The Pope is about understanding the past to comprehend the future. His authority is not bound by time and space, it is ever present. He’s telling you to take a deep and honest look at yourself to understand what you need as opposed to craving what you want. This card of deeper insight gives you the ability to more profoundly understand that while money may change everything it usually doesn’t fix anything; the Pope’s repair is internal.
The stars in the sky are consistent. We always know where they are. The Star as a Tarot card is erratic. People are expressive one minute, aloof the next. Things are intense and they burn out quickly. A relationship is on-again, off-again like the tremor preceding the eventual earthquake. When balance tilts out of whack, the antidote is to avoid traveling on a whim or seizing the unsuitable. Aim for stability today.
Keywords: providing aid, healing, concentration, moderation!
Astrological Correspondence: Sagittarius
The angel between heaven and earth blending different elements into a harmonious substance represents a bridge between polarities, like heaven and earth, masculine and feminine, beginning and end. The combining of varied substances serves as imagery for the merging of diverse forces to create a new whole for cooperation, coordination, a harmonious balance, looking for a middle ground, achieving healing, and recovery. Temperance signifies that moderation is necessary to regulate passions and maintain harmony in relationships, and to build tolerance and cooperation in groups. In a negative situation, Temperance characteristics are indecision, inconstancy, excess, obsession, and lack of control.
Friendly Reminder: We are having our annual Winter Survival Fundraiser this week. The donations collected this weekend will help with the operating costs of the office during the Winter months. We appreciate anything you can give and I guarantee you it will be put to good use. Thank you.

From The Astrology Room
ARIES (March 21st-April 20th)
The very problems you were ready to give up on yesterday are the ones which you can solve today. Try not to walk to the beat of others, or you will only go off course from where you were this time last month. Stick to your dreams if you really want them to become a reality.
TAURUS (April 21st-May 21st)
There is a new and improved air of confidence about you, which is sure to make you the sign that the rest of the zodiac are talking about. Careful about encouraging those who you know will be a bad influence on you. Remember what happened in September Taurus?
GEMINI (May 22nd-June 21st)
They may have been gone for a while now, but since a certain person left your life, I can see that it has taken you until now to realise it and to work out what it means to both your short term and your long term future.
CANCER (June 22nd-July 23rd)
Don’t play games in love as a certain person has had as much as they can take of your mixed signals and could end up throwing the towel in if you are not careful. Friends could also turn into lovers for those of you who have already been stirred by a friendly face.
LEO (July 24th-August 23rd)
Don’t let the problems which are occurring in the workplace cross over into your home life, or you will only end up stuck and frustrated (not to mention lonely). You would be far better to use today to work on some peace-making projects you can begin, don’t you think?
VIRGO (August 24th-September 23rd)
You’re on a mission to sort something out which has been bugging you for a really long time now. Try to trust your own judgment instead of rushing to dance to the beat others set. Geminis link to a change in work which will soon be obvious you need to make.
LIBRA (September 24th-October 23rd)
Try not to judge others when they have their opinion, as I see and you don’t yet, that you can’t possibly have all the facts you need to make an educated guess on what should happen next.
SCORPIO (October 24th-November 22nd)
An overload of information is making it too difficult for you to make what could potentially be the most important decision of your life. Knowing how far is too far to go is half the battle you will face.
SAGITTARIUS (November 23rd-December 21st)
Be nice in business this week, as it really can make all the difference between you getting what you want and what others think is more suited to you. Never were you a sign to revolt from a challenge, so do what you do best and rise like a phoenix from the flames.
CAPRICORN (December 22nd-January 20th)
Do you really know what you are doing in business at this time, or are you simply winging it Capricorn? I don’t think you really know, do you? Just try to remember that in order to be true to those around, you also have to be true to yourself. Beginning now!
AQUARIUS (January 21st-February 19th)
Be yourself Aquarius. Didn’t you know that the world worships an original. Knowing how far others will go for you in personal affairs really is half the battle this week. Make sure you are true to who you are. It’s what can and will make your life amazing.
PISCES (February 20th-March 20th)
You think that you can’t talk to a close one about what is going on, but you are wrong. The very thing they want from you is for you to open up so that they can be involved in all you are thinking and doing. Dressing well gives you the confidence to knock on new doors.

