All Signs

It's an easy-going week! Two things to note are Mercury retrograde and Mars moving into Scorpio to stay for two months. Wherever Mars is in your chart, it brings energy! However, the kind of energy that Mars has is ego-oriented. Me, me, me! Mine, mine, mine! Of course, this energy can be harnessed, which means you can work and get a lot done and be productive. But Mars can also make you bossy, pushy, demanding and excessive if it's not handled right. "Moi?" Yes, you! Meanwhile, retrograde Mercury creates confused communications and sabotages plans. Five-year plan? I haven't even planned this sentence volcano.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Mercury is retrograde in the part of your chart dealing with travel, foreign countries, the media, publishing, medicine and the law. This means you will encounter travel delays - no question. You will also be more involved with people from other countries or hear from past encounters from other countries. Ironically, you will want to travel for pleasure because Venus will urge you to do so. Meanwhile, for the next two months, expect disputes about inheritances, shared property and other people's values because of your ruler Mars. On the other hand, Mars will amp your sex drive! Woot! Lingerie sales will go up in Aries households.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This week there are four planets in your chart dealing with other people's money and wealth, including your partner's. Expect to discuss inheritances, shared property, taxes and debt, as well as differing values. (Sigh.) Mercury retrograde will bring a second look at these issues. Matters from the past will be back on your plate regarding loans and shared property. However, money and gifts will come to you easily! Yay! Meanwhile, Venus continues to make intimate relations sweet and passionate! Expect lots of make-up sex because Mars is opposite your sign for the next two months creating annoyances with your partner. Patience is your best friend.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

For the next two months, Mars will super energize you in your job, your work and your health! Yes, you will be PowerPoint on steroids! This is excellent news because it means you will have energy and focus to accomplish what you want to do at work. Because Mars is related to your muscles as well as your ego, you will be physically stronger than usual. However, take note: Because you will be such a fireball at work, you will assume this is the norm. You will expect coworkers to be just as energetic - but they won't be. Don't get on their case and be demanding. They are working at their usual pace - nothing wrong with that. Meanwhile, ex-partners will be back in your life during the holidays but it will be easy because Venus will soften things. Relax.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You are entering a "work hard/play hard" time for your sign. Four planets now energize you and give you lots of energy to pour into your job and also to buff your bod and do whatever you can to feel healthier! Warm relations with coworkers will be supportive and welcomed. In fact, a work-related romance might begin. Admittedly, Mercury retrograde will drive you crazy with silly errors, lost paperwork and misplaced items. But it will all be small stuff. Irritating but not monumental. Meanwhile, for the next two months, Mars will make you playful, saucy and flirtatious! Let the games begin! Plan on a fun-filled holiday season! Oh yeah!

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

This week you want to play! You want vacations and romantic excursions! Four planets are focused in the part of your chart promising fun escapes, especially to places that you have been to before. Romance and love affairs will definitely flourish! Enjoy the arts, playful activities with children and sports events. Expect to encounter ex-lovers and old flames. Fortunately, things will flow smoothly. I can't say that about home life, however, because increased chaos and activity will take place on the home front for the next two months. (Yikes!) Renovations, residential moves and visiting guest might trigger domestic conflict. Use your Leo leadership to maintain peace.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You're involved with family matters, especially family issues from the past. In fact, relatives might be camped on your doorstep. This is also an excellent week to redecorate your home and buy beautiful things for yourself and loved ones. Family discussions will take place. You will also enjoy entertaining at home. Quite likely, you will take charge of things because for the next two months, your communications with others are bolder and more colourful! You won't hesitate to speak out. Writers, salespeople and those in marketing, acting and teaching can use this energy in the next two months to great advantage. "Now hear this! Now hear this!" Yes, the world is listening to you!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You will work hard to boost your earnings in the next two months - no question. However, because Mars will energize one of your Money Houses (which includes cash flow in both directions), it also means you will spend a lot of money as well in the next two months. Meanwhile, four planets now sit in the part of your chart focused on communications. Venus indicates you can make money from your words. (Good news for writers, editors, salespeople, actors and teachers!) However, retrograde Mercury will create transportation delays, auto breakdowns, mixed-up communications and missed appointments. Just remember like everyone else, you are unique.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Fiery Mars moves into your sign this week to stay for two months! Yowsers! Mars is an energy planet. It represents your ego drive. When it's in your sign, you work hard because you have lots of physical energy! This means in the next two months, you have a chance to show the world what you can do! You will be more of a fighter for your own rights than usual - even a fighter for others! Because all this energy can build up within you, and then "leak out" with caustic comments - it is wise to be physically active to blow off pent-up steam. Hit the gym! Walk or jog. Do something! Meanwhile, this week you're focused on money matters because money matters. Double check details because Mercury retrograde will create mistakes. Ka-ching!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You are energized because the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Saturn are in your sign. The Sun makes people notice you! It also helps you focus on your life direction. Venus makes you charming, diplomatic and attractive. In fact, this is an excellent week to buy wardrobe goodies. Admittedly, Mercury is retrograde, which means maddening little mistakes will confound you. Just grin and bear it. Saturn wants you to plan sensibly for the future. This is a strong week for you! Get things done. Enjoy schmoozing. (Keep the dream going. Hit the snooze button.) Be careful of someone behind the scenes who does not have your best interests at heart. If you think something fishy is going on - it is.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Two different influences are at play this week. Mars will energize you and make you bold and daring dealing with friends and groups. You're leader of the pack! You might also compete with a friend or a group. However, aside from this strong energy that helps you deal with friends and groups - a gaggle of planets is "hiding" in your chart. This means you are hiding, too. It also means a lot of stuff is going on behind the scenes - some of which you are aware of and some of which you aren't. Secret love affairs are one example. Also an old recurring problem might raise its head again. Be careful. "Hear no evil, see no evil, date no evil."

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

A popular week! You are out there flying your colours and enjoying good times with friends and groups! You will be more involved with artistic, creative people. Relations with others will be warm. In fact, a friend could become a lover. You will also run into friends from your past. This is a great time to share your ideas for the future with someone to get their feedback. One thing is certain: This week Mars moves to the top of your chart to stay until the end of January. This arouses your ambition! You will be a force to contend with when dealing with bosses and parents. Meanwhile Jupiter is also at the top of your chart, which means good fortune favours you. You're going places!

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Four planets are at the top of your chart, which is why everyone notices you. (You're not fat, you're easier to see.) Seriously, people are impressed with you and you can use this influence to your advantage and milk up for all it's worth! Ask for what you want. Advance your agenda. Romance with a boss might take place. Mercury retrograde will put you in touch with parents or bosses you have not seen for a while. Meanwhile, Mars will boost your ability to creatively explore ideas, philosophies and religion for the next two months. If you might defend important ideas, don't browbeat others to make them agree with you. Just do anything you can do to expand your mind and your experience of the world through travel. You might encounter legal disputes and deal with law courts. (Gulp) I rest my handbag.
