All Signs

It's an unusual week. Right off the bat, the Sun opposes Pluto; then the Sun dances with Neptune, then it tangles with unpredictable Uranus. This triple play triggers a quest for perfection -- badgered by power struggles and dazzling bursts of creative energy. And that's just Monday! On Wednesday, while the Full Moon in Aquarius occurs, the Sun will line up with lucky, moneybags Jupiter. Ka-ching! Now is the time to seek enlightenment. Get thee to a cave. Trust your instincts. Figure out what is important to you, then make a plan to go after what you want. Don't let others dissuade you from your quest. There's a Zen proverb: "Before enlightenment, chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment, chop wood, carry water." Personally, I've always been a fan of the thermostat.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You can do anything with your hands, without training. You paint, draw, carve, weld, sculpt, write, weave and sew. This week explodes with opportunities to make art! Just do it. Make it a priority. You will also thrive in the entertainment world, the hospitality industry and sports. Personally, you might appreciate aspects of your life you didn't quite see before. Yes, relationships will be tested. Some might end. Because you're entering a new world (where you will reinvent yourself in the next seven years) it's time to throw your spear in the ground and unleash your warrior cry! (At least, text someone.)

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This week strong energy will impact home and family. Some might have power struggles with parents. Others will feel a compassionate concern for the welfare of someone, probably a family member. Meanwhile, something unexpected could trigger marvellous opportunities to improve where you live or help you find a better home. Or perhaps, a burst of good luck will benefit a family member? It might be about an expansion to the family? This is a busy week because you're out there talking to everyone -- socializing and enjoying yourself. The bottom line is what is your role in the family right now? What do you want that role to be?

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You're energetic and ready to think big! However, something unexpected and sudden might catch you off guard. It could be a good thing -- a new way of looking at your world. (Admittedly, this is time to be careful and avoid dangerous neighbourhoods.) Personally, you're ready to air some grievances, which might trigger intense encounters that surprise you. You might have to face the truth about your relationship with siblings and relatives. In a flash, you might see who deserves your affection, and who does not. If you can explore a new study or go to school - check it out because this is the perfect time to expand your mind and savour new experiences. Be bold!

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

The wild energy that is erupting this week might affect your finances, your possessions and your wealth. (Because you're sensible and frugal, this will make you sit up and listen.) First off, you might have a dispute with someone (or an institution) about property, inheritances, assets or debt. You might also want to be charitable to someone or an organization. (You're a caring nurturer.) But hopefully, a bolt out of the blue - something unexpected - might bring you a boost of earnings or an increase to your wealth! A complete surprise! Admittedly, this surprise could be a loss - but more likely, it's a gain. Fingers crossed!

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Powerful astrological aspects might trigger the end of a relationship. At least - a dispute. However, at the same time, you can use your energy and resources to be generous to someone far away. You might give to a charity; or support a cause or a religious organization. Meanwhile, a friend or a group might do something that surprises you. Ironically, whatever happens might encourage you to act more freely! Your personal individuality will matter more than living up to other people's expectations. You might make changes in your immediate surroundings. Basically, you're going to grab hold of life with more confidence, boldness and courage because you now have the resolve to do what you want to do!

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Other people might have unexpected and visible surprises in their world this week; but for you, whatever happens will be private and personal. It might be an epiphany. You might realize that the only one holding you back from what you really want to do is you. Richard Bach wrote, "Argue for your limitations, and they're yours." Because you aspire to perfection, you are quick to see what falls short. In other words, failings, mistakes and faults - not only in others - but in yourself. This makes you a great critic, editor and proofreader - but you're not your best cheerleader. Oscar Wilde said, "Be yourself. Everyone else is already taken."

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Relationships are up for grabs this week. You might have a falling out with a friend or a dispute. Or you might meet a new friend who is unusual and inspiring? You might also see someone close to you - perhaps a partner, spouse or a friend with new eyes. You might appreciate their qualities and their benefit to you in your life. It's as if you are seeing people in new ways for the first time. Good or bad. Along with this is also the possibility that you will see yourself in a new light. You might see that you're more capable of doing things than you previously thought you were. You might see that some of your dreams are actually doable!

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You look good because the Sun is at the top of your chart casting you in a flattering spotlight. Nevertheless, you might have power struggles with a family member that are divisive. You might feel sorry for, or try to help, a work colleague. In fact, these tender feelings you have might even apply to a pet? Meanwhile, something unexpected about banks, partners, the wealth of others, shared property and inheritances could catch you off guard. Fortunately, a friend will be supportive. (In fact, a friendship might turn romantic.) You're getting ready to work hard and bust your buns. Keep in mind that whatever happens to you - including your reaction to the unexpected - is visible to others. You might set an example or be a role model.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This is a powerful week and feelings are running high. Avoid controversial subjects because this will be a waste of your energy. Instead, be ready to accept a bonus or boon that unexpectedly comes your way. You might suddenly have a chance to travel? You might suddenly decide to go back to school or take a course? An opportunity to publish or write might open up for you. Even though disputes about beliefs might arise, this can be a fortunate week for you. Don't let partners and close friends throw shade on your ambitious plans. It's important that you believe in yourself. In fact, your ruler Jupiter is lined up with the Sun this week! You got this Pontiac!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You're never casual about money because it's real - and it matters. Money is energy. You know this. It can help you to gain control over your daily world, and it can also contribute to a well-planned ending - which you intend on having. Therefore, disputes about money, assets and wealth, including shared property and the wealth of your partner might be upsetting for you. Relax. In the bigger picture, you'll come out smelling like a rose. And you'll be able to benefit family members who need your help. You will also be on the receiving end of an unexpected boon, favour or gift! Let the cards fall where they may because you're prepared. Seneca said, "Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity." (I bet he was a Capricorn.)

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

At the beginning of the week, Pluto is in your sign directly opposing the Sun, while your ruler Uranus dances favourably with the Sun. Fuzzy Neptune is also in the picture. This indicates power struggles, ego battles and at the same time, perhaps a sudden advantage? An unexpected blessing? This benefit could be about romance, the arts, or your kids. Certainly, relationships are important to you now. In fact, you might feel a strong affection for someone close to you. However, you might also be caught up in a triangle? Whatever happens now could be part of why you are changing residences or jobs.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You have a strong focus on your work or your job, right now. In fact, you might be looking for work. You might be beginning a new job. Or perhaps, you're changing from one job to a better job? Some of you are also involved in work-related travel. It's actually exciting and stimulating! Meanwhile, your home life is chaotic and demanding for some reason. (This will settle down by late August.) Because of the stress of your work and your job, you might find yourself at odds with someone. It could be a serious rift. Fortunately, when the dust settles, things will go your way. You're extremely favoured right now in terms of your work and your health. More favoured than in over a decade! Believe in your good fortune!
