General Tendencies

Everyday Life / Profession:

On Monday, the square (tension) between Mars and Neptune becomes exact, with Neptune in Aries, where Mars is at home. So you do something that is in Neptune's spirit, and that has to do with the community. With Mars in Cancer, you are called upon to care for the family or for other people as if they were family. You should look after one another and try to understand the needs of others. Venus forms a beautiful connection to Jupiter and Mercury, as well as opposing Saturn. This triangular connection confirms that people are making an effort to care for one another and, if necessary, temporarily set aside their own needs. The whole thing seems quite sensible but also loving. If you do not feel any love within yourself, you could well stumble now, because everything you touch may slip from your hands or lead to failure. Real egomaniacs, however, will reinterpret everything, deny the truth, and try to muddle through. That may still work for a while, but last week's Leo Solar Eclipse has forecast an end for egomaniacs. The Moon moves from harmony-seeking Libra (Monday) through truth-loving Scorpio and, in the process, comes into tension with the planets in Leo (Tuesday, Wednesday). This will become uncomfortable for all those who feel too sure of themselves. On Thursday, the Moon arrives in Sagittarius and spreads hope for justice.

Relationship / Love:

With a little goodwill, you can now get along well with each other. However, you must not set your expectations too high. Your partner's weaknesses remind you of your own. If you do not know your own weaknesses or do not want to accept them, you could have a few problems this week. Some relationships work as long as you do not address the weaknesses.

Everyday Life / Profession:

Mars in the sensitive sign of Cancer has a harder time than usual being in its power. However, you can also make use of this sensitivity and show the people around you how much you love them or how much you are willing to do for them. Then Mars in Cancer (in tension with Neptune in Aries) is no problem at all. On the contrary. Neptune in Aries wants to encourage charity, and it can do that best with Mars in tension. This can very specifically involve family members but also larger groups. If you were to ask Neptune, it should even involve all of humanity. That would mean: no more wars, no racism, no imperialism, no more plundering of other countries and people. What a dream! And yet we all dream it (at least the vast majority of us). You could now get involved in a peace movement. But that does not have to be the case. What matters is that you recognize that peace begins with you. What is the state of peace at home? You must begin your peace work with those closest to you. And of course, you must first find peace within yourself.

Relationship / Love:

Mars in Cancer promotes small, cautious, and considerate steps. You can achieve a lot with small gestures, as long as they come from a pure heart. You now need to approach each other with a great deal of patience and forbearance. If you truly love each other, that should not be a problem at all. Problems arise only where you have too high expectations of the other person. Gratitude for what you already have helps in such a case.

Everyday Life / Profession:

Chiron recently reached Taurus after traveling through Aries for about five years. This minor planet describes a sore spot that you (and all of us) will "work on" over the next few years. In your case, this sore spot has to do with your existence, your being in this world, and your body. So it also has to do with your health and your appearance. How materially secure are you? Where do you stand in the world? What do you think of the world? Do you fit into it? How do you feel within your body, and how beautiful do you find yourself? It can also be about how well you can assert yourself in life. This week, assertiveness is a bit difficult (Mars-Neptune, Mars in Cancer), but the constellations never describe only a difficulty. They also describe an opportunity. If you take this seriously, it is an appeal to your good nature, your interest in other people, and your willingness to help someone when you see that they are in need and you are able to help. Venus in Libra has connections to Mercury, Jupiter, and Saturn, and more loosely, also to Mars. It's worth considering everything personal from a social perspective. Every individual person does something for the community, in their own environment. Most of us do not have more power than that, but this small contribution is more important than people usually think.

Relationship / Love:

Are you currently more reasonable than your partner? It looks a little as if you have to meet obligations and keep your partner waiting. You can also ask what is more important to you: the relationship, or family, or your apartment, house, or garden? You are setting your own priorities. After all, you do not have endless time and energy. If you explain this calmly, your partner will understand.