Incorrigibly cheerful and optimistic, Sagittarian enthusiasm gives the members of this Sign a zest for life. Sporty and firm, these dynamic people are driven by seemingly blind faith, telling themselves that all is for the best in the best of possible worlds.
And indeed, for them, it usually does turn out for the best in the end. These are born extroverts who, whether pysically or metaphorically, like to roam free. Moreover, there’s something of the visionary in every Sagittarian and, though natives of this group are often blunt and tactless, very often their words and ideas hit the mark.
At work and play, religion, politics and the law are the traditional occupations that suit the nature of this Sign.
But many Sagittarians find their way into schools and universities, where they become dedicated teachers and lecturers. Publishing also attracts these people, and if they do write, there will be a strong philosophical or spiritual slant to their work.
Sport will figure highly in the lives of Sagittarians, whether it be as a main career or as a part-time pursuit.
In love and relationships, Sagittarians, who are not the most constant of the Signs, value their freedom and hate to be tied down. They are restless souls with a strong idealistic streak, which makes them seek knights in shining armour, or damsels in distress.
A partner who is prepared to share their dream, and sense of adventure will win the Sagittarian heart forever. In intimate relationships, love and laughter are essential, and a light-hearted attitude to life’s problems will help to smooth the bumps through the inevitable ups and downs of life.
In health matters, Sagittarius governs hips and thighs – areas which tend to become overweight among the people of this Sign – especially as middle-age approaches. Walking and riding, persuits particularly associated with the Archer, form ideal exercises for this problem.
However, accidents may affect their hips, so they should take precautions against any serious falls. Strong and hearty types in general, the Sagittarian appetite for rich, spicy food can all too often take it’s toll on the liver.
Where wealth is conserned, reputed to be the luckiest Sign of the Zodiac, Sagittarians somehow always manage to land on their feet.
This ‘good omen’ streak follows them in their financial dealings, and can in some, fuel an urge to gamble or take heady risks. However, whether it’s their happy go lucky natures, or whether Lady Luck especially smiles upon these – her favourites – the Sagittarhttp://sagittian does seem to live a charmed and fortunate life.

There is little doubt that, with their intense and powerful demeanors, Scorpios come across as forceful personalities with deep-rooted passions. They carry around them an aura of mystery and intrigue, which others find compellingly attractive.
Yet, no matter how much they try, it is unlikely that anyone will succeed in completely penetrating a Scorpio’s mysterious and puzzling soul, for members of this Sign are secretive individuals, who are fiercely protective of their own privacy. Whether at home, work or in love, Scorpios need to be the one in control.
They despise any shallowness, insincerity, weakness of character, and, above all else, betrayal. With their penetrating gaze and great insight, they have the power to read between the lines and see into the heart of the matter in an instant.
At work and play, whatever they take on, Scorpios involve themselves one hundred percent. Their powers of concentration, and ability to focus on the job in hand are unequalled. They have an urgent ‘need to know’, which drives many of them into investigative or forensic operations. Some are drawn to psychology and psychoanalysis, others to scientific research. Surgery and dentistry also attract, but so too, do the mystical arts and occult.
In love and relationships, Scorpios are passionate and intense, and have the reputation of being the sexiest Sign of the Zodiac. Certainly, when they fall in love, these people give their all. However, they do expect their love and devotion to be returned in the same depth and quantity.
Woe betide a partner who is disloyal, or, worse still, one who cheats – for a Scorpio never forgives!
In health matters, Scorpio rules the reproductive system and sexual organs. Problems in these areas are common, and may range from menstrual complications in women, to hernia or urological complaints in men.
Although Scorpios have been described as having lean but strong constitutions, when ill, they can make difficult and demanding patients, rebelling against medical advice which can complicate treatment. Fortunately however, they are blessed with good powers of recovery.
Where wealth is concerned, when it comes to savings and making investments, following whatever their intuition tells them to do, usually pays off handsomely for members of this Sign.
This inborn savvy, combined with their astute business sense, will ensure that money stockpiles nicely for them in the bank. But remember, Scorpios are secretive individuals and they like to keep their financial affairs under wraps – even from those they consider to be their nearest and dearest.

ARIES (March 21st-April 20th)
Just be yourself Aries, for there really is no one better. You have been making recent changes based on what you think other people want you to do rather than what is actually best for you. Time to change this for you to get the most from all others want to offer.
