What's your zodiac sign? Week beginning April 23rd 2018
Aries - Matters could get intense over this week. When fiery Mars, your ruler, links with powerful Pluto in your career sector, you could have a driving urge to push ahead with a plan. And with both planets linking to jovial Jupiter, the thought of taking a big step forward might seem like the natural thing to do. But is it? It might be wiser to get a second opinion before you make your move. With lovely Venus moving into Gemini and your sector of communication on Tuesday, you will find it easy to put others at ease, and this can be useful in some of the situations you might find yourself in. Wednesday could see you at odds with someone, and you might need to compromise to make any headway. Finally, the full moon on Sunday could encourage you to splurge when a better choice might be to get a massage or spa treatment.
Taurus - A desire to enjoy novel experiences or travel could take on new intensity this week, pushing you to do something about it. You could feel quite emotional about going ahead to the point where your involvement could be a little obsessive. If someone wants to join you, this might be a good thing because he or she may have some words of wisdom for you. While encouraging, it could also put things in perspective so that you can relax and see the bigger picture. Lovely Venus moves into your sector of finances and values on Tuesday, and her presence here could encourage you to indulge in a few luxuries. If you’re interested, you might find that investing in art or antiques can bring a good return. Meanwhile, the full moon in your relationship sector on Friday could heighten feelings between you and another and make for an intense and passionate day.
Gemini - The idea of pushing ahead with something that is very important to you could move to a new level this week. With dynamic Mars aligning with powerful Pluto over the days ahead, and both linking to expansive Jupiter, thoughts of how you might benefit could fill your mind and intensify your desire. However, with so much at stake, it might be just as well to make sure that you’ve done your research. As lively Jupiter is retrograde, this is the perfect time to take stock and look to the details. In fact, this could be the most valuable step of all. Lovely Venus moves into your sign to give you the attractor factor and enhance your ability to connect and make valuable friendships. Finally, the full moon on Sunday could tempt you to indulge to soothe any restless emotions. You may find that exercise is the better way to channel those feelings.
Cancer - There seems to be a lot going on concerning your relationships this week, with the potential for certain matters to generate intense emotions. However, with lively Mars aligning with jovial Jupiter on Monday, you may not realize quite how deeply someone feels until you start talking with him or her. Keep the communication going because this can be invaluable in smoothing out any difficulties and allowing matters to proceed at a more measured pace. If you sense that someone is intent on a certain course of action, reason may not help. Perhaps you can offer your support instead. With lovely Venus moving into your spiritual sector on Tuesday, your compassionate side could come to the fore, and this could be a factor in any decisions you make. The full moon in your leisure zone on Sunday can be excellent for a social gathering or celebration.
Leo - Feelings about work issues could be very potent this week, and this could be due to a strong and assertive blend of energies. You might be eager to overcome an obstacle or see a certain result. With expansive Jupiter involved, you might even feel exhilarated at the thought of it. However, if you’re trying too hard, you may be preventing things from flowing as they naturally should. A relaxed approach could ease tension and allow you to enjoy the process rather than feel anxious. With lovely Venus moving into Gemini and your social sector on Tuesday, your social life will have some extra sparkle and be a lot of fun. You could feel conflicted about needing to work and wanting to take life easier, though. Finally, the full moon in your home zone on Sunday could bring buried tensions to the surface, so tread lightly around tricky issues.
Virgo - With the sun continuing its journey through your sector of of travel, you could be ready to book a vacation or perhaps think about how a short break could help you unwind. This could be a marked contrast to the intensity you feel concerning a creative project or even romance. In this regard, pressure could begin to build this week, and you may feel that it will be a disaster if things don’t go as planned. Would it really? Try to take a step back, especially around Thursday, when the tie between dynamic Mars and radical Pluto peaks. You might then see that there are other equally valid options. With a full moon building at this time, you could be driven by emotion, so talking to a trusted friend could help you navigate through this. There is no need to force things. If it is meant to be, it will be.
