LuvScopes ~ February 5 to 7, 2010

Take a deep breath in. Exhale ever so slowly. *ahhh* There it is ... that proverbial light at the end of the tunnel. Although lingering, the major strain of Saturn and Pluto is behind us (for a few months). This weekend, Jupiter (ideals) swoops in to the rescue, giving us a more optimistic outlook on whatever difficulties the past few days/weeks may have brought. His efforts are supported by Mercury (communication), who aligns harmoniously with Uranus (surprises), and Venus (love), who blends energies with Chiron (healing) and Neptune (hope).

The Scorpio-Moon (heart) gets in a pickle with the Sun early Friday evening, starts off the weekend a little rocky. Thankfully, Jupiter's alignment with Saturn and Pluto lessens the sting of the scorpion, as we are made aware that there are solutions and we are in control to make reparations.

Saturday from a little before noon until early evening the Scorpio-Moon is void of course and in quiet reflection. Venus blending energies with Chiron and Neptune allow for forgiveness, release, moving on and finding our zen. Though our hearts finds calm, our minds are restless – planning, analyzing, brainstorming. With the help of Mercury and Uranus, we may just arrive at brilliant, cleverly charming ways to whisper sweet nothings in our beloved's ears. The Moon enters Sagittarius around 7p EST, offering up an evening of fun and possibly some surprises with Uranus still in play. Love and romance are still dreamy and imaginative with Venus and Neptune linking up. There is such a thing as having too much fun or at least overdoing things, especially with Jupiter, who does everything grand, and Pluto, who tends to get obsessive, happily throwing back a few together.

Sleep in on Sunday to get past the Moon-Mars conflict early in the morning which may just be an unpleasant awakening to the previous night's festivities. As for the rest of the afternoon, the Sagittarius-Moon is quiet until Monday morning.

Aries-Sun or Rising ~ With four planets in your uber social house, friendly get togethers or a night out on the town with girl/guy friends may be in store you. Just make sure to take advantage of the Moon in your house of sex early in the weekend. You wouldn't want to miss out on that!

Taurus-Sun or Rising ~ If work obligations or other commitments are a priority this weekend, schedule them for Sunday, if possible. The Moon lights up your relationships house and by Saturday night, the Moon slips into your house of sex so, wine and dine the object of your affection and have a great weekend.

Gemini-Sun or Rising ~ Intense but dreamy talks of future plans give way to stimulating the mind, heart and body. By the time Saturday night rolls around, you may have had a healthy fill of fun between the sheet ;-)

Cancer-Sun or Rising ~ Speak up or get over it and definitely don't take “it” out on your sweetie. He/she is an ally in this scenario. Consider spending the first part of the weekend having a lovely time with your honey and making up with him/her, especially if you've been naughty recently. Sunday may require you to tend to obligations, help out others. So, get your couple time in early on.

Leo-Sun or Rising ~ Get family obligations Friday or Saturday during the day. Then, spend a fun Saturday night with your sweetheart, indoors or out. Love is in the air, despite Mars still moving slowly in your sign. The Moon cozies up in your house of love while Jupiter gets settled in your house of sex. Make the most of the weekend!

Virgo-Sun or Rising ~ Whether you choose for this to be a light or heavy weekend, Jupiter now gives a promising opportunity to approach and deal with existing (perhaps unmentioned) relationship issues at their core. Mercury and Uranus gives the weekend an unpredictable, perhaps unconventional, but pleasurable twist.

Libra-Sun or Rising ~ With moods lifting and the air less suffocating, a little shopping and/or pampering may be the preferred way to celebrate. Grab something nice and thoughtful for your honey, too, especially if he/she has been a saint lately. Make sure to let him/her know how you feel with generous displays of affection ;)

Scorpio-Sun or Rising ~ Standing a little taller? A little sprite in your step? The Moon in your sign on Friday starts off your weekend with a little bit of confidence. Take charge this weekend and surprise your honey with a little sumthin', sumthin' ;-) Family may require some of your time; set that up for Sunday.

Sagittarius-Sun or Rising ~ Lay low and snuggle with your honey Friday for a nice, little R&R from the week's happenings. Get out with some pals, along with your love, on Saturday night and celebrate the Moon in your sign! Save Sunday for communication, clearing the air or financial planning.

Capricorn-Sun or Rising ~ Opt to stay in with your sweetheart. Friends or a friend may try your patience or require more of you than you are willing to give right now. Spend the energy and money on the things/people you value in life. Even if it's not your style, be generous with affection this weekend.

Aquarius-Sun or Rising ~ Escape might be tempting but that only delays the inevitable. The sky is kinder and gentler this weekend. Face problems head on. Approach situations with light and love as your motivation. Communicate with your loved one. You may be surprised to find out that he/she is also ready to get past this.

Pisces-Sun or Rising ~ The sky is bright, offering plenty of potential for the weekend and life, in general. Find quiet moments with your sweetheart this weekend. Re-commit to love and your relationship by the simple act of completely being present in each others' arms. Where words fail, affection won't.

LuvScopes ~ January 29 to 31, 2010

The tension growing between retrograde-Saturn and Pluto that we inherited from 2009 perfects again this Sunday, just a day after the Full Moon in Leo on Saturday (Friday for some). Also hovering in the background this weekend is the lingering but weakening Aquarius-Sun's opposition with retrograde-Mars in Leo and the growing frustration between Jupiter, now in Pisces, and Saturn.

Friday begins with the waxing Moon donning the brave and willful personality of Leo, followed by the Sun and Mars at odds but seeking harmony. What we want/plan/wish for may not actually be reflected by the decisions we make or actions we take. As we become aware of it, we attempt to find the balance or make the necessary compromises to meet our immediate goals.

At 1:18 a.m. EST on Saturday (10:18 p.m. PST Friday), the Leo-Moon becomes full, blends energies with Mars while opposing both the Sun and Venus, shining light upon the delicate balance between our emotional nature (Moon) and conscious will (Sun) and how that reflects upon our motivations (Mars) and relationships (Venus). Much later in the evening, the Moon opposes Chiron then Neptune before becoming void of course, allowing us to heal or make amends and find some hope.

Sunday morning, the Moon enters Virgo then proceeds to oppose Jupiter and trine Pluto by the afternoon, just before the culmination of Saturn and Pluto square. This conflict between Saturn and Pluto revisits their first meeting last November. Events or issues resurfacing now may be linked or reminiscent of last fall.

Aries-Sun or Rising ~The Full Moon in your house of love, pleasure and children make this an ideal weekend for spending time with your loved ones despite the pressure from Saturn and Pluto regarding obligations. Let your partner know how his/her presence in your life completes you. Lose yourself in a little romance this week, even in the midst of tension in the air. Love conquers all, right?

Taurus-Sun or Rising ~ Sometimes reflecting upon where you've been helps clarify the path to where you're going. The Triple Conjunction in your career and goals house last year brought changes within your work situation and/or personal goals. Perhaps you've merely been going with the flow, reacting to the events unfolding. Take the time this weekend to think about your goals because it's time you take back control. Talk it over with your significant other. After all, he/she is a part of this future you envision!

Gemini-Sun or Rising ~ Trouble in paradise? Saturn, in your house of love, bickers with Pluto. The Full Moon in your house of communication urges you to have a heart to heart with the object of your affection. Give each other space afterward, if necessary. Emotional responses are compromised by the tension in the heavens. Jupiter's growing link to Saturn may lighten things up in the following days ahead, if not before the weekend's out.

Cancer-Sun or Rising ~ Saturn and Pluto at odds may result in the home being a battlefield. Communicate early on in the weekend and dispel any misconceptions or clarify misunderstandings. More than anything, avoid bringing up issues in the past that's already been dealt with. The Full Moon in one of your money houses suggests that the bone of contention may be related to finances.

Leo-Sun or Rising ~ Pressure at work may be filling your mind with concern. Or perhaps there are other obligations causing stress or health issues you need to deal with. This full moon in your sign encourages you to let your partner in on what you may be going through. That's what relationships are for. Jupiter in your house of sex promises some lovely moments for the weekend.

Virgo-Sun or Rising ~ The Full Moon cozying up with Mars in your house of rest suggests some quiet moments snuggled with your honey may be in store for you this weekend. Just as well since Saturn and Pluto may be putting a strain on money. Get a little creative. Romance can be had anywhere, even in the comfort of home.

Libra-Sun or Rising ~ Again, you're faced with obligations to family or others this weekend. Saturn in your sign while fighting with Pluto challenges you now to renew how you handle relationships, especially that which you have with the self. Put your foot down. Make yourself a priority this weekend. Insist upon quality time with your significant other and spend it doing something of your own choosing.

Scorpio-Sun or Rising ~ Work may be demanding more of your time as the Full Moon illuminates your career house. Yield to Jupiter this weekend for some relief. He is in your house of love and romance. He's more than capable of quieting your mind and decreasing work-related concerns. Light some candles. Turn on some mood music. Enjoy a little somethin' somethin' with your honey.

Sagittarius-Sun or Rising ~ Yield to your ruler, Jupiter, this weekend. He is happily cruising through the part of your chart ruling home and family. Saturn and Pluto may be stirring up trouble with a friend or amongst your friends. Stay in with your honey or go for a little weekend getaway, as suggested by the Full Moon in your house of travels.

Capricorn-Sun or Rising ~ Your mind may be busy with work-related thoughts or plans for the future as Pluto, in your sign, is challenged by Saturn who is in your career house. The Full Moon in your house of sex has other ideas, however ;-)

Aquarius-Sun or Rising ~ The Full Moon in your opposite sign illuminates your relationships urging you to make time for your honey this weekend. This Saturn-Pluto strain may cause you to over think a situation. Slap yourself back to reality and recognize that you're putting more energy into something that may or may not be. If this concerns your love, then communicate with him/her. Otherwise, leave it be. Expend energy on your loved one instead.

Pisces-Sun or Rising ~ Lean on Jupiter in Pisces all weekend to help lighten the intensity in the sky. Pluto is in your friendships house and is in conflict with Saturn. Drama ensues with a friend or amongst your friends. Or perhaps, a friend gets bumped up to a "friend with benefits"... Coupled up Pisceans, the planet of love in your house of rest and relaxation hints at quiet, loving moments with your sweetie.

LuvScopes ~ January 22 to 24, 2010

A retrograde-Saturn dominates the weekend. Both Venus and the Sun happily align with Saturn, but Saturn is afflicted as he and Pluto continue to inflict pain upon each other. The Aries-Moon is void of course Friday afternoon through the evening. She enters the grounded sign of Taurus just a little bit before midnight, where she stays all weekend; and upon arrival, quickly harmonizes with Jupiter, who is happy to carry away whatever baggage we may have been carrying from the day or the week.

We wake Saturday morning to the Moon linking up with Pluto and Saturn, establishing a serious tone for the day. Before noon, the tension between the Moon and Venus becomes apparent, and our stubbornness may get the better of us. A chance for conversation and repairing strained relationships is offered before the evening begins with the Moon's friendly link to Mercury who is “as a matter of fact” in Capricorn. But these discussions, even with the best of intentions, may only offer a temporary truce. The Moon and Mars, who is still retrograde in Leo, get in a tiff before the night is over.

We take refuge in getting a reprieve on Sunday when the Moon is quiet all day. Early evening, however, even within the comfort of Taurean stability, the Moon's emotions are stirred by a link to Uranus. The evening and weekend crescendos with the Moon provoking Chiron and Neptune, who rehash the events of the past two nights and decide that agreeing to disagree might be the best solution. The quiet of the Moon's void of course at 10 p.m. is a welcome end to the weekend. Monday morning, the Moon enters friendly and social Gemini.

