All Signs
The most dramatic astrological event this week is that Saturn changes signs on Saturday. This is a big deal. I'm going to discuss this next week because in the meantime, this week another event occurs, which is the Sun returning to Gemini for the first time in 11 months. Let that be our focus. Meanwhile, Monday is a lazy dreamy day, which will suit those who aren't working. Midweek on Tuesday and Wednesday, everyone will bounce back to work with focused energy. The end of the week promises romance and fun socializing. Remember: the email of the species is more dangerous than the mail.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
This week the pace of your days will accelerate for the next four weeks. Oh yes, you have things to do, places to go and people to see! Fortunately, fair Venus is in your sign, increasing your desire to relate to others. Venus will also help you to compromise and get along with everyone. Because Venus ranks pleasure above work, you will easily attract social situations to you. This is timely because this is also a romantic week! Venus will help you increase your receptivity to others, while the Sun will increase your desire to communicate. In addition to this, your ruler fiery Mars will heighten your sexual desires and appetites for adventure! Oh my. (Note: This is the perfect week to buy wardrobe treasures.)
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
As I frequently mention, you are the financial wizard of the zodiac. This week the Sun will enter your Money House heightening your concerns with money, movable property and the things you value. You will examine your relationship to the resources in your life. For example, does your "stuff" serve your needs or the other way around? (And let us not forget that you are the collector of the zodiac.) Meanwhile, you might make a special purchase and enjoy showing it off. With Mercury in your sign, you're keen to express your views to others, especially about history and politics. You also have a strong urge to get out and travel.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Good news! This week the powerful Sun returns to your sign for the first time in a year. It will stay there for four weeks, boosting your confidence and energy. Yay! It will also attract people and favourable situations to you. Meanwhile, Venus in your House of Friendships will help you schmooze with friends, groups and organizations. (A friendship could turn romantic.) Mars in your House of Communications, will accelerate the tempo of your everyday life; while making you identify with your ideas and beliefs. This is a fortunate time for you because Jupiter is still in your sign giving you divine protection. Take a moment and count your blessings. Ya think?
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Your birthday is looming ahead, which means your personal year is ending. This means the next four weeks are the time to do a reality check and think about how well you're doing at the art of living. This is an auspicious time to do this because next week, I'll discuss the impact of Saturn on your sign. Discussions with younger people are significant for you right now. In fact, someone younger might prompt you to rethink your future goals. Meanwhile, fair Venus at the top of your chart, is creating favourable circumstances for your business and professional life. Venus will also make authority figures admire you! (In fact, you might begin a romance with a boss.)
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
This week ushers in a four-week window of increased popularity. Everyone wants to see your face! This is also your chance to establish who you are with your friends. Be yourself without fear or apology. Life is too short to spend time with people who don't appreciate you and have your best interests at heart. This is the best time of year to think about who you want to encourage in your life. Meanwhile, fiery Mars is still in your sign boosting your energy and giving you the ability to work out problems and accomplish a lot. (Mars will stay in your sign until June 17.) Grab every chance to travel or expand your world because you need this right now. Enjoy art exhibits, explore new neighbourhoods, or take a pleasure trip. Treat yourself!
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
This week the Sun moves to the top of your chart to stay for the next four weeks. This happens only once a year and when it occurs, it symbolizes a flattering spotlight shining down on you, that makes you look great in the eyes of everyone, especially authority figures. This is why you might be offered increased responsibilities or a promotion. (You don't have to do anything special - you'll succeed. It's smoke and mirrors.) Meanwhile, romance is affectionate and sexy! Plus, gifts, goodies and favours from others will come your way. You'll also enjoy any kind of study or further education because you're eager for knowledge and new experiences. This is an excellent time to learn a new language.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Exciting news! For the next four weeks, the Sun will travel through the part of your chart that makes you want to learn more and broaden your horizons. You'll want to study new and unfamiliar topics. You'll want to travel and meet people from different backgrounds. Any new course of study, a new hobby, or a new intellectual discipline will be invigorating and stimulating because you want more out of life! Meanwhile, fair Venus is in the best position for all relationships - a lover, a friend, coworkers, even enemies. Plus, fiery Mars is in your House of Friendships right now encouraging physical activity, such as athletics with groups. Now is the time to formulate your goals and actively pursue them.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
In the next four weeks, you'll feel more passionate about life. This will happen for different reasons. You might encounter somebody that produces a need for some psychological self-inquiry within you. Or you might meet someone who challenges your value structure and makes you rethink everything? The result is you will want to experience life at a feeling level - not just an intellectual understanding of things. Meanwhile, Mars at the top of your chart will arouse your ambition as never before. You want to be your own boss. Fortunately, Venus will soften things, especially with coworkers. Venus can attract a work-related romance.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
This week the Sun will move opposite your sign to stay for four weeks. This happens only once a year and when it occurs, it means you'll need more sleep. That's because the Sun is now as far away from your sign as it can get all year. We're not talking 93 million miles. We're talking about 5 inches on your chart. (It's symbolic.) Because the Sun represents your energy -- and it is now "as far away from you" as it can get, your overall level of vitality will be lessened. Meanwhile, Venus is in one of the most fun-loving, playful parts of your chart, urging you to socialize and have a good time! This is the perfect time for a vacation, especially because fiery Mars wants you to expand your world and your mind! Ideas?
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Each of us feels a shift of energy as the Sun changes signs this week. You will feel a strong desire to work and get better organized. You'll want to work as efficiently and effectively as possible to get the best results for your efforts. By extension, you want to improve your health as well. This means physical efficiency will be a theme for you in the next four weeks. You'll also enjoy redecorating where you live and entertaining at home. You will also balance your hard work with amusing past times, especially reading, writing and playing games that require mental agility. Romance with someone younger might blossom.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Lucky you! Once a year, the Sun takes four weeks to travel through the most fun-loving, playful part of your chart. This means your primary drive will be to do what you want, and set your own priorities. You will feel lighter and happier and more playful! Your attitude toward your relationships will be warmer and easy-going. You might have a greater concern for the welfare of children. Social outings, the arts and sports will appeal. In fact, life will feel so good, you'll appreciate the appearance of your daily surroundings in ways that you didn't see before. (Actually, as you change the way you see your everyday world, your everyday world will change.)
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
For the next four weeks, your focus will be on home, family and your private life. Pool your energy with others and focus on stabilizing your personal world. (Some will have stronger connections with a parent.) All of you will contemplate your past and how you have arrived at where you are today. Meanwhile, fiery Mars will help you be productive; while fair Venus will attract money and favours to you, and encourage you to buy beautiful things for yourself and loved ones. It's time to think more seriously about giving yourself the stable support that you need. Once you secure your home base, then you can pursue other goals with peace of mind and assurance.