Everyday Life / Profession:

The "open envelope" is still clearly visible. On Friday, thanks to the Sagittarius Moon, a third kite figure joins the other two, with Uranus (in Gemini) at the apex. This once again concerns the information that has spilled out and the big picture that is gradually emerging. Mars in tension with Neptune must live up to Neptune's ideals. Neptune's ideals are the connectedness of all people, altruism, benevolence, peace, and lived spirituality. If you do not respect these ideals, you have no energy. Then you lose yourself in everyday clutter, your habits and comforts. The Leo sign is still emphasized. Together with Neptune and Saturn in Aries, this creates quite a lot of Fire, and on Friday and Saturday with the Sagittarius Moon, even more Fire. Where can this desire for life and adventure go if your energy runs out? You can consume a great many news items or films as a substitute for your own adventures, but does that make you happy? Venus in Libra does not really want to be fobbed off with something inferior. Come up with something exciting and meaningful!

Relationship / Love:

Venus is still dreaming and would like to see a result this week. Mars will try hard, and it will actually cost him some effort, because he now quickly becomes uncertain or distracted. Venus needs a little patience. Who is Venus? Who is Mars? Are the roles clearly assigned? Can you stop having expectations and unsettling each other? No one is perfect, you know that.

Everyday Life / Profession:

The tension between Mars and Neptune has become exact. The tension between Venus and Saturn will be exact on Friday. This looks like a sobering moment after you previously had great hopes or expectations. Do you have to disappoint someone? Did you overestimate yourself, or did others overestimate you or ask too much of you? Mars in Cancer indicates your efforts, but in the sign of Cancer, you can never be as fast as you are used to with Mars. The connection to Neptune intensifies the difficulties. Perhaps you keep getting distracted from your goals or feel pressured by expectations that are too high. That does not feel good. At the same time, the planets in the sign of Leo describe pride, and if you feel that pride, things will not become any easier. Then you feel wounded in your pride and cannot easily admit your own weaknesses. Last week, you already had a situation in which something did not fit together. That is still the case. You should focus on what you truly do well and, at the same time, practice modesty, because right now you cannot be as strong as you would like to be. In addition, you are now being asked to be especially empathetic and notice when others are not doing well.

Relationship / Love:

Venus, through her connections, indicates that someone is seeking security. You want to be able to rely on each other. You feel affected and would like to show how important the relationship is to you and how much you are willing to give. So you should do something to make your partner, and yourself, feel good. It does not have to be much. A small, very honest gesture is enough.

Everyday Life / Profession:

Jupiter in Leo moves into a good connection with Saturn and Venus, once again giving you a special social role. People cannot overlook you and take you seriously. Perhaps you have a solution ready that people have been waiting for. But how attractive can the solution be when our fighter Mars is so "weakened"? Does someone have to admit their weakness? Does another party then benefit from it? You find soothing words and may try to conceal the weakness (Mars-Neptune). Your solution may be a compromise (Venus is involved) that is marketed quite well and therefore also accepted. You emphasize the positive so strongly that it simply seems convincing. Through your special role and your diplomatic skills, you gain considerable prestige. If you do not hold a social function, you will become aware of one during this time. After all, what is not yet can still become! You are in a personal growth phase. During last week's Solar Eclipse, your Leo personality was activated, and you are probably aware that this may be connected with an outstanding social role or a leadership position.

Relationship / Love:

How well can your partner deal with your greatness? You are now so outstanding that your partner needs very healthy self-confidence to feel comfortable by your side. You enjoy being admired, but you also like to admire your partner and present yourselves in public as a wonderful couple. Anyone who cannot keep up with you will now be tempted to cheat a little.

