The Weekly Horoscope

Everyday Life / Profession:

On Tuesday the tension between Mars and Pluto becomes exact. That describes a moment when you can flare up again. The Moon will then be in the diplomatic sign of Libra, opposite Neptune, and slightly moderates the strong urge to act. Mercury in Gemini makes hardly any aspects to other planets, so you have little control over your words. You could blurt out something undiplomatically and spoil the mood, which you will try to set right again on Wednesday. On Thursday, when the Moon is in emotional and defensive Scorpio, opposite Mars and in a tense aspect to Pluto, there are once again critical moments you need to endure. Venus in a tense aspect to Saturn shows how difficult and painful this is. On Saturday the Moon moves into optimistic Sagittarius and offers a chance to move beyond the negative emotions. Uranus opposite helps a lot and offers all kinds of distractions. You make an effort to get the mood back on track, but you are aware that this can only work on the surface. On Sunday there is a Sagittarius Full Moon. That will show how well you have managed to straighten out the situation.

Relationship / Love:

Did you get through last week together? Has something been brewing? It looks as if a storm now needs to break, one that seriously disturbs the harmony. Is that still normal? Mars is not very often in a tense aspect to Pluto, as it is now. These are always difficult moments when you can barely control yourself. You should at least try.

Everyday Life / Profession:

On Tuesday, the tension between Mars in Taurus and Pluto in Aquarius becomes exact. You can get quite irritable if someone tries to force something on you. At the same time, you are quite willing to take risks, as indicated by Venus moving into tension with Saturn. This looks like a sacrifice. You sacrifice harmony and peaceful cooperation. You do it because it matters and because it is about more than just yourself. Pluto in Aquarius has societal concerns that you are very likely to disagree with. If you harness Pluto's energy yourself, you have tremendous assertive power. Then no one can slow you down. If Uranus and Pluto represent developments you cannot accept, you will stubbornly stand in their way. Mars in Taurus is a persistent energy that does not let go until it has reached its goal. By contrast, the emphasized sign of Gemini describes a very lively, flexible, fast energy that makes surprising turns possible and can tempt you to take shortcuts to reach your goal even faster. At work, this can mean not looking too closely, which can come at the expense of quality and safety. In such cases, you step in.

Relationship / Love:

The storms are so powerful that your tranquil relationship life suffers. On Sunday, the Sagittarius Full Moon describes a strong urge for freedom. That is not compatible with Venus in Cancer, nor with Mars in Taurus. If nobody is interested in freedom, circumstances can force you to learn to manage a necessary distance. (Venus-Saturn, Uranus on the Full Moon axis).

Everyday Life / Profession:

The Sun so close to Uranus, in the sign of Gemini, points to nervousness and restlessness. On Tuesday, Mars in Taurus forms an exact hard aspect to Pluto. It has to make something happen that you can feel. Mars loses the good connection to Venus in Cancer and can no longer take her sensitivities into account. Nevertheless, the actions and the vehement fight should ultimately benefit Venus, because she is the ruler of the sign of Taurus. As a Gemini, that may feel "too complicated" to you. But you are intelligent enough to recognize a necessity that fuels your inner drive. There are good reasons for the restlessness and nervousness. You need to get active and stand up to something. You can also do it by pulling the plug and cutting off the flow of energy. Do you need to experience such a state to recognize what is essential in life? What is essential has to do with a sense of community, which Venus in Cancer describes. It also has to do with good communication (Gemini).

Relationship / Love:

Your openness and carefree manner are appealing. However, they may be the reason why you experience something unsettling this week, something you did not expect at all. You will then try to come to terms with the situation, which is quite a challenge. The Sagittarius Full Moon feels like a spark of hope on Sunday. Then the emotional carousel is in full swing.

Everyday Life / Profession:

On Tuesday the tension between Mars and Pluto becomes exact. This sets the tone for the whole week, because it is about a show of power, or about someone taking on something overwhelming and defending their territory. In your case, it may concern you and your very existence. Perhaps you were not even aware that you were in danger. Now it becomes clear and painful. But you have the two benefics, Jupiter and Venus, in your sign. Above all, Jupiter will help you not to see the situation too negatively and not to lose hope. If you can sense and acknowledge that, you will get the "proof" on Sunday, at the Sagittarius Full Moon, that it was worth not losing heart. Venus in tension with Saturn shows that losing heart is at least an issue. This describes a situation in which you feel unfairly treated. Someone judges harshly and negatively. If you identify with Saturn yourself, you could also judge yourself negatively, put yourself down, or make yourself small. That would not fit with Jupiter in Cancer. Remember that you are an important person, that you have charm, and that you are attractive (Jupiter and Venus).

