Your weekly dose of astrology

Aries
You have enough energy to spare. Apply heavy muscle to exercise or a chore that needs to be done. Otherwise you may become snappy and are liable to pick a fight. Work with those who share your rhythm this week, or you may say things that you’ll wish you had not. We each have our own drumbeat and yours is no better or worse than anyone else’s.

Taurus
Your romantic side is co-operating well at this time with your nurturing side. This is especially good for female friendships. Make a date for lunch and reconnect with people you like. Communion with others will be pleasurable. Your heart will smile at the warm, fuzzy feelings.

Gemini
Your focus shifts to matters of home, hearth, and family. Things of the past may float up in your mind for reflection. If this occurs, ask yourself what you learned from the former experience. It probably would help you now. Family concerns may occupy your attention.

Cancer
Venus enters your sign this week and will be traveling “with you” through August 26, 2017. Her presence gives you an air of poise and people will simply like how you look. You may become interested in your personal appearance and make improvements in how you are seen. This is the time to try out new glasses, clothing and hair styles.

Leo
The sun returns “home” to your sign this week. You likely will find it to be energising. Now is the time to focus on new plans for this next year of your life. Take a fresh look at where you want to direct your energy. Don’t press your luck in the arenas of relationship(s). Maintain yourself within appropriate boundaries.

Virgo
Mercury travels slowly through your sign between now and the end of September. It will be going through its retrograde cycle before it moves along. Take care with any decision of importance because you likely will find reason to change your mind. New information keeps popping up to alter your direction.

Libra
This is a good time to experience a new type of activity with your lover or partner. Go somewhere different together. Make an effort to try out new restaurants or change the usual environment while you are together. Don’t just sit and watch TV, particularly if that is what you usually do. Go play!

Scorpio
Your energy is running high early in the week. You may want to demonstrate your skills and talents to others. Try to manage this without major display of ego. Avoid losing your temper lest you suffer the consequences. An authority figure might want to bring you down by the end of the week.

Sagittarius
You are working very hard to give birth to a child or a creative enterprise. The timing feels crucial. Only long-term persistence will yield results, so it is best to assess whether you have the will and the support to accomplish your goal. (Gamblers beware: Pay off your debts or things will go poorly for you.)

Capricorn
Changes may be occurring in your primary relationship. One or the other of you is probably trying to hang onto what is familiar. Changes and growth must be allowed to happen or the relationship will become stale. Let things flow naturally. Don’t jump to conclusions or make problems bigger than they are in the name of control.

Aquarius
You may be under pressure to follow through and display work that you have been doing since last fall. There is also a sense in which you have become bored with the project. Return mentally to the place you started to re-ignite your passion. This is probably not the best time to quit.

Pisces
You would be happy to take the first flight to Tahiti and never bat an eye over it. Short of that, you may be taking small mental breaks this week, with lots of daydreaming and drifting. Make notes about those things you need to remember. The brain fog might drown out worthwhile information.
