What’s in the stars for the week ahead?
By Cathryn Moe
ARIES
Mar 20-Apr 19
♥♥♥ ¥¥¥ ♣♣♣♣
You may be stretched to the max. You fight and give and stand for what’s right. Then your body needs a rest, and if you don’t, it will snap like a twig in a storm. That’s the way it is when you play on the 3-D field. So give yourself a break and take the time you need to take care of yourself, even if it looks like some things may slip through the cracks. If it’s meant for you, you’ll get it back. Even you, dear Aries, harbinger of all things that need to change for the better, deserve a little R&R. Saturn and Pallas Athene are in your solar ninth house. You’ll use originality and steadiness. Be strong in legal matters.
TAURUS
Apr 20-May 19
♥♥ ¥¥ ♣♣♣
You can plan everything in its limitless linear logic, and still have it change out of nowhere. The universe has to concur for things to go your way, which means the collective unconscious can sway. How do you stay in high winds to catch the truth as it wraps itself around you and threatens to carry you off? First things first: Give yourself a break. You’re part of a whole, which has chosen to be here for incredible transformation during supercharged odds. You have your work to do, and you do it well. But remembering fun, joy and peace within is just as valuable as a sparkling gem—which is actually what you are, so remember!
GEMINI
May 20-Jun 20
♥♥♥♥ ¥¥ ♣♣♣♣
There are underlying messages this week, but you can skip them and go to the head of the class. Geminis love education and learning, as long as it keeps your mind occupied. Wherever you are, whatever you’re doing, you’ve been through a lot. Your understanding is greater and deeper than some may realize. It doesn’t matter what others do or don’t know. Those who are meant to be close to you will be, because they will match the love and compassion you emanate. If they don’t get it, you’ll be freed up to connect with those who are just as lovely to be around as you are.
CANCER
Jun 21-Jul 21
♥♥♥♥ ¥¥ ♣♣♣♣
You don’t have to worry about being judged this week, regardless of your choices. People will understand. Cancers have a quality that sustains: You help others get in touch with their feelings, which allows them to keep going. Sometimes it’s as down-to-earth as making a soup or baking a muffin. Other times, it’s so esoteric, it’s a wisp from a moonbeam that whispers your answer. After all, you are the Moonchild. You have magic in each breath, if only the world could remember. Ceres is approaching Pluto opposite your sign. Watch out, world!
LEO
Jul 22-Aug 21
♥♥ ¥¥¥ ♣♣♣
Leaders have their ups and downs. There’s a time to assert, to rule, or withdraw. It’s all part of a bigger cycle. Where do you see yourself, ruler Leo? Interestingly, in astrology, Leos govern the heart. The heart tells the body what to do. The heart is the center, where choices are made through compassion, joy and concern for others. You have a chance every day to be who you are in this respect. The views of others, the focus, their judgments, need not be yours unless you feel they ring true for you. Letting go of the non-essentials is likely to bring you joy and breathing space this week.
VIRGO
Aug 22-Sep 21
♥♥♥♥ ¥¥¥ ♣♣♣♣
The universe doesn’t dictate—you have a vote. It’s just that there are times when the bigger scene knows where you fit best, and helps you find your way there. If you’re feeling you can’t be yourself, that’s a big clue. Sometimes it’s at a job, or with so-called friends, or even with family. You haven’t done anything wrong; in fact, if you’re aware of it, you’re pretty much doing everything right. The layers of love that surround the planet don’t always have a clear way through. It’s up to you to remember to love yourself with gentle understanding even if no one else is there for you. Then love lives on.
LIBRA
Sep 22-Oct 22
♥♥ ¥¥ ♣♣♣
Love is calling you, but she’s taking a different tone. Your ruling planet, Venus, is not just about what’s lovely to see or what sounds silky to your ear. In ancient times, Venus was a warrior goddess, and now she’s back. How do you stay centered in love when there is deception, when life is crumbling all around? You fight with integrity, of course. And love yourself; only the highest form of love can reach the planet for its ultimate growth. You have a lot to do, and you will find so many friends on the same path, it may bring you to tears. Saturn and Pallas Athene have entered your solar third house of communication. Soon, there will be no holding back.
SCORPIO
Oct 23-Nov 21
♥♥♥ ¥¥¥¥ ♣♣♣♣
This could be a rather heady week for you—especially if you have someone in your heart. Express yourself with abandon. Goddess Venus connects with tumultuous Neptune in your solar fifth house of love and romance. She graces this plucky planet with a brush of her fingers over the weekend. Of course, at the same time, don’t be mad if the person you seek reacts in an elusive manner. It’s likely they’re swept up with inner crashing waves of feeling—known as being shy—or may wonder whether you really mean them. Fools rush in, but at least they’re willing to try; cynics make clouds turn gray.
SAGITTARIUS
Nov 22-Dec 20
♥♥ ¥¥¥ ♣♣♣
The upset with Saturn entering your sign is beginning to settle down … or at least, after having a taste of it over the holidays, you know what truths you’ll have to adjust to. This doesn’t mean you don’t get to have your own truth too. Every vote counts, whether it’s at work, at home, with a partner or spouse, or a family member. Sags are often misunderstood. It used to be just Scorpio, but now you have joined in the fray. Being in the front lines of “doing what’s right” takes tons of energy, doesn’t it? So remember, you have needs this week, and act accordingly for yourself. Financial backup is coming.
CAPRICORN
Dec 21-Jan 19
♥♥♥♥ ¥¥ ♣♣♣
Everything happens the way it’s supposed to, and doesn’t that just sound unfair? The whole point is, you’re being divested of things that don’t serve you, no matter how beautiful or wonderful you may have hoped they would be. The dream of the Piscean era is over. It’s painful and unfortunate, but it’s breaking apart to reveal the Aquarian era. You’re living through the pinnacle of exquisitely painful change. A person could reincarnate for a thousand years and never go through this. So pat yourself on the back, take a breath and choose what you’d like to usher in to your new life.
AQUARIUS
Jan 20-Feb 17
♥♥ ¥¥¥ ♣♣♣♣
Are you freaking yourself out? Do you finally have what you’ve asked for, but it doesn’t look like what you had in mind? As an Aquarian, you can be detached—too detached. You have a brilliant mind and are known for it, but being detached can also be a shield. It can protect you from hurt, but it can also keep the warmth and wonder out. Getting what you want can be scary—too scary, sometimes. Would you feel you’d lose control of a situation if you really had what you’ve asked for? Then ask again, but this time, in a different way, so that you only request what fits your heart and highest integrity.
PISCES
Feb 18-Mar 19
♥♥♥ ¥¥¥¥ ♣♣♣
Gosh. A lot of starlight and wonderment, and a little slosh-slosh. Mars is about to hit Chiron—a slight understatement. The exact connect is over the weekend. There’s nothing you can do when a deep truth is sliced open, but use every reserve to let the healing begin. Use your well-honed instincts and intuition to abrade the forces that may push you to go against your heart. If you feel something more—time, research, money—needs to be addressed, you’ll be saving not just yourself but a lot of loved ones from acting too hastily. Luckily, Venus connects with Neptune on the same day to bring ideal love close.
