This is a week of mixed reviews. As of Tuesday the 12th, Mercury is no longer retrograde. This is good news! Go ahead and shop for cars, trucks, bikes, computers - anything. Relations with authority figures are a bit sticky. (It's not easy to get your way.) On the other hand (you have different rings) -- Venus trines Pluto and this definitely adds sizzle to the sauce for everyone. This certainly intensifies all interactions. Sexual desire and intimacy can be the stuff of movies. This planetary arrangement also brings about deep, psychological insights. You see that power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. (But hey -- we all need electricity.)
It's definitely a mixed bag this week. Relations with family members, especially parents, could be strained. Someone in the family opposes your plans. Some decorating ideas you have might not fly. However, your efforts to work with people (friends and groups) are wonderfully successful now. Others will jump on your bandwagon! Not only that, your belief in something (perhaps future travel plans, something to with publishing, or even your stance on a political or religious issue) is very passionate right now. You could also fall in love with someone who is "different" from you. All in all - an exciting week!
You can't shake some kind of nagging worry right now. It seems to grip you deep within your subconscious. Actually, it's probably a habit. (Worry is mostly habit.) Try to shake this loose if you can. It doesn't mean your worries will go away; but if you shake them loose a bit, there's room for sunshine and blue sky to peek through. In other words, you can worry -- but you can be happier about it. And you definitely have cause for sunshine! Your job and your career look fabulous! It's easy to put your best foot forward now, and everyone else applauds! Just keep reducing your possessions. Prune yourself of what you no longer need. Since you're the collector of the zodiac - this ain't gonna be easy, pal.
That dark cloud on your horizon is financially related. You don't have the money for those special things you want (like bread and milk.) Oy vay. Bills, debt, financial stress or something related to your job combine to give you the old squeeze play. But all is not lost! Travel plans or opportunities to increase your education and expand your world, plus matters connected with publishing and the media -- these look great! An exciting vacation (or a fun getaway) is definitely in the cards. Not only that -- your relations with a partner or a close friend are deepening. Things look sexy and hot! (Life ain't boring.) Someone new could come along and deeply influence you now in a profound way. Hmmm.
Some things are working now; some things are not. This is definitely not the time to push your agenda with bosses, parents or any kind of authority figure in your life. You will only meet with opposition. Therefore, table your agenda, so that you can try again another day. However, you have wonderful opportunities to use the resources of others to make improvements at home or to a family member or to your real estate scene. You can make great strides here. You can get a lot done. Romance with a boss or someone older or more established can really blow your mind now. Something might also come along and introduce improvements in your job. (Maybe that someone is you?)
External situations or even authority figures seem to frustrate your publishing activities right now. Your efforts to travel, study, and do something related to medicine or the law are also blocked. Political and religious ideas could also be the source of frustration or angst. Fortunately, these are quickly gone. (But they're there.) The good news is you can really inspire others now. You impress people with your views on things. A wise guru/teacher might teach you something profound; or possibly, you perform this function for others. Something related to publishing, travel, religion and philosophy could change your life. (For the better!) If you're nursing big ideas right now -- believe in yourself!
Quarrels with others about shared possessions or jointly held property are possible right now. Similarly, you might butt heads with somebody about how to handle certain obligations or responsibilities. You'll be able to handle this. For one thing, your efforts at work bring good results now. Others readily agree with you. Whatever you propose is rubberstamped. You feel encouraged about your job (and your health for that matter.) Your sex life however, is really worthy of a diary entry. (But who has time?) Intimate relations can be mind-blowing. You feel a fated, destiny-like connection with someone. You suspect their great, great, great grandfather's sheep were messing around with your great, great, great grandfather's sheep. Baaaaaad!
Deep conversations with partners and friends are profound even life-changing now. It all depends on just how far you want to go down the rabbit hole. These conversations are not casual. They're passionate, and they make you feel very connected to someone. This is an exciting time for any kind of love affair, romance or close partnership. Matters connected with sports, the arts and working with children are upbeat and successful as well. There is one area where you have to watch your step: conversations with parents, bosses and authority figures are difficult. Something you want is not accessible. ("If you can't be with the one you love, then love the one you're with.") In other words, go with what's working!
Work-related travel might be delayed or it might feel like some kind of burden right now. Ditto for matters related publishing, the media, the law and medicine. Nevertheless, you can make huge improvements to your job right now. You might attract a new source of making money. You might see new applications for existing technology or systems. And the changes you're making at home within your family or on the home front are also quite fabulous. There's lots of activity going on at home but it can be joyful and instructive. Others might gather at your home to learn something new. There are many ways you can introduce fresh improvements in your life right now. What more do you want? (Oh that.)
Some of you are in the midst of a love affair that's right off the charts. Passion definitely sizzles! (And we're talking the best i.e. the obsessive, compulsive kind.) Ideally this requires a partner; although Woody Allen always said, "I'm the best I ever had." Unfortunately, you do feel a financial pinch related to the responsibilities of children, debt, taxes and like. But that's the only dark cloud on your horizon right now. Your creative abilities are wonderful. Financial speculation looks good. Your ability to sell, market, teach, persuade, influence is stellar. No one can resist you, babes. You're on a roll!
There's a lot happening at home right now. Although differences with partners and parents make things a bit sticky; at the same time, you're able to make gorgeous improvements to where you live. Renovations, repairs and major changes (perhaps to plumbing, bathrooms or something structural) really make a positive difference now. Family discussions are also deep, probing but satisfying. Cash flow is flying. You're putting out a lot of energy to earn money, and you're also spending it! Home improvements cost a lot, but it's a rewarding way to spend your money; and it does have a long-term benefit in the future, which is something you like. Your home is your castle.
You're worried about something at work. Perhaps you're trying to juggle too much? (You've been working very hard lately.) Don't worry. Even if things are sticky with bosses and authority figures; or coworkers just shoot you down right now - there's some very good stuff in the stars for you. For starters, you have a lot of positive energy. You're extremely enthusiastic about something related to religion, politics, publishing, travel, or increased training and education. You can see that you're going places! This energizes you. In addition to this, conversations with friends and groups are practically life changing. Profound discussions with siblings and others are memorable. (You like all this heavy, intellectual stuff. It's the scientist in you.)
Money worries, especially related to financial speculation, vacations, social spending, and the responsibilities of children might give you pause. (Little furry ones.) However, you feel the results of that old saying: "When the going gets tough, the tough get going." Your back is to the wall, and you're going to make changes! You might discover an entirely new source of income. (And it's legal.) Not only that, your interaction with large institutions and the government could bring goodies your way. You might inherit or receive a gift. Your partner could get a bonus or some kind of perk that indirectly benefits you. You can improve your financial prospects now! Purchases might also be extremely pleasing. (That's nice.)
