If initiation was the key word for the recent past, then we should be seeing the results as Mars tips into Libra, a Cardinal air sign that raises the intellectual fervor to a new high. The fiery planet will be opposing Uranus and squaring Pluto so it would be surprising if events were not rocking. This is high-pressure time with political battles that most likely reduce the chatter to our deepest held beliefs. These core values have great significance and also serve to create activity. Mars likes to light fires and it likes to be first. Ground-breaking ideas and innovation can be wonderful by-products of such extreme planetary activity. How does this work for you?......see video for extended forecast for planet.  Read your signs below:    

Aries  (March 21 - April 19) 

Your fiery ruling planet, Mars will be sitting in your house of relations this week so be prepared to leave a lasting impression. Keep an eye on your rampant nature and pause before jumping into anything that might rock your boat. If you are cognizant of others you can act with dignity not impulse.

The Moon slips into Taurus later in the week so you'll be feeling your oats and equally happy to express yourself. A powerful drive towards anything physical and healthy may be the best outlet for your thoughts. Work it out on the pavement and get your blood pumping. Just do it.

Working closely with others may serve your over-active imagination best this week. If you feel ready to bubble over find the right partner and collaborate to diffuse the energy. You may be surprised what two heads can create. You are usually so far ahead of the game, it may be nice to have someone slow you down.

You may be quite happy if you are able to present to some sort of audience. The bottom line here is to be effect when speaking. Prospective clients, co-workers, supervisor's or even a classroom of others may be pleasantly impressed by your verbal skills and drive. Step up to the podium.

Money is a big-time topic for you this week and you are likely to pursue it with an intense drive. Yes, we all want money, but your chances are quite good if you are working with other people's money. Insurance claims, mortgages and other areas favor this activity so manage that portfolio carefully.

Your opinions will be widely known and no one will know them better than your partner. Mars will be moving through Libra and you may be especially vocal and adamant about what you want. It would be nice to see some balanced compromise, but you'll likely want things your way.

A helping hand is usually always appreciated and you'll may be the one to accommodate as Uranus steps in to urge you in that direction. This transit also bodes well for healthy actions as well so take the time to get the check up and follow the advice of medical professional. 

Creative business alliances are most likely to go well this week if you can find the right association. In fact, the more unusual and innovative the effort, the more likely you are to succeed. You would do well to do some background research before you sign any papers though. Check the facts.

The climate around the house may be a wee bit touchy so tread carefully around all family matters. By the same token you can use this energy to begin new and unusual projects that somehow dramatically change your living arrangement. You may see a family member moving out or another moving in. 

Expect an increase in the amount of correspondence you send and receive. The most striking aspect will be the type of communications which could vary widely across a wide spectrum of unusual topics. In any event, the opportunity to teach or learn should bring rich rewards especially if you are traveling.

Unexpected windfalls may appear as a distant relative may have you earmarked for some financial benefit. You may also be in hot pursuit in this area as well. Estates, wills, insurance policies and all things regarding large institutional money are favored under these skies. Pay those bills and keep on top.
