Taurus: Robert Smith

 

Weekly 11 – 17 May 2015

Aries:

There’s a lot of change in the air this week, but you may feel that for every five steps you take forward, you’re taking at least two back. Mars, your ruling planet, moves into your communication zone on Monday, generating some serious speed. Your inbox, conversations and text messages could go to previously unseen levels – you might blow through your data at record speed. There’s an edge to your communication style now, so try not to say too much too soon – or too aggressively. Sunday’s sensual New Moon soothes your soul and beefs up your bank account. You’re saving and spending in perfect harmony.

Taurus:

It’s a huge week for you, Taurus! The major event comes over the weekend, but let’s start at the beginning. On Monday Mars, the passion planet, moves out of your sign and into your money zone. You’ve been a bit more aggressive as of late, but now that drive can be applied directly to your moneymaking abilities. Pump up your bank account for the next six weeks or so (noting that the upcoming Mercury Retrograde may make things a bit messy). By Sunday one of the most spectacular moments of spring arrives – the New Moon in your own constellation. Make your wish list!

Gemini:

It’s a pretty intense week, Gemini. On Monday, Mars moves into your corner of the cosmos, bolstering your drive, and revving up your passion. You’ll be on the move constantly through June – but since your ruler Mercury goes retrograde next week, there will be some walking back – don’t expect a perfectly smooth ride. Even though the retro doesn’t officially begin until next Monday, you’re surely already feeling it. If you haven’t already, begin your backups, data-checks, and scheduling revisions this week. On Sunday a gorgeous New Moon lights up your house of dreams. Focus on your inner self, meditate, and practice yoga.

Cancer:

Be on alert this week, Cancer. Mars moves into your house of subconscious thought on Monday, tweaking your psychic sensibilities. You may feel like you sense everything in advance, and your dreams could become quite active over the next six weeks or so. Thursday and Friday could be a bit somber as the action planet comes together with serious-minded Saturn. But Sunday’s lovely New Moon in your networking zone calls for quality time spent with your favorite friends. It’s the perfect day to honor your closest connections over brunch – the longer and lazier, the better. It’s also excellent for creative collaboration.

Leo:

Mars is on the move this Monday, putting your social life on overdrive. For the next six weeks or so, all your energy will be devoted to networking and connecting to your favorite tribe of likeminded friends. It’s an excellent time for a collaboration, but note that Mercury will retrograde in the same part of your chart next week – expect delays. Later in the week Saturn gets into the mix, putting a damper on things on Thursday and Friday. But Sunday’s sweet and sensual New Moon brings back a delicious vibe; your career should benefit later this week.

Virgo:

This week brings drive, passion, and the beginning of a slowdown. As Mars shifts into your career zone on Monday, you’ll feel a sudden urgency to move on as many career fronts as you can. Use that stirring sensation to make some fast progress, because your ruler Mercury will go retrograde in the same part of your chart next week, taking you backwards a bit. Just think of this phase as the opportunity to tweak important projects. A gorgeous New Moon arrives in your house of long-distance travel on Sunday: it’s time to get on the road, or at least dream of faraway lands.

Libra:

It’s no ordinary week in the stars, Libra. Mars switches signs on Monday, firing up your house of higher thinking, adventure and travel for the next six weeks or so. This may sound exciting, but there’s a caveat. Next week Mercury will go retrograde in the same part of your chart. So you may have some big travel dreams, but make sure you check your itineraries over and over to so you don’t miss any details – and definitely expect delays. Sunday’s incredibly lovely New Moon lands in your house of sex and intimacy – make sure your lover is available this weekend!

Scorpio:

With your ruler Mars moving into new territory on Monday, you’re about to feel a major push. For the next six weeks, the Red Planet will be moving through your house of house of intimacy. This can send your libido straight through the stratosphere, and make you extra hungry for love. At the same time, Mercury will go retrograde in this part of your chart (starting next week). A whole lot of emphasis on sex and transformation is coming, Scorpio – for better or worse. Sunday brings an intensely sweet New Moon to your relationship zone – plant seeds for a new or better partnership now.

Sagittarius:

The stars are stirring things up this week, especially in your love life. Mars, the planet of action and passion, moves into your relationship zone on Monday, where he will drive your desires for the next six weeks or so. This is the part of your life that will get the most attention between now and June. Next week Mercury will go retrograde in the same part of your horoscope, asking you to review your recent relationship history. When Mars opposes Saturn on Thursday, this partnership focus intensifies. Sunday’s luscious New Moon asks you to focus on your daily rituals and health routines.

Capricorn:

Mars moves into your house of work on Monday, shifting your attention to your everyday rituals and routines. Your health is also in focus for the next six weeks or so, because Mercury will retrograde in this part of your horoscope next week. You’ll retrace your steps and simultaneously move forward between now and June. Some small details may be misplaced, but you’ll be able to adjust the overall direction of your life now – so that at the end of this phase you’ll be totally new and improved. Sunday’s lovely New Moon brings romance, love and creativity to your life – savor it.

Aquarius:
On Monday Mars (planet of action and passion) moves into your house of creativity and love. This emphasis is profound for the next few months, because Mercury is in the same part of your chart right now, but when it goes retrograde on Monday, you’ll be focused like a laser on this part of your life. You’ll probably have to review your recent romantic/creative history and you may hit a few snags. Don’t sweat it — your drive will be strong and you’ll end up with what you want, thanks to Mars. Sunday’s delightful New Moon alights in your domestic zone; snuggle with your closest companions.

Pisces:

This week has some major planetary movement. The planet of passion moves into your house of home and family on Monday, setting the emphasis on your domestic sphere for the next month and a half or so. This sensation will be amplified next week, when Mercury goes retrograde in the same part of your chart. You may feel like you’re moving forward with your family while you take steps back at the same time. The past is definitely making way for the future now, Pisces. Sunday’s lovely New Moon brings lots of potential to your house of communication: say what’s on your mind.
