April 26 to May 3
Aries
You need a lot of personal freedom, especially at work. It helps to focus on networking as much as possible. If you can book in meetings and power lunches outside of work, you’ll be in a fresher head space. Move your office furniture around, mix things up a bit. It is very important that you arrive on time however, and that you pay attention to details. This is especially true if you are a manager. If you keep on changing your mind about priorities, your team will run ragged without accomplishing much at all. Professionally, you are in the lead; however, it’s better to review your strategy than move forward. Mercury is still in retrograde and that could mess up your game plan. By the end of the week, you discover the fine art of pubic speaking. Share your thoughts with the rest of us; we need a little bit of inspiration. Love in the office heats up, and for you, it offers potential for advancement, this love could be a good friendship though. Keep the fires burning, by reinforcing a positive connection.
Taurus
This week, you’ll be a very restless creature, Taurus, snorting and pawing away at the ground, ready to charge. It must be spring time again, and you know it’s time to move on to better things. Thanks to your creative sense of order, you’re able to meet up with the innovators at work and develop a solid game plan. Perhaps you’ll be there to help out the rest of us who are lost and confused. Chaos and order become your bedfellows, keeping things fresh and clear. Hold on to a vision- something radical and different, something that inspires everyone around you. Mix a sense of spirituality with ambition. Have faith that the universe shows you the way. Even though you’re moving backwards, you are going places. Review the “old way” of doing things, there may be some excellent ideas for you to work with: great plans that have been lost over time. People are charmed by your ability to communicate effectively, find a solid strategy that enhances your self-esteem, and believe in your power to accomplish the impossible.
Gemini
You’re wearing so many hats at work it’s easy to forget what you’re supposed to be doing in the first place. When your boss uses a baseball analogy, but fails to draw up a game plan that makes sense, it leaves you running around the bases like a chicken with its head cut off. It helps to step back and develop a solid sense of order in order to come to terms with the chaos. Perhaps, you’ll need to start work early in order to deal with all the little responsibilities that cry out for your attention. Everyone else is lost in this Mercury retrograde chaos so it becomes frustrating when you’re receiving mixed messages. The solution is to focus on quality rather than quantity. Take your time to evaluate your situation, and then pick up a great opportunity. Sometimes this means that it’s wise to step back and find a better perspective. Reflect and try to cut through the weeds in order to find a path through the jungle of misinformation. Your charm helps you deal with just about anything that comes your way, let your actions speak up for you, especially when you are dealing with powerful people who control your monetary situation.
Cancer
Of all the signs ready to handle the bedlam of this week, you’re the best equipped to ride the stormy sea of chaos verses order. The more you communicate with others around you the better things get. In the Tarot, the sign Cancer is represented by the Chariot card, which depicts a charioteer guiding two opposing forces forward in a powerful manner. How do you do this? My theory is that you are persistent and resilient enough to make it happen. You also have powerful friends in high places, and this helps you as well, especially if you need to accomplish something complicated. You are not alone, other people are playing on your team and they want to make a difference. A secret love, of what you do best, guides you towards a perfect understanding, where you start to discover the motivation you need to get what you want. That powerful best friend is there to make sure this happens, so don’t do it alone, ask for help when you need it.
Leo
That internal restlessness runs deep, Leo, especially when it comes to your sense of money. You want to break free from your situation, but it could be that your debts or monetary obligations tie you down. Like the god Prometheus, you keep on rolling that big bolder up the same hill, and I’m sure you wonder when this same old song and dance routine will change. A best friend, who’s a visionary, helps you come to terms with this restlessness inside of you. Yes, you still need to work hard in order to accomplish what you need to do, but at least this time you have a better idea of what you would like to focus on. Career wise, you long for that happy past, the one you cannot return to at this point. Perhaps, you’ve taken on a job that is below your credentials in order to make ends meet. Learn what you can from your situation, because better times are ahead. Associates are there to help you out, they offer you good and powerful advice that ignites your sense of purpose, and at least you know you’re not alone- other people feel the same way that you do.
Virgo
Much like the dogs in the movie “Up” you’re distracted by small things that mess up your sense of order. You’ll be moving along nicely, doing your own thing and suddenly all your attention will focus on something random. That elusive “squirrel” messes you up once more. Maybe, you need to focus on the random and forget the order. Find the squirrel and deal with the squirrel first so that you can finally rest and pay attention to the other things. This won’t be easy I know, because you naturally gravitate towards clarity. Blame it on Uranus, that planet is sparking up again, sending lighting bolds of irrationality into your best laid plans. Neptune in your sixth house sooths you with its New Age point of view. Mediation, massage therapy, and embracing the beauty of pure individuality help you feel better about your place in the universe. Take your time, and you’ll find your way. Networking with coworkers helps too, mostly because you’ll discover hidden motivation that inspires you to deal with tough internal issues.
