A Jupiter/Chiron angle can make us feel a bit uneasy over the next few days. We feel as though we might be outsiders – a little bit different from everyone else today. It’s as though a light is being cast upon our weak spots. Nevertheless, the joining of forces between the Sun and a star will urge us to focus on our quest in life, and even though the path may be rough, and we may be taking a risk by following it, today is the day that we can put aside our fears and continue onward. Mars also figures prominently in our day with its joining of forces to a star. Male energy provokes aggression, desire, and heightened physical strength.

The Word of the Day is VIGILANCE. We should not only think about things that might happen, but we should prepare and be on the lookout for them.

The Color of the Day is GREEN. (It’s the pure secondary color – a perfect blend of blue and yellow.) Wear something green to calm eruptions that might pop up throughout the day.

Because yesterday’s Jupiter/Chiron aspect is still in effect, we feel as though we have to get used to new situations. But with today’s planetary aspects to various stars, we’ll be excited for what’s to come. We’ll feel like we can power-through dark areas to get to well-lit paths to the future. Because retrograde Mercury has been in an ongoing aspect to the star Procyon, we may veer of the expected course in search of new roads to success. With the Mars/Mirfak aspect, we’ll muster up energy to make the merge onto that highway. People will try to influence our decisions, but the Saturn/star angle will have us stand our ground. Today’s Moon in Aquarius will make us more accepting of unusual situations.

The Word of the Day is SKILL. We feel as though our expertise in many areas can be utilized to our benefit.

The Color of the Day is CLARET. (It’s dark, glossy red.) Strength and power are ours today is we wear something in the color of claret wine.

The Moon will be void-of-course for most of the day in Aquarius, directing innovation and desire to do things differently. If we let our minds wander freely without the restrictions of schedules and appointments, we will be more likely to enjoy insights that we would never have thought of under normal circumstances. Adding to this, we have a wonderfully revitalizing aspect today from Mars to Uranus. It will be a day to either create something using our physical strength, or to get out and enjoy the fun of adventure. This will energize us over the next several days. In the background, Neptune has been in long-term aspects to Uranus and Pluto that continue to guide us to become aware of the vastness of our potential.

The Word of the Day is UNFETTER. Liberate ourselves in thought and action today.

The Color of the Day is ZAFFRE. (It’s dark blue.) Dive into doing things our own way today, with the help of the color of the pigment Zaffre.

During the past few days, we’ve been striving toward our objectives with focus and force. But, we’ve also wanted to break free of old ways of doing things. The Mars/Uranus conjunction continues to energize our lives and will fill our day with freedom-loving action! The Moon will be in Pisces today. It’s not an innovative sign, but one that sees beyond outdated beliefs and disperses our energies in various imaginative directions. Also, there’ll be moments throughout the day today when we can take a glimpse inside at what we perceive to be our own identities and be able to create a modernized image of ourselves that we’ll want to start living up to. This is because of an unusual angle between the Sun and the asteroid, Chiron.

The Word of the Day is NOTICE. Be aware of the recent changes in our lives.

The Color of the Day is COAL. (It’s shiny black.) Wear a bit of the color of coal today. It’s energetic and true.

The three outermost planets, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto have been interacting with each other on and off over the past couple of years. Today, the travels of Mars, the planet that controls our use of energy and how we spend our time, will reveal their effects. The Uranus/Neptune angle demolishes boundaries to the point where laws and rules we’ve lived with continue to be questioned and challenged. Pluto is involved. It is the planet that throws things out that are not working in our lives and transforms our situations to fit us. Thus, today will be a great day for figuring out optimal use of our energies. The Sun and Saturn will also contribute by urging us to take our time a bit more seriously.

The Word of the Day is SENSOR. Send feelers out today to gather information that will lead to the best path for success.

The Color of the Day is POWDER WHITE. (It’s off-white.) Scatter thoughts that will later coagulate by wearing powder white today.

