Your Milky Way Horoscope March 23-29, 2014

By Milky Way Maid

Dear Readers-- I continue to recover from an episode of blood clots on the lungs. Thanks for your good thoughts and get-well wishes. Please visit the website of the National Blood Clot Alliance at StopTheClot.org to learn more about blood clots and when you might need to see a doctor about it.

Mercury at 11 degrees Pisces trines Jupiter in Cancer at 9:11 am Wednesday. Jupiter is the higher octave of Mercury since both are mental planets; that means this should be a fine day for studies, for enrolling in the right college program for you, or for finding a teacher or tutor or guru. 

 

Mercury at 13 degrees Pisces sextiles Pluto in Capricorn at 1:30 am Friday. Mercury and Pluto together are excellent for digging down thru research files, doing forensic accounting, or any other type of detective work. 

 

Venus at 22 degrees Aquarius trines Mars in Libra at 3:05 pm Saturday. As you can probably guess Venus and Mars in any harmonious aspect favor romantic relationships, or actually any type of close partnership. It is even good for buying or selling, if they rule the buyer and seller in a horary chart. 

 

Venus at 22 degrees Aquarius squares Saturn in Scorpio at 5:14 pm Saturday. Venus with Saturn can be either good or bad; it can mean a difficult time in a relationship, or it can mean formalizing the relationship with an engagement or wedding. The square tends to accent the stresses, a separation or perhaps having to work hard at clearing up problems.

Readers can follow not only their Sun sign horoscope but also their Ascendant for further clues to how your week will develop. NOTE: some aspects are exact on a weekend but may find opportunity for expression on the Friday or Monday nearest the exact aspect. Times given are in Eastern Standard or Eastern Daylight Savings Time depending on the season.

ARIES - March 20-April 19 – Juno is aspected by Mercury on Wednesday and Friday, and errors on your part may be found by auditors or other coworkers. Take correction with good grace so that this does not happen again. The Moon is in Aries from 9:54 pm Saturday and stays thru the weekend. The Moon makes no aspects however, so you are probably free to follow your own agenda.

TAURUS - April 20-May 20 – The best time this week may be early Monday (about 6 am) if you want to reach a friend or your old professor. Friday afternoon is also favorable for you, if needing a favor from a relative or neighbor. Remember to use your best smile. Your ruler Venus is active this Saturday with a trine to Mars in Libra and a square to Saturn in Scorpio; your mate might have plenty of cash on hand but be reluctant to hand it over unless you “work” for it.

GEMINI - May 21-June 20 – Wednesday is very favorable for brainstorming regarding work, career, or financial matters. Saturday afternoon is very favorable for air signs to make time for romantic relationships; take a day trip together, make plans for the future, or just enjoy being together whatever you do. Saturday is especially favorable for Geminis to hold a brainstorming session to gather new ideas or try to predict the future. Take good notes and save the winnowing out for another time.

CANCER - June 21-July 22 – On Monday morning, Jupiter in your sign is ready to move to a foreign country, or otherwise over-react to issues with your current home. Wednesday morning is much more favorable for actually dealing with personal or educational matters, so walk into the office and ask to speak to someone about college finances or whatever else is on your mind. Your sense of well-being returns Friday afternoon, and can leak out to the benefit of everyone in the workplace.

LEO - July 23-Aug. 22 – The week is not particularly favorable for you but you tend to make your own luck anyway. If you are involved in a family business or would like to be, Wednesday may be quite significant for that. You could be asked to join the crew or staff. It'll be fun! Really! The other big trine is on Saturday and involves your mate and possibly another relative; perhaps you could get together and start making plans for the wedding, or that honeymoon you could never take before this.

VIRGO - Aug. 23-Sept. 22 – Mars in your money house gets a welcome trine from Venus the cash queen on Saturday afternoon; there is a chance you could find a way to pay off or finance a debt, so it doesn't hurt to ask. Ruler Mercury gets positive aspects on early Monday morning, very positive on Wednesday morning, and gets emotional on Friday night. Friday night is actually favorable for writing a heartfelt letter or calling someone you have been meaning to talk to and catch up with.

