All Signs
This is the perfect week to wrap up our summer because it's full of romantic promises and possibilities. According to the Oxford English dictionary, the definition of a romance is "an exciting, usually short relationship between two people." Hmmm, must it be short? And what about being enthralled in a romantic way with a city, or a special place, or even a restaurant? (Personally, I'm attached to my car, Babs.) Whatever the case, now is the time to embrace happy feelings. Surprise invitations, spontaneous social outings and meetings with friends, along with passionate responses to different people and circumstances will be the tenor of this week. Speaking of which, I read that altos love bases. Bases love altos. Sopranos love solos. And tenors love themselves.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
This week offers all kinds of possibilities because the underlying theme for you is actually to work and get better organized. (You know this. You feel this.) That's why you intend to get a jump on that "back-to-school" feeling so that you're in charge and ready for September. "Bring it on!" Nevertheless, fair Venus is in your House of Partnerships, dancing with Uranus and Pluto, which will attract surprise get-togethers and unusual meetings. (Possibly secret or mysterious.) Romance and passionate responses to someone will be par for the course this week. (Might this be due to an old flame back on the scene?) Whatever the case, you're keen to meet new people and reignite existing relationships and partnerships. It's time to strut your stuff!
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
You are perfectly positioned to socialize with others this week and have fun! Many of you are still on vacation. Romance is in the air. Even work-related romances might suddenly take place. Possibly, the object of your affection is someone different or unusual in some way? Maybe they come from a different background? Because family get-togethers, reunions and family members from your past are on the scene, this also could be a source of an unusual romantic introduction. Meanwhile, many of you are keen to address health concerns and improve your body and your physical energy because you want to be the best you can be. And why not?
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
This week begins with the Moon in your sign and fair Venus in your House of Romance. (Emotional and full of promise!) This means you are totally up for fun activities, vacations, social outings, sports events, pleasant times with children plus a genuine enjoyment of the arts and the entertainment world. Unexpected invitations will surprise and perhaps delight you. Social plans might suddenly change, so stay on your toes. Meanwhile, you're up for this fast pace because the Moon in your sign is lined up with lucky Jupiter. Furthermore, Mars is in your sign boosting your drive, energy and enthusiasm. Friends from the past and connections with siblings will continue to occur because of the final influences of Mercury retrograde. This is a happening week!
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
You're in the middle of a fast-paced month because the rhythm of your days has been accelerating. This is due to appointments, get-togethers and interactions with siblings and neighbours that are creating greater demands on your time. Meanwhile, many of you are reading, writing and studying more than usual as well. Stock the fridge because spontaneous entertaining will take place at home. Yes, you're interested in redecorating and tweaking where you live; however, surprise visits from others are likely. (Count on this.) Meanwhile financial delays and cheques that are late in the mail are situations that will correct themselves in September. It's all good.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
This is a popular year for you; and being a Leo, this is a popular month. Your dance card is full! This week will continue to bring unexpected opportunities to socialize with siblings, relatives and neighbours. Romantic flirtations are also likely. Mercury retrograde has slipped back from Virgo into your sign, which attracts interactions with people you haven't seen for a while. All this means that right now -- you are a social butterfly! Physical competitions and sports are also activities that appeal right now. Your secret is to get rest (if possible) and pace yourself because no one can be all things to all people all of the time. Not even a Leo who is the hostess with the mostess.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
This continues to be a powerful time for you because the Sun is in your sign, which can happen only once a year for four weeks. Enjoy this advantage that you have because the Sun will energize you as well as attract good fortune to you. (We like.) Meanwhile, this week is full of unusual and surprising financial opportunities for Virgo. Something might suddenly present itself to you. A better paying job? A chance to boost your income, an opportunity to make a major purchase? Whatever the case, you should know that this window of opportunity is brief, which means whatever happens, you will have to act fast! Meanwhile, if this does involve a new job or new opportunities, you should know that you look especially good to others right now, which means you can ask for what you want!
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
This week has mixed messages for you. Because the Sun is now hiding in your chart, likewise, you will want to be low profile and have time to yourself. You feel a need to catch your breath. You might even feel overwhelmed with social demands. Nevertheless, these demands exist Plus, opportunities to travel are coming your way as well. Therefore, you have to juggle friends from the past, romantic possibilities, social outings, travel options and at the same time, enjoy your privacy. This is a challenging conundrum. (Good time to shop for wardrobe treasures.)
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Like many signs, you're popular this week! Could it be the last-minute summer fever before September arrives? Whatever the case, not only are you more involved with friends than usual, you are also involved with clubs, groups and organizations. Some of you might see parents and authority figures or bosses from your past because of the Mercury retrograde influence taking place at the top of your chart. You are a passionate sign, and right now unexpected flirtations and secret romance can take place. This could be minor - or - it could generate some juicy gossip. You might also receive gifts and favours from others this week. Don't hesitate. Accept them graciously.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Looking good! The Sun is at the top of your chart casting you in a flattering spotlight, which is why everyone admires you right now. This is a great week to schmooze with friends and groups. Without question, some of you will be surprised by a flirtation with a friend. (A platonic relationship could turn romantic. A friend might become a lover.) Or you might be introduced to someone unusual through a friend? Because the romance vibes are strong for your sign this week, it's important to be flexible and quick to respond because things are happening fast and opportunities are short-lived. Fortunately, you can think on your feet.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Your desire to travel, explore new ideas, meet people from different backgrounds and countries, and learn something new is strong. You want to expand your world! Meanwhile, romance with a boss or someone in a position of authority is highly likely for you this week. Whatever happens will be sudden. Unexpected. It might be an innocent flirtation that surprises you, especially with someone older or well-established. It could be from an unusual source. Or it could be with someone younger - because there is likely an age difference. This is still a strong week to wrap up details with taxes, shared property and debt as we coast through the last throes of Mercury retrograde. Good luck!
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
This is a passionate, intense week for you. Lots of energy is impacting the part of your chart ruling romance, love affairs and fun socializing with others. At the least, you will enjoy saucy, fun-loving interactions with others. At the most, you might encounter new love. Whatever relationship you form might be brief but it will definitely be memorable! Meanwhile, unexpected opportunities to travel might fall in your lap. Ditto for chances to go to school or get further training. Even legal and publishing news might surprise you. Because Mercury is still retrograde opposite your sign, ex-partners and old friends are still in the picture. Naturally, you'll love meeting characters and having surprise exchanges with others because this is who you are.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Your focus on partners and close friends is strong now and will continue for the next few weeks. Financial issues favour you at this time. In fact, sudden gifts and goodies might come to you. Or you might inherit. Something fortunate might suddenly happen to you, especially if it relates to home and family. Meanwhile, this is a passionate, sexy week! Many of you will have brief, romantic trysts that are memorable but not long-lasting. Whatever happens will be sudden and unexpected. It might take your breath away. Continue to cope with increased activity and chaos on the home front because September will usher in quieter times and more sanity. Be aware that the opportunities that arise this week will benefit home and family.