Neptune will be retrograde from today until December. Each of us wants to make a perfect life for ourselves, and from the end of last year until now we have redefined our ideal situation. Over the next half-year, we will work towards making those inspirations come true and see how well they actually fit into our daily existence and help us to grow. Because Neptune is still in aspect to Pluto, spirituality and power become intertwined. People who want to impose their belief systems on others are met with rebellion. But for today, with the Sun/Saturn aspect still in effect and the Moon in the assertive sign Aries, we might find ourselves gritting our teeth and bearing our responsibilities.

The Word of the Day is REDEFINE. Changing attitudes permeate the atmosphere of the day. We want to ensure that we conduct our lives in the manners that suit us the best.

The Color of the Day is ROSE. (It’s pink darkened by a dash of blue.) We want to make contact with our subconscious and have a good look at our dreams today. The rose color will help us access our inner vision.

Because many of our engrained habits and beliefs have become obliterated over the past couple of years, we realize that we can’t move forward using the same roads. The Uranus/Neptune/Pluto interaction has given us freedom from certain regulations. Whether this is good or unfortunate depends on our own beliefs. Our ravaged political systems will need to recover, but it is going to take time to convince others of the best way and then to blaze new trails. It’s interesting that while our government has spiraled down, use of AI has simultaneously come into play. Some people have embraced its use, while others see it as a malevolent scourge. Today’s Moon in Aries will give us the vitality and hope to muster up the energy we need to lessen the gap.

The Word of the Day is INCENTIVE. Goals and dreams leap into action today. We’re directed toward achievement.

The Color of the Day is ACORN. (It’s glossy light brown.) Wearing the color of acorns will attract today’s diverse powers.

The configuration of the planets today is such that Pluto becomes a leading force. Whether you want to call Pluto a planet or not, it is definitely influential. It guides us to take a look at things that don’t fit in our lives anymore and to transform them into a more livable situation. Mercury is in aspect to Gemini’s star Pollux today, stimulating intellect, so today will be a day filled with scheming thoughts, brimming with ideas about how we can do things better and get through situations more easily, with greater outcomes. The Moon will move away from Aries, the sign that directs us to act impulsively, to Taurus, the sign that wants us to show some love and ease.

The Word of the Day is REVISE. Consider changes that need to be made to create a more successful path.

The Color of the Day is BLACK OLIVE. (It’s smooth black.) Wearing something in the color of black olives today will help us find an undercurrent to glide through rough patches.

Venus will be changing signs today, so it will not be an especially good day to try and forge any new relationships. However, over the next month, while Venus transits Virgo, we will be presented with opportunities to be choosy about what we want to have and do, that will make ourselves feel good. If things are not quite perfect in our love lives, this will be the time for us to fix them. As soon as Venus changes signs, it will be in aspect to Saturn. This will increase our awareness of what we have to take care of, so that we can feel good about ourselves. Maybe we have to spend some money on other people to best enjoy the day.

The Word of the Day is SELECTIVE. Venus has entered the discerning sign Virgo, and we take time to care for things and people.

The Color of the Day is AVOCADO. (It’s light green.) Details of relationships will be more evident today if we wear something in the color of avocado.

The guides that rule comfort, money, and security work together today to create an enjoyable day. A couple of times a year Venus is trine the asteroid Chiron for a day or two. This soothing aspect that colors our day is one that we should notice and take advantage of. Relationships that we might have thought were facing challenges will easily be restored if we make them a priority. Venus rules the sign Taurus, that the Moon will be void-of-course for nearly 13 hours. This will offer opportunities to dream up ways to enhance our environments or to just feel contented and relaxed. People may feel snagged by the opinions of others, and may want to go off the path planned for them today.

The Word of the Day is EXTRAVAGANCE. Pamper ourselves in lavish indulgence today.

The Color of the Day is TURBO YELLOW. (It’s bright yellow.) Catch some of the spirited attitude of the day by wearing something in the charged-up color, turbo yellow.

