What’s in the stars for the week ahead?
By Cathryn Moe
ARIES
Mar 20-Apr 19
♥♥ ¥¥ ♣♣♣
Uranus and the South Node of the Moon meet for coffee this week—hmm—in Aries, the Ram. Destiny amplified. The Moon’s North Node is retrograde in Libra, and not everything will make sense. Some people may seem to have lost it, as the energies are too subtle for them to keep up with (and Mercury is retrograde, as well). However, you’ve made the jump, the big leap. You’ve cleared the fence, a colossal hurdle, and can now walk calmly, checking out new scenes. Don’t stay where you aren’t you—let someone else do that. You belong wherever you want to be: That’s the Aries way!
TAURUS
Apr 20-May 19
♥♥♥ ¥¥¥ ♣♣♣♣
Are you feeling … well, just a bit different these days? The spinout has been perfectly timed, hasn’t it? The planet looks like it’s on its knees when you watch the news or read the latest astro report. Growing up’s hard and it can be painful—but it can’t be stopped. We’re in an accelerated time-shift, and we see more of what’s real. The blinders have been taken off. Some of us are moving faster than others, so those we admired may seem a bit silly, while others who were obtuse, now make sense. The Sun lights up your career sector this week. Mercury retrograde whispers, “Don’t sign yet”—but do keep your next step within easy walking distance!
GEMINI
May 20-Jun 20
♥♥ ¥¥ ♣♣♣
A person’s mood is everything. You can read something one moment and feel one way, then read it the next and have a whole different take. That’s why Mercury is responsible for people acting in a most mercurial way. By the way, it’s retrograde—in a non-threatening manner, of course. As your ruling planet, it just wants to have a bit of fun and pick up pieces of the game that fell out on the way in. But wait! Mercury begs you to reconsider. Give what you are doing a bit of patience, and you’ll see the blossoming of flowers, the fruit of your virtue, begin to take a shape that fits you perfectly.
CANCER
Jun 21-Jul 21
♥♥♥ ¥¥¥¥ ♣♣
This can be an intense week for you: You’re seeing with blinders removed. Old beliefs just break off and float away like flower petals in the breeze, gone forever. Fear is replaced with confidence and action, and you are becoming the one others need to heed. The karma of the past is nothing like the impending next stage of your life. With structures crumbling and minds bending, you’re remembering what you knew as a child. Life’s an adventure and you can change it at any moment. Mercury is retrograde. Check your options, but don’t sign anything just yet! Be kind to yourself so that romance can follow.
LEO
Jul 22-Aug 21
♥♥♥ ¥¥¥¥ ♣♣♣♣
Glad to be released from the old paradigm and just happy to see what’s around the corner? Some people can flow with changes, adapting to each new circumstance, while others put up resistance, and there’s merit in that, too. You may be overwhelmed with options as Jupiter retrogrades towards Juno, while Juno moves retrograde as well. Your backup is acting … well, a bit elusive this week. Never mind: The Sun is opposite Leo, balance will arrive and you could find yourself in the midst of a new romance. While it may slide around like hot butter on toast, it could be rather sublime and exquisitely divine.
VIRGO
Aug 22-Sep 21
♥♥♥ ¥¥¥ ♣♣♣♣
Feeling a bit itchy to move on this week? It can happen in the twinkling of an eye—not that it hasn’t been building for some time. At some point, your awareness needs to pop through the surface and just march on through—which it will do, and then you’ll be running to keep up. The pinnacle of the pendulum has reached its zero gravity point. Chiron is exactly halfway through your solar seventh house of partnership. Mars, however, has moved past. This is not as much a time to analyze as to feel—and enjoy it, because you did exactly what you wanted to do, which is what life has been trying to say, anyway.
LIBRA
Sep 22-Oct 22
♥♥♥ ¥¥¥¥ ♣♣
Every time you think the road has become level, someone comes in and just blows it up. One way or the other, paths are coming undone. That’s not to say there’s something terribly wrong, it’s just the constructs of what did work no longer does, and you’re not about to put up with it. Think of it this way: You’re at the end of one cycle, perhaps one that has happened for thousands of years or many incarnations. Then, just because you’re an amazingly zingy spirit, you get to be here when the next cycle starts. But the roads aren’t built, the bridges aren’t there, the mindset is in the early stages of development. There you go! Stick around, we need you!
SCORPIO
Oct 23-Nov 21
♥♥ ¥¥¥¥ ♣♣♣
It really is mostly under the surface this week. The preponderance of planetary activity will be behind the scenes, except you may find you’re a bit of a star in your career—or you’re offered far more opportunities than there are hours in the day. In any case, it won’t be boring. You won’t be standing around with endless time on your hands, wondering when the other shoe will drop. They’ll all be falling at the same time. Romance is completely intense, entirely slippery and endlessly fascinating. Did I say frustrating? Well, that too, because the completion, the boundaries, are not quite yet set.
SAGITTARIUS
Nov 22-Dec 20
♥♥♥ ¥¥¥¥ ♣♣♣
Usually, you’ll see a situation without feeling compelled to become the authority. Scolding and setting boundaries isn’t your favorite mode. However, with Saturn in your sign, you’re being forced to be the disciplinarian. Too many people and places have been running amok, and they’re not going to stop unless you show your stern side. Initially, you may be aghast at putting an end to the party—since you’re the one people usually come to to ask where the parties are! Checks and balances are an aspect of any astrological, or natural, cycle. Saturn in your sign makes you the parent. Lucky you!
CAPRICORN
Dec 21-Jan 19
♥♥♥♥ ¥¥¥ ♣♣♣
If you look outside yourself for validation, all you will see are funhouse mirrors reflecting distortions of the truth. Generally speaking, the stress of the energies hitting the planet right now are causing things to crack: People are crumbling, societies are in the midst of a solar synapse. Don’t let this stop you from remembering who you are. You create from the ground up—it’s what you’re best at. You may be feeling fed up, but in actuality, you have the patience of Job. You don’t have to follow the status quo because soon it will cease to exist. So what should it become? It’s your oyster, your dreamsicle, your ring-a-ding-ding … anything you want. Just ask—repeatedly.
AQUARIUS
Jan 20-Feb 17
♥♥♥ ¥ ♣♣♣
With the Sun in Aquarius, you can enjoy a birthday dance across the waters of your wit and wisdom. Caught in the cross-currents of understanding too much, yet feeling like you know nothing? Not that the two can’t be the same thing. What’s actually happening? At our core, we are all one. With that as your focus, take a break, let your mind wander and allow your streak-of-genius ruling planet Uranus to crack through to prophetic levels. You’re fighting for your integrity and to keep yourself intact. Find some space, stand in your own resonance. Know yourself so that you can create what serves you (and then others) best.
PISCES
Feb 18-Mar 19
♥♥♥♥ ¥¥¥ ♣♣♣♣
You can feel good about what you’re doing. You’ve tried and tried, putting your heart and soul into something very important. It’s not quite time to feel total steadiness, but know the tide has turned in your favor. Use your quiet radar to pulse the latest signals. To say things are in flux is an understatement. Your courage leads the way, but your heart is the command center: Follow what you know to be true, even in the face of deception. Nepune, your ruler, handles both divine love and ultra duplicity. The resources you need are there when you stay on the path of truth, which, by the way, is changing every moment.
