Aries

 Competition is good for the soul- as long as you have willing and able contenders; pushing family and friends into contests they didn’t sign up for can only result in hurt feelings.  Your ego may cause you to take friendly games further than necessary. Listen to what your significant other has to say about their feelings this week because if you don’t pay attention and act on their needs now, you will regret it later.

Taurus

Those in authority, bosses, professors, senior partners, etc., may be on the warpath this week, and though you may not be their main target, you will still want to stay out of the line of fire. Your show of support for a friend may impress a new admirer; just make sure that you let them know immediately if you are taken to avoid romantic hassles.

Gemini

All of the catching up that you’ve been doing with old friends is great, but be sure that you aren’t ignoring your current social and romantic relationships. Set realistic goals for yourself at this time in business because pushing beyond your limits can set you up for stress and pressure that you don’t need. Serious decisions need to be made about your love life, it’s time to commit or quit and the

Cancer

 After so much hard work and preparation you are finally presented with the opportunities in life that you deserve, but you must not try to take on everything at once.  Start on the projects that take the most time and effort and build from there; it’s your time to shine and everyone will be watching so don’t bite off more than chew. Make sure that you give some extra attention and affection to your sweetheart so that they don’t feel left out while the spotlight is on you this month.

Leo

  A new love affair or flirtation, may have you feeling spellbound but know that it has to stop at some point, and when it does you will be sick, dizzy and literally unsteady on your feet. Resist the urge to make gestures (shared bank account, lease, etc.) that show you are in this permanently because it will take a lot of time and money to extract yourself later. Your friends may be concerned about your health, take the time to listen.

Virgo

You may feel like indulging in a little pleasure, and that can extend to your appetite, which is okay as long as you eat in moderation because extra pounds will come easy at this time.  Pay attention to your personal bookkeeping an overlooked debit or charge may cost you big time later.

Libra

 Try to strike a balance between home and social life; this is tough because everyone needs you and all in different ways. Make time for yourself first so that you can sort your schedule out and come to a fair solution. You may have the same issue with children if you are a single parent- your children may want more alone time with you, think of an activity that you both enjoy.

Scorpio

 Justice prevails in your favor this week in legal and financial sectors- and you will feel vindicated and a little like celebrating with loved ones; have a good time, but keep your next move to yourself for now. Internet dating may not work out at this time. If you decide to sign up anyway, be clear to all you chat with that you are only looking around and not ready to get serious to avoid any hurt feelings.

Sagittarius

 A family situation is spinning out of control and may you feel like running away in frenzy, but try to resist this and stay put for now. You can still plan your escape, but you must be practical to make it a reality. Don’t make major life changes based on your current relationship status- things will be changing very soon, so don’t sign anything yet.

Capricorn

 You need to cut off some dead weight from your life so that you have more time and energy. Look to change your social circle so that you spend time with like-minded people. A  vacation escape is just what you need,  gather some new friends together and get away for a while to relax and unwind.

Aquarius

 It’s time to get back to business and start things fresh and that can mean changing positions within your current office or heading off to something entirely new. You need to make a career change, but your attention has been elsewhere and you need to focus on work at this time. Your love interest may show their childish emotional side this week and it may be very difficult to want to have an adult relationship with this person. Communicate that their demands and stubborn ways are interfering in your intimate time.

 Pisces

You may not be able to hold your feelings inside right now because you are even more sensitive than usual.  Everything around you reminds you of the painful past and it is time to work through these issues for good. The first step is to stop allowing your old wounds to affect your present relationships.  Be truthful with yourself and make sure that you aren’t taking your pain out on those you love because it is much easier and healthier to ask for their support in your healing than using them as emotional punching bags.

Weekly horoscopes for June 10 -16 2013 by Diana Black

Aries

  Taking out your frustrations on the people closest to you may “temporarily “relieve some of your physical tension and mental frustrations, but fighting with your friends and family could damage some of these important relationships “permanently”. Take it easy on the ones you love and take it all out on a punching bag, or play competitive sports with willing and able opponents. Use your good looks and charming ways to beat any romantic rivals that are showing interest in your sweetheart because going into a jealous rage will only give them an advantage; staying confident is the only way to keep your relationship secure.

Taurus

Have your camera phone ready to record any amazing events in your life this week you never know what may happen and you’ll want to be able to record the moment.  A thoughtful gift from a loved one can make you feel like you are on top of the world, not just because they are thinking of you, but because their gift lets you know they truly believe in you. Use your gift wisely to make everyone proud.

