You‘re truly in your element this week, being able to think, tinker and delve deep into all the different aspects of your life in order to make the better, more informed decisions. You like to anticipate the unexpected, staying on your toes for all the potential outcomes, but you really don‘t like it when something happens that isn‘t in your wheelhouse of what you thought might happen. The Moon starts the week in Pisces, giving you this fantastical start to the week that isn‘t going to live up to your expectations. You‘ll find yourself sorely disappointed by the decisions you make because there‘s no such thing as expected results. You might find someone trying to undermine your efforts. The Moon moves into Aries on Wednesday, which is when all kinds of trickery breaks loose, don‘t be surprised if you have some misinformation, or if your work gets ruined and you have to start all over again. You‘ll be frustrated about it, but there‘s not much you can do but redo. The Moon becomes a new moon in Taurus on Friday, paving the way for a passionate weekend. Mercury, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn are in retrograde this week, and interesting combo that has you stuck in a lot of places in your life. Mercury has you being a person of a few words, but when you speak people better listen. Mars has you daring to be different, but you‘re not ready to present your results yet. Jupiter and Saturn are holding you back, Jupiter is saying you need more time to process, and Saturn is playing Devil‘s Advocate telling you what you‘re doing wrong.Ascendant: All work is a house of cards anyway.

If you had an apple for every time someone said they were going out for pizza or fast food, you‘d have so many apples it might resemble an apple tree. This week you don‘t know why nobody is bothering to take care of themselves, and why you have to remind people of very simple things, like showering. I know it‘s not pretty, but telling people they have to shower is the worst job on the planet, but it‘s always you getting to do these odd things nobody else wants to do. The Moon starts the week in Pisces which is probably why there‘s so much forgetfulness going on, you‘re remembering your P‘s and Q‘s, but that‘s not carrying you too far. With Mercury in Retrograde you‘re the only one who seems to know how to communicate regardless, but that‘s likely because Gemini is a great communicator. The Moon moves into Aries on Wednesday which is a welcomed temporary break from the doldrums and the hard work you‘d rather run away from. The Moon becomes a new moon in Taurus on Friday and other than infusing your weekend with some much needed passion, it‘s dragging your Friday into the land of work, work, work. Just throw some Rihanna on the iPod and you‘ll be fine. Mercury, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn are in retrograde this week, and while Mercury has no power over you, Mars is making you a little crazier than usual so expect more of your off the wall personality to shine through. Jupiter and Saturn seem to be working together to make your life as hellish as possible, forcing you to redo assignments and scrap things you really wanted to work on.Ascendant: Someone has to do the odd jobs.

It‘s like your energies are held back behind a sheet of ice this week and you‘re in massive introspection mode. Don‘t expect anyone to come poking around your turtle shell this week, and if attention is something you‘re hoping to get that‘s not going to happen. Your cloak of invisibility works wonders, and you‘ll be able to fly under the radar regardless of anything happening on the surface. The Moon starts the week in Pisces, giving you this barrier between yourself and everyone else. Expect to feel like nothing actually involves you this week, like you‘re an observer to your entire life, because you‘ll be removed from yourself, like watching yourself go through the motions. I just hope your life isn‘t like a horror movie, but more like those romantic comedies where you see the character sitting at home, doing nothing, when they could be making that romantic move, and you‘re yelling at them to go get the girl already, instead of you know, yelling at yourself not to go upstairs because that‘s where you‘ll box yourself in for the killer. The Moon moves into Aries on Wednesday, adding a bit of humor to your week. It becomes a new moon in Taurus on Friday, calming down your weekend into this private romantic cocoon. Mercury, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn are in retrograde this week, an interesting combination that has you stepping back and looking at where your strengths and weaknesses are. Saturn is making you question your capabilities, while Jupiter isn‘t giving you a lot of hope, Mars and Mercury aren‘t affecting you as much, but they are helping you look inwards.Ascendant: What kind of movie is your life?

You feel like nothing is as it seems this week, and you want to be like a detective, sleuthing out the things that are wrong, but the truths are never as exciting as you hope for them to be. That monster in the corner of your room is really just a dirty shirt on a lamp, and the scandalous thing you think your boss is doing is really just them meeting their spouse for lunch. With the Moon starting the week in Pisces your paranoia is so high, and your imagination is so vibrant that you‘re making up scenarios that don‘t exist. You‘ll need to tone it down this week because if you‘re not careful and you act out on some of those suspicions you‘ll get the backhand of your life. The moon moves into Aries on Wednesday, which is no help at all, this Aries energy only gets you more convicted that something is wrong and you‘re determined to figure out what it is. You‘re great at your day job, and if you‘re not a detective you should leave that to the people who are. There is a new moon in Taurus on Friday which will give you a new beginning and possibly a new lead on what you think is wrong in your life. Mercury, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn are in retrograde this week. Mercury is making you crazy, wanting all the details, but mixing them up. Mars has you acting too stubborn to care what others think. You seem to be ignoring Jupiter who wants you to work on your long term goals, and Saturn keeps throwing roadblocks in your way, telling you to give it a rest and give up the ghost hunt.Ascendant: But ghost hunting is so rewarding!?

