All Signs
In the planetary dance of the heavens this week, we have a fun situation followed by a tough one. The fun situation is on Wednesday, when Venus dances very nicely with Uranus, triggering various kinds of impulsive, illuminating, liberating, unexpected situations. Yay! Like someone gorgeous suddenly popping out of a big cake! However, on Friday, the Sun and Saturn are at odds, which brings challenges, criticisms, limitations and frustrations. Yes, you win some, you lose some. Obstacles like these will be exhausting. They might make you feel tired and world weary. I think that if you took all the people who fell asleep at work, and laid them end to end, they'd be more comfortable.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
In the beginning of the week, surprise invitations to unusual social events will excite you. In fact, sudden opportunities to do fun things and meet people who are different from your regular friends will be quite thrilling. New flirtations could trigger a quick love affair that is memorable but temporary. Playful times with children and sports events will also be unpredictable and different. By the end of the week, you might feel you've blown all your money on good times and now you have to pay the piper. Financial restrictions or obligations for others cannot be ignored. Your reality check is overdue and you're out of cache. I hate it when that happens.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
A spontaneous gathering might take place at your home. Possibly, a family member will surprise you with a lovely gift or an unusual suggestion. A sweet, real-estate opportunity might suddenly appear at the beginning of the week. Or you might even buy modern art or something unusual for your home or for a family member. Whatever happens at the beginning and in the middle of this week will be unexpected but pleasant! However, by Friday, your relations with an older family member, perhaps a parent, will be strained. Something that you want to do will meet with opposition. Others will not go along with your ideas. Oh well, this is just a temporary setback. Don't get your belly in a rash. Forgive your enemies - it drives them crazy.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
This week is full of exciting activities. This might include a sudden invitation to go on a short trip; or a chance to meet someone new, who is unusual; or fantastic opportunities related to sales, marketing, teaching and acting. These are just some things that will come to you out of the blue and make this week exciting and fast-paced. Just the way you like things to be. (Geminis never sit around getting dusty.) Nevertheless, by Friday, something connected to your work, your job, a special task you're doing and possibly even something related to your health - will create a delay or obstacle for you. It will be the kind of energy that holds you back or stops you in your tracks. ("He folded like a cheap suit.")
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Be on the lookout for unexpected financial opportunities this week. You can expect a sudden change that might boost your earnings or a chance to get a better job. Some of you might impulsively buy something that is unusual and exciting. Something related to your cash flow will please you, whether it's coming or going. But at the end of the week, increased responsibilities with children, or perhaps the cost of schooling, a vacation, or a special social event will sober you up. There is nothing you can do about it except to bow gracefully to this reality, because it is a reality. Oh well - dreams are free but there's always a small charge for alterations.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
This week is exciting for you. The Sun, Venus and Mars are all in your sign; and Venus will get an electrical zap from Uranus. Zowie! This means you might suddenly buy an item of clothing that is unusual - but you love it. New cowboy boots? You will also receive surprise invitations to events that are unusual or different. You might also encounter someone who is avant-garde or bohemian. Whatever happens will be unusual, stimulating and exciting! By Friday, the tone of things changes due to increased responsibilities at home or dealings with a parent or an older family member. You might make an important decision that affects home and family. It will likely involve elements of restriction, boundaries and limitations. Oy vey.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
This week, you feel excited and eager about life! Those who have been reading this column know that lucky Jupiter is in your sign now for the first time in 12 years. Furthermore, it's going to stay in your sign for a whole year! This is a major bonus. It triggers a 12-year growth cycle for you; and brings you joy, good fortune and makes life easier. You will be happier this year! A secret love affair or surprising flirtation might make your week sizzle. Don't get carried away if by Friday, you are worried about something. This will likely happen but it's just a temporary dark cloud on your horizon. Good judgment comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgment.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
You are a social sign. You're a born schmoozer. You will love meeting unusual people and being stimulated by unexpected connections with others. You might get an invitation to join a group. You might be introduced to someone who is "different." Possibly, someone you already know will say or do something that amazes you. The bottom line is that your social interactions with others will be sudden, surprising and liberating, for some reason. You might even feel younger. Hold that thought because by Friday, financial restrictions might limit your involvement with a group or your interactions with someone. Just remember - friends don't let friends drive naked.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
You are high viz. now because the Sun is at high noon in your chart, casting a flattering light on you. Authority figures think you're great! Just enjoy this. In part, this is why an unexpected bonus, or promotion, or introduction might really turn your crank. You might have a sudden crush on your boss or someone in a position of authority or someone who is richer and more powerful. Others might super endorse you, and this, in turn, amazes you. Whatever happens is upbeat and good for you! But nothing lasts forever, does it? By Friday, you will feel a squeeze play with an authority figure - a parent or boss. Whatever happens might discourage you. "Toto, I have a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore."
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
There's no question that the theme for the rest of the summer for you includes travel. This week, you might get a surprise chance to go somewhere. (Keep that bag packed by the door.) Others will have unexpected opportunities to explore in publishing, the media, medicine and the law. Or you might get a chance to get further education or take a course. Whatever happens will be sudden and exciting! By Friday, a different tone overtakes your week. Something that is more serious will force you to sit up and take notice. It will be like a reality check. Oh well, if the world didn't suck, we'd all fall off.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
It's true that money can't buy friends, but it will get you a better class of enemy. In fact, this is what you might encounter at the end of the week when someone restricts your idea of what to do with shared property. Or perhaps, someone makes sure that you don't get your fair share of something? Or someone older simply refuses to help you with your responsibilities? A relationship with someone older will limit you in some way or be a burden. Fortunately, you will be able to handle this because at the beginning of the week, an unexpected gift, or favour, or even outright cash - will fall in your lap. This lovely advantage will delight you. For some it could even be sexual. Hmmm. Whatever the case, it is unexpected and thrilling. "I've got everything I never wanted!"
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
This week will be a bit of a roller coaster with your closest friendships and partnerships. At the beginning of the week, someone will surprise you with an unusual suggestion. It might be a suggestion for a different arrangement about the relationship itself. It might be something kinky. Perhaps someone will demand more freedom in the relationship? Whatever happens will keep you on your toes, that's for sure. But later in the week, a boss, parent or someone in a position of authority will put a different spin on things. You might have to account for yourself. You might have to accept increased responsibilities. Whatever happens will be burdensome or limit you in some way. Just remember - a chicken crossing the road is just poultry in motion.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Get ready for some pleasant news that relates to your job, your daily tasks, or your health. It might even have something to do with a pet. Whatever this news or event is, it's unexpected, sudden, surprising and, probably a welcome thing. (There could be exceptions to this; someone might get a surprise they don't like.) But on the whole, something thrilling and out of the ordinary will delight you, possibly on Wednesday. Some will get an unexpected raise or praise. Others might meet a real character, especially through work. However, by Friday, these same areas are suddenly the source of burdens, obstacles, restrictions and increased responsibilities. Travel plans might be blocked. Ditto for plans to get further training or education. Don't let this get you down. Remember your motto: "The difficult we do immediately; the impossible takes a little longer."