Aries-Sun or Rising ~ Picking a fight just for the sake of having one or proving a point? Hotheadedness won't get you anywhere but angrier and more frustrated. Saturn in your opposite sign and retrograde urges you to put yourself in another's shoes and communicate. You can still be angry, but express that anger in a way that produces solutions. It'll be a smoother weekend and your partner may finally get the sense that you “get” him/her.

Taurus-Sun or Rising ~ The Moon in your sign all weekend is somehow comforting. There may be some obligations you've committed to that keep you busy. Just don't forget to care for your self as well. If home is a battleground on Saturday, Jupiter is in your friendships house now so, grab some friends and enjoy an evening of lighthearted fun. Find some time on Sunday to "make up" with your honey.

Gemini-Sun or Rising ~ With the Taurus-Moon in your house of repose, you may just be fine sitting this one out. You're surprisingly calmed by some intuitive knowledge that all this drama is simply passing and fueling it would just be a waste of your precious energy. Biding your time and striking with logic and reason at a more opportune time is the preferred approach. If the drama is not with your honey, then why not spend your precious energy on him/her instead ;)

Cancer-Sun or Rising ~ The conflict between Saturn and Pluto may extend to your home and relationships. If you must address it this weekend, then discuss the root of the problem and not the symptom that takes its form now. The Moon is stable in Taurus and grounds your Cancerian sensitivities which is ideal for communication. The same Taurus-Moon also cruises through your friendships house so, leaning on friends for support or escape might be a helpful alternative. With the Sun and Venus cruising through your house of sex, make up with your honey before the weekend is out.

Leo-Sun or Rising ~ You are usually generous of your time and self...willing to help out another. This weekend, however, don't be guilted in to obligations that you were coerced into to begin with. With Mars still retrograde in your sign, your roar might have less bravado in it, but you are still the lion, king of the jungle :) Don't be a doormat. Jupiter is now cruising through your house of sex until early June. So, get yourself some this weekend.

Virgo-Sun or Rising ~ Feeling like packing your bags and escaping for some R&R this weekend? The Moon in your travel house is all for it. If the likelihood of a weekend getaway is nil, then put worries away for the weekend and count your blessings, starting with your partner. Jupiter in your opposite sign urges you to recognize your loved one and not take him/her for granted.

Libra-Sun or Rising ~ Oh, that pesky Saturn in your sign is being attacked by Pluto who has himself in your fourth house of home and family...Oi! One can only hope this family drama fizzles out soon enough. Until then, however, the Taurus-Moon cruises through your house of sex this weekend. Hopefully, the altercation is not with your beloved. It's a fitting weekend to find solace in his/her embrace.

Scorpio-Sun or Rising ~ Communication is key this weekend with the house of your subconscious and house of thought being assaulted by the disagreement between Saturn and Pluto. The Moon in your opposite sign reminds you that your partner is truly your partner in every sense. So, if you're feeling overwhelmed, find the words to what fills your mind and talk them over with your sweetie over dinner & wine, pizza & beer, or ice cream.

Sagittarius-Sun or Rising ~ In your haste to tie up loose ends and/or helping out others, don't neglect your own needs/health. Jupiter in your fourth house of home and family reminds you that home is where heart is. Spend some quiet moments with your beloved this weekend. Let the heavens, Saturn, Pluto, and the like, strike where they may. In the arms of your sweetie, you're pretty untouchable :)

Capricorn-Sun or Rising ~ Your ruler, Saturn, under attack by Pluto who is in your sign, may cause for some introspection this weekend. This could be a frustrating time, especially if what you're enlightened with is not an acceptable picture for (of) you. With the Moon in your house of love and children, just make sure you don't take out any frustrations on your loved ones. Instead, yield to the Taurus-Moon's urging to find the more pleasurable things in life and enjoy them with your sweetheart/loved ones.

Aquarius-Sun or Rising ~ The Taurus-Moon in your house of home and hearth plus two planets still in your house of rest and relaxation may leave you feeling tired of the week's events. A quiet weekend with your love might be the preferred activity for the weekend. Jupiter in your money house might give you the urge to splurge. If so, just make sure to pick something up for sweetheart, as well.

Pisces-Sun or Rising ~ Thank the heavens, Jupiter is in your sign now and hopefully, easing the celestial blows this weekend. With the Moon in your house of communication, it's best to find a voice for your thoughts and remember, communication is a two-way street. Find some time to celebrate the little things with your loved one this weekend. Enough little things together count as one big thing.

LuvScopes ~ January 15 to 17, 2010

The Capricorn-Solar Eclipse occurring in the wee hours of Friday morning kicks off the weekend, followed by Mercury's direction change at noon and then, the Moon's entrance to Aquarius, where she remains all weekend. Sunday night, Jupiter enters Pisces and bids farewell to the weekend. Adding to the flavor of the weekend are Saturn and Pluto (yes, you read it correctly) still hovering and meddling, while also dragging a reluctant Mercury into their disagreement. Elsewhere but nearby, Venus and the Sun share enjoyable moments as they spend their last few days in Capricorn.

Friday's eclipsed New Moon charges us up for a new cycle, renewing our objectives and making plans to achieve them within the next six months. Mercury supports this directive as he begins to move at his normal, speedy pace. The Moon, right at Mercury's heels, slides into friendly, forward-thinking Aquarius. By evening, the Moon and Saturn are happily aligned for a night of friendly banter. Saturday is thankfully quieter, allowing us time to reflect upon all that's transpired within the past 24 hours. Retrograde-Mars is a free agent all weekend, except for the few hours Saturday evening when the Aquarius-Moon pokes at him and stirs a little trouble. Early Sunday afternoon, the Moon chills with Chiron and Neptune before going void of course from mid-afternoon and throughout evening, giving us the license to get some much needed downtime before taking on a new work week. Go ahead and give in … maybe if you're quiet enough, you'll feel the shift when Jupiter moves into Pisces.

Aries-Sun or Rising ~ The future is bright. You know it … deep down. You just can't seem to shake off a nagging feeling of something awry but you can't quite pinpoint exactly what. Well, let Jupiter help. He'll be moving into your subconscious house soon enough and can help you unlock whatever mysteries are hidden from you. But before you get started with delving into your psyche, it's the weekend and the Moon is happily cruising through your friendships house. It's time to grab your sweetie, along with some friends, to celebrate … beginnings!

Taurus-Sun or Rising ~ The Aquarius-Moon in your goals and career house may have you thinking about future plans and/or working at the office over the weekend. If the latter, make sure to save Sunday for some time with your honey. Jupiter enters your friendships house so, maybe a celebration with friends will lift the spirits. If the former, then share what's on your mind with your partner over dinner, wine and candles.

Gemini-Sun or Rising ~ Is the fog lifting? The family drama dissipating? Mercury, your ruler, is finally beginning to move forward. Expect your Mercury-ruled houses (1st=self & 4th=family) to also breathe a sigh of relief. Grab your true love for a night that marks a beginning of sorts. There is much to celebrate! Jupiter enters your career house with promises of opportunities! The Solar Eclipse illuminates one of your money houses, signaling a renewal within money matters while, simultaneously, stimulating your sexuality...hmm...guess you'll be getting busy again this weekend.

Cancer-Sun or Rising ~ A Solar Eclipse in your relationships house...oh the possibilities for the months to come. Single Cancerians, you may very well get coupled up in the near future. Happily involved Cancerians should grab their sweetheart and celebrate such an auspicious beginning to the new year – the first new moon as solar eclipse and in your partnerships house. Sad, broken-hearted Cancers may just find the upcoming months healing and by summertime, your heart will be ready to love again :)

Leo-Sun or Rising ~ The Aquarius-Moon in your relationships house makes this an ideal weekend for some quality time with your loved one. But Friday's Solar Eclipse in your house of work may have you working late Friday night. Saturday night might get a little sticky with the Moon picking a fight with Mars, still retrograde, in your sign. If Friday night won't work, perhaps a quieter evening on Sunday night might work best. The Moon is void of course, and Jupiter slips into the romantic, dreamy sign of Pisces.

Virgo-Sun or Rising ~ Finally feeling like yourself again? Your ruler, Mercury, starts moving direct this weekend. Trouble might not be far behind while he gets his bearings. Nothing that can't be solved though, especially with Jupiter gracing your relationships house with his presence. Happy, happy, joy, joy! Single Virgos, take advantage of Jupiter in Pisces and keep a look out for your Mr. or Ms. Right (Now). Coupled Virgos, Jupiter in Pisces helps lighten the effects of Saturn in Libra, as well as Saturn and Pluto's growing tense alignment. Yey!

Libra-Sun or Rising ~ If family matters have been extra difficult these past weeks, this Solar Eclipse will surely address them. With the Aquarius-Moon in your fifth house, you may be able to lean on your adult children or true love for support. If the drama involves your children or spouse/love, then it is a more workable situation, especially with Mercury now beginning to move direct. Just keep the lines of communications open and speak from the heart.

Scorpio-Sun or Rising ~ The dazed and confused days are all but over. Mercury begins moving direct Friday; although, he may need the weekend to get re-acclimated back to his normal speed. The Solar Eclipse illuminated your house of thought and communication. Clarity will soon follow. The real celebration, however, is for Jupiter's move into your house of love...ahhh. Single Scorps, keep your eyes peeled and Scorpy senses on guard. You may just snag your dream guy/girl. Happily married or attached Scorps, romance is in the air. Be reminded of your earlier days/years as a couple. Celebrate how your love has lasted and continue to grow stronger :)

Sagittarius-Sun or Rising ~ Grab your honey and celebrate this Solar Eclipse that is stimulating your income house, just as Mercury also begins moving forward and lifts whatever obstacles may have been affecting your finances these past weeks. Jupiter's move into your home and family life brings harmonious relations and good times ahead.

Capricorn-Sun or Rising ~ Is that a twinkle in your eye? It must be the eclipsed new moon in your sign giving you that dose of optimism, even if surrounded by a sea of reality. Savor this weekend with your true love, as Venus and the Sun will leave your sign next week. Celebrations are in order though - Jupiter moving into your house of thought to expand your mind. Those born within 1 day of January 15 may be celebrating their Solar Return with the Solar Eclipse's energies and opening up opportunities for an exceptional year!

Aquarius-Sun or Rising ~ The Moon in your sign is comforting, especially since the Solar Eclipse lit up your subconscious house. A little afraid what you'll find hidden in there within these months? Well, no need to dwell on that just yet. It's the weekend. Jupiter will leave your sign, yes, but he moves into your house of income. This might just be the year you finally get compensated for what you're worth. That's a cause for celebration with your loved one, isn't it?

Pisces-Sun or Rising ~ Woo hoo! Jupiter enters your sign and stays until early June. Bring out the bubbly and the good china. The Solar Eclipse lit up your friendships house and urges you to invite friends and frenemies, alike, for this shindig. But maybe the Aquarius-Moon in your house of rest have other plans. Perhaps, a quieter, more romantic evening with your special someone is the way to celebrate this momentous occasion. Either way, bring out the bubbly and give a toast to Jupiter!

LuvScopes ~ January 8 to 10, 2010

Passions run high with the weekend's Scorpio-Moon heating up Venus and the Sun's hookup. With intuition and guile as her guide to unleash the Capricorn sensuality, the four planets in cool, calm, collected Capricorn are no match for the Scorpion's intensity, ardor and resolve. No fleeting affairs this weekend, however. The link between Saturn and Pluto, lingering in the background, demands for substance. So, if all you want is a little lighthearted no-strings fun, then you'd better make that clear. Lest you gain your very own stalker ;-) Committed coupling is the name of the game. It's a great weekend for romance, whether it's heating up a blossoming love, rekindling flames of longtime lovers or making the first move with the object of one's affection. Do watch out for Mercury, who is still retrograde. If words fail, express yourself with gestures/actions rooted in love or very deep like.

