ARIES Venus zooms over into your sign granting you a lot of popularity, Aries. Enjoy the positive attention; people will be looking to you for inspiration and motivation. Romantically, you’re in an excellent place, if you’re single, you’ll find it easy to seduce and charm. Zoom into what’s going on behind the scenes and pay attention to the fine details. Luck is hidden, but it is there for you. If you dream about lottery numbers this is a great time to place a bet on them. Dig deeper to find buried treasure. There are some lessons to learn about love though; you’ll need to be very patient as you manoeuvre through various obstacles-- getting closer and closer to that elusive prize. At work, prepare for more challenges, ones that will take all of your charm to deal with. A boss expects miracles, and you have it in you to make these miracles happen but it will take some sweat and blood to make it all happen. Close partnerships could especially be tense, it’s best to avoid getting involved in political struggles if you can help it.
TAURUS
Love becomes more animalistic and instinct-driven as Venus enters into fire-pot Aries. You are at a point where you need to drag your prey home and light the passionate fires. Think Neanderthal love, think grunting hair pulling and sniffing. Stop worrying about tiny details and just live for the moment. You’ll be much happier if you do that. Your luck is very high, especially when it comes to connections and social interaction. Get the message across that you are ready for change and other people will help you out. Networking sends out a strong message, and you have more friends out there than you think you may have. This is also a great time to develop a group effort in business, as a team you will accomplish great things if you ask for help from others around you. The best thing you can do is to strive to play fair. Set your goals high and work hard in the background, this is a great time to establish a positive reputation through the work that you do.
GEMINI
Your social life increases, but so does the intensity of your interaction with other people. Watch your temper, because Mars rests in your third house you may react to something that someone said without thinking too much about what is truly going on. Jumping to conclusion will only lead to annoying confusion. On the other side of the coin, however, you will find that it is easy to inspire and motivate others around you. At work, you are starting to reach a point where the best lucky breaks occur. Share your dreams with others, and listen carefully to feedback. There are many issues that are still out of your control, but you can deal best with them if you remain open-minded enough to just go with the flow. Always ask, and never assume, and you’ll be one step ahead of everyone else all week long.
CANCER
Professionally, the opportunities begin to roll in, Cancer. You’re in the hot seat, and are expected to take everything that comes to you and make it work for you. This could be a high pressure moment, but if you are driven to succeed you’ll manage to move forward like a juggernaut ramming through walls of opposition. It helps to remain idealistic, and even a bit spiritual about your perspective. Dare to believe that the world is your oyster, and that this oyster is offering up pearls. Expect some stress between family, work and lovers; an astrological t-square sets itself up by the end of the week challenging you to come to deal with a difficult partnership. Play fair, and show your backbone, be strong enough to let someone know where your own personal boundaries are.
LEO
This is an excellent time for travel, since Venus enters into your ninth house and trines with Mars in your first house. You’ll be motivated to explore new territory. If you have time off, get out there and travel to different places to see what is around. A car ride takes you on a short adventure. Financially, this is a great time for you; you’ll find that other people are more than happy to support you if you need it. This is a good time to dig deep into a mystifying situation, ask lots of questions and explore. Talk about taboo subjects and connect to a mystery. You start to get the answers you have always desired. At work, your situation could be troublesome, especially when dealing with bully-types who believe that negative feedback is the only way to motivate others. The best thing you can do is to step back and remain impartial, don’t get caught up in an emotional tornado that really has nothing to do with you.
VIRGO
When it comes to love, you will need to go deep into the heart of feeling. Forget about thinking too much, brush that aside and just live in the existence of the feeling. This means that you will need to allow yourself the right to believe that you deserve love. Forget about doubts and “what ifs” they are not worth the loss of sleep. Communication works for you as well, share your thoughts and ideas with people close to you and listen carefully to what they have to say. Repeat their own words back to them so they know you’re paying attention. Financially, you’ll need to play it safe, but a creative attitude will allow you to make the most of what you have and turn things around so that your life improves immensely. Coupon cutting could bring you extra cash: pay close attention to the “great deals” that the universe throws into your direction.