TAURUS (April 21st-May 21st)
Secrets come to light and what you learn that you did not know before, is how good you have been at standing by those who really don’t deserve it. Being open to new ideas socially is what can help you gravitate towards more suitable friends.
GEMINI (May 22nd-June 21st)
Try not to allow well-meaning but naïve friends to give you bad advice. Remember you are a sign of individual needs who needs to stand up for what they truly believe in and not give in to those who are only thinking of their own needs.
CANCER (June 22nd-July 23rd)
Venus is making it hard for you to see the difference between fact and fiction. You begin to realise that certain signs are out for what they can get, rather than trying to help and support those around them. Phone calls you make today can arrange a better working week.
LEO (July 24th-August 23rd)
Don’t spend too much time thinking, just do. Thoughts you have about your professional future may seem far-fetched but are actually exactly what the stars have planned for you. Grab what is ahead with both hands. This really is your time my friend.
VIRGO (August 24th-September 23rd)
I know you feel as if you could do with some more time with a loved one, but they have already taken enough time out from all they had to do than they wanted to, so give them a break. Fun times this week rely on you turning up on time and not late.
LIBRA (September 24th-October 23rd)
I know it feels as if it has been all work and no play but that’s because you’ve worked so hard and you’ve done better than you thought. Travel plans you make for Christmas are a good reward for what is now a very successful path to your destiny you’re on.
SCORPIO (October 24th-November 22nd)
Try not to let others bring out your jealous side Scorpio. You and I know you are better than that and I also know that the people who are trying to get a rise out of you are not even as strong as you!
SAGITTARIUS (November 23rd-December 21st)
A busy feel to your chart should see you achieving more this week than you have all year. Try not to join in with any negativity that others choose to indulge in or you will only end up looking like the ringleader and you and I know you are better than that.
CAPRICORN (December 22nd-January 20th)
Instead of focusing on all that may go wrong in a relationship, try instead to focus only on what can and should go right. By putting your best efforts into all that is in front of you then you can build up the support team which will take you to your best chapter yet.
AQUARIUS (January 21st-February 19th)
If you can present yourself with confidence, then you can pull off pretty much anything. Those who tell you that you can’t today, will be the very ones who will praise you for your skills by the time this month comes to a close.
PISCES (February 20th-March 20th)
Financial affairs prove hard to understand and you may find yourself having to pay for those who never have and never would do the same in return. Being fair in family affairs tonight is what can get you back in the good books of a loved one.

Try not to brace yourself for a power struggle with a loved one. Instead, see what a brief bit of distance and detachment bring because whatever the issue is that you’re dealing with, it could resolve itself if left alone to do so. Try not to focus intently on what you should be saying or doing in the belief your message will be ignored otherwise. Letting certain things go can be the most sensible strategy sometimes when it comes to love, and you’re wise to refrain from provoking anything now.
Focusing on how you improve an aspect of your love life might involve looking at finances or what level of expenditure is allocated toward love, romance, fun or frivolity. If money issues are a source of stress, then it’s nothing a bit more self-discipline won’t resolve quickly. Trust your intuition to know how to create balance in a love relationship and if this means ‘balancing the books,’ then that’s where your improvement strategy begins.
An unexpected love development could remind you of what’s possible in your romantic world or what you’ve missed out on recently. Being brought down to Earth could inspire you to review your passionate priorities, and it could be timely to do so as the sky promises more shake-ups, revelations or enlightenment shortly. Fortunately, you’re right to trust your instincts when they urge you to keep your optimism levels high. A sense of anticipation and excitement is justified and can take your love life or one connection somewhere very different – and soon.
Whether it’s you or a loved one who feels only snippets of information are being provided to a bigger picture you want to be completely in the know about, all will be revealed shortly. There might be more questions than answers relating to a plan or arrangement, and vagueness at this stage only increases frustration levels. There could be much beyond your or a loved one’s control at this time, so don’t try to steer what cannot be steered and help someone close to accept this, too.
It’s time to inject spontaneity or enjoy the thrill of doing something unusual or unorthodox in the name of love. Maybe a romantic or relationship rule or two could be broken if it leads to trying something new in a love relationship. Allow yourself to be guided by your rebellious side because breaking from traditions or tedious patterns is your ticket to embarking upon passionate adventures on offer. Being joined on your journey by someone who shares your desire to be different can only enhance the thrills!