Libra - Tension could seem to rise on the home front over this week, which could be due to a merger of fiery Mars and potent Pluto. Someone might be determined to push through an idea or plan regardless of others’ feelings. However, there is also a chance that this might involve finances or a potential purchase. From your perspective, it could seem like a good idea. But with lively Jupiter in your money zone, you’re currently more optimistic about all aspects of money and spending. It might be a question of doing some research, reading reviews, and looking into whether it really is affordable. Once you and others are satisfied on this score, it should be fine to go ahead. In addition, lovely Venus, your ruling planet, moves into your sector of far horizons on Tuesday, which could hint at friendships that develop while traveling or studying.
Scorpio - You could be quite forceful in the way you put things this week even though you try to be casual about a certain issue. As upbeat Mars aligns with expansive Jupiter in Scorpio, your urge to share information could be strong. The problem might arise if you become too enthusiastic to the point of pushing others and attempting to convert them to your cause. If you want them to listen, the way to proceed is to give them the space to make their own choice. Those who are interested will stick around, and they may love your intense and passionate take on this matter. Those who don’t will drift away. Consider taking a relaxed schedule on Sunday, when there is a full moon in your sign, because you may find you’re more emotional than usual. Finally, Venus enters a more sensitive sector of your chart this week, which might enhance your love life.
Sagittarius - You might feel like gambling on a purchase this week. Whether you go ahead or not depends on how much you have to lose. Much as you may want this item or experience, it helps to listen to common sense and see how it fits into your budget. If there are likely to be difficulties, perhaps saving for it would be the better way to go. If your emotions get the better of you and you buy it, keep the paperwork and receipts so you can get your money back if necessary. Harmonious Venus enters your sector of relating on Tuesday, and this can help smooth over any issues you’ve been experiencing with others. It can also give extra energy to your social scene, making it more vibrant and fun. Look to your dreams on Sunday because a full moon in your spiritual zone suggests they could contain special guidance for you.
Capricorn - If you’re looking for support for a bold idea, friends may be only too willing to assist. However, it could seem like your attitude is very driven and a tad obsessive this week. This could be due to the presence of dominant Mars aligning with passionate Pluto in your sign. Certain people may be put off by your intensity. If you can tone it down and adopt a more relaxed approach, others may find it easier to connect with and work alongside you. Convivial Venus moves into your lifestyle sector on Tuesday, and this very sociable and positive influence can help you smooth over all kinds of situations. If others have found it hard to see eye to eye with you, you might be able to talk them around in the end. On another note, the full moon in your social zone on Sunday is excellent for a party or get-together.
Aquarius - Although you may have a lot you’d like to accomplish, an intense lineup in a more secluded sector of your chart could see you feeling quite emotional and perhaps restless. If you have something important to attend to, give yourself plenty of time. If it can be put off until next week, it might be a good idea to do so. This rather focused link between lively Mars and intense Pluto in your spiritual sector might coincide with a need to talk. Emotions could arise that seem unrelated to what is going on around you. If so, these could be linked to past experiences. Talking them through with a trusted confidant could help you feel much better. Love and romance may also be in the air as luscious Venus moves into your leisure sector. Solo? This can be an excellent time to get back into the dating loop.
Pisces - If you don’t have firm boundaries in place regarding a certain friend, you could be persuaded to do something you don’t really want to do. Even if it does seem like a good idea at the time, the novelty could soon wear off and you may end up feeling disappointed. Trust your instincts if someone offers you an invitation, asks you to help them out, or wants to date you. If you get a clear message to keep away, do so. You might want to keep your distance on Thursday, when the person could seem particularly demanding. On another note, delightful Venus moves into your home and family sector on Tuesday, perhaps encouraging you to beautify your home and do more entertaining, both of which you should thoroughly enjoy. The full moon in your adventure zone on Sunday could inspire you to do something very exciting.