You‘ve got your head on straight, so it baffles you when everyone is acting weird around you, and treating you like you‘ve grown three heads. You find your self-conscious side coming out this week as you wonder why people keep giving you these weird looks and saying even weirder things to you. You just want to get through the work week without losing an arm, is that so much to ask? The Moon starts the week in Pisces which doesn‘t touch you at all, you just breeze on past that fantastical energy the same way you rise above Mercury in retrograde and do your job the way you usually do. The moon moves into Aries on Wednesday and there‘s a lot of irritability that comes out of you, but some of you Virgos are vocal and some of you are not, so you might internalize that annoyance and try to pretend everything is fine. Only people closest to you will see the look on your face and be like, "Okay seriously, who pissed in your cornflakes?" The moon becomes a new moon in Taurus on Friday and you want peace and relaxation, you can‘t be bothered by all the love in the air, people asking you to do things for them or be there for them while they proclaim their love to another (weddings, pfft!). Mercury, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn are in retrograde this week, and you‘re most affected by Jupiter which has all your awesome solid plans feeling like they‘re in a blender. Saturn isn‘t helping much with its advice to stay put and do the safe things in life. Mars is telling you stop giving two shakes of a lamb‘s tail what others think of you and as I said earlier, you‘re unaffected by Mercury completely (lucky!)Ascendant: Weddings are overrated anyway.

You think everything is really pretty this week, and you refuse to believe there‘s anything ugly about the world. People are beautiful, the world is beautiful, there‘s even beauty in the ugliest of factories and poverty stricken urban areas. You‘re determined to prove that life in all its forms is beautiful, and nobody is going to stop you from having an optimistic outlook. The Moon starts the week in Pisces which has you a little head in the clouds, spouting on about the magic of the world and how you want to embrace the entire world and make all the fighting stop, so on and so forth. Your world view is admirable, if not fantastical, but it‘s nice to see someone choosing to believe rather than putting down everything that happens. You also feel like the world moves slower this week, allowing you to stop and notice things. That‘s all these retrogrades doing that to you. The Moon moves into Aries on Wednesday which is like noticing a piece of coal in a bed of diamonds. You might have one of those "ew!" moments like enjoying a sandwich at a bistro and bam, there‘s a hair in it. So the world isn‘t perfect after all, but its imperfections make it what it is. You won‘t lose the optimism, but your fantastical view will wane. The moon becomes a new moon in Taurus on Friday turning your focus for the weekend to the beauty of love in all its forms. Mercury, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn are in retrograde this week and all of them affect you in the same way, slowing down your mental process to allow you to see the world in a different way, like it‘s all moving in slow motion and you can zoom in and see the truth behind all the parts that make up the whole.Ascendant: It‘s good to be a positive influence.

This is all you‘ve ever wanted, this energy, the way the planets are aligned this week, if the sky could NOT move ever again you‘d have a perfect life. People think before they speak, they think before they act, they‘re more courteous to their fellow man, if they have nothing nice to say they don‘t say a damned thing at all. You don‘t have to constantly correct, criticize or scold people for their ignorant manners. It‘s actually a fantastic week for you. The Moon starts the week in Pisces making you a lot more idealistic than you usually are, so you‘re just as much in this la la land as everyone else. You like being able to believe in something and be a positive force of change. That‘s what you‘re always striving to be but most people reject change and treat it like a bad thing. The moon moves into Aries on Wednesday injecting a little modesty and humor into your world. Things might go wrong, but you‘ll laugh about it. The moon becomes a new moon in Taurus on Friday amplifying your inner wisdom. You‘ll say what you have to say to the important people in your life, but you won‘t concern yourself with the world‘s problems at large. Mercury, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn are in retrograde this week, all of which work in your favor. Mercury helps to curb the not nice things you say sometimes. Mars is your power planet and it‘s weaker in retrograde, making you step back. Jupiter and Saturn are also causing a lot of introspection, Jupiter is working on your efficiency and Saturn is reasserting your authority.Ascendant: Whoever said ignorance is bliss, obviously didn‘t understand what ignorance is.

