All Signs
Last week I mentioned that Mercury retrograde was upon us because the month of August is a poor time to buy all forms of ground transportation and items related to communication like cell phones, printers and computers. Let me repeat those dates: The actual retrograde time is from Aug. 13 to Sept. 5; however, avoid major purchases from today until Sept. 20. Forewarned is forearmed! This week, lucky moneybags Jupiter and big daddy Pluto are at odds. This will trigger obsession, ambition, gain and loss. Yes -- the stuff of soap operas! (Sometimes they can be fun; but you never know if someone is dead... even if you see the body. And who is your father - really?)
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Partnerships and close friendships are tricky this week. It is entirely possible that they will expand your world in an exciting way. You might meet powerful people through someone close to you. Or your partner or a close friend might inspire you and encourage your ambition by telling you that you can achieve your dreams. How gratifying! Conversely, you might feel jealous of someone or mistrust them for some reason. Even if you try to get along and assume a positive stance in the relationship - something could go haywire and everything goes south in a New York minute. (Like what's with that?) Yes, it's tricky; and you don't have to take the blame. Remember that.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Take care of your health right now because you the Jupiter/Pluto dance might impact your health. Meanwhile, you are very ambitious at work. You want to get ahead and you want to make a name for yourself. The thing to remember when both Jupiter and Pluto are in the picture is that what you put out there comes back to you in spades! Therefore, be aboveboard. Be a straight shooter. If you try to bend the rules in any way or slag someone it could come back to bite you. Follow your impulse to introduce reforms whether it's organizing things physically where you work or in a more abstract way dealing with the structure of power and organization. Good luck!
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
For some reason, many of you will have strong feelings about your kids this week, especially with respect to inheritances, shared property and the financial and practical support you might be able to give to your kids. Others will have similar strong opinions but instead of being involved with kids, they will relate to romance, sports events, social times, the arts or even vacations. Whatever the case, you definitely know what you want to achieve and you want to get your way. You want to use a support from another source. But what source? An external source? A shared financial source? Whatever the source - you want to use is the best way to achieve your dreams. Can you do this now?
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
For some time now, you have had serious thoughts and plans about achieving your dream home. This might come about because you will move, or renovate, or buy, or sell. Whatever you intend to achieve- this week you have strong desires about what you hope to do. No question. Very possibly, this involves a major project where you will repair, restore or rebuild something. Note: This is an ambitious project but it will ultimately produce a superior result. Nevertheless, do not be inflexible. Allow room for others to have input. If you don't, something might backfire or later disappoint. It's okay to stand up for what you want but be inclusive. Don't shut others out.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
You might surprise others this week because you will be coming on like gangbusters! This particular quality of enthusiasm and intensity will work well if you need to sell, market, teach, act or persuade someone to agree with you. However, be aware that you might also blow the hair back on some people, which is not so good. ("Both it! Stop of you!") This means you have to pick and choose your moments. An interaction with a sibling or relative might be meaningful or it could go wrong. Be careful about being intoxicated by power. When the annals of history are written, will any of this really matter? Since you hold all the cards right now - you can take the high road. (And that's your style.)
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
You feel super intense about financial matters this week. Perhaps the reason you feel so strongly is you have big ideas about how to boost your income. Or perhaps you are ambitious to get a better paying job? For some of you, this might instead entail making a major purchase. Whatever the case, you want to move heaven and earth to achieve your ends. Ah ha! This is where you have to be careful. Your ambitious efforts might backfire - so watch your step. Make sure you know what you're doing and what your objective is. It's important to have high ideals now and avoid anything shady. If you are less than scrupulous, you might encounter disappointment. Aim for the highest good.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
You feel quite pleased with yourself this week because you have set big issues in motion. It's all relative - but in your own world, you know you are doing big things, achieving important tasks and making a difference. But now you face the temptation of hubris - that's smug little feeling that you are better than others. Let us not confuse this with feeling good about yourself, which is perfectly wonderful. You should feel good about yourself, especially with what you can achieve this week. It's okay to have your head in the clouds but keep your feet are on the ground. We are all just frail mortals hoping for a bigger bandwidth.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
You make a fabulous impression on others now - and you know it. (And just think of how great life will be when Jupiter enters your sign in October for the first time since 2006. Glory hallelujah!) But I digress. This week your ruler Pluto has an intense dance with Jupiter, which can prompt you to look at things philosophically or spiritually. Even ideas that you once entertained but forgot about might resurface now, and you see their validity, even if they are a bit "way out." Like Louise Hay affirmations or aromatherapy. (Could be anything you once flirted with.) Sometimes the most innocuous things can lead to deeper realizations. Life is curious that way.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
You might have a profound interaction with a friend this week; or perhaps this interaction will be with a group. Whatever the case, it will not be casual. You might want to lead this group or convince them to see things in a certain way - and you might be right. You might want to rebuild something from the ground up whether it is physical property, a neighbourhood, an association, a group or an idea. Obviously, your intentions are the best. This is why it can be disappointing when others do not grasp your dreams. You can only do what you can do, which is a sobering realization. C'est la vie.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Your ambition is aroused this week. You know it and others know it as well. Your hopes for success are bigger and more expansive than usual. You really want to go for the brass ring! Fortunately, your belief in yourself is fundamental and it will give you strength. But you have to know what you're doing. If you don't know what you're doing, then you're working from arrogance. If you do know what you're doing - then you're working with confidence. Make sure you know the difference. Don't be tempted to reach for power for its own sake because you will trigger opposition to you. It's true that power corrupts but hey, we all need electricity.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Several things are at play for you this week. Some of you can make amazing advances by exploring avenues in higher education, medicine, the law or anything to do with publishing and the media. In fact, legal matters might really come to a head now. The tricky thing about issues this week, especially legal issues, is that you have to be on the right side of the law. If you try anything shady - it could boomerang against you. However, some of you will make deeper connections that are philosophical, metaphysical and inspirational. This can be a very enlightening time for you if you open the right doors. (Everytime a door closes, fewer mosquitoes get in.)
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
At this time, something very powerful is happening that affects your financial connections with others including inheritances, taxes, debt, insurance disputes and anything that you own jointly with others. The changes that you can make now are sweeping and major. They might be changes that are tangible and financial. Or these changes might be in your attitude and your belief about how to improve your life through your financial connections with others. You might even change your value system or challenge someone else's value system. In one way, you are working hard now as well as enjoying good times socially and romantically. But at a profound level, big things are taking place and it's a good thing.
