Aries
It’s kind of a prickly week. Lunar influences will be emotionally intense from the 1st to the 5th, and for the 6th and 7th, there’ll be much to think about on the career front. If you’re not making the most of your skills/talents, then this may be the week where inner or unexpressed dissatisfaction begins to emerge quite forcefully. Don’t let it swamp you: start thinking about making the necessary changes! Overdue deadlines may well catch up with you on the 7th!

Taurus
Your planet Venus will see all kinds of hectic activity, this week and may well be the root cause of a complicated or tricky issue. You won’t want to act hastily; nor will you want to let it drag out, which makes the matter that little bit more problematic, especially given that your confidence levels are likely to dip and rise by the day. Looking ahead, the best day to make any crucial decision will be the 8th! Avoid spending on the 7th!

Gemini
A sun/Saturn combination may well have quite an impact on the week. If you hear your inner voice urging caution or even downplaying any achievements, blame the Saturn aspect. If you find that you’re suddenly dithering and holding back; blame the aspect. By the same token, if you start to harbor minor suspicions regarding a specific individual, blame the aspect, not the person! Romance isn’t brilliantly aspected on the 7th!

Cancer
Lunar influences will be very intense from the start to the finish. Relationships and romance are highlighted, with shifts and changes occurring almost by the day. There’s a distinct clash of old and new, for exes are likely to make a reappearance and new love interests are likely to emerge. However, all that said, it’s also a week where a specific situation is not as it seems! There are several illuminating influences on the 7th!

Leo
Prickly influences may well be a little misguiding, this week. Solutions to temporary or minor problems should be considered very carefully if cash is involved. Don’t throw good money after bad. Be wary of loans and credit offers. Similarly, don’t offer to bail others out of a financial hole unless you’re a hundred- and-ten-percent certain that you’re not going to lose a single cent! Rein in an extravagant streak on the 7th!

Virgo
It’s a week where you’ll need to strike when the signs look good and hold back when the signs aren’t so hot. Unfortunately, those signs are likely to be a little obscured by incoming news and advice from close quarters, making it less easy to recognize which opportunities to grasp and which to ignore. You’ll perhaps get the best indications on the 2nd; that said, though, keep a close eye on your finances! There may be a choice to make on the 7th!

Libra
Until your planet Venus switches signs at the end of this week, it will be too easy to get caught up with romantic matters. What starts off on a simple note may become a little tricky. Avoid getting involved in any heavy emotional discussions. Think before making any claims or promises, especially on the 3rd, and be aware that a careless slip made early in the week will rear up again at the end! Curb slightly selfish impulses on the 7th!

Scorpio
Pluto will be at the nub of some fairly dramatic shifts, this week. The way you regard something or someone connected to romance is likely to undergo a significant change, and what is likely to cause this change is new or fresh incoming information that alters your perspective. It might even be one of those weeks where you’ll realize and admit that maybe you were wrong! You need to be careful with money on the 7th!

Sagittarius
You can get away with a certain amount this week, but only for so long, because once you lose the supportive vibes of Venus on the 5th, you’ll find that you can’t get away with a charming smile or a flattering comment any more. From then on, you’ll need to keep up with the rest. Don’t try to push your luck with colleagues, friends, and family over the weekend, either! You need to be careful with others’ feelings on the 7th!

Capricorn
Minor obstacles on the work/school front are likely to have an irritating habit of cropping up again and again, this week. You may think you have dealt with a specific matter, but secondary developments or complications may well mean that you have to go back to the drawing board at least once. Perhaps what will help is having a very decisive approach at the start, although that may not be as easy as it sounds! A great idea may need a rethink on the 7th!

Aquarius
You’ll be very tuned to the moon’s influence this week, which impacts on decisions, ideas, and personal improvement and expansion. However, the planets suggest that there will be a need for clarity and balance in any plans that you begin to make. Practical and financial considerations may well have to be factored in, especially around the 7th, when there may be a slight reality check! Listen to others may be saying on the 7th!

Pisces
Pesky lunar influences are likely to disrupt the communication lines this week, which may well impact on romance and emotional matters. There may be a tendency to make life more complicated than it really is, or maybe crossed wires will stir up old concerns. Keeping your cool will be essential; resist making mountains out of molehills and do be prepared to reconsider a suggestion/idea! Be open-minded on the 7th!

Aries
There’s a definite up-down pattern to the next seven days, which is likely to impact on work/school matters and on your daily routine. It is more than possible that plans made on the 25th will pan out by the 30th, but not before a few hitches and setbacks along the way. The trick is to keep going, but to adjust calmly to those little hitches as and when they crop up! Saturday’s influences may bring good news!

Taurus
There may well be a tendency to make minor problems slightly worse this week, thanks to intermittently blundering influences. You may well have the best of intentions, but good deeds and well meaning endeavors are likely to go awry. Miscommunication will certainly be one factor, and assuming that everything is ticking along nicely when actually it’s not, is another! Saturday’s influences put the ball back in your court!

Gemini
Fickle influences are likely to zone right in on your emotions, this week. There’ll be days where you might think that you’re being fairly consistent, but others may well perceive your responses as quite unpredictable and out of the blue. Then there’ll be days where the opposite is true and you’ll have to rev some people up or perhaps even take their advice with a pinch of salt! There’s much to be said, on Saturday!

