Sun/Uranus makes for a lively yet smooth-running go through the start of next week. Conversation, connectivity, and synchronicity are on the easy dial-up. Freshen things up, give something different a try. Unique, creative, and outside of the usual will do the trick best.

Monday’s new moon in Sagittarius begins a two-week optimizing window for the get-ahead. It also heralds the true start of the holiday inundation. Mercury’s advance into Sagittarius, starting Wednesday evening, adds a fresh wave of extras, volume, glee, and need. There’s more on the shelves, the road, and the to-do list, but that’s not all. Earlier in the day, the Capricorn moon hits the Uranus/Pluto sharp edge. Those in charge, on a deadline, or with a mission (self-appointed or sanctioned) are on a more forceful push-ahead.

While we’ve been distracted by the Senate scandal and bobblehead Rob Ford, the safety of the world has been temporarily secured. Or has it? The six-month nuclear deal with Iran was announced under a sun/Neptune alignment, and it will be completed under a sun/Neptune alignment. Between the two markers lies much that is unknown and unwritten yet. World leaders stand on a threshold that is both precarious and richly opportune. We stand at the same gateway in our private lives as well. This ultimate moment is an elongated one, but when it comes to our greater good, there’s no time to waste and much to create.

Aries
March 19 - April 19

Thursday/Friday can put more burden or expense on your plate, but where there’s a need or desire, you’ll figure out a way. The sun’s trine to Uranus serves as a confidence, creativity, and social booster. The combo can also let you off the hook. The coming two weeks move you to higher ground regarding a home, family, health, or work matter.

Taurus
April 19 - May 20

Enlist help, take advice, choose the easy way out on Thursday/Friday. Saturday through Wednesday, let it roll and design it as you go along. Monday’s new moon calls for you to do more, dig deeper, and play it smarter. Watch for a boost of motivation and creativity. The past still weighs on you, but it’s how you play it from here that counts most.

Gemini
May 20 - June 20

You’ll do more, absorb more, spend more, and accomplish more over the next few days. Although you may be stretched to the max, you’ll make the most of it. Sun/Uranus sets the stage for a great shopping, social, or do-your-own-thing weekend. Monday/Tuesday continues the good flow. Mercury in Sagittarius, starting Wednesday, puts you in an even fuller social or personal swing.

Cancer
June 20 - July 22

Over the next week, the work, client hunt, or job hunt should come along quite nicely. Sun/Uranus helps you to correct, fix, heal, find, and connect with ease. Start the new week with a fresh project, aim, or approach. Seek advice or recruit more help. It’s the right time to start a new conversation—with another or with yourself.

Leo
July 22 - August 22

Once you get past Thursday’s overload, you’re onto a smooth sail. Inspiration, rapport, entertainment, the perfect find—through the weekend, you’ll find yourself on an instant-gratification track. Monday’s new moon and Mercury’s advance into Sagittarius on Wednesday launch the full-tilt holiday countdown. Use the next week to get most of your shopping out of the way; you’ll be glad you did.

Virgo
August 22 - September 22

As of Thursday, the stars take you over a big hump. You’ll find things roll along more naturally for you now, without the added effort or angst. Monday’s new moon sets you to thinking, feeling, and planning along new lines. Mercury in Sagittarius, starting Wednesday, puts even more focus on the holidays and the shifting future. Don’t get too far ahead of yourself.

Libra
September 22 - October 22

With the midweek pileup out of the way, you’ll find yourself motoring right along and liking it, too. Sun/Uranus sets up a great weekend for whatever you choose. Then again, it/they could choose you. Saturday through Tuesday, inspiration, stimulation, and great finds are easy to come by. Wednesday delivers a switch-up, but it’s still all good.

Scorpio
October 22 - November 21

Think, say, do; wheel and deal. Your intuition and instincts serve you particularly well through the weekend. While Mercury finishes up in Scorpio, you won’t miss a thing. In fact, you’ll keep a step ahead, especially on Thursday/Friday. The weekend can be productive or fun—take your pick or do both. Your gains and wins come easily at the new week’s start.

Sagittarius
November 21 - December 21

Venus in Capricorn finds you locking it in and loving it that way. Yes, it’s the right time to sign a contract, undertake a more substantial financial commitment, make your relationship official, or build a family. You are on top of your game through Monday, but it doesn’t stop there. The new week boosts you with even more fresh fuel.

Capricorn
December 21 - January 20

A big week now comes to a close, but it isn’t time to hit the Stop button; crank things up instead. The weekend is ideal for connecting and getting things done on your own. Monday continues the easy all-access pass. Follow instincts, mood, and the day’s good lead. Wednesday, you could be short on patience.

Aquarius
January 20 - February 18

Now through mid next week, it’s as if all you have to do is conjure it up or think of them, and voilà. Synchronicity delivers. Highlighted by the sun on Saturday and Monday’s new moon, Uranus turns you into a good-idea factory and keeps you scoring in the right place at the right time. On Wednesday, pressure builds.

Pisces
February 18 - March 19

Diving into something new? You’ll find it moves along well for you. If you haven’t found it yet, you could stumble upon it anytime now. Sun/Uranus and Monday’s new moon put plenty of fresh opportunity in your path. Expected, ready, or not: by mid next week, you’ll switch onto the next track.
