal to express yourself creatively, through activities with children, romantic activities, hobbies, or sports. Your love life may step up a notch, and this could be an especially passionate time. You tend to put more energy into play and pleasure! Be careful not to burn the candle at both ends. Also, watch out for a tendency to want to gamble. You are more playful than usual, and especially magnetic.

Highlights:

September 4 A Full Moon occurs today in Pisces in your solar first house. "Hey, what about me?" is the feeling of a Full Moon in the first house. You're looking for a bit of attention right now as you feel that life has been too "other-oriented" recently. Try to avoid infantile outbursts. Instead, work on your self-assertiveness. You do count, and there are ways to assert your own needs without stepping on others' toes. Finding a balance between autonomy and dependence is what this Full Moon is about for you. Your emotions are on your sleeve right now. It is a good time to put your needs first, but doing so with respect for others will take you further. Whether you can succeed as a leader is "tested" right now.

September 4-5 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

September 6-8 Mercury is stationary retrograde now, and will remain retrograde until September 29th--a cycle during which rethinking matters is the name of the game. When Mercury is stationary, as it is now, it's especially important to prepare for possible breakdowns in communication. Back up your computer, double-check your paperwork, and remember that you may not have all the necessary information to make big decisions for the time being. Avoid signing contracts or deals, as they may not work out as you expected, or they might need revision later.

September 7-8 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

September 13-14 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

September 17-18 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

September 18 A New Moon in Virgo in your solar seventh house affects you until the next New Moon on October 18th. Negotiations and diplomacy are highlighted during this period, as it is a favorable time to begin new relationships or to re-define existing ones. Issues of sharing and partnership come to the fore. Increased awareness of the need for someone significant to lean on or to rely on is often associated with this position. Working on, or resolving to work on, relationships that are mutually supportive is a good idea at this time. If you find yourself sensitive to the feeling of lacking support from partners, this may be a good time to ask yourself how companionable you are, and work on developing yourself in this area of life. You might just find that this is a period when you are at your most gracious. It is also a good time to make contacts and to make something public.

September 24-25 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

September 28-30 Mercury stations and turns direct on September 29th. Holding off on important discussions, interviews, or contracts is probably wise right now, as thinking is foggy and misunderstandings are likely. As Mercury moves forward and regains speed over the next couple of weeks, we can more easily get new projects off the ground.

Pisces (Born March 2 to March 11) and Pisces Ascendant 10 to 20 degrees Pisces:

August 2009 Pisces Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
 

August

 

Overview.

The Sun illuminates your sixth house this month. During this cycle, you take more pride in the work you do and in your health routines than any other time of the year. You are sorting through the experiences of the last several months, separating the worthwhile from the worthless. This is a good time to build your skills, to get organized, and to attend to your health and wellbeing. It’s a great time to make improvements to your regular routines. Your self-esteem and your ego are tied up in the work you do and in the services you give. Details are more important to you now. It's time to bring order to your life by focusing on the little things that make up the whole. This cycle presents an opportunity to get rid of what doesn't work in your life, while also discovering what does. You could seek distinction and strive towards perfection in your work. Efficiency should be your goal now. Your physical health, as well as the relationship between your body and your mind, are in focus.

Life might seem a little chaotic in August, dear Pisces, as you feel pulled in many directions. However, if you take extra time for relaxation and reflection, which the cosmos fairly forces you to do from the 1-8, you will find the energy to balance it all. It might seem counterintuitive to take extra time for repose when you’re in demand, but you’ll be far more effective if you do. Getting organized and sorting out mundane affairs is necessary, while expressing your creativity and romantic impulses are strong. A serious conversation with a partner might figure around the 17th.

Last month, two eclipses occurred, and this month, there is one more. (Usually eclipses occur in sets of two, but this time around we have three). A Lunar Eclipse occurs on the 5th at approximately 14 degrees Aquarius. The effects of eclipses stay with us for as long as six months, and they reveal main areas of focus for this half-year period. A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before an eclipse. This is because new information that could change our perspective often is revealed in the week after the eclipse. Therefore, major decision-making is best avoided from July 30th-August 6th.

