Your weekly dose of astrology

Aries
Mars, your ruling avatar, entered your ninth house on January 26 for seven weeks. You will notice a shift into a new direction. It will likely be related to contacting people at a distance, preparing to travel, seeking professional advice, or focused on education. You may spend more time on the internet than you have in the recent past. Drive within the speed limit.

Taurus
Early in the week an opportunity to expand your social life brings smiles. You may be invited to a party or you might meet someone new. This aspect is from Venus, goddess of love and creativity. The muse may be at your side as you produce a particularly creative idea or solution to a problem.

Gemini
Mercury is your ruling planet. This week it shifts into your house of exploration, travel, the internet, publishing, education and matters of the law. You probably will experience increased energy when dealing with these areas. You have a need to broaden your mind and move to a big picture perspective.

Cancer
In some way old issues related to sharing and to intimacy are surfacing. You have learned better than to react, but because we are in an eclipse season, it is a challenge to control yourself. You are more easily rattled now than most other times. Remember this so you can challenge the old sense of being vulnerable. Let the past remain in the past.

Leo
Developments with your partner may feel uncomfortable, like some old behaviours that should have been buried long ago. You may be feeling unnerved. You know better, but when anxious, you forget to continue with your more mature self. Partners can press that button along with certain people from your history.

Virgo
Your planetary ruler is moving into new territory. Take up whatever activities you need on a daily basis to promote better mental and physical health. You may feel a compulsion to clean up files or other areas of detail. It is one way of organising your mind. It is a good time to catalogue, classify, and coordinate details for your next project

Libra
You are in an optimistic and generous frame of mind. You may party a little (or a lot). The temptation is to overdo on anything that seems positive and fun. If finances are an issue, leave the credit cards at home to prevent you from making impulsive purchases. If you really want that item, it will be there tomorrow.

Scorpio
You are entering a new phase of attention, which will continue through mid-April. Issues of money and resources, or matters of personal values will be prominent as motivators. Be aware of the temptation to overly identify with things that you deem important, whether it is a material object or an idea. Do not confuse your individual identity with these things of the world.

Sagittarius
Mars, the warrior, entered your sign last week and will be traveling with you for seven weeks. This energy is especially helpful in defining our boundaries. Periodically we need to examine who we are as well as who we are not. Often something is eliminated. In general, it increases your courage and physical strength.?

Capricorn
Your commitment to self-discipline and ability to persevere will help you to build something of real value in your life over the next two years. This plan may take a long time and it cannot be accomplished overnight, so be kind to yourself and take breathers once in a while.

Aquarius
Mercury travels rapidly through your sign between March 29 and April 12. During this period there likely will be greater emphasis on communications, errands, and other short distance travels. Your mind will be quick and your attitude persuasive. One or more people from your past may get in touch.?

Pisces
Unseen help will assist and cause you to thank your lucky stars for the blessings. Your Guardian Angel helps you out of a difficult place. Spend some time focusing on your spiritual beliefs. You might be called upon to assist another toward a healing path. It is an opportunity to “pay it forward”. Don’t bypass it.
