Mars heads in retrograde motion. During the station (standing still) the power of Mars is immense so beware of the energy present. Retrograding always means reflecting and looking backwards in an effort to learn. Are our motives correct? Are we moving in the right direction? Should we re-double our efforts? All of these, and more, are appropriate questions to ask. As the Moon slips in beside Venus (and opposes Mars,) the warmth and magnanimous glow of these two can be a powerful, even toxic mix. As they move through Pisces we can expect deep, hidden compassion and desire. This calming feeling may be rendered asunder as the Moon travels further to encounter Uranus and we come to expect revolution.

You could expect some rather interesting interchanges with friends and lovers as Venus and Mars oppose each other. At the same time Saturn and Jupiter also oppose each other across your houses of money and inheritance. Bringing home the bacon may require extra work, although the work you accomplish has a lasting impact.

Taurus 

Creatively you may be on fire, but you will have to work with others to successfully get it right. Push too hard and it might break. Time for balance, if you can find it. Deep emotions linger as your ruling planet, Venus sidles up next to the Moon and then Uranus. Can you say surprise?

Work could be the scene of a lively if not tenuous exchange as emotions and desires surface in the most unexpected manner. You may be trying to find a sweet spot between home and work that just seems elusive at the moment. Pause and try later when the planets shift.

Cancer   
You could expect some rather unusual happenings at work this week as Uranus, the planet of revolution pairs up with the Moon. Emotions can run high under this combination so be prepared. This can also signal a time of bold innovation and eccentric behavior. Seize it as an opportunity and watch what unfolds.

You could be receiving great energy for earning and financial transactions. You may be especially motivated to achieve while traveling. Beware of lively, animated discussions, though, with your significant other as the Sun and Mercury are pairing up for an unusual dialog. Perhaps your presence is required but you are unable to attend.

You may be feeling quite frustrated with large bureaucratic organizations or at least deep in the midst of trying to push your agenda through. You have great support from Mars in Virgo, but the uncertainty may be grinding you down. Fortitude would be a very handy tool right about now.

Stand back and head for cover as your house of relationships has the Moon and Uranus in a potentially heated combination. This type of alignment can go either way so simply be prepared. Fireworks or firetruck? You should probably aim for the big bang since Mercury chimes in from your creative house.

One thing about astrology is at least you have some warning and you'll need it as Saturn opposes Jupiter across your house of self and lovers. Who gets the blame and who holds the key? This could be a power struggle, but we know the tenacity of the Scorpio so bet on yourself.

If you try to sneak your way through you will get caught so be wise and take the high road. Financial dealings may be all glittery but read the fine print as Pluto and Mercury work through your house of income. Details, Sag, details. Find the secret and you'll unlock the code.

Words, once spoken cannot be retracted. Chose them carefully, especially with family members. Creativity may be at an all-time high, but the work involved my feel tiresome. This would not be the time to give up but rather make a push for the finish line. Collaborate equitably and with duty.

Budgets may show some sign of hope as Venus and the Moon join forces in your house of finance. Perhaps an influx of unexpected funds comes through research and grant-writing. Looking for money from other people can yield some fruitful results if the seed is planted at the right time.

You may very well be wearing your heart on your sleeve for all to see. There should be nothing to fear because your heart is genuine and compassionate. At least that may be how you appear to others. This could be good opportunity for opening doors. Charm can work wonders.
