All Signs
This week Mars moves into Scorpio for the next six weeks, making everyone more intense and bolder. (Last time this happened was Nov./Dec. 2021.) Meanwhile, on Saturday, the Solar eclipse in Libra will be our best chance all year to make resolutions about how to improve our closest relationships. How can we get better at negotiating? How can we make peace with someone? The aim is to create more harmony in our lives. Speaking of creating more harmony in our world, Marie Kondo a Libra, says, "The trick is to choose what to keep, not what to throw out." That's her secret. I've also heard: "Clutter is nothing more than postponed decisions." (I don't have time to think about that. Off to do my walking lunges.)
Aries (March 21-April 19)
The trick to navigating this week is to make it to Wednesday. This is because Monday and Tuesday are downright grumpy and prone to arguments with coworkers and customers. Things might also be dicey dealing with pets or pet-related situations. Even something related to your health might provoke an argument. Perhaps someone will nag you about unhealthy habits? (Grrr.) Or perhaps you will feel frustrated with healthcare people who are trying to help you. By Wednesday, all is good. Relief! Your sex drive is strong. Relations with partners and close friends are great. It will be a particularly good time to negotiate issues about inheritances, taxes, debt and shared property - including insurance matters. You're on it!
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
The first few days of this week are challenging, especially dealing with kids. With younger kids, be skilful at handling hissy fits and meltdowns. With older kids, be patient, tolerant and reasonable. Resist the temptation to take control and win a power struggle. "It's my way or the highway." If your kids are in their 20s, now is the time for them to move out while they know everything. Likewise, romance will be in the toilet for the first two days -- arguments and hurt feelings. By Wednesday, the clouds blow away and everything is hunky-dory! Go figure. You will be productive at work, in fact, get ready to roll up your sleeves and be hands-on. Fun-filled invitations to sports events and social outings will delight. Recap: After Tuesday, it's a great week!
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
The first two days of this week are downright grumpy, especially with family members, parents, bosses and authority figures. Issues will irk you. (It's hard to keep your shirt on when you want to get something off your chest.) Be encouraged by the knowledge that when you make it to Wednesday, the rest of the week is smooth sailing. Enjoy entertaining at home this week. It's a particularly fun-filled week with opportunities to socialize, enjoy Happy Hour, sports events and fun outings. Romance will flourish. Nevertheless, you'll be productive and get a lot done because you have the energy and drive to work hard. Therefore, be patient on Monday and Tuesday. Hey, that's just 48 hours.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Be careful for the first two days of this week because this is when there is a mildly accident-prone time for you. Accidents don't have to happen during this window but you might be distracted because you're irritated with someone; and once you're angry or grumpy, you automatically create a bubble that is just waiting for an accident to happen. The simple solution is to keep your cool and be patient because by Wednesday, you're laughing! Then you enter into a new realm where life will flow more easily, everything will be more easy-going and people will be happy to see your face. Home entertainment, family discussions plus home improvements will be positive choices later in the week. Competitive sports will appeal.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Tiptoe through the tulips until Wednesday this week because financial arguments or disappointments about purchases, possessions or money arrangements might be one reason why you find yourself at odds with someone else. It's a grumpy time! But lo! What news from yonder modem breaks? Ah ha! Confirmation that from Wednesday onwards, the rest of the week is grand. Short trips, appointments, errands and discussions with others will be upbeat. You'll put out extra energy at home to create order out of chaos. Furthermore, you will make a great impression on others because people will see you as a winner! (It's important to look good at a distance.)
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Hold your breath for the first two days this week because this will be a challenging window of time for you to relate to others, especially those who are closest to you. (However, authority figures might be prickly, too.) The secret is to make it until Wednesday because from then on, it's a pleasant, productive week. You'll have excellent moneymaking ideas; and you'll be convincing if you need others to jump on board. You will also be able to influence others. You can teach them or encourage them to be the best they can be. Continue to look for travel opportunities, as well as ways to get further education because this is a fabulous year for you to expand your world. You're going places!
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Difficulties with work colleagues and authority figures might occur at the beginning of the week. Likewise, hidden love affairs and issues related to your health might also create some angst. But this is simply for Monday and Tuesday because by Wednesday, things improve remarkably and the rest of the week is smooth sailing. Meanwhile, you're strong right now because both the Sun and Mercury are in your sign. Make sure you don't throw your weight around, especially at the beginning of the week. (Not really your style.) You will be wise and careful with financial decisions this week. In fact, with everything that you do, you will be focused and cautious. You want to be prudent. You will ask yourself, "How useful is this? Or "What good is it?"
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Be patient with friends at the beginning of the week on Monday and Tuesday because this is when you will feel stressed dealing with others. They might be critical. You might feel isolated or left out. (It could be anything.) Do not take this seriously because by Wednesday, the clouds will disappear. In fact, this will be a wonderfully productive week for you because Mars is now in your sign, dancing with stern Saturn, which makes you disciplined, controlled, cautious and careful. (A bit like a Sherman tank.) Obviously, this will lead to excellent productivity and accomplishments. You'll be like the wise carpenter: "Measure twice, cut once."
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
On Monday and Tuesday this week, be patient when dealing with parents, bosses and the police because there will be challenges. This is a very poor time to ask for permission or approval. ("Talk to the hand!") Ideally, give authority figures a wide berth at the beginning of the week because your interactions with them will be frustrating, and possibly, regrettable. By Wednesday, your popularity shines and time spent with younger people will be rejuvenating. Meanwhile, you might do something behind the scenes to strengthen family relationships or to work on needed repairs at home.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
The key to your survival at the beginning of this week is to avoid controversial subjects, especially religion and politics. This is because Monday and Tuesday are challenging days! You might also deal with problems related to college or universities, medicine, the law and anything to do with publishing and the media. (Whew!) However, by Wednesday, you're back in control. People will admire you because the Sun is still at the top of your chart casting you in a flattering spotlight. You will likely take the helm or lead a group in some fashion. You will particularly be successful dealing with group or team competitions or perhaps with a friend. You will shine!
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Tread carefully at the beginning of the week when squabbles about money, shared property, debt, inheritances or the responsibilities you have for someone might create angst or challenging situations. (But this is only for Monday and Tuesday.) By Wednesday, your sense of adventure returns and you're eager to travel and try new things! You will also enjoy study and the exploration of ideas, perhaps related to medicine, the law, publishing or the media. Your ambition is strong and very focused. You won't waste efforts with distractions. You're on your game because you know what you want and you're going after it. Do take timeout to do something different, inventive and bizarre because after all, you are an Aquarian.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Be extra patient with partners and close friends at the beginning of this week (Monday and Tuesday) because this is when your closest relationships will be stressed. By Wednesday, the mood has shifted. Suddenly, your approach to fun and pleasure will be passionate and intense. You'll be especially eager to travel and explore the world. And if you can't jump on a plane, you can explore your neighbourhood by doing different things, meeting new people, and seeing places you've never visited before. It's surprising how much our own backyard can hold secrets and stimulating discoveries. One only has to look! Your optimism is the key to your charm this week.
