A lot of planets are stationed in Pisces, which is affecting our dreams and unconscious minds. And just as Venus moves out of Pisces this week, the solar eclipse will be upon us. We’ll experience a partial version here on April 8. An eclipse in the sign of Aries will ignite the unconscious and bring much to the surface — if you thought your dreams were strange before, they may be even more bizarre leading up to this event.
And, yes, Mercury once again is retrograding, this time in the sign of Aries. So here is a reminder to finish old projects before you start new ones, especially you, Aries.
Let’s try not to let our tempers get the better of us. Mars is stationed in Pisces right now, which should act to cool down those urges toward aggression.
Venus’s conjunction with Neptune begins to separate, reminding us to water ourselves. By which I mean invest emotionally in your own needs and desires without worrying so much about external validation.
ARIES
March 21 – April 19
Look back and finish what you started. How many projects have been left abandoned just since the start of this year? It may be time to address any unfinished business.
TAURUS
April 20 – May 20
It’s okay to be a crybaby sometimes. There is strength in being vulnerable and feeling your emotions. The alternative is to ignore them until they push you into a destructive rampage. Don’t do that.
GEMINI
May 21 – June 20
Have you ever regretted something you said or did and wish you could take it all back? If you’re not careful, that’s exactly what you’re going to be feeling next week. Déjà vu, anyone?
CANCER
June 21 – July 22
Overthinking things may be what’s standing in the way of achievement for you. Remember the Dune adage, “Fear is the mind killer.” Are you going to let you stand in your own way?
LEO
July 23 – Aug. 22
Reach out to friends this week. I know you prefer to be the main character, but playing a supporting role every now and then is good for you and for your friends.
VIRGO
Aug. 23 – Sept. 22
If you’re feeling a lot of emotional strain right now or you’re facing a particularly difficult situation, lean on your support system for help. There’s strength in numbers.
LIBRA
Sept. 23 – Oct. 22
It may seem like you’re not getting where you want to be fast enough. That’s just because all of the substantial stuff is changing just below the surface. Growth takes time.
SCORPIO
Oct. 23 – Nov. 21
A transformation in how you assess your needs and desires is underway. That may mean some difficult lessons, but nothing you can’t handle. Pay close attention to what you perceive as obstacles this week.
SAGITTARIUS
Nov. 22 – Dec. 21
Community is important to you, now more than ever. Be charitable with your time and resources. It will turn out to be an investment in your own growth and in the community’s.
CAPRICORN
Dec. 22 – Jan. 19
Changes in your life right now could set you up to be more empathetic and caring. Whatever the challenges you’re facing, consider how they offer you an opportunity to connect.
AQUARIUS
Jan. 20 – Feb. 18
Emotional intelligence requires that you actually allow yourself to feel your emotions. And, no, telling yourself why you’re having an emotion is not the same thing as feeling it.
PISCES
Feb. 19 – March 20
Are you distracted this week? There’s a lot going on in your fishbowl and it’s easy to get caught up in the swirl. Take heart: things should shift soon.