The Moon is going to be void-of-course for 24 hours starting today. Before we shop or make a schedule for the day, it would be a good idea to check the Astrological Events page on Shooting Star Astrology.com for its hours in your time zone because the void-of-course Moon will sidetrack us. Discussions may last longer than usual because this condition is in Gemini, the sign that instigates conversations. Even if we spend the day alone with our own thoughts, our minds will be rife with ideas and distractions. Nonetheless, we’re going to want to be in motion because of a Mars/star aspect. Also, Venus is making an angle to Jupiter that makes us want to pamper ourselves and our families today.

The Word of the Day is SILKINESS. Let thoughts and actions flow together today.

The Color of the Day is PASTEL PURPLE. (It’s light purple with pinkish undertones.) Warm the day with gentle color, wearing something with pastel purple in it.

The Moon continues its void-of-course condition for much of the day in most of the world. We could use the time to think of new approaches to the way we live. For example, today the Moon will void-of-course in the Mercury-ruled sign Gemini. It will be a perfect opportunity to express our thoughts in a different manner. However, we have another week and a half of Mercury being retrograde. With its conjunction to the Sun today, we won’t be getting any new perspective on how we view the world. So, either we’ll see things from a more narrow standpoint (in which case, it will be best not to try to argue a point with anyone), or we’ll be better able to focus.

The Word of the Day is CAUTION. Stay alert to make thoughtful judgments today.

The Color of the Day is SAHARA. (It’s sandy orange.) Wear the color of the great desert, Sahara, today to have our thoughts and inner drive work well together.

We’re going to feel as though big changes are coming our way today. An important astrological angle called a yod has formed. This happens when two planets that are in an angle to each other make an angle to another planet. So that we can get the most benefit, we have to give up what we want to get from the third planet, or make serious adjustments or sacrifices to fit it all in. The ongoing Neptune/Pluto sextile causes people to advocate for their own beliefs. But Venus, as the third planet, may confuse what we perceive and what is real. The impending changes may be so overwhelming that we may want to step back from or out of a situation.

The Word of the Day is COAST. Glide beyond everyday pressure to take some time to get away today.

The Color of the Day is CELERY. (It’s very light green.) Invite some stress-free moments today, by wearing something in the color celery.

The New Moon occurs today with the conjunction of the Sun and Moon in the sign Cancer! The New Moon is always a wonderful time for starting new projects, planting, beginning a vacation or any other endeavors that require fresh starts. Any seeds planted at the time of the New Moon have a better chance of thriving. The New Moon in the sign Cancer carries the added bonus of creating awareness of what needs to be done in order to fulfill ourselves emotionally. The Moon will be void-of-course for twelve hours after the New Moon occurs before it enters Leo. We could use this time to gather our thoughts and to formulate plans for the upcoming month.

The Word of the Day is CLINCH. Confirm new plans and start movement toward getting them into gear today!

The Color of the Day is LIGHT CREAM (It’s off-white.) Wear the glossy color of fresh light cream today to illuminate the way to new beginnings!

A lot of long void-of-course Moon periods will be coming up over the next few months. Since the outer planet connections have shifted the atmosphere, we have to get used to different ways of life. Our daily habits are changing. Many people will embrace technological innovation that will make their lives easier, while being more productive. We’ll have more free time. The void-of-course Moon periods will allow us to indulge our curiosities and learn things that we may have dreamed about. People may develop far-reaching skills and become interested in perfecting life as we now know it. We’ll handle making choices with pride and conviction today, since the Moon is traveling through the self-confident sign Leo. You may check the Astrological Events page on ShootingStarAstrology.com to see when today’s void-of-course period starts in your time zone.

The Word of the Day is GLINT. Sparkle, taking advantage of today’s liveliness!

The void-of-course Moon period that started yesterday continues. It is best not to try to stick to a schedule rigidly when the Moon is void-of-course because we like to explore things we may have missed. When the Moon enters a sign, it makes angles to the other planets. After the last aspect has taken effect and the Moon can make no more angles in that sign, it is said to be void-of-course while it travels to the next sign. This time, the Moon made all of its angles early-on. No matter what we plan, there may be a snag or two we have to deal with today. But the Moon is in the sign Leo, and we’ll feel confident in veering away from what we had intended to do.