Friday, Venus may get a little demanding with Mars, especially with the Sun's beams giving her extra confidence. With Mars still retrograde in the playful sign of Leo, he may just give in and let Venus have her way … with him. On Saturday and Sunday, Venus and the Sun continue their slow dance as they get close enough for an extended sensuous embrace, which on Monday, will turn into an impassioned kiss. Sleep in and remain cuddled in the arms of your love on Sunday. The Scorpio-Moon is void of course in the morning and will enter fun-loving Sagittarius in the afternoon. Perhaps another round before getting up and starting the day?

Aries-Sun or Rising ~ The Moon in your house of sex for most of the weekend urges you to give obligations and life's stresses a break this weekend. Give in to the Moon's wishes and enjoy some carnal acts. They won't fix problems or make worries go away, but it is considered exercise, and everyone knows that exercise help with managing stress levels. It's true. Google it.

Taurus-Sun or Rising ~ It's all about love and commitment this weekend, as the Moon occupies your relationships house. For new loves, “commitment” doesn't have to overwhelm. Just be led by the heart. No thoughts required. For seasoned love affairs, remembrance of all the little moments that count which brings you both here, now. A weekend getaway might be the ticket for some quality couple time.

Gemini-Sun or Rising ~ Four planets remain in your house of sex and now this lascivious Scorpio-Moon is whispering sweet nothings in their ears. Don't fight it. Put work and responsibilities aside, you're only accountable for having some extra fun between the sheets this weekend. Live in the present, right? It's all the rage.

Cancer-Sun or Rising ~ The Moon in your house of love coupled with four planets in your relationships house make it quite clear that there is some fun and romance to be had this weekend. If Mars retrograde in your income house still has a hold on money matters, there's no need to leave to the home. Romance can be had anywhere! Tunes, lighting, your sweetie …

Leo-Sun or Rising ~ If the early part of the weekend unavoidably demands your attention elsewhere, then so be it. Small gestures can give big shows of affection, however. So, if you can't hang with your honey, perhaps there is something small and matters a lot that your sweetie might enjoy...a text of a joke/memory you two share, her favorite chocolate, his fave dessert, maybe a few uninterrupted hours with the X-box :) The Moon's entrance in Sagittarius on Sunday illuminates your house of love so, make some time for your beloved by then.

Virgo-Sun or Rising ~ A bustling house of love makes for a fun weekend with your lovely better half. Just kidding. We both know you're the perfect one in the relationship :) With your ruler, Mercury, still restricted from moving around, make allowances for miscommunication or delays. Try not to overthink situations. Sometimes there's nothing to analyze so, lighten up. Go with the flow. There are good times to be had and great memories to be made.

Libra-Sun or Rising ~ Feeling like doing/getting something special for your sweetie? You're always so accommodating. If Saturn is holding you back, no worries. Your honey is quite aware of where things stand with him/her, life, you. I'm sure a little overt, sexy come hither to get temperatures rising reinforces or solidifies the bond you share. Whether love connections are new, burgeoning or long standing, enjoy the intensity of the Scorpio-Moon even if the deep waters of Scorpio may not be familiar with your typical airy self.

Scorpio-Sun or Rising ~ It's a lunar return for you this weekend. Happenings/major themes of this weekend may be reflected upon throughout the next few weeks so make it a good one. No trepidation this weekend. The Moon is in your sign. Show a little moxy. Strut your stuff and get yourself a little sumthin' sumthin' ;-) With a busy 3rd house, you'll be tempted to analyze. Don't give in. No over thinking. Just doing. Moxy, remember?

Sagittarius-Sun or Rising ~ The Moon in your house of rest makes this a weekend for staying in with your sweetie for some indoor fun *wink, wink* With much activity in your money house, you may be feeling like a little shopping spree. Just keep in mind that Mercury is still retrograde in this house so, there may be unknown factors that have yet to be revealed regarding finances. If you do make some purchases, make sure to include a nice, little something to surprise your sweetheart with.

Capricorn-Sun or Rising ~ With all these planets in your sign and two of them canoodling with each other plus the Moon in your house of friendships make you want to throw caution in the wind. Go ahead and grab some of your best pals. Have them join you and your gal/guy out on the town. It should be great fun!

Aquarius-Sun or Rising ~ No worries if you're not feeling up to being your usual social self. It's understandable with Mars still retrograde in your opposite sign plus all this activity in your house of rest and relaxation. A little romantic weekend at home with your sweetheart may just be the perfect way to end the week. Put away worries and concern. Instead, be comforted in the arms of your beloved.

Pisces-Sun or Rising ~ Whether it's your sweetie or a friend who made the huge faux-pas and offended you, there's room for making up this weekend as the Sun and Venus get up close and personal. Of course, the Scorpio-Moon might have to sting the offender/s before they're forgiven. But there's excitement in your house of friendships. So, get to making up already. Grab your honey, along with some friends, for a night of tomfoolery.

LuvScopes ~ January 1 to 3, 2010

Happy New Year! The new year begins right after an intense lunar eclipse that may have left us remembering or reflecting upon events/issues of six months ago – where/who we were, what our relationships situations were, how far we've come or maybe, how nothing has really changed in the way we had hoped/expected. Well, relationships go under the wringer this weekend. I wish it weren't so, with this being the first weekend of the new year.

With the majority of planets in earth (Capricorn) and fixed (Aquarius and Leo) signs, the weekend for love may be less about romance and more about commitment, especially with a growing Saturn and Pluto square lurking in the background. Saturn in Libra currently pours his concentration on what type of foundation our relationships are built on, while Pluto in Capricorn focuses on purging what's established but no longer serves its purpose. Their link with each other is challenging and stressful enough without the addition of Mercury and Mars frustrating each other and Venus getting serious with the Sun. With Mercury and Mars still retrograde, the weekend's issues/situations may recur around the end of the month when Saturn and Pluto perfect their link and Mercury passes through the same degree in Capricorn that he's in this weekend.

Friday evening begins with a void of course Cancer-Moon until 9:40 p.m. EST when the Moon enters the brave heart of Leo. All day and night on Saturday, the Leo-Moon (emotional core) is plagued with successive irritating links with Venus (love/relationships), the Sun (conscious will) and retrograde-Mercury (thinking/communicating). Sunday, the Leo-Moon may find some challenge in seeking harmony with the Triple Conjunction.

Aries-Sun or Rising ~ Allowing work or obligations outside of your intimate relationship to come between you and your love may have weighty repercussions that will continue to be a source of contention long after this weekend. If unavoidable, make sure to lay all cards on the table and arrive at a compromise early in the weekend to make up for whatever quality time with your sweetie may be lost.

Taurus-Sun or Rising ~ Work or family obligations may keep you from spending time with your love this weekend. Perhaps, dinner out with your honey on Saturday provides a welcome distraction from your obligations. A few hours of quality time might just be what helps balance the weekend.

Gemini-Sun or Rising ~ Escape or avoidance may be the preference for the weekend. Although you and your sweetie may be solid and celestial tensions are not directly affecting you both as a couple, the effects on each of you as individuals may have indirect strain on your relationship. Confrontations may be unavoidable with Mercury and Mars at odds. A solution or agreement may not be arrived at with both still retrograde. Be okay with that. Consider the possibility that everything between you and your honey are right where they should be. If that is not the case, understand that nothing needs to be decided upon right at this moment.

Cancer-Sun or Rising ~ Still reeling from the eclipse the day before? You might not actually feel its effects until a few weeks/months after. With a busy relationships house, make sure to spend some quality time with your partner this weekend. Watch out for Mercury and Mars, however. As they upset each other, it's easy to jump to conclusions or act hastily and for misunderstandings to occur.

Leo-Sun or Rising ~ Since Mars began in retrograde motion, you might have felt a little out of sorts. This weekend, you're feeling a bit more like your usual self with the Moon in your sign. Chiron and Neptune gets closer in your opposite sign, highlighting what may be “broken” in your relationship. No need to act upon or make any decisions now. You're merely being informed. Take the next few weeks to assess, re-assess, review and reflect upon what you truly need/want in a partner, as well as who you are within a relationship.

Virgo-Sun or Rising ~ Speak up. Be clear about what it is you'd like to convey, but leave the attitude and criticism out of the conversation. With Mercury and Mars bugging each other this weekend while both are in retrograde, be mindful of HOW what you are saying and what you are doing may be interpreted. Is what you are saying/doing a true reflection of your intended message/action?

Libra-Sun or Rising ~ Although family duties may require more of your time again this weekend, the Triple Conjunction remain active in your house of love and romance. Whatever little time you may be able to devote to your honey will prove to do a wealth of good for both of you.

Scorpio-Sun or Rising ~ Too much on your mind? Don't let it weigh you down. Another perspective may be what's needed. Share them with your partner. If what's got you troubled involves your loved one, communicate them in a digestible manner. Leave the penetrating, harsh words out the door. Saturn's transit in your subconscious house suggests clarity may be eluding you or something hidden may be uncovered. Be open and be enlightened.

Sagittarius-Sun or Rising ~ With Venus, the Sun and Mercury stimulating the part of your chart that craves stability and grounding, you may be more than comfortable staying in with your sweetie this weekend. Allow the recent eclipsed full moon, which occurred in your house of sex, to ignite or re-ignite passions. You see where I'm going with this … :-)

Capricorn-Sun or Rising ~ With the Moon and Mars in your house of sex, make sure to get some action this weekend. In case Mercury retrograde in your sign is causing you to question yourself more often than normal or waver upon issues you normally wouldn't think twice about, this weekend, be reminded of what are sure about, what you know without a doubt to be true. Start there.

Aquarius-Sun or Rising ~Feeling a little vulnerable? As if your “wounds” have opened up or insecurities in display? The Moon in your opposite sign suggests laying out all cards on the table. Perhaps, being “embraced” completely by your true love is what you seek. You would, after all, do the same – accept him/her, warts and all. Best to know where things truly stand now rather than later.

Pisces-Sun or Rising ~ Saturn hanging around your house of sex may have been restricting these past few months. The recent eclipsed full moon occurred in your house of love, however. Rekindle love and passion this weekend. The tension between Saturn and Pluto's lingering friction may prove to be expressed best through physical activity...between the sheets.

Merry Christmas, to friends and readers celebrating the holiday!

Some challenging energies in the air for this holiday weekend, triggering last month's strenuous Saturn-Pluto square, as both the Sun (lingering) and Venus (growing) combine with Pluto and antagonize Saturn. The cracks to the foundation of our relationships get magnified so much so that we can no longer ignore them or remain clueless of them. Harsh, I know. Thank goodness for Jupiter and Neptune lingering in the background, locked in an embrace, to give us hope and insight about our current situations. With Mercury making happy with Uranus also hovering behind the scenes, there is the element of surprise and/or mental awakening. Mercury retrogrades on Saturday so, be mindful of possible misunderstandings, miscommunication, and misinterpretation of intentions.

Friday evening's Aries-Moon trine a retrograde-Mars in addition to all the other energies may trigger tempers, impatience, and “jumping the gun” so watch out that the evening doesn't set the tone for the entire weekend.

Saturday may be “quieter” as the Aries-Moon is void of course (lower energy) from 6:45 a.m. to 3:27 p.m. EST, after which she enters the more stable but also more stubborn Taurus. “Quieter” is in quotes because Mercury retrogrades at 9:38 a.m. EST. Arian bravado still envelops our inner core through to the afternoon. We're still likely to voice out our thoughts and feelings passionately, impulsively.

