All Signs
A number of different and contradictory planetary influences exist this week. It's how life works: the good, the bad and the ugly. (Let's hope there's no ugly.) What we have is a mix of idealism plus lucky good fortune, offset by verbal power struggles and repressed anger that's probably best dealt with by hard work. Bertrand Russell said there are two kinds of work: "Altering the position of matter at or near the Earth's surface relative to other matter; and telling other people to do so." Generally the latter gets paid more because they have to talk so much. Not that I believe hard work is always "the answer" but it is a productive way to blow off steam. (Lord knows it's impossible to get something off your chest and keep your shirt on!)
Aries (March 21-April 19)
It's a bit of a crapshoot this week. Initially, you feel very inspired or idealistic about something, especially related to groups or perhaps even talking to siblings. You might join some kind of group effort to help others. Perhaps that's why something lovely and unexpected happens to you or within your family. You might get a gift or buy something high-tech or very modern and artsy-fartsy. Unexpected real-estate deals could look sweet. However, by midweek, clashes with neighbours, siblings and relatives might really get your goat. By coincidence (or a domino effect) you end up seething in anger about something at work. Prepare yourself for this pleasant little moment around Thursday. Truthfully, let it go. Instead focus on making your digs look more beautiful.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Some of you have spotted something quite elegant and luxurious, and you simply must have it! (You do like your creature comforts; I hope you can afford it.) New, exciting and unusual people will come into your life this week, which brings a refreshing change. Spontaneous short trips might also be a little thrill. Nevertheless, financial disputes or arguments about who is responsible for what or how something is to be shared or divided are unavoidable. Perhaps this is why you're ticked off with romantic partners or unhappy with children; and yet, for some reason, you can't really express your displeasure. "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!" Did I say that?
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Your money scene looks great this week! Surprise gifts, goodies or income, along with spontaneous (but fun) purchases, will really make your day. Some of you might start to see how to generate self-employment or make a little money on the side. Be careful midweek because tension with partners and close friends could erupt into a nasty power struggle. We're talking guilt trips, jealousy and mind games you would never indulge in. (Moi?) This leaves you sitting at home feeling unhappy with family members, and yet saying nothing. ("If I say anything it will sound petty - and I'm not petty, so I won't say anything. Grrr."
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
This might be a lovely week for you in many ways. You feel quite selfless with respect to others - not in a martyr way but in a sincere desire to help someone or relieve their suffering in some way. Perhaps it is this good impulse that suddenly brings you a stroke of luck and good fortune? (Because that's what can happen.) New love might spring up. Some kind of exciting diversion or new kind of entertainment will be thrilling. Something pleasant and surprising is on the way with your name on it! However, later in the week, perhaps a secret or something behind the scenes annoys you. It could be gossip that finally reaches your ears. "Whaaat?" This makes it difficult talking to siblings and daily contacts. Oh well.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Group activities are particularly inspiring right now. You might meet someone who you admire; or you might join in a group effort that has a noble cause. You feel excited about life, and you feel fortunate and lucky to be you. All kinds of new ideas are buzzing around in your head and it's all rather thrilling! However, midweek, some kind of power struggle with a friend or a member of a group could be nasty. It's all about control. Don't let others try to talk you into anything you don't want to be talked into. People can be very pushy now! Especially, don't get talked out of money or into spending money in a way that you don't want to spend it. Be careful here.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Exciting and unusual group activities will thrill you at the beginning of the week. Not only will these events be unusual (and fun!), you might also meet someone who is different, stimulating and unlike anyone you've ever met before. Perhaps your enthusiasm makes you want to rally the troops or convince others, especially parents, bosses and VIPs about your new ideas? Or perhaps these same people are trying to convince you about something? Either way, what begins as enthusiasm could end as harried bombardment. Who needs that? Not you! Whatever happens, you feel trapped and caught up in something you cannot escape. Yup. This is where the hard work part comes in. (See All Signs above.) Just roll up your sleeves and get busy.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Wonderful opportunities to promote your career or your good name among your peers exist. Something exciting will come your way. It could be a raise, praise, a promotion or a chance to make a fabulous impression on others. You shine! Don't let this success blind you to the point that you're so zealous about something you want to convince the world to agree with you. (The world is not interested.) Alternatively, this could happen in reverse, and you are attacked! I suspect, however, it is the former, and you end up quietly fuming because others fail to appreciate the offerings of your genius. It was ever thus.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Unexpected opportunities to travel or explore further education or training might delight you today. Or you could meet someone from a very different background or different country. You might also get a sweet break with publishing, the media, medicine and the law that makes your day at the beginning of the week. You're happy! By contrast, arguments and power struggles about shared property, inheritances, debt, taxes and insurance matters make you lock horns with someone. Ouch! By the end of the week, you're displeased with a friend. Perhaps there's a connection? Perhaps not.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
There's good news and there's bad news. The good news is you could suddenly get a gift of cash or goodies, or opportunities and favours that suddenly fall in your lap. Ker-plunk! Definitely keep your pockets open! Your luck and good fortune will probably manifest in a tangible way. (We're talking swag. Yeehaw!) However, partners and close friends are difficult. (What's with them?) To make matters worse, bosses, parents, teachers and VIPs are also difficult to deal with by the middle of the week. Grrr. (You have a secret wish to don a scarlet cape and deal a blushing crow, thereby taking care of them in one swell foop. Ah ha!)
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
It's certainly a mixed blessing this week. At the beginning of the week, things are very smooth, especially at work. You're full of imaginative ideas. You also feel very sympathetic and helpful to co-workers. New love and new romance or an unexpected commitment from a casual partner could be thrilling. Existing partners and close friends will definitely surprise you in a pleasant way. But it looks like you're grinding your teeth by midweek about something at work. Don't let your need for perfectionism drive you and others to drink. (Work is the curse of the drinking class.)
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Artists can be particularly productive right now. Your imagination is in overdrive. You're full of wonderful ideas. You're also delighted by good news and fun events at work. Something unexpected, either with your job or your co-workers, is a thrilling surprise. Introduction of new technology or new gizmos always turns your crank. ("And it weighs less than three pounds!") Sadly, by midweek, power struggles with children and romantic partners will create a dark cloud on your horizon. Don't beat others over the head with your ideas, even if you're right. Remember: You're born 50 years ahead of your time. What do they know?
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Tra-la, tra-la! Surprise romance, new love, unexpected vacation opportunities, free tickets to music or sports, or just unpredictable yummies make you happy. You feel like a winner! (Take two - they're small.) What a shame power struggles at home or with family take place during the week, especially with parents. Gulp. Whatever happens might rebound so unfavourably you end up being mad at partners and close friends, but you can't really say anything because it would be too cheesy. But you're still mad! Be careful here. These feelings aren't going to go away, so you have to do something with them. Believe it or not, hard work, especially with metals like steel and iron, will make you feel better! Well, at least, better is better. So say we all.
