Your weekly dose of astrology

Aries
Take good care of yourself this week. Chiron, the Wounded Healer, is in your sign and has some harsh aspects from other planets. The “wounding” may be physical or emotional and the real source of it is in your childhood or adolescence. Whatever occurs now seems particularly more hurtful because it is scratching at an old sore. Next week brings better vibes for you.

Taurus
You are in a very creative time now. Take your ideas seriously because they are unique and come from the core of you. Take on problems that have vexed you and look at what can be done to create practical solutions. Experiment and try out new ideas.

Gemini
You may be experiencing a limelight moment in which you are presenting a bright idea or even a finished product. Your enthusiasm will be palpable. However, it is important to plan what you want to say carefully, lest you go overboard with promises. The tendency to be impulsive is with you now.

Cancer 
The Full Moon in Pisces occurs in your ninth house of travel, higher education, the church or synagogue, legal interests and/or publishing. Full Moons bring a spotlight to the areas they cover. Being Moon ruled, your energy will increase this week.

Leo
The Sun shines brightly upon you now. You probably will be the recipient of favorable outcomes due to previously creative work. A raise in income is possible. In some way, you will have reason to be proud of yourself.

Virgo
The sun returns “home” to your sign this week. You likely will find it to be energising. Now is the time to focus on new plans for this next year of your life. Take a fresh look at where you want to direct your energy. This week there are supportive aspects from Saturn, the Teacher, and Uranus, the Awakener. It’s a fine time for a vacation.

Libra 
If there are “power” issues between you and another, this is the week that they will be in full bloom. Discomfort means that change is needed in one or both of your attitudes. Intensity is the theme. Concentrate on remaining conscious so that you won’t fall into manipulative games, especially the one called “prove it if you love me.”

Scorpio 
You may be operating under a fear that things in your life will dissolve into chaos. Your immediate reaction is to clamp a lid on anything or anyone who seems out of order. It may be absolutely necessary in your situation. However, be aware that suppressed energies will turn up later in the form of resentment.

Sagittarius
Now is a good time to research details in preparation for your next project. Travel is favored along with activities involving the internet. Perhaps you are studying a new way to publicise your business. This is a good time to develop plans for your new direction that will be ready for launch by mid-2019.

Capricorn
This is a good time to take an in-depth survey of your most important relationship. (This could also include observing yourself in relation to clientele.) Study yourself first and determine whether any harboured anger is causing you to sabotage the connection. Tackle whatever problems exist in a healthy, honest way.

Aquarius
This week brings you a grand trine of planets working in your favor. Multiple factors fall together to create blessings in your life. Any activities involving mutually shared resources will be advantageous. “Shared resources” include the partner’s income, investments, an inheritance and referrals to you for business.

Pisces
Show some caution as the week begins. Things might not be what they seem and you might need to solve a puzzle or two to get to the bottom of things. Don’t let the lack of clarity get you down though — you just need to think creatively to find your way.