You can‘t help but feel like you‘re participating in a contest you can‘t win. It‘s like all your goals are out of reach and even though the carrot is dangling there, every step you take towards it, extends it that much farther. You don‘t like having to work double just to be noticed like everyone else. You don‘t like being held to a higher standard than others, but that happens sometimes, and you have to pull up your socks and set an example knowing that you‘ll never be the one setting the standard for others, but you‘ll be the one doing the above average work from here moving forward. The Moon starts the week in Pisces giving you this unrealistic outlook on your goals, the bar is set so high, how will you ever hit it? You don‘t know if this is a challenge you can achieve, but you‘re willing to puzzle it out. The moon moves into Aries on Wednesday which begins your trial and error period, you‘ll give different tactics a shot and see what works and what doesn‘t. You know there‘s no one better than you but you. Think about that. The moon becomes a new moon in Taurus on Friday, and the challenges feel so huge that you can‘t possibly take a weekend to relax. The wheels will be turning, attempting to figure out how you can succeed. Mercury, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn are in retrograde this week. Saturn affects you the most with it retrograding in Sagittarius, and this is why you‘re feeling those limitations and boundaries so strongly. Jupiter wants to help you sort things out so luck can be on your side. Mars is also retrograde in Sagittarius, making you bold enough to try things even if they don‘t work out. Mercury in retrograde has you acting more than speaking because actions speak louder than words anyway.Ascendant: You‘re going to be the champion in the end.

You don‘t usually feel threatened in the work place because you‘ve spent so much time establishing yourself and being the best at what you do that when it does come up you‘re always taken by surprise. This week it‘s especially frustrating because you didn‘t do anything to suggest that you‘re not qualified for your position, but someone else is honing in on your place and it seems like they‘re doing it in a corrupted, political manner, which is to put it bluntly, unfair to you. You‘ll have to live through the deluge of bullshit that comes at you this week and hope that in the end people who know you will see you for who you are. There‘s not much more you can do but hope that the claims against you are proven unfounded. If you change the way you do things now, it‘ll only make you look guilty. The Moon starts the week in Pisces where you can be sure is where the treachery begins, this is where facts can be skewed and hidden. The moon moves into Aries on Wednesday, adding immaturity to the pile, which won‘t bode well in your favor. It becomes a new moon in Taurus on Friday, giving you a lot of things to think about over the weekend. You‘re a logical person so you‘re not going to let someone else get the best of you. Mercury, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn are in retrograde this week, all of which are forcing you to stop, look at the facts, assert yourself in the situation, and trust that the person blowing smoke will be found out, and you will have nothing to worry about in the long run (I hope, sometimes people don‘t make the best decisions!)Ascendant: Your reputation precedes you.

There‘s a huge problem with one sided conversations. You can talk all you like, but if you‘re not hearing anything in return then it feels like you‘re on a stage preaching to a crowd that‘s more interested in the cat video on their phone than the words coming out of your mouth. You realize it‘s easier to watch a cat video than to listen to what you have to say about work, life, etc. but it would be nice if even one person would listen to your wisdom this week. You didn‘t get this far in your life by watching cat videos, and you know nobody else will get anywhere if that‘s all they do too. The Moon starts the week in Pisces which clearly indicates that you‘re in a fantasy world, silently judging others and harboring animosity towards people. You want to give the benefit of the doubt, but it‘s hard when most people live up to the stereotypes that define them. The moon moves into Aries on Wednesday giving you a bit of hope, but it‘s not going to make your words stick at all. The moon becomes a new moon in Taurus on Friday and that energy slows right down again. Nobody is interested in the truth, they just want their fantasies, yourself included, except your fantasies are more tailored to include things like fantastic conversations with someone about philosophy. Mercury, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn are in retrograde this week, all of which are telling you to shut up and get off your soap box. Saturn, your planetary ruler is making it impossible for you to be heard. Jupiter wants you to rethink how you‘re getting the message out, Mars thinks you should act more than speak, and Mercury has your words all twisted up, forcing you to sound incoherent at best.Ascendant: Get off the damned soap box.

If there‘s one thing you‘re really good at, it‘s seeing a situation for the way it is, and not the way everyone else seems to think it is. You could walk up to a married couple and even if they‘re kanoodling in the corner of a food court, you could tell them they‘re sad about their finances. It‘s this inherit psychic ability of yours that makes you see through all the illusions, despite also being very good at living within your own illusions. I guess that‘s the kicker right? You see through everyone else, but rarely find someone who sees through you. So the Moon starts the week in Pisces which has you noticing people more vibrantly than you usually do. You‘ll know if your boss is having an affair, if your co-worker is back to smoking, or back with an ex, you‘ll just know what‘s going on with people without them having to tell you. And it does take away from the work you do, because you‘re a bit distracted and watching your back with certain people. The moon moves into Aries on Wednesday helping you hunker down and work instead of observing. It becomes a new moon in Taurus on Friday, which really does put the focus on romance, but you feel exhausted about it, like it‘s one of those things you have to put on and you can‘t do the romance mask you can‘t play that part, so there‘s a good chance you‘re not going to give in. Mercury, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn are in retrograde this week, forcing you to live in your own little world, with like a window to the world around you. You‘re on the outside looking in, you don‘t want to participate unless you absolutely have to, you‘re okay to hang out on the bench and watch that other guy break his leg playing football. You‘d rather it‘s not you.Ascendant: One day it will be your turn.
