On Monday, Venus enters, glitzy Leo attracting fairytale encounters, making this a social week with fabulous opportunities for romance. (Some will pursue the dating scene like a fun-loving game.) However, a different influence (also on Monday), arrives when Venus interacts with Saturn, encouraging reliable, stable relationships, and "commitment" - all sober possibilities beyond playing a game. Clearly- anything is possible. Tuesday encourages spontaneous activities and impromptu energies. But the diamond in the ring sparkles on Thursday, when a rare dance between Neptune and Uranus will make this one of the best date nights of the year! Whether or not you're interested in romance, enjoy socializing! Goethe nailed it when he said, "Nothing is worth more than this day."
Your primary focus this week is to work efficiently and be as productive as possible. (We both know this.) However, an interesting conflict exists. Mars opposite your sign will encourage tension with partners, spouses and close friends. While at the same time, both Mercury and Venus are in a romantic, playful part of your chart promoting affection, and a relaxed, easy-going camaraderie with others. Meanwhile, Mercury will encourage you to express your thoughts and feelings to others. You'll be playful - even teasing! You might want to play a joke on someone. This is also the classic week for love at first sight, or sudden, unexpected flirtations that make your heart skip a beat.
Lady Luck is smiling on you because you're in the mood for social outings, romance and fun activities with kids. Meanwhile, this is exactly what your week ahead promises. Coincidence? I think not. Many of you will be redecorating at home, and making repairs or improvements. You might engage in family discussions -- perhaps in preparation for some ambitious entertaining. Although pleasure and amusing recreations are your primary focus right now - you're also working hard. Russell Crowe (who has Mercury in Taurus) said, "People accuse me of being arrogant all the time. I'm not arrogant, I'm focused." Believe me - this week, You're focused.
This week your private life, home and family are your main focus. In fact, some of you will be more involved with a parent. However, fiery Mars is in the most playful part of your chart making you flirtatious and fun-loving! This will also make you ardent and eager to be with a loved one. (Be still my beating heart.) This week you'll be attracted to fun and games. However, writers and those of you in sales, marketing, teaching and acting can be creatively productive because you will be particularly eloquent and convincing. People will be entertained by what you have to say. Write down your original, inventive ideas because - like temptation - they might not come your way again.
Your fast pace continues! Grab every chance to travel - even a short trip. Enjoy visits and conversations with everyone. You're keen to learn new ideas and share them with others. This is a restless week and you're up for some saucy diversions! Respect your moneymaking ideas because they might be worthwhile. Meanwhile, unexpected gifts, goodies and favours from others might fall in your lap. This could include a job opportunity or a chance to boost your earnings. You might also have an unexpected opportunity to purchase something beautiful that really pleases you. Be patient with whatever is happening at home because this hyped energy will continue for a few more weeks. "Sleep faster. We need the pillows."
Right now, Venus is in your sign dancing beautifully with Neptune and also, unpredictable Uranus. The influence from Neptune will make you feel tender, affectionate and compassionate to others. It promotes unselfish - even spiritual - love. You may feel that someone special is your soulmate. Meanwhile, the influence of Uranus will attract new, fascinating and different people into your world. You feel energetic! You might want to throw a party. You want to break free from your daily routine. On the whole, this is a week that is friendly and caring. However, you'll have to make an effort to crank yourself up to work because you'd rather play and have fun. Carpe diem! Life is short - (and fat).
You're invigorated this week! In fact, the Sun in your sign will help you to recharge your batteries for the rest of the year! It's a fortunate time for you, which is why you will attract people and favourable situations to you. Meanwhile, the celestial heavens have aligned to promote secret love affairs for your sign. (Oh yes.) If these liaisons don't manifest in a physical way, you might savour daydreams about past lovers or longed-for future hopes. Certainly, this is a popular time for you! (Who knows what might happen?) Meanwhile, you feel concern and sympathy for someone, and might want to help them in a selfless way, (which is your style). In fact, this week your sense of selfless devotion to someone is magnified.
You'll feel contrasting influences this week because you're happy to take a backseat, and work behind the scenes. (You want to relax and pamper yourself.) Ideally, while doing this, you might set some goals for your new year ahead (birthday to birthday) because goals help you stay real and not kid yourself. However, in sharp contrast to wanting to withdraw from the world - fiery Mars in your sign is escalating your energy! Mars makes you ambitious to work to further your own interests, and assert yourself among others. Mars will make you more of a fighter for your own rights and your physical energy will be high! Juggle these two conflicting influences as best you can.
Enjoy the company of friends, groups and organizations as increased activity with others continues for you this week. This is an excellent time to make goals for the future to give you a sense of purpose; and you might bounce your ideas off someone to get their feedback. Meanwhile, because you make such a great impression on others right now (especially bosses and VIPs), some of you will actually begin a romance with a boss. This might happen suddenly and unexpectedly. Very likely, you might put this person on the pedestal or enormously admire them. Before you do anything based on this admiration be aware that in a matter of weeks, you might see things a bit differently. Don't do anything now, that you might later regret.
The Sun is still at the top of your chart casting you in a flattering spotlight, which means you have the advantage over everyone else. Obviously, you can use this advantage to go after what you want and make doors open for you. Meanwhile, some of you will have an idealized romantic relationship with someone "different". This might be happening physically, or it might be a dream-like fantasy. Something unexpected could trigger this or encourage this opportunity. Others might have a thrilling opportunity to travel someplace special. Enjoy physical activity with groups - even competitive engagements. Life is good to you right now. Make time to alphabetize your blessings.
Grab any chance to expand your world through travel, study, learning and talking to people from unusual backgrounds or different cultures because you need to experience something new and unfamiliar. Find a chance to rev your engines to satisfy your need to break out of your everyday mold and get out into the broader world! (Obviously, travel would be perfect.) Along with this, your desire to achieve is strong. Meanwhile romance is impossibly tender and idealistic. You might feel a soulmate connection with someone. You might also receive an unexpected boon or a favour from a surprising source. Life is not boring. And relations with those who are closest to you are warm and rewarding. Lucky you!
Life is intense right now. This intensity might be due to the demands of your professional life, especially dealing with shared property, shared responsibilities and inheritances. However, your personal relationships might also be remarkable at this time. You feel tenderhearted and connected to loved ones. You might even be tempted to idealize someone (something that invariably leads to disappointment). Could part of your admiration be because you're inspired by someone's ideas? New belief systems or different approaches to politics or religion can open up new dimensions of reality that expand or enlarge your present beliefs. This is an intellectually exciting time!
You continue to need more sleep and more rest. (Do respect this need for your own personal benefit.) Meanwhile, a work-related romance might be off the charts. You might be in love with or have a crush on someone that feels "fated" - written in the stars! For some of you, this feeling of selfless devotion could translate to your work, and you'll be inspired by an opportunity to help those who are less fortunate. Tread carefully with financial confrontations with others, which might occur at this time. (This is not an ideal time to ask for a loan or a mortgage.) Welcome opportunities to be hands-on with work that gives you a steady rhythm that regulates your days. A routine helps you manage stress, sleep better and even eat healthier. Be gentle with yourself. Start with one thing.