The Taurus-Moon makes no connections to other celestial bodies on Sunday, which helps us let the celestial energies marinate while we also get acclimated to Mercury's change of directions.

But what might all this mean for you?

Aries-Sun or Rising ~ Put away any concerns. Give your beloved your undivided attention this weekend. Mars still retrograde in your house of love suggests staying in and enjoying each other's company is the way to go, especially Saturday night when the Moon is in comfort-seeking Taurus.

Taurus-Sun or Rising ~ Mercury retrogrades in your house of travels so be extra prepared for transportation delays and/or miscommunication. Friday night the Aries-Moon takes a break in your house of rest. Saturday and Sunday, enjoy the Moon in your sign. Any night this weekend is ideal for staying in for some intimate moments with your sweetheart.

Gemini-Sun or Rising ~ With four planets in your house of sex, busy in the bedroom, maybe? If single and without family obligations, Friday is a great night to grab some friends for a night on the town with the Aries-Moon cruising through your house of friendships.

Cancer-Sun or Rising ~ It's all about your significant other this weekend with four planets in your relationships house. Jupiter and Neptune are happily united in your house of sex so, you should be, too.

Leo-Sun or Rising ~ Jupiter and Neptune are blissfully lip-locked in your house of relationships. Perhaps this is a good time to remind your beloved of how much he/she truly matter in your life. Single Leos, your faith renewed that you'll soon be coupled.

Virgo-Sun or Rising ~ Friday, the Aries-Moon bring fire and passion to your house of sex which complements your house of love busy with four planets cruising there. Make allowances, however, for misunderstandings with your honey as Mercury retrogrades in your love house.

Libra-Sun or Rising ~ It's a weekend reserved for “others” as the Aries-Moon occupies your relationships house and four planets light up your house of family and home life. Get all the family obligations taken care of early in the weekend. The Moon slips in your house of sex on Saturday, which signals a perfect time for some action between the sheets.

Scorpio-Sun or Rising ~ Family life may have been rocky this year, but this weekend Jupiter and Neptune harmonizing in your house of home and family gives you hope that the worst has passed. Good things are coming. Saturday and Sunday, the Taurus-Moon lights up your relationships house. Love rules this weekend.

Sagittarius-Sun or Rising ~ Why so preoccupied? If it's anything but love, fun and/or family that's filling your mind, then put those thoughts away. Have a special night with your honey on Friday while the Aries-Moon cruises through your love house. Your sweetheart and family deserve your complete attention right now, and you might just be reminded of what puts a smile on your face.

Capricorn-Sun or Rising ~ Take everything in stride. The things revealed to you now are being shown to you for a reason. Take no actions now or make any final decisions about anything. Let what must, unravel. Then reassess situations. Find comfort in your beloved.

Aquarius-Sun or Rising ~ If you're craving a relaxing time with your honey, it makes sense with four planets in your house of rest. Time to catch up to much needed decompressing. Draw a bath for you and your sweetie Saturday or Sunday when the Moon is in comfort-lovin' Taurus.

Pisces-Sun or Rising ~ A packed 11th house suggests spending some time with friends or reconnecting with old friends might be in store this weekend. Grab your sweetie and have a ball with your friends – current and old.

It's all about love, romance, and relationships this weekend as Venus get up close and personal with Mars (actions are bold in Leo), Uranus (spiritual awakening in Pisces), and Jupiter (forward thinking in Aquarius).

The weekend begins with a lingering Venus-Mars oh, so wonderful trine on Friday. We continue to feel confident as we express our feelings and/or act upon our desires. Venus' growing square with Uranus climaxes on Saturday. There's an impatience with getting started on future plans. Venus' link to Jupiter and growing connection to Chiron and Neptune provide more than enough overoptimism that success in imminent. Slow down though, Mars will retrograde on Sunday. Success of actions rooted in impatience or the need for immediate gratification or movements not well planned may be short lived or efforts scattered.

Mars retrogrades from December 20 to March 2010. Use this time to reflect upon what your true goals are and reassess how you plan on achieving your objectives. Despite Mars' direction change, this weekend is a good one -- we see what can be; we see where the excess baggage is that need to be eliminated; we envision the final outcome/destination; we're excited and hopeful. Energy flows where attention goes, so put your attention on figuring the steps you intend to take once Mars moves direct again.

What's your weekend of love like?

Aries-Sun or Rising ~ Love takes a backseat on Sunday, so spend Friday and Saturday with the object of your affection. Savor each moment. Say what needs to be said. Venus' alignments with Mars, Uranus, and Jupiter allows for physical fun, the element of surprise, and a little hopefulness. Make it a good one!

Taurus-Sun or Rising ~ All these Venus hookups this weekend, while she continues to roam around your house of sex might mean you're gonna be busy between the sheets all weekend. Enjoy. Expect some surprising news/events with a friend or friends.

Gemini-Sun or Rising ~ Venus is cruising through your relationships house. Her hookups with Mars, Uranus, and Jupiter may cause you to think about the future – goals, plans, feasibility . Entertain these thoughts but don't require for them to be answered, on demand. Understand that this topic carry “weight” and answers must also be measured. So, enjoy the company of your honey without too many conditions this weekend.

Cancer-Sun or Rising ~ Don't get caught up in a busy workload and/or work-related drama. Assert your basic needs for boundaries between personal life and work life. If work-related travel is required this weekend, can your significant other tag along? If not, show your love before leaving, do some sexting (i.e. provocative texting) over the weekend (although not on your work mobile phone), and all other virtual/cyber ways to let your partner know he/she is loved and will be missed this weekend.

Leo-Sun or Rising ~ Venus and Mars flirt up a storm while Mars is in your sign and Venus cruising through your house of love. Friday is best for all things couple-y. Watch out for Mars' retrograde on Sunday. It's easy for unnecessary drama to ensue and for issues to be blown out of proportion. Don't lose sight of what is truly at the root of the issue at hand or in question.

Virgo-Sun or Rising ~ Watch out for something unexpected this weekend or perhaps you have something up your sleeve. Planning a little surprise for your loved one? Friday and Saturday are better days/nights for some quality time with your honey. Mars' retrograde on Sunday might decrease your energy. A day spent at home for some R&R might do the trick.

Libra-Sun or Rising ~ Redefining love. Is that what this weekend is about? Venus cruises through your house of thought while the Triple Conjunction transits your house of love and Saturn is in your sign teaching you about relationships. The weekend doesn't have to be heavy; simply look at the love you've shared with this person and be reminded of what has made it work. Perhaps the weekend is as much about celebrating love as it is defining/re-defining it.

Scorpio-Sun or Rising ~ As Venus stimulates your income house this weekend, don't let your mood be determined by whether you feel contentment with your financial security. Loved ones look to you for setting the tone in the home. Communicate your concerns with your significant other over wine and dinner. Your concerns may be valid but for now, they are concerns, not reality...yet. So, be “present” when interacting with loved ones.

Sagittarius-Sun or Rising ~ What an amazing weekend ahead! Venus in your sign lights up love, romance, relationships and gives you a boost of optimism in the things to come. Married or committed, this is the weekend to let your sweetheart know that he/she remains the apple of your eye. Budding relationship? Go ahead and impress the object of your affection with Venus and Jupiter hooking up, your charms won't fail you. Single Sag? If you don't want to be, just open your eyes and be present. He/she will be along shortly.

Capricorn-Sun or Rising ~ Times are a changin' and you must change along with it. Venus and Uranus touch the part of your chart that governs how you think and what you believe in. Yielding to these changes benefit your house of income and values. Make sure to trust your partner enough to share whatever concerns or difficulties you may be experiencing as Venus and Uranus challenges you to make some changes.

Aquarius-Sun or Rising ~ Jupiter in your sign gets happy with the planet of love this weekend. This may be a bittersweet meeting though. Mars retrogrades in your relationships house. Some things may be up for discussion. Issues remaining unanswered or avoided altogether may be reviewed during Mars retrograde period lasting until March 2010. For this weekend, however, enjoy the present and be present. You and your partner deserve each other's undivided attention.

Pisces-Sun or Rising ~ Future is looking bright, even Mars retrograding for a few months. Spend the weekend with your sweetheart and get excited all over again...about love, dreams, where you've been together, and where your life together might take you.

LuvScopes ~ December 11 to 13, 2009

It's a relatively "quiet" weekend, celestially speaking. Lingering Sun-Mars trine and Jupiter-Chiron conjunction continue to fill the air. We're aware of our vulnerabilities but we don't let it deter us from doing what must be done or what we desire. There's confidence in our actions and decisiveness in the choices we make.

Friday's Libra-Moon makes happy with the Triple Conjunction before becoming void of course from 12:44 p.m. to 11:31 p.m. (EST) and helps set the tone for a very relaxed, calm, but sociable evening until her entrance into Scorpio at 11:31 p.m. The mood quickly changes to one of curiosity with what lies beneath the surface. Conversations have more depth. Interactions are more meaningful. Emotions intensify. This Scorpio-Moon energy remains for Saturday and Sunday.

How might your Sun or Rising Sign fare with a Scorpio-Moon weekend?

*Please note that all day/time references are Eastern time unless otherwise noted.

Choose your Sun and/or Rising signs:
Aries | Taurus | Gemini | Cancer | Leo | Virgo | LibraScorpio | Sagittarius | Capricorn | Aquarius | Pisces
~ • ~
Aries-Sun or Rising ~ The Scorpio-Moon in your house of sex suggests what you've got on your mind for the weekend. With the happy hookup between the Sagittarius-Sun and your ruler, Mars, lingering, you'll have no problems asserting what you desire … as if, there were ever any doubt …

Taurus-Sun or Rising ~ Relationships are the focus for the weekend. If your partner has been leaving little to be desired, you'll have no problems letting him/her know as the Sun-Mars alignment lingers all weekend. Jupiter and Chiron awakens you to what your future goals are. Where does your loved one fit in that scenario now and where would you like him/her to fit? Is the gap workable or is it too great?

Gemini-Sun or Rising ~ Vanity setting in? Not feeling like you're pretty or hunky enough for your man/woman? Hmm... that's just the Scorpio-Moon moving around your house of health. Consider that you're looking through a warped set of lenses or one of those funny carnival mirrors. You are truly lovely, just as you are. Confidence is an aphrodisiac so, go on and strut your stuff. Your man/woman is sure to be impressed ;-)

Cancer-Sun or Rising ~ Love on the mind as the Scorpio-Moon cruises through your house of love and pleasure, especially Saturday when the Moon and Mercury hook up for a few hours. Those happily involved should use this weekend to show their sweetheart just how much he/she is loved and appreciated. Those unhappily involved, hmm, why are you still together again? Single Cancerians, grab a friend or two or more and get out there where love is offered for the taking.

Leo-Sun or Rising ~ Mars is still zipping around in your sign. His lingering alignment with the Sagittarius-Sun makes you feel like most anything is doable. Jupiter and Chiron bring a renewal in your partnerships house. Whatever was broken, is now mending or mended or something that continues to be worked on. There is hope, however. As long as you and your partner are on the same page and want the same thing, most anything is indeed possible.

Virgo-Sun or Rising ~ The Sun, Venus, and Mercury are all cruising through your house of love and now, the Moon visits your house of thought while she's in “how deep is your love” Scorpio. Don't analyze and find reason when it comes to emotions and love. Just yield, feel, and make sure to remind lovely partner know just how much your life is colored by his/her presence in it.

Libra-Sun or Rising ~ Jupiter and Chiron awaken your house of love with insight and healing; while the Sun, Venus, and Mercury in Capricorn bring focus to family matters and home life. Family may demand more of your time this weekend. Just make sure to schedule in some quality time with your significant other. While you're at it, why not share with him/her what the Triple Conjunction has been working through your house of love and creativity.