Everyday Life / Profession:

The Leo sign remains important, even when the Sun enters Virgo on Sunday (which is certainly positive for you). With the emphasized Leo sign - and Jupiter in it - pride plays a role. You could ask yourself what you are proud of, and the answer would probably have to do with your work and your sense of responsibility. You could also ask yourself whether you enjoy your work or whether fulfilling your duties is a little too much (?) in the foreground. Venus in Libra, in connection with Jupiter and Saturn, is an invitation to become aware of the pleasant aspects of your life. This also includes material security. If you are secure, you can sit back and relax. If you are not well provided for, you will now think about what you could do about it. If you have recently been watching everything as if from the outside and without getting involved, that will change on Sunday. The Sun in Virgo and the Moon in Capricorn let you feel your personal responsibility. The Sun is also in tension with Uranus then, indicating that you are wide awake and attentive. Perhaps this week provides good reasons to come out of your shell.

Relationship / Love:

Through its connections, Venus indicates that you do not want to remain stuck in your daydreams. It is about time you got your money's worth and did not settle for less than you deserve. Do you feel your pride, your dignity? This is important so you can get moving, take yourself more seriously, and present yourself to your partner accordingly.

Everyday Life / Profession:

Venus in Libra has connections to Jupiter and Saturn, two planets that indicate social relevance. Your small, subtle efforts or hints fall on fertile ground and receive consideration. You get support if someone does not want to take you seriously. This confirms that maintaining contacts with influential people is worthwhile. If on Sunday you feel that you have done everything right, your life will become somewhat more orderly. Then you quite suddenly have new energy and see things in a different light (Sun-Uranus tension). Mars in Cancer describes small steps that seem insignificant but are important and, taken together, change the whole picture. The big "fuss" of the planets in the sign of Leo can only work if many small levers are set in motion. Perhaps it is also time to expose the big fuss for what it really is: froth. With Mars in tension to Neptune, you can indeed produce a lot of froth - froth or fog or dream images that do not stand up to reality. But you can also use it to bring dreams into reality if you work on them long and patiently.

Relationship / Love:

You have just experienced how your mere presence creates a special effect. You enjoy that. So you are happy to add a little more and enjoy the moments. In doing so, you must withstand a critical gaze. The more you succeed at this, the more likely this gaze will turn into a gesture of appreciation. What you think of yourself is reflected back to you.

Everyday Life / Profession:

The tension between Mars and Neptune has become exact. It describes uncertainty in actions or decisions, while there is also the possibility of deliberately deceiving someone or making excuses. This does not fit the love of truth that Mercury displays in connection with Jupiter. Or is it all just a show? On Tuesday, the Moon moves into the sign of Scorpio and activates Mars and Neptune. If there is something to hide, you know exactly how to do it. There is probably a good reason for it. After all, you do nothing without a good reason. It could be that the planets in the sign of Leo (Jupiter, Mercury, and the Sun) do not quite appeal to you. Too much is being promised, and surely that can never be kept! Too much importance is also being placed on appearances and success stories. Everything seems so great that you simply cannot believe it. Common sense tells you that something cannot be right here. And very likely, your healthy distrust is right once again.

Relationship / Love:

Mars and Venus are still moving in a tense relationship. Venus in Libra is oriented toward ideal conditions that reality can hardly keep up with. Mars in Cancer, and in tension with Neptune, is doing its best to meet these expectations. And when that does not work, it resorts to little deceptive maneuvers. All just to please the partner.

Everyday Life / Profession:

Have you already arrived in reality? Jupiter is in a good connection with Saturn, which would indicate a sense of reality. However, both are in the element Fire (the fire of enthusiasm), so one must fear that the world is still being presented more positively than it actually is. Mars in tension with Neptune certainly cannot keep up with these "success constellations." In the sign of Cancer, Mars is somewhat awkward or slow, and Neptune also adds a lack of orientation... If everything was supposed to go brilliantly, one would have to act according to high ideals and be there for other people with complete selflessness and devotion. This does not work so well with the emphasized sign of Leo. There, the individual likes to be the center of attention and set themselves apart from others. Saturn in Aries also likes to see itself in competition and wants to be the best. Venus in Libra does have a softening and harmonizing effect, but she also flirts with heroes and winners. With the Sagittarius Moon (Thursday to Saturday), the Fire is fueled further. Only on Sunday can you feel a real sense of reality again (Sun in Virgo, Moon in Capricorn, element Earth).

