All Signs
An interesting week! But first, a message from our sponsor... Mercury will be retrograde from Oct. 24 to Nov. 13. But! (deep mysterious voice) the shadow phase before and after makes this a wider window: Oct. 16 to Nov. 30. Respect the shadow phase if you're buying big-ticket items like cars, trucks, computers and cell phones. This means you have only a few weeks to buy these items or wait until December. Forewarned is forearmed. Meanwhile, this week is about breaking free from the world of authority to unleash your inner maverick. Monday gives birth to the epiphany of "I am!" Tuesday is romantic, and Wednesday is rebellious. By Friday, you'll drop your game face and be yourself. (Actually, when you think about it, you have no choice because everyone else is taken.)
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Three considerations: First, remember that you need more sleep because the Sun is opposite your sign, which is as far away from you as it can get all year and the Sun is the symbol of energy. Go to bed. Secondly, Mercury and Venus are aligned in a very passionate part of your chart. Intimacy will be hot! It will also be affectionate and memorable. And third, the area where you will most likely make a break for freedom relates to your kids or something to do with the arts, the entertainment world, teaching children, sports and irresistible romance. In any of these areas, if you feel you have been putting up with too much, you will now rebel and throw down the gauntlet. "Enough!"
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Your closest relationships are mutually supportive and endearing this week. You feel affectionate, tolerant and understanding and your partner, spouse (or close friend) will return these warm feelings. Candid discussions might take place. Meanwhile, you're pumped to work and accomplish a lot. However, when it comes to issues at home or within your family, this is another story. You're working hard to restore order at home and you might feel that the hand you've been dealt is the last straw. Yes, this could be due to visiting guests, renovations or residential moves but you've had it! You're declaring a mutiny. "Now listen up!" (It's the only way to survive.)
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
This is a playful, fun-loving week and you're up for good times! Seek out joyful activities with kids, romance, social diversions, sports and opportunities to express your creative talents. Even issues about work are reassuring because colleagues are friendly and supportive. (For some, a work-related romance might begin.) This is reassuring. But the big news for your sign is that this week fiery Mars dances with explosive, unpredictable Uranus, which will trigger epiphanies, a sudden change in your daily routine, meeting exciting new people, being thrilled with new ideas and in general feeling courageous and ready to do your own thing. Spontaneous short trips are likely. Exciting stuff!
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Home and family are definitely your primary focus this week. Specifically, many of you might be involved with a parent more than usual. Nevertheless, this week is not simply about onerous obligations. Au contraire! Mercury and Mars will attract opportunities to use your mind for amusement - reading, writing and playing games that require mental agility. You'll feel more playful! You might play pranks on someone? Fun, entertaining escapes will appeal. Love affairs will flourish! Fun times with kids as well as a chance to express your own creativity will be thrilling. Perhaps this is why you will impulsively make an effort to boost your income in a fresh new way? Conversely, you might just as impulsively make a big purchase?
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
This is a memorable week! It's fast-paced and you're out there flying your colours talking to everyone; plus, reading, writing and learning new things. Short trips, errands and appointments keep you hopping. Meanwhile, home repairs and redecorating projects are in full swing. (Your home is your castle.) But the big news is that both fiery Mars and lucky Jupiter are in your sign and right now, and Mars is dancing with unpredictable Uranus making you restless, impatient and eager for new experiences. You'll be impulsive! You'll feel the need to break free from your velvet rut. You'll be impatient with restrictions. You'll seek out new friends and new places because you're not sitting at home getting dusty!
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
This is a restless week. You have a strong focus on earnings, cash flow, money, assets and your possessions. You're also thinking more about your values and what really matters in life? This is why you're keen to talk to others. You want to share your ideas. You want to learn more. You also want to hear what others think, which is why you might take short trips, study, read and write more in your effort to grapple with new ideas. One lovely bonus for you is that for some reason, your everyday surroundings and activities will be more pleasant and agreeable! Even the people you talk to seem to be more charming. You're also encountering beauty in your everyday surroundings. Lucky you!
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
The Sun is in your sign giving you a chance to recharge your batteries for the rest of year - and attract people and favourable situations to you. Meanwhile, Mercury and Venus in your Money House encourage moneymaking ideas and thoughts about cash flow. You're doing financial planning and thinking more about your possessions. Fortunately, this is a great time for you financially speaking. You can attract money to you. It's also a favourable time for financial negotiations. Investments made now will be advantageous. Be careful of extravagance. (You love beautiful things.) Get ready for a surprise from a group or a friend when something unexpected happens this week.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
As much as you might like to relax at home and keep a low profile (and you will have this desire); nevertheless, with both Mercury and fair Venus in your sign, you'll enjoy talking to everyone! You're eager to share your ideas. You also want to hear what other people have to say. With Venus in your sign, people see you as charming, attractive and diplomatic. (In fact, this is an excellent week to buy wardrobe treasures for yourself.) What might surprise you is that fiery Mars is at the top of your chart ready to explode due to an electrical prod from unpredictable Uranus midweek. This will ignite your independence! You will stand up to authority! Or perhaps authority will catch you off guard?
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
This week is full of excitement and intrigue. Think Oscar Wilde: "The suspense is unbearable. I hope it will last." For starters, many of you are having a juicy, secret love affair. My lips are sealed. (Actually, not so much because now it's in the newspaper.) You're popular and everyone wants to see your face! But this is a good thing because you're working with others and getting stuff done. Friendships are important right now. However, this week something out of the blue will surprise you. It could be an unexpected chance to travel? Or travel plans might be cancelled or changed? You might be surprised by news related to publishing, higher education, medicine and the law? Stay off your heels.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
You make a fabulous impression on others because this is the only time all year when the Sun is at the top of your chart casting you in a flattering spotlight. This is good! Furthermore, chatty Mercury and fair Venus are travelling through your House of Friendships increasing your interaction with friends and groups. You're eager to talk to people and share your ideas and problems. Someone younger might have a new viewpoint? A friendship could turn romantic? However, you might be surprised with news about debt, mortgages, inheritances and shared property with a spouse or partner. "Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!" Protect your assets!
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
You're born ahead of your time and have a revolutionary understanding of society. Right now, it's an excellent time to learn or explore a new hobby or an intellectual discipline. You want to study and discuss politics, religion, medicine and the law. Interesting stuff. Many of you want to travel as well. Meanwhile, with Mercury and Venus at the top of your chart, your ability to talk to authority figures couldn't be better! They love you. (A romance with a boss might begin.) However, relations with spouses, partners and close friends could surprise you this week. Oh yes. Someone might demand a new deal - certainly more freedom. That someone might be you?
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
You're spread pretty thin this week because many areas of your life require your attention. You're on top of issues related to shared property, jointly-held possessions, taxes, debt and inheritances. You're keen to travel and learn new things, especially exciting, revolutionary ideas about politics, other societies, your own world and what might make a better world for everyone. Some of you will strike up a romance with someone "different". Get ready for a few surprises at work this week because something might explode. You might chafe under restrictions. You want freedom of action. You might suddenly quit your job. Or perhaps equipment breakdowns and the hum of dissent around you is a bit disconcerting?
