Aries
(19 March – 19 April)
Element: Fire
Planet: Mars
Symbol: Ram
Stone: Ruby |
Aries: This is a very good week for sorting and getting things done, and your keywords are “efficiency” and “effectiveness.” You will feel that there has to be a point to everything you do at the moment, and you will find you can accomplish more in a day than most people get done in a week. This is a perfect week to streamline your work, to sort out your filing system, to do your accounts and your paperwork, and to strive to make your life run more smoothly and productively. You may also find your attention veering toward your health, which may involve changing your diet, adopting a new exercise regiment, or visiting a therapist for treatment. Perhaps all this sorting, clearing and improving is paving the way for some important changes to come and by being on top of things you will be far better able to seize new beginning and opportunities when they come. |
Taurus
(19 April – 20 May)
Element: Earth
Planet: Venus
Symbol: Bull
Stone: Emerald |
Taurus: Your challenge this week may be to stay cool, calm and collected in the face of disharmony. Mars in your relationship zone is upping the tempo and making it harder to see eye-to-eye with a certain someone. This may or may not lead you to feel bad about yourself, but it certainly requires you to express your thoughts and feelings with honest conviction. This week it becomes vitally important for you to determine what your priorities are and to make sure that you are living them. Focus on what you enjoy and what you need for your happiness, even if it means having to lock horns with someone who doesn’t share your convictions. |
Gemini
(20 May – 20 June)
Element: Air
Ruling Planet: Mercury
Symbol: Twins
Stone: Aquamarine |
Gemini: Now that Jupiter is halfway through your sign, it is a good idea to check how your life is going. Is it moving in the direction that you seek? Are you learning and growing and, most importantly, enjoying? Are you sharing your life with others in a meaningful way, and are your relationships a source of joy, encouragement and support? Is there growth, challenge and satisfaction in your work, and is your free time a rich source of replenishment and inspiration? It is early yet, but by focusing on those areas that feel less than satisfactory, you will begin to make better use of the Jupiter energies that will, in the long run, help you to create a richer, more satisfying life. |
Cancer
(20 June – 22 July)
Element: Water
Planet: Moon
Symbol: Crab
Stone: Moonstone |
Cancer: This week’s challenge is to decide whether it would be healthy for you to compromise or not. Sometimes when we are locking horns with another or when two people want different things, it is important to compromise. However, there are also times when it pays to be vigilant in terms of how willing we are to concede. If you feel that it would best serve a relationship to meet halfway, then all is well and good. If, on the other hand, you think you’ve already compromised too much and enough is enough, then this week is the point at which you’ll have to stand your ground and make it clear what you want. Don’t do anything that will compromise your self-worth or your integrity. In fact, at this point in time, you should be moving toward that which feels authentic and right for you, regardless of what others may think. |
Leo
(22 July – 22 August)
Element: Fire
Planet: Sun
Symbol: Lion
Stone: Peridot |
Leo: With the Sun and Mercury in your zone of resources, you are in a favorable time for increasing your finances or changing your material situation for the better. The key to making positive changes is to work toward utilizing more of your gifts, talents and abilities and striving to achieve your true purpose in life rather than just going through the motions. Perhaps it’s time to breathe new life into the work that you do or in the way you view money. If you currently feel as though there’s something missing from your life, it may be that you simply need to express more of yourself and your gifts and to share what talents you have with others in a bigger way than you’ve previously been doing. |
Virgo
(22 August – 22 September)
Element: Earth
Planet: Mercury
Symbol: Virgin
Stone: Sapphire |
Virgo: As the Sun journeys through your sign, this is the perfect time to contemplate what you want from life and where you want to be going. Jupiter at the top of your chart is like a guiding star, and being blessed by both the Sun and Jupiter at the same time is rather fortuitous, to say the least. Now is the time to focus on doing what you love – to put your heart and soul into what you do –whether that applies to your work or other areas of your life. It may be that you’re on the receiving end of some valuable insights about yourself or with what you want to do. Or you may simply be feeling more optimistic about life in general and enjoying your days more. Don’t overstretch yourself, though –you may find yourself putting so much effort and energy into work and life that you run yourself ragged. Keep doing what you’re doing, but don’t forget to pace yourself. |
