You‘ve got that get up and go attitude that people haven‘t seen since the 40‘s, ready to do everything short of organizing a morning flash mob on your way to work. You are sick of living in the shadows, of being careful, cautious, of feeling stifled and gagged. You want to be able to speak your mind without someone calling you on your bullshit, you‘d rather negotiate your way to the top, be better than everyone else at the job, go home to the best person on the planet and pretend you have a happy life. The truth is you have a mediocre life, and you make it seem grand by being excited about the smaller successes. The job interviews you‘re going to get, the resume you‘ll build, the people you‘ll meet, the money you‘ll save for the vacations you‘ll go on, and so on and so forth. The truth is you work day in and day out hoping someone notices that you‘re awesome. You hope for an interesting conversation lest boredom take over and you take being interesting into your own hands. That‘s not always a good thing when you make life interesting, sometimes the people around you get hurt. On the 5th Mercury moves into Pisces and Mars moves into Sagittarius which spices up your weekend. It‘s like you know an emotional dam is about to burst, so all week you‘re waiting in anticipation and when the weekend comes, there it is, making you wish you had worn better socks. Ascendant: Sometimes you don‘t have time for socks.

You really need a pair of those colorful cat ear headphones and a sign on your door or an answering machine message that covers all kind of small talk anyone could possibly have with you, so that instead of having to go through with the small talk you can remain focused on the projects at hand. It‘s not that you‘re not a great conversationalist but this week you‘re dealing with the last of that Mercury in Aquarius energy that tells you to detach from the world and be logical about your decisions. You want to feel passionate and alive, but it‘s impossible when you‘ve got work begging to be done, and people are mostly ignoramuses who don‘t know how to mind their own business so they‘re up in yours wondering what you like to have for dinner. If you even have dinner, it‘ll be something deliciously fantastic and it‘s going to remain a secret. By Wednesday you‘re already anticipating the weekend, knowing it can‘t arrive fast enough because if you have to endure one more awful coworker you‘re going to implode. It‘s great when you can book a fancy lunch with a good friend and write it off as a business expense though isn‘t it? On the 5th Mercury moves into Pisces and Mars moves into Sagittarius which is like a bolt of lightning to your heart. Pisces has you ripping off clothes and pouring water down your chest (or maybe that was just a music video I was watching) whereas Mars in Sagittarius has you daring to take risks. At least your weekend becomes inspiring, helping you move forward to bigger and better things.Ascendant: 404 Error, this Taurus cannot be found.

You know how bad things come in threes? Not the best way to start off the month but your week consists of one bad thing after another, from not having the right paperwork filled out the right way, to arguments with relatives and co-workers, to bad luck with transportation, and basically nothing going your way at all because sometimes it just doesn‘t. Mercury in Aquarius has been kicking your ass, making you more intellectual but also making you put your foot in your mouth so much you think it lives there. Mars in Scorpio has you refusing to waste your time on things that don‘t immediately make you happy, so you‘ve been abrasive at best, this week being no exception to that rule. Sometimes you‘re not about trying, sometimes you say it the way it is rather than the way other people want to hear it, sometimes you don‘t do what people expect from you because you don‘t like being predictable. You want to surprise and piss off some of the people around you, but you don‘t want to lose those people you just don‘t want to fit into the cookie cutter mold they‘ve created for you. You want to break the mold and be something different. On the 5th Mercury moves into Pisces and Mars moves into Sagittarius, which is likely why you‘ve had a terrible week. Mercury in Pisces wants you to let love in, while Mars in Sagittarius wants you to embrace those risks. Ascendant: Don‘t be like anyone else, be you.

Say what people want to hear, do what people want you to do, be what everyone wants you to be, this week you‘re the proverbial puppet, letting everyone else boss your around, put you on their leashes, and lead you like you‘re a stray puppy. The issue isn‘t the sub ordinance, you‘re actually better when you‘re taking orders from the boss. The trouble comes when you‘re trying to please too many people and you‘re forgetting about yourself. Mercury in Aquarius is bowling you over, making you more generous and observant than usual, but some of those observations are going to help you with your future endeavors because the greatest thing about seeing people other people don‘t see is that they also don‘t remember it, but you do. Eye witnesses are always the most dangerous, right under the quiet ones who don‘t say much but you know are absolutely deadly on the inside. You‘ll be shelving things you see and hear this week for later leverage should you ever really need it. That‘s what you get for being more analytical and calculating when you need to be. It often shocks people when the truths are revealed. On the 5th Mercury moves into Pisces and Mars moves into Sagittarius turning your weekend into a sob fest of epic proportions. You like being in control of yourself to some degree and you hate having to sacrifice part of your identity to work the job that pays your bills. It‘s a vicious cycle of wishing you were something you‘re not and subsequently being something you don‘t want to be.Ascendant: You can‘t always get what you want.

