The Astrology of Today - All Signs

May 23, 2013

The ability to keep our emotions on the inside today may be a strategy that turns out to be most successful with the Moon in Scorpio all day, and harmonizing with Scorpio's ruler, Pluto, midday. We might find a lost item, find a new use for an old item (or even person), or discover connections to our past that help us out today. We have the desire to get to the bottom of matters. All that is hidden, taboo, secret, or suppressed interests us. The Moon in Scorpio's energy is provocative in a quiet way, as well as passionate, strong-willed, and intense. It can be an immensely healing and transformative energy, and this can be most apparent around the Moon's trine to Chiron this afternoon.

This Week in Astrology

This Month: Sagittarius

May 2013

While work and mundane matters take center stage in the first few weeks of May, social matters begin to come into focus from the 9th. Attention to detail on the job and around the home is important this month, even if your mind is wandering. Organizing the little things will go a long way towards a stronger sense of accomplishment. You can work longer hours than usual, or push harder in health and fitness routines. While the Solar Eclipse on the 9th can bring new energy into your daily routines, and new work or work projects altogether for some of you, it can also temporarily drain you if you are pushing yourself beyond your limits. There can be some challenges with money (and love) around the 20th, when an ongoing problem resurfaces. A Lunar Eclipse occurs in your sign on the 24th, and this can bring a personal or relationship to a head. This can point to a significant culmination in your life, as it is the last in a series of eclipses in Sagittarius and your opposing sign, Gemini, that began December 2010. The 27-28 can be powerful for attracting or enhancing a close relationship.

This Year: Sagittarius

2013 Yearly Horoscope Overview

While close relationships are in strong focus this year, Sagittarians in 2013 tend to be a little more private and introspective than usual. You might meet somebody who deepens your intimate life in wonderful ways, opening you up to new ways of expressing yourself intimately; or those of you who are already attached might deepen their relationship similarly. New depths (and heights) can be experienced now and add to your inner glow. Love matters should be quite strong this year, with significant partnerships a great focus. Partnerships fare better than more casual love relationships, the latter being a bit of a wild card in your life right now, as it was last year. Single Sagittarians can be meeting some exciting and unusual people, but permanency is in question. People may come and go, or your own tastes may vacillate. Money matters are significantly improved compared to recent years. Even so, you may be downsizing with personal possessions and going through restructuring, possibly putting some business projects to rest. You can be very resourceful when it comes to recycling or using what you already own in different ways. The sale of some possessions can figure strongly, or you might find unique products to sell and market. Creative Sagittarians are breaking out of ruts and exploring highly unique or alternative art forms. Many of you are exploring new hobbies or different forms of recreation and entertainment. Dreams may be troubling at times, as some of you could be wrestling with guilt or lack of closure when it comes to matters of the past. It will be of enormous benefit if you can settle these matters, because if they are left to fester, they can undermine your progress. Financial support in the form of loans or shared resources tends to be easier to come by in the second half of the year, but it will be important to watch your borrowing habits. Many of you are thinking about your dream home or idyllic domestic conditions, and your chances of turning at least some of your dreams into a reality are strong, particularly in July. There can be good publicity this year, and your ability to meet others halfway (and often further) tends to open up social possibilities and opportunities. You are generous by nature with your ruling planet expansive Jupiter. With Jupiter moving through two sectors of your chart associated with partners and close friends, you are directing much of this generosity to significant others. Enjoy yourself as you do, but watch for overblown expectations or promises that may be hard to keep at a later date.

This Year in Love: Sagittarius

2013 Love Horoscope for Sagittarius

Major players affecting your romance and partnership sectors this year are your own ruler, Jupiter, and Uranus, dear Sagittarius. 

With Uranus in your romance sector for many years, there will be times when the more positive elements to the planet's influence are stronger, and other periods when the more negative elements of Uranus' influence are experienced. This has a lot to do with the aspects Uranus is making in any given year, and also to do with your own working of the energies.

Uranus has the effect of speeding up our lives, endowing us with more courage but also powerful impulses. There is a need for change and this can seem to come from within, or can be felt to originate from without. You might feel that a particular area of life has become too humdrum, too boring, or too routine, and have a strong desire to effect change. If you are not in touch with this, however, it can feel as if others are pushing changes on you.

Applying all of this energy to your romances, we know that this area of your life is a bit of a wild card. In 2013, changes can be very abrupt, as Uranus is forming some difficult aspects. There is some need to release you from the past, and this can seem extreme at times. You may be more attracted to people who personify Uranus in certain ways: they may be free-spirited, individualistic, and possibly even eccentric on a romantic level. Or, you could attract these types of people into your experience. Communication can be a major key when it comes to making romantic connections, and many of you could be experimenting with online dating. There can be new forms of recreation and entertainment that interest you this year. Love interests may come and go in sudden ways, seemingly out of the blue. You can be very impulsive when it comes to starting or ending romantic relationships.

Committed partnerships tend to play out better than casual love affairs this year. Jupiter's presence in your partnership sector until mid-year can bring helpful, happy people into your life. Commitments tend to be easier to make, and those that don't work anymore might effectively be replaced with happier ones. Opportunities for partnering are stronger than usual.

While Uranus in your fifth house brings a rather experimental approach to love, Jupiter moving through your eighth house in the second half of the year (and into 2014) tends to bring more ease to the deeper aspects of any love relationship. You are more natural and open when it comes to sharing yourself on intimate levels. Your intimate life can feel richer and more rewarding. While some Sagittarians will be playing a little more in their love lives in 2013, others will be slowing down and enjoying the more languid moments. There can be someone who helps open you up to new ways of relating. Your private life may feel like a magical secret garden at times during this transit.

When the ruler of your romance sector, Mars, travels through your romance sector, this can bring fun experiences into your life. In 2013, this occurs from March 12-April 20. Mars in your partnership sector from May 31-July 13 can stimulate (and sometimes over-stimulate) a close relationship.