An unusual vibe permeating your emotional world, or one special connection might be welcome if it captures your imagination and encourages you to wonder where it’s coming from. You could be faced with a mystery or a sense of confusion but would find yourself undeniably intrigued by where your love life or one special connection is heading. Affairs of the heart can often be one big mystery sometimes but don’t net negativity creep in to fuel doubts about whether you’ll like how this unravels. The sky insists you will.
This is a time to seize a chance to reveal or release intense feelings, especially if you’ve done a good job of concealing them recently. Suppressing what’s in your heart only serves to prevent you from being true to yourself and you’ll do whatever it takes to keep negativity from influencing anything connected with your emotional world any longer. With one simple attitude adjustment, you can be a force of positivity and light where affairs of the heart are concerned. It all starts with revealing your authentic self without any fears of doing so.
Your passionate plans could excite you and give you plenty to ponder, but they’ll remain as plans until you take a step to make them real. Perhaps, all you need is a quick glimpse into what might be possible if you took that step, and you could receive that now if you make one modicum of effort to see how someone responds to a gentle nudge. If you sense destiny is at work with forming or strengthening one bond, then your instincts have once again not failed you!
Creating a bit of space or distance in a love relationship can act as oxygen to passionate flames waiting to be fueled now. Do your best to keep the positive energy flowing in your romantic world, especially if you and a loved one are giving more thought to the future of your relationship. Giving each other space can help to keep any discussions grounded and realistic.
If you’ve yearned to experience something new and exciting in your love life, then the cosmos appears keen to support your request. There’s something fresh and potentially invigorating on offer now or shortly with someone special. If you’re a single Libran, then this could bring a delightful shift in a relationship stuck in the realms of friendship for some time. The passionate potential in your romantic world could soon go off the scale, so be prepared!
Taking a step back to assess how realistically you see a love life scenario could help you spot something concealed within it. Time spent pondering your passionate, hungry heart and everything you want from romance could be time well spent. Remove whatever holds you back from the passionate potential you want to experience in your emotional world or within one special connection. The steps needed to create it in the future starts with emotions you feel now. Ensure they’re positive and hopeful. There’s no reason why they shouldn’t be both!
The urge to spend money to bring a smile to your or a loved one’s face could head into reckless territory if you’re not careful. Fortunately, connecting with your powers of self-discipline can nip any potential pecuniary problem in the bud. It’s also important to ponder what a loved one might want that money can’t buy. Here’s a clue: it involves two-way openness. Enhancing the bond of trust and authenticity between you is a priceless gift you could offer now.
You could feel your passionate energy is grounded in some way at this time, but this down-to-earth influence might be what’s needed to enjoy a heartwarming experience with one special person. There can be many delightful benefits to switching off fantasy-based visions and focusing instead on what’s happening in real time. It’s the simple, sweet pleasures that can bring romantic joy, so allow them to unfold without idealistic visions getting in the way.
You could be surprised not only at how you find yourself pouring your heart out suddenly to a love interest but also at how easy it is to do so. Your usual cheeky or charming banter could be replaced with something much more authentic now. Don’t be concerned that any exchange will remain in intellectual realms and not transform into something deeper. Your genuine message of love is the first step to bringing you closer to understanding what’s in your heart now. With the right levels of patience and sensitivity, one special person will be in no doubt about this, too.
You could feel particularly keen to nurture the most authentic love connection possible between you and someone close now. You’re not interested in frivolity, rudderless communication or shallow experiences. You want something deep, profound and for your heart to feel protected and safe. Keep as much simple and straightforward as possible. There could be too many distractions to keep you from the path of true love, and you have a choice about whether you stray from it.
Focusing on what’s positive in your emotional world or one special connection would be infinitely easier if you weren’t nurturing regrets surrounding something you said or did recently. What’s done is done, and it’s more important that you learn the valuable lesson on offer rather than beat yourself up about what you believe you upset or changed with your words or actions. Put your romantic world back in a positive light. This story is far from finished.
The high that comes from taking a necessary step forward in your love life could push you to explore what else might be possible. However, there are benefits to taking time to reflect on what you’ve experienced and learned. Making progress only to feel that affairs of the heart or one special connection are moving forward isn’t enough. The sky insists there’s something sweet and valuable on offer in the present without trying to hasten the future.
