ARIES HOROSCOPE
This week there are difficult Mars/Saturn and Sun/Pluto oppositions, so your bossy Aries side could take over (especially at home and/or work). If you sweat the small stuff, then you’ll end up feeling tired and emotional by the end of the week. Perhaps it’s time to de-stress, as you meditate, contemplate, ruminate and relax. You might just enjoy it! Plus pay close attention to a developing domestic situation, and the symbolic messages in your nightly dreams.
TAURUS HOROSCOPE
With two oppositions and Venus slowing down (before it turns retrograde on the weekend) the intensity levels ratchet up, and issues involving relatives, friends, neighbours, travel or education could be complicated. Jealous thoughts and possessive behaviour are also a danger. If you’re not careful, you could find yourself embroiled in a fiery argument or a frustrating power struggle. Smart Bulls will step back and gain some much-needed perspective.
GEMINI HOROSCOPE
It will be difficult to balance head and heart this week. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try! Loved ones or work colleagues will attempt to throw you off balance, scramble your sense of certainty, or press your emotional buttons. But it’s up to you to deflect their efforts with plenty of Gemini grace and good humour. Your motto for the moment is from birthday great Nelson Mandela “A good head and a good heart are always a formidable combination.”
CANCER HOROSCOPE
Sensitive Crabs are ruled by the silvery, changeable Moon. So you can’t help but be affected by this week’s New Moon in Cancer, as it stirs up your emotions. Plus the Sun and Pluto agitate professional partnerships or romantic insecurities. But becoming overemotional and unreasonable won’t help matters. Instead, tune into the magical promise of the new moonbeams as you learn to love yourself, celebrate your strengths and follow your dreams.
LEO HOROSCOPE
Thursday’s Sun/Neptune trine boosts your creativity. But Saturday’s tempestuous Sun/Pluto opposition highlights your inclination to jealous, possessive, bossy or overbearing behaviour. So do your best to loosen your intense grip on a loved one, otherwise you’ll just drive them away with your dramatic pronouncements and demanding Diva-like antics. Then the fiery Sun shifts into your sign, when it’s time to sparkle and shine!
VIRGO HOROSCOPE
Some Virgos will reminisce about an old love or experience a disappointment, as you discover you’ve over-committed energy and enthusiasm to a project (or relationship) that’s going nowhere. It’s time to reformulate your goals for the future, as the New Moon activates your hopes and wishes zone. But steer clear of dubious dreamers and manipulative schemers. Surround yourself with positive people who promote your talents and support your dreams.
LIBRA HOROSCOPE
This week looks rather stressful, as Venus (your power planet) slows down before it turns retrograde on the weekend. Do your best to be patient and persistent. Your motto for the moment is from birthday great, Nelson Mandela “It always seems impossible until it’s done.” You could also become unsettled about issues involving home, work or finances. So avoid making long-term decisions until you can view the current situation from a more objective perspective.
SCORPIO HOROSCOPE
The stars boost your personal magnetism – and your manipulative side. Pluto gives you an energy surge that increases your desire to be in charge. But, if you want to avoid unnecessary power struggles and unpleasant dramas, stop trying to control others. You can be powerful and passionate – or compulsive and controlling. If you’re a smart Scorpio, then you’ll choose the path of least resistance as you channel your energy in positive and proactive ways.
SAGITTARIUS HOROSCOPE
You’re keen to expand your knowledge base, as you pick up ideas and inspiration from all corners of the world. Sagittarians are the cosmopolitan global citizens of the zodiac, so get connecting with your international buddies ASAP! But – with the New Moon and the Sun/Pluto opposition stirring up your $$$ zones – it’s not a good time to lend cash, borrow money or initiate a joint financial partnership. Instead, be patient and wait for a more auspicious week.
CAPRICORN HOROSCOPE
This week (courtesy of transformative Pluto) an obstacle could be placed in your path. Or you could be drawn into a power struggle with a relative, friend or work colleague. Don’t stress and obsess! Sometimes hurdles help you slow down and see the path ahead more clearly. Then you can adjust our compass and tweak your plans. So keep going Capricorn. Your motto is from birthday great Nelson Mandela, “A winner is a dreamer who never gives up.”
AQUARIUS HOROSCOPE
Monday night’s New Moon activates your work and daily routine zone so it’s a good week to start a job, launch a business, begin a new diet or embark on a rebooted exercise program. With Venus in your relationship zone, it’s time to harmonise, compromise and cooperate with the main people in your life. As birthday great Cat Stevens sings “peace train sounding louder … come on the peace train.” Get in quickly before Venus turns retro on the weekend!
PISCES HOROSCOPE
If you’re involved with a group, class, club or organisation, then expect power plays and personality clashes. A partnership could also be placed under temporary strain. When it comes to your social circle, aim to be much more discriminating. Don’t waste precious time on negative people who undermine your confidence. Surround yourself with stimulating new friends as well as trusted old mates. Thursday highlights compassion, creativity and spirituality.
