All Signs
Just another reminder that Mercury is retrograde from July 22 to Aug. 16 (a lousy time to buy any kind of ground transportation or computer related items. It's also a poor time to open businesses or begin anything.) This week has a strong element of confusion and self-induced delusion! (Oy vay.) First Venus then Mercury opposes Neptune, the planet famous for its smoke and mirrors tricks. Neptune rules our dreams and is the muse -- the inspiration of all art. But these things are in the eye of the beholder. Neptune makes you see what isn't there and believe what isn't true. It's the spin-doctor in the sky. "It slices, it dices, it cuts wood! It never rusts or goes dull and it's yours for only $14.99!" (I bought two.)
Aries (March 21-April 19)
There are several areas that can trap you in confusion this week. Romance is a biggy. (Ain't it the truth?) You might feel disappointed in a lover, or vice versa. This could be because you're expecting too much of another frail mortal. You're very romantic, and yet you're a lot to handle! Don't take this disappointment to heart. As time passes, the whole thing will diminish in your mind. Beware financial speculation. Things will look better than they are (or maybe worse!) Relations with children could send you on a guilt trip. Every parent takes one regularly, make sure you get a reduced rate. Do not react. And remember: a closed mouth gathers no feet.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Confusion about family matters or dealing with relatives is likely this week. This might be due to a genuine misunderstanding in communications. "He said, she said, I thought, who knew?" Make no assumptions when dealing with family members or domestic matters. Don't let others push you around or play on your sympathy. It's good to be loving with family; but it's vital to always maintain your self-respect. Don't let others walk all over you, especially with soccer cleats. If you don't respect your own rights -- others definitely won't! It comes down to self-worth, which is definitely nothing to do with your bank account.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Wool gathering, daydreams and fuzzy thinking are definitely on the menu this week. (Did you want fries with that?) Because of these distractions, it's a mildly accident-prone time for you. Sharpen your concentration while driving, cycling and jogging. Resist the urge to drift off into fantasyland while you're doing something that involves life or death decisions. Misunderstandings with siblings and neighbours will occur. Don't react! Things are not as they appear. Therefore, your reaction will not be appropriate. If you wait a week, this messy stuff will evaporate.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Tread carefully this week. The confusion that attacks everyone hits you in your pocketbook. (Gulp.) You might go overboard spending money on something luxurious. Or you might purchase something expecting it to have certain qualities -- and it doesn't. You might think you have money in the bank and you don't. (Gee, how unusual.) You might be disappointed in your earnings or your savings. You might feel you have to give money to others to help them out. Whatever the case, in all likelihood, you don't have the full picture! Therefore, protect your assets and your cash. Someone might actually deceive you or steal from you. (Don't you hate it when that happens?)
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Now hear this; now hear this. You'll likely have a misunderstanding with a partner or close friend. You'll be disappointed or hurt because of their shabby treatment. (After all you've done for them -- and this is what you get back? Have they no couth? How few understand what you really need! True romance is kaput!) Alternatively, you might be packing your bags for a guilt trip. You're convinced you've let someone else down. Neptune works both ways - either somebody else is the cad or you are. The truth is -- neither is the case. This is all smoke and mirrors. Forget your disappointment. Let it go. In a week -- this is peanuts! (I kid you not.)
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Somewhere deep inside, you truly believe it's a joy to labour for those you love. This week however, you might feel taken advantage of. You're giving, giving, giving and others are taking, taking, taking. You might also have vague worries about dealing with the government or large institutions. Or you might be disappointed or hurt about something. Let these worries go! Things look worse than they are right now. Don't be a martyr to others. And don't be disappointed if they're not grateful. Neptune confuses your judgment right now. Therefore, say nothing; do nothing. A week from now, you'll feel entirely different. Guaranteed.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Friendship means a lot to you. You don't like to do things alone. You like someone else on the end of your teeter-totter. However, this week you might feel let down by a friend or a group. You might be hurt by what someone else says or does. Remember: unexpressed expectations generally lead to disappointment. Others might be entirely oblivious of how you feel! Plus, you're unusually sensitive. Don't dwell on any of this. Much of it is misconstrued and exaggerated in both your mind and the minds of others. (Neptune is doing its thing.) In a few days, when the dust settles all this can be forgotten -- unless you say something now that you later regret. Therefore, zip thy lip.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Each sign is dealing with elements of confusion in a different part of their life this week. You are subject to misunderstandings with bosses, parents, teachers and authority figures. (Cute, eh?) If you're not sure what is expected of you, speak up. If you need to have instructions repeated, don't assume anything -- ask for a clear explanation. If you think others disapprove of you now, don't take this to heart. Everything has an exaggerated quality that seems to be real! If you feel offended or hurt - your feelings are real. But the cause of your pain is not as real you think. Therefore, temper your reaction. (Remember: it's always darkest before it gets pitch black.)
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
When it comes to Neptune, the classic Saggitarian response is to think things are better than they are. You're an optimist! (I read somewhere that General Custer was a triple Sagittarius. The word defeat wasn't even in his vocabulary!) Read the small print in all your dealings with publishing matters, the media, dealing with foreign countries, educational opportunities and everything related to medicine and the law. If something looks too good to be true -- it is. Alternatively, if the sky is falling in any of these areas -- it probably isn't. Neptune makes things look better or worse than they are. Cool your jets. Gear down to neutral. (If you look to your left, you will see we are now going over the Rockies.)
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
You plan for your old age, and respect your investments. Therefore, try to be as realistic as possible this week. There is definitely a confusion with respect to shared holdings, jointly held property, the wealth of others, your partner's income and anything to do with insurance matters, estates, wills and inheritances. Actually, let's throw in debt and taxes as well. If you're upset about any of these areas -- lighten up. Things aren't as bad as they seem. However, if you get an offer from someone, and it seems to be the greatest thing since sliced bread - I suggest you avoid these carbohydrates. Just bide your time. As the week wears on, you'll have a much more realistic take on things.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
You're the flip side of Leo. Both of you will suffer from confused communications and disappointments in your closest relationships this week. Friends and partners will offend, hurt or upset you. But this is just your reaction to what you think is being said or done. All is not as it appears. It's actually much worse. (Just joking.) Therefore, do not react negatively to others. Step back and give this situation a little bit more space - more breathing room. In a few days, you'll see that things were not as you thought; and that I wasn't joking - they're worse! (Sorry. Joking again.)
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Neptune is your ruler. This is why you're a visionary and dreamer with artistic talents in dance, photography, poetry and putting those tiny, little holes in toothbrushes. This week you might feel victimized at work. You feel you "always" do everything, or you get the short end of the stick. You "never" get the perks that others do or that you deserve. Don't fall into self-pity or victim mode. It's anti-productive; it feels lousy; and this week it's not based on reality! Do not make assumptions about coworkers this week. There's a genuine confusion present. In fact, this confusion could even extend to your notion of your own health. Cope as best you can. This fuzzy stuff passes in a few days, especially if you drink a lot of water.
