All Signs
On Monday, fiery Mars opposes stern Saturn. This happens every two years. Mars is aggressive (the Warrior) and Saturn represents authority, and the way we've always done things. (Oh yes. We like the way we've always done things. Even if it's pointless, outdated and no longer relevant. Habit is so thumb sucking reassuring!) This means some aspect of our life will be challenged. The young will challenge the old. Workers will challenge authority. Opinions and beliefs will be challenged. This is a healthy thing if it isn't too contentious or acrimonious. (Nobody likes nasty.) Therefore, gird your loins for the fray ahead! Keep an open mind. (But not so open that everything falls out.) Saturn is the Great Teacher.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
The conflict you feel this week with Mars opposing Saturn is classic: you're ambitious and you don't want anyone telling you that can't do something. In fact, you'll challenge all forms of authority. Yikes! It's not so much a case of revolting or rebelling. It's more like just butting heads. You want something, and someone else doesn't approve. What to do? On the assumption that you need to keep your job, a little courtesy and patience is advised. You're probably angry about something. This means you'll attack or you'll feel attacked, which resolves very little. In fact, it probably worsens things. Best to wait a few days to wave your flag. Chill out. Test the waters first.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Right now you're entertaining exciting ideas about travel, education, publishing and basically expanding your world. These are thrilling things you're contemplating. However, suddenly it looks like everything's in the toilet. What happened? It might be true that circumstances block you now; but what is more likely, is your own fears and doubts are holding you back. Positive thinking is capable of anything; negative thinking closes doors everywhere. Don't let others get you down. Don't be discouraged by anything. All kinds of possibilities still exist. (Even though we're wired with electricity -- candles are a $2 billion-dollar industry.) Capice?
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Quite likely, you're in dispute with someone about shared property, jointly held possessions, taxes, debt and other people's money. You might be arguing with creditors. You might be unhappy with how an inheritance is turning out right now. You might be confused about your sex life. All these areas are a challenge for you -- briefly - at the moment. It makes you feel like a loser: you feel blocked and inhibited. It's important to know this passes quickly. Give it little thought. Don't act on it. Don't lash out. No matter how close you are to others, it's normal for relationships to wax and wane. All living systems do this. The bond is still there. Now you see it -- now you don't. Relax.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
This is a very testy time for partnerships and close relationships. Mars opposes your sign, and on Monday it opposes Saturn (also in your sign!) Oy vay. It's a classic time for a fight with someone close to you. Just remember that the reason you're ticked off with someone is because you love them. You don't get ticked off with strangers. But family? Your partner or lover? Your best friend? When things go wrong here -- it drives you nuts! That's because this person is important to you. Remember this and think of your long-term objective. Do you want this person in your life? Quite likely. Therefore, why not try for a hug? (Hugs are amazing.)
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
You have it easier than other signs this week. Sure you will feel conflict or obstruction in some of your relationships (most likely at work, with coworkers.) However, your remedy is simple. All you have to do is work hard, and this whole thing will just fade off into the sunset eventually. Roll up your sleeves. Tackle grunt work. Do something that requires energy, concentration and persistence. If you do this, you'll be able to "work through" a lot of other things as well. Maybe that's the origin of the term 'work out'? Either way, be happy in your work because it is your savior right now -- your best friend!
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Quarrels with lovers and romantic interests are classic right now. It's always threatening in a relationship when you feel it moving apart. You feel the distance. Before, you were close and getting tighter and more intimate. The truth is that all relationships move in and out in terms of intimacy. Learning how to handle the 'distancing times' is challenging. It doesn't mean the sky is falling. Similarly, you might have arguments about children or taking care of them, or juggling the responsibilities concerning them. Wait until Wednesday to come to terms with these issues. Resist the urge to react in a knee-jerk fashion. Think things through. (And if you have to eat humble pie, use lots of whipped cream.)
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
You're fussy about how your home looks. That's because ambience means everything to you. You have definite ideas about how you want things arranged and how they should function. In fact, you give it a lot of thought! Furthermore, you like harmony in the home. That's why this Mars/Saturn opposition is challenging for you: it hits you right where you live. Chaos and activity are enough for you to handle right now. Animosity and disputes are too much. Actually, your happiness is much more in your own control than you might suspect. It's your reaction to these things that causes you pain. Try to be patient and forgiving. If you can do this, you'll be the first person who feels its benefit. (Oh yeah!)
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Quarrels with siblings, relatives and daily contacts are likely now. You may not realize it but in a way, you're on the warpath. You're determined to convince others to agree with you. You're convinced you're right. And you might be. But this doesn't lessen the fact that your insistence on something triggers conflict and arguments. This same aggression can creep in to your driving style as well. Be careful. Your aggression could trigger accidents and close calls. You have to take a step back. Lighten up. What you think is so important right now is peanuts in 10 years. Right? Don't worry about feeling cut off from others. This is temporary.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Disagreements about financial matters are almost unavoidable now. You're unhappy with your money scene. You might feel someone is cheating you. Since honesty is so important with you, this is maddening. On the other hand, others might accuse you of treating them unfairly. (This is less likely, but possible.) Try not to take an important stand on this right now. If you wait until Wednesday, you might see alternatives that please all parties involved. Then again, you might not. Oh well, a knockdown drag out fight by Wednesday will be much more mellow. And easier to handle.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Mars is in your sign and of course, it opposes Saturn on Monday. There's no way you're getting out of this one. Several things could happen. You might have arguments with others. You might feel cut off from others, sort of lonely and unloved. You might feel inhibited or held back by someone or something. You could even feel sick because of tension building up within you. (You hate defeat. And you abhor public failure.) Is this what is so painful now? Things have been building up for some time, and it seems like it's all coming to a head. Remember your long-term objective. Just focus on that. Be gracious about the small stuff. (Let them eat cake.)
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
This Mars/Saturn opposition is a bit difficult for you because it seems to affect your unconscious mind. You might feel lonely, unloved and out of the loop. You might feel used at work. You might feel no one loves you, and worse yet -- you know the reason why. (Oh yes! All those insecurities again?) Others have now discovered the monster within you that you carefully hid all the years of your life. Relax! This is an old story. (And they made it into a few movies too.) Each and every one of us has a monster hidden inside. (Mine likes chocolate and champagne.) You haven't been "found out." You're just encountering some opposition at work. It's nothing personal. In a few days, life will be completely different. (Probably more sky blue.)
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
The Mars/Saturn opposition that occurs on Monday (it has a spillover effect into surrounding days) could set off tension between friends and lovers. You might find it hard to please both. Alternatively, you might find that activities with friends and groups conflict with your responsibilities with children. You want to put your energy somewhere, but you're blocked. Perhaps the demands of others interfere with your desire to be creative and explore new career paths. There are many possible manifestations. But the bottom-line is you feel an opposition to your desires. This is nothing you can't handle right now. With the Sun and Venus in your sign, you're blessed! (We should all be so lucky.)
