This week is also the first Mercury retrograde of 2018! As you may already know, a planet is retrograde when it appears to move backwards in the sky (it doesn’t actually, it merely appears to do so from our perspective here on Earth). When Mercury goes retrograde, all thoughts, communication, and technology/machines also move “backwards.” This an introspective period for everyone, we are being asked to review our thoughts and communications from the past few weeks. Technology and all kinds of machinery is more likely to malfunction or break down during this time. Be careful conducting important communications, as misunderstandings and missed messages are especially likely to occur. It’s also highly advisable to hold off on any major purchases or big life changes until the Mercury retrograde period is complete at the end of April.
This next month will be a time of renewed vitality for Aries, and there is an opportunity for an illumination of sorts. You will discover something new about yourself this coming month, but it may not be this week specifically. This week may be a bit challenging. There is an inner conflict of whether to be slow or quick, patient or impatient, to focus on short- or long-term goals, temporary or lasting, to rebel or to obey. The trick is to find the balance between the two in your specific situation.
Although Taurus is typically values peace and placidity, you’re still inclined to be more impulsive and combative for a couple more weeks. Right now you will probably seek excitement and action rather than comfort and consistency. Now more than ever, it is so important for Taurus to explore these uncharacteristic urges. Don’t be afraid to be a little risky or impulsive at this time, go with your gut and you will find treasures. Even if you get into a little trouble, there will certainly be an important lesson learned. Beware of attachment and overindulgence at this time, especially over-spending. There is a potential for profound experiences and perhaps deep transformation leading up to and including the weekend.
This week marks a significant shift for Gemini as your ruler stations retrograde. Your thoughts will now be directed more inwards rather than outwards for the next few weeks. This is a time for introspection, to think and learn about who you really are and what you truly want. You are being asked to review (and perhaps later re-do) your thoughts and communications from the past few weeks, there is a lesson to be learned. This introspection will likely have much to do with your personal experiences with love and relationship, beauty, comfort, pleasure, money, and possessions.
It’s looking like a particularly pleasant week for Cancer, a time to get cozy and spend time with loved ones. Although Monday may likely be an emotionally reactive or even explosive day, Tuesday and Wednesday are days of comfort and luxury. You may want to spend them at home. Do things to please your 5 senses: make some delicious food, listen to beautiful music, light some candles, romance yourself! Thursday and Friday are excellent for socializing or engaging in some form of communication and exchange of thoughts and ideas, it could even be something as solitary as reading a book. Over the weekend, it’s again probably ideal to stay at home and relax, but it’s also an excellent time to get together with family. Your emotions are likely quite stable or perhaps even dormant during the week, but come the weekend you may feel especially emotional.
This week brings some vigor back to Leo! You will start to feel more in your element this week (literally!) as Aries’s invigorating fire lights you up. If you’ve been feeling more uncharacteristically introverted this past month, you may now feel ready go out for some fun and excitement once again. Leo may feel particularly competitive for the next month. You want people to see that you are the best at what you do but you’ll probably feel like you have to fight for the spotlight at this time.
With Virgo’s ruling planet stationing retrograde this week, your urge to analyze, fix, and perfect the world around you is now shifting inward. Although Virgos are typically quite critical of themselves anyway, this is especially a time for self-analysis. How can you function more efficiently? What can you improve? These improvements you must make may likely have to do with love and relationship, beauty, comfort, pleasure, money, and possessions.
Although typically rather yielding and compromising, Libra continues to focus on their individual wants and needs this week. Your self-interest at this time may cause tension but it is necessary for the health of your relationships. On the other hand, you may be particularly demanding in your relationships this week, wanting more than someone can give. It’s important to exercise self-love at this time, rather than depending on love from an outside source. Towards the weekend there is the chance for deep experiences and profound transformation, either of yourself, a relationship, or perhaps your attitude towards relationship in general.
Right now and for the next month, Scorpio is rather focused on goals and responsibilities, so hard work is important to you. This can be a wonderfully productive time for you, but it’s also likely to be challenging, you may face a test of sorts. This week will be an adjustment as you balance the urge to work hard towards your goals and the urge toward impulsion and short-term satisfaction. Going into the weekend, you may feel pushed to let down your guard and open up to another, or perhaps the other way around. Utilize this opportunity to experience cathartic intimacy with another, especially through communicating deep feelings.
After last week, you may have noticed yourself settling into your introspective period. Whatever you have been exploring the past few months is now being reviewed. How has it served you and how has it not? What have you learned? You may feel especially emotional at this time and although they may be complex or unpleasant, now is the time to process these emotions rather than bury them. This is a period of powerful transformation for you, you’re in your cocoon right now, shedding everything that you’re not so that you can become everything that you are. Beware of over-indulgence and excessive attachment this week.
This will likely be a relatively quieter week for Capricorn. The long-term theme for you is revolution, it’s a chance to figure out new ways to find success while staying alignment with your truth and happiness. Use the general introspective atmosphere to ponder ways you can do that in your life. Over the weekend (but mostly next week) you may start to feel impulsive, impatient, and even irritable, but another inclination, physical activity, can help relieve such unpleasant feelings.
This is likely to be a quieter week for Aquarius as well. You should have been feeling right at home in this cosmic climate these past few weeks, and this is especially so now as we begin Aries season, you thrive in this fiery energy! Urges toward rebellion and excitement run especially high all month long. This is the beginning, the start of something new, and there’s nothing Aquarius loves more than the new! Although you often are anyway, try to be open to new experiences at this time. Especially in areas of your life where you may be a bit more rigid.
This is an especially creative week for artistic Pisces. You may find yourself working on a creative project, giving form to some idea or inspiration. This is again a particularly introspective period for you, so it’s a lovely time to go inward and tap into your unlimited reservoir of inspiration within. It’s also an excellent time to explore your dreams and fantasies, just beware of the urge to escape from reality rather than simply withdraw from it.
