All Signs

An exuberant, electrifying energy ushers in this week because Mercury is lined up with unpredictable Uranus. Since both these planets are in a solid Earth sign, this will also trigger brilliant, practical solutions for us. Nevertheless, what the large print giveth, the small print taketh away. At the same time, the Sun will be at odds with Pluto indicating power struggles. (Patience is the key.) By the end of the week, a dreamy influence arrives making our imaginations soar! Einstein said, “Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.” I say, “All is theatre. If you put out fresh flowers, you don’t have to dust.”

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Be aware that unusual changes will impact your finances this week, especially at the beginning of the week. Stay on top of banking details. Know what’s happening because something unexpected could impact your assets, including your earnings. This might also apply to your belongings. For example, something you own might be lost, damaged or stolen. Therefore, keep your eyes open! Meanwhile, you are becoming increasingly in touch with a softer part of you – your inner world. Your spiritual values. In turn, this will prompt a greater appreciation of your world. It will also prompt a greater appreciation of the suffering of others.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This is a powerful time for you because the Sun, Mercury and Uranus are all in your sign, and they are all lined up. This is why you feel super independent! You might even feel rebellious. You do not want to be dictated to by others. Furthermore, you might feel compelled to suddenly act or do unexpected things. Life has taken on an unpredictable quality for you, which can be exciting but also disconcerting. Be aware of this wild energy swirling around you and think before you act. Do not be rash. Fortunately, friends and members of groups are supportive and loving to you now, which is such a blessing.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

This is an unsettling time for you and you might not know why. The reason for this is the Sun, Mercury and Uranus are closely lined up in your chart; however, they are “hiding.” This means all this electric, impulsive energy is fomenting beneath the surface of things. This could make you feel vaguely restless. You have that feeling that you should “do something.” In fact, you might say or do something that surprises others. Fortunately, a lovely, supportive influence is taking place at the top of your chart right now, which is helpful to you. This means people in power will be supportive — bosses, parents, teachers, VIPs and the police. Therefore, if you need help – ask for it.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

This is a popular time for you! You are more involved with young people as well making connections with organizations or clubs. Your involvement with others is lively and stimulating! It might make you feel younger. It might also trigger new ideas that make you change your future goals? Without doubt, some of you will meet someone interesting, perhaps a real character – someone unusual in some way or different from you. In addition, travel and opportunities to broaden your horizons will be thrilling! You might develop a crush on someone from another culture? You are excited and uplifted to explore opportunities in other countries, other cultures as well as publishing, the media, medicine and the law. A very rewarding time!

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Sudden and unexpected news might catch you off guard at the beginning of the week. It could relate to a parent. More likely, it will relate to a boss or someone in a position of authority, perhaps even the government or the police. (“Busted!”) Do be aware of this. However, this astrological combo also indicates that you feel rebellious, especially against authority. You want to do something on your own terms. Furthermore, you’re prepared to speak up about it. You want to fight for what is right, not only for yourself but for others. (Very much your style.) Meanwhile, financial matters are looking sweet! Gifts, goodies and favours from others will come your way. You might receive an inheritance. This same, beneficial influence can promote your love life and make things passionate and wonderfully affectionate. Oh my.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Travel opportunities might drop in your lap this week. Conversely, planned travel might suddenly be changed or cancelled? Meanwhile, others will hear unexpected news about medical matters or something to do with a legal situation. Or something unexpected might even impact your work in publishing or the media? New ideas and new opportunities to get further training and education will also be exciting. Do be aware that whatever opportunities present themselves to you will have a brief window, which means you will have to act quickly. Fortunately, your closest relationships are warm and cozy! This applies to dear friendships as well as your interactions with a spouse or partner. Bonus!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

At the beginning of this week, stay on top of banking details and anything to do with taxes, debt, insurance issues or matters related to shared property. I say this because this is where you might have a surprise. When it comes to financial matters, unless it’s a boon or a windfall, nobody likes a surprise. Therefore, stay on top of your scene. Know what’s happening, in case you have to head something off at the pass. (Especially if the posse is after you.) Fortunately, something quite wonderful is impacting your health as well as your job or your work. This is where you will truly benefit! Relations with coworkers are positive. You might see ways to make your workspace more attractive. You might get a promotion or even a better job. We like!

