Aries (Mar 21 - Apr 19)

17th and 18th are great days to plan a short-trip with family or friends. You may be feeling adventurous so this could be an action-packed week. Venus is situated beautifully in your domestic sector making this a fun-filled period. Venus enhances the feeling of family togetherness and bonding. You may also be in a mood to re-decorate or re-design your home. This may involve indulging in luxury shopping for your home. Watch out for minor haggles with a partner or loved one on the 21st or 22nd

Taurus (Apr 20 - May 20)

A health matter that may have seemed upsetting last week could improve this week. You could hear good news on the family front, but the best news is that Jupiter is in your sector of finance and money, and is blessing you with career opportunities and an ever-increasing bank balance. Many of you could be thinking of moving homes or buying property. Whatever your decision may be, you will be happy with it, and will be in great spirits. 22nd and 23rd are positive days for love and romance.

Gemini (May 21 - June 20)

You’re already loving this month and you’re definitely going to love this week. Short trips or a vacation may be lined up for you. This is also a positive time for negotiations, deals, and projects. You love learning and this is a great week to enrol yourself for a course of study or learn something you’ve always wanted to. You could be expecting guests or visitors this week, including someone you may be having mixed feelings for. By the end of this week, you’ll be feeling better about this situation.

Cancer (June 21 - July 22

17th and 18th are positive days for partnerships and love matters. If there have been power struggles or issues in the past, this week things could be resolved. You could be in the midst of renovating your home or doing some repair work, and this period should see these coming to a close. This week offers you ease of communication. Matters involving international travel could prove to be confusing on the 17th and 18th, but by the 22nd, you’ll be more or less sure about your decision.

Leo (July 23 - Aug 22)

With weddings, parties and other events lined up for you, your social life is definitely more than fabulous this week. With the Jupiter-Mercury-Uranus alliance, there could be some important people you meet who could provide you some insight on a certain confusing matter. What you may need to watch out for is over-indulging in unhealthy habits. Also, avoid late nights if you can — Pluto is in your health sector, and instructs you to be disciplined, especially this week, as Pluto opposes Venus.

Virgo (Aug 23 - Sept 22)

Money matters may have been frustrating last week with the linking up of Mars and Saturn. Partnerships — business or personal — could prove to be confusing for you on 17th and 18th, but the situation becomes clearer to you by the end of this week, as does your monetary situation. This is a good period for matters involving international travel, your career and your financials. The reason I say this is because Mercury, Jupiter and Uranus form an alliance giving you that extra monetary boost.

Libra (Sept 23 - Oct 22)

Last week may have been stressful, especially since certain ideas or projects that you may have been excited about were delayed. This week should see you receive positive news, especially in relation to new projects, foreign travels, and higher education. Any documentation or procedures that may have been delayed could be swift now, especially after the 19th. This is also a positive time for love and romance. Your social life will be buzzing with activity this week and, it’s your time let your hair down.

Scorpio (Oct 23 - Nov 21)

On the 17th, a friend could be a source of frustration, but by the end of the week, this matter should clear up. Mars is nearing your sign which could give you that extra boost of energy and determination to finish all your pending projects. But since Mars is also known to be the planet of aggression, watch out for a tendency to flare up easily. This is a good week for promotions, or better work opportunities. Money matters are also highlighted now with the possibility of sudden and unexpected gains.

Sagittarius (Nov 22 - Dec 21)

You’re riding high this week with Lady luck and King Midas on your side. With Pluto and Sun forming a harmonious alliance, your career and finances are emphasised. There could be a positive breakthrough in these areas and with Jupiter so well aspected, the joy could be magnified. These energies last for almost two weeks, so this could be spread over this period of time. On the other hand, if you have been facing conflicts with a friend or an acquaintance, this week is great for sorting out misunderstandings and clearing the air. Avoid impulsive and excessive spending this week if you can.

Capricorn (Dec 22 - Jan 19)

17th and 18th are great days for money matters. You could also be contemplating travelling to a foreign country for professional reasons. It could also be for education matters or for any matter pertaining to personal progress or development. If you are currently looking out for employment, there could be positive news August 18th onwards. If you are employed or run your own business, you will be happy to know that this is an exceptionally fortunate week for attracting high sales and profits. With so much going on you, you could be keeping your love and family life on the back-burner, ticking off your loved ones in the process.

Aquarius (Jan 20 - Feb 18)

Avoid misunderstanding a loved one on the 17th or 18th. You could be missing out on an important piece in the puzzle here, so be careful not to pass judgments too quickly. This fog will clear off by the end of this week. Work matters could prove to be a bit frustrating with the possibility of a co-worker trying to instigate you or a boss or authority figure being too rigid about a decision that involves you. This matter could see some reason or a solution on the 23rd of August. Overall, this entire week is beautiful for matters of the heart. You could even expect a surprise from a loved one or your partner this week!

Pisces (Feb 19- Mar 20)

Health matters may occupy your mind this week. You 
could decide to start a new health regime, diet, or 
plan-of-action to improve your overall health/stamina. You’ve hardly paid attention to yourself in the past few months, and 
this week Mercury could compel you to take a deep and hard 
look on what you should prioritise. On the 17th, you could feel 
confused about a close relationship or a co-worker. 18th, 19th, 
and 20th of August could bring you good news on finances or a work related matter. There could be a series of unexpected offers lined up for you this week.
