All Signs
This is an intense week. Mercury lines up with Pluto (Darth Vader) and soon they're both at odds with warlike Mars. Yikes! We'll be humming Ride of the Valkyries every day to work. (Think Wagner on steroids.) Actually we all have a choice. This intense energy culminates by Wednesday, but it can be used for good or bad. After all, it's just energy. Just like a hammer can be used as a weapon or as a tool to build a house. Or sometimes to squeeze orange juice. We can choose to rant and holler -- or creatively transform the world around us. Of course, it's not easy making a mature choice. Lily Tomlin observed: "I always wanted to be somebody, but I should've been more specific." Now you know. Be specific.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
An interesting dynamic is at play this week. Initially, you simply want to have more freedom. You're excited about the possibility of some fresh adventure. This might entail travel, something to do with publishing, or even a chance to advance your training or education. Just as you get your hopes set high on these personal dreams -- something or someone opposes you. This opposition could even be huge, like the government or some large institution. Bummersville. What can you do? It's not worth getting your belly in a rash right now. This opposition is serious. Wait a while (maybe a week) before you attempt another run at your dreams. (But do try again!)
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Your focus suddenly turns to matters related to shared property, estates, wills, inheritances, the joint ownership of things, and all that involved, red tape stuff. Nevertheless, it could mean serious coin in your pocket. You're also very turned on sexually speaking. (Your gonads are in overdrive.) This too, creates exciting expectations on your part. However, it seems as if all your hopes and dreams are dashed by a friend or possibly a group. Someone is seriously raining on your parade. Don't just lash out in response. Be careful. Avoid a thoughtless knee-jerk reaction. Decide what to do that is best for you. Forget about getting even.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Partners and close friends are in your face right now. Possibly, others have ideas about how you should be living your life. This could create a conflict with your boss or a parent or any other authority figure in your life as well. Someone might try to intimidate you into making a choice. You don't have to make a choice. You don't have to be intimidated. This kind of set up stinks. If you even smell the aroma from 10 ft. away -- run the opposite direction. Definitely avoid conflict and intense ego struggles. The only function of anger is to make everyone miserable. Anyhow, you always have your other self to talk to. Be cool; be mellow.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Your desire to make improvements at work, especially related to publishing, the media, legal matters, travel and dealing with foreign countries (and possibly education) is a good one. You've got excellent ideas now. Nevertheless, you will encounter opposition. Since your initial impulse was to improve things and promote productivity and effectiveness -- why would you encourage conflict in any way? Exactly. If the opposition to your ideas is fierce -- step back. It means the timing is not right. Consider this: Once a year the snake has to shed its skin in order to stay alive. However, if you pull the skin off the snake -- you'll kill it. (That's my snake story.)
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Several areas of dispute could arise this week. They're related to children, romance and shared possessions. Separated parents might argue about support, possessions and responsibilities. Lovers could argue about sound systems and TV sets. (We already know you own the duvet.) Disputes about creative property are also possible. It's very important to maintain your cool. People are jumpy, aggressive and in extreme cases, even violent. You so don't want to encourage this! Step back a few paces. Just hold your ground.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Domestic arguments -- especially with partners -- are likely now probably because somebody is trying to run the show. A pushy I-know-best quality is in the air. If you're sending out these vibes -- stop it. If somebody else is doing this to you, then go out for coffee. Who needs this? Arguments never prove anything. It just means that somebody is unhappy with the way things are. If you care about this person or family member, you will see this. If you're the one in pain, and others cannot sympathize -- accept the fact that their ignorance does not allow them to see you clearly. It's sad, but true. "Dammit Jim, I'm an actor, not a doctor."
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Your enthusiasm for something in particular makes you a bit obsessed about it right now. This means that you are not open to other points of view. This might not be the case, but it's a very strong possibility. The maddening thing is that you think you're right and that's why you're trying to convince everybody else to agree with you. Conversely, you might encounter this entire scenario in someone else. This means that someone is intent on convincing you to agree with them. Conflict is practically inevitable here. Ask yourself what you really want in the long run? Do you want a resolution? Do you want cooperation? How are you going to get it? (Dark chocolate might help.)
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
You've been obsessed lately about buying something. (You know who you are.) You have expensive tastes, and whenever you want something -- you want it yesterday. This goes without saying. Your financial situation and your relationship to children or a romantic partner bring confusion into your life right now. What to do? You can't have it both ways. (But you can have gravy on the side.) Be honest with yourself. If you don't think you can compromise in the spirit of cooperation -- then back off. Don't try to get your way simply because you want to. This will create more harm than good. And you will regret it.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
This is not a typical week. Oh no. The new Moon takes place in your sign. The Sun just moved into Sagittarius. Mercury is conjunct Pluto in your sign and of course, this little number squares fiery Mars. Your reaction to all this is, "Life is not tried it is merely survived if you're standing outside of the fire." It's your typical Sagittarian bravado. Either make your peace with family members or avoid them. Don't fight with them. Ironically, you can't win anyhow. Don't hold on to what you have to let go of. It's like holding on to a hot pot that burns you. Just let go. You actually have everything you need. (Although it's a pity the Concord is gone.)
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
For some reason, a seething unexpressed rage might be lurking deep within you. You may or may not be aware of this. It could be because of some injustice that was done to you. If you continue to harbour resentment, whoever or whatever harmed you continues to be triumphant! If you can let go of the past, take a deep breath and relax in the moment -- then your enemy no longer has any power over you. Your response is all you have. But it is everything. Be extra careful traveling and walking. A distracted mind promotes accident-prone situations. On the other hand, fools rush in and get the best seats in the house.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
You could be looking at a midweek crisis. (At least it's shorter.) Somehow you are caught up in some kind of melodrama with a friend or a group. It could relate to money, possessions or even your job. Somebody might be jealous of you. You could be exasperated with somebody else's stupidity. Whatever the case, you're annoyed. (And just when things were going so well.) Logic dictates that as long as you are annoyed with someone (even yourself) you'll be miserable. Do you want to be miserable? No! Since you can't change others, you can only change your response. Some people never learn. Fortunately, you do. If some friends are simply too disappointing -- move on. The world is filled with quality people. Limited individuals help you to appreciate the good ones when they come along!
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
You're definitely pissed off about something this week. But is it worth it going around being grumpy? After all, this frame of mind not only makes everybody else miserable -- it makes you miserable too. You're ambitious now. Furthermore, you're reaching out for power and you're getting it! However, all this grasping doesn't make you happy. That's because the basis of seeking more is a feeling that you don't have enough. If you feel this way, you're discontented. Since there is no end to better (taller, cuter, richer, lovelier, bigger, more famous, faster etc.) At some point, you have to be happy with what you have. Sic transit Gloria whipped cream.
