The thrilling weekend finally comes to an end and a busy week is ahead so let’s see what stars have stored in for you in your weekly Astro prediction by the World renowned Astro writer Joanne Madeline Moore.
Horoscope ( April 2, 2018 – April 8, 2018)
ARIES [March 21-April 20]
Does life feel like all work and no play? With Mercury reversing through your sign and serious Saturn sauntering through your career zone, there’s no escaping hard work, stress and extra responsibilities at the moment. So stop complaining; make frustration your friend; roll up your sleeves; and get to it! Be inspired by feisty Aries birthday great, acting diva Bette Davis “The key to life is accepting challenges … Attempt the impossible in order to improve your work.”
TAURUS [April 21-May 21]
This week it’s likely that travel plans, educational pursuits or an international venture will be delayed. Plenty of patience and perseverance will lead to a successful outcome further down the track. When it comes to a personal project, the harder you work on the weekend, the luckier you’ll be. Attached Taureans – demonstrate to your partner how much you really care. Singles – give frivolous suitors the flick. Look for love with someone who is mature and ready to commit.
GEMINI [May 22-June 21]
With Mars and Saturn both stirring up retrograde Mercury (your patron planet) you’d better gird your loins this week Gemini as a few frustrating problems head your way. And your usual breezy charm won’t work on family, friends and colleagues, no matter how hard you try. Plus avoid getting lost in a confusing quagmire of what-if scenarios and vague possibilities. Instead, be sensible and surround yourself with down-to-earth people who focus on practical solutions.
CANCER [June 22-July 23]
Mercury retrograde is causing havoc in your career zone. So it’s not a good time to initiate a professional project, apply for a promotion or look for a new job. Instead, be patient and wait until after Mercury goes direct on April 15. When it comes to a problematic relationship with a significant other, avoid being a cranky Crab! There are no quick fixes. It’s a case of one step forwards and two steps backwards (or sideways) but if you are tenacious, you’ll eventually make progress.
You’re in the mood to be controversial but that could lead to unexpected consequences. Just remember – some things are best left unsaid. It is a suitable time to look at your aspirations in a realistic way. Are you doing what you want to do? Are you heading in the right direction? If not, then make some positive and practical changes. On the weekend, ground your fiery physical energy, focus your mind, and get things done. If you put your mind to it, you’ll be unstoppable!
VIRGO [Aug 24-Sep 23]
Mercury (your ruling planet) is still retrograde and makes some very tricky aspects to Saturn and Mars. Fear not Virgo! With a patient and intelligent approach you’ll muddle through. But if you expect people to be punctual and projects to run like clock-work, then you’re set for a week of frustrating delays and disappointments. Heed the wise words of birthday great, writer and activist Maya Angelou. “If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change it, change your attitude.”
LIBRA [Sep 24-Oct 23]
Expect some drama, as retrograde Mercury stirs up issues with a loved one. So use your substantial diplomatic talents to help find practical solutions to potential problems. On the weekend, Venus/Saturn aspects encourage ambitious plans and you’re keen to impress others. But pace yourself and don’t promise more than you can realistically deliver. For some lucky Librans, a burgeoning romantic relationship has the potential to become a robust long-term partnership.
SCORPIO [Oct 24-Nov 22]
Take charge Scorpio! This week it’s important to steer clear of criticism (especially online); avoid letting negative self-talk drag you down; and stop worrying about all the personal qualities you perceive you don’t have. With Jupiter visiting your sign, you have to be your Number One fan. Confidence is the rocket fuel that will take you anywhere you want to go. The weekend is a wonderful time to re-affirm your commitment to a special person or a worthy cause.
SAGITTARIUS [Nov 23-Dec 21]
Speedy Sagittarians are in the mood to be rash! Making a snappy decision seems like a good idea but it could backfire badly. And it will be incredibly easy to put your foot firmly in your mouth (especially involving finances or friendships). So think twice before you blurt out something that you later regret. You need to be clever and uncharacteristically cautious, as you consider situations carefully before you pounce. If you work hard on the weekend, it will turn out well.
CAPRICORN [Dec 22-Jan 20]
Expect frustrations and delays, as retrograde Mercury confuses communication and Saturn slows things down. Don’t stress. There will always be work to complete and mountains to climb. But perhaps a friend or relative needs your attention and affection right here and right now? Remember the wise words of birthday great, writer Maya Angelou “People will forget what you said; people will forget what you did; but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
AQUARIUS [Jan 21-Feb 19]
Be extra careful when emailing, texting or tweeting this week, as it will be very easy to send the wrong message to the wrong person. And impulsive actions could lead to an argument or accident so pace yourself, think things through, and then proceed with plenty of caution. Family activities are favoured on the weekend, when you combine individual talents for a productive result. It’s also a terrific time to work on improving a close relationship. Clear communication is the key.
PISCES [Feb 20-March 20]
This week your self-esteem will be a bit shaky, as Saturn and retro Mercury confuse your mind and dent your confidence. You could also face a reality check when you find out that a perceived friend is actually a frenemy. Time to delete them from your daily timeline and stick with supportive old friends who trumpet your talents and support your dreams. You’re enthusiastic about a creative project but make sure you check the facts, figures and finances before you proceed.
