All Signs
This weekend is pleasant and upbeat. However, by Monday, things start to become wobbly, and by Wednesday, they're positively obsessive-compulsive! Yup -- it's the full gamut, folks. (You wanted less?) Enjoy good times while they last. Be aware that Monday is fuzzy and out of focus because the Sun opposes Neptune (smoke and mirrors) and everyone is confused. By Tues. night/Wed., Venus squares Pluto (gulp) making everyone passionately adamant about whatever they feel passionately adamant about. We're not talking about a yen for Ben & Jerry's Cherry Garcia. We're talking hot sex! Alas, it's more likely, a white-knuckle refusal to accept changes in relationships. Enter stage left: Queen of Denial murmuring, "I never met a piece of chocolate I didn't like."
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Be very careful with financial speculation. Your optimism is initially well founded. Romance, playful times, artistic and social occasions, sports and playing a long shot all pay off. Whee! However, nothing lasts forever. (Therein lies your downfall.) Your insistence to keep the party on its feet could trigger disillusioning moments by Monday. (Disillusionment is toughest on a Monday. Everyone knows that.) By Wednesday, you're demanding at work. You insist on implementing improvements whether anyone wants them are not. (Sigh.) It's a crime when your superior ideas remain unappreciated by others. "Wretch, have you no couth?"
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Everything at home is hunky dory. Home-baked cookies, lemonade and a cat purring on your lap. Hey, it could be nachos and a margarita on the rocks -- lose the cat. The bottom-line is its home sweet home. But lo! Don't let this cozy scene lull you into a stupor. By Monday, you need your wits about you when you talk to family members, parents and authority figures. (Is that when the amnesia set in?) Agree to nothing important then. By midweek, your objectivity about romantic relationships, sports, and show business is completely shot to pieces. You're frothing at the mouth. This intensity also applies to parents. (Don't lose it.) Forewarned is forearmed.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
You feel positive, upbeat and confident. In fact, this weekend you see there is power in positive thinking. (Now there's a catchy phrase - someone should embroider that.) However, too much of a good thing is too much of a good thing, and you soon find yourself doubting everything! You feel confused, dazed, distracted by fantasies, and filled with doubts about your penchant for picking up doorknobs. (These things happen.) Others might even deceive you. At best, you waste time daydreaming. At worst, you're betrayed. People are working behind your back. Fortunately, this passes swiftly. (It will pass even more swiftly if you drink lots of water.)
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Initially, you feel positive and enthusiastic about financial matters, your ability to earn money, and perhaps a recent, wonderful purchase. (You always feel better when you wrap yourself in cash.) However, just when life was looking sweet, some kind of deception or confusion about your finances or something you own puts a damper on things. One moment, you're rich, fat and happy. The next moment, you're bankrupt and still fat. Is there no justice? That's why you're pacing the floors by Wednesday. Conversations with siblings, neighbours and relatives are blunt and edgy. How quickly things pass! Happiness becomes uncertainty and confusion. But just as easily - it can become happiness again! (Go figure.)
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
The Sun and retrograde Mercury are in your sign flirting with lucky Jupiter. You feel like a winner! (Take two, they're small.) Your enthusiasm knows no bounds. Everyone wants to be in your presence. Your joy is contagious! So much for the good part. By Monday, you don't recognize yourself in the mirror. Conversations with partners and close friends trigger doubt and feelings of inadequacy. You feel victimized. These feelings of insecurity soon become an obsessive desire to shop or alternatively, to hoard your money. (The sky is falling! The sky is falling!) Don't worry. These are just the extreme swings of the pendulum. You're really still in the centre. Don't let your obsessions grab hold of you. Go for a walk.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
You feel quietly happy about life. You have faith in your future. God's in Her heaven and all's right with the world. (You might even take up quilting.) However, as mentioned in All Signs above, when Neptune enters the picture, your confidence is shaken. You might not even know why. Matters at work are perplexing. This disorientation creates an intensity that confuses relationships with parents, family members and domestic issues. Suddenly, you're grasping and demanding and eating bags of Oreos when no one is looking. All of these things are very brief. In the big picture, they're small potatoes. (Are there any more of those chips left?)
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Your dealings with others are upbeat and successful this weekend. You want to be part of something bigger than yourself; therefore, you're gung ho to cooperate with people and vice versa. This is how things should be! By Monday however, you're disappointed and confused by the very people who made you feel so great. What gives? How can something so good turn so sour so fast? (Ever leave milk out in the sun?) This confusion provokes private feelings of revenge and guilt. You're hatching devious, little plans. (Where does one buy eye of newt?) Stop these thoughts. Be grateful for who you are and what you have. In the big picture -- life is good and will continue to be so. Would I kid you?
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Your career looks fabuloso! Everyone thinks you're hot stuff. (You just shrug modestly and grin.) VIPs are impressed with you; your bathroom mirror is covered in kisses. That's why the Fickle Finger of Fate is such a bummer. By Monday, you're not even sure your who your boss is. Who was that masked man? (Mom's acting kinda funny too.) Was your success just a house of cards? This makes you very intense in all your dealings with groups and friends. Suddenly, relationships are in the toilet. People are either uncooperative or smothering and restrictive. Now hear this: the good part was an illusion; which means the bad part is an illusion too. Make friends with partners. Settle down. Your career this year will be wonderful.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
All your plans are falling wonderfully in place! Especially matters related to publishing, the media, dealing with foreign countries, medicine and the law. You've got the world in the palm of your hand. People love you! That's why new developments on Monday are a bit unnerving. You thought everything was in the bag. Now -- you're left holding it! "O serpent heart, hid with a flow'ring face! Did ever dragon keep so fair a cave?" (You get the drift.) Do not be disillusioned. Stay thy gentle hand before yon ATM machine. Dost think money grows on trees? Avoid nasty discussions with bosses and parents. Keep working hard on your original project. After it falls apart, it will all come together again. Voila!
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
The wealth and resources of others bring you abundant opportunities now. You're enriched by favours and advantages that others shower upon you. Life is good! How then, can you feel so betrayed so quickly? Did you misread the situation? I don't think so. Confusion about shared property, wills, estates, inheritances, taxes and debt could be due to someone's sleight-of-hand. Keep your eyes open. Hide your wallet. Fervent feelings related to religious or political ideas could drain your resources. But is this a good idea? I think not. Don't react impulsively to anything. When the dust settles, you'll be glad you were patient and prudent. (As one always is.)
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
You're excited about travel plans or matters connected with publishing, foreign countries, the media, medicine and the law. You're on top of your game! You feel reassured by something at a deep level. (It feels good to have a warm feeling in your tummy.) On Monday however, dealings with partners and someone close to you are confusing, disheartening and disillusioning. (Yikes -- heavy stuff.) Deceit might be in the picture. ("Oh cruel world!") Meanwhile, chaos and mucho activity at home (plus a little tension) keep you on your toes. Guard against feeling obsessive about sex, shared property and other people's wealth. You need objectivity to maintain your clarity in this situation. (Relax. You've got it.)
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Everything to do with your health and your job are suddenly very encouraging. You feel enthused about future possibilities. The resources of others now open exciting doors for you that will expand your world through travel, increased wealth and welcomed support. That's why it's surprising to find that coworkers (or a particular situation at work) are not straightforward with you. You thought you understood what the scene was. Now, you're not even sure what's going down! How can things change so fast? Be careful. Your reactions (disappointment, distrust or suspicion) could make you do something extreme or underhanded with bosses and VIPs. Don't do this! Take the high road. (Or I'll be in Scotland before you.)