Despite your best efforts, you might not be to contain your passionate fervor for love at this time. Your enthusiastic energy can be powerfully alluring at any time and could be enhanced tenfold now. Be the positive, energetic influence you can be to someone who will be delighted to have it focused their direction. You could be equally delighted to see how your amorous ardor is returned to you, too!
Your most ambitious romantic goal needs nurturing, not hastening. This is particularly true if you and a certain special person are ‘in it for the long haul.’ Romance hates being rushed so connect with your signature patience and take whatever steps are needed to allow something sweet to simmer slowly. There is something delightful waiting to be discovered if you can consciously take your fervent energy down a notch or two.
Feeling unloved or unappreciated by your paramour could push you to take steps to remind them of your valuable contribution. You’re not asking for trophies or applause; you just want your efforts to be acknowledged. The more you ask for what you want, the more likely it is that you’ll receive it. Remove any guesswork on a loved one’s part and step forward or speak up confidently.
You may not be ready to share your love life inspirations with a partner yet but trying to keep them concealed could prove frustrating. The answer surrounds not hiding what’s on your mind or in your heart. You have a masterplan for the future in mind, and there can be more benefits to including the one you love in your plans than keeping them at arm’s length. You never know what the object of your affections could contribute if you allow them a glimpse into your vision now.
Don’t be too determined to have the last word in any exchanges with a loved one or potential partner at this time, regardless of how heated any discussions become. You’ll have your chance soon to make your point and a bit of time taken to prepare it – calmly and sensitively – will serve you well now.
Your sexy desires are where your new romantic or relationship adventures begin. However, any passionate visions need to be converted to passionate actions if they’re to stand a chance of becoming real. There are limits to how much the love gods are willing to help you to achieve something wonderful around the corner. You can see and feel what you want and need from affairs of the heart. How soon you turn one vision into reality depends on how much effort you make to help it become real.
If you’re puzzled or confused by a loved one’s words or actions, then taking some time to revisit the foundations of your romantic relationship could be timely and helpful. You can instigate a heart-to-heart exchange but stepping back briefly might be all that’s needed to gain a clearer perspective. As keen as you might be to bend a rule or two in other areas of your world, you might feel a matter of principle is at stake by a loved one not ‘playing by the rules’ now.
I told you I have strange words or ideas that suddenly appear in my head (no, I ain’t crazy, well not yet). I don’t believe they come from me either. I believe they come from that little Goddess sitting on my shoulder. I just turned around to get my medicine out of the cabinet and I had one of those ideas strike me. It was a chant. If you are by yourself, shout it to the rooftops….

From The Astrology Room
Aries
Venus is hurtling through your relationship sky, making her way back her start point, after her back-flip. Rewind but be kind Aries. Review what you’ve learned over the last couple of months and use it to set clear intentions, focus on who or what you want from love now you know what you don’t.
Taurus
Not one to be holding a grudge, much, you’ve decided you can move on from what someone thought was funny, needed or just couldn’t hold back on. Good for you Taurus, nothing dims your love light more than refusing to let go of the old. Out with it. It’s done. He or she can jog on.
Gemini
A full Moon, end of the week, in your own sign is an opportunity to shed some stuff. Stuff. For it to be a full Moon in your sign the Sun must be in your relationship sky, so too is a backwards moving Mercury. That’s a long-winded way of saying enough chat, time for action.
Cancer
Someone is still hovering around you Cancer, that’s hovering and not hoovering, just to be clear. He or she is waiting for your mood to change so they can make their move. Maybe they would be better hoovering, at least that way they’d be useful. Let them know it’s not your mood, it’s them.
Leo
I can’t tell you what to think, what to wear, where to go on a night out to find yourself some wonderful romance. But I can suggest you shift your attitude, change your look and how about a new venue rather than blending in down the Dog and Duck every weekend? Change is required. Lots of it.
Virgo
Mars is in the land of your relationships, so too is Neptune and early this week the Moon is their too. A combination that brings you some hot stuff if you’ve got the stamina. You may prefer the steadying effect of Saturn in your new love sky? Choices are too hot to handle or ‘what’s for tea’. At least it’s a choice.
Libra
Venus is in her last fall out with Uranus, for a while anyway, and she’s leaving your sign with this thought; what if true love isn’t as perfect as it is in the movies? Seek perfection by all means Libra, but it seems you’ve already met someone who is closer to it than you think.