Scorpio-Sun or Rising ~ Woo hoo! It's a Lunar Return for you. Very nice. It's a power weekend for you with the Moon returning to your Sun sign. And just like Peter Parker's uncle said, “With great power comes great responsibility” :) Go easy on your love this weekend. Surprise him/her with an embrace or affection when some other reaction might be expected.

Sagittarius-Sun or Rising ~ Mentally, you are flying high with optimism as Jupiter and Neptune offer up some hopefulness. With three planets in Capricorn and keeping your shopping house busy, you're inclined to buy and be generous. Just make sure your honey is included in that shopping list and you are not overspending because you're super optimistic.

Capricorn-Sun or Rising ~ The Scorpio-Moon is in your house of rest and relaxation. You may prefer to decompress but a busy with three planets in your sign now, there really is no rest! So get what you need to get done early in the weekend. Then, spend a nice quiet and relaxing Saturday or Sunday night with your love.

Aquarius-Sun or Rising ~ The sky suggests a nice weekend with your sweetheart involves staying in, relaxing, but the Scorpio-Moon is in a very public house for you. You may need to make an appearance at a party or get together or maybe a work-related function. Staying in or going out, make sure to share the moments with your honey.

Pisces-Sun or Rising ~ What's on your mind? The Scorpio-Moon slips and slides in the part of your chart that governs expansiveness. With Jupiter and Chiron activating the house of your psyche, I'm uber curious what it is you're mulling over. I'm not important, however; your partner is. Clue him/her in. Don't get lost in your head. Grab some vino and discuss. He/she might surprise you by giving some clarification.

LuvScopes ~ December 4 to 6, 2009

Jupiter and Chiron embrace the weekend and fill the days with hope, healing, and wisdom. How fortunate since Saturn's energies are also stirred, giving the weekend a serious tone. Venus, the planet of love, makes a play for Mr. Reality. She must be getting serious... Coincidentally, Saturn, a.k.a. Mr. Reality, is presently focused on relationships and remains in conflict with Pluto, who happens to be in a restructuring mood. Love, romance, relationships (and for some finances) get a dose of reality this weekend.

Friday night's Cancer-Moon hook up with unpredictable Uranus (now moving forward again) while irritating the Triple Conjunction (Jupiter, Chiron, and Neptune) throughout the night may cause us to second guess ourselves when it comes to matters of the heart. Avoid giving too much focus on whatever confusion arises. Let the energy pass and yield, instead, to the cheerful Sagittarius-Sun and be encouraged by Jupiter and Chiron's united front.

Saturday afternoon the Moon enters self-expressive Leo, followed by Mercury joining Pluto in serious-minded Capricorn. Mercury proceeds to get closer to Pluto while also antagonizing Saturn. Mercury's alignments to Pluto and Saturn reinforces Venus' link to Saturn and Saturn's connection to Pluto. It may seem like decisions have to be made, plans have to determined, and answers given to questions. Avoid making rash decisions or commitments without fully understanding the weight of the choices being made.

Sunday's celestial energies are an extension of Saturday's. Yield to the Leo-Moon's courage and determination. Stand up for yourself, if necessary. But definitely, express what lies in your heart.

How might you fare this weekend?

Aries-Sun or Rising ~ Has there been a change of heart or mind or both? What you desired then (and it wasn't even that long ago) may not be what you want to work towards now. It's understandable that having seen "the light" you want to get a move on already. Just remember no rash decisions. Whether or not this recent "revelation" involves your beloved, do communicate with him/her. With Jupiter and Chiron in your house of friendships, leaning on good friends might be of help.

Taurus-Sun or Rising ~ Get out with your loved one and drag some friends with you on Friday night. You may feel like staying in on Saturday. Enjoy a relaxing evening with your sweetie or maybe have friends over for a fun get together. Whether staying in or going out, make sure to spend some quality time with those near and dear to your heart.

Gemini-Sun or Rising ~ Love and relationships may be scrutinized with a microscope this weekend as Venus and Saturn hook up. The Full Moon in your sign a few days ago, plus the Leo-Moon Saturday and Sunday, make it more likely you'll speak your mind about what it is you truly desire. With Mercury moving to determined Capricorn, go ahead and say what you have to say. Avoid overspending on Friday while the Moon is in Cancer and you may be feeling like being comforted by a little impulse buying.

Cancer-Sun or Rising ~ Family obligations may keep you from your honey most of the weekend. With Mercury entering Capricorn and your relationships house, your thoughts are on your partner as you busily attend to family duties. Make sure to take the time to at least let your honey know he/she is in your heart and mind. Hopefully, the Leo-Moon on Saturday and Sunday will give you the push you need to assert your needs/wants this weekend.

Leo-Sun or Rising ~ The Moon in your sign for part of this weekend is a definite plus. The sky suggests you've been getting all sorts of “insights” this year as the Triple Conjunction bring awareness to your relationships house. This week, Jupiter and Chiron revisit events/issues from May and July. Perhaps, their final visit brings finality to a situation or definitive answers to long-standing question/s. Whether this weekend brings elation or disappointment, current happenings promise your course to be on the right path. Share this weekend's moments with someone who makes you smile.

Virgo-Sun or Rising ~ Friday is the night for fun and tomfoolery, while the Moon cruises through one of your more social houses. Saturday night is ideal for staying in with your special someone for a night of marathon DVDs with some vino or six pack :-) Quiet the money concerns. You've been practical and living within your means, right? So, enjoy the weekend. No worries. And if you haven't been, start staying within your budget.

Libra-Sun or Rising ~ Saturn in your sign is a bit of a downer. This weekend though, Jupiter and Chiron pal around in your love house, bringing release and opportunities for some fun and romance. Mercury's entrance to Capricorn might make you think you want to stay in Saturday night. Listen to the Leo-Moon who thinks you need to be out and about with your lady love or super stud. If single, all the better, with the Sun and Venus in adventuresome Sagittarius!

Scorpio-Sun or Rising ~ Has there been a shortage of fun and romance for you these past months? Well, no longer! Uranus began moving forward earlier in the week, lifting whatever has been putting a damper on your love house. Celebrate by planning something romantic and unexpected by your sweetheart.

Sagittarius-Sun or Rising ~ With the Sun and Venus in your sign, the weekend doesn't need to be so heavy. Go out, stay in, make it a twosome weekend, or have friends over. It's really up to you. The Full Moon a few days ago lit up your relationships house. Celebrate love this weekend. It's all that's called for. Enjoy!

Capricorn-Sun or Rising ~ Work obligations may keep you from being home with loved ones this weekend. The Moon lights up your relationships house on Friday. Do try to spend some quality time with your significant other then. Saturday, Mercury joins Pluto in your sign so you may just be all business-minded the rest of the weekend. Treat your honey to something nice Friday night.

Aquarius-Sun or Rising ~ With your ruler, Uranus, now moving direct along with Jupiter and Chiron combining forces in your sign, you must be feeling like anything is possible. Well, with Mercury moving into Capricorn, you certainly can move metaphorical mountains by sheer determination. Life, living, dreaming, hoping, laughing are all best experienced when there is someone to share them with. So, go ahead and them with your sweetie.

Pisces-Sun or Rising ~ Has the fog lifted? Uranus moves forward in your sign again. Whew! Finally! This is cause for a celebration. Grab your partner and boogie the evening away on Friday while the Moon cruises through your house of love. Too cold to be out? Stay in for a more romantic evening, then.

LuvScopes ~ November 27 to 29, 2009

Friday's Aries-Moon begins the morning harmonizing with the Sagittarius-Sun (soulful optimism). Our innermost impulses, matches our external drives. Could this be a promising start to the day also extend to establish the tone for the weekend?!

The Aries-Moon (emboldened heart) makes no other connections with any celestial bodies until the Saturday, when she gets happy with the Triple Conjunction (rare & promising). Elsewhere in the sky this weekend, Mercury's (thinking/communicating) alignment to Uranus and the Triple Conjunction grows stronger while Venus' (love/relationships) link to the same celestial bodies linger all weekend.

Bid the Aries-Moon goodbye early morning on Sunday, when she enters stubborn but stable Taurus. The Moon's entrance in Taurus brings the intensity of Pluto (obsession) in play Sunday morning. Go ahead and sleep in. Enjoy the comfort of being in the arms of your honey. Perhaps the irritation between the Moon and Saturn (restriction), mid-morning, can be somewhat avoided. If not, the key is adjustment -- in attitude, in thinking, in talking. Best to get this little scuffle taken care of. Lest it be revisited later in the evening when the Moon and Sun (heart and soul) go at it. Just remember not to go to bed without getting everything squared away.

U.S. readers, Happy Thanksgiving. Now, what's the weekend outlook for you?

Aries-Sun or Rising ~ With the Moon in your sign and the promising Triple Conjunction activated this weekend while Venus, still in your house of sex for a few more days, there's really no reason why you shouldn't have an outstanding weekend. Just be mindful of possessiveness this weekend. Your honey might not like the feeling of being "owned".

Taurus-Sun or Rising ~ You may feel less like entertaining a house full of people or showing up for obligatory family gatherings this weekend. But alas, it may be unavoidable. With your ruler, Venus, aligning with love-to-shock Uranus and the Triple Conjunction, the weekend might just be amusing enough to keep you interested. Breathe a sigh of relief by Sunday and embrace your sweetie just a little tighter, when the Moon slips into Taurus.

Gemini-Sun or Rising ~ With the Aries-Moon lighting up your uber social house, you may just be the life of the party this weekend. But what else is new? I'm sure your partner is quite used to be out-shined by you. Sunday is perfect for chillaxin' with your honey as the Moon retreats into your house of rest and relaxation.

Cancer-Sun or Rising ~ Get your fun early in the weekend when Venus, in your house of love, toys with a little tension with the Triple Conjunction in your house of sex. Hmm... how to release that tension? I bet Mercury harmonizing with the Triple Conjunction has the right idea.

Leo-Sun or Rising ~ The Triple Conjunction gives you a little extra charm and wit this weekend as Venus and Mercury link up to them. If you're planning on making your "move" with the object of your affection or maybe meeting the future in-laws this weekend, odds are on your side :-) Avoid thinking about work on Sunday. Work will be there on Monday. Sunday is still reserved for you and your special someone. Just don't give in to the tension in the air.

Virgo-Sun or Rising ~ Venus and Mercury linking up to Uranus, activates your partnerships house. It's the perfect time to treat your honey with some well-deserved attention. The Aries-Moon cruises through your house of sex Friday and Saturday evening. Why not a little show and tell of how you feel.

Libra-Sun or Rising ~ Love is in the air as the love planet, Venus, gets fresh with the Triple Conjunction and activates your house of love. With Uranus in play, why not surprise your lover or perhaps, you might be the one surprised...hmm... This is also an ideal weekend for children so, make sure to get in some quality time with yours.

Scorpio-Sun or Rising ~ Family may be the greater focus this weekend. If your love is feeling a little neglected, surprise him/her with something out of the ordinary. Venus' link to Uranus in your house of love suggests the way to your lover's heart is through something new, out of the norm, experimental?

Sagittarius-Sun or Rising ~ Is a celebration in order? Clarification that's been eluding you is now crystal clear. There's complete understanding. What's been hidden has now come to light. Grab that special someone to celebrate this new-found enlightenment and toast to your love who has remained by your side in darkness and in light.

Capricorn-Sun or Rising ~ The Aries-Moon brings focus to family affairs this weekend. Mercury in your house of secrets linking up with Uranus in your communications house may mean you might receive surprising news. Is it your news? On a separate note, the Triple Conjunction activated by Venus and Mercury this weekend suggests you may be thinking of making a major purchase...perhaps for your love? Or maybe, you're the recipient of said surprise.

