Aries The Ram: (March 20-April 19)
You may have one or more episodes of sudden anger during this period. Sometimes the proper application of anger is appropriate, but not for you, not this week. Attacks on others will likely be way more troublesome than the outcome is worth.
For All Signs: Venus, goddess of love to the ancients, has been retrograding since early March. On April 17, she will go direct, representing a shift toward the better in relationships with restoration to order (if indeed, relationships can ever be considered “orderly”). During Venus’ internalizing period of the last several weeks, we were pressed to encounter our personal behavior and relationship values. Now we shift our attention back to the present, hopefully with deeper insight into our motivations. Though the goddess is now direct, the impact of the whole cycle will not be apparent until May 19 when she returns to the place where the retrograde motion began.
Taurus: Give the lead paragraph particular attention because Venus is your ruling planet. Your concentration is particularly good early in the week and through most of the weekend. Don’t procrastinate. By Sunday afternoon you will be ready to rest.
Gemini: Your mind is thoroughly busy this week. Circumstances are troubling concerning your partner or work environment. Meanwhile your ability to concentrate upon personal projects that require management of details is strong.
Cancer: The center of activity during this week will begin on the weekend, which is loaded with activities, a few of which may be intense. From the 19th you will be dealing with emotional or physical healing. This may be your own or that of someone else.
Leo: Enjoy yourself through the weekend. You and another may drift through this time together, tasting this and sampling that. Or those more introverted will enjoy time to read, watch movies, and/or simply rest. Monday and Tuesday bring more focus on career or life direction.
Virgo: Thoughts concerning intimacy, shared resources, debt or investments could lead to obsessive thinking this week. It is probably best not to go in those directions. On the other hand, if you focus your mind on a mentally challenging project that can have an identifiable outcome, things will move smoothly.
Libra: You have been looking for ways to recover from an emotional wound dealt during the winter. You have thought about this issue from a variety of different perspectives. You are coming to a turning point, one in which you feel more at peace over the matter.
Scorpio: An episode of anger with a lover or with a child might cause an accidental injury. You need a break from each other, but it doesn’t need to be materialized in this way. Suspend the routine, mundane world and do something fun and different.
Sagittarius: This week there are no new aspects for the Archers. Therefore it is a time to continue on with your normal routine and finish open projects. You may have extra time for rest and reflection now. This won’t last long. Your mind is always focused on the future.
Capricorn: This is an excellent time to pursue any activity that requires your mental concentration. Contracts and written communications have go signals. Circumstances concerning the Internet or people at a distance are favored. Follow the flow and avoid the temptation to force conclusions or make things happen.
Aquarius: You are healing an old wound or injury from a very deep level. At this point you could encounter a buried anger that opens like Pandora’s box. Give the dust a few days to settle.
Pisces: This week may bring a storm of anger to the surface of the normally placid and flowing Fish. However, think carefully before you blast others. Do you have the proper target, or are you using a general shotgun approach?