Libra
You’ve got some heavy karmic stuff resting just behind your field of perception. Kind of like a monster in your closet, you know it’s there, but it is very hard to see it. This monster could be of your own doing, or it could be something totally unrelated to what you’ve done. The universe is trying to teach you an important lesson, so I advice that you find the courage needed to open the door to your subconscious and clean out the clutter. A family member offers you excellent money advice, but it could be a pill that is not easy to swallow. What helps you in the end is to remember to look at your situation from a different perspective. Change is very good for your Libra soul; you need it in order to evolve. Friends remind you that moving on to higher ground may be the answer that you seek, especially if you are feeling trapped. Let the bird out of the cage.
Scorpio
Most insane people think they are right and that everyone else is crazy. I guess, it all lies in your sense of perspective. Certainly, you’ll be dealing with a lot of crazy people this week, thanks to the opposition between electrically erratic Uranus and hard-working and lonely Saturn in Virgo. I say, do whatever makes you happy in the end. Forget about making everyone happy, especially the crazy makers in your life, it won’t happen. A very sane and calm friend is there to soothe you; they believe in common sense, something that’s not very common at all. A lover throws you some extra cash to play with; you have the potential to use it to help you develop your career. Speak your mind, and let them know that they are making a good investment in the long run.
Sagittarius
This week’s chaos verses order is brought to you thanks to crazy relatives and delicate work projects that need 100 percent of all your attention. Expect a phone call from someone who’s a bit of an egomaniac who expects you to drop everything right away to help you save their day. No, you don’t have to save them again. Yes, you like the idea of being a knight in shining armour, however you have to ask yourself is the dude, or lady truly in distress? Can they help themselves? If the answer is yes, well just leave them the tools to help themselves and walk away. They may not like you at that moment, but if they are smart, they’ll appreciate you in the long run. Learn to draw the line. By the end of the week, good old cupid has his passionate arrows shooting directly towards your heart, if you are not in love now, you will be, watch out!
Capricorn
Did you really say that? This week the strangest things come out of your mouth. You’ll wonder where your internal filter has gone. However, it may not be a bad thing, sometimes the direct truth is what needs to be heard. People will appreciate your honestly. You have a vision, a desire that calls to you, much like a mermaid calling out to sailors in a stormy sea. Come to terms with this dream- is it really what you want, or are you sailing directly to the reef of self-destruction by chasing something unattainable. Learn to hold on to a contingency plan, one that you can turn towards, if the first idea doesn’t work out. Financially, it’s a good idea to put some extra money into a nest egg- so you’ll have something to help you out when times get tough.
Aquarius
Oh those evil credit cards! How they tempt you to spend money in the craziest of places. You don’t know what you want, and sometimes other people are more than happy to convince you that you need something, something that you truly don’t need. Beware of late night shopping channels– that item that is supposed to solve all your life’s problems may not be as reliable as it claims to be. A very practical relative lets you know what’s good and what’s bad. They speak simply, and they get right to the point. You may not like what they have to say, but they make sense. A secret escape with a lover is what the doctor ordered, after all this storm and stress, plan to hide out on an island of bliss, far away from the madness of day to day living.
Pisces
You’re absolutely brilliant, unusual, different, sparkly, and rebellious. However, there is always a Virgo out there that will rain on your parade. They’ll remind you of obligations that you need to fulfill and promises that you’ll have to keep. Oh those enemies of yours, those people that reflect your shadow-self back to you. How they frustrate you! It helps to develop a strong sense of integrity and tolerance. The Dali Lama twittered the following: “To be aware of a single shortcoming within oneself is more useful than to be aware of a thousand in someone else.” I want you to meditate on this Pisces. As I write this, I’m thinking about the fact that I may be the Virgo (I have a lot of planets in Virgo) influence raining on your parade. If this is so, I humbly apologize and step back to reflect on my own shortcomings instead. Home is your happy place this week, invite lots of friends over, ones that encourage you to develop a healthy sense of self-esteem. Once you weed your garden, you’ll be ready to plant the seeds for success.
