Weekly Horoscopes March 5 – 11, 2018
Aries:
Your fire is back and it’s a beautiful thing to behold, Aries. You’ve been swimming in a sea of Piscean emotion for the last few weeks, so you’ll just adore the astro-shifts beginning on Tuesday. Mercury, the planet in charge of talking, thinking and texting, moves into your own sign early Tuesday morning. This is the beginning of a long stay in your stars, punctuated by an awkward retrograde phase starting on 22 March and lasting through mid-April. Take advantage of this awesome verbal and written charisma, because Venus is also moving into your sign, adding a huge dollop of sweetness and romance to the mix.
Taurus:
Everything changes this week, Taurus. The astro-vibe has been intensely dreamy and ethereal in recent weeks, especially for your social life. But early Tuesday morning Mercury (the planet of communication) shifts into fiery Aries, shifting your focus within, and making your thoughts powerful and dynamic. It’s like your mind and body are getting a fierce reboot – so you might just have to get out of the way. Note that Mercury Retrograde starts on the 22nd, so any major mental strides made over the next few weeks may have to be tweaked. But with your ruler Venus
following Mercury into this part of your horoscope, you’ll have extra sweetness and protection.
Gemini:
You’ve been caught up in a wave of immense career-oriented creativity, but the stars shift your focus starting this week. Your ruling planet Mercury, the planet in charge of all things communication-oriented, moves into Aries early Tuesday morning. This pushes you instantly into a dynamic, social phase for the next few weeks – collaboration is the key to everything you want to achieve. Just note that the second retrograde of the year starts on the 22nd, so you might experience breakdowns and setbacks in the same arena. Luckily sweet Venus will cushion the blow – she’s heading into your social zone on Tuesday as well.
Cancer:
The stars are markedly shifting the vibe this week, Cancer, and you’ll probably notice it as soon as Tuesday. That’s when Mercury (the planet in charge of talking, thinking and texting) and Venus (the ruler of love and beauty) both move into Aries. The contrast between this direct, ambitious, in-your- face energy and the soft, magical vibe of the last few weeks could be stark, so be gentle with yourself. The good news is that the next few weeks will be a boon for your career. Just note that Mercury will be going retrograde on the 22nd, so expect to make some tweaks.
Leo:
Fire is on the rise again this week, and you wouldn’t have it any other way, Leo. With both Mercury (the planet of communication) and Venus (the planet of love and beauty) heading into Aries, your sister sign, on Tuesday, everything is getting hotter in the best possible way. Your wanderlust is likely to explode in the coming weeks, but note that when Mercury Retrograde starts up on the 22nd, you might hit more than a few travel snags. Carefully research and plan any upcoming trips sooner rather than later for best results. Venus will keep things super sweet (and sexy) for the next few weeks.
Virgo:
Life is about to get mega-sexy, Virgo. With your ruler Mercury shifting into your intimacy zone on Tuesday, followed by Venus, the planet of love and beauty, your life between the sheets is getting hotter – and a lot more interesting. Mercury is in charge of communication, so this would be an excellent time for you to communicate your needs and desires to your lover. Do note that the second retrograde of the year starts on the 22nd, so things could get a bit wonky between then and the middle of April. This is precisely why you should express yourself now instead of later.
Libra:
Relationships rule your world on an average day, but this personal theme gets decidedly amplified this week. Mercury, the planet in charge of talking, thinking and texting, moves into your opposite sign on Tuesday – and he’ll be there for an extraordinarily long time thanks to a late March retrograde phase. On the very same day your lovely ruler Venus makes her way into Aries, sweetening up your relationships for the next few weeks. Romance is raging now, but note that things could get a bit wonky after the 22nd.
Scorpio:
All the Pisces energy of the last few weeks has had you swimming in a sea of ethereal romance. This week it’s time to get back down to work, Scorpio, starting on Tuesday. That’s when Mercury, the planet of talking and thinking, moves into your house of daily activities, where it will amp up your productivity for an unusually long time. This is thanks to an upcoming retrograde phase lasting from the 22 March to the middle of April, making it essential for you to achieve goals sooner rather than later. With Venus also in your work zone for the next few weeks, the fruits of your labors should be sweet.
Sagittarius:
Your sister fire sign is taking over the cosmos this week, and your romance zone is getting all the fringe benefits. As Mercury, the planet in charge of talking and thinking, dives into Aries on Tuesday, the astro-vibe gets super sexy, fierce and mega-creative. Bonus: Venus, the planet in charge of love, beauty and money, is also moving into this part of your horoscope on Tuesday. With this duo in your house of love, you’re a pleasure magnet for the next few weeks. Just note that Mercury will go retrograde on the 22nd, and it can throw a few snags in your path.
Capricorn:
With planetary energy building up in your home zone this week, expect a renewed and dynamic focus on all things domestic. Mercury, planet of communication, heads into your house of family on Tuesday, followed up by romance-besotted Venus later in the day. This is a lovely development for your closest relationships and your living space. If you’ve wanted to experiment with a new home design scheme this could be the best time of the year to take the plunge. Just note that Mercury will go retrograde on the 22nd, so things might get messy in this part of your life through mid-April.
Aquarius:
The stars are flipping the script from dreamy to DO IT NOW this week. With Mercury moving into fiery Aries on Tuesday, your communication style is about to get even more dynamic than usual. You might need to apply a bit of temperance to your tongue or else you can get in big trouble, Aquarius. Luckily Venus moves into the same part of your horoscope on Tuesday as well, softening your most biting comments. You’re just saying it like you see it, but after Mercury goes retrograde on the 22nd, you might not be able talk your way out of anything.
Pisces:
Ready to make some serious cash, Pisces? The stars want to start helping you with all your financial goals starting on Tuesday. Yes, it’s still your birthday season, but with the help of Mercury (the planet of communication) and Venus (the planet of love and money) moving into your house of material goods for the next few weeks, you’re ready to grab that cash and make a stash even as you celebrate. Just note that Mercury will go retrograde in the same part of your chart on the 22nd – get all your financial ducks in a row before that date.
