A sense of responsibility should dominate our experiences as the Moon joins Saturn and allows us to express ourselves with a sense of duty. Does this escalate the conversation we are all having? It should; in the best of ways. Yet Uranus continues to stir in restless Aries as it moves closer to a square with powerful Pluto. The mathematics of the universe will surely be present for us to witness the interaction of these two transformative planets. The coming months will see an increase in this type of electrical charge. Rebellion is brewing in a kettle on a slow boil. Mercury, stations direct, and the power of words remains paramount, so choose your phrases with care.

Aries 

As a natural trailblazer you hardly need an invitation to start something, however, your ruling planet, Mars will still be stuck in reverse so pay it heed and simply chill; if that's possible. You would hate to act on impulse and close a door that could not be reopened too soon.

Wrap it up and you'll take it as several projects may be coming to a gradual close. This would be a good time to scan the horizon for new opportunities, especially in financial matters. You may have knowledge of what didn't work in the past and can now find a more solid creative approach.

Personal connections may come in quite handy, especially if they are ones that can be trusted such as distant family contacts. Use your knowledge to compose a plan that satisfies many. Slow, careful analysis should be your operating mode since peeling away the layers may reveal a treasure hidden beneath.

Cancer   
Work continues to draw most of your attention as you formulate a rather bold and unusual plan that may also involve your partner. Pause and reflect since merging two areas of your life into one can come with risk. Follow that gut feeling and adhere to the suggestions made.

Prepare to travel and broaden your scope. Unusual connections and opportunities are the ones that may hold the greatest potential so heed their arrival. A few carefully chosen words at just the right moment could shift the situation considerably, especially with financial matters. If you can wait to sign papers; then do.                   

You may have been slogging through mud lately and unable to gain traction. Red tape and organizational complications may have left you frustrated, but the energy should abate soon. Career plans may soon show some light. A constructive talk with your partner might help clear the air and provide some security.

And the fun continues in your relationships. One day you're riding high and the next you're in the dog house. A rocky road will continue to test and push you into new spaces in this area of your life. If you expect to be surprised, you may have more power when it happens.       

When it comes to helping others you have done more than your share. Perhaps it might be time to ask for some favors in return. It's not that you are keeping score, it's just that you might need a shoulder to lean on right about now. Surely you admire the loyalty of those who care.

A creative light-bulb may go off and startle you with its brilliance this week. If you can find a way to capitalize on it you'll be all the wiser. It could change your path in the most profound manner. Caution should be your guide though since if it glitters it might not be gold. 

You might receive some encouraging words regarding your work. Someone may be watching and keeping a most pleasing tab on you. Written correspondence should remain an important part of your routine this week. Expect some interesting news on the home front. It might be that a new living arrangement appears. 

The week looks busy for communicating ideas with bolts of opportunistic activity. The right words at the right time may be invaluable for making your point. You might be unstoppable and utterly convincing. This, of course, can put you in a significant bargaining position with resource providers and investors.

Financial matters may dominate your focus with lots of input from partners and business associates. Try to remain objective and, if in doubt, take the time to pause and reflect before acting. You may be feeling especially aggressive, which could backfire if you are too hasty. If it's too good to be true....
