| Week of April 16
Curious Mercury and rebellious Uranus join together this week in the fiery, trail-blazing sign of Aries. This type of intellectual chatter drives conversations and actions of the most impulsive order. This activity, along with the direct motion of Mars, another blazing player brings action, aggression, ambition and even the possibility of anger, to the table. Beware! Mars has been retrograde since late January and, as the ruling planet for Aries, will be surging forward in some tangible manner. This type of energy will be highly likely for any and all cardinal signs, (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn) and their elemental counterparts. This is applying energy so the build-up will be obvious as it peaks next week.
Aries
Your ruling planet, Mars will be moving direct after being stuck in reverse for the last 3 months or so. You may be anxious to accomplish and itching to move. Uranus and Mercury will be cheering you on. The urge may so strong it will be hard to convince you of any other direction but forward.
Taurus
This will be a terrific week to either bring projects to a close or begin new ones. Your house of transition has powerful planetary activity that brings those concepts to light. You may feel duty-bound and eager to move forward in all creative projects. Since the Sun will soon be setting in Taurus you may feel especially empowered.
Professional associations will be very important this week. Any sort of connection you can make with others regarding business should be fruitful. This should be a time when your enthusiasm and intellect come in quite handy. Express your ideas and work in collaboration with others. Great results can come from sharing ideas and ventures.
Cancer
This should be a substantial week for your career. If you are working to get an idea or business off the ground this would be an excellent time to launch. You may also find yourself in the spotlight at work for some significant reason. Your house of career is supported very favorably by significant planets.
Any effort you put into education or travel will be helpful. Your house of adventure has lots of activity which is perfect for anything along those lines. New training, new vistas all excite and seem to be right at your feet this week. It may be very likely you will be traveling and learning for work.
Virgo
Your ruling planet, Mercury will be in touch with Uranus which can present out-of-the-blue types of events. Chance connections, lucky breaks and all sorts of synchronistic events are likely. Most of the activity occurs in your house of other people's money so it would also be good for refinancing or outside investments. Libra
This may been quite a lively time for you and your partner. You may relish it or regret it. Either way the conversations in your week are most likely around this person. It might be time to have a long heart-to-heart about where you two are going (or not). The times may be quite intense so act accordingly. Scorpio
This should be an excellent time to start a new health regimen. Your house of wellness has the power of the Sun, Mercury and Uranus all lined up to help you. This house also represents where you help people, so extending yourself in any charitable manner would also serve you well. Sagittarius
This should be an especially creative time for you as Uranus and Mercury join in your house of innovation. This may be when you wake up at night with a brainstorm that simply will not stop. It would be wise to keep a recorder nearby to capture those ideas as they fly by. Capricorn
New living arrangements and all issues having to do with your domestic scene should be apparent this week. Perhaps you are focused on your family, siblings, or other home-centered activities. Sudden events may be delivered by way of your home. Perhaps you can see the hand-writing on the wall as plans now finally come to fruition. Aquarius
Communications and research will be especially important topics for you this week. Mercury and Uranus bring about sudden shifts and correspondences of the most unexpected order. Perhaps a resignation comes forward at work or you stumble upon an interesting piece of information that answers many questions about the past. What do you do with this? Pisces
Finances are the key word in your week. Whether you are preparing a balanced budget for work or working out the details of an investment portfolio for your future, you will be singularly focused on this area of your life. Responsibility is the cornerstone of all you manage. Be mindful of it. 2012 Chris Flisher |