Scorpio
You have things you need to say and you’re going to say them. Good, so you should. Just remember that once you say whatever you have to say, you can’t take it back, no matter how hard you try. Better to take a beat Scorps, use your frustration to affect real change rather than winning points.
Sagittarius
The full Moon, Friday, is your annual gaze into what’s reflected back to you through the relationships that you have. It may not all be about your love life, but how you react to people, and they to you, is important. New love is on hold to be honest, and when it comes along the ‘who’ will surprise you.
Capricorn
Someone is being really obvious about how they feel, so obvious your mates may feel a bit embarrassed for him or her as you’re clearly not responding. Not because you’re not interested, it’s just you’re so focused on a work deal. Ask your mates, they see the ‘do not disturb’ sign you have on, turn it off.
Aquarius
Venus is opposite your ruler Uranus and they’re having big chats, nope, bigger than that! Be honest with the ex, clear with yourself, charming with a new love interest or forthright with someone who needs to step aside so you can move on by. All to play for Aquarius.
Pisces
Mars in your sign is many things, but up there on the list is amorous. He’s hot and bothered but maybe the reversal of your relationship ruler Mercury is the thing that finally gets you moving? A heated debate, frustrating even, shows you someone who you could love to argue with. It’s a start!

From The Astrology Room
With the sun moving into Sagittarius to join Jupiter, there’s a feeling of optimism and joy for the future. In fact, this is a week when you can take a deep breath and know that what matters to you, or what gives you meaning in life, is above all the most important centre within you.
Soul is talking. Yes, your soul. So listen to your desires with an open mind, love others with compassion, and accept that what you see may not be always what you get. Frankly, we all project our ideals and fantasies onto the one we love. But how can they live up to those glittering expectations we have cast upon them? Jupiter in Sagittarius will get us all thinking this year, but most of all, encourage us to become philosophical about seeing that love is a force that permeates all.
ARIES
This is a time when all the seeds you have sown for yourself, for that better future, for new love, for more creative and enriching loving if attached, will slowly begin to bear the kind of fruit you truly desire. Time to let go of the past and move on in love. Just don’t over-think it all.
TAURUS
You don’t want to be dependent on anyone for anything and no way are you going to do things the way others thinks best. In fact, you feel determined to be quite radical as you climb on board the train of self-love. Your unexpected dose or courage will make sense when your strengthened ego also gets loved by someone else.
GEMINI
You often think about, and believe in the perfect match, and it’s exactly that kind of magical thinking which will create a true merger of minds in your love life. With the sun in your opposite sign giving you strength of character, and Jupiter a sense of inner authority and outer image, you can ask for what you want and get it too.
CANCER
With the changing planetary energy, you can be assured of some lighter, sensual moments. And if there is someone beside you either in your dreams or in your life remember they have their own dreams too. So time to embrace them in the here and now and take the plunge into a joint reality.
LEO
Something has shifted in your love life, a cog has turned, or another life has tapped into yours. The latticework of the universe, eternally dimensional, has been woven into a new pattern, and you’re beginning to move through love’s threads which catch us in its web. You have been torn between mistrust and utter faith. Time now to focus on the latter.
VIRGO
Your self-reliance and inner beauty radiates around you. If attached, communication channels open up, and you’re learning that someone’s little faults and good qualities are simply your own mirrored before you. Right now, you can look forward with belief in yourself. No more looking back, no more regrets, no more falling into this to get out of that.
LIBRA
Just be yourself this week. If single, Venus says, you need a cooling off period, take it slow, don’t be impulsive. Hey, this person you have your eye on, may not even feel the same way as you? And if attached, the planets are just reminding you to reflect before you act. Once you’ve reflected, love will then be perfectly divine.
SCORPIO
It seems that most of us spend a large portion of our waking life regretting this and wishing we’d said that, and thinking ‘if only’ and ‘what if’? But this week you are at last coming to terms with the present for what it is – a time for looking after yourself, and good or positive thoughts for better relating.
SAGITTARIUS
Time to set off with a new set of ideals about love and life, so when you meet someone you want to impress and feel comfortable with, it will just come easily to you. If you’re attached, you probably need to create more interesting ways to romance. Intellectual pursuits, finding your spiritual home or spending time with friends will give you and your partner fresh ideas.