Gemini

 Be careful what you say, write and type this week, and to whom, because words may be preserved via voice or video recording or your personal musings on social media may accidentally be made public. This will make it very hard to get out of a tight situation with others when confronted.  Young people in your life (children, neighbors, nieces, nephews) may reveal surprising news about your current romantic partner, and you will have to face the fact that they are not who you thought they were.  Take the time to process this information and find out all of the details before reacting in any way.

Cancer

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we were like animals and never felt sorry for ourselves, well that’s not the case, but we can do something about it, help someone less fortunate! When we feel like having our own pity party, look at someone worse off. This advice may be cliché, but it truly is the best for your situation right now.  Be supportive, and remain secure when your lover takes some time and space to themselves.  Everyone needs some alone time and the soul searching that they are doing can only strengthen your relationship.

Leo

 You may feel like destroying an enemy, you know that it would be easy and would give you a temporary jolt of satisfaction, but it is better to show some restraint. The class and mercy that you show will earn you the attention and respect from your peers.  Your sweetie deserves the best so plan a great weekend just for them to show that you care.  They will feel appreciated and you will feel like a hero when you give them exactly what they’ve been needing.

Virgo

 Your standards of cleanliness are more stringent than most people so try to give others a break if they don’t have the same sensibilities about their environment. Romance can be found in your day to day routines if you pay attention. The cute manager from your local grocery store, or the great guy that owns the car repair shop you use, are all aware of you,  so you need to take the time to notice them.

Libra

If a friend, roommate, or significant romantic partner in your life is making an accounting of your comings and goings it is a strong sign that their control issues have gone too far. Make it clear that this will not work and that you need your space and freedom. Be sure to let others in your life be aware of this just in case things get scary. When faced with an opportunity to make some extra money you need to act fast and get an early start so that you can beat the competition.

Scorpio

New business opportunities will be coming faster than you can process, so be sure to take plenty of time to investigate each one before making any long term commitments. The time that you have been spending on your appearance will pay off when you notice the head turning looks you’ll be getting. Just make sure not to take the attention too far so that you can avoid jealousy issues in your love life.

Sagittarius

You may have felt a little lonely lately, but after so much time on your own you have the self knowledge, patience, and worldly wisdom needed to achieve anything that you desire. Not much exertion is needed to start your next journey; just one step can make the difference so make sure that it is in the right direction. If you are having doubts about your romantic feelings it is better to wait until you are sure before committing to a new relationship.

Capricorn

 Work meetings with superiors will be become less stressful because they will finally accept that you are finally becoming one of “them “. You have paid your dues and have attained all of the experience you need so now you must stand up for yourself and make sure that you are getting the respect and compensation that you deserve. Waiting for Cupid to suddenly knock on your door only ensures a lot of lonely nights. It’s time to get back in the game and make yourself available on the dating scene.

Aquarius

 You may feel incredibly frustrated with your romantic and family life due to others moving too slow or being too stubborn for their own good right now, but trying to force a loved one to act before they are ready can lead to resentment and that can ruin a good thing. See this as an exercise in patience and focus on your own career and academic interests until they are ready to make a move.

Pisces

 Not everyone is willing to share your attention right now, and children and lovers may act out in order to get more from you.  Do what you can to make others feel special, and remember that everyone just wants to be close to you, but don’t allow anyone to force to give more than you have to give. Stay on budget this week so that you aren’t struggling later on in the month.

Pisces- Stay on your guard because  you may be more vulnerable than usual to being persuaded or misguided by others that would take advantage of you- just because something or someone is shiny and smooth doesn’t mean they are worth having or are incapable of doing you harm.  Don’t give false hope to an unsuitable admirer at work; they may mistake your kindness for flirtation causing all kinds of business and personal problems.

Aries

Though you’ll have an abundance of energy this week there may not be anything to do. Your usually busy social schedule may free up, but friends may be busy and weather could prevent you from enjoying your favorite activities. Try getting some work done around the home; it’s a good idea to clean out your closets and redecorate your space. Buying and selling on the internet, as long as you use a trusted, secure site are good way to make and save money at this time

Taurus

Your intuition is spot on and there is not a lot that you’ll miss so use this time to gather information to use later when major decisions are at hand.

If they don’t get the attention that they need there could be a lot of misunderstandings and resentment that could last throughout the summer.

 You could exhaust your business and recreational budget if you are not mindful about your spending. Having a great time now is favored, but you must try to curb any temptation to dip into important resources that you may need later.

Think twice about switching jobs at this time; something big is about to happen so wait until the summer to make any major career moves.