Aquarius-Sun or Rising ~ The Triple Conjunction in your sign gives you that extra oomph. Just don't let it go to your head. There's a bit of ugliness in conceit. Do, however, charm your sweetie with this added dose of self-confidence. Family may demand for your time by Sunday if they haven't already.

Pisces-Sun or Rising ~ Secrets revealed. Mercury's alignments to Uranus in your sign and the Triple Conjunction in your house of secrets may add a little shock factor to the weekend's activities. You and your sweetie will have much to be amused with unless the news is between you two, then it might be more of a discussion and less amusing.

LuvScopes ~ November 20 to 22, 2009

Whew!! Finally! A relatively, celestially quiet weekend is upon us. Other than the growing harmonious connection between the Sun and Saturn all weekend, Friday begins with a lingering, but weakening tension between Venus and Mars left over from the previous few days. There's conflict between our deepest desires and the driving force behind them. As a result, everyone around us seem to be trying our patience. A great way to relieve this strain is through physical activity -- a little bit of fun between the sheets, maybe? Hopefully, that is how your evening ended last night ;-)

By early evening Friday, the Capricorn-Moon playfully winks at Venus which lightens whatever strain the day may have been having or any seriousness filling the air. We're off to a promising start to the evening and weekend!

Saturday morning's Moon-Uranus hook up sets up the tone for the day. Do something out of the ordinary today. Break away from routine. As the day progresses, we get closer to the Moon and Sun changing signs late in the evening. By 10:15 p.m. (EST), the Moon enters social Aquarius; the Sun enters optimistic Sagittarius at 11:22 p.m. (EST) just in time to begin or continue festivities into the night!

Relax and recuperate Sunday by enjoying a quiet Aquarius-Moon. She makes no alignments until after 8 p.m. (EST) when the Moon harmonizes with Mercury, and we're all too excited to chat about whatever our little heart desires :-)

What is the weekend's outlook for you?

*Please note that all day/time references are Eastern time unless otherwise noted.

Choose your Sun and/or Rising signs:
Aries | Taurus | Gemini | Cancer | Leo | Virgo | Libra Scorpio | Sagittarius | Capricorn | Aquarius| Pisces
~ • ~
Aries-Sun or Rising ~ Whatever disagreements or tension you may have had with your love, get over it. There's no reason to ruin a weekend over what's done. Say your peace, learn from the experience, forgive, and move on to better days and better experiences. This weekend is as enjoyable as you make it. Let love rule!

Taurus-Sun or Rising ~ Venus remains in your relationships house while the Sun spends his last weekend there. Make the most of this time. Say what you've been fearful to say. If words fail, try doing something that mirrors what's in your heart. Don't hold it in. Be brave and say what you have to say.

Gemini-Sun or Rising ~ If there's work to be done, get it done Friday. Save Saturday night for you and your hunny when the Sun joins Mercury in your relationships house. You'll be able to give him/her the closest to what “undivided” attention a Gemini could muster up :)

Cancer-Sun or Rising ~ A financial crunch might be at the forefront of your mind. Not a fun thing to dwell on, especially with the weekend coming up. Consider having fun, within your means, with someone who brightens your heart. Problems hang around whether or not you have a good time. Just make sure you don't add to any money worries while you're having said good time.

Leo-Sun or Rising ~ Is home/love a battlefield? It doesn't have to be. That was soooo yesterday. Early Friday evening the Moon gets a little fresh with Venus, go ahead and let that lovin' feelin' take over. Making up is the best part of arguing. Plan to stay out late Saturday night and be reminded of what you love about your love. I bet you won't have to think about it too long.

Virgo-Sun or Rising ~ Obligations making you feel like you might not get an actual day off, let alone a weekend this weekend? Play first, work later. Good for the soul this weekend. Early Friday night's flirt fest between the Moon and Venus might get you in the mood to lighten up a bit and get a little play time in with your lady love/stud muffin :) If you're able to wait and dedicate Sunday to fulfill obligations, go ahead and play again on Saturday. Call it an early evening Saturday so you'll get enough rest and can attend to what needs attention on Sunday.

Libra-Sun or Rising ~ What have you got up your sleeve? If it's a peace offering, best to give it early Friday evening and it better be something that says, “I'm in this thing with you for the long haul.” Anything less will not suffice. And you might just find yourself in the dog house again. Head out for some fun with your sweetie Saturday night and stay out as late desired. Anything goes.

Scorpio-Sun or Rising ~ A disagreement with a superior from the previous day may linger Friday, making the work day less pleasant. Be mindful and avoid bringing this energy home with you. Luckily, Venus, still in your sign, gets a little love from the Cappy-Moon early Friday evening which should help get a fabulous weekend started. Snuggle with your honey Friday or Saturday night and savor as the Sun's last hours in Scorpio.

Sagittarius-Sun or Rising ~ You may feel like staying in and relaxing with your lovely other half this weekend as the planet of love, Venus, remains in your chillaxin' house. Although, the Sun moves to your sign late Saturday night, his growing link to serious Saturn may not necessarily make you feel like painting the town red. No worries. A few more Sag-Sun weekends on the horizon for you and your honey to cut the rug with.

Capricorn-Sun or Rising ~ After the past two weekends, make sure to take the time now and enjoy a full weekend with your partner. You may still be driven to get some things done ... after all, “it'll only take a minute.” You know as well your love that this is not so. Work and obligations have taken one too many weekends from you already. Make this weekend yours and spend it with those who mean most to you.

Aquarius-Sun or Rising ~ As the day ends on Friday, you may not be feeling up to going out. No worries. Go ahead. Unwind. Decompress from the day's stresses. Saturday night, the Sun enters gregarious Sagittarius while and Moon slips into your sign. Ahh, that's much better. Grab your sweetie and meet up with some pals for a night on the town. Expect to see the sunrise!

Pisces-Sun or Rising ~ Feeling frisky? The Moon and Venus flirting with each other makes Friday night ideal for a little somethin' somethin' with your sweetie. Though the rest of the weekend may be lower energy, some cuddling action while enjoying a marathon of your favorite flicks might just be the ticket for a Saturday night!

LuvScopes ~ November 13 to 15, 2009

The tension from last weekend extends to and peaks this weekend. With the Sun (ego), Mercury (communication), and Venus (relationships) in Scorpio, everything is magnified to their umpteenth degree! We're not just angry anymore; we're infuriated; not distrustful, but paranoid. We don't just leave, we hightail it; we don't simply let go, we break away...bust out. Saturn and Pluto are still agitating each other and comes to a head this weekend. Couple that with the Sun's links to Uranus and the Triple Conjunction, this weekend promises a lot of strain, some unpredictability, and a little bit of hope.

The weekend starts off promising enough. The friendly Libra-Moon harmonizes with each of the Triple Conjunction. This begins on Friday evening and continues through to Saturday until 5:25 p.m. (EST), when the Moon enters Scorpio in preparation for the New Moon on Monday.

Saturday night, the Scorpio-Moon aligns with Pluto, further intensifying the terrible tightness in the air.

Sunday morning hits critical mass for the Saturn-Pluto square which is thankfully tempered, albeit only a little, by the Moon and Venus locked in a passionate embrace. Every little bit helps though. Later that evening at 7:30 p.m. (EST), Mercury enters idealistic Sagittarius. Thought process and communication lightens the mood a little as our minds begin thinking more optimistically.

What's this all mean for you?

~ • ~
Aries-Sun or Rising ~ Feeling like you're on a short leash? Doing things, going places, saying words that you wouldn't necessarily do, see, or say if it were solely up to you? Relationships restrict and make you wonder if love and/or loved ones keep you from living the dream. Take a time out and spend quality time with the self or be with friends, as you seek answers to your questions.

Taurus-Sun or Rising ~ If it seems your footing is a little off and you're trying hard to get your balance back, it's probably because you are. Trust your heart and follow its voice. Consider that perhaps, the answer lies within you. Sleep in with your sweetie Sunday morning. Enjoy the simplicity of being in the arms of your love.

Gemini-Sun or Rising ~ So, what gives? What's up with all the heaviness? Oh that darn Saturn-Pluto craziness putting pressure on your house of love and forcing it to go through some kind metamorphosis. Fight it or not, you'll eventually have to give in to the inevitable changes. A redefinition of true, unconditional love is in store. A little heavy for a weekend? Go out and have fun with someone that makes you smile.

Cancer-Sun or Rising ~ If there was a weekend to escape and be alone somewhere, this is that weekend. If there is no escaping, then steel yourself. Home is a battlefield. Love is draining. Relationships demanding. Find quiet moments throughout the weekend to regain or retain your center. You must remember to nurture and care for the self during this difficult time.

Leo-Sun or Rising ~ Throughout the weekend, the Sun and the Moon each make their connections with the Triple Conjunction. You aren't immune to the strain produced by the Saturn-Pluto square, but it is just a little bit easier for you to see the silver lining. With activity in both your money houses, you may feel inclined to shop this weekend. Just watch the budget, keep impulse buying to none, and remember to get your sweetie something!

Virgo-Sun or Rising ~ Love hurts. Money is tight. A busy 3rd house reinforces your already active tendency to worry, worry, worry. Maybe you and a Cancer friend can commiserate with one another. It isn't all glib though. The Triple Conjunction are all moving direct now and promises that opportunities for work is on its way to you, if it isn't already there. The Sun and the Moon will also each link up with the Triple Conjunction so, treasure the moments of hopefulness and flashes of insight; you'll get them in small doses throughout the weekend.

Libra-Sun or Rising ~ With Saturn in your sign and antagonizing Pluto, it may be difficult to see that the promises of the Triple Conjunction in your love and romance house are in full force. Hang in there though. By Sunday night, Mercury enters Sagittarius and your 3rd house of thought, where he'll help you with positive thinking and awareness of the bigger picture. So, hang in there.

Scorpio-Sun or Rising ~ Well aren't you the lucky one? Everyone else is falling apart, but here you are with three celestial bodies in your sign with a fourth to join them by Saturday night, giving you just enough oomph. Both the Sun and Moon will hook up with Uranus who is in your house of love. So, put more energy into your sweetheart this weekend and try not to get pulled in by this Saturn-Pluto madness.

Sagittarius-Sun or Rising ~ Get your mind off money worries by enjoying some time with your love (and loved ones). As Saturn and Pluto puts extra pressure on your house of finances, be reminded of what matters most in life and more than material security. Cherish the moments spent with your sweetie and watch the worries be reduced to quieter than whispers.

Capricorn-Sun or Rising ~ Oi! Again, yes, I know. So, how's that vice grip feel? The Saturn-Pluto squeeze is really hitting you right where it hurts. Good thing you have a strong resolve. On the positive side, the Triple Conjunction promises some increase in your material value. So, be on the lookout for a new or supplemental source of income on the horizon. Just as well since you may feel like appeasing yourself with a little shopping this weekend. Pick something up for your honey.

Aquarius-Sun or Rising ~ There's a sense of urgency. Time to take stock, own up to decisions made and do some growing up. Careful that your partner isn't on the receiving end of frustrations you might be feeling. Mars is still in your 7th house of relationships where aggressions are easier to channel towards others.

