The Week Ahead

Monday 8th through Sunday 14th March

ith Mars at a standstill in opposite sign, Leo you may find relationships with certain significant others a challenge! But the good news is that the warrior planet goes forwards from Wednesday so closure on a situation that dates back to last October is in sight. But it’s unlikely to happen immediately as Mars takes several weeks to get back up to speed. Meanwhile Venus in compatible Aries continues to smooth your path with those you’re in everyday contact with; any stumbling–blocks you encounter are only temporary. With the Moon in your sign, Thursday through Saturday belong to you.

Your personal new year

elcome to your personal new year, which began with the Sun going into your sign on 20 January. Companionable Venus is close by, easing you into the first couple of weeks of a year that will see you move into exciting new territory.

Jupiter’s just departed your sign, bringing to an end 12 months that’s likely to have seen you expand your horizons in some sense or other; now the planet of excess and opportunity moves on to the money sector of your chart, meaning that the stuff none of us can do without should be in more plentiful supply. But watch a tendency to splash out on things you may not really need, or an overweening confidence that inclines you to underestimate the risks of an undertaking.

On 6 June Jupiter enters compatible Aries, preceded a few days before by Uranus, the planet that rules your sign; this is a hot spot of the year and is likely to see an explosion of activity involving new friends and groups of people. You may not be able to keep pace with yourself, there’ll be so much happening. But it’s all very stimulating.

Meanwhile Mars continues to travel backwards in opposite sign, Leo: you’re on a journey with someone (it began mid—October of last year) but you move on from 9 March. Saturn is also currently in reverse gear (until 30 May) which probably means you’re consolidating work begun towards the end of 2009. You may have to retrace your steps to some extent but it’s all the better to go forwards from September.

The New Moon in your sign on 14 February puts you on the starting block for a year that promises the resources you need to realise your dreams and ideals.