The Lunar Eclipse on the 5th stimulates your solar twelfth house. Surprises surrounding the compassionate care and attention you give others, as well as the work and service you render, may be in store. Something that has been "in hiding" or brewing under the surface of things comes to light, or there is a significant fruition or culmination. Your sectors of self-undoing, privacy, and dreams is involved. This could manifest, for example, as a situation that tests your faith and compassion, a culmination or fruition of a service you render, an event that calls on your urge for privacy and reflection, and other such possibilities. Finding a balance between practical concerns and spiritual or non-material matters is what this Lunar Eclipse is about for you.

Venus continues to transit your solar fourth house until the 9. Domestic relationships and the home environment tend to be harmonious and peaceful during this cycle. You may have a desire to decorate your home with good taste and quality. An inner sense of peace and security prevails. Your affections are strong but you don't wear your heart on your sleeve just now, preferring quiet moments with loved ones.

Venus graces your solar fifth house from the 9. Your popularity is on an upward trend during this cycle as others find you especially attractive and friendly. You may have the desire to dress well and in good taste. There is strength in your feelings of love and the power of attraction, which may open the door to new romantic relationships. Yet, you are not aggressive in your approach to love. Instead, you attract more if you allow yourself to be pursued during this cycle. Conditions are highlighted in connection with young people, and quite possibly a female child--a stronger bond could be formed during this period. You are feeling inspired creatively and romantically and you express your loving feelings quite openly now. Creative self-expression of any kind is favored at this time. You will also thoroughly enjoy artistic, musical, or cultural events and activities, especially in the company of a loved one. At this time, you instinctively know how to place yourself in the best light in order to make a good impression on others. Any love affair begun now will be characterized by good cheer, having fun, and a fair share of emotional drama!

Mercury continues to transit your work and health sector until the 9. Your approach to work during this cycle is pleasant, happy, and logical for the most part, unless you allow worry or scattered energy to enter the picture. You might also enjoy analyzing different health or nutrition programs. You are inclined to want to learn new work skills, or to improve your skills and output in terms of work. There is likely to be more activity, movement, contact, and communications with co-workers now. You tend to take more interest in organizing your working environment--and this is an excellent time to do so, as you are especially objective and intelligent when it comes to getting a handle on your daily affairs and all of the "little things" that contribute to a feeling of efficiency and competency. Watch, however, for tension or idle chit-chat interfering with your work output this month.

Mercury enlivens your partnership sector from the 9. During this time, the desire to bounce ideas off a partner or close friend is very strong. Communication becomes especially important to you. You feel attracted to intelligent people with whom you can communicate well and exchange ideas during this cycle. You know how to relate to others and you do it in a natural and warm manner. You will seek chatty and restless friends who stimulate your curiosity and mental abilities. You may attract a younger person into your life.

Mars continues to move through your fourth house this month, energizing your domestic life and relationships with family. This might express itself as more activity on the home front. You could literally apply your energy to working around the house, for example. Or, you might find that there is a lot of hustle and bustle in your home. Energized interaction with family is also very possible now, and this can be positive or negative, depending on how the energy is handled! You are slightly more defensive and certainly more protective than usual during this period. You might engage in arguments with, or on behalf of, those closest to you.

Highlights:

August 1-2 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

August 5 A Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurs today in Aquarius in your solar twelfth house. Circumstances are such that you have an overwhelming need to be alone. You've been busy with all sorts of everyday activities, deeply involved in your work and routines. It's time to balance your life with some down time—otherwise, you simply don't feel whole. Issues come to light that originate from deep within. It's an excellent time to get in touch with what's been brewing beneath the surface. A secret may be revealed.

August 8-9 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

August 10-11 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

August 16-17 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

August 20 A New Moon in Leo in your solar sixth house affects you until the next New Moon on September 18th. The New Moon in the sixth house heralds a time when new diet regimes, healthy routines, and satisfying work schedules can be successfully initiated. It is a time of taking care of business, handling details, and increasing your efficiency by re-organizing or simply by working enthusiastically at tasks that help you get caught up in your work. It is also a good time for analysis of any sort, as critical thinking is now at its peak. This period is marked by a desire to sort things out, but also to be useful. 

August 21-22 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

August 25-27 Venus, Mercury, and Mars are changing signs, Venus is highlighting the recent Solar Eclipse degree and joining with the South Node of the Moon, Mercury squares Pluto, and Mars opposes Pluto. These influences all occurring at once can point to troubles from the past resurfacing, as well as faulty, hasty, or haughty decision making for all signs. Keep a cool head if you can.

