All Signs

This week Mercury and Venus move into Aries -- a feisty, talented, pioneering sign that is the energy behind discovery and innovation. Mercury is how we talk, think and communicate. It rules our daily routines. Venus is what we love -- sweet romance, creme brulee, velvet curtains, a sunset cruise, a galloping horse, symphonic inspiration, a Shakespearean sonnet, morning coffee and all things beautiful. This week we will begin to communicate more aggressively and directly --in your face stuff. But we will thrill to new discoveries. ("We had so much fun! We did that seven or eight nights a week!")

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You're sitting pretty this week with both Mercury and Venus moving into your sign. Mercury will make you talkative and eager to share your ideas with everyone. It will pump your mental energy so that you will put a great deal of yourself into whatever you want to say. You will also have a strong urge to get out and travel! This is not surprising because Mars is also urging you to get outta Dodge. Meanwhile, fair Venus will balance this feisty energy because Venus always makes you diplomatic, charming and oh so attractive to others. (Everyone loves you!) Note: This is the perfect week to buy wardrobe treasures for yourself, especially hats, glasses and earrings.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

There is an interesting combo taking place for your sign this week. The placement of the Sun encourages popularity and interaction with friends and groups of people. "Hi there!" You're out there flying your colours! You want to interact with people. In addition, your sex drive is amped! (Oh wow.) You are certainly motivated to be social, to say the least. Nevertheless, Mercury and Venus are moving into a hidden part of your chart. This placement of Mercury makes you more withdrawn, a bit secretive and inclined to pursue research and work behind the scenes. Meanwhile Venus encourages secret love affairs, which does jibe with the energy of sexy Mars. Busy you! (You know who you are.)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

This is a busy week for you! For starters, the Sun is at high noon in your chart, which means people notice you. In fact, not only do they notice you, they admire you! This especially applies to bosses, parents and VIPs. (Obviously, this is the week to make your move, ya think?) The recent move of Mercury and Venus will pump your popularity with others. In particular, you will start to hang out with younger people as well as creative, artistic types. You will have more exchanges with others; and these interactions might be through a theatrical group, a teaching group or something new that involves you. With Mars opposite your sign, be patient with partners. (Patience is the antidote to anger.)

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Travel appeals! You want to expand your world. If you can't travel, enjoy learning something new or taking a course or studying something that illuminates and broadens your knowledge. Mars keeps you fired up on the job and gives you energy to work hard. Mars also gives you the energy to work out to improve your health. The biggest change this week is Mercury and Venus are at the top of your chart - improving communications with bosses, parents and VIPs. Make plans for your future. People will listen to you because Venus makes you attractive in their eyes. In fact, someone will ask for your creative advice about how to make something look better.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

This week is about shared property, taxes, debt, inheritances, wills, estates and insurance issues. It's red-tape stuff but you can't ignore it. Mars makes you playful and revved up. You want to schmooze with others and enjoy sports events, the arts and parties! You're keen to relate to younger people. Mercury and Venus will hype your desire to travel. You will do whatever you can to explore more of the world either personally or through study or film or even talking to people from other countries and different cultures. This is a strong week to study. It's a good time to write. Romance with someone who is different or from another culture might begin. (What a fun way to learn a new language.)

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Get more sleep because you need it. Increased chaos, tension and activity on the home front further exacerbate your need for rest. Fortunately, your positive attitude to life - which is a running theme this year - lifts your spirits. This week, Mercury and Venus move into a part of your chart that relates to sex, death and money. (Wow!) Expect discussions and negotiations about finances and shared property. You're interested in exploring deep, psychological truths. Venus will attract money to you from your partner. It also stimulates your sex drive and makes romance affectionate, even profound. (Profound sex - the best!) Good week to seek a loan or mortgage. Ka-ching!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You're working hard and you're productive. You will get a lot done this week. Mars makes you super aggressive and convincing in all your conversations with others. Be careful you don't come on too strong. Yelling doesn't make people listen to you - whispering does. This week, both Mercury and Venus move directly opposite your sign, which is a wonderful thing for your closest relationships and friendships. This is a great week to clarify and explain issues with someone. You might even discuss difficulties in the relationship itself. Meanwhile, this is the best place for Venus because it makes you so in tune with others. (Even your enemies.) Great week to schmooze!

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

No matter how many little annoyances and irritations you suffer, you have divine protection because lucky Jupiter is in your sign this year. You are fortunate! This is a playful week. Romance is blessed. Enjoy fun activities with children and young people. You're prepared to work hard for your money but you're also spending it. The shift that this week brings is with Mercury and Venus. Mercury makes you roll up your sleeves and get hands-on in your job. It's also a great week for mental work. You want to do a great job and you want to get along with coworkers - and you will because Venus improves all your work relationships. Expect to focus more than usual on making your workplace pretty.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Home, family and your private life continue to be your primary focus this week. However, Mercury and Venus now beckon you to get out and socialize! They want you to party! Try to slip away on a mini vacation. They also encourage your participation in the arts and in playful activities with children. Likewise, many of you will be more involved in sports and events with young people. Thankfully, you are up for this because fiery Mars is in your sign pumping you with energy, drive and a competitive spirit. "Let's run this up the flagpole to see if anyone salutes!" Enjoy yourself this week. There is no need to pretend to be what you are not. Love relationships are favoured and you are happy!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

This week will be fast-paced and busy with appointments, conversations, short trips plus increased reading, writing and studying. You're on the go and you're exploring a lot of ideas. Mars is hidden in your chart, which means you are busy behind the scenes. But it also might mean that someone who does not have your best interests at heart has their eye on you. Be aware of this. This week you will jump into redecorating projects at home as well as doing home repairs. Family discussions will be eventful but they will be supportive, warm and loving as well. In fact, it's a great week to entertain at home. You value family. (Offer them good food and drink and they love you.)

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You've got money on your mind this week! This includes moneymaking ideas plus ways to spend money as well. Relations with friends, clubs and groups are active and aggressive! You're involved with others, perhaps at cross purposes. Obviously, you will speak your mind, because you always do. Fortunately, Mercury and Venus will help you in all your communications with others because Venus will sweeten your words and makes you diplomatic and charming, while at the same time, Mercury will facilitate meeting new people and testing new ideas. You will love all kinds of intellectual activities and exchanges with others. Don't sit around getting dusty this week. Get out and get involved!

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Things are certainly going your way, dear Pisces, because the Sun is in your sign. This energizes you and attracts people and favourable situations your way. Furthermore, fiery Mars is at the top of your chart arousing your ambition. No moss growing on you! Jupiter continues to bring you opportunities to travel and to explore further education as well as avenues in publishing, the media, medicine and the law. This week, Mercury and Venus move into one of your Money Houses. Ka-ching! Suddenly, you're full of moneymaking ideas! And you will make money. But Venus will also encourage you to spend money on beautiful things for yourself and loved ones. (Surely this will include shoes and boots from the new Spring Collection?)