Relationship / Love:

Venus in Libra, in connection with Jupiter and Saturn, describes a world of relationships that cannot be purely private. It is about representation. The partner must meet certain social expectations. This can be fun, but it can also become overwhelming if someone feels they cannot play this role perfectly.

Everyday Life / Profession:

Mars and Venus form a trio with Neptune/Saturn. This describes ideal images that you would like to turn into reality. As a Capricorn, you love clear circumstances. You want to be able to find your bearings. Mars and Neptune, however, offer only a blurred picture. And Venus tends to show idealized images. Since Jupiter and Saturn also come into play with Venus, you can assume that the experiences have something positive and concrete about them. At the very least, they bring new insight, and in the best case, a deep feeling of connection or even a source of joy. And if you also consider that the Sun enters a tense aspect to Uranus at the end of the week, you can speculate that the new insight will bring about a change of heart. On Sunday, when the Sun reaches Virgo and the Moon reaches Capricorn, you will identify a change. You will then see the world differently than before. You have a need for security. You are looking for a clear stand. At the same time, Uranus gives you an impulse to look at everything in a new way again and again, and then to find a new position. You are like a tree, firmly rooted in the ground, but the branches play with the wind.

Relationship / Love:

You were full of hope last week. Now it will become clear which hopes are fulfilled and where you had expected too much. This brings clarity to the relationship. The tension between Mars and Venus is gradually easing, so things between partners will soon become easier again. The situation needs to become clearer so that you know how to deal with the other person. You are more flexible than usual, more adaptable.

Everyday Life / Profession:

The daydreams are followed by some disenchantment. That is actually quite normal. Without dreams, you cannot develop goals. In the end, you have to see which goals you can reach and which you cannot. Venus is opposite Saturn and lets you feel where you had hoped for too much. But it also forms a good connection to Jupiter, which brings insights. Perhaps you will ultimately be grateful for one or two course corrections... Mars governs daily work. At the beginning of the week, it forms an exact tense aspect to Neptune, so you can still feel this tension quite clearly for the time being. You feel uncertain and do the wrong thing, which may later even turn out to be the right thing. With Neptune, you never know... but Neptune gives you intuition! However, this is anything but guaranteed. On the one hand, you may let your feelings guide you (intuition). On the other hand, you should keep using your mind from time to time and check whether you are completely off track. Things work best when your intentions are loving and you do not think too much about yourself.

Relationship / Love:

It still looks as if you are idealizing someone. Are you simply dazzled, or is your counterpart really so wonderful that you are afraid you cannot keep up? Perhaps you are now starting to look for faults in your partner. If you do that, your motive is self-protection. That is understandable, but it is not nice. There has to be another way for you to feel equal.

Everyday Life / Profession:

You are moving through life as if in a dream (Mars-Neptune). This is a very creative phase, in which you can express much of your inner being. Perhaps hardly anyone understands you, but that is not your problem. Stay centered in yourself and your personal concerns. A second situation is described by the planets in the element Fire. This is about your visible successes, through which society notices you and which you can celebrate. Special moments occur on Friday, when the Moon in Sagittarius first forms a good connection with Neptune, then with Saturn and Jupiter, and finally, on Saturday, also with Mercury and the Sun. You are noticed, especially for your achievements. How does that feel? Do you allow yourself to be a little proud, or are you afraid of criticism? You will feel both and should simply take it as it is. Life is kind to you, and people obviously are too. On Sunday, the mood changes, and everything becomes more serious.

Relationship / Love:

The planets are now constantly forming triangles and are well connected with one another. Only Venus and Mars are still in tension with each other, and this week a tension from Venus to Saturn is also added, cushioned by Jupiter. Interpersonal matters may not always run smoothly, but you always manage to turn things around. Is someone too sensitive? Do people take things too personally?