August 28-29 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

Pisces (Born March 12 to 20)
AND Pisces Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Pisces:

November 2009 Pisces Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
 

November

 

Overview.

Until the 12, the Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar eighth house--a transit that began in September. Personal transformations, personal power, and intimate matters fulfill you most during this cycle. There may be a strong focus on other's money, such as the resources of a partner, through inheritance, banking and loans, or taxes. You are more intense in your mood and disposition, and perhaps even secretive, at this time of year. You are more willing to recognize the darker and more challenging aspects of your own personality, and more apt to see these things in others. Emotions tend to run deep right now, and you don't much like losing or feeling powerless. This can be a determined and personally powerful time of year if you apply the energy of this transit constructively.

From the 12, with the Sun spotlighting your solar ninth house, your focus turns outward, away from the more personal concerns that have occupied your thoughts in the last months. More than any other time during the year, you are feeling most adventurous and willing to take a leap of faith. This is a cycle in which you seek a higher meaning to your life, and/or seek out new experiences that take you beyond the here and now, and beyond the mundane details of day-to-day life. Anything that broadens your experiences attracts now. A lack of superficiality finds you straight to the point, interested in the truth of things. It would be wise for you to consider scheduling a vacation, adventure of sorts, or a course that expands your mind. These don't have to happen now, but taking the time to recognize your needs for escaping the daily grind, taking a few risks, and feeding your spirit for self-expression through some form of adventure or higher learning, will help you to feel good about yourself. The only caution with this cycle is that you could lose touch with managing everyday affairs and important details.

You have a pleasant feeling that matters are moving forward in your life this month, dear Pisces. Pressures are easing, your confidence is building, and the important people in your life are supportive. Work is especially dynamic, busy, and possibly demanding of your time and energy. It's also especially profitable! In the last week of the month, professional responsibilities are in focus, and you're expressing yourself in a highly competent manner. Your ambitions are building, and attention to practical matters pays off. It's a good time to think in big terms, and seize career opportunities as they arise.

Venus continues her journey through your intimacy sector until the 23. Intimate connections can be especially rich and meaningful during this cycle. Your magnetism revolves around mysterious fascination rather than outgoing charm. Intensity appeals in your relationships. This can also be a time in which you discover untapped resources or talents, as you are discovering the beauty in your own depths. It’s a good time to work out money problems or other issues of sharing with a partner. You may get the backing you need now--financial or emotional.

Venus journeys through your adventure sector from the 23. During this period, you are more self-expressive and adventurous with regards to expressing your affections. A love interest who attracts you during this cycle may be somebody who you previously wouldn't consider attractive, or someone whose cultural background is very different than yours. Your perceptions of beauty, in general, are broadened and widened now, and this can extend to things that attract you, including objects and ideas. You have a taste for the exotic and the spirit to match.

From the 9-29, Mercury moves through your solar ninth house. Transits of Mercury point to current areas of interests and where our thoughts are for the time being. You take more interest in the bigger picture rather than details during this period. Educational or philosophical subjects could interest now. Decisions made now are more inclined to take into consideration morals and ethics--not only practical concerns.

Mars continues to animate and energize your solar fifth house once again this month. During this cycle, you are likely to exert a lot of your energy and initiative into actively pursuing a rewarding love life, social amusement or hobbies, activities with children, and pleasure in general. You have a likeably competitive, more energetic and pleasingly assertive temperament during this transit. There is a stronger desire to take part in creative endeavors, athletics, risk-taking pursuits, and perhaps some gambling if inclined.

 

Highlights:

November 1-2 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

November 2 A Full Moon occurs today in Taurus in your solar second house. Intimacy, issues of power and control, or joint finances may have been a focus for the last two weeks. Now it's time to recognize what makes you comfortable. This Full Moon is about balancing the give and take of intimacy--the giving and receiving of pleasure. Sharing issues come into focus, as do issues of power--what's yours and what's mine. Your comfort zones matter, and now is the time to take care of your own needs without eclipsing the needs of others.

November 8-9 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

November 12-13 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

November 16 A New Moon in Scorpio in your solar ninth house affects you until the next New Moon on December 16th. The ninth house rules our spirit to grow, explore, and expand beyond the "regular" experiences in our lives. The New Moon here may bring some restlessness and dissatisfaction with regular routines. Make an effort to initiate new projects or activities that expand your mind, feed your spirit for adventure, and stretch your imagination. You may feel renewed by a new perspective on your life, something philosophical or spiritual that you read or learn, or an adventure that takes you away from the mundane routines in your life.