Cancer
While overall it’s likely to be a good week, you could find that your emotions will tend to dictate the pace. If you’re feeling great you’ll feel as though you can tackle anything, but on those less than great days you might feel inclined to give in a little too easily. This may well hit a peak on the 26th and 27th, when the moon lingers in your sign and tampers around with your confidence levels! Romance sizzles on Saturday!

Leo
There are perhaps quite a few improvements to make life that little bit easier this week, but it may be hard work, since you’ll have to deal with a couple of unhelpful types initially. However, that said; there are a few insights to guide you into making the right decisions. General relationships and finances are the two key areas which will benefit from seeing the wider picture! Saturday’s influences are very settling!

Virgo
Scattered influences are likely to lull you into a kind of laid- back mood, almost from the start of the week. Deadlines and schedules are usually your strength, but dwindling efficiency levels suggest that by the 30th, you’ll be perhaps struggling to catch up with the backlog of duties/chores. However, if you can somehow find a way to keep on top, you should be able to really let your hair down at the weekend! Anything is possible on Saturday!

Libra
Communications are likely to be quite intense, but useful this week, although to begin with, you might not quite figure out what exactly has managed to get under your skin. The planets suggest that there may be a temporary confidence issue affecting your day-to-day routine and related decisions. Perhaps the root cause of this is an offhand comment made right at the start! Give someone a chance on Saturday!

Scorpio
Prickly influences this week are likely to impact very positively on work/practical matters, but less so when it comes to emotional issues. Perhaps it is a question of knowing when to relax and switch off. Accept any offers of help on the work front to relieve the pressure and free up some time. If you do this, then you can make the most of what should be a glorious weekend! There’s plenty of room for romance on Saturday!

Sagittarius
How your week pans out depends heavily on your daily routine. If you have to rely on others, then your patience levels are likely to plummet, although you’ll probably achieve what you set out to do. If you’re in a position to work alone, then you’ll feel much happier, but you’re a lot less likely to hit your targets. Striking the right balance, unfortunately, will be harder than it sounds! Be proactive on Saturday!

Capricorn
Romance is likely to get quite intense this week, with more than its fair share of hot and cold moments. There’s a little tension and a little excitement too. Attached Goats might need to avoid slipping into little powers struggles, while singles might need to shake off a rather aloof mood at the beginning. After the 26th, though, you should find that the mood heats up nicely whether single or attached! Trips are fabulously aspected on Saturday!

Aquarius
There’s no single theme dominating this week, for every day brings a slightly different emphasis. It could even be that the days alternate between work/school matters and romance. Just as one area settles down, the other bubbles up. You’ll certainly be kept on your toes, but as Sunday approaches, you could find that not only are you back on top, but there’s a nice surprise too! Be careful what you say on Saturday!

Pisces
It’s possibly one of those weeks where you’ll need to do the opposite of what you’re inclined to do. Those days when you want to take it easy will be the days where extra effort is required and vice-versa. This is applicable to both work/school issues and romance. Don’t assume that one easy day means you have it all sorted; wait until the weekend before you breathe a sigh of relief! Hold back a little on Saturday!

Aries
There’s a much lighter, airier, quicker kind of feel to the week than recently, thanks to welcome planetary transits. New ideas, new thoughts and new plans should have quite a rejuvenating effect overall and positive lunar vibes will add a little extra pizzazz to romance, while emotional matters should start to settle, although cash related issues still require a cautious approach! Your best days this week are the 19th and 22nd!

Taurus
A Mars/Jupiter combination moving in later in the week is excellent news, so if the start of the week seems a little plodding or uninspiring, just look to the 22nd, when there should be a significant or uplifting turning-point in at least one key area of your life. Career matters should certainly benefit and there may even be some good news on the cash front to celebrate at the weekend! Your best days this week are the 23rd and 24th!

Gemini
This week it is all change. Luck is in the air, thanks to infinitely more cooperative influences. However, one enduring aspect that may slow you down will need to be kept firmly in check, if you’re to make the most of what the week has to offer, which is a possible suggestion or proposal to consider, and progress or positive developments in romance! Your best days this week are the 19th and 23rd!

Cancer
Planetary changes are very likely to spur you into making quite a few changes to your routine and perhaps even to your relationships this week. The key word to sum up your approach is overhaul. Those areas that don’t quite come up to scratch should be tackled first. Don’t try to do everything all at once and do recognize just how much you achieve by the end of the week! Your best days this week are the 18th and 23rd!

Leo
A pesky sun/Pluto combination appearing midweek may be a little unsettling, in that it’s likely to eclipse or obscure your numerous achievements, and at the same time over-emphasize or exaggerate any little errors or blips. You might even finish the week presuming that you’ve got nowhere. Look to a good friend for a heart-warming, confidence boosting pep-talk! Your best days this week are the 19th and 20th!

Virgo
Career matters are likely to be very subtly nudged further forward this week. There may not be any spectacular or obvious changes to indicate this, but there should be a shift in perspective, perhaps triggered by incoming news. Do pay attention to the signs and signals, which will be cropping up throughout the next seven days and be alert to the subtle changes on the 22nd! Your best days this week are the 18th and 22nd!

Libra
There’s a breath of fresh air in this week’s influences, which point the way forwards rather than back. Old problems can be settled. Old issues can be resolved and old feelings can be sorted out once and for all. There’s a sense of closure with regards to one particular matter, but there’s a new phase or fresh start too, and the glorious Mars/Jupiter aspect links this new phase to romance! Your best days this week are the 18th and 21st!

