Your weekly dose of astrology

Aries
Listen to the important people in your life who comment upon what you are doing. You have significant power now and could readily run over those you care about like a steam roller.
Allow the “other” equal space or there will be pay back time later when the power is on the other side.
Taurus
Venus, your ruling planet, moves into the sector of life related to children, recreation, and romance. The goddess of love is happy in this territory and often brings new energy and light wherever she goes.
Your opportunities to share your love, personal or humanistic, will be rewarding.
Gemini
It is of paramount importance that you control your mouth this week. Although you have an opinion about whatever is happening, let it go and say nothing unless asked for it. Being “right” is not as important as maintaining human relations.
Cancer
Because you are moon-ruled, your moods are prone to ebb and flow with the tides.
This is hard for children and adolescents, but adult Cancerians eventually learn to ride the emotional flow up and down more easily. A great increase in communications is in the cards.
Leo
You want to make a grand gesture, but the cost may be too great. It is best to proceed with general routine. Maybe you could offer a service instead of giving an expensive gift. You have a creative talent. There is a workaround to whatever may be holding you back.
Virgo
There may be a crisis with your children or a lover this week.
There are elements of obsessive thinking and criticism involved. Be intentional about keeping an open mind and don’t insist on a black and white answer.
Ultimately this situation is about necessary change and growth through metamorphosis. Pretty words, but not a lot of fun.
Libra
You may hear unfortunate news this week about a family member or someone from your past. It may bring up a resentment you put away a long time ago.
This kind of feeling has energy and needs to be expressed. Maybe you should talk to someone you trust or write in your journal. See a therapist if necessary.
Scorpio
Think carefully about what is truly important to you now, at this time in your life. Don’t allow old habits or rules from the past to make your decision for you. If you do let that happen, you will truly resent the outcome. Rise above your circumstances to a level that can see beyond your ego and the situation becomes more workable.
Sagittarius
Your exuberant heart wants to reach out in a wide circle, but a controlling power in your life is preventing you from taking action.
You may feel you do not have the internal or external resources required to give what you desire. Search your religion or philosophy to find assistance.
Capricorn
The pressure of pending change is making itself known in your work arena. The fulcrum is a situation that may no longer be tolerable. It is true that change is absolutely necessary, but perhaps a shift to a totally fresh solution would take the emotional sting from the situation.
Aquarius
Listen closely to your inner self. If you have tolerated a rule well beyond its time, you may rebel and demand to do something different now. This is so even if you are the one who made the rule. Surprise, changeability, and general rebellion are the qualities prominent during this period.
Pisces
You may be feeling moody. If you are a woman you may also be gaining temporary weight.
You and everyone around you may be excitable now. Ground yourself with exercise or some kind of project that keeps you in touch with the earth.