November 19-20 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

November 26-27 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

November 28-29 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

Pisces (Born March 12 to 20)
AND Pisces Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Pisces:

October 2009 Pisces Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
 

October

 

Overview.

Until the 13th, the Sun illuminates your solar seventh house, your house of partnerships. Close relationships with others, negotiations, compromise, and one-on-one dealings all are in focus during this cycle. This is the time of year, however, when vitality may be at a low--when you are more likely to catch a cold or to need more sleep, for example. Chances to improve or attract a close partnership abound, however. It's time to compromise, negotiate, and perhaps let a partner take the lead for a while. Sometimes this transit indicates meeting with authoritative or even bossy people. You are willing to adapt and accommodate. Improving relationships fills a deep personal need and leads to fulfillment.

From the 13, the Sun energizes your sector of transformation, change, sexuality, personal growth, regeneration, others' money and resources, addictions, and taxes. As a result, this is not the most gregarious of months for you. You take a step back, focus on intimacy with a partner, or simply retreat a little from the hectic pace of life. This is an excellent time to create a budget or financial plan, or to rid yourself of bad habits that undermine your sense of personal power and self-mastery. All that is deeply personal comes into focus now. Intimate matters are especially important to you during this cycle. Just how well you are handling your life comes up for inspection. Your self-mastery skills and psychological predisposition matter to you more than usual. This is the time of year when you are most desirous of change on a deep level. Clearing out psychic "junk" or ridding yourself of bad habits may be part of the picture now. You are more willing than usual to explore life's secrets. This cycle brings greater in-depth understanding and an inclination to delve beneath the surface of matters to get to the bottom of them. Research uncovers new material that allows you to develop a better overall picture of the year's events. This is an especially introspective cycle during which you have the chance to truly uncover your personal strengths and talents. On a more practical level, you may be dealing with joint finances and shared resources now more than usual.

This month, money matters, particularly regarding money owed or shared, are big themes for you, dear Pisces. Support from others, from friends, and business loans are in focus and possibly a source of stress this month. Partnership matters improve, and you might even feel as if a weight has lifted from you in this area of life. However, relationships are not without intensity now. The need for new depths of intimacy becomes increasingly clear this month. Career matters begin to move forward after a period of seeming standstill or stagnation.

Venus continues to journey through your work and health sector until the 6h. This is a good time to promote good feelings and peaceful energy on the job. Some laziness is possible now, as you tend to associate pleasure with work, or perhaps you are socializing more than usual on the job. You have good team spirit right now, and you are more tactful, accommodating, and obliging with your co-workers. Some people obtain a pet during this cycle. Love affairs may occur on the job, or attractions figure strongly now. Still, you are less inclined to fall in love for the sake of love itself during this cycle. Your tendency is to consider whether it is clever to do so. You're most successful doing tasks that involve cooperation and team harmony, design and creative work, and/or the personal, human side of things. A pleasant break from routine, even a short vacation, would be good for you now.

Venus moves through your partnership sector from the 6-31. During this cycle, your emotional health depends largely on how meaningful your relationships are, whether these are social or romantic ones, or both. A partner may be enjoying an increase in income or other forms of personal success. Your focus is on giving to a partner. Smoothing out your close personal relationships is what makes you happy during this cycle. You have a greater need than usual for contact and exchange with an intimate partner. If single, you are more willing than normal to enter into a committed relationship. In general, you are adaptable when it comes to your affections right now, and very willing to meet the emotional needs of important others in your life.

Until the 22, Mercury continues to enliven your partnership sector. During this time, the desire to bounce ideas off a partner or close friend is very strong. Communication becomes especially important to you. You feel attracted to intelligent people with whom you can communicate well and exchange ideas during this cycle. You know how to relate to others and you do it in a natural and warm manner. You tend to seek chatty and restless friends who stimulate your curiosity and mentality. You may attract a younger person into your life. From the 22, Mercury transits your solar eighth house, and you take a keener interest in all that lies below the surface during this period. Mystery and intrigue appeals to you. Your mind may be working like that of a detective, uncovering information and analyzing motives. This is a period of strategizing. Mulling over shared resources and finances, or negotiations involving them, could also figure now.

