ARIES
Welcome to one of the most exciting weeks of 2018 and a chance to finally break through the barriers of recent months. Monday is the key day, with a number of different events happening at the same time, that completely change the dynamics of this year. Monday is the start of a 10 day alignment between Jupiter in your financial sector and Neptune in an intuitive and imaginative part of your chart, creating a boost in financial confidence. Monday is also the day that a month long alignment between Uranus in your income sector and Saturn in your career sector begins, the first here in our lifetime. The real game changer is Mars retrograding back out of your friendship sector and into your career sector on Monday, something that will have implications across the board. This will take Mars out of opposition with fun, playful, romantic and creative forces, while bringing him back into play at a stunning point of the year across the income, work and career fronts.
TAURUS
This is anything but an ordinary week, with almost every aspect of your life lighting up like a Christmas tree. Uranus' retrograde turn in Taurus last week means that the planet of surprise, synchronicity and the unexpected is spending his first full week in retrograde motion here in eight decades. This not only created an opportunity for a do over on the personal front, but comes just as Uranus moves into an alignment with Saturn in an adventurous part of your chart and as Mars retrogrades back in there. Yet as Venus spends her first full week in your work sector, she is able to take over from where Mars leaves off, as he retrogrades back out of your career sector on Monday. With a huge amount of untapped job potential, this brings you to an exciting point in your professional year. The only challenge you'll face this week is finding a balance between work and play.
GEMINI
Five major events all squeeze themselves into the early hours of the week, all of a sudden not only making this year a lot more exciting, but a lot less stressful. Regardless of anything else happening, with Venus spending her first full week in a fun, playful, romantic and creative part of your chart and Uranus his first full week in retrograde motion in an intuitive and imaginative part of your chart, this is giving you permission to slow down and follow your heart. Yet Monday is also the start of a 10 day alignment between Jupiter in your work sector and Neptune in your career sector, for the last time here in our lifetime. Monday will also see Mars retrograde back in your financial sector, for a rare double dip visit. This will also see Mars move out of opposition with the Sun, letting things finally start to flow more freely. All of a sudden, expect things to start falling into place.
CANCER
While this is a week dominated by major events, some of them not only significant in terms of 2018 as a whole, but of the once in a lifetime variety, it is Mars who changes everything. By retrograding back out of your financial sector on Monday, this will have a ripple effect and will have positive consequences across the board. This will take away the financial pressure and tension of recent weeks, while setting income matters free just as the weekend's solar eclipse has given them the green light. At the same time, Mars will retrograde back into your relationship sector for a rare double dip visit. Not only does Mars return to find the roadblocks there when he left in May gone, but he returns just as a major alignment between Uranus and Saturn is creating auspicious conditions for friendship and relationship building. You even start the week with the Moon in your communication sector, able to give your emotional responses and relationships a voice from the get go.
LEO
Right up until retrograding back out of your relationship sector on Monday, Mars is likely to be pushing buttons and the timing couldn't be better. With Venus in her first full week in your communication sector, she's on hand to give your heart and your relationships a voice. It is after Mars retrogrades back out that this will take the pressure off you and your relationships and again, the timing couldn't be better. Mars has been a thorn in your side throughout your birthday month, but his departure just two days after the weekend's solar eclipse in Leo, finally gives you a chance to turn your focus back onto the last full week of your birthday month. In the meantime, Mars returns to your work sector to make already stunning conditions in play across the income, work and career fronts even more stunning. Across both the career and job fronts, this is a rare opportunity for a do over.
VIRGO
Starting the week with the Moon in Virgo will always be an advantage, giving you an intuitive edge from the get go. And in what is both an exciting and diverse week, the timing couldn't be better. This is the Moon's first visit to Virgo since Venus left last week and the last before the Sun returns next week, to begin your birthday month and new solar year. For that reason alone, this is a valuable chance to regroup. This also gives you an intuitive edge as Mars retrogrades back out of your work sector, with a chance to let things settle back into a fun, playful, romantic and creatively charged part of your chart. This comes just as Monday marks the start of two powerful alignments, one auspicious for friendship and relationship building and the other for adventurous, fun, playful, romantic and creative matters. Mars returns to the right place at the right time, with a rare opportunity for a do over.