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Something unusual will take place between you and a close friend or a partner at the beginning of the week. Someone might make an unusual demand upon a relationship? They might want more freedom? Or perhaps, you will meet someone new? Or someone close to you might introduce you to someone who is different and unusual? Something interesting will definitely take place. Meanwhile, this is a lovely time for your social life because social plans with others will be interesting! You will enjoy the theatre, movies or some kind of interaction where you are entertained. Playful activities with kids will be upbeat. Romance will be thrilling, heartwarming and affectionate. Smoochie boochies!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This week you can expect interruptions and sudden changes that impact your job and your work. These changes might be positive – or not. For example, they could indicate the introduction of new technology; or you might have computer problems. Aagghhh. A change to your work might happen. You might start a new job or a new project? You will be full of original, clever ideas related to your work. Likewise, something unexpected might occur that relates to your health. Avoid accidents and be careful. Similarly, keep an eye on your pet to avoid mishaps. On the upside, you will adore entertaining at home or redecorating where you live or buying wonderful things for your home because everything related to home and family is blessed! (You feel so fortunate.)

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Parents should be extra vigilant this week because this is an accident-prone time for your kids. However, everyone will experience a change to social plans. This change will also apply to vacations or any kind of entertaining diversion, including the arts as well as sports. This could include an unexpected award or a win or some wonderful acknowledgement? Admittedly, it might indicate a sudden disappointment. Could go either way. Most likely it is positive news because this week your everyday relations with others are unusually warm, friendly and mutually beneficial. You are the charter member of your own mutual admiration society. Kiss, kiss, hug, hug.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

This week, interruptions and unexpected events will impact home and family for you – no question. Very likely, this will take place at the beginning of the week. For example, small appliances might break down or a minor breakage could occur. Unexpected company might be knocking at your door. (Do get dressed.) Technology might be a challenge. A Wi-Fi connection? Computer glitches? The good news is that money is coming your way! Many of you will suddenly boost your earnings or find a better paying job. You will work hard to earn your money as well. Since the money is flowing, many of you will also buy lovely, beautiful, special things for yourself. And why not? Money is only useful if you spend it.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Do be careful because this is an accident-prone time for you. Therefore, pay attention to everything you say and do because I’m referring to both physical and verbal accidents. (“Did I just say that?”) On the upside, you will have brilliant, original ideas! That’s because you can easily think outside of the box. New faces, new places and new plans will be exciting! All of this will definitely keep you on your toes. Meanwhile, a beautiful influence of Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Neptune is taking place in your sign (an influence that is still lingering from last week). This can only bring you good fortune. Alphabetize your blessings!

Shuttle Over Earth

Image Credit: NASAExpedition 22 Crew

Explanation: What’s that approaching? Astronauts on board the International Space Station in 2010 first saw it far in the distance. Soon it enlarged to become a dark silhouette. As it came even closer, the silhouette appeared to be a spaceship. Finally, the object revealed itself to be the Space Shuttle Endeavour, and it soon docked as expected with the Earth-orbiting space station. Pictured here, Endeavour was imaged near Earth’s horizon as it approached, where several layers of the Earth’s atmosphere were visible. Directly behind the shuttle is the mesosphere, which appears blue. The atmospheric layer that appears white is the stratosphere, while the orange layer is Earth’s Troposphere. Together, these thin layers of air — collectively spanning less than 2 percent of Earth‘s radius — sustain us all in many ways, including providing oxygen to breath and a barrier to dangerous radiations from space.