This may very well be the more boring week in the history of what can happen in seven days. It‘s not that you‘re trying to be a fuddy duddy, but you want to sleep, eat when your body demands it, and if you have the opportunity, lie on a beach and get a really wicked tan. So you‘re not accomplishing all those big goals and dreams you have, but you‘re busy taking care of you, maybe a touch of the flu hit you or some awful head cold, or you‘re just at work going through the motions without a whole lot of passion behind what you do. The problem is that you don‘t respond to stress very well so you try to lower your stress and that turns you into an emotionless vampire that nobody can get through to, that doesn‘t do anything fun and can‘t be convinced to flick the emotion switch back on. Sure, you might go on a bender when you‘re not as connected to your emotions and relying solely on your brain to tell you how to live your life, but that‘s what Mercury in Aquarius does to you, makes you a little bit like Betty White before she‘s had a Snickers. Your week would be more interesting if only you‘d get yourself some Snickers. On the 5th Mercury moves into Pisces and Mars moves into Sagittarius which is going to hurt because after being emotionally devoid for weeks, Pisces flips that switch and the dam breaks, letting you feel things again, things you don‘t want to feel, things you wish you could stop feeling, things you wish you could feel more like a balloon slowly losing air than all at once when it pops.Ascendant: Eat a snickers, you‘re a bit like Betty White when you‘re hungry.

You feel a little like that Mikey kid from the commercials, give it to Mikey, he‘ll eat anything. In this case people seem to think you‘ll do anything, mostly because you‘re good at everything, literally absolutely everything and because when nobody else pulls their weight and gets things done, there you are jumping in to save the day. It‘s this clean freak matriculate quality about you that makes people like you so much, but it‘s also that same quality that makes people feel intimidated by your presence. I know it‘s wild huh? On the one hand people love that you‘ll clean up their stupid messes, but the fact that you keep things so clean intimidates them because what is this person who adults better than everyone else? If you‘re also wondering when you get to do more than fetch coffee and clean carpet stains, the answer is after this weekend. It probably means the kitchen is going to remain messy but that‘s because amidst the actual work you were hired for and are qualified to do, you ain‘t got no time for the dishes. Sadly enough, neither does anyone else, this is why you need interns, where ever you are, you need an intern or a clone so that the house can stay clean and you can stay young and work on your legacy without letting your hands get dirty. On the 5th Mercury moves into Pisces and Mars moves into Sagittarius turning your weekend into one of the best ones you‘ve had in a long time. Mars in Sagittarius kicks up your attitude a notch helping you come out of that shell, as a result you‘re dashing and charismatic, something that draws people to your enigmatic personality. Not too shabby, Watson, not too shabby.Ascendant: Sometimes you have to clean up the shit other people left behind.

Sometimes you wish you could be like everyone else, invisible, normal, not someone people take example from, but that‘s just not your life. Instead you‘re finding that you have to be better than everyone around you, but only because people are expecting you to be better than them. That has some serious undertones of something that could become a huge problem in your life depending on who‘s putting you on this pedestal and how high the pressure is to stay on said pedestal, not to mention the consequences when you show even the tiniest hint of being human. So that has you frazzled this week because the things that you‘re expected to accomplish is far different from what others around you are expected to accomplish, both in the work situation and at home, some of you have the family pressure thing going for you, where others have your boss breathing down your neck. For those Libras working for themselves, you can‘t always please every client you meet, right? You might be singing the "it‘s not right, it‘s not fair" chorus a few times, but let‘s face it, you‘re preaching to the choir and you‘re going to live up to those expectations one way or another. On the 5th Mercury moves into Pisces and Mars moves into Sagittarius which is going to help you find creative ways to satisfy the people in your life. The weekend is hyper focused on family obligations, which is fine because you‘ll handle it like a boss.Ascendant: Sometimes it‘s like the Libra paparazzi attack.

You might be the only person you know taking note of the leap year, but it‘s a big deal in your opinion! Another four years to reflect upon the failures and successes of yourself and the world at whole, another four years to think about what the next four years will bring, and another four years in which we gain more time in the form of an additional twenty-four hours. You may not be a time lord, but having an extra day is always appreciated. You just wish it wasn‘t a Monday, because essentially if you could have more days in your life, Mondays wouldn‘t be your first choice. You‘re more of a Thursday person, and if you haven‘t guessed already, you‘re in analyze-all-the-weird-things mode this week, so if you‘re getting weird stares because you blurted out some random observation at the check-out in the grocery store, yeah, I‘m not surprised. By Thursday you‘ll be ready to take this Mercury in Aquarius thing and throw it out the window, it‘s making you a little loopy, and it‘s oscillating between incredibly deep and depressing philosophies about humankind and light airy off the wall philosophies about the biodegradable nature of toothpaste. Really, there‘s no topic that is off limits. On the 5th Mercury moves into Pisces and Mars moves into Sagittarius, and away from Scorpio, which actually gives you daring wit and emotional frailty. Be prepared to have a hide-from-the-world Sunday, but also catch up on what you‘ve got on the PVR. Ascendant: Limits? What are those?