Mars continues to animate and energize your solar fifth house this month. During this cycle, you are likely to exert a lot of your energy and initiative into actively pursuing a rewarding love life, social amusement or hobbies, activities with children, and pleasure in general. You have a likeably competitive, more energetic and pleasingly assertive temperament during this transit. There is a stronger desire to take part in creative endeavors, athletics, risk-taking pursuits, and perhaps some gambling if inclined.

Highlights:

October 2-3 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

October 4 A Full Moon occurs today in Aries in your solar first house. "Hey, what about me?" is the feeling of a Full Moon in the first house. You're looking for a bit of attention right now as you feel that life has been too "other-oriented" recently. Try to avoid infantile outbursts. Instead, work on your self-assertiveness. You do count, and there are ways to assert your own needs without stepping on others' toes. Finding a balance between autonomy and dependence is what this Full Moon is about for you. Your emotions are on your sleeve right now. It is a good time to put your needs first, but doing so with respect for others will take you further. Whether you can succeed as a leader is "tested" right now.

October 5-6 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

October 11-12 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

October 15-16 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

October 18 A New Moon in Libra in your solar eighth house affects you until the next New Moon on November 16th. This is a time of empowerment. It is a good time to focus on issues of intimacy as well as developing self-mastery skills. You may experience increased awareness of others—what makes them tick—as well as your own internal motivations during this period. It is a time when intimacy and deep levels of sharing are heightened. It is also a favorable time to start a financial plan, savings plan, take out a loan or consolidate, and do work in accounting.

October 22-23 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

October 30-31 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

Pisces (Born March 12 to 20)
AND Pisces Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Pisces:

September 2009 Pisces Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
 

September

 

Overview.

Until the 12th, the Sun continues to spotlight your work and health sector. You take more pride in the work you do and in your health routines than any other time of the year. You are sorting through the experiences of the last several months, separating the worthwhile from the worthless. This is a good time to build your skills, to get organized, and to attend to your health and wellbeing. It’s a great time to make improvements to your regular routines. Your self-esteem and your ego are tied up in the work you do and in the services you give. You may be drawn into some form of service that will bring deep personal satisfaction. At this time, you seek perfection and distinction in your work and this quality bring you a more responsible position. This cycle presents an opportunity to get rid of what doesn't work in your life, while also discovering what does. More than any time of the year, you are conscious of your mental and physical health, daily routines, everyday working life, and your working methods.

From the 12, the Sun illuminates your seventh house. At this time of year, you have a greater need than usual to be with a partner. Bouncing ideas off someone helps you to better understand yourself. A partner provides a mirror for your own self-discovery. Now is the time to realize your own potential through a significant other. During this cycle, you focus on balancing your personal interests and objectives with your social life, or with those of a partner. The emphasis is on "us" rather than "me". You need the energies, companionship, and support of other people, and they may also seek out your support and companionship. It's important to include others rather than to go solo for the time being. However, bending too much to the will of another is not advised either. Social interactions of a personal, one-on-one kind are emphasized. Circumstances are such that your diplomacy skills are required. Your popularity is increasing, and is reinforced by your own ability to cooperate and harmonize. Your ego and pride are tied up in how you relate to others now. This may be an especially busy time for people who consult or work with clients one-on-one.

You attract strong, supportive, and powerful people to you this month, dear Pisces. Relationships with others are spirited, dynamic, and in strong focus. You are especially willing to please a partner, but not afraid to take the lead either. Emotions run high in the days surrounding a Full Moon in your sign on the 4th. Responsibilities to others, and especially a partner, are magnified mid-month, and could be frustrating or felt to be limiting. A feeling that you don’t know where you stand with a significant other eases towards month’s end. Work is pleasurable, and so is leisure time.

Mercury is retrograde from September 7-29 this month. All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications with or about partnerships, as well as communications with or about family and home, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. It will be important to avoid signing any contracts or making important partnership or family/home decisions during this cycle. Occurring in your solar seventh house this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to negotiations and one-on-one communications. Be as non-judgmental as you can with a partner. There may be the need to revisit old issues in a partnership, or there could be some communication problems with a partner. An ex-partner may resurface during this cycle. Misunderstandings with your partner now can do some damage if you (or your partner) focus on words said instead of the meanings behind the words. If you need to talk through problems, do your best to be as non-judgmental as possible, and don't over-react to what your partner has to say either. Mixed messages coming from a partner, or a disappointment, could occur now. You may not be as adept at mediating disputes for the time being, but it's a good cycle in which to improve your negotiation skills. Re-thinking a partnership arrangement is possible now, but you should avoid jumping to any premature decisions. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with partners; or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.

