There is more than the usual dose of the crazy, unhinged, weird and explosive going on this week, thanks in large part to an opposition between Mars in Libra and Uranus in Aries. So before we get into that, let’s all relax by watching some otters play a keyboard.
There, feel better? Good. Now… look out! Mars is returning for its final swing at the degrees of the Cardinal Grand Cross. Think back to what areas of your life were causing you agitation (and which ones saw forward motion) in the last part of April, and get ready for some of it to come back. Thankfully, this is the last time Mars takes a pass at this point before it moves on to Scorpio in July.
There’s a New Moon on Thursday evening/Friday morning in Cancer, with both Neptune and Pluto involved, so there’s a good chance you’ll be able to make some significant course corrections then. Pay attention to where The Suck happens in your life this week, and that’ll give you a good clue as to what changes are needed. I’ll have details on the New Moon for you closer to the end of the week.
Venus enters Gemini on Tuesday, and since both Venus and Mars are in Air Signs, there’s slightly more than the usual truth to the idea that “you create your own reality” when it comes to your social life and your love life. And that would be great, except of course a social life requires other people, most of whom seem to be too busy creating their own realities without you just fine, thank you very much.
Oh dear, now I’m depressed. Quickly… more otters!
In theory though, Venus in Gemini improves your odds of talking someone into playing along with you, so give that a try.
Now, your forecast:
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Take stock of your personal resources throughout the first part of the week, because you’ll probably be needing them for the weekend, when a lot of loose threads may start to fray.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Cut loose a little. The next week should give you a few more opportunities to be yourself. Plan ahead for a fun weekend, and stay open to opportunities to make peace.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): After a rough start, most of the week should be a relatively comfortable groove. Then: you’re looking good, you’re feeling good, and you know it. Be careful with your money on the weekend.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Something is sneaking up on you, and not just your birthday either… seeds are being planted for the next year of your life. Be careful where you sow them.
LEO (July 23-August 22): Ever get the feeling bigger and better things are coming? They are, but this week is mostly emotional damage control and cleanup. Next month is gonna be great though, honest!
VIRGO (August 23-September 22): Why is everyone touching my stuff? Get your own stuff! I want more stuff of my own! You’re not normally that materialistic… but this week might be the exception.
LIBRA (September 23-October 22): Your personal connections might be a little most stressed than usual. Take care of yourself first, okay?
SCORPIO (October 23-November 21): Yeah, I know… being diplomatic about stuff is kinda boring when you could just shoot someone and get it over with, right? Don’t do that this week: your powers of persuasion will be pretty strong.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22-December 21): You might have to make some serious re-adjustments in your routines. You’ll have the urge to go hard, but don’t overdo it. Relax.
CAPRICORN (December 22-January 19): It might feel a little like you’re shouldering too much of the load alone, but the good news is that you can take it. Your social life lightens up next week.
AQUARIUS (January 20-February 18): There are plenty of opportunities to treat life lightly and have some fun this week, and you should take advantage of them. The party starts now — and it starts with YOU.
PISCES (February 19-March 20): You know, some days you’re best off just hiding at home… and a large portion of this week is like that. Sometimes you’ve gotta spend time in the nest before you go flying.