Pisces-Sun or Rising ~ Who's been saying what to whom? Huh? An associate, friend or frenemy may cause the boat to rock this weekend. Is it your or your significant other's secrets being revealed? No matter. Consider the possible intentions/motivations behind the messenger's actions as you and your partner figure out what this news could mean to you. If you haven't already, make up by Sunday morning when the Moon and Venus are canoodling ;-)

LuvScopes ~ November 6 to 8, 2009

We're tense, touchy, wanting, and the entire time feeling that we're right on THAT edge. What gives?! Just because the self is feeling this, does it mean we have to take out our frustrations on others? Perhaps the challenge this weekend is in keeping it together on the inside so we aren't adding to the tension by unnecessarily arguing with those near and dear to our hearts. With Venus joining both the Sun and Mercury in Scorpio and aligning with Pluto, it may be difficult to simply let things go. So, choose your battles wisely and don't bicker over of petty issues. The addition of Mercury's link to Jupiter reminds us that even our most well-intentioned plans may be overly optimistic or chosen words may be spoken too impulsively.

It's another cardinal sign weekend. The Moon will be home in sensitive Cancer until Sunday afternoon, when she joins Mars for the warmth of Leo. Elsewhere in the sky, following Chiron's lead last week, Neptune also changed directions this week and is now in forward motion. All weekend, the growing strain between Saturn and Pluto's square remains in the background.

The combination of all these planets in water signs, Chiron and Neptune now direct, while Saturn and Pluto duels may make us all just a little extra nutty. We're sensitive (water signs) as the personal struggles and inner work we've done over the past 5 or so months may now begin to manifest in our external world (Chiron and Neptune direct). In the back of our mind, we worry that though we succeeded with what we've set out to do, it wasn't enough. The work continues and may be more trying now that it's intertwined with our tangible world (Saturn and Pluto square). So, the anxiety we may feel might be expressed by arguing over spilled milk. Just don't lose sight of what truly is at the root of issues this weekend. If you have to fight, fight over the real problem and not its symptoms.

Those of us who are natively strong with water influence in our birth charts may fare a little better this weekend. So, keep that in mind and be more understanding of those who seem to be drowning in all this water.

How might YOU fare this weekend?

Aries-Sun or Rising ~ Home is where the heart is this weekend, even if there may be tension with your partner. Remember that communication is a two-way street and more effective when there aren't any preconceived notions in the way of true understanding. Or at least quiet them long enough to truly listen to your sweetie.

Taurus-Sun or Rising ~ It's the first weekend since the Full Moon in your sign. With three planets in Scorpio moving around your 7th house of relationships plus the Cancer-Moon now in your 3rd house of thought and communication, love is on the brain. And you just have to know -- where is this going? If considering THE talk with your lover, approach it directly. Save hinting and probing for answers for someone who can read your mind.

Gemini-Sun or Rising ~ Tension in love land? Say it ain't so! But if it is so, stand your ground. Your significant other's words may be cutting and his/her actions hurtful. Do not be made to feel less than you are. Remain confident and be reminded of where you've been and what you've overcome. You are your own success story!

Cancer-Sun or Rising ~ Home may be a battleground this weekend if you live with your partner. But with the Moon in your sign, the odds are in your favor. Dote on yourself if your special someone can't be bothered. You are, after all, wonderful just as you are!

Leo-Sun or Rising ~ Work and responsibilities may be on your mind this weekend. Coupled with Mars still in your sign, you'll be driven to having a constructive weekend. Just make sure you also give yourself quality time with loved ones as three planets now give attention to your 4th house of home and hearth while the Cancer-Moon is in repose in your 12th house of rest and relaxation. Sleep in one morning before tackling what must be done.

Virgo-Sun or Rising ~ What to do? What to do? Cancer-Moon urges you to get out there and have a little fun, especially now that Saturn is out of your sign after 2+ years of being there. But now you feel the Saturn-Pluto squeeze between financial matters and indulging in a little fun. With Mars still in your 12th house, you're more likely to yield towards the conservative option. So, why not bring the fun to you? Have a few choice people over to join you and your honey? It's a little fun with good people without tearing a hole in your pocket.

Libra-Sun or Rising ~ With Saturn in your sign and fighting it out with Pluto in your 4th house of family, coupled with three planets occupying your house of material values and the Cancer-Moon illuminating your house of future goals, the weekend may be heavier than you care to have. There truly is no reason to worry over what might or might not happen. The triple conjunction now moves forward in your 5th house of love, fun, and creativity. Remember your ideals and what/who is/are behind what motivates you to succeed. Honor those ideals/people this weekend. Yield to that energy and get a little romance in to honor your soul mate.

Scorpio-Sun or Rising ~ Three planets are now in your sign. The Full Moon earlier in the week illuminated your 7th house of relationships. Enjoy this time with your love. No need to pick, pick, pick at metaphorical scabs. It's over. Done. A little personal growth may be in store this weekend with the Cancer-Moon's help. Do the more difficult thing and let it go. Take a deep breath *inhale* and release *exhale* ... repeat ... slower ... and repeat one last time. Smile and give your sweetheart a little wink :-)

Sagittarius-Sun or Rising ~ With the triple conjunction all moving forward in your 3rd house, your mind must be filled with grand ideas! But the three planets in your 12th house of the subconscious may cause some cloudiness when trying to pinpoint details. Consider sharing your thoughts with your honey. You may just get to that clarity you seek with the help of a loved one.

Capricorn-Sun or Rising ~ Oi! Feel that crushing squeeze? It'll only get stronger. The Cancer-Moon now shines her light in your 7th house of relationships so, be mindful of not letting your partner bear the brunt of any stress or frustration you may have. Let your loved one in and together you can work things through. It's called a partnership/marriage for a reason. Let this weekend rekindle flames to remind you of why you love your sweetie.

Aquarius-Sun or Rising ~ The triple conjunction now moves direct in your sign. Despite the tense sky, there are promises to be excited about. Share them with your lady love/hunky beau this weekend.

Pisces-Sun or Rising ~ The Cancer-Moon lights up your fun house, giving you license to play this weekend. Grab you honey for a short little getaway or get your groove on closer to home. Either way, light up a little romantic fire this weekend.

LuvScopes ~ October 30 to November 1, 2009

Love and relationships may get its first taste of being tested this weekend with Saturn in Libra for the first time since, oh, 1980 to 1982. Saturn is Mr. Reality and hard work. The next couple of years will show us which relationships are solid, which will crumble, and those formed within these two-plus years may prove to have been built on a solid foundation.

On October 31, Chiron changes directions and prepares to move forward, making sure that we now give proper attention to long standing issues, especially ones unaddressed these past months.

As if these major shifts in the sky weren't enough, there's an Aries-Moon thrown in the mix this weekend which guarantees impulsiveness and passions unbridled. In Aries, the Moon takes the direct approach in expressing raw, ardent emotions. We are emboldened and must be heard! No holding back...for ill or for good. So, if Saturn, Chiron, and Mercury's recent move to "prove me I'm wrong" Scorpio aren't already working us over, this Aries-Moon will!

But it's all energies, right? Energies are like invitations. You can choose which to grace your presence with, which to avoid, and which to drag your friends and crash :-)

Early Friday evening may suffer from the stresses of the day, when the impetuous Aries-Moon dared to defy to Saturn. As we sought to find the balance between fulfilling the self's desires and satisfying the obligations within our partnerships -- business, intimate, platonic, or familial -- the Aries-Moon also battled with Pluto, who could not help but keep forcing an issue that may have already been done and dealt with.

The Moon itself is quiet Friday night with only a little bit of frustration with Mercury in Scorpio late evening, which may make communication a bit challenging. When words fail, express yourself through action; one that makes it clear to your loved one that you have their personal interest on your priority list.

Fortunately, we are blessed with Venus happily linked to Neptune giving the weekend the undertones for harmony. Yield to this positive energy all weekend, especially Friday night. Do watch out for Sun and Mercury as they grow closer to blending energies. Both are in Scorpio so, avoid obsessing but do consider your intuition to have merit.

Saturday, the Moon is quiet until late in the evening when she hooks up with Jupiter, making it easy to party heartily. Who will you be hooking up with? hmm...

We wake to the Moon and Neptune making nice on Sunday morning. We might sleep in, get lost in our dreams a little longer, and continue to enjoy a some indoor fun. The Aries-Moon is void of course from 8:30 a.m. to 7:45 p.m. (ET), when she enters pleasure and comfort-seeking Taurus, ushering in the following day's Full Moon.

What might the weekend be like for you? Scroll down and find out!

Aries-Sun or Rising ~ This is a supercharged weekend for you with the Moon in your sign. Just make sure to remember that it takes two to tango. Surprise the object of your affection by shining the spotlight on him/her this weekend, despite any 'heaviness' Saturn might bring in your house of relationships.

Taurus-Sun or Rising ~ A little quiet time with a glass of vino, a warm bath, or a funny flick might shake off any tension left from the work day. Saturday is time for fun and love so, plan a night out or in-house romance with your partner.

Gemini-Sun or Rising ~ Painting the town red and watching the Sun come up may just be what awaits you this weekend. Don't let Saturn's (obligations) presence in your house of fun deter you from having any. Enjoy the weekend. No guilt.

Cancer-Sun or Rising ~ Keep the worrying to a minimum this weekend. Responsibilities will still be there tomorrow, next week. Make time for family, yes. But yield to the Aries-Moon's self-centered tendencies and care for the self as well.

Leo-Sun or Rising ~ You may be forced to deal with a long-standing issue within the marriage/relationship as Chiron's direction change occurs in your 7th house of partnerships. Approach it from a fresh perspective. Consider that there may be information or opportunities that have now become available to you...and definitely, communicate!

Virgo-Sun or Rising ~ Intimacy and some quality togetherness with your beloved does wonders for heart and libido as passions rise with the Aries-Moon in your 8th house of sex. Saturn just left your sign. Celebrate!

Libra-Sun or Rising ~ With Saturn (reality) and Venus (love) in your sign, the Moon (heart) in your relationships house, and Chiron (healing) in your house of romance, the weekend may be bittersweet. Whatever situation may arise, remain objective with finding a resolution as a goal to achieve.

Scorpio-Sun or Rising ~ Work and responsibilities may be close to your heart and mind this weekend. Just remember that whether or not you take time for yourself, work will still be there. A few hours or a night of what gives you a smile -- dinner plans, catching a movie, spa treatment -- and preferably with a loved one would do wonders for the soul. Better to tackle responsibilities in a more joyful state.

Sagittarius-Sun or Rising ~ The Aries-Moon illuminates your house of love and romance. What a treat it is this weekend. Have a great time with your lady love or studly dude. Single? Get out there and get your groove on...

Capricorn-Sun or Rising ~ Saturn's recent entrance to your house of career and future goals while the Aries-Moon shines her light upon your home and private life might give the weekend heavier undertones with thoughts of the future. The Scorpio-Sun, however, is in your 11th house of friendships so why not hang with some friends to lighten spirits. Extend the invite to your loved one, of course. But do schedule couple time with just each other. After all, the plan is to share your future with her/him, right?

Aquarius-Sun or Rising ~ With the impatient, impassioned Aries-Moon in your communications house, be mindful of outbursts and keep the soapbox to a minimum. Lest you and your special someone end up in a screaming match, especially with aggressive Mars cruising through your 7th house of relationships.

Pisces-Sun or Rising ~ Saturn leaves your relationships house to join Venus in your house of endings and this move coincides with Chiron changing directions in your house of the subconscious, it may be time to release a broken relationship or accept the truths about a tie that binds, especially now that you've been made aware of the truth. With the Aries-Moon in your 2nd house of possessions, go ahead and find comfort in little impulse shopping.

LuvScopes ~ October 23 to 25, 2009

With the Moon in Capricorn most of the weekend, it's an ideal time to quit procrastinating and tackle what we've been putting off! This is a weekend where sheer determination can move metaphorical mountains. But since this is the weekend's LuvScopes, let me shift my focus ...