Scorpio
There’s a very solid, stable feel to this week’s influences, but that’s not to say it will be heavy going or overly serious. It’s quite the reverse, in fact, since airier aspects will lift the mood considerably. Support is there for the asking and friendships are superbly aspected. The only potential glitch to watch out for is one related to romance. However, this should only be a temporary blip! Your best days this week are the 20th and 21st!

Sagittarius
The start of the week may feel hard-going and demanding, but the end of the week should bring a noticeable turnaround in the general mood. Communications should sharpen up nicely from the midweek point, which will benefit both work and personal relationships. You’ll be more in control and when it comes to promoting your ideas, you’ll be ahead of the game! Your best days this week are the 18th and 22nd!

Capricorn
There’s a kind of a chain-reaction in this week’s planets. Saturn will continue to beam some excellent vibes your way, especially after the 21st, when it will be much easier to work out what it is you want. A helpful change in your day-to-day routine may well point the way to further improvements. Be proactive at work and be creative in the home to get the most of the planetary goodness! Your best days this week are the 19th and 23rd!

Aquarius
You too may feel that there’s change in the air, although those changes are likely to relate to your immediate environment, since the planets are zoning in on domestic matters. It’s a good week to have family get-togethers, but it’s also an excellent week to tend to any outstanding practical matters within the home too. A lighter, airier environment in all senses is just what you need! Your best days this week are the 20th and 23rd!

Pisces
After an iffy and slow start, you should find that cash matters start to look up, thanks to a fabulous Jupiter/Mars combination. There’s not only a smattering of good luck, but a welcome energy boost too. Use this boost wisely and constructively in order to see further improvements towards the end of the week. Someone who matters will be certainly be impressed! Your best days this week are the 23rd and 24th!

Aries
From this week to the end of the month there are likely to be a few money hassles cropping up and causing low-level stress. If your car or washer requires repairs or if bills come with hidden costs, then blame Mercury. Put money aside for those rainy days. Alternatively, streamline your current budget so that you can stash some away each week, and don’t worry; it will pass! The 17th highlights a fresh way forward!

Taurus
It’s a week where you may well encounter the unexpected; it’s a week where you should exercise a little caution and at the same time, remain upbeat too, because from the very start, a string of minor influences may well resurrect an old matter or issue. Regard this as a very positive welcome second chance to either put the record straight or give yourself a reputation boost! The 17th brings balance!

Gemini
There’s a slightly sour aftertaste to the next seven days. The emphasis is on people and platonic relationships, but unreliable or selfish types will feature quite strongly, almost from the start. If you have been letting some individuals get away with a little too much, then this is the week where your patience will finally dwindle. Perhaps this is no bad thing in the long term, but do keep your cool! The 17th clears up a muddle or confusion!

Cancer
There’s a slightly sour aftertaste to the next seven days. The emphasis is on people and platonic relationships, but unreliable or selfish types will feature quite strongly, almost from the start. If you have been letting some individuals get away with a little too much, then this is the week where your patience will finally dwindle. Perhaps this is no bad thing in the long term, but do keep your cool! The 17th clears up a muddle or confusion!

Leo
This week sees a sharp U-turn in general attitudes and approaches. If there is a planetary motto, it’s this: what goes up must come down. If harmony is lacking, then use the week to restore some balance to the main key areas of your life. Tone down overly ambitious plans and schemes, but by the same token, those areas that are stale or a little jaded should be stoked up a little! The 17th highlights cash matters!

Virgo
Your daily routine may well be unsettled or disrupted this week, but while the influences shaping this development are mainly pesky, very minor ones, there’s a strong sense of progress and improvements following on from this. It’s a week where troubling news is likely to facilitate a change for the better, or where one step back actually enables two steps forward again! The 17th enables romance!

Libra
For the majority of the week it may feel like you’re swimming against the current when it comes to self-development or progress, but just as you up the stakes, you’re likely to find that the pesky obstacles in your way disappear quite suddenly. The 17th in particular may well be an eye-opener of a day. Perhaps this is the day when you’ll experience a rather surprising revelation! The 17th clarifies inner feelings/thoughts!

Scorpio
This is a good week to work on, consolidate and strengthen your relations. This isn’t just about romance, although romance is certainly a prominent part of it; it’s about work-related relationships and friendships too. If there is someone you haven’t seen or spoken to for some time, then get in touch. Don’t wait for others to initiate contact: it’ll mean more if the gesture comes from you! The 17th brings warm feelings to the fore!

Sagittarius
Your ruling planet, Jupiter, is all over the place, this week, and it is very likely to disrupt communications on several fronts. The general rule to apply over the next seven days is this: whenever you believe you’ve got something sorted, done and dusted, you probably haven’t. This applies to romantic matters and to work/school issues equally. Think before you speak and then think again! The 17th highlights a work-related matter!

Capricorn
It’s quite a momentous week this week. Your planet Saturn sheds a lot of the heavy, negative vibes, so don’t be surprised if your future starts to look a little rosier, or if there’s some excellent/uplifting news from afar. While nothing earth- shattering may happen, it’s a great time to contemplate career matters too, especially if you feel that you’re in a rut! The 17th heralds a new beginning!

