The (new, updated) Daily Horoscopes are back up – thank you so much for your patience!
Imminent: a granular, Mars-in-Virgo-esque explanation of the delay but most importantly:
(1) If you’re a Mega Mystic member, please visit the birth data profile or profiles on your Mystic Dashboard, re-select the location (Country, State/City etc) and then hit save. Everything will work brilliantly regardless but updating the profile ensures that you’re matched with the latest version of the database.
(2) The Daily Horoscopes now include my take on the transiting Lunar Nodes, Jupiter and Saturn to your natal Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Chiron*, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Midheaven, Node and Ascendant. Transit Hekate, Lilith, Sappho and others remain the same for now.
(3) The Moon through to Mars house interpretations for each birth data profile (s) now show everyday.
GRANULAR/MARS IN VIRGO DETAILS FYI
I haven’t had the chance to catch up on the comments yet but I did glimpse someone kindly trying to mollify those of you who were annoyed by mentioning my Mars in Virgo. Thank you! And yes this was a total Mars in Virgo trip.
So without wanting to sound onanistic, the update required deep focus and I couldn’t both do all the Daily Horoscopes updates and the new material as in time-wise. So I needed to take the Daily Horoscopes offline.
Now my original and far more sensible, intention was to copy over the Jupiter and Saturn material from the Year Ahead Report but while a couple of the interps are from there, I decided they needed to be totally new. The way that the Year Ahead reports are written is as if someone is reading for an event in the future, it’s my take on something that is happening later, not now.
But when you read the Daily Horoscopes, it’s immediate. I’m also able to connect an interpretation for a transit to the other things happening now to hopefully enrich the delineation. Essentially I became obsessed with improving every single bit of writing on there.
A few days in, however, I began to wonder why on earth it was taking so long. I’d barely left the house or slept, my study looked like a vortex of creative chaos and yet still I wasn’t done. Then I did a word count and realized I’d written over 60,000 words with 100, 000 more to go – like writing a novel in a week.
And yes, Saturn is currently opposing Mars in Virgo and I really wish it would move on lol. But the obsession didn’t end there — I then spent 72 hours straight checking historic daylight savings data for practically every single place on the planet.
You may think it’s straightforward but there were years when some places used it and others decided not to and regional variations re when it started. My developer said I could just fix it when someone said they thought it was wrong.
But I’d already taken the scopes offline for days longer than I thought I would need to while I wrote my book-length of updates, I didn’t want even a single person to be upset because their birth data yielded the wrong timezone – it throws out the ascendant degree and thus the transit times.
My developer also pointed out that I could have just purchased A.I. written interps and have been done with the whole thing in a couple of hours. I am not bagging out anyone who does use it and there are a lot of apps + sites with artificial content now but I can’t. It’s partly ego – I think I write better than A.I.
But it’s also because A.I. can put together an interp of a planet being conjunct your natal Moon or something but it can’t also connect that to an upcoming Jupiter or Uranus transit and the current Moon situation. I am trying to create a unique offering and unfortunately I needed to take the scopes offline for these days to do it.
Geo, my lovely assistant, has also been away on unscheduled leave as she injured her wrist and ankle so if you’ve emailed but not gotten a response I am so sorry. I know it is annoying to have things not up when they should be but please know that if something is late – eg: the Daily Mystic – it is because it’s all me and I am passionate about trying to find the right words and imagery, putting all the astro in context & being as helpful a “guide” I can be in these strange times.
Thank you again for your patience. And, speaking of late things, I desperately had to sleep once the Daily Horoscopes update was up but the Monthly Horoscopes are nearly completed and will be up soon!
Thank you MM for your old school Mars in.Virgo fastidiousness, with few spelling and punctuation errors. So worth the wait for the updated Daily Horoscopes. From Ms Venus in picky Virgo, loathing AI and loss of proper journalism. Three cheers and a series of good, sound sleeps for you Mystic.
Trust your dear assistant, Geo, will be back on deck before Mercury finally returns us to sanity on the 16th. Counting the hours, and written in capital letters in old school diary(s) and calendars.
You are an absolute marvel Mystic.😘🦄🦄🦄🌺
As a fellow Mars in Virgo I’m always grateful for your attention to detail. Thanks MM!