The Word of the Day is ASSURE. Move ahead with certainty today.

The Color of the Day is CATALINA BLUE. (It’s a dark, deep blue.) Feel as though we can sail in any direction today, wearing something in Catalina Blue.

We feel steadier today, now that the Moon has entered the earth sign Virgo, which will make us a little bit more discerning than usual. We will also experience a beautiful Jupiter to Neptune transit that will awaken the compassionate side of personalities that are not normally inclined towards kindness, and smooth rough edges for the people who are naturally benevolent. This aspect is going to be in effect for more than a week. We could take advantage of this time to approach others with any plans that we think would create some sort of unselfish benefit. Since Jupiter is now involving itself with the outer planet connections, we’re going to transform more than one area of our lives over the next couple of weeks.

The Word of the Day is LOGIC. Today’s horoscope promotes improvement and makes us want to strategize for moving forward.

The Color of the Day is STONE. (It’s a shiny, light gray.) If we find something in our wardrobe to wear today in the color of stone, we will attract the loving power of the Moon.

Considering that Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are continuing their interactions with each other, we’re finding new ways to deal with certain aspects of our societal and cultural changes. Jupiter’s involvement will intensify these effects. This could be eye-opening because the ongoing outer-planet aspects continue to gain power over something we’ve created that lurks in the shadows, while we’re busy trying to control something the spotlight shines on. We need to be aware of not only what is right in front of us, but what has been growing in the background over the past year. For ease in this endeavor, the Sun will be connected to the star Procyon today, offering us spurts of opportunities and chances that may be quite lucky!

The Word of the Day is ENGAGE. This will be a great day to interact well with people.

The Color of the Day is PAPAYA. (It’s a pale orange.) Capitalize on opportunities today, wearing something in the refreshing color Papaya.

Because Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are so interconnected right now, their change-enforcing influence dominates the atmosphere. Jupiter is also going to be at an angle to this connection. Tensions have been coming to a head, and we realize that big changes have to be made so that we can evolve in a progressive manner. This will point out the areas of our lives that need to become sophisticated. People aren’t going to put up with ideas that advancing society has outgrown, and they’re going to do something about it. Today’s Mars/Saturn aspect will direct us towards scheduling for optimal use of time. With the Moon in Libra, we’ll try to balance dreams and responsibilities.

The Word of the Day is UPDATE. With the assistance of today’s astrological angles, we can make renovations that will streamline our lives.

The Color of the Day is CROW. (It’s black with blue highlights.) Attract the potent energy of today’s horoscope by wearing the color of the crow to be better able to make flourishing changes.

Jupiter, the planet that enlarges situations, will continue making its effects known throughout the week. We’re going to be experiencing the consequences of an angle that only happens three times in 12 years. That is that Jupiter will oppose Pluto. With this, we look seriously at what we want and make a sincere drive to get it. The caveat is that in their enthusiasm, people may be so focused on their quest for power that they disregard their own manners and rules of society. Fortunately, an angle between Mars and Saturn will also show itself more in the forefront of our lives. Throughout the coming week, and especially today, we will talk about plans and possibly take some productive action.

The Word of the Day is ADAPT. We are guided to look beneath the surface and reform to fit our growing situations.

The Color of the Day is EGGPLANT. (It’s a very dark purple.) Our intuitive aptitude will increase if we bring our sensitivity to the surface by wearing a bit of the color eggplant today.

This is a week of a lot of changes. While the outer planets continue to interact with each other setting our background complexity, the Sun and Mercury are readying themselves for change. Because the Sun will be spending its last day in the sign Cancer until next year, we’ll begin to shift our focuses away from home, family, and the roots of our lives, and more towards self-expression. Now that we’re two days from Mercury going direct, and being able to feel like we are looking to the future instead of reflecting on the past, it is a day to finish airing out differences within relationships and creating a solid foundation upon which to stand so we can move ahead.

