All Signs
We have a Solar Eclipse midweek making a harsh angle with big daddy Pluto, which will create feelings of rebellion against authority. (Get ready.) Meanwhile, Mercury retrograde in the same sign will make people reassess and rethink things before charging ahead with old plans (or no plans). This week it's time to take a breath, assess the situation, then decide what to do and how to do it. The beginning of the week is full of feelings of expectation and potential. After rebellious feelings subside midweek, the end of the week is a wonderful time to spend with loved ones. Yes, it's a mixed bag. One day you're the greatest thing since sliced bread. The next - you're toast.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Feelings of rebellion midweek will concern money, earnings, possessions and how they relate to a friend or a group. In fact, this heightened focus on money will prevail for the next four weeks. You will be more concerned about the things that you own, as well. Very likely, you will be dealing with past issues that are back to haunt you again. Certainly, increased chaos and activity on the home front will keep you on your toes. Fortunately, Venus will smooth your communications with others at this time; and of course, with lucky Jupiter in your sign, you have divine protection! You've got this covered.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
This week the Sun moves into your sign to stay for the next four weeks. This happens only once a year, and when it occurs, it empowers you! It's your chance to recharge your batteries for the rest of year. It's an especially beneficial time because you will attract people and favourable situations to you as well as gifts and goodies. With Venus in your Money House, expect money and wealth to come your way. In turn, you will spend money on beautiful things. You will be direct and forceful in your communications with others, which means you'll get your way. Mars will keep you busy with short trips, appointments and an ambitious schedule. No moss growing on you!
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
You might feel rebellious midweek. It's almost as if you feel contrary to whatever is going on around you. Relax - this is temporary. Meanwhile, the next four weeks will have a limbo-like quality because the Sun is hiding in your chart. Accept this and be happy to take a backseat. Enjoy times of solitude. Choose to work alone or behind the scenes. This is actually the perfect window to define some goals for your "new year" after your birthday arrives. What do you want to achieve in your coming year? Goals help you focus; plus, they make future decision-making easier. Meanwhile, enjoy your increased popularity! Treat yourself to some wardrobe items so that you feel great about how you look.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Looking good! Lucky Jupiter at the top of your chart makes you look successful in the eyes of others. It will also bring you opportunities to shine in whatever you do. Meanwhile, this week the Sun moves into a new part of your chart, boosting your popularity for the next four weeks! Go with what's happening. Make an effort to see friends, especially old friends. Not only will you enjoy schmoozing with your pals, you will enjoy increased activity with clubs and professional organizations. Mars in your sign makes you more confident and boosts your energy and drive, which is why you will create a great impression on everyone. You da bomb!
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Once a year, the Sun moves across the top of your chart. It takes about four weeks. This week, it begins. Get ready for some great press, because when the Sun is at the top of your chart, it acts like a flattering spotlight on you, which means people notice you more, and they admire you! Even if you don't do anything special. (It's all smoke and mirrors.) Obviously, since this advantage occurs only once a year - use it! Go after what you want, especially if you need to make an impression on someone, or make your pitch or ask for permission. Do be careful midweek because rebellious feelings with authority figures might arise; but this is temporary. Enjoy schmoozing with creative friends. Romance is promising!
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
For the next four weeks, you want a change of scenery. If you can't travel on a long trip, then get away for a weekend. Take a day trip. Be a tourist in your own city. Go to new places or restaurants, parks and museums. Hike outdoors. Do something that makes you feel more alive! You also want to learn something new and thought-provoking. This is because you want to expand your experience of life, which is a healthy thing. Venus, at the top of your chart, makes you look attractive and charming to everyone. Someone will ask for your advice about how to improve something. Physical sports and competition with others will make you feel stoked!
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
For the next four weeks, the Sun will be in the part of your chart that deals with the resources of others, taxes, debt, inheritances, wills, estates and shared property. This will be the perfect time to wrap up old business in these areas. In fact, you'll be surprised at how swiftly you will do this. In part, this is because your ambition is aroused. (Oh yes, you're pro-active!) Nevertheless, if you can travel for pleasure, you will. (Take some time off for good behaviour.) Meanwhile, with lucky Jupiter opposite your sign, partnerships and close friendships will be more meaningful and important to you. They will also be a source of joy.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
This week the Sun moves opposite your sign, which happens once a year and lasts for four weeks. When this occurs, you will need more sleep because your energy will lag. (Take cat naps.) In addition, this polarized position of the Sun will magnify your focus on partners, spouses and close friends. Suddenly, you have more objectivity and the ability to see your role in these relationships. (You won't be able to kid yourself.) But this is a good thing. This new objectivity will help you to see how you act in your closest relationships - giving you a chance to see how to improve your style of dealing with those who are closest to you. (Major bonus!) Expect improvements in your job and your health. Romance is affectionate.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
For the next four weeks, you will work hard to be efficient and productive. Nevertheless, Mercury retrograde will dog your steps with silly mistakes. Cut yourself some slack. Mid-week, you might want to rebel against something, especially if you think it's holding you back, or others aren't pulling their weight. Fortunately, with Venus opposite your sign, all your relationships (both professional and personal) are smooth because there is less ego involved. You are less judgmental and more forgiving, which certainly makes you happier, and others as well. Money disputes or arguments about inheritances might arise. Fortunately, Jupiter will bring you lots of opportunities for pleasure and fun!
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
This week you enter a four-week window that is perfect for vacations, increased socializing and exploring the arts. Enjoy musical performances, the theatre, movies as well as sports events. Get out and have fun! Plan an exciting getaway. Have a picnic. Do something that makes you feel you're giving yourself a treat. Old flames might be back in your world, which can be tricky. Sometimes this is exciting but generally, it's unnerving. (When you go out, dress sharp because living well is the best revenge.) Be patient with partners and close friends at this time. Fortunately, relations with coworkers are excellent. Continue to ponder ways to improve where you live because this will pay off.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
For the next four weeks, your focus on home and family will be more direct and more involved. This could be because you're dealing with a parent more than usual or an older family member? Certainly, relatives you haven't seen for a while are back on the scene. Fortunately, the placement of both Venus and Mars will mean you're ready to work hard and party hard! Not only will you have the energy to accomplish what you want to do; at the same time, you'll enjoy entertaining diversions, social outings and playful times with kids. Basically, your outlook is more optimistic! Have you noticed this? It's easy to be happy and not realize it.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
For the next four weeks, the pace of your days will accelerate in a fun, busy way. You will have more outings, more appointments, and increased contact with siblings, relatives and neighbours. You might take short trips. You will have more tasks and errands to run that will create a busy schedule. But hey, it will be fun busy! You will like this new pace. It will be stimulating and lively, and you'll enjoy seeing new places and meeting new faces. Many of you will redecorate or tweak your digs because you will entertain at home. You'll enjoy sports activities with kids. Romance will sizzle as well because you're up for a good time! A boost in your income will also help you to play in fun, exciting ways.