You‘ll get work done, you really will, after that hot person at work walks away and your heart stops fluttering and you can just come down from all the jittery love sparks hitting your sacral chakra. You don‘t mean to be a love sick puppy and really you don‘t mean to let yourself get lost in the idea of love, but not the actuality of love, but you can‘t help yourself. This Mercury in Aquarius energy all week is basically screaming at you to think before you rip your clothes off, but then Mars in Scorpio is like go for it, just don‘t waste your time if all it‘s going to be is a one night thing. I also feel like saying but it's a school night, or a work night, but for some of you that really won‘t matter because as long as you make it to work at the agreed upon time, how much sleep you got, whose bed you slept in, these are just details, useless, insignificant details. You can always quickly go home, brush your teeth and find a change of clothes, it won‘t be awful. On the 5th Mercury moves into Pisces and Mars moves into Sagittarius, and that‘s where your whole let it be a fun thing goes right out the window. Pisces is going to have you feeling so emotionally lovey dovey you won‘t know what to do with yourself and Mars in Sagittarius your sun sign is basically saying well you‘ve taken this many risks, why stop here? You might find yourself on a doorstep with a mushy heart in your hands that someone else is going to crush because too much too soon syndrome you know?Ascendant: That wasn‘t an entertaining walk of shame.

You know when you have a big deadline coming up you try so hard to cram it all in, working extra hours, making sure you‘re not leaving out a single detail, but also racing against the clock? Welcome to your work week where you seem to know intuitively that if you don‘t get things done now, you won‘t have a lot of time next week to do those things, so you better just do it while it‘s fresh in your mind and right in front of you. That‘s all Mercury in Aquarius forcing you to be more conscientious and work oriented. Eventually Mercury is going to shift and you‘ll have to shift with it, which isn‘t always easy for you as it resembles trying to teach a dog new tricks. You‘re more like those basset hounds that lay there while a new little puppy bites, scratches, pulls your tail, and pinches your skin, but you just let it happen because you don‘t have the time to play with him. You‘re doing very important things in that catatonic state, there‘s some wheels turning and some serious thoughts happening, you cannot be bothered by people who just want your cuddles. On the 5th Mercury moves into Pisces and Mars moves into Sagittarius which is when you feel like the world is ending. You‘re not great with emotion to begin with, but add Pisces to the mix and you‘re having trouble not going straight back to work and locking yourself in for six months. Sagittarius has this funny effect on you though, and makes you say things you wouldn‘t normally say (sometimes while under the influence of alcohol) so maybe a little isolation won‘t hurt.Ascendant: Calm before the storm.

You‘re having one of those weeks where all you want to do is argue with yourself and in some ways be your own devil‘s advocate. So yes in some parts of the world it‘s spring, (or fall) and it‘s a beautiful day, if you wear a jacket you could go for a nice walk without having to hunch your shoulders up or shudder when a cold wind stings your face. The benefits of being outside are also proven to provide a lot of health benefits, so it‘s good for you to be outside. On the other hand, going outside means leaving work, and walking means walking away from work, and enjoying the sites around town and shopping isn‘t going to help your chances at sustaining gainful employment. You may realize that the blocked, thick feeling you have is a dead giveaway that you‘re doing something you shouldn‘t be doing with your life. This might have nothing to do with work, it might be more about your personal relationships and how you view your role in that partnership. If it is work related, same thing, you don‘t know if this is the company you belong with. You want to give them a chance but at the same time you need to protect yourself. You can‘t do anything unless you‘re feeling inspired and when you don‘t feel that way, you detach completely, in search or hopes of finding somewhere that will feel like home to you. On the 5th Mercury moves into Pisces and Mars moves into Sagittarius which is like this dam breaking, water pouring out and if you thought you‘d just zombie your way through the stress, hahaha, no. You‘ll probably cry this weekend, a good, deep ugly cry that will bring to the forefront the thing that‘s really wrong, and Mars in Sagittarius will help you deal with whatever it is. No judgment. Ascendant: Can you really afford to quit?

You keep feeling all these little zings and bursts of excitement throughout the week that some part of you wonders if there isn‘t a bigger problem going on here. You‘re used to your usual Piscean oddballness, but in this case you‘re unsure why the bursts of excitement, why you open up more to the people at work, and why you randomly feel the need to hug strangers, or tell someone to have a good day when normally you‘d just STFU and hide out in your favorite book. In this case you feel the need to connect to people, to reach out, to adjust your outlook on the world at large and to focus only on the positives. You want to say something big is coming, you want to say you feel change in the air, but at the same time you‘re a little nervous about what it will all mean when it arrives and whether that will be a happier thing or something that‘s going to shove you into depression. What you really hope for is that things going on in the reality side of your life, match up and it becomes some trip to the Bahamas, all expenses paid, that isn‘t some hoax. On the 5th Mercury moves into Pisces and Mars moves into Sagittarius which is what you were feeling all week. Mercury in Pisces has you feeling like a kid in a candy store, unraveling your emotions, but also leaving your lego all over the floor and not even caring to clean up after yourself. Mars is an enabler, who just wants you to make a bigger mess, so really, you might consider leaving before someone calls security. Maybe that was too much crazy for one day.Ascendant: The anticipation is killing you, but only figuratively.
