This week begins with a strong energy that begins to fade a bit as the week wears on. Fortunately, evenings will be warm and full of romantic opportunities and chances to socialize. Keep in mind that Mercury is still retrograde in Pisces, which is a curious combo because Mercury represents speech, logic and decisions; whereas Pisces is intuitive, imaginative and dreamy. However, it does help to make this the perfect week to extend an olive branch and be willing to forgive someone. In fact, I was watching a TV show last night, and one of the characters (a handsome doctor) said, "Holding a grudge is a stone in your heart." It's true. Forgiveness is not easy but it's the hallmark of being a grown-up. And hey, he was a heart surgeon so he should know.
This week you feel warm and friendly with everyone because you have a greater desire to talk to people. It's a particularly good time to make your peace with someone. Or you might act as a go-between for others who need to resolve issues? Get away on a vacation if you can because you'll enjoy schmoozing with friends and you'll welcome a change of scenery! This is also a great week to shop for wardrobe goodies. Privately, you might start to notice your attention turning more inward because you're going to give more thought to what you really want and need in your life. One thing is certain: You know it has to be on your own terms - not anyone else's.
This is a friendly, sociable week! (Consider this a blessing.) In part, this is because many of you are back in touch with old faces and friends from the past -- including colleagues and acquaintances from groups and organizations. Some of you are involved in a secret love affair, which isn't surprising considering how passionate and sensuous you are. Act on your impulse to go through closets, cupboards, garages and storage spaces to get rid of what you no longer need because you'll be doing this for a while. Have you noticed that your plans for the future are getting bigger and more ambitious? You might learn new skills or study. Relations with siblings are happier and mutually supportive. It's all good.
Whether the energy begins strong, or gets weaker this week, is not a big deal for you. That's because the Sun is at the top of your chart casting you in a flattering spotlight that makes everyone admire you. Oh yes, people see you as talented and competent. (Great lighting is everything.) Be open to contact with parents, bosses and authority figures you haven't seen for a while. (This is because Mercury retrograde is taking place at the top of your chart.) Meanwhile, friendships, especially with artistic people, will be rewarding. You might also be in contact with someone of an age difference. Continue to look for ways to boost your income because you can.
Do something to expand your world this week - perhaps a change of scenery? You need adventure! Consider broadening your horizons through study, film and meeting new people. Metaphysical, religious and spiritual concerns might interest you. (Some of you will be more involved with the law.) Whatever the case, you make a great impression on everyone because Venus is at the top of your chart now making others feel favourably inclined to you. Doors will open for you! You might give advice to someone about redecorating, layout work, design or something similar. Meanwhile, romance with someone of an age difference might occur. Your world is expanding!
This you can gear up to face dealing with taxes, debt, inheritances, wills shared property and red-tape details you've been putting off. The good news is that Mercury retrograde will actually help you to wrap up old business to the extent that you'll be surprised at how easily it will flow. Meanwhile you want to travel for pleasure. You certainly want to get outta Dodge for a change of scenery. At a deeper level, many of you are giving more thought to your inner world and your spiritual values. "What's it all about, Alfie?" Maybe what you seek is not the right answer - but the right question?
You'll need more sleep this week because the Sun is as far away from your sign as it can get all year, and the Sun represents your energy. Meanwhile, Mercury retrograde is also opposite your sign attracting ex-partners, ex-spouses and old friends back into your world. This could lead to some interesting romantic involvements because fair Venus is in a passionate part of your chart encouraging romance and warm affection. This can also attract money to come to you. (Oh yes, keep your pockets open.) Meanwhile, this is a popular time for you. Many of you are more involved in groups and organizations. You're also making ambitious goals. "To infinity and beyond!"
There's a mixture of different influences this week, which will encourage you to work hard and be productive; but at the same time, make you want to socialize with good friends, partners and spouses. You will even interact more than usual with members of the general public. In part, this is because Jupiter is high in your chart making you look successful and prosperous. Many of you will get a promotion at work or some kind of public recognition or the esteem of your peers, which is personally rewarding and reassuring. (We all like to be admired.) This is also a good week to focus on your health in terms of exercise, diet and doing what's good for you. Without your body - you're not here.
Take every advantage of socializing with others because this is a lovely, playful time for you! Accept invitations. Explore the arts and the entertainment world. Enjoy sports events and fun activities with kids. Romantic opportunities are excellent in fact, fabulous this week! Old flames are back in the picture if not in person, then in your thoughts or your dreams. Nevertheless, this is also an excellent time to work. Coworkers will be supportive. You can boost your earnings as well as make your work place more attractive. Remember to explore opportunities in medicine, the law and publishing as well as travel because you can do something to expand your world this year!
Home, family and your private life continue to be your focus. Many of you are dealing with issues from the past, as well as a deeper involvement with family members and relatives who might be camping out on your doorstep or being more involved with your life. Some of you are also more active with a parent. Nevertheless, despite this strong private focus - you also have lots of energy to party and have fun! Be open to flirtations and socializing with others. This week is also full of romantic opportunities. One of the reasons romance will flourish for you is you are relaxed about yourself. You feel there's no need to pretend to be what you are not.
This is a busy week because you have a more demanding schedule with appointments, errands and short trips as well as spending more time reading, writing and studying. Life is stimulating right now because you have opportunities to learn. New faces, new places and new ideas are thrilling. Don't hesitate to entertain at home because this will be a rewarding experience for you. Many of you are redecorating and tweaking where you live because you want your home to look more attractive. (The impending arrival of guests is a marvelous motivator.) Partnerships continue to be rewarding. This is a solid week for you!
Money, cash flow and earnings are on your mind. However, you might think about your spending habits, especially how they impact your financial security. Some of you will decide to draw up a budget or try to be more sensible with how you handle your money. You might give more thought to the degree to which your possessions reflect who you are, including your talents. Because of this increased focus on the things that you own - you will feel more powerful if you can organize everything better. Make sure that you know that you are the owner of your stuff and not the other way around. Don't be a slave to your possessions.
Your confidence and energy are stronger now because the Sun is in your sign. This means that you project yourself with more vigour and dazzle. In fact, you might want to change your appearance or your wardrobe in some way. Because your sign rules the feet, you do enjoy nice shoes and boots. Basically, you feel that this is a fresh start for you and you want to create a great impression on everyone. This is why you might buy pretty things for yourself as well as loved ones. Fortunately, you can also attract money to you. One thing to remember now is that your creative juices are flowing! You are truly in touch with your muse. Go do that voodoo that you do so well.
