You find yourself surrounded by chaotic energy in the week ahead; you however, somehow manage to finish a project with finesse. Mars seems to strengthen your ambitions and goals at this time, giving you additional strength and will help to give you presence and authority. You ability to remain calm during this time will have others looking to you for guidance and advise in matters concerning issues that are important to them, even though it may seem trivial to you. Keep in mind that if someone asks for you opinion, they are looking to you for your wisdom and they are in need of compassion and kindness, so remain patient with them.

You find those around you to be emotionally draining in the week ahead and feel Mars energy very directly from this. With Gemini influence, those who are not even that close to you still seek your take on issues presented, so with all of this energy surrounding you it will be easy to lose your cool. When you are presented with a problem, you will want to remain impartial and objective to the situations you are presented with in order to remain in your position of authority and fairness. It will be difficult, at times, to remain neutral because some matters could be close to your personal beliefs, but you will want to take the time to think things over before you respond, so that you can be fair in dealing with those that seek out your guidance at this time.

This is not a good week for travel due to the changing energies of Mars. Delays will take place. If you pursue this, it will also affect other areas of your life, and you will find much confusion and chaos surrounding yourself this at this time. You may be tempted to let yourself get caught up in this commotion, as there will be a lot of this type of energy around you at this time. If you remain vigilant, you can stay clear of the negativity connected with this situation. By keeping your head, you will find that you are able to stay on top of matters and you will be able to take charge of the situation. This will be a classic case of everyone wanting to lead and no one wanting to follow.

You may find yourself feeling a little extra frustrated this week due to the waning influence of the last Quarter Moon. As a result, you may also feel somewhat apathetic towards life at this time. But do not let these feelings of indifference guide you and cause you to not be thankful for the blessings you have in your life. If you are feeling low, think about the good things in your life and what you have, because there are others who would be happy to have half of what you have in your life. Sometimes it can be easy to forget about what you have when you are focused on what you want. So be cautious that you do not lose sight of the bigger picture and remain thankful for what you do have.

The influence of Mars makes communications tougher in the week ahead and you may find that you are focusing too much on things that are causing you anxiety and stress in your life. Remember that if you are moving forward, even taking baby steps, so to speak, you are making progress and that things will fall into place as they are supposed to. Try to keep a positive attitude and stay focused on making headway, even if it seems like it is going too slow. Once you realize that you are making progress, it will come easier and easier and things will lighten up for you. Focus on your progress and not your fears, and you will be happy before you realize what happened.

This will signify a time to put the stresses of the past behind you and to focus on matters that will make you happy in the future. Build and focus on the good things in your life and let them increase as the Moon will put the negative things behind you. It is a time to start taking action and to quit making plans. You have thought things over enough and now it is time to put these plans into action so that you can see the fruits of your labors taking shape. This is a time to take shape and to grow, so to speak.

With Mars entering Gemini, you find yourself noticing differences in those around you that seem to almost be opposite of the norm. This could be a difficult time for you, if you do not keep in mind that things will not be what they seem at this time. Projects will start off positively only to end in failure at this time, so you will not want to start new programs or especially relationships during this time. Initially, you will receive an affirmative answer and then things will not work out. If you keep in mind that this is not a good time to look for progress or successful endings, you will be okay if you put these matters off until a later time.

Expect the unexpected with Mars entering Gemini in the week ahead. The appearance of one from the past may surprise you this week. Even though this is someone you may well know from your past, you will want to be careful in the manner in which you approach them. This person has changed with time and is used to being treated differently than in the past. However, do not let this keep you from contacting them, as you will find if you apply diplomacy, you will be pleasantly surprised at the results. Once you have their undivided attention, you will be able to rekindle the old memories that originally brought you together in the past. This is not an opportunity you will want to miss out on.

Mars will bring forth an unexpected monetary need in the week ahead; however, you will be able to effectively deal with this obstacle, if you only try to work out matters with the person or people you have an issue with. It may surprise you to find that things will work out positively for all involved in this matter. Do not sell yourself and your abilities short, because you have much to offer and you can work something out that all will be happy with. Whether it is your ability to negotiate an acceptable outcome or your skills to make something that others want, you can find a suitable and agreeable contract for all involved.

It's a great time to start new projects in the coming week; however, with Gemini influence, it is not so wise to depend too heavily upon those around you. It is important for you to find your own abilities and skills and to use them to make your way, so to speak. It is time for you to use what you have learned or have been taught to make your career and financial future truly your own. You have all the abilities and knowledge you need to be successful on your own without the safety net of friends and family to fall back on, so to speak. It is important for you to find your own footing, so that you can gain the confidence and self assurance that you need in order to be secure on your own.

The week ahead is a quieter one for you and more relaxed with the upcoming New Moon‘s influence. It is as if you are refreshed and ready to take action. The apathy and indifference you have been feeling will no longer be a problem for you and you will soon find the inspiration you have been looking for that you may have felt you were never going to find again. You will find that you have options that you did not realize were available to you and that they were there all along. It is time to quit planning and to get things moving, so to speak. You have had enough time to think things over and now you need to trust in yourself and your abilities to get things done.

With the end of the last Quarter Moon phase this week, a struggle you have been facing finds resolution in a positive way, and you find that you are in control of your destiny, so to speak. While you have felt that things were out of your control in the past, now you will be able to take the reins once again and move things in the direction you want. This is a time to build up the positive things in your life and to focus on what you want and to keep a positive attitude. You will be able to succeed in matters that until recently you have had less than favorable results in. Be confident in yourself and your abilities.