Aquarius
Despite the rather heavy-influences around, you’re likely to have quite a light-hearted week. This is possibly down to the level of support and help you’ll be able to generate, if and when needed. Don’t be tempted to draw on this generous energy too many times, though: regard it as a reserve to be tapped into when absolutely necessary. Don’t forget to extend a helping hand, either! The 17th zooms in on relationships!

Pisces
There is not just one motto for you this week, there are two. The first is: ‘no pain; no gain;’ and the second is: ‘if it’s worth doing; it’s worth doing well.’ Combine these to get a sense of what the next seven days are likely to involve: effort, exertion, attention to detail, and ultimately, if you follow the planetary advise, a nice outcome, which could be cash related, but it could be someone’s genuine gratitude or appreciation! The 17th highlights romance!

Aries
The week is likely to start on a very light-hearted note; perhaps too light-hearted, for there will be a couple of days where you’ll need to be quite serious or studious. That said; there’s plenty to enjoy too, thanks to the planets activating your social zone. However, towards the weekend there’s a possible hiccup to deal with in the form of a forgotten obligation or even a financial settlement! The full moon on the 9th focuses on silly mistakes!

Taurus
Misleading influences may well encourage you to recognize all the positives and ignore all the negatives. This is especially true on the work/school front, where you may be tempted to coast along for the rest of the week on the back of one minor success. This is not a good tactic: other people’s patience levels will wear thin. Your best strategy is to take what you deserve, but no more! The full moon on the 9th focuses on romance!

Gemini
What you may need to guard against between the 4th and the 9th is getting bogged down with too much detail, while between the 7th and the 10th you’ll need to watch out for getting too carried away with plans and ideas. During the tricky overlap between these two periods, from the 7th to the 9th, there’s every possibility that you’ll make life much harder than it really needs to be! The full moon on the 9th focuses on inner thoughts!

Cancer
From the 4th to the 7th luck will be with you. However, on the 8th and 9th that streak of good luck may seem as though it has run out entirely, while the 10th may well see you juggling or struggling with a decision, possibly work-related, made earlier in the week. Therefore, if you avoid taking on too much when the luckier influences dominate, you’ll probably minimize the complications that might arise later! The full moon on the 9th focuses on relationships!

Leo
Your motto this week should be ‘get ahead.’ Keep on top of things; tend tasks and duties as soon as they crop up. What you need this week is a sense of achievement to keep you going; by the same logic, what is likely to slow you down is the sense that you’re falling behind. Besides, the more you can tick from your ‘to-do’ list, the more time you’ll free up for scheduling in some little treats and rewards! The full moon on the 9th focuses on routine and efficiency!

Virgo
One major influence will be more apparent during the first half of the week, while another will take control of the latter part. The overall effect may well be you blowing hot and cold and being a little unpredictable in your responses. You’ll either be inclusive and tolerant, or secretive and critical, depending on the daily lunar influences. Striving for balance may be hard work, but it will be worth it! The full moon on the 9th focuses on communications!

Libra
After a brief heavy-going start on the 4th you should find that the influences become a lot more obliging and cooperative, except when it comes to your finances. The planets from the 7th to the 9th advise caution and strict spending limits. Avoid committing yourself to any financial agreements during this time too, because the 10th hints at a minor feeling of regret or disappointment! The full moon on the 9th focuses on incoming information!

Scorpio
From the 4th to the 7th there’s a lack of confidence or self- belief, thanks to mixed influences. Incoming information on the 5th is likely to be reliable, but the timing for decisive action may not be quite right. However, the 7th will see a useful turning point or change of opinion: thanks to strong lunar influences you’ll be far less intimidated by the potential problems and far more inclined to grasp the nettle! The full moon on the 9th focuses on romance!

Sagittarius
There’s a distinct split to the week: from the 4th to the 6th dynamic influences will dictate the pace and perhaps over- emphasize a competitive streak. However, slower influences from the 8th to the 10th may well have you kicking back and taking it easy far too soon. What will be hard, but strategic, is to reverse this trend: strive to be mellow in the first part of the week and strive to add a little ‘oomph’ in the latter part! The full moon on the 9th focuses on minor niggles!

Capricorn
Glorious influences reign from the 4th to the 8th. You’ll be proficient and capable in your day-to-day routine; sensible about money and yet schedule in your fair share of fun moments too. However, the 9th may well see you being slightly put-upon or hassled by someone who perhaps isn’t being fair. If you do get a surge of requests towards the weekend, consider them carefully before agreeing to them! The full moon on the 9th focuses on old and established friendships!

Aquarius
There’ll be some strong and supportive influences buoying you up from the 4th to the 8th. These influences will moderate any over- the-top ideas/schemes and will impose practical solutions to make them workable. However, this planetary support will disappear on the 9th; from that point, watch out for misdirected energies. The fact that communications may be subject to a few misunderstandings

Pisces
It is likely to be one of those disjointed weeks, where as soon as you have dealt with one matter, another is likely to crop up. A possible part of the problem may well be the sluggish influences that will dominate from the 7th onwards. Perhaps you’ll run out of steam more easily or be inclined to take the easiest route rather than the best one. Keeping yourself motivated is what you need to do! The full moon on the 9th focuses on contacts and associates!