Venus and Mercury remain in Libra so love and relationships still fill the mind and dominate conversations. The Sun enters intensely passionate Scorpio early Friday which could turn even the unemotional and stoic Capricorn-Moon into a smoldering heap of sensuality. Satisfy some of earthy Capricorn's five senses and you'll be in for a treat; a simple touch may erupt devilishness beneath that cool, controlled Capricorn exterior. With Mars still regal and confident in Leo, you'll be sure to charm/tame any prey.

The Sun and Moon are in zodiac signs that are in "it" for the long haul; Scorpio and Capricorn promote and prefer longevity instead of passing fancies. This may give the weekend a more serious tone for relationships. If you are not ready for any level of commitment, be forewarned. If you are ready and feel you must broach the subject, then do so with an open-mind. Lean towards Mercury and Venus in fair-minded Libra for support.

Do watch out for the Scorpio-Sun's growing conflict with Mars, loitering in the background. Your needs and desires are important but avoid self-absorption or believing your needs are more important than your counterpart. With Mercury harmoniously aligned to Neptune and irritating Uranus this weekend, perceptions may be obscured, words taken as shocking or said to get a reaction, and interactions may produce abrupt disruptions to relational harmony. Even with Scorpio (Sun) and Capricorn (Moon) at the helm, Neptune's subtlety gives the weekend romantic/idealistic undertones and Uranus' influence might just leave enough room for surprises.

By the afternoon on Sunday, the Moon leaves Capricorn and enters freedom-loving Aquarius. We break the shackles of being responsible to go off and have a little fun before the weekend is over.

What does this mean for your you?

Aries-Sun or Rising ~ The Sun transiting your 8th house of sex suggest you want a little carnality this weekend, after a little romance (Mars transits 5th house) with your special someone (Venus transits 7th house), of course. But the heart may be heavy with thoughts of the future ... if it's something you've been deep in thought about for some time, then by all means, talk it out. Otherwise, chalk it up to the stars and enjoy every moment by being present in it with your lovely lady or studly dude.

Taurus-Sun or Rising ~ Fancy a little weekend getaway with your significant other? Go for it! A little spontaneity doesn't hurt...really. Going away or not, allow yourself be driven by your feelings this weekend. See where that takes you...

Gemini-Sun or Rising ~ Torn between work and play? If chores absolutely can't wait, then get them done early and quick. Otherwise, the answer is easy. It's the weekend, and the Capricorn-Moon is all over your 8th house of sex. So, go ahead and get yours ;-)

Cancer-Sun or Rising ~ The Sun and Moon cruising through your love and relationship houses plus Mercury and Venus in your cozy 4th house of home and hearth suggests staying in for a little romance might be your just desserts.

Leo-Sun or Rising ~ You may be driven to pursuing what you want, but it doesn't feel right or doesn't sit well with you. Think about where your heart is right now; what figure, picture, words come to mind. Perhaps, the motivation behind your actions this weekend should reflect those.

Virgo-Sun or Rising ~ The heart wants fun. The mind is worrisome. The body is tired. Hmm... Well, get some rest Friday night to rejuvenate the physical body and re-energize the soul. Then reserve Saturday for the pleasures of your choice, within your means. After all, practicality and fun goes hand in hand for a Virgo :)

Libra-Sun or Rising ~ If your beloved doesn't have the time for you this weekend, no worries. With Mars cruising through your 11th house of friendships, there's fun to be had with pals! The heart may be pulled to home and family so, make sure to factor in some quality time with loved ones before heading out to the party of choice.

Scorpio-Sun or Rising ~ What's on your mind? Looking serious, heavy... Careful not to get too lost in your head. A little repose might be the answer just make sure it's quality time spent with yourself and that you're not avoiding or escaping. In any case, express what preoccupies your mind. Might just clear the air for you and your loved one. Or, at the very least, the cards are laid out.

Sagittarius-Sun or Rising ~ Friends may demand for your time this weekend when all you may want is a little quiet time between you and your girl/guy. Going away together is not out of the question. Doesn't have to be far, just away from ... demands. Maybe turning off the cellphone a little this weekend is enough of a getaway.

Capricorn-Sun or Rising ~ Work and obligations may have required your attention last weekend. This weekend, however, it's all about you! So, what does your little heart desire? Mars moving around in your 8th house of sex might be a BIG clue. Indulge. The sky supports it!

Aquarius-Sun or Rising ~ A light social weekend may not be in the stars for you, but spending time with your love is. If you have work obligations, try to get it done earlier in the day/weekend. A nice, quiet time together may work wonders.

Pisces-Sun or Rising ~ So the fish wants to come up for air this weekend? Plan a fun night out with your hottie/hunk. If that's not possible, then why not bring the party home and throw a little get together. Make sure to enlist a few friends to help with the clean up!

LuvScopes ~ October 16 to 18, 2009

Introducing --> Weekend astrological forecasts, LuvScopes, will be posted on Thursdays and will feature a look at the weekend's outlook on love, fun, relationship, and romance.

The weekend kicks off Friday with lingering but weakening effects of Venus-Pluto square and the Moon (heart) slipping into Libra, shining a spotlight on relationships as she joins the Sun (soul), Venus (love), and Mercury (communication). Mars soon follows by entering Leo, where pleasure and romance are on the agenda. With Mars' entrance in Leo comes an irritating alignment with Pluto (obsession) this weekend. Do watch out for this and remember that "adjustment" is key, especially when tensions rise. Frustration and anger are just energies similar to love and joy. Choose love. Yield to compassion and joy. Saturday features the Libra-Moon harmoniously linked to reap the promises of the triple conjunction. Then, very early Sunday morning (or very late Saturday evening for Pacific time zoners), the Sun and Moon mix it up in Libra and gives love and relationships a renewal during this New Moon. By mid-morning, the Moon leaves the social sign of Libra for the more intense Scorpio.

What does this mean for your Sun or Rising sign?

*Please note that all day/time references are Eastern time unless otherwise noted.

Choose your Sun and/or Rising signs: Aries | Taurus | Gemini | Cancer | Leo | Virgo |Libra | Scorpio | Sagittarius | Capricorn | Aquarius | Pisces

~ • ~
Aries-Sun or Rising ~ Go ahead and amaze your love with a thoughtful, selfless gesture. It'll be a pleasant surprise when the Ram gives the attention to another. A little pampering for the object of your affection or an intimate social gathering thrown by yours truly might just do the trick. If you're crushin' hard on someone, just go for it this weekend. The answer is either yes or no, at least you know. Keep tempers in check, however, especially with your ruling planet Mars in a pickle with Pluto.

Taurus-Sun or Rising ~ Busy, busy. A lot on the plate. Breeaathe...slllooooowly ... breeaaathe sllllllloooower ... annnnd last time...breeeeaathe. Smile. Think fun. Apply that "Bull"-ish determination toward something enjoyable for both you and your beloved. Avoid nit-pickiness or getting stuck in the details. Light and simple goes a long way. Elegance is not necessarily synonymous with extravagance.

Gemini-Sun or Rising ~ Although indecision and "que sera sera" may be the preferred option, this weekend you must make a choice. Yield to the light Libran energy dwelling in your 5th house of fun and pleasure or succumb to the frustration Mars and Pluto are having in your 3rd house of the mind and 8th house of endings and transformation. The latter might be necessary if a situation has come to a head due to procrastination and avoidance, especially if this involves a lover or love interest. But really, you've avoided it for this long, what's another weekend? Party it up?

Cancer-Sun or Rising ~ Staying in with the ones closest to your heart might be what is needed after a celestially busy week in addition to life's little tragedies. With Mars just getting settled in your 2nd house of material possessions, think twice before any major purchases and be aware of the urge for impulse buying, especially with Mars and Pluto aligned. At any point this weekend, remember that the choice is yours. Don't feel like you have to concede to anything you are uncomfortable with.

Leo-Sun or Rising ~ What's with all the drama? Mars' entrance to your Sun sign should be a cause for dancing in the street. It's that darned Mars-Pluto commotion stirring up trouble. Just make sure that your efforts aren't rooted in fear or malice and that you have all the pertinent information necessary to make decisions or take actions. With a busy 3rd house, communication, diplomacy, and logic will help balance whatever dramas may unfold this weekend. Try to nip it in the bud early on so you can enjoy the rest of the weekend. Physical activity is ideal to de-stress or expend negative energy.

Virgo-Sun or Rising ~ Shopping is not the answer... well, maybe temporarily. You may feel like laying low, staying in but your partner may have other, more high energy things in mind. Things are changing in your 5th house of romance and pleasure with Pluto dwelling here for a while now. It's still early so, you can't quite figure out where things are headed. You're still in the "discovery" mode. Mars' irritating alignment to Pluto this weekend may cause you to question things. Just keep in mind that you are still uncovering, discovering, no need to feel rushed to make decisions if there is still uncertainty. In the immediate, take the down time you need. Indulge your love with what he/she wants to do but make sure to communicate that you will also need some time for repose and recharging.

Libra-Sun or Rising ~ It's all about you this weekend. Don't you forget that! Have fun. Spend time with your special someone and find time for friends, too. The New Moon shines on your 1st house, highlighting a renewal in how you treat yourself, how you view yourself. It's time to focus on the self, your needs, your desires, your potential.

Scorpio-Sun or Rising ~ Work can wait. It's the weekend. Nobody should be THAT dedicated. If you don't feel like being social, don't force it. Give yourself some much needed R&R and quality time with yourself. Laying low and rejuvenation may be the best route to go with both your Sun sign's rulers (Mars & Pluto inconjunct) going at it this weekend. If being out and about is unavoidable, keep in mind to hold back the Scorpion sting for only the most deserving :) and make sure the consequences are well worth it.

Sagittarius-Sun or Rising ~ It's unfortunate there's only one you. Everybody seems to want a piece of you this weekend. I mean, it should really be more flattering than anything. A busy social schedule is not something that comes easily for everyone. If you have too many choices on which engagement to grace your presence with, perhaps ask your better half (er, I mean, other half) which party, gathering, event to attend. If single, then grab a few friends and party on! Does it really matter which? Start with one that you're obligated be at then follow where the loudest laughter is coming from.

Capricorn-Sun or Rising ~ Feeling like you just can't get a break?! This weekend might be another weekend at the office or working from home or perhaps attending work-related social gatherings. As if Pluto who is currently in your Sun sign isn't enough to intensify things, Mars decides to add frustration and irritation to the equation. With the New Moon in your 10th house of career and long term goals, there's added tension to meeting work deadlines or delivering on your end of the agreement. Although, you may need to work done this weekend, do take the time to be with your loved ones even if it's only for dinner ... just make sure it's uninterrupted time and with your undivided attention. You may not realize it but keeping the balance of work and family/career and private life is necessary for you not to lose sight of your true objectives.

Aquarius-Sun or Rising ~ Planning a little weekend getaway with your love? Or maybe just showering them with your attention and "good" intentions :) In your excitement though, just be cool and don't be pushy. If your partner's schedule doesn't allow for the plans you've made, keep calm. Communicate. Be reminded of the "why" and compromise. Find something comparable that you both enjoy and can do together. It isn't what you do or where you go, it's that you are with each other, creating memories together.

Pisces-Sun or Rising ~ Feel like doing something special for your beloved? Something thoughtful but big. Perhaps a key to your apartment *gulp* ... or a night with his/her fave things to do/see/visit on the agenda. With the New Moon and a full 8th house with the Sun, Moon, Mercury, and Venus cruising through it now, you may be ready for changes -- "share" more of yourself (material or otherwise), show the depth of your commitment, or find out where things stand are a few examples of what this weekend might have in store for love and relationships.
