All Signs
There has been much stress in everyone's world in the last week. Unfortunately, it continues into this week. There are harsh aspects between Mars, Uranus and Pluto, and now three other planets have joined Pluto in Capricorn to add fuel to the flame. This will manifest as accidents, arguments, broken equipment, frustrating delays and power struggles. But one thing we can count on is that nothing stays the same. Good times end and, fortunately, bad times end, too. When it rains, we use an umbrella. When it's cold, we bundle up. When times are tense, the wise choice is to be patient, slow down and cut others some slack. Patience is the antidote to anger. Hey -- Rome wasn't built in a day. In fact, they're still working on it.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Life is testing your patience right now and you know it. In particular, relations with parents and bosses might be maddening. Actually, all your relationships - including partnerships and friendships - might be pretty testy. So what are you going to do? If you scream and wave your hands and demand victory in these skirmishes, what will you win? And more to the point - what will you lose? Basically, we are having two weeks of bad road. There's nothing to do but suck it up and press on. The bigger person - the true hero - is the one who controls their responses and measures their words. ("Here's nine yards.")
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Many of you are having philosophical arguments about politics, religion or racial issues. These are passionate issues that are often not based on logic. Avoid these arguments. Waste of time. You might also have difficulty travelling or working in publishing and the media. Mucho frustrations here as well. Yet others are dealing with legal problems or medical matters. (Pick your problem.) Please be encouraged by the knowledge that this is the last week of the heavy-duty stuff. After this week, we return to our normal level of tension and angst, which was quite sufficient, thank you. Think what you can learn from your frustrations last week and this week, even if it's simply never to do this again.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Arguments about shared property, taxes, debt, inheritances, insurance matters or anything you share jointly with others are tough to avoid. They could easily relate to kids, friends and social occasions. Quite likely, one part of this difficulty is that your values do not jibe with the values of someone else. That's very basic - when values differ. Everyone thinks their own values are best. (Naturally.) At least, shoot for a "live and let live" approach. You don't have to accept someone else's values and they don't have to accept yours but there can be a mutual respect for each other's values - at arm's length. That's the way to play this one right now. With skilful means, you will come out laughing all the way to the bank. Trust me.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
The difficulties of last week are still upon us even if, for some, they are dressed in different details. Partnerships and close friendships are uppermost in your mind now, and it is these same areas, especially related to home and family, where power struggles will occur. Family will always be important to you, it's just who you are. Therefore, it will make your life easier to have successful relations with all your family members. Your life will be more pleasant and so will everyone else's. It's a win-win situation if you handle this with skill and thoughtfulness. The main thing is to avoid arguments. Hey, the bottom line is you want to be happy. And you want happy family relationships as well. Don't get your belly in a rash.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
All this stress surrounding you now, particularly in your everyday relationships - especially with siblings, neighbours and relatives - will not last forever. It's just a tough two-week ordeal. However, the thing to be aware of is this: The way this stress is manifesting for your sign happens to be quite accident-prone. Be careful driving; be careful walking; be careful exercising; be careful dancing; be careful having hot sex. (Years ago, a friend of mine fell out of bed and broke her arm - God's truth.) Similarly, watch out for verbal gaffes or stinging retorts. Think before you speak. Did you know the origin of the word scruples is "to hesitate?" Ponder that for a moment.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Everyone on planet Earth is feeling this two-week stretch of tension. No question. And according to the details of their life and their karma, it will be aggravating or pretty tough. Naturally, each sign feels these frustrations in a different way, although almost all of them will suffer from power struggles and tension in their dealings with others. For your sign, relations with romantic partners and your kids are being tested. In particular, it could be related to disputes about money or possessions or something you own. Arguments and power struggles about parties, sports, vacations and what to do for fun might rob you of some of the joy of these events. Keep truckin'.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
More than any other sign, the tension you experience this week will manifest at home and within your family. Family arguments, heated discussions and power struggles might take place. But all is not lost. Warm feelings and entertaining times are there as well. Resist the urge to make someone over or improve them because this will go over like a lead balloon. You might not realize it but because Mars is in your sign now (for months) you're coming on like gangbusters! Scrutinize the situation and be self-aware. Step back and allow more breathing room to every situation. Easy does it.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
It's weird. Your everyday confrontations make your teeth itch or they trap you in a confrontation with someone. You're not looking for this - it just happens! You have lots of enthusiasm and charm now plus you're keen to talk to others. Nevertheless, these verbal hiccups and nasty little set-to's keep occurring. Something that starts off as an innocent conversation suddenly becomes a power struggle or one-upmanship match. Not only is this unsettling and unpleasant, these negative encounters can make you accident-prone in your everyday life as well. Not good. Chill out because this is the last week of this insanity.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Tension with financial matters, as well as an intense involvement with your possessions or something you own might overwhelm you this week. (Gasp.) Or perhaps disputes about money, possessions and such (possibly earnings) will take place? This might even extend as far as including a friend who is fighting over something with you or members of a group. Whatever the case, it's a royal pain. Fortunately, by the end of this week a lot of this will be put to bed. But in the meantime, last week and this week are testing your good spirits. Keep the faith! A bird in the hand is one thing. But a bird in the fridge can make a great sandwich with mayo and onion.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
These are challenging times for the Federation. In one way, you are blessed because the Sun, Mercury, Venus and the New Moon this week are in your sign boosting your energy, charm and diplomacy. However, fiery Mars and unpredictable Uranus are at odds with you. (Groan.) So you're having a party and your bad cousin has shown up to cause trouble. This is why power struggles with parents, bosses and authority figures as well as upsets and surprise detours at home not only test your patience, but also your resourcefulness. Fortunately, you have always believed, "No pain, no gain." This is the last week for this kind of stress.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
So much is going on behind the scenes it's laughable. And when I say behind the scenes I even mean within your core being there is a lot going on unconsciously or secretly within you. Unfortunately, it can set up a vicious circle of self-doubt where you question yourself and your motives. Relax. The truth is quite simple. The reason most people are at work on Wednesday is because they were at work on Tuesday. We are creatures of habit. Travel plans and matters related to publishing, higher education, the media, medicine and the law could be problematic. In fact, this is an accident-prone week for you so slow down and take it easy. All of this is over in a matter of days. Whew!
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
This is a fabulous, popular time for you. You're enjoying hanging out with younger people and artistic types. However, in the midst of this fun you seem to get into irksome quarrels with others about shared property, jointly-held possessions, taxes, debt, insurance matters or inheritances. Frankly, it's draining. (Especially if you're hung over.) Don't take the bait. Whenever a discussion arises and you can see that it's going to get nasty or mushroom into a power struggle - walk away. Sometimes you are like an emotional sponge and this can bring you down if you are around negative or angry people. You soak up their negativity. Say goodbye to these people. Be choosy about who gets to ride with you.