Aries
Lunar influences are very up-and-down this week, creating quite an inconsistent mood. One day you’ll be full of beans; the next day, full of doubt. Decisions you make quite easily on one day will perhaps trouble you the next day and you’re likely to experience one or two moments where you really wish you could retract something said. Don’t pin all your hopes on a promise or verbal guarantee, either! Communication lines open up after the 1st!

Taurus
Practical matters and financial matters dominate much of the week, thanks to certain planetary shifts, which may actually prove to be slightly misleading. There’s a suggestion of a build- up or period of careful consideration in the early part of the week, but riskier aspects towards the end may encourage you into an unwise decision that could well rebound later next week. Tread carefully! Relationships are very favorably aspected on the 3rd!

Gemini
Although it may not feel like it, your strongest day will be the 29th, which will see you at your most impartial and levelheaded. Either side of that date will see you being easily distracted. The main focus prior to the 29th will be on emotions and romantic developments; after this the tendency to give in to whims and impulses may well rock the boat on the work/school front! Be clear about what you can and can’t do on the 2nd!

Cancer
There’s an inclination this week to look for problems and perhaps not be entirely satisfied with what is actually going well. Maybe something you hear at the start is partially to blame for this underlying unease. However, in order to feel a lot more in control, you shouldn’t attach more importance to this matter than it deserves you. That said; don’t ignore this matter, either! The 3rd is primed for romance!

Leo
Obstructive influences will fade towards the end of the week, when there’s a definite sense of ‘seeing the light.’ Maybe the specific focus will be a friendship or relationship that’s currently under development or even under some strain. There are definite improvements, but don’t expect everything to slot into place just yet: it’s possible that someone in your circle is still withholding their feelings! A weight may be lifted on the 2nd!

Virgo
The moon is likely to agitate inner or dormant feelings this week even though the emphasis appears to be on work/career matters. It’s possible, to begin with, that you’ll be disinclined to confront those inner feelings, but as the moon shifts, it’ll be harder to ignore what your heart is telling you. Perhaps a good friend will already have a good idea, even before you do! Supportive influences on the 29th offer a nudge in the right direction!

Libra
A stunning Mercury/Venus combination will be with you all week. The mood is playful and bubbly, except for the 28th, when prickly influences may seem a little fault-finding or excessively demanding. The 30th, by contrast, is a day where you’ll definitely be on the right track and others may be floundering. What you shouldn’t do though, when you are eventually proved right, is gloat! Spend time with friends on the 1st!

Scorpio
It’s a fairly balanced week after an iffy start, which perhaps sees you pulled in all directions. Maybe someone will be applying a little too much pressure, but if you deal with it calmly and methodically you may well discover a very creative solution. Offer a helping hand to gain a bit of a reputation boost on the 29th, and just relax and unwind on the 3rd! Someone may reveal their feelings on the 2nd!

Sagittarius
The first part of the week sees a certain amount of emotional intensity and some useful resolutions. It’s also possible that a tricky work/school matter becomes a little easier to navigate or conclude. However, towards the end of the week romantic matters take center stage. There could be a very positive development, but if so, then it comes with a hidden downside too! Good ideas on the 1st may need to be shelved for a while!

Capricorn
A creative surge bodes extremely well for work/school matters. New or innovative methods and solutions are likely to become apparent at the right time, but it will be a temporary phase. Any resounding successes this week may not go so well next week, so when you feel that your good fortune is beginning to dwindle, start reverting back to your tried and trusted ways again! The 3rd is potentially warm and cozy!

Aquarius
Some minor but unsettling influences may well cause one or two hiccups this week. Domestic matters could require your time and energy, but you may be tempted to either postpone these matters or sweep them under the carpet altogether. Perhaps the lure of a little excitement will be too much to resist. However, whatever you neglect to complete or honor this week is very likely to re- emerge next! Use the excellent vibes on the 3rd wisely!

Pisces
A Mars/Jupiter combination is likely to cloud your vision a little, and affect the crucial timing of certain decisions, this week. Your intentions will be good, but applied methods are likely to be a little lacking or poorly planned. You’ll tend to hold back when you’ll need to be a little more daring and you’ll tend to take risks at a point where caution is required. It’s definitely a week to follow your head, rather than your heart! Don’t promise anything on the 30th!

Aries
The planet Venus brings inner feelings to the fore in a week that looks fairly busy on the work/school front too. Trying to resolve emotional issues while addressing practical matters may well cause a certain amount of frustration between the 20th and the 23rd, especially if there’s a reappearance of an old flame. However, as the weekend approaches, so the planets should bring some sense of closure or resolution! The planet Mars reawakens slumbering passions on the 22nd!

Taurus
The planets may well be a little mischievous this week. Just as you think you’re getting somewhere with one particular matter, along comes another similar or related problem. From the 20th to the 23rd you may see definite progress with regards to this issue, but it is after this period when you’ll need to be at your most flexible and perceptive. Read the signs and clues on the 22nd to get a good sense of where you should be heading! The planet Mars is a little pushy on the 22nd!

Gemini
It’s a clumsy sort of week, thanks to fairly blundering influences. That Gemini ability to think on your feet may well be in short supply, and insight is likely to be slightly out of alignment with reality. Rather than smoothing over various minor events, like you usually do, it’s possible that you’ll misinterpret questions and miscalculate solutions. This applies to both romance and work! The planet Mars is good for friendships on the 22nd!