CAPRICORN
It feels as if the things you had planned a while back are not happening the way you like. And that’s uncomfortable. You’re restless yet resilient and ready to adapt. However, love isn’t exactly the romantic bliss you had hoped for long ago. So now is the time to see the reality of it all, and then accept it.
AQUARIUS
I guess you’re feeling pulled in two directions about your feelings. Not so much from outer necessity, but from inner confusion. In other words, do you sacrifice your dreams or follow your instinct about one love relationship? Self-belief or self-sabotage? Think clearly and focus on what you truly want and you won’t have a problem any more.
PISCES
This week a lover or partner will start to take notice of you. Yes, you have moods and you’re often frustrated, but what’s the problem with that? This is who you are, and if someone doesn’t like it, or sits in judgment upon your choices and behaviour then frankly, it’s time to stand up for yourself and start to take responsibility for being who you are.

From The Astrology Room
ARIES (March 21st-April 20th)
This weekend the Moon highlights your need to see those who make you feel like yourself. No longer do you want to mix with new faces, but it is those who know you well who can give you back the confidence you recently lost. Family prove demanding for a valid reason.
TAURUS (April 21st-May 21st)
A lot of people are afraid to say what they want, which is actually why they don’t get what they want. Try to be the vocal and confident Taurean the heavens designed you to be. If you can slow your pace and take in the view around you, then you will see how loved you are.
GEMINI (May 22nd-June 21st)
Don’t let others force you into outlays you don’t want to make. You should have learnt by now that living how others tell you, is not what your sign was born for. Finishing your work earlier this week can allow you the free time to accept impromptu upcoming invites.
CANCER (June 22nd-July 23rd)
At last Cancer, you have turned your back on what was not working and you are focusing firmly on the future. Personal and professional issues seem to have overlapped and it’s left you unsure of what the ‘right’ thing to do is.
LEO (July 24th-August 23rd)
Support you show your loved ones over the course of the next seven days can dictate how the rest of the year goes for you my friend. You start to realize that maybe you were only admitting part of what you want from your future and not all of it.
VIRGO (August 24th-September 23rd)
Your professional victory is just around the corner, so never give up. I know that your loved ones have not approved of the way work has affected your relationship with them, but you’re about to turn an important corner by Thursday.
LIBRA (September 24th-October 23rd)
Don’t cut corners in your work this week, or it is sure to come back on you. There is a feeling of worry and stress concerning a home matter. Take the bull by the horns by Thursday please and call who you need to speak to in order to sort things out.
SCORPIO (October 24th-November 22nd)
I see from your stars that you’ve outgrown certain faces in your life and you are no longer attracted to or inspired by those who only take and never give back. Buying and selling go well from Wednesday, when you should be able to sweet talk others and tailor make your plans.
SAGITTARIUS (November 23rd-December 21st)
Things you buy at this time, say a lot about the confidence you have in the situation you are now in. You’re changing Sagittarius and you’re growing and developing in so many ways. Try not to ignore a family member who has been vying for your time please.
CAPRICORN (December 22nd-January 20th)
Don’t be jealous Capricorn, but instead look at the recent success of those around you as an inspiration for you to find your own path to happiness. Solo work projects look more financially viable than you had first thought they would be.
AQUARIUS (January 21st-February 19th)
A misunderstanding in your inner circle seems to have gotten out of hand and the stars indicate that you have both said things you now regret. Sort things out before Tuesday so you can take advantage of the success upcoming joint projects can provide.
PISCES (February 20th-March 20th)
You have not really been looking after yourself as well as you should and this is shown by the lack of contact certain faces have made. Why not use this week, to prove to those around you that you have what it takes to get back in the saddle?

Offerings: Ashes smeared on the face. A promise to see ugliness with new eyes.
Daily Meal: Coarse dark bread. Mushrooms.
Invocation to Angrboda
Hail, Hag of the Iron Wood!
From thy womb came
The Lady of Death,
Dark mistress of the shades;
The wolf of destruction,
The serpent all-encompassing.
Strong one who stands alone,
Who defends her children
No matter how ugly they might be,
Who defends her spouse
Even when all others revile him,
Who would die for her loved ones
Even when they are imperfect.
Your children exiled or imprisoned,
Yet the tide of death and destruction
Was not slowed an inch.
