The thrilling weekend finally comes to an end and a busy week is ahead so lets see what stars have stored in for you in Your weekly Astro prediction by
World renowned Astro writer Joanne Madeline Moore
Horoscope (February 20-26, 2017)
ARIES [March 21-April 20]
Rams love to rush full speed ahead but this week’s frustrating stars don’t encourage haste. Your ruling planet Mars squares powerful Pluto on Wednesday. So, if your actions are blocked or a relationship hits a brick wall, then use it as an opportunity to re-group, re-plan and re-energize. You thrive on debate and confrontation but pick your battles carefully because [in the short term] you’re unlikely to win. Compromise and a cool head will get you a lot further, especially at work.
TAURUS [April 21-May 21]
Do you secretly long to change something in your life, but it never seems to be the ‘right’ time? Stop being a stubborn Bull; digging your hooves in; and making ridiculous excuses! The message of the Solar Eclipse [on Feb 26] is to be fluid and flexible, as you adapt to evolving circumstances with the greatest of ease. Your intuition will also speak to you in a special way. So make sure you listen to the Guardian Angel on your shoulder and the important messages in your dreams.
GEMINI [May 22-June 21]
Uranus, Jupiter and Saturn all give you a welcome boost this week. Your quicksilver mind is firing on all cylinders; concentration is unusually good; and you’re keen to communicate, study and learn. [But your tendency to over-talk and over-share could get you into trouble – especially if you spread gossip.] Draw inspiration from birthday great, wildlife warrior Steve Irwin “Be passionate and enthusiastic in the direction that you choose in life, and you’ll be a winner.”
CANCER [June 22-July 23]
There’ll be opportunities to release old emotional baggage from the past. If you hold onto grudges, it will adversely affect your current relationships. So work on building bridges and nurturing loved ones. Next Sunday’s Solar Eclipse is the perfect time to re-imagine your aspirations for the future. Be inspired by writer Anais Nin [born on February 21] “Throw your dreams into space like a kite, and you do not know what it will bring back. A new life, a new friend, a new love, a new country.”
LEO [July 24-Aug 23]
Avoid the temptation to be tempestuous and fly off the handle this week. If you try to control or manipulate others, then you’re in for a tumultuous time [especially at work]. For some attached Lions – your lacklustre love life gets a welcome boost, as Sunday night’s Solar Eclipse stimulates your sensuality zone. Single Cats – a physical attraction promises passion but are you seeing the person clearly? It’s time to remove your rose-colored glasses and take a second look.
VIRGO [Aug 24-Sep 23]
The stars rev up your motor, speed up your mind and stimulate your study gene. So, with hard work and positive thinking on your side, you can climb any mountain and sail any stormy sea. But has your relationship been stuck in a time-warp where it’s been difficult to move forward? Sunday’s Solar Eclipse brings a shift in perspective, as you view your lover in a promising new light. Unhappily single? Your Prince or Princess is waiting, but you may have to kiss a few frogs before you find them!
LIBRA [Sep 24-Oct 23]
This week Mars and Pluto pair up and disrupt domestic harmony. Don’t let it disturb your equilibrium though Libra! The secret to success at the moment is learning to let go, as you keep what’s working in your life and discard what isn’t. [But you may have to lose a minor battle in order to win the war.] Opportunities for growth come from loved ones, as you realise who has your best interests at heart. It’s also a good time to express your creative side or appreciate the artistic talents of others.
SCORPIO [Oct 24-Nov 22]
Mars and Pluto compel you to remove the dead wood from your life [whether it’s a person, possession, job or outdated belief]. Then Sunday’s Solar Eclipse repeats this theme of breaking down old patterns of behaviour and forging a fabulous new course. Transformation is the name of the game, as you question the status quo and venture into unchartered territory. So your motto for the week is from fellow Scorpio, Indira Gandhi “The power to question is the basis of all human progress.”
SAGITTARIUS [Nov 23-Dec 21]
Tuesday is a terrific day to communicate creative concepts and innovative ideas via talking, writing and artistic pursuits. But avoid getting drawn into an argument on Wednesday [where you’ll be expected to defend your ideas]. Have faith in your unique talents. Your motto for the moment is from birthday great Anais Nin “You should not give anybody the power to decide what is right and wrong in your creativity.” Sunday’s Solar Eclipse heralds a fresh start involving home and family.
CAPRICORN [Dec 22-Jan 20]
Wednesday looks like the worst day of the week, when Mars and Pluto amp up your assertive and controlling side. Which could attract opposition from others. Instead of wasting precious time on pointless power games, why not grab the Goat by the horns and initiate some long overdue changes? Especially involving family, travel or education. Be inspired by fellow Capricorn, writer Simone de Beauvoir “Change your life today. Don’t gamble on the future, act now, without delay.”
AQUARIUS [Jan 21-Feb 19]
Tuesday’s Mercury/Uranus link is fabulous for social media connections and inventive internet endeavours as you talk, text, tweet and post up a storm. And then Sunday’s Solar Eclipse stimulates your cash zone. Letting finances take their own course seems tempting but you really do need to keep up to speed with money matters. If you increase your financial literacy then it will pay off handsomely further down the track, as you replace short-term whims with long-term strategies.
PISCES [Feb 20-March 20]
Stop procrastinating and instead, ask yourself an important question. Do you need to tweak your dreams to make them a more honest reflection of the real you? And don’t sell yourself short. Believe in yourself and aim for the stars! Sunday night’s Solar Eclipse is in Pisces, so you could experience the healing of a relationship or the resolution of a personal problem. The more energy, focus, forgiveness and positive intention you pour into the week, the more successful the results will be.
