Midweek sun, new moon, Mercury, north node and spring equinox all in Libra highlight the powerful potential for peace in our world – which begins at home. With ourselves…
*ARIES: One of Aries' finest attributes is simplicity in the best sense of that word: the ability to connect with essentials in an uncomplicated way. The downside of which can tend towards being a little, well, simplistic. This week asks you to abandon any residual naivete you might have concerning your world and the people in it.
*TAURUS: While unexpected expenses might have you out of sorts, look at it this way: spring's sprung and this week's on your side as ideas thrive, opportunities come alive and your energy's in overdrive. Now we're into the month of beauty-lovers, looking your best brings success, so dress to impress – everyone else is.
*GEMINI: Midweek spring equinox in the sign of the scales, day and night, dark and light in equal proportions make this one of the year's best times for considering how all your various skills and interests could be combined to work together in a mutually supportive and balanced way. Caution: illuminating insights highly likely!
*CANCER: You're adept at adjusting to other peoples' moves and needs. And if you've been dancing as well with your own shadow side over the past few months (tricky, to say the least), this week's new moon offers either reconciliation or healing closure to a painful situation. Followed by the welcome renaissance of a fresh startup…
*LEO: With weekend Leo moon backed up by a feisty trifecta of Mars, Jupiter and Uranus all in fire signs, you might breathe flames like an archetypal dragon, leave burning bridges in your wake. Or else (more your majesty's style) use the present diplomatic energy to broker the best and fairest compromises for all concerned.
*VIRGO: While recent reevaluations brought new resolutions, this week's astral coordinates make balancing economic, intellectual, personal, family and office politics marginally easier. While others mightn't be as decisive as you'd like (changing their minds, spinning their wheels, wandering off track), this week responds best to your perfectionist selves taking it easy and being pleasy.
*LIBRA: Mercury, midweek sun, new moon and the vernal equinox all in Libra make this a peak week for you Venusians, and a supremely flirty one. Though not all fizz and kisses when late week's challenging Jupiter/Uranus alignment isn't in the mood to negotiate. But hiccups aside, you're in for a pleasure-plentiful time.
*SCORPIO: Your co-rulers Mars and Pluto sashaying into new positions morph this week into a spring carnival of frisky pheromones, a spirit-lifting wildfire mix of new possibilities. Though you're trigger-happy as a firecracker, impatient and impulsive, remember that communal cordiality and courtesy are essential. Then go cruise, schmooze and honour your creative muse…
*SAGITTARIUS: As the grand fire trine of confident Mars, successful Jupiter and experimental Uranus blowtorches your already feisty sign, remember that fire energy needs careful handling. It can be joyously flamboyant, or forcefully destructive if uncontrolled. Whatever form it takes this week will be your choice, and could include passionate inspirer, battery charger or guiding light.
*CAPRICORN: Pluto moving forward in Capricorn this week, while mainly affecting collective consciousness, also rejuvenates you personally via, in some cases, major change: of relationship, career, home or country. Besides dealings with in-laws (for those that have them), this week's emphasis is on maintaining a stable foundation or ethical philosophy to support these tectonic shifts.
*AQUARIUS: Pluto's been doing some serious subterranean excavation of your psyche lately, cleaning out long-ignored corners. Unearthing buried treasures, along with other less lovely issues to consider. If this makes you feel uneasy, try adopting the tres Aquarian attitude that your problems are already solved, but you just haven't reached that point in time yet.
*PISCES: Recent weeks have been about sorting: true from faux, past from present, what's supportive from who's not. Speech might be sweetly seductive, but remember people's actions speak louder than their words. Advertising says we can have it all, but who wants that really? This week's about choice – selecting the best and leaving the rest.