LIBRA
Venus heads over into your seventh house which means that love works for you. Certainly, you’ll bump into people who will offer you much support on an emotional and creative level. If you are an artist you may discover a mentor or a patron who is willing to help you achieve a higher level of creativity. There is a lot of tension when it comes to family and close friends. Perhaps, even, a family member who is a negative sort will demand too much from you. If you are feeling stressed, try to ease up and let go of the feeling that you need to make everyone happy. You can’t “make” anyone do anything; certainly you can’t make anyone else’s happiness but your own. So, focus on your own sense of feel-good ambiance by treating yourself to something you deserve. What ever you do, don’t allow yourself to become the “welcome mat” that other people walk upon, stay true to your own sense of dignity. No one needs to be a martyr.
SCORPIO
Work assertively, Scorpio, as Venus heads over into Aries. You will need to show others that you are passionate about what you do. Be prepared to brag a little, it’s a good idea to advertise if you need to, but in the long run it is your actions that show others that you believe in your cause. You are gifted with great creative ideas, write them down, they open doors for you. Don’t ignore that spark of light- that feeling that you are coming close to the answers you need. Your intuition guides you, don’t ignore that inner guide. Your words leave a lasting impact, so use them frugally, don’t overkill if you feel that someone deserves a “sting” from your mighty scorpion tail. A quick brush, a threat of what could happen is often enough: less is more.
SAGITTARIUS
You are on a search for truth, Sagittarius, especially when it comes to your own spirituality, and this starts in the way you conduct your daily life. Allow a sense of magic to enter into the mundane world. Your faith makes everything better, even if you are working a boring job with no potential, if you have your eyes cast towards the starry sky, you will find a better plane of personal existence. At home, it’s an excellent time to conduct business. If you are interested in investing in real estate, this is a great time to do so, lady luck lives close by, and she could even be a bed mate. Relatives are there to offer you financial help when you need it the most. A charming sense of ambition will allow you the creative spark you need to solve a financial problem. There is always more than one way to slay the dragon.
CAPRICORN
Issues of property and money held jointly with partners could come up, and you will need to be careful when working things out. If you have recently broken up with someone expect some problems when it comes to splitting things up. This tension could affect your workplace, and family members have a lot to say about this, but it isn’t necessarily positive feed back that you are getting. You need to step back and contemplate your sense of worth, and the worthiness of the “things” that you are fighting about. Communication is your friend here, don’t be afraid to have your say, let others know how you feel. It never hurts to ask, mostly because people will show generosity if you reach out. And the worst thing that could happen is that someone could say “no.” The best thing you can do is to let go of control, some battles are not worth fighting for, learn the fine art of walking away if you need to.
AQUARIUS
Miscommunication is a common factor when it comes to the breakdown of a good relationship. The stars make it easy for you to develop a sense of trust with someone by being able to communicate clearly and effectively with others. Share your thoughts candidly and be honest about where you’re at. Show and tell, follow up with actions that portray a positive perspective. Financially, you’re going through a flush period, mostly because you are fishing in a small pond full of fish. It is easy to catch your meal; you’re blessed, so enjoy the prosperity. Pluto hides under the surface, in your twelfth house, like a shark swimming through murky waters- this means that you need to face inner issues that you may have avoided until now. It’s time to tackle your addictions, your deepest fears, and shortfalls, work hard on self improvement and you’ll come out of this in a big powerful manner, mostly because you will discover your inner strength once you conjure and face down the inner demons that trip you up when you are running full steam ahead.
PISCES Bling is your friend. This is a great time to invest in jewellery. Interaction with women is very favourable, especially at work. Dress for success, Pisces. Even if you are a guy fish it’s a good idea to shine your shoes and get your best suit pressed. If you polish your armour your enemies will be intimated. Ride out into the battle long and strong and keep that smile pasted on your face. You can say just about anything and people will ohhh and ahhh your greatness. Enjoy the magical ability to spin a fine tale. Watch your spending however, pulling out the plastic too much could hurt you financially. Most of all, avoid borrowing from a friend that will only get you into trouble. Keep things clear, simple and above board- don’t mix pleasure and business together, at least not for this week.