Libra
(22 September – 22 October)
Element: Air
Planet: Venus
Symbol: Scales
Stone: Opal |
Libra: Intuition is the quality that will successfully guide you through the events of this week. Sometimes logic doesn’t help much when we need to know what to do. You can do all the weighing up in the world but just keep going round in circles. Sometimes you have to feel your way forward, and that is what you must do now. What does your heart say? Are there any signs from the universe? Where do you feel pulled or called? Make time to go within via meditation or quiet time alone and you will hear the subtle whispers of your inner voice guiding you to where you need to be. |
Scorpio
(22 October – 21 November)
Element: Water
Planet: Pluto
Symbol: Scorpion
Stone: Topaz |
Scorpio: With Mars in your sign, now is the time to move one or two mountains. Don’t underestimate your power to get things done, to initiate new beginnings and to get moving in whatever direction suits you. You should be blessed with energy and a desire to achieve something, even if it’s just a desire to clear out the clutter in your home. This is also the perfect time to begin a new project or change a situation if you’re not happy with it. In short, you’re the one with the power, so use it wisely to create what you want. |
Sagittarius
(21 November – 21 December)
Element: Fire
Planet: Jupiter
Symbol: Archer
Stone: Turquoise |
Sagittarius: With the Sun and Mercury at the top of your chart, this is a good time to focus on your goals and is favorable for your professional life. The phrase, “make hay while the sun shines” is pertinent as far as your work is concerned. This is a good time to get your message across and to ask for what you want. However, you need to be wary of getting caught up in illusions or biting off more than you can chew. Other people may think you can handle even more than normal due to your positive “can do” spirit, but this also needs to be a time of rest and recuperation, so don’t neglect your physical self and your inner needs. Overstretching yourself might earn you a few brownie points, but it might not do your health any favors. At the same time, don’t promise more than you can deliver. Your natural tendency to believe anything is possible may lead you to think in a completely unrealistic way that could lead to frustration further down the road. Use your optimism and confidence to do what needs to be done, but remember your limits. |
Capricorn
(21 December – 19 January)
Element: Earth
Planet: Saturn
Symbol: Goat
Stone: Garnet |
Capricorn: Should you find yourself feeling misunderstood this week –or worse, rejected, unloved, or unwanted –ask yourself if this really is the case or if it’s a misconception. Many times we interpret the negative actions of others as being our fault when there is a perfectly logical explanation –that has nothing to do with you –for their behavior. Then there are people who actually bring about the rejection through their own behavior. Take a step back and see what illusions you have cast for yourself about the nature of love and relationships. Any feelings of loneliness can be healed by opening your heart to others –risky, perhaps, but well worth it. |
Aquarius
(20 January – 18 February)
Element: Air
Planet: Uranus
Symbol: Water Bearer
Stone: Amethyst |
Aquarius: Buddhists say that desirous attachment is the root of our suffering. With that in mind, is there something that you’re currently attached to that is causing you stress or unhappiness? It could be the attachment to an outcome or need to have someone or something. It could be an attachment to a belief that is at odds with what your want to achieve. Or it may be an attachment to needing to have a situation be a certain way. Your challenge this week is to let go and allow things to be as they are. If you can do this, the chances of your experiencing a breakthrough in what previously seemed a stuck situation are very high indeed. |
Pisces
(18 February – 19 March)
Element: Water
Planet: Neptune
Symbol: Fish
Stone: Bloodstone |
Pisces: A trouble shared is a trouble halved so whatever you’re worrying about, talk to another understanding person and you will soon feel much lighter. This is a perfect week for connecting with other people and bridging any gaps that may have formed in your relationships. It is likely that you will find your thoughts turning toward at least one important relationship, and if you want to improve matters, now is the time to talk. Remember also to schedule some play time into your days this week as Venus in your fifth house of fun is calling you to play and immerse yourself in the world of imagination. Perhaps you could take a trip to the theater or cinema with someone special. Spend time with children or lose yourself in a imaginative novel. You will find that the more time you spend engaging your imagination, the sooner inspiration will flow and the more creative you will be. |
