All Signs
This weekend, fiery Mars challenges Darth Vader Pluto. Both these planets embody potential aggression. Mars rules our muscles, and the way we assert ourselves to protect our ego. "Oh yeah? Wanna make something out of it?" Pluto's energy is more encompassing and more powerful. However, although Plutonian energy is ruthless, it always wants a superior result. This weekend these planets collide! (Not literally.) We have to learn how to handle this energy skillfully, with compassion and humour. Seneca said, "The greatest remedy for anger is delay". Phyllis Diller agrees, "Never go to bed mad. Stay up and fight."
Aries (March 21-April 19)
As an Aries, you're quick to jump the gun. You make fast decisions, and sometimes hasty conclusions. This weekend you probably feel a bit edgy. It's as if you're driven by something but you're not sure what. You're like a racehorse chomping at the bit in the starting gate. Actually, subconscious fears or resentment of authority figures or being held back by others is probably the base for this murky soup. In other words, whether you're aware of it or not, you're secretly looking for a fight. I say, don't bother. Just forget it. Pluto is part of this formula and this means you could arouse great opposition to you. (If you have to eat crow pie use lots of whipped cream.)
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
You're in a strong position now because the Sun is in your sign. However, you might be in a serious conflict between an individual and a group. You might be the individual, or you might be the member of the group. Whatever the case, the energy of one person is up against the energy of many. It's a power struggle. Make sure you know what your own objective is. Are you trying to change things? If so, timing is everything. You have to know when to pick your fights. In other words, you've gotta know when to hold and when to fold. This is not a good time to stir the pot because others will come at you tooth and nail! Better to live to fight another day.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
You might feel at loggerheads with some kind of authority figure in your life, perhaps a boss, parent, teacher or VIP. Either you or someone else feels that they've had enough and they're prepared to make a stand. This is a very dicey scene. Whenever you go up against people in authority, you can definitely lose or pay a price. You have to ask yourself if it's really worth it. But more than that -- ask yourself if this is the best time to make this kind of stand? After all, you want to succeed. You want cooperation. You want others to understand where you're coming from. It's unlikely you'll succeed now because others are too ready to oppose you.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Disputes can arise now about political matters, racial tension, religious ideologies, or perhaps mundane details related to publishing, the media, medicine and the law, or something related to education. You might be out there trying to rally your forces. (Lord knows you're tenacious!) You feel you have the right to do whatever it is you want to do. And this may be the case. Nevertheless, the gods are not with you now. This is not the best time to go up against others by refuting their beliefs or trying to improve them. They won't listen to you. They'll fight back. Far better to have a barbecue and invite your friends over. It's OK to try to prove something - but not this week.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
You might be quarreling with somebody simply because you have a different set of values. Leo is quick to see the big picture. You understand the theatre of life. You understand how people react to events and experiences. Plus you're a natural manager. It's frustrating for you when others cannot appreciate this, and in fact, do things that thwart the desired result. Oy! (How dumb can these people be!) Nevertheless, you have to work with them. What to do? I suggest you do nothing - not right now. That's because there are none so deaf as those who are wearing headphones. People are in a combative mode. Delay your actions.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Conflict with partners and close friends is likely now. It's actually a power struggle. You want to do things one-way; someone else wants to do things a different way. You might even be trying to reform or improve or make somebody over; or somebody else is trying to do this to you. Give it up. This isn't going to work. You're going to have to deal with these people in the future, especially if we're talking about a marriage partner or someone you live with. Will a victory today make next week or next month easier? I don't think so. Rather than fight with someone and provoke further opposition, why not let sleeping dogs lie? (For just now.)
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
The quality of Libra is very curious because on one hand, you're one of the most fabulous debaters in the zodiac. That's why so many of you are in the field of law. Yet ironically, you want harmony and not conflict. You prefer to run away from unpleasant confrontations. Now someone is opposing your ideas at work. Your ideas might be excellent. They might introduce new reforms or better ways of doing things. (After all, another one of your strengths is seeing all sides of a question.) But you know you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him water-ski. You're flirting with getting hurt or provoking harmful actions against you. Don't do this. Back off.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
You might be fighting with your children, or a lover. Possibly, you're in a power struggle about sports, the arts, gambling, or something related to a vacation. Know this: you can be intimidating even though you don't think so. (Moi?) Don't throw your weight around this week. Others will only resent you, and they might even short sheet your bed. (Hey - how dangerously do you want to live?) It takes a 'bigger' person, who is wiser and more mature to walk away from a scuffle. You're so strong you're really don't have anything to prove. Don't risk damaging your self-respect and your integrity over something that will be completely forgotten when the annals of history are written. Capice?
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
There is no family on the planet that doesn't suffer from negativity, quarrels and problems. Factoid. Right now some kind of insanity could be taking place at home. It could be chaos and confusion due to renovations, residential moves or visiting guests. But it could also be due to domestic tension between family members. This is a real bummer. Hey -- we only get really angry at the people we love. That's because there's so much at stake! If you can remind yourself of this, you might feel more compassion and patience while you're dealing with this person who really ticks you off! This is just a power struggle. Walk away. You can't win.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
This particular Mars/Pluto confrontation (see All Signs above) affects your sign right where you talk, debate, and relate to everyone! It can even affect your driving. You want to win every argument. There doesn't seem to be any wiggle room. You want to win so bad, you're tempted to be ruthless. Alternatively, you might attract someone like this to you. Either way, it's not pretty. Just let this stuff go. Don't power-play your way to a 'victory'. Your reputation is important to you. You value the respect of others. Since people are defensive and ready to oppose you, why would you persist? How does this make you look?
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
I once read that people are more private about their financial life than they are about their sex life. I agree. Right now, it's very possible that you're having a power struggle with somebody about financial matters or something related to your possessions. Well, plain and simple - you want a satisfactory result. No? The best way to do this is to have this kind of discussion when people are in a more receptive frame of mind. Hello? Why talk to others when all they're saying to you is, "Talk to the hand!" Next week is a far better time to do this. You're stronger and in a better position as well. Would I kid you?
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
You've been working hard for a long time; and now you sense minor successes are within your grasp. And you're right. This is why you feel so excited about something. You're on a roll and you don't want anyone to stop you. This is why you're embroiled in power struggles with - yikes -- anyone! "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!" Now hear this: the same energy that pushes you into conflict with others can be used to creatively transform the world around you. Don't bother fighting because you'll only raise opposition against you. Instead, use this energy to clean up things and make changes around you that you want to see done. Yo!
