The stars finish the week on a brisk and upbeat track. Thursday’s Leo moon is up for the count. Boosted by Venus, Uranus, and Mars, the money is rolling; the action and entertainment keep the spark well lit. Keeping busy with work, personal matters, or a top-it-up with friends or lovers, Friday/Saturday takes care of business very well.

Over this past week, we have cashed in with Venus and the sun in Gemini. This duo has been overseeing significant endings, transitions, announcements, and news. If you feel a sense of something greater under way, know sun/Venus is also now developing new creative content for the karmic storyboard.

After nine long weeks in Taurus, Mercury is finally moving on. Late Sunday afternoon, Mercury treks into Gemini, its home sign. Gemini spotlights commerce, media, communications, and transportation, also key people and key events. Following up on Venus/sun, Mercury will input with its own anecdotes and footnotes. The trendsetter planet will spend only two-plus weeks in circulation before it turns its attention toward family and home-turf matters.

On Monday, Neptune in Pisces begins its annual five-month retrograde cycle. It is generally a subtle influence, but its potency is not to be underestimated. Along with the rest of the stellar troupe, Neptune retrograde acts like a homing device. It sources directly from the potentials that now teem with life, that are ripe and ready to be accessed. It is up to each one of us to make the most of it. Tuesday through Thursday are especially opportune for doing just that.

Aries
March 20 - April 20

Motivation is in good shape Thursday. Mercury/Mars keeps you especially sharp, well focused, and able to plow through any argument, resistance, or challenge. Thursday/Friday, give it your all; take a full dive. Friday/Saturday keeps you busy, productively so. Mercury into Gemini, starting Sunday, will stimulate more social and physical activity. Watch for fresh ideas, new trends and avenues. Monday/Tuesday, stay creative; go by feel.

Taurus
April 20 - May 21

Want to know where you stand? Feel challenged to stand your ground? By all means, speak up. An air-clearing will feel good. What surfaces or is let out in the open will do right by all. Through Saturday, the stars keep you well on task and well on the gain. Sunday through Thursday, stay accommodating and creative; go with spontaneous choices.

Gemini
May 21 - June 21

Thursday’s start may call for an extra push or a pep talk (with another or yourself), but once you are up and rolling, the day sides with you. Friday/Saturday keeps you well on the go. You should feel a fresh energy boost once Mercury finally treks into Gemini. Monday, you could meander or drift. Tuesday through Thursday, follow intuition. Feel it; do it.

Cancer
June 21 - July 22

Thursday’s start can remove a block and/or jump-start you. If frustration builds, try counting to 10 first. You can get past it quickly. As the day progresses, it could reward you. Friday/Saturday, do yourself good; get exercise. Clear it away; clean it up. Sunday through Tuesday, allow extra time to ease into it and to feel your way along. Wednesday/Thursday, make money or love.

Leo
July 22 - August 23

Thursday has you going strong and hitting it spot on. By all means, when the opportunity arises get straight to the point; don’t beat around the bush. Friday/Saturday calls for a top-up on the good-for-you stuff. Sunday evening you may feel somewhat restless. Company or a chat revives you. Tuesday is better than Monday for socializing, a date, or creative endeavours.

Virgo
August 23 - September 23

As of Thursday’s start, you’re over the hump and onto something fresh. News, a meeting, or a result can thrust the action switch. Friday/Saturday, you’re in your element. Mercury in Taurus has kept you persevering; now Mercury in Gemini will give you a fresh or second chance. Although Monday could be something of a wash, you’ll now start making better inroads.

Libra
September 23 - October 23

To start, there could be money to spend, a price to pay, or something to get through on Thursday, but it’s looking good from there. Friday/Saturday, aim for healthy choices. Sunday/Monday, ease your way along; go with the flow. Tuesday, you’re onto something fresh. Along with the sun and Venus, Mercury into Gemini boosts social, romantic, and financial prospects.

Scorpio
October 23 - November 22

Thursday could start with a schedule or relationship conflict, but with added patience and creativity it can be easily and quickly resolved. Too, you could uncover or discover something useful or lucrative. Monday, ease up on the throttle and allow the day to design itself. Mercury into Gemini puts added emphasis on finances (insurance claims, credit cards, et cetera) and intimate relationships.

Sagittarius
November 22 - December 21

Thursday/Friday can provide a jump-start, head start, or breakthrough. No matter how the flint is struck, it sets you on a positive move-along. Saturday is a productive day to tend to it. Practical and reasonable is the right play. Mercury into Gemini is also good for a fresh-page boost, but you may not be up to a full recharge until Tuesday.

Capricorn
December 21 - January 20

You could have a significant change of mind or heart. Do what you feel is best for you. While a negotiation or compromise can be fruitful, it isn’t a time to sit on the fence or to make a needless sacrifice. It has to result in something you feel pleased with or can work with comfortably.

Aquarius
January 20 - February 18

Take aim first thing and gain almost instant results Thursday. From there, you’re on to the fun part. Saturday, a little goes a long way. While you could spend less, don’t hesitate to spend more to get more. There’s a difference between practical and pleasing. Sunday/Monday, ease your way along. Tuesday is a busy one: it’s one thing after another.

Pisces
February 18 - March 20

The work, talk, or solve-it can go better than anticipated on Thursday. Your success ratio is up; results are pleasing. Friday/Saturday keeps you on the go and on the gains, too. Sunday/Monday, relax, ease into it. Tuesday can sidetrack you, but it’s all good. Tuesday/Wednesday, creativity and sway are in ample supply: cash in; get your sexy on.
