The Astrology of Today - All Signs

July 4, 2009

The Moon is in Sagittarius all day. The Moon is at her most optimistic and upbeat in Sagittarius. We are motivated by a need to seek the truth, and we are ready to pursue a new vision. We are not interested in details just now. Instead, we focus on the big picture. New experiences and adventures satisfy a deep emotional need. Spontaneity is the key. We may also be inclined toward overdoing and overstating. We don't want to plan ahead, and prefer to "wing it". Nevertheless, Mercury's opposition to Pluto today suggests either a compulsive need to talk or a desire to withhold information. Obsessive thinking, attempts to persuade others to think like we do, insisting on knowing the "truth" or on exposing falsehoods, making mountains out of molehills--these are all possibilities now. This aspect can also represent mental anxiety or concern. On the other hand, it can suggest the ability to engage in deep, penetrating communication.

This Year: Libra

With Jupiter, the planet of abundance, moving through your romance and pleasure sector virtually all year, dear Libra, 2009 is bound to bring pleasure in the romance department. Social engagements abound. For singles, meeting a special person is highly likely, although it is not necessarily a person who is “partnership material”. You are feeling quite free from responsibilities until the end of October, making it easier for you to let your hair down and have a good time! New responsibilities, and possibly pressures, are likely to appear in the last two months of the year, particularly for those born very early in the sign (September 23-27). Very strong opportunities for starry-eyed romance occur this year with Jupiter joining Neptune three times in your romance sector–in May, July, and December. Mind you, there is also a tendency to be a little on the gullible side–you could be believing what you want to believe rather than what is. In November, family responsibilities, changing attitudes toward domestic life and family, and possibly issues with control and dependency will surface, and many of you will be feeling pressure to organize your lives and to become more responsible. Love challenges are possible from March 6-April 17, but April 24 to May 31 is an excellent period for partnering and romance. Career ups and downs are likely. Work is more creative than usual. Finances are stable and steady, and you’re finding it natural to spend wisely, and to invest more in your home and “nest”.
