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 (April 16, 2018 – April 22, 2018)
ARIES [March 21-April 20]
Restless Rams are ready to fire off in exciting new directions! Mercury is now moving forwards in your sign, and Monday’s New Moon is also in Aries. So it’s action stations for adventurous Aries. And it’s the best week of the year to set intentions, hatch ideas and take steps to initiate bold new projects. But (with Jupiter opposing Venus) don’t get carried away; promise the Moon and the stars; and then fail to follow through (especially involving friends and finances).
TAURUS [April 21-May 21]
Are you stubbornly holding onto outdated ideas? Are you sticking to obsolete ways of thinking, as if you’re on auto-pilot? This week the New Moon, Pluto and Uranus encourage you to let go of an old grudge; put aside pre-conceived notions; and examine your beliefs in a philosophical and spiritual new light. Then the Sun shifts into Taurus on Friday, which will help you focus on practical projects that need to be completed. And don’t forget to have some fun along the way!
GEMINI [May 22-June 21]
After three long weeks, thank goodness Mercury (your patron planet) is finally moving forwards. Communication, conversation, business, education and travel should all gradually improve as the week progresses. But the New Moon and unpredictable Uranus could still throw some chaos into the mix! Especially involving friends, groups, clubs or organisations. So think before you speak and – if you find yourself compelled to spread secrets – just zip your lips and say nothing.
CANCER [June 22-July 23]
The New Moon and Uranus shake 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 take a good long look at your motives. Perhaps you need to be less possessive? Perhaps you could give someone more freedom, so they can fight their own battles and make their own mistakes? Food for thought, as you transform the way you connect with family, friends and colleagues.
With the New Moon, Uranus and Mercury all in fellow fire sign Aries, you’re feeling feisty and ready for adventure! But hubris and over-confidence often come before a fall. So the buzz word this week is humility. If you’re a clever Cat you’ll be kinder towards others, and more tolerant of their individual idiosyncrasies. Your motto for the week is from birthday great, actress Jessica Lange. “Acceptance and tolerance and forgiveness, those are life-altering lessons.”
VIRGO [Aug 24-Sep 23]
Avoid getting into ‘Very-Stressed Virgo Mode’! Your ruler Mercury is moving forwards, which will help an intimate relationship or a joint financial project that has been somewhat stalled over the last three weeks. As the Sun moves into steady Taurus, you’ll find focus and a practical plan will take you far. So your motto for the moment is from fashion designer Victoria Beckham (born on April 17). “I believe you can achieve anything if you work hard enough to get it.”
LIBRA [Sep 24-Oct 23]
Are your relationships stuck on auto-pilot? The New Moon, Jupiter, Pluto and Uranus encourage you to blast away the cobwebs and look at things from a fresh angle. Attached Librans – are you doing all the giving, while your partner is doing all the taking? Singles – you could fall for someone who’s not your usual type. But how well do you really know your nearest and dearest? It’s time to dig deeper and gain valuable insights into the inner workings of a family member.
SCORPIO [Oct 24-Nov 22]
On Monday (courtesy of the New Moon) it’s a fabulous time to review your emotional wellbeing and physical fitness levels, introduce healthier food choices, and reboot your exercise routine. Don’t have one? It’s the best week of the year to start! Tuesday’s Venus/Pluto connection intensifies platonic partnerships and adds extra passion to a romantic relationship. Some single Scorpios will experience a strong attraction to someone who is sexy and rather mysterious.
SAGITTARIUS [Nov 23-Dec 21]
The planets precipitate a romantic or friendship shake-up, as you reassess your relationship priorities. But, under the influence of extravagant Venus and Jupiter, you could blow your budget with a spontaneous spending spree. Or commit yourself to an ambitious project that you really don’t have the energy or enthusiasm for. So think things through before you make promises! You’ll find short-term big talk is no good if it doesn’t translate into long-term dynamic action.
CAPRICORN [Dec 22-Jan 20]
All work and no play make Goats grumpy and difficult to live with. Monday’s New Moon encourages you to adjust your home/work ratio so it’s much more balanced and family friendly. Communicating with other people looks very intense on Tuesday, as you share a favourite sport, hobby or activity with someone special. Make sure you keep the lines of communication open, plus use your personal power (and Capricorn charisma) in positive and productive ways.
AQUARIUS [Jan 21-Feb 19]
This week the New Moon, Mercury and Uranus activate your marvellous Aquarian mind. Wednesday looks crammed full of electric energy and exciting possibilities as the Sun/Uranus connection leads to a brilliant light-bulb moment when you solve a problem, think up a stunning idea or do something wildly different. But you’ll also feel extra impulsive, which makes you more accident-prone than usual. So slow down, calm down and look (twice) before you leap!
PISCES [Feb 20-March 20]
Monday’s New Moon lights up your cash zone, which signals a fresh financial chapter. You’ll find the more proactive and informed you are about money matters, the better your fiscal future will be. Venus and Pluto also send an important message your way this week. When it comes to your peer group and social circle, don’t waste precious time on fickle friends who sabotage your dreams. Instead, nurture relationships with positive people who make you feel powerful and special.
