Be Careful What You Wish For

Your nerves feel frayed during the coming week. It would be nice to take a vacation but that may not be possible. Try to focus on the important things and forget about the annoying details. These details will resolve themselves. You feel like you are being pushed but it may be that you are the one who is pushing. Ease up on those around you and let them take a breather from the hectic pace that is dominating the world scene.

Jupiter and Neptune are retrograde and are in Aquarius. It’s as if you are seeing things through Alice’s looking glass. Or maybe it’s like looking at your fantasy through a rear view mirror. In any case, don’t become disoriented. Look ahead to saner times when things will appear more real. You are struggling to create balance in your life and it is a very difficult task at the moment as there is a lot of drag to contend with. In the coming month things will be more harmonious.

Both your conscious and unconscious are undergoing tension so stay active and don’t think too much. Doing is the best medicine. What you have in mind may be too expensive. Explore alternate possibilities to obtain the best results. Be open minded even when people seem to oppose you. Fake it if you must. Being agreeable scores big points and assures future cooperation.

Hindsight Is Always 20/20

Hope that you’re not planning to neglect any important details because that will cost you in terms of time and money. Read the fine print carefully before signing. The Sun, Mercury & Saturn are conjunct in the sign of Virgo and this will keep your attention focused on the little things. It’s these little things that can turn any experience upside down if you don’t stay vigilant. Uranus in Pisces is opposing this trio of planets so you can expect some pretty irrational behavior coming from some people. The best approach is to ignore them and be engaged in your own agenda.

The Moon in Libra wants to assure that you will have a harmonious relationship with others that you are dealing with. This may not be altogether possible as you need to react decisively to problems that emerge. This unfortunately reduces time and diplomacy in your actions. Some people are going to feel offended or slighted.

Mars is in Cancer adds an emotional aspect to your thinking. Try to separate fact from fiction in a cool headed way. Moodiness is not going to be well received in a professional atmosphere. Consistency of temperament and clear thinking will attract the needed support for your projects.

Remember the old adage, “people who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.” This will curtail any temptation you have to “tell it like it is.” The greatest power is power over yourself.

Put A Little Pepper In It

This week teeters on a one legged stool. Beware of impetuous behavior that could bring a well planned project down in shambles. Many resources can be tapped to keep things moving in a positive direction. Make sure to take your time and think twice about any spontaneous thoughts that may come to mind. Your thinking will undergo some important changes at this time. This will result in good quality work and diplomatic approaches to problem solving.

Make sure that you base your thinking on cold hard facts and not some unsubstantiated data distributed by the fringe. Confront your resistance to suffering as this is an important aspect of life that should be incorporated into the personality. Overcome resistance to change and show that you have the fortitude to get things done.

There will be many accomplishments during the week as long as you stay focused on reality. Don’t allow yourself to indulge in fantasy and overexpansion. Your home life may be disrupted by unexpected news that creates extra chaos during this coming week. Keep you own situation at the forefront of your thinking and let other people do their own rationalizing.

The sky is bursting with aspects that make for a very busy week ahead.

Different Dynamics

Except for the opposition between Uranus and Saturn which threatens to upset everyone’s plans, there isn’t a lot of quality communication going on. It’s hit or miss and it’s very hard to hit a moving target. There are too many elements competing to get a consensus. You will have to settle for something cobbled together at the last minute. This may all seem rather chaotic but even chaos has geometry.

The planetary influences have you reacting to every slight. A thick skin will come in handy during the week. You have to control yourself as that is where the real power is.
If you can ignore the noise that surrounds you it won’t be so intolerable. Create you own atmosphere by concentration and don’t allow anyone to spoil it.

You feel that you are being pulled in many different directions. Don’t go where you don’t feel comfortable. Use your instincts to help you make the best choices of company.
When you surround yourself with optimistic people it helps your overall mood. Be your own friend. Loose ends are everywhere. Tie them up when possible but don’t be frustrated if some projects have to be put on the back burner.

All in all, this week trends toward a nervous disposition. Be brave, this too shall pass.