Cancer
You’re likely to be pretty unpredictable this week, thanks to volatile Pluto exerting a strong influence from start to finish. Others may find you a little too impulsive and fickle on the work/school front; while on the romance front you’re not going to be in a very lenient mood. That said; if a minor upset with a friend develops early on, then don’t leave it any later than the 24th to resolve it! The planet Mars brings a surge of confidence on the 22nd!

Leo
After an iffy start to the week, which may well see you putting your foot in it with colleagues and associates, the general mood lifts. Useful influences offer a temporary boost of power and sensible decisions are facilitated after the 23rd. However, do watch out for being too brusque with others: if you’re a little too demanding at the beginning of the week, you may find that some people won’t let it go! The planet Mars is like a positive catalyst on the 22nd!

Virgo
It’s likely to be one of those up-and-down weeks, especially where cash matters and work/school related matters are concerned. Be prudent with your finances and be adaptable with colleagues in order to avoid unnecessary stress. There may even be something of a minor power-struggle with an associate early on. Perhaps the less importance you attach to this, the less it will impact upon you! The planet Mars gives you extra clout on the 22nd!

Libra
The planets associated with emotions may well increase your sensitivity levels this week and add a splash of drama too. Your famed ability to see both sides is likely to be out of kilter and you may tend to take certain developments or comments far too personally. It’s possible, however, that there’s one underlying difficulty or concern clouding nearly everything else! The planet Mars zones in on romance on the 22nd!

Scorpio
You’re likely to be a little high-maintenance and a trace unfair this week, thanks to rather contradictory influences, which may have you setting high standards for everyone else, whilst you pursue the fun angle. Don’t expect colleagues, friends or family to settle for this. If you don’t want to annoy the people who matter, then you will need to show willing. Don’t ask others to do anything you’re not prepared to do yourself! The planet Mars highlights the answer to an easy choice on the 22nd!

Sagittarius
It may be that your fiery traits seem to hinder progress at the start of the week, but towards the end you’ll almost certainly recognize the benefits of being adventurous and a little bold. That said; keep your nose to the grindstone from the 20th to the 23rd, because there are likely to be some fabulous opportunities opening up from the 24th. For some Archers travel will be a part of the deal! The planet Mars brings fun on the 22nd!

Capricorn
Every now and then people need a break and right now it’s supposed to be your turn. If work demands allow, then this will be a good week to switch off and wind down. If you are facing a heap of tasks and duties, then do schedule in as much relaxation time as you can. If you do manage to reduce your workload significantly, don’t be persuaded to take on more, if you can help it! The planet Mars gives you a little prod on the 22nd!

Aquarius
The start of the week is likely to be a little unsettling. Silly little slips and glitches may well get to you more than they normally would, thanks to certain influences eroding your confidence levels. Money matters may cause a little anxiety too. After the 23rd, though, you should find that not only will you regain your confidence, but you’ll find a way to exert a little more control over your finances too! The planet Mars opens your eyes on the 22nd!

Pisces
There’s perhaps a sense of feeling rather overwhelmed by practical or routine matters right from the start of the week. If so, then it’s a feeling that you shouldn’t indulge. Don’t be tempted to offload work-related problems. If it’s your problem, then you need to be seen to be dealing with it. If you can present a positive, upbeat image, then you’ve already won half the battle! The planet Mars zones in on your finances on the 22nd!

Aries
The planets will tend to highlight inner dissatisfaction this week, with the accent for you on self improvement. Perhaps the time isn’t quite right to make drastic changes to your career or future aims, but you can still formulate a few plans to be implemented for when the timing is better. There may well be some excellent news related to this in the midweek; if so, regard it as a useful starting point! The 16th focuses on career-related potential!

Taurus
It’s likely to be a bitty, disjointed kind of week, where progress is slow and where achievements seem to take twice as much time and energy than expected. However, what will make the difference is having an optimistic outlook. If you can avoid resenting the extra time/effort required, you should find that you gain a nice sense of satisfaction and accomplishment towards the weekend! The 16th focuses on strengthening ties!

Gemini
The main emphasis this week is on current personal relationships. Your key planet will keep clashing with others, creating a definite ‘one step forward; one step back’ feel to the next seven days. If one day the mood is warm, the next day it will be chilly, and any progress made on one day may well be reversed the next. It may even be that you’ll be right back where you started by the 18th! The 16th focuses on your social life!

Cancer
It’s a slightly contrary week, with the first couple of days this week the mood being quite serious at a point where you can actually afford to ease up, whereas lighter influences from the 15th may need to be deflected with a slightly more responsible approach. The planets are actually likely to put you out of step on nearly all fronts: friendships may well cause some inner confusion too! The 16th focuses on matters of the heart!

Leo
The week is likely to start off on a negative note: keeping a low profile on the 13th and 14th is your best strategy, especially when it comes to cash and practical solutions: don’t volunteer to take on any additional tasks. However, the 15th and 16th should provide a welcome contrast, although your finances will still need to be handled with care. Don’t let the coming weekend get dragged down with too much seriousness, either! The 16th focuses on financial material boosts!

Virgo
It might be in your best interests to put yourself first a couple of times this week. It’s true that selfish impulses are generally frowned upon, but the next seven days could see you being swamped by other people’s needs and demands, while your own are pushed aside, if you’re not careful. Carving yourself some uninterrupted quality time should be high on your agenda, as should delivering the occasional ‘no!’ The 16th focuses on you!