Saturn opposes Uranus this month, and occurs in your solar seventh and first houses. This long-term transit has been in effect since November 2008, and is renewed this month. A real feeling of restlessness is in the air now. Attempts to assert our individuality, freedom, and originality undermine our feeling of groundedness and security. Yet, we are not satisfied when we conform. There may be sudden and unexpected twists that force us to do something different or free ourselves from old habits. Adjusting our plans is in order, and striking a balance between convention and innovation is the challenge. Setbacks tend to be temporary and often lead to new, more creative paths or solutions. Ambivalence is likely and could color many of our interactions. It can be challenging to make one particular decision and stick to it. For you, this transit is an especially personal one. Your desire for personal freedom is strong, yet outside influences and commitments, particularly coming from a partner or partnership, seem to be blocking you. The challenge is to find a balance.

Venus continues to transit your solar fifth house until the 12. Your popularity is on an upward trend during this cycle as others find you especially attractive and friendly. You may have the desire to dress well and in good taste. There is strength in your feelings of love and the power of attraction, which may open the door to new romantic relationships. Yet, you are not aggressive in your approach to love. Instead, you attract more if you allow yourself to be pursued during this cycle. Conditions are highlighted in connection with young people, and quite possibly a female child--a stronger bond could be formed during this period. You are feeling inspired creatively and romantically and you express your loving feelings quite openly now. Creative self-expression of any kind is favored at this time. You will also thoroughly enjoy artistic, musical, or cultural events and activities, especially in the company of a loved one. At this time, you instinctively know how to place yourself in the best light in order to make a good impression on others. Any love affair begun now will be characterized by good cheer, having fun, and a fair share of emotional drama!

Venus journeys through your work and health sector from the 12. Establishing a happy and harmonious work environment through friendly relations with co-workers or tidying up your work area comes into focus now. Romantic and social activities may revolve around your working environment. You are generally well liked and respected socially on the job right now. Some laziness is possible now, as you tend to associate pleasure with work! Perhaps you are socializing more than usual on the job. You have good team spirit during this cycle, and you are more tactful and obliging with your co-workers. You are less inclined to fall in love for the sake of love itself during this cycle. Your tendency is to consider whether it is clever to do so! You're most successful doing tasks that involve cooperation and team harmony. You could find that your talents or skills are especially appreciated. Romantic and social activities may revolve around your working environment.

Mars continues to move through your fourth house until the 27, energizing your domestic life and relationships with family. This might express itself as more activity on the home front. You could literally apply your energy to working around the house, for example. Or, you might find that there is a lot of hustle and bustle in your home. Energized interaction with family is also very possible now, and this can be positive or negative, depending on how the energy is handled! You are slightly more defensive and certainly more protective than usual during this period. You might engage in arguments with, or on behalf of, those closest to you.

Mars animates your solar fifth house from the 27. This is a very self-expressive time when you have lots of energy, but not necessarily self-discipline to match. You have more energy at your disposal to express yourself creatively, through activities with children, romantic activities, hobbies, or sports. Your love life may step up a notch, and this could be an especially passionate time. You tend to put more energy into play and pleasure! Be careful not to burn the candle at both ends. Also, watch out for a tendency to want to gamble. You are more playful than usual, and especially magnetic.

Highlights:

September 4 A Full Moon occurs today in Pisces in your solar twelfth house. Circumstances are such that you have an overwhelming need to be alone. You've been busy with all sorts of everyday activities, deeply involved in your work and routines. It's time to balance your life with some down time—otherwise, you simply don't feel whole. Issues come to light that originate from deep within. It's an excellent time to get in touch with what's been brewing beneath the surface. A secret may be revealed.

September 5-6 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

September 6-8 Mercury is stationary retrograde now, and will remain retrograde until September 29th--a cycle during which rethinking matters is the name of the game. When Mercury is stationary, as it is now, it's especially important to prepare for possible breakdowns in communication. Back up your computer, double-check your paperwork, and remember that you may not have all the necessary information to make big decisions for the time being. Avoid signing contracts or deals, as they may not work out as you expected, or they might need revision later.