Relationship / Love:

This week will be a bit difficult for lovers. It does not appear to be your fault, even if that suspicion crosses your mind. It is more the circumstances that make life hard for you. You get pulled into situations you cannot avoid. Staying firm can be painful. If you duck out, you can expect to feel guilty.

Everyday Life / Profession:

The Sun is still close to Uranus. Mars is in a tense alignment with Pluto. Nothing can be lukewarm or cozy. You have to show your colors and be ready to fight. On the other hand, Uranus and Pluto can also be helpers if you are looking for a solution beyond the usual framework. It takes courageous vision (Mercury opposite Sagittarius-Lilith), and you could be just the right person for this. A Sagittarius Full Moon is approaching, opposite Uranus. And the sign of Sagittarius belongs to the element of Fire, like Leo. You should keep asking yourself this week: What do I stand for? What is and remains non-negotiable? And is there still a solution beyond your previous ways of thinking? Love of life and human dignity play a role here. It also has to do with something unfamiliar that should be integrated. The world has become diverse. There is room for everyone. How much space do you actually need yourself? Are your own needs falling by the wayside? That would be uncharacteristic for a Leo personality. Then you would need to let your Sun shine even more. For that you would need a lot of space. You would also get it automatically, because no one wants to burn their fingers on you.

Relationship / Love:

Venus in Cancer is moving into a difficult configuration (with Saturn). You really need to be very, very careful when it comes to relationship issues. Perhaps you are so busy with other things now that your emotional life is simply pushed to the back burner because you do not have time for it. That would be the mildest scenario. In any case, lower your expectations.

Everyday Life / Profession:

On Tuesday, the tension between Mars and Pluto becomes exact. So the start of the week is once again, or still, very challenging, because someone or something wants to push something through by force, while someone or something else resists. The Sun is close to Uranus and in a good connection with Pluto. This describes a global societal pressure for change. You may feel that some developments have advanced so far that you can hardly slow them down anymore. Many people are overwhelmed by these developments. Some simply accept them and think that, as an individual, they cannot change anything anyway. Others join forces to carry more weight together. In such situations, you may be tempted to take the path of least resistance, because you do not want to get into trouble. Yet this is exactly the moment when you need to take action and stand by your values. That takes courage.

Relationship / Love:

Venus now moves into tension with Saturn. This makes it clear that something in your private life no longer fits. It has to do with judgments as well as expectations and performance (Saturn). Does someone have to prove something? Is someone not good enough? What is going wrong here? If you cannot find anything of the sort, the end of this week will show you what you had overlooked.

Everyday Life / Profession:

The Moon moves into Libra and makes connections to most planets on Tuesday. This day is, in any case, the most difficult. It is also the most striking day of this week. You feel the contradictions and dangers more strongly than other people. You know that it is hardly possible to maintain harmony under these conditions. The question is what you will sacrifice if harmony matters so much to you. Are you aware that you are about to sacrifice something valuable? What is valuable has to do with the "ordinary" life, which may sometimes seem a bit too boring to you. The planets in Air promise something exciting, fascinating, and mentally stimulating. The planets in Earth and Water stand for what is essential for life, for the foundations of life. You could say that the planets in Air want to fly. Those in Earth and Water provide the landing places. Flying is nice, but who wants to stay in the air forever? You need liveliness and many people with whom you can interact (Air). Make sure that life is not only work, eating, and sleeping. Take opportunities to continue learning. Make use of diverse cultural offerings.

Relationship / Love:

Saturn and Neptune (opposite Libra) are like yes and no. Saturn wants to get down to business, Neptune withdraws. But you could also say that Saturn says no and Neptune simply lets things happen. The tension between Mars and Pluto (exact on Tuesday) demands a decision that will hurt (Venus-Saturn). No matter how you decide, the consequences will be tough anyway.

Everyday Life / Profession:

This week starts in a state that is almost unbearable (tension between Mars and Pluto). If you identify with Mars, you have an important mission and you stand as an individual against an entire system. Do you have that much courage and strength? Scorpio personalities tend to go all in and risk everything. Now is the perfect opportunity for that. You may feel threatened by something and see your actions as pure self-defense. Venus and Jupiter in Cancer point to values that guide your actions. Would you betray these values? Or do you have to sacrifice something so these values are not lost to you? If you identify with Pluto and Uranus, you become a rebel. That does not apply only to you as a Scorpio, but you do have this innate tendency to become very radical. That is both a curse and a blessing. You can be the hero that is needed now. Who is your role model? What can guide you?

Relationship / Love:

A lot stands in the way of your plans right now. This calls for patience and a firm will. Mars in Taurus normally has both. But now Mars is challenged by Pluto and must act. Or can you also sit out a situation like this? Your strength will lie in enduring something and simply not giving in. You need to "pull through" something and show greatness by doing so.