Hail, Lady whose heart
Was burned to ash by those
Who would not look upon ugliness
Lest they see in it a dark mirror
Of their own bright souls.
Chant: Angrboda Angrboda
Hag of the Iron Wood
(All step forth and take a handful of ashes from the burned heart and smear it on their faces. The horn of mead is passed around and the remainder poured out as a libation. The candles are put out, the iron knife is laid on the floor, and all step over it as they leave.)
Don’t be surprised if you experience a physical-emotional vitality boost — thanks to the moon in Pisces making a flowing trine pattern with the sun in Scorpio (12:05am). Think more about completing odds and ends during the ensuing 7 hour void lunar zone that continues until fiery Aries moon begins in earnest (7:57am). Within the lunar void unsettled energy-field, healing interests peak as the moon makes its monthly conjunction with Chiron (4:17am) while emotional tensions can pack a wallop due to Venus forming a potentially distressing, 150-degree link to Juno (5:51am). Being too pushy and ego-driven in romance and while dealing with key family members is out of bounds. Utilize a lunar trine to Jupiter in Sagittarius (12:19pm) to enhance your leadership credentials.
[Note to readers: All times are now calculated as Pacific Standard Time. Be sure to adjust all times according to your own local time so the alignments noted above will be exact for your location.]

If you find yourself in an awkward conversation, yelling at your computer, or running into an ex over the next few weeks, that’s because it’s back! Pesky Mercury Retrograde. While this chatty, connective, and thoughtful planet moves backward in the sky, you’ll have to work overtime to make sure things go smoothly.
It’s true that no one is safe when it comes to Mercury Retrograde, but these challenging few weeks don’t always have to be a bad thing. In fact, it can be downright enlightening to revisit, reconsider, or get a second chance at your past. But for some of you, it might feel like you’re drowning in the frustration and confusion that is Mercury Retrograde in Sagittarius/Scorpio, especially these four zodiac signs!
Sorry, social butterfly! You’re in for a tougher time than most. You might be used to hearing this since Mercury is your ruling planet, but this retrograde period will be especially painful. Being the fun, friendly, popular zodiac sign that you are, you’re getting hit where it hurts the most: in your relationships. You’ll find that the connection you have with your lover, friend, or partner is more sensitive than usual. It’ll be challenging, but you’ll need to be very cautious about what you say and how you say it during this time. A little sass could throw a major wrench into your relationship!
Also ruled by Mercury, you rely heavily on your brainy traits to carry you through the day. So, when your prim and proper thought process starts to get crisscrossed, it could really throw you off your game. It could leave you flustered and worn out and wanting to go home! But unfortunately, your home might not feel like home during Mercury Retrograde. Maybe your family isn’t connecting, or perhaps your roommates aren’t listening when you ask them to do their part of the chores. It could be that your requests for kitty cuddles are ignored, or you can’t get your pillows in the perfect mush position the way you envisioned it. Whatever it might be, your home won’t likely bring you the solace and comfort you’re craving during this difficult season.
Oh, Scorpio. Even when you’re at your sneakiest, you should know you can’t escape your share of Mercury Retrograde effects. For a while, this retrograde season seemed like it might be easy for you. Sure, splurging a bit or going on a shopping spree is all fun and games … until it turns into a financial blunder. But if you embrace the right retrograde energy, you’ll be back to a strict budget in no time. You might even be inspired to pursue a side gig, a promotion, or a new job with bigger pay. While this ambition should be applauded, be very careful as you go after your new dreams. Mercury is going to continue slipping backward until it makes its way into your sign. You are very likely to have trouble communicating your ideas, thoughts, and desires clearly, making your new goals almost impossible.
This was supposed to be your time to shine! Jupiter is finally back home in your zodiac sign, it’s about to be your season, and then smack! Mercury kicks off its retrograde right in Sagittarius. As someone who values expressing your truths the way you do, it might drive you mad when you begin to second-guess yourself. During this Mercury Retrograde, you’ll begin to notice that your once very clear and righteous opinions now seem foggy. They no longer have the same ring to them. You may even question whether they’re truly your beliefs at all! If you find yourself shying away from your soapbox and feeling an unusual amount of self-doubt, remember that Mercury Retrograde can’t last forever. It won’t be long until you have your mojo back!