EVEN IF a.i. could approximate your superfine artisan handspun astro yarn, Mystic, it would only ever be after the fact and simply never knitted into the lightweight, situationally appropriate, stylish objets in the way that you serve on a daily basis.
the limp utilitarian functionalism of asking a digital entity to do the work that would substitute for Your Actual Writing, which is imho the beating heart of your business (which just happens to focus around astrology etc), sort of defeats the purpose of, well, this *gestures across entire mystic medusa realm*
BUT personally – despite that – I would also understand and be somewhat fascinated (neutral fascinated, not snarky fascinated) by the process should you want to tread the AI path, and besides, this is Your Friggin Enterprise So Do Whatever You Want. (that’s my Aries MC and cap moon speaking.)
anyway the daily scopes are even more amazing now. thank you 🌸🌹✨
a small clarification. “lightweight” like an Elvish sword, not lightweight like a tabloid newspaper hot take.
Very impressed by your passion & work Mystic, wow!! Thanks for giving some insight into your process.
I love your way with words & the amazing images & art you find to match, as well as the astro, thank you!!
You do write better than AI!
Wow you are Amazing and YES your words, your descriptions, your interpretations are Uniquely You & that’s why they are so Awesome! We can wait patiently and with anticipation knowing that what we read will have meaning. And Yes It Will be & Is on Fire! (as Silvervirgo said!)
You are truly amazing, Mystic. Thank you so much for this fantastic update!! Although we’ll all miss you like crazy I hope you get to take some time out over the holiday season. And thank you so much for not switching to AI to write your content. Part of the reason I subscribed to your site in the first place is that I love your writing – it’s switched on, fun, funny and informative. The only AI content I’ve seen so far is dull, not to mention frequently incorrect. Your creativity is what keeps me coming back. Love your work! XX
Oops, sorry, didn’t mean to post that twice!
You are truly mazing, Mystic. Thank you so much for this fantastic update!! Although we’ll all miss you like crazy I hope you get to take some time out over the holiday season.

Thank you:) so much!
perfect for the new moon – thanks Mystic!
Always worth the wait.
Me: Highlight new word of the week. Right click > google search onanistic > pronounce.
Hehe your a freaking marvel MM! Not sure where I’ll use it as I teach 7-10, maybe at the staff meeting, actually definitely the meeting.
your passion is worth it and your passport of Virgo material is very appreciated. I hole you slumber well mystic. I am so glad I’ve become a life time member. xx
obviously my Virgo moon is not as on point. I hope your slumber is beautiful xx
AI free and always will be. x
Eh, your stuff is always worth the wait! I wasn’t worried. Saturn however, is effing my Virgo stellium to the degree I just cannot defend. I mean unless I can melt metal with my eyes at the end, I’m over it!
Saturn is opposing my mars, my sun, rising and mercury in virgo as well, in my house of relationships🫣! I’m so over it! Love the new dailies!🤩
Hey Mystic, thanks for the endurance and site re-fab.
Amazing! Thanks Mystic, I updated the birth data & it’s working beautifully.
I am a Virgo Mars opposite Saturn in Pisces native; I deeply appreciate all the work you put into your offerings!
my bad, I thought this was the comment box, not a reply!
Brilliant! I haven’t been a MM member for a few years but I’m coming up to my (gasp) half-century birthday on NYE (and having a rather monster anxiety-ridden, time-aware, body-freak out, general panic about it all) (oh, and I hit menopause just last week, ffs) so I gifted myself re-entry into the world of Mystic. It’s so good to be back. Such fun astro reassurance and guidance is vital in times such as these.
thank you so much. didn’t realise how addicted I was until I couldn’t access them!
This mystic junkie finally got her fix. 🙌
So delighted. Thanks Mystic.
Appreciate all the incredible time and effort you put into this, Mystic! Your words and wisdom infinitely outweigh anything AI could come up with x
huzzah.
thank you again.
SO FABULOUS – Thank You ❤️
I legit love this – LOVE – and I hated that Mystic literally went on strike for a week but her forecast is FIRE!!!
Super cool. Thank you so much, Mystic, and happy soon-to-be December to you.