Everyday Life / Profession:

This world challenges you to define your values and stand by them. You are a modern person, open to many things and to everything unfamiliar. And yet you also have rather conservative values that you do not wish to betray. You know you need both: what has proven itself so far, and the new, the unknown that will take you into the future. Perhaps you are therefore the ideal person who can now build the necessary bridges and take on the role of a mediator. Wherever you see divides, you should try to find what is valuable in each and value it. Anyone who feels appreciated does not have to slip into the role of a rebel. If, however, it is a fight of little David against Goliath, you may automatically side with David to fight for justice. In any case, you cannot remain idle. On Sunday there is a Sagittarius Full Moon opposite Uranus. By then, something should become visible, a result of your efforts. You can feel free to keep fighting then. Perhaps you need an interim success to fuel your motivation.

Relationship / Love:

Venus and Mars lose their good connection over the course of the week and are both occupied with something else. They remain in compatible signs, but may simply not have time for each other anymore. Lovers may feel the same now. And here, too, it is about the values you stand by, even when it gets uncomfortable.

Everyday Life / Profession:

Mars in Taurus, in a challenging aspect to Pluto in Aquarius, describes a strong, persistent energy that now needs to assert itself. This is about a turf war and defending your property. It is also about your body, your individuality, and your self-esteem. Besides these personal themes, there are also professional and societal areas where everything is supposed to change. Do people have too many ideas? Is the familiar and the normal no longer good enough? During this time you may easily come across as a bit old-fashioned and be laughed at. That would not be so bad, because you stand by your values. It is worse if you get the feeling that you are no longer welcome somewhere and that people are trying to exclude you. That could be a reason to bare your teeth. Then you look like a lion defending its territory and risking everything. This week is uncomfortable. Venus in a challenging aspect to Saturn also signals this. On the other hand, Venus and Jupiter are still favorable for you, because they are opposite Capricorn (in Cancer), and from there they make your life more pleasant. Most of the time this happens through people who are well disposed toward you.

Relationship / Love:

Now your love life also has to suffer under the general conditions. You may have to show more toughness than you would like. If that is the case, it is pure self-protection. Something has to be brought to a head now. This may be because someone keeps trying to evade their responsibility. You will no longer tolerate evasive or diversionary tactics.

Everyday Life / Profession:

The tension between Mars and Pluto becomes exact on Tuesday and galvanizes you. Mars in Taurus does not provide quick energy, but endurance, staying power, and resilience. Since you are quite rebellious at the moment, you can make good use of this power. But you may also experience it as a problem if your projects are not well thought through and planned. Then Mars points to necessities and very real circumstances that you have overlooked. Sometimes it is also people whom you have not appreciated because they do not fit the plan. Whom or what are you excluding in your plans? Is there anyone you do not allow to have a say at all? How does that fit with your ideals, which you like to talk about and through which you feel connected with your peers? In addition to Mars in Taurus, Venus and Jupiter in Cancer are also indications of an imbalance and unequal treatment. Can you see that? Would you like to do something about it? Would you have to swallow your pride or make a U-turn to do so? Mars-Pluto is a constellation that can force us to transform.

Relationship / Love:

Does your partner need just as much variety as you? It could be that the needs are very different and that you have begun to suffer because of these differences. Who is suffering more? If you understand why you cannot find common ground right now, you will certainly find a solution. You are very inventive and creative at the moment. You need to think outside the box (i.e. first recognize that it is a box).

Everyday Life / Profession:

Jupiter and Venus in Cancer are feel-good planets. Unfortunately, Venus is now moving into a challenging aspect to Saturn and it signals discomfort. This has to do with judgment and disparagement to which you feel exposed. Mars in a challenging aspect to Pluto (exact on Tuesday) also indicates a difficulty. It is about power plays that become explicit after you have already sensed them under the surface. You have no desire to be told what to do, but that is exactly the issue. How would you like to respond? How can you defend yourself? Mars and Pluto are in Fixed signs, where you can be very persistent because you know exactly what you want to achieve. If things blow up on Tuesday, even the harmony-loving Libra Moon will suffer (in a challenging aspect to Venus and to Jupiter on Wednesday). Once a necessity is recognized, the Scorpio Moon will put you in a sensitive state from Thursday onward. You react sensitively and feel attacked quickly. You tend to be mistrustful. This may be important in your case, because you tend not to be mistrustful enough. That will be balanced out. With the Sagittarius Full Moon, you spread good cheer on Sunday. It comes as a surprise.

Relationship / Love:

Mars in Taurus, in a challenging aspect to Pluto, gives you a realistic view and can make you stubbornly defend your position or your territory. People rarely experience you like this. This is about your self-esteem. It is also about your needs and your personal taste. If someone does not respect your needs, you will withdraw. With this stance, you already command respect.