September 7-8 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

September 14-15 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

September 18 A New Moon in Virgo in your solar seventh house affects you until the next New Moon on October 18th. Negotiations and diplomacy are highlighted during this period, as it is a favorable time to begin new relationships or to re-define existing ones. Issues of sharing and partnership come to the fore. Increased awareness of the need for someone significant to lean on or to rely on is often associated with this position. Working on, or resolving to work on, relationships that are mutually supportive is a good idea at this time. If you find yourself sensitive to the feeling of lacking support from partners, this may be a good time to ask yourself how companionable you are, and work on developing yourself in this area of life. You might just find that this is a period when you are at your most gracious. It is also a good time to make contacts and to make something public.

September 18-19 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

September 25-26 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

September 28-30 Mercury stations and turns direct on September 29th. Holding off on important discussions, interviews, or contracts is probably wise right now, as thinking is foggy and misunderstandings are likely. As Mercury moves forward and regains speed over the next couple of weeks, we can more easily get new projects off the ground.

Pisces (Born March 12 to 20)
AND Pisces Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Pisces:

August 2009 Pisces Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
 

August

 

Overview.

Until the 12th, the Sun illuminates your romance and pleasure sector. This is the time of year when you are ready to perform and to express yourself creatively. This is a very playful cycle, when you are inspired creatively and emotionally. After a period of self-protectiveness, you are now more spontaneous and more willing to take risks. You take more pride than usual in your creations, your love affairs, your children, and your hobbies. Pleasure and amusement play an important role in your search for freedom of self-expression now. Show off your best colors now. You want others to take notice, and you are more sensitive to whether others appreciate you. More than any time of the year, this is the cycle in which you focus on having fun, enjoying romance, and expressing yourself creatively. Your hobbies, leisure time, moments spent with children, gaming time, and so forth, all come into focus at this time of year. This is a cycle in which you find joy in expressing who you are--when your "inner child" comes out to play. This is a time when you are more flirtatious than usual, and when you might take a few risks in life--not only gambling with games but with life itself. You might be a bit of a showman at this time. You are likely feeling good in general, and you tend to spread the joy.

The Sun illuminates your sixth house from the 12. During this cycle, you take more pride in the work you do and in your health routines than any other time of the year. You are sorting through the experiences of the last several months, separating the worthwhile from the worthless. This is a good time to build your skills, to get organized, and to attend to your health and wellbeing. It’s a great time to make improvements to your regular routines. Your self-esteem and your ego are tied up in the work you do and in the services you give. Details are more important to you now. It's time to bring order to your life by focusing on the little things that make up the whole. This cycle presents an opportunity to get rid of what doesn't work in your life, while also discovering what does. You could seek distinction and strive towards perfection in your work. Efficiency should be your goal now. Your physical health, as well as the relationship between your body and your mind, are in focus.

Life might seem a little chaotic in August, dear Pisces, as you feel pulled in many directions. However, if you take extra time for relaxation and reflection, which the cosmos fairly forces you to do from the 1-8, you will find the energy to balance it all. It might seem counterintuitive to take extra time for repose when you’re in demand, but you’ll be far more effective if you do. Getting organized and sorting out mundane affairs is necessary, while expressing your creativity and romantic impulses are strong. A serious conversation with a partner might figure around the 17th.

Last month, two eclipses occurred, and this month, there is one more. (Usually eclipses occur in sets of two, but this time around we have three). A Lunar Eclipse occurs on the 5th at approximately 14 degrees Aquarius. The effects of eclipses stay with us for as long as six months, and they reveal main areas of focus for this half-year period. A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before an eclipse. This is because new information that could change our perspective often is revealed in the week after the eclipse. Therefore, major decision-making is best avoided from July 30th-August 6th.

The Lunar Eclipse on the 5th stimulates your solar twelfth house. Surprises surrounding the compassionate care and attention you give others, as well as the work and service you render, may be in store. Something that has been "in hiding" or brewing under the surface of things comes to light, or there is a significant fruition or culmination. Your sectors of self-undoing, privacy, and dreams is involved. This could manifest, for example, as a situation that tests your faith and compassion, a culmination or fruition of a service you render, an event that calls on your urge for privacy and reflection, and other such possibilities. Finding a balance between practical concerns and spiritual or non-material matters is what this Lunar Eclipse is about for you.

