The thrilling weekend finally comes to an end and a busy week is ahead so let’s see what stars have stored in for you in Your weekly Astro prediction by the World renowned Astro writer Joanne Madeline Moore
Horoscope (March 27, 2017- April 2, 2017)
ARIES [March 21-April 20]
There’s a New Moon in your sign so it’s the best week of the year to set intentions, hatch ideas and take steps to initiate bold new projects. But with Jupiter squaring Pluto [and no less than five planets in fiery Aries] don’t get carried away; promise the Moon [and the stars]; and then fail to follow through. Especially with work colleagues and loved ones. So your motto for the moment is from fellow Aries, movie legend Charlie Chaplin “Imagination means nothing without doing.”
TAURUS [April 21-May 21]
Are you stubbornly holding onto outdated ideas? Are you obstinately sticking to old ways of working, as if you’re on auto-pilot? It’s time to put aside pre-conceived notions and examine your beliefs in a philosophical new light. Mercury moves into Taurus on Friday, which will boost concentration and help you focus on practical projects that need to be done. So your motto for the week is from Taurean Hollywood great, Katharine Hepburn “My greatest strength is my common sense.”
GEMINI [May 22-June 21]
Expect a welcome boost on Monday, when the tail-wind of the Mercury/Uranus connection precipitates a brilliant light-bulb moment, and you could solve a problem or think up a stunning idea. But, when it comes to a relationship issue, are you desperately trying to fix a frustrating situation? Prepare for some resistance from others – especially a child, partner or friend. A quick-fix won’t work. Instead, you need to slow down and take the time to really think things through.
CANCER [June 22-July 23]
The New Moon shakes up your career/reputation zone so prepare for a few surprises. But the more you try to control those around you, the more they will tend to push back. So it’s time to take a good long look at your motives. Perhaps you need to be less possessive? Perhaps you should give a loved one more freedom, so they can fight their own battles and make their own mistakes? Food for thought this week, as you connect with family, friends and colleagues.
LEO [July 24-Aug 23]
With the New Moon, Mercury, Uranus and retrograde Venus all in fellow fire sign Aries, you’re feeling mighty feisty at the moment! But hubris, pride and over-confidence often come before a fall. Especially when Jupiter squares Pluto. So the buzz word for this week is humility. If you’re a clever Cat you’ll be super humble, otherwise you’ll come a cropper. Heed the wise words of Saint Augustine “Do you plan a tower that will pierce the clouds? Lay first the foundation of humility.”
VIRGO [Aug 24-Sep 23]
Strive to get the balance right between spontaneously changing things, and maintaining the status quo. The trick is to keep what’s working and change what isn’t. Jupiter and Pluto also place money matters or self-esteem issues under the microscope. But don’t waste too much time weighing up the pros and cons of a given situation. The current planetary patterns encourage you to stop pondering and postulating. Instead, start turning your thoughts and ideas into active and productive projects.
LIBRA [Sep 24-Oct 23]
Venus [your power planet] is still retrograde so make sure you communicate clearly, otherwise misunderstandings are likely. If in doubt, take the time to double-check. And be careful that your perfectionist streak doesn’t get out of control! The more you try to make things ‘perfect’ [including yourself] the more you will attract opposition from others [especially people connected with work]. So do your best to focus on the process rather than the outcome; and the journey rather than the destination.
SCORPIO [Oct 24-Nov 22]
Proceed carefully with all forms of communication this week, especially social media. Otherwise you could provoke a negative response from a cranky ex, a hidden enemy or a known frenemy! The Jupiter/Pluto square can also make you much more self-critical. By all means examine your inner motivations but don’t spend too much time navel-gazing. As singer-songwriter [and fellow Scorpio] Joni Mitchell says “It’s very hard, peeling the layers off your own onion.” So try to lighten up a little!
SAGITTARIUS [Nov 23-Dec 21]
Under the influence of the Jupiter/Pluto square you could blow your budget with a spontaneous spending spree. Or commit yourself to an ambitious project that you really don’t have the time [or enthusiasm] for. You’ll find short-term big talk is no good if it doesn’t translate into long-term dynamic action. So this week’s special celestial message is from fellow Sagittarian, writer George Eliot “Great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought together.”
CAPRICORN [Dec 22-Jan 20]
This week’s powerful Jupiter/Pluto square boosts your desire for attention and success in the outside world. Which certainly suits your Capricorn drive and ambition. But it also fans your control-freak tendencies, which could end up alienating authority figures [like your boss] or loved ones [like your partner]. Remember – the only person you truly can control is yourself! The New Moon also urges you to spend some quality time nurturing your home and helping loved ones.
AQUARIUS [Jan 21-Feb 19]
Early in the week your wonderfully witty side is set to blossom, as you brainstorm ideas and amaze others with your quick-witted quips and controversial comments. Avoid taking short cuts mid-week though. Instead, try your best to do everything by the book. Thursday’s Jupiter/Pluto square could complicate travel plans; exacerbate a current legal matter; or stir up a tricky situation that started last November. So proceed with plenty of extra tact and [uncustomary] caution!
PISCES [Feb 20-March 20]
Tuesday’s New Moon lights up your cash zone, which encourages you to start a fresh financial chapter. You’ll find the more proactive and informed you are about money matters, the better your financial future will be. Plus Jupiter and Pluto also send a powerful message your way this week. When it comes to your peer group and social circle, aim to be much more discriminating. And definitely don’t waste precious time on fickle friends who sabotage your dreams.