Libra
Poor communications are likely to be the root cause of minor stresses and strains this week. Fairly obstructive influences will have an impact on your professional and personal relationships, causing minor but irritating confusion. Thin- skinned types will be inclined to react more sensitively than usual, while thick-skinned types just won’t seem to get the most obvious hints! The 16th focuses on domestic matters!

Scorpio
Low level stresses could have a subtle impact on the next seven days. Perhaps it won’t be so easy to identify the reason for that low-level discontent. It’s possible that you assume part of the problem is other people’s responses, which may appear unexpected and out-of-the-blue. However, the planets suggest that the one who may well be acting a little out of character is you! The 16th focuses on dazzling communications in romance!

Sagittarius
Your week ahead is almost split down the middle. From the 13th to the 15th you’re likely to be in quite a somber mood for a fire-sign. If others are looking to you to cheer them up or provide a boost, they’ll be out of luck. However, from the 16th to the 19th you’ll be able to count on some more sparkling influences, which should go a long way to restoring that fiery charm and good humor! The 16th focuses on financial news!

Capricorn
Uptight influences at the start of the week might not seem like good news, but that slight inner tension is likely to give way to a marginally slapdash approach after the 15th. If you want to avoid making mistakes or putting your foot in it, then plan your week on the 14th, when insightful influences will be at their strongest. And it also almost goes without saying: watch the cash-flow too! The 16th focuses on all your positive traits!

Aquarius
From the 13th right through to the 18th you’re likely to slip into a hard-to-please mood, thanks to finicky influences. You’re also likely to be blowing hot and cold when it comes to issues related to work or school. You’ll perhaps be urging caution one minute and then opting for a more daring solution the next. It’s a week when the safest route is perhaps agreeing, rather than disagreeing with associates! The 16th focuses on an inner matter!

Pisces
From the 13th to the 16th you should not only actually side-step the worst of the negative aspects, but you will also manage to extract many benefits from the positive ones too. People will be inclined to listen in that first half of the week: you may even have considerable influence over one specific matter. However, the 18th sees this brief surge of power waning, so it’s definitely a case of striking while the iron is hot! The 16th focuses on the fun angle!

Aries
One strong, underlying theme highlighted this week is cash- related ventures and plans. Money matters will be due a bit of an overhaul. Those Rams who overspend will want to reign in their reserves, while those who already save may consider saving even more. Do tread carefully with medium/high risk schemes: the signs are good this week, but the planets suggest bubbling problems around the beginning of May! The full moon on the 9th highlights romance!

Taurus
The planets cast an intense vibe over the next seven days, with an up-down kind of angle creating a little disorder over personal matters. Blame Pluto for this, but there is little point trying to resist it. What you may well need is a break from everyday routine. A day with a difference where you can indulge this impulsive streak will be the tonic you need, although finding the time will be the challenge! The full moon on the 9th calls for balance!

Gemini
There’s a distinctly flat start to the week, which some might call dreary. From the 6th to the 8th there’ll seem to be nothing but dull practical matters to sort, but from the 9th, things should heat up quite rapidly, with romantic matters providing some of the longed for excitement. There may even be a blast from the past livening things up, perhaps a little too much, towards the weekend! The full moon on the 9th benefits friendships!

Cancer
You’re likely to be more in-tune with this week’s lunar vibes than normal. Moods will be intense and sometimes even quite fiery. If emotional matters suffer from this in any way, then they will actually benefit from this too, because from the 9th, while the drama may well continue, you should find that mutual feelings will become clearer and warmer. There may even be a new friendship waiting in the wings! The full moon on the 9th brings a temporary lull!

Leo
Marginally blundering influences dominate the first part of the week. It’s possible that you could unintentionally overstep the mark with a close friend or your partner early on, and this may actually reveal some underlying unresolved tensions. If you address them, then it’s very possible that you’ll experience an uncomfortable moment, but it will be ultimately good for that specific relationship! The full moon on the 9th may be quite revealing!

Virgo
It’s an emotionally intense week for nearly all the signs and unfairly others may look to you to supply the cool-headed voice of reason. It’s unfair, because you’ll be experiencing similar intensity: it’s just that you’ll be less inclined to shout those feelings from the roof tops. Besides, this intensity surge is likely to revolve around developing or working on success; career and personal talent, as opposed to romance or friendships! The full moon on the 9th is informative!

Libra
This is the week where all that gentle balance, tact and consideration associated with Libra goes out of the window. You’ll be decisive; firm; resolved and perhaps not above putting your foot down with those who expect approval from you. In some ways, this is a good week to plan for future changes. However, if you go too far against the Libran grain, then when the influences fade, so too will your resolve! The full moon on the 9th is smoldering!

Scorpio
What a week! Coming up, out of nowhere is a development in romance and singles will be especially prone to all the highs and lows of an emotionally charged seven days. Attached Scorpios will be able to channel this constructively with their partners, because a sizzling weekend certainly isn’t out of the question, but singles could find that just for once, they have actually met their match! The full moon on the 9th zones in on inner feelings!

Sagittarius
Being a sunny, optimistic Archer may not shield you entirely from this week’s intense vibes, but it will dilute the effects a little. That said; you could experience a few ups and downs over money issues and over friendship matters. With regards to your cash flow, there may be some minor bad news to deal with. On the friendship front, there could be a specific individual who shakes things up a little! The full moon on the 9th highlights personal relationships!

