For All Signs
Venus (women) and Mars (men) are constantly dancing about each other, weaving in and out of favorable and challenging aspects. The current cycle began in May 2002, when they joined in Gemini. In early June 2003, the pair met in challenge (or combat, depending upon your situation). That was a point in which good relationships were tweaked a bit and poor relationships may have foundered. Now they meet in a state of grace, which means our relationships should be humming happy tunes for a couple of weeks.
Aries
Early in the week you have particularly favorable influences concerning home, hearth and family. You may be making improvements in the appearance of your property or environment. A gift or token of love is shared between you and a family member.
Taurus
This is a particularly favorable week for communications and/or education in any form. Your thoughts flow freely and your delivery is persuasive. Venus is your ruling planet and brings you favorable social encounters this week.
Gemini
This week brings focus to your resources, which includes time, energy, and money. You may be thinking about how to become more efficient with any or all of these factors. For the few days following the weekend, you may feel as though your wings have been clipped.
Cancer
This is a week for finishing touches on paperwork and other communications projects that have been on your plate for awhile. You may also be communicating with your partner about plans and goals for the future, but you may not have enough data to make definite decisions at this point.
Leo
The daily routine may be a total zoo this week. Do your best to save time for yourself. You need the space to reflect, to take care of you, to ponder your long-term future. This is not a good week to take initiatives. Stay in the background or you may be unfairly blamed for trouble.
Virgo
You may be feeling particularly responsible to ensure that activities planned among your friends or in your community go smoothly. You are a natural leader when it comes to keeping track of details and bird-dogging those who may lag.
Libra
The whole world seems to be smiling upon you this week. Your public loves you, the boss loves you, your partner loves you. This adoration may result in increased opportunity to make money. Emphasize your exercise and diet regimen and you will have especially favorable results.
Scorpio
This is an interesting week with clear stop and go signals. The financial picture is challenged by authority figures and you may feel you are working hard for little compensation. On the other hand, travel, romance, and play are given the green light.
Sagittarius
You are feeling significant pressure to do something about debt, whether it is to pay it off, or to claim payment owed to you from another. If you have scheduled travel this week, give yourself extra time to make all connections.
Capricorn
The full moon is in your sign on the 13th. This is a time in which you and another will be evaluating the state of your relationship and deciding upon necessary tweaks. If the relationship is not strong at core, you may decide it is better not to continue.
Aquarius
Your nose is to the grindstone this week with a major project involving communications. Meanwhile there are complications and interference arising from the sectors of co-workers and partners. It’s not the best of all weeks, but it passes quickly.
Pisces
Plan something special with a lover early this week approaching and including the weekend. Aspects favor romance and great fun. On the 14th, it’s back to work with a thud. You may experience interference from all sorts of directions as the new week begins, but it is temporary.