LIBRA
Across the board there will be a very different feel to not just this week, but the year itself or will do, once you get past Monday. Mars has been an antagonist over recent months, creating pressure and roadblocks. Yet after nearly three months in a fun, playful, romantic and creative part of your chart, Mars has been fighting anything that has stopped you from fully embracing your romantic and creative passions. Mars leaves just as Venus, planet of love spends her first full week in Libra, leaving matters of the heart in safe hands. Mars in turn returns for a rare double dip visit to your home and family sector, with an opportunity for a do over, to finish projects or to just make up for lost time across the home, family and/or property fronts. This is an auspicious week for home, financial, income and job matters, but bigger than any one thing is a drop in pressure.
SCORPIO
To have Mars, warrior planet of the cosmos retrograde back into your communication sector is rare, having last happened in 1954. This makes the fact that Mars retrogrades back in on Monday, the same day that a once in a lifetime alignment between Uranus in your relationship sector and Saturn in your communication sector begins, beyond a coincidence. This was always going to be not only an auspicious week for communication and relationship matters, but the start of a month long alignment and powerful window. With both Uranus and Saturn in retrograde motion, there is a lot of focus on the past and second chances and especially on giving your relationships, the past and unsaid words a voice. To have Mars retrograde back in just as this starts, gives you the means to push through old barriers. This comes just as professional pressure drops back and the weekend's solar eclipse can finally get things moving.
SAGITTARIUS
Things get a lot more exciting across the income, work and career fronts this week, with the right conditions coming together at the right time. It is less the individual developments and more the sum of everything coming together, that not only creates an auspicious week on all three fronts, but changes the dynamics of this professional and financial year. Starting the week with the Moon in your career sector will ensure your professional instincts and imagination are fuelled from the get go. This comes just as new career developments are unfolding. Yet this will ensure you're paying attention as Mars retrogrades back into your income sector on Monday and as a major, month long alignment between job and income forces begins. Yet with the Sun in his last full week in an adventurous part of your chart and feeling energised from the weekend's solar eclipse, life won't suddenly become all work and no play.
CAPRICORN
A number of big events dominate the week and the early part of the week in particular. Monday marks the start of a 10 day alignment between Jupiter and Neptune, with the planets of luck and dreams coming together in a way that supports personal and professional networking, talks and communication across the board. Monday also marks the start of a month long alignment between Saturn in Capricorn and Uranus, in his first full week in retrograde motion in an adventurous part of your chart. Yet the biggest event by far is Mars retrograding back into Capricorn on Monday, for a rare double dip visit. This is the first time that Mars last left Capricorn, did a U turn and came back since 1954, with a rare opportunity for a do over. At the same time, by retrograding back out of your income sector this will see financial tension drop back, allowing income and money matters to thrive. At the same time, there are some exciting developments on the career front.
AQUARIUS
This week has a bit of everything. At the same time that Neptune and Jupiter come together to create an auspicious week for income and career matters, there is also a chance to pull back and recharge your batteries. At the same time, as she spends her first full week in an adventurous part of your chart, Venus is bringing a new sense of adventure into play. However, by far the event that will have the biggest impact is Mars' departure from Aquarius on Monday. Mars isn't leaving by moving on, but instead by retrograding back out. This means he'll not only return next month, but to start over from the beginning again, with an opportunity for a complete do over. In the meantime, this will take the pressure off you and your relationships, just as the weekend's solar eclipse has given your relationships a lift. With Mercury in retrograde motion here until Sunday, as the pressure drops there is a chance to give your relationships, the past and unsaid words a voice.
PISCES
When Mars leaves a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart, it is nearly always to return to Pisces, bringing a nearly two year Mars cycle to a close and starting another. However, when Mars leaves on Monday, it won't be to return to Pisces, but instead he will retrograde back into your sector of friendship, teamwork and networking. Yet rather than being disappointed, this will have positive implications all round. The immediate implication is that this will take the pressure off the Sun in your work sector, clearing the way for the weekend's solar eclipse there to gain some real traction. This will also see a need for time spent navel gazing end, giving you more energy and bringing you back into a more socially engaged atmosphere. A drop in work tension and job pressure and a rise in energy will do wonders for your spirits, in what is destined to be a good week all round. |