Capricorn
Pluto in your sign may well play havoc with your feelings this week, but this might not actually be such a bad thing. The sometimes chilly outlook will be replaced with an intensely passionate one. The specific focus of your time and energies, whether that is your personal life or professional one, will benefit, but not without a touch of drama here and there. Listen to a friend on the 10th! The full moon on the 9th creates doubt!

Aquarius
While everyone else is able to give in to the intense vibes this week, you really shouldn’t. Aim to calm things down; aim to soothe rather than agitate matters, and aim to favor logic over impulse, because the last thing you need is an excess of drama, especially when it comes to work/school matters. Keeping your cool means that you’re far more likely to recognize a good opportunity when it develops! The full moon on the 9th calls for a little space!

Pisces
Although there may be a few irritating blips to negotiate, you’ll manage to sidestep the worst of the volatile influences. However, it could be that a close friend or relative will be looking to you for some liberal support. Maybe you’ll need to develop those multi-tasking skills: dealing with your practical problems and someone else’s emotional issues may come to a head on the 10th! The full moon on the 9th focuses on others!

Aries
There will be a fair few ham-fisted influences about this week. Communications will perhaps be fairly unreliable right from the start. Don’t assume that someone understands exactly where you’re coming from, because even the most straightforward exchange of ideas is likely to be taken out of context. It’s even possible that someone’s not above twisting your words for their gains! Fun influences dominate on the 4th!

Taurus
What occurs on the 30th could actually ripple throughout the rest of the week, unless preventative measures are implemented at the start. Don’t over indulge; avoid over-spending and resist any temptations to cut corners on the work/school front. The more you invest, in terms of effort, energy, and detail at the beginning, the more you’ll reap towards the weekend! Pensive influences stand out on the 4th!

Gemini
This week’s influences are not exactly reliable. This is a week where efforts to impress will need to be backed up by some action and definitely with some visible results. However, lunar aspects at the beginning could see you over-committing yourself or delivering a careless promise that actually ends up restricting you from making any real progress. Avoid risky ventures in order to minimize any such restriction! Communications improve on the 4th!

Cancer
It’s possible that a recent or past matter will bubble up at the start of the week and then refuse to go away. Being able to separate the facts from the fiction is your best strategy, but that may well be harder than it sounds, thanks to misleading influences on the 30th, which will give emphasis to the emotional angle a little too much. That said: common sense and an opportunity to backtrack will return by the weekend! Cash matters are well aspected on the 4th!

Leo
You could experience a kind of wishy-washy start to the week. You’ll be in a friendly mood, but you will need to establish the difference between being helpful and being taken for granted. However, although you won’t be so inclined to accommodate someone’s selfish tendencies from the 3rd, you may find that a pattern has been established, and that someone’s expectations are hard to reverse! Travel is possible on the 4th!

Virgo
There’s a sense of being, or at least feeling rather overwhelmed right from the start, thanks to distracting influences. An unwise decision early in the week is likely to be regretted when more dynamic influences move in. If you do find yourself mulling over whether to give something up or even give something away on the 31st and the 1st, rethink and then wait! A helping hand may be extended on the 4th!

Libra
There’s a romantic emphasis to this week, thanks to the planets, which may well usher in a few changes that you might feel inclined to resist at first. Perhaps someone won’t be so willing to let a point go. However, you should start to recognize the benefits of those changes towards the weekend, such as warmer interactions and, for some Librans, a renewed sense of commitment! Loving influences define the 4th!

Scorpio
The negative influences will recede over the next seven days, and although there will be no great leaps forward, there should be, by the 5th, a sense of achievement or success. The 31st and the 1st may require you to be a little more patient than you’d normally be, especially if someone is being a little high- maintenance, but by the 4th you’re likely to be pleasantly surprised by an unexpected turnaround! Don’t raise old gripes the 4th!

Sagittarius
There may be a rather weak start to the next seven days, given that the 30th could feasibly cancel out previous good results or undo your hard work. It’ll be all too easy to give up or write off any losses as a bad job, but the planets suggest that you keep plugging away, because invigorating aspects on the 3rd will bring a much needed fresh perspective, perhaps leading to a nice surprise on the 5th! Be proactive on the 4th!

Capricorn
Being regarded as a diligent sign will certainly have drawbacks in a week that may be good for romantic developments, but not so good on the school/ work front. Maybe you’ll be right to over- invest your energies on the romance, but if there is a direct link between progress in romance and setbacks in work, then colleagues, who will expect more from you, may have something to say! Let your hair down on the 4th!

Aquarius
If you are your own boss or don’t have too many constraints, then you can look forward to a fairly good week. However, those Aquarians who face a strict schedule or have firm commitments may find the next seven days a little frustrating, because this is a week where you will need a certain amount of personal space. It is possible, though, that one specific individual is the root cause of your underlying irritation! Romance is highlighted on the 4th!

Pisces
This may be one of those peculiar weeks, where unwelcome developments or news at the start actually turns out to have certain advantages towards the end. It may even be a question of things happening for a reason, although you’re unlikely to recognize those reasons immediately. Give the next seven days a chance; be patient – the planets suggest that there’s clarity on the 5th! Positive energies are plenty on the 4th!