The Word of the Day is REVIEW. Settling our past projects will be a good way to spend our day today.

The Color of the Day is SWIMMING POOL BLUE. (It’s bluer than aqua.) Wearing a bit of the color of swimming pool blue will keep our day flowing in a positive direction.

The Sun enters the sign Leo today, where it shines brightest for each of us. Over the next month we are going to focus more upon ourselves and what we want from life. When we consider our own needs (as opposed to the needs of others), we are then able to act aggressively and happily with the knowledge that we are doing the best we can. Our greatest fulfillment will come from expressing ourselves completely. It will inspire our natural focus on our own creations and ego indulgences. We want to make sure we don’t try to move ahead today however, because the Moon will start a 27-hour void-of-course period, and Mercury will still be retrograde until tomorrow.

The Word of the Day is ZING. We blaze along without the restraint or consideration of sentiment today.

The Color of the Day is SCHOOL BUS YELLOW. (It’s orangey yellow!) Complimenting the burning energy of the Sun in Leo, we triumph if we can find something in school bus yellow in our closet or jewelry box to add to our outfit today!

At what seems like long last, Mercury will be going direct today. We can now expect to receive the important communications we’ve been waiting for. Those of us who experience mechanical failures during retrograde Mercury periods will find some relief from the past few weeks’ difficulties. Still, there is a bit more straightening out to be done before we forge ahead. Mercury is not moving ahead at full force yet, so if we can wait until tomorrow to sign contracts, we’ll be happier in the long run. As Mercury turns direct, it will be making an angle Venus today that makes us want to think about pleasant things, and have nice conversations with people. We strive to do things in the most comfortable manner possible.

The Word of the Day is REPRIEVE. Give ourselves a break today before questing onward.

The Color of the Day is VERONA GREEN. (It’s an earthy, olive color.) If we wear some of the natural earth pigment called Verona green today, we can calm the mystification of today’s horoscope.

Now that Mercury is no longer retrograde, we begin to look at the effects that the outer planet connections have been causing in the background of our lives. We’ve done enough study of how we handled situations like this in the past, and are now ready to make decisions about our future. It’s going to be a day when we feel like we’re expecting something to happen. Throughout the coming week, the Sun and Venus will be moving toward an angle to each other that gives relationships some unforeseen quirks. We won’t know exactly how to prepare for the events that unfold, so we’re going to have to ride the waves. Today’s Moon in Sagittarius will push us forward with good intentions.

The Word of the Day is FLUCTUATE. To be able to make changes that fit the shapes of our lives will be our best way to progress today.

The Color of the Day is VELLUM. (It’s off-white.) Wear the color of the paper vellum today to attract all of the necessary tools to make the best alterations.

There has been an ongoing aspect between Neptune and Pluto that calls our attention to human rights. People have been striving for social change and awareness, which has been slow-coming, but effective. Since Neptune and Pluto are both retrograde right now, it is a prolonged situation that requires diligence and taking cues from what has worked to solve this in the past. The Moon will begin a 23-hour void-of-course period today in the sign Sagittarius, which will add to the excitement of doing something that we feel good about. Sagittarius is a fire sign that speaks its mind. This will be a perfect opportunity to behave differently, so that we can get around obstacles that might be blocking our growth.

The Word of the Day is SNOWBALL. Build momentum to make our actions successful today.

This may prove to be a volatile day. Pluto is being aspected by angles from the Sun, Venus, Mars, Uranus, and Neptune. The Sun’s angle to it will create one of those days during which our attempts to forge ahead may be blocked, so we have to stop and get rid of the obstruction. Fortunately, we will be able to see exactly what it is, so that we can focus on the transformation of that one thing. With the Venus angle, we’ll need to pay attention. Otherwise, we may end up obsessing about taking charge of things that may not be within our control. The Mars angle could get us into trouble if we are impulsive or expose ourselves to unnecessary hazards.