Leo

 Idle hands are the devil’s playthings and this is especially true for you right now because friends and family may be unavailable.  Line up some plans for recreational activity because if you get lonely, or bored, you may decide to revisit old friends or lovers that could end up getting you into trouble once again.  Double check all contracts that you sign this week for clerical errors that can cost you time and money later.

Virgo

Aquarius

 Though last minute cancellations may leave you disappointed, it will turn out for the best in the end when you find something better waiting for you.  It can be frustrating when your romantic partner doesn’t read your signals clearly, but you must understand that they just don’t speak your language. Try to get through to them on their level. 

Pisces

 It’s time to get real when it comes to a friends’ or lovers’ betrayal. Keeping the peace will not work because your passive aggressive tendencies will take over and you could do something you may regret later. Confrontation may be uncomfortable, but it is the only way that you’ll get the information you need.  You may be able to get away with a nasty power play at work, but it won’t win you any allies either; think twice before burning bridges with coworkers.

Unexpected gifts from grateful friends will let you know that your past efforts are appreciated.

Taurus

  There is a lot of planetary activity going on in your sign including a solar eclipse on May 9, 2013.  This signifies that changes to your life must be made and your lack of flexibility can hinder this process. Spending some time    being around people may be extra important at this time to give you the proper perspective to make major life choices. Romantic partners can demand commitments that you may not be ready to make; don’t allow anyone to emotionally blackmail you into signing on for anything more serious or permanent if you are not ready. Equipment failures and power outages on the job can cause major delays so make sure that you are prepared for any issues that may arise.

Gemini

Venus slips into your sign May 9 , 2013 shortly before the solar eclipse in Taurus, so get ready to enjoy , and reserve some energy for, all of the comings and goings and invitations that springtime brings you. But don’t limit yourself by rejecting an interesting new person based just because of their initial appearance; things and people are not always as they appear to be- go beyond the surface before making any judgments you will regret later when you have more information.

Cancer

  When a friend that tests your boundaries finally goes over the line this week you will have no choice but to erase them from your best buddy list, but to be fair you did warn them! This may be painful, but very necessary if you are going to reclaim your own energy.  Business ideas for yourself and your loved ones keep popping into your mind and you must wrote them down right away so that you can pursue them later when you have more time to implement them practically.

Leo

 Everyone wants and needs your resources and energy and your generous nature finds it hard to say no, but you need to concentrate on making positive changes in your own life first, before you can help others. Let others know you care about them but that you just don’t have the energy to spare at this time and will be there for them as soon as you are back at full strength. Love letters from the past can come back to haunt you this week. If you are holding on to mementos of lost loves it may be time to let them go for the sake of your current and future relationships.

Virgo

 Your usually critical and analytical thinking may be affected by emotions that you didn’t even know that you had are coming up from your core. You may need to take a step back from your daily routines and ask for some help or advice from friends and family and take the time to care for and comfort yourself. This is not the time to make any major life decisions; try to delay any important relationship, career or financial choices until next week when you are more capable and have had a chance to absorb the release of emotional energy and your vision will be much clearer.

Libra

Friends and lovers will be competing for your attention this week and it is very important that you try not to show any favoritism towards any one person in order to avoid jealous feelings. Enjoy how much everyone loves you, but try to recognize that with so many people vying for face time with you there is only so much of you to go around, and someone is going to get left out by time constraints and will feel rejected.  Know that this is not your fault, and while you should be kind, try not to absorb any of their negativity.

Scorpio

Think very carefully before committing to any new relationships at this time whether it be a friendly, a romantic or a business partnership. Over the next few weeks your options will expand and you could regret settling if you enter into any sort of contract at this time.  Conversations with family members can reveal some surprises; new information about the past can change your life direction and allow you to set a aside old feelings of guilt and rejection.  Use the energy that is freed up in this process to push along existing projects and plans.

Sagittarius

 It is time to ask for help with any old legal issues; you need an expert to help put things in proper order and perspective. It will be worth the cost in the end to get the best advice you can possibly obtain.  Co workers are unlikely to be helpful and accommodating this time, so if you need some support, go straight to your supervisor or boss even if that means letting them know that you are in over your head. A flirtation that starts off sweet can end on a sour note when you realize they are not telling the truth about their current relationship status. Take the time to really get to know anyone that you find interesting before getting too close.

Capricorn

  Sometimes rules need to change in order to make life more manageable and practical, but may be extra resistant. Innovation can be combined with tradition so try to find a balance that makes you and your work more comfortable and efficient.  You are in demand in your social circle, and it may be difficult to choose which of the many invitations you will be receiving to accept. Try to take advantage of the burst of popularity, but don’t spread yourself too thin, because you never know when you may feel like having to time to yourself and possibly a new and attractive person entering your life.