Venus continues to transit your solar fourth house until the 18. Domestic relationships and the home environment tend to be harmonious and peaceful during this cycle. You may have a desire to decorate your home with good taste and quality. An inner sense of peace and security prevails. Your affections are strong but you don't wear your heart on your sleeve just now, preferring quiet moments with loved ones.

Venus graces your solar fifth house from the 18. Your popularity is on an upward trend during this cycle as others find you especially attractive and friendly. You may have the desire to dress well and in good taste. There is strength in your feelings of love and the power of attraction, which may open the door to new romantic relationships. Yet, you are not aggressive in your approach to love. Instead, you attract more if you allow yourself to be pursued during this cycle. Conditions are highlighted in connection with young people, and quite possibly a female child--a stronger bond could be formed during this period. You are feeling inspired creatively and romantically and you express your loving feelings quite openly now. Creative self-expression of any kind is favored at this time. You will also thoroughly enjoy artistic, musical, or cultural events and activities, especially in the company of a loved one. At this time, you instinctively know how to place yourself in the best light in order to make a good impression on others. Any love affair begun now will be characterized by good cheer, having fun, and a fair share of emotional drama!

Mercury continues to transit your work and health sector until the 16. Your approach to work during this cycle is pleasant, happy, and logical for the most part, unless you allow worry or scattered energy to enter the picture. You might also enjoy analyzing different health or nutrition programs. You are inclined to want to learn new work skills, or to improve your skills and output in terms of work. There is likely to be more activity, movement, contact, and communications with co-workers now. You tend to take more interest in organizing your working environment--and this is an excellent time to do so, as you are especially objective and intelligent when it comes to getting a handle on your daily affairs and all of the "little things" that contribute to a feeling of efficiency and competency. Watch, however, for tension or idle chit-chat interfering with your work output this month.

Mercury enlivens your partnership sector from the 16. During this time, the desire to bounce ideas off a partner or close friend is very strong. Communication becomes especially important to you. You feel attracted to intelligent people with whom you can communicate well and exchange ideas during this cycle. You know how to relate to others and you do it in a natural and warm manner. You will seek chatty and restless friends who stimulate your curiosity and mental abilities. You may attract a younger person into your life.

Mars continues to energize your solar third house until the 10. Your communication style tends to be sharper, more direct and to the point, and it may be hard for you to bite your tongue when you see something that is amiss in your environment! As long as you direct these energies toward challenging mental tasks or work and avoid rushing and pushing your way through traffic, or provoking arguments over trifles, this position can be highly stimulating (instead of stressful).

Mars energizes your solar fourth house from the 10, energizing your domestic life and relationships with family. This might express itself as more activity on the home front. You could literally apply your energy to working around the house, for example. Or, you might find that there is a lot of hustle and bustle in your home. Energized interaction with family is also very possible now, and this can be positive or negative, depending on how the energy is handled! You are slightly more defensive and certainly more protective than usual during this period. You might engage in arguments with, or on behalf of, those closest to you.

Highlights:

August 1-2 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

August 5 A Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurs today in Aquarius in your solar twelfth house. Circumstances are such that you have an overwhelming need to be alone. You've been busy with all sorts of everyday activities, deeply involved in your work and routines. It's time to balance your life with some down time—otherwise, you simply don't feel whole. Issues come to light that originate from deep within. It's an excellent time to get in touch with what's been brewing beneath the surface. A secret may be revealed.

August 9-10 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.

August 11-12 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.

August 18-19 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

August 20 A New Moon in Leo in your solar sixth house affects you until the next New Moon on September 18th. The New Moon in the sixth house heralds a time when new diet regimes, healthy routines, and satisfying work schedules can be successfully initiated. It is a time of taking care of business, handling details, and increasing your efficiency by re-organizing or simply by working enthusiastically at tasks that help you get caught up in your work. It is also a good time for analysis of any sort, as critical thinking is now at its peak. This period is marked by a desire to sort things out, but also to be useful. 

August 22-23 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

August 25-27 Venus, Mercury, and Mars are changing signs, Venus is highlighting the recent Solar Eclipse degree and joining with the South Node of the Moon, Mercury squares Pluto, and Mars opposes Pluto. These influences all occurring at once can point to troubles from the past resurfacing, as well as faulty, hasty, or haughty decision making for all signs. Keep a cool head if you can.

August 29-30 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.