The Word of the Day is RECOGNIZE. See how things are today.

All last week, the Sun, Venus, and Mars have been moving into angles to each other that give relationships some unexpected quirks. Things may happen that we were not prepared for. We will be urged to clear up any rough spots. If we remember to listen with tact, honesty, and consideration, we may be pleasantly surprised at the progress we make. However, aggression and tempers will be heightened. Be wary of situations that can involve release of anger. A better option would be to use the excess energy constructively to get things done. In addition, the Moon will be void-of-course for a long time again today. We could make the best of it by clearing schedules and following where life leads us!

The Word of the Day is STAMINA. With our reactions under control, we take charge of the day keeping our energy consistent.

Today we have Venus square Mars, an action-producing angle that happens every so often and causes us to voice our opinions on the state of our relationships. We might be involved in heated discussions with people whom we most care about. Arguments are necessary growth-producing processes that propel us into the next phase of relationships. Without the squares from Venus to Mars a couple of times per year we would probably not become aware of the development of certain emotional associations. Good karmic relationships will get a necessary jolt. Poor relationships will become aware of the need to move on to split paths. The Sun will also be in aspect to Jupiter starting today. This will give us opportunities to advance ourselves.

The Word of the Day is TRUE. We are guided to expect more of ourselves today. So we should remember to stay on the path to success.

The Color of the Day is BILOBA. (It’s light purple.) Wear the color Biloba today to attract strength and optimism.

The Sun in Leo will oppose the Moon in Aquarius creating a FULL MOON! Both Aquarius and Leo are what we call “fixed” signs, meaning that they represent the least amount of change, the purest characteristics of the zodiac. For example: Cancer represents the beginning of summer (in the northern hemisphere)- it has some characteristics of spring; Virgo represents the end of summer – it has some characteristics of fall. But Leo is all summer. Aquarius is all winter. This gives us great staying power. The blending of Aquarius and Leo works well, because Aquarius likes to be innovative and different, and Leo will show it off. So, guided by this Full Moon, over the next month, the changes that we make will be ego fulfilling and progressive.

The Word of the Day is COMPLETE. The Full Moon burns brightly and thoroughly, directing us to work on projects with enthusiasm.

The energy from yesterday’s Full Moon lingers, especially since Jupiter is still conjunct the Sun. This is stimulating our focus on learning about things that might not have been accessible to us previously, or that we weren’t interested in until now. This particularly pertains to technology and other forms of science. Over the next couple of weeks, we’re going to be processing what we’ve been exposed to. Then, when the New Moon comes around, we’ll be able to formulate innovative goals, having incorporated that knowledge. Meanwhile, the Venus/Mars square is still in effect today, causing us to feel justified in freely stating our opinions. We may not want to latch onto anything we might get stuck with. The Moon will be void-of-course for nearly 15 hours.

The Word of the Day is APPEASE. Let’s strive for a bit of tranquility today.

The Color of the Day is TEDDY BEAR BROWN. (It’s lighter and fuzzier than regular brown.) To keep our day calm, wear teddy bear brown, a color that will neutralize and soothe emotions.

People are going to seem preoccupied today. We reach for a higher, more spiritual plane of thought while the Moon travels through Pisces. Neptune and Pluto began an aspect to each other at the end of June that is very much in effect today. This has intertwined spirituality and power. Because we know the difference between right and wrong, we have had to rebel against other peoples’ beliefs. Also, in the background, Saturn is in aspect to a star, in a connection that hasn’t been in effect at all in this century. The star is Alpheratz and this combined influence will guide us to break away from whatever is restraining us, and to take on projects that we most care about.

The Word of the Day is RESOLVE. Take matters into our own hands today to create the best possible outcomes.

The Color of the Day is MARIGOLD. (It’s sunny orange.) Attract strength and warmth today by feeling controlled, wearing something in the color of marigolds.