Aquarius

 There may be a lot of role changes in your family relationships at this time. Parents may become more dependent because of illness, injury, or age and your older siblings and other relatives that have been parental and supportive to in the past you may need your assistance. Give what you can, but leave some time and energy for yourself because major career decisions are on your horizon as your hard work finally be noticed and you will soon enjoy the wealth of career options before you, and all of the headaches that go along with them

Pisces

You need to be clear about your intentions if you get involved in a close friends’ romantic life, if you come on too strong they may think that you are being controlling even if you are just looking out for their best interests. Be supportive and try to direct their energy into postive relationships instead of trying to force them out of the wrong ones. Your health issues may be minor but they are still important to your loved ones, so be honest about your ailments so they can assist you in whatever you need to be healthy.

Taurus Solar Eclipse May 9, 2013

 The solar eclipse and New Moon occur Thursday May 9, 2013 at 19 degrees Taurus, which is the sign of patience and endurance, its energy is fixed and hard change, tenacious, steadfast, and solid are all good Taurean adjectives. Taurus is also the home of the second house in the natural zodiac which rules our personal financial holdings and resources. This is occurring while the Sun, Mars and Mercury and the south node, an important point in the sky that sky that represents holding on to issue and patterns from the past, and the asteroid Pallas. 

This eclipse will open the door to change, and we must adjust, which unfortunately will be much more difficult under the stubborn sign of the bull, because it is coming whether we are ready or not.  Issues of finances, self-esteem, comfort and sharing with others will be highlighted at this time. Venus, Taurus’ ruling planet, enters Gemini just a few hours before the eclipse. Venus is very sociable and communicative in Gemini, we can expect to hear from and seek out reunions with long lost loved ones which will give us new information about the past.

With Saturn transiting retrograde opposite to this eclipse and new moon in the sign of Scorpio we may be come face to face or at least into contact by phone or email, with people and issues that were important in our lives back in 1994. Eclipses go in cycles and this one is bringing back around the consequences of choices that we may have made at that time.

To gain more insight into how and where this eclipse will affect you personally look to your second house, the house where Taurus falls in your chart, and the sign and house that contains your natal Venus, this will give you, or your personal astrologer, the information you need to maximize the potential of this energy and the caution about the particular pitfalls that you should prepare for, or if possible, with the use of astrological knowledge, avoid all together.

Weekly Horoscopes for April 26- May 3, 2013 by Diana Black

Aries- You will finally get a little break in the action, and you really need it after going full steam ahead for so long. Use this time to reflect on all that has happened to you lately, and make adjustments where needed. If you are re-thinking any romantic commitments that you have recently made, it is much better to get any unpleasant breakups over right now; waiting will only complicate issues further and make it all more painful for everyone involved.

Taurus- There is no time to rest, and work and social opportunities just won’t stop coming your way, but it is best to prioritize events and make a schedule so that you don’t double book your calendar and miss something important through oversight.  Spending some time on romance may be almost impossible, so leave a little note, or give a little gift so your sweetheart knows how you feel even when you can’t near them.

Gemini- Business has been going so well you may not have had the time to stop and look around or   to take proper care of yourself, so set aside some time over the weekend to attend to your own needs. A trip to a spa or salon can offer the pampering that you need and deserve.  Postpone any legal dealings you may have until next week so that delays and clerical errors don’t add more complications.

Cancer- Good fortune will be smiling on you and your benefits will come from the home and hearth. Loved ones will be more willing than ever to show their appreciation for all that you have done, so let them honor you. It may be difficult to separate finance and romance this week; keep your wallet closed for now and allow others to pay your way.

Leo- You may feel a little more lonely than usual this week, but it will pass quickly, so use this time to have a dialogue with yourself and explore where you may need to make personal changes. Workplace politics may seem more difficult to navigate right now, but you can use your people skills to come out ahead, just be sure to compliment others and show your appreciation and you will stay out of the line of fire.

Virgo- You must follow your gut instincts on the job this week because you won’t get the right information from anyone else; trust yourself and use your own critical judgment.  A serious talk with a romantic partner can reveal some feelings that you didn’t know they had about you so take the time listen and understand.

Libra- It is in your best interest to wait until next week to make any important choices because it will be difficult to read the signals of others clearly.

Aries- Try not to take others’ attitudes and nasty comments personally this week. Your dynamic energy may make some people feel that they aren’t good enough, but that is their problem, not yours, so just try to stay away from them unless they ask for your help or advice.   Even the most loving and sincerest relationships go through tests and trials, and this is the case with you at this time. You can get through it by being considerate and sticking by commitments.
