The bold Aries Sun pushes us into unknown territory as it shakes the foundation with Pluto in Capricorn. Changes are afoot and radical departures should be welcomed as this points the way forward. Stagnation no longer satisfies our needs and restlessness seems pervasive. It is through moments of such profound planetary activity that we shake off apathy and events begin to unfold that drive home the point. Results may not be tangible yet, but the seeds are being planted. Mercury has dipped back into Pisces during his retrograde to stir up illusive concepts and muddy the waters. Pausing may be the best approach until these waters clear.

Aries 

Expect the unexpected as job offers and personal connections pan out in the most extraordinary patterns. You might have to pinch yourself as reality becomes harder to believe. Chance conversations may open doors you never could have imagined. Keep yourself active and public so that you enhance your great benefactor; chance.

This should be a great week for you to get out and connect with potential partners. Lots of surprise beginnings are possible under this influence so be on the lookout. What starts as a casual conversation could easily shift into a potential liaison. These experiences are most likely while traveling or in a learning environment where your common goals could easily bring you together.

 You may be surprised to find that you are responsible for someone else's welfare. Perhaps you are assigned custody or executorship for a friend or business associate. You may most likely be managing a financial issue so be mindful of the complexities in that sort of scenario and tread very carefully, but with hope.

Cancer   
You may be in the midst of blending two significant areas of your life. Both your career and your significant relationships may be coming together as your plans continue to unfold. While you may not be able to turn back at this point be certain to understand the monetary aspects of your decisions.

Powerful synchronistic energy exists across your house of health, education and transitions. What does that mean? Be on the lookout for potential new training or travel prospects. It may be that you are broadening your skill set in new, unusual fields. The more you understand the more valuable you will become.               

Other people's money may be occupying your mind this week. You may be investigating financial alternatives and coming up with some remarkably creative concepts. Outside input should come in quite handy so when in doubt; reach out. You may actually be quite immersed in this process to the point where you may not be able to concentrate on anything else.

When it comes to family and career you are always diligent and dedicated, however, this week may find you torn between the two. It could be that you have to find a way to balance both and the solution might be quite surprising. It would be a great time to push for telecommuting or another creative measure for work. 

Get your facts straight. This will be more important now than ever since it will have an impact on your well-being going forward. You might be in the midst of a new transition and the choices you make can have significant impact. No need to panic, just get outside advice. You'll be relieved.

You may be looking at ways to invest that are a bit unusual. Be careful on acting too quickly as the results could be lasting. Outside sources may be appealing but at what cost? Letting go may be difficult, but it also might be the right thing to do. Only you will know the answer.

The family remains a singular focus for you during this week as unexpected events may open doors. Emotions may run high as news travels back and forth amongst siblings and relatives. A celebratory event may unfold that brings out the best in those you care about the most. Dedication and hard work are paying off.

Your words may carry an extra impact this week as you spin out plans for expansion and initiation. These times are ripe for new starts as long as you can get the backing. The challenge comes from the words and their power to persuade. Always take the high road and let the backroom chatter fade.

Pay close attention to your friends and associates as events lead you to express opinions and direction. Flashes of creativity may appear in your financial sector so be on the look-out for opportunities. Any and all background work should prove to be invaluable. Act with discretion and jump in with courage.
