All Signs
This week Mercury starts to go retrograde and Mars stops going retrograde. A real switcheroo! Fair Venus makes strong aspects to steady Saturn, and then cozies up to moneybags Jupiter. All of this is great news except for the Mercury retrograde. The best way to defend yourself against Mercury retrograde is to allow extra time for everything. Leave early for work and for appointments. Don't shop with the clock ticking. Pay your phone bill. Stay on top of car repairs. Be patient with misunderstandings and goof ups. Don't be judgmental when others drop the ball because your turn is next. And when it arrives, don't beat yourself up because hey - out of 100,000 sperm - you were the quickest!
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Because your ruler Mars is finally moving forward after having been retrograde since last year, you'll feel things are finally getting back on track. Yay! Your enthusiasm for life returns with gusto. You feel more mentally active, as well is more confident in all your communications. Your career can really get a boost this week (or your good name in the community.) Bosses, parents, teachers and VIPs think you're the cat's pajamas. Because others think so highly of you, many of you will get a raise, praise, more money, more perks and possibly a promotion. You're in success mode! All this hard work is starting to pay off. (How sweet it is.)
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
This is going to be an excellent year for you because two major planets are in your fellow Earth signs. Quite literally, they're offering you support for whatever you want to do. Saturn offers you support in a practical, reliable, steady Eddie way. Jupiter offers you support by giving you encouragement, money, funds, gifts and opportunities especially related to travel, exploring new adventures, getting further education, and doing anything related to publishing, the media, medicine and law. What's not to like? Romance with someone from afar or with someone from another culture is likely this week. (Taking a foreign lover is the best way to learn a new language.)
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Since mid November 2007, things have slowed down or become convoluted in some way, especially throughout December. That's because the Mars has been going backwards in your sign. This has made going forward difficult; although perhaps many of you were able to clean up old situations you've been ignoring. This week, when Mars finally goes forward again -- so will you! As Jupiter cozies up to Venus this week, many of you will receive inheritances, gifts, favours, perks and goodies from others. You definitely will benefit from the wealth of others. And that's not all. Sex will be particularly yummy and affectionate. Aaahh. You'll feel you've found your soulmate at last.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
All your relations with members of the public as well as your closest relations with partners and dear friends will improve marvelously this week. You need this support because those of you who are early Cancers (June 21-28) might be undergoing some major changes with partnerships. (That's because Darth Vader Pluto is sitting across the dinner table, which can definitely curb one's appetite.) Nevertheless, others are extremely supportive to you now. Conversations, especially with siblings, are practical, down-to-earth and beneficial. In many ways, this is a turning point in your life. Because of that, job changes and residential moves start to make sense. But who is going to pack all this stuff?
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Late Leos will have to wait awhile to really feel this effect, but early Leos (July) are already seeing how much their job is improving or becoming more rewarding and fulfilling. Your job might improve simply because the conditions change, your boss changes, or even your job changes. However, your job might also improve simply because you're changing in terms of your attitude to your work and how you approach it. Whichever way it happens, the bottom line is you're happier doing what you do! It should generate more money too. (Whenever Jupiter and Venus get together, cash and goodies arrive.) Parties, romance and fun times will please you this week. It's all looking extremely good. Smoochie-boochies!
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Except for the fact that you're working hard now, things have been getting better and better for you lately. Have you noticed? Your work is becoming more rewarding. Love, romance, flirtations and social times with others are fun diversions. (Not to imply your all-consuming love life is a mere diversion.) Not only are you guys having wonderful fun times, vacations and playful excursions with children, you're also enjoying your home life much more. You're making things prettier. You're entertaining more. Relations with family members are more affectionate. It's all good! As Mars goes direct this week, you'll find your ambition to achieve your goals is reinforced big-time. "I'm eating razor blades for breakfast!"
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
This is a particularly rewarding time for your sign. Three planets are encouraging playful, fun, romantic, flirtatious times. Whee! You'll enjoy vacations, parties, the arts, the theatre, and sports. And while all this fun stuff is going on, you're even more enthused to make where you live look more attractive by buying beautiful things for your home and rearranging furniture and getting rid of junk. In other words, you feel better about home and family; and you're also having more fun and better relations with children. Financially, it's a good time for speculation in general, and any kind of real estate deals whether it's buying your own home or buying real estate for speculation. (Something I've never even speculated about.)
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Positive thinking and an optimistic attitude comes more easily to you now for whatever reason. (Each of you has different details in your own lives.) The bottom line however is -- you're happier! This same celestial influence can improve your ability to buy and sell, wheel and deal, establish partnerships, enter into agreements, as well as teach, act, market, and persuade anyone to do anything. If you make money writing or talking -- you're laughing! This wonderful influence also blesses relations with siblings and relatives. Call up your sister or brother. Invite them over or take them out for a beer. Your sex drive is strong now as well. Life is gooood!
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Early Sagittarians (Nov. 22 - 27) are laughing all the way to the bank. Later Sagittarians will have to wait their turn. Everything to do with business and commerce is beautifully favoured this week. Many of you will get a raise, or figure out new sources of income, or will boost your earnings in some way. And because your cash flow is so highly stimulated now, you'll be spending more as well, buying goodies for yourself and loved ones. All things financial look great! This continues to be a busy week. Be patient with partners. As Mars moves forward it can create arguments with others. Don't even go there. Just count your money. Ka-ching!
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Life is looking so sweet for you! This week both Venus and Jupiter line up in your sign. In addition, they make a lovely connection with Saturn. This means you're good luck is riding high! Not only are opportunities and favourable, auspicious circumstances arising for you, Saturn will give you have the drive, focus and steady determination to make the most of these opportunities. You won't miss a thing! Please take note: Life will not always be this generous. Therefore, make the most of this. Take advantage of every opportunity. It's easy for you to work hard now. Go forth and be successful!
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
This continues to be a powerful time for you because the Sun, Mercury and Neptune are all in your sign. However, Mercury is going retrograde in Aquarius! Run for cover! Almost all of you will be dealing with ex-partners and people from your past. This can be bad or good depending on your relationship history. (Look good -- living well is the best revenge.) Vacation plans get a green light now. Romance and love affairs will start to perk up. Your creative energy is lifting off once again. You're revved up about anything to do with sports, dealing with children, show business and the hospitality industry. You've decided it's time to make it happen! Privately, you feel more inner peace and contentment. This is cool.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
It's a bit of a mixed bag this week. In one way, you want to hide or retire somewhere. You need privacy and a bit of seclusion to pull your act together. You need to pamper yourself! And yet in another way, you're out there flying your colours talking to everyone! Relations with friends, groups and organizations couldn't be better. Artistic contacts in particular, are rewarding. People want to see you. Others are helpful. They're full of good ideas and perhaps even outright gifts and goodies. Chaos and conflict at home will test your patience. But now that Mars is on the move, all this increased activity at home at least has a direction. By March, you'll see great improvements! Thank the Lord. In fact, March is going to be one sweet month! (Until then, there's always Paris.)