LIBRA - Sept. 23-Oct. 22 – Wednesday is very favorable for brainstorming regarding work, career, or financial matters. Your ruler Venus is conjunct the Moon on Thursday; ask for that favor and you shall receive. Saturday afternoon is very favorable for air signs to make time for romantic relationships; take a day trip together, make plans for the future, or just enjoy being together whatever you do. Your ruler Venus is activated on Saturday you cannot let this day go by without at least talking with your life partner.

SCORPIO - Oct. 23-Nov. 21 – On Tuesday, Saturn in your sign gets some relief from a kindly Moon sextile; maybe you can swap some work for a favor. Wednesday morning should be a great time for possibly holding a brainstorming session with creative people or brainiacs. Be sure to make good notes of even flimsy-looking ideas, because sifting through them should be left for another time. Even better would be to work on creative pursuits; take a camera or easel to a scenic place to work.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov. 22-Dec. 21 – The Moon is in Sag Sunday until about 4 pm. Early risers are full of energy and willing to go on a little hike to find signs of spring. Ruler Jupiter receives unfavorable transits on Monday morning, but very favorable transits on Wednesday morning and Friday afternoon. So keep that in mind if making appointments or walking into a business office. I do have to mention a caution for Friday morning when confusion can reign at home and even make you late for work.

CAPRICORN - Dec. 22-Jan. 19 – The Moon is in Capricorn from 4:03 pm Sunday till Tuesday night. Relationships late Sunday night are apt to be strained, but probably only a matter of fatigue, so get your rest and deal with things another time. Early risers on Monday can take care of a lot of correspondence. Mid-morning might find you over-reacting to some issues about your home. Try to relax with a nice mystery novel later in the day. Early risers on Tuesday set a heavy agenda for themselves and get most of it done.

AQUARIUS - Jan. 20-Feb. 17 – The Moon is in Aquarius from 6:39 pm Tuesday till Thursday night. False starts mar Tuesday night. Wednesday morning is excellent for taking a class or for a meeting of the minds in general. You enjoy being able to personalize a program or app that afternoon. Your energy is good on Thursday but the Moon being void almost all day does not favor new business or work matters. Venus is conjunct the Moon on Thursday; ask for that favor and you shall receive.

PISCES - Feb. 18-March 19 – The Moon is in Pisces from 8:10 pm till Saturday night. Friday is a lazy day feeling, although by afternoon you may feel like exploring new places. Dinner out with your mate is fine, but you really enjoy conversation or listening to a lecture Friday night. Saturday morning favors a serious discussion with a mentor type. Saturday might see matters related to a family business or legacy in progress.

Your Milky Way Horoscope Nov. 24-30, 2013

By Milky Way Maid

The Sun at 2 degrees Sag is square Neptune in Pisces at 12:53 pm Sunday. Ooh, Sun and Neptune together are not good. You might get lost when driving somewhere, and that is the least innocuous thing that could happen. Other possibilities include being scammed, getting sick with something that is hard to diagnose or pinpoint the cause of, or you could have your deep, dark secret revealed to the world in a most embarrassing way. Sun is also square Pallas in Virgo.

 

Mercury (direct this time) at 16 degrees Scorpio is conjunct Saturn at 8:55 pm Monday. When we last saw this aspect on Oct. 29, Mercury was retrograde. So try to recall if there were any serious discussions that day, and what the topic was. You may have more information to go on at this point, and can undoubtedly correct the data and move forward with a better plan. They are square Juno at 15 degrees Aquarius, so one partner may fluctuate between detachment and intensity, and just when things start heating up, one is called in to a work emergency. Arrgghh!! Will have to figure out a way to accommodate each other's schedules, possibly with the aid of a personal assistant. 

 

Mercury at 18 degrees Scorpio is sextile Venus in Capricorn at 9:45 pm Wednesday. Mercury in positive aspect to Venus turns on the charm, which includes perfect manners, compliments, sweet nothings, possibly a love note or two, etc. Even if you are normally unexpressive, you will be able to stammer out those three little words. You may be able to get a good recipe for a sweet treat, shared by a dear friend. You may take a short trip with a loved one, possibly to enjoy scenic views, or to check out early holiday decorations. Take a camera along, because the scenery may offer a memorable moment. 

 

Mercury at 19 degrees Scorpio trines Jupiter in Cancer at 2:24 am Thursday. Mercury and Jove are both mental planets, so positive aspects favor anything related to education, any course of study or a seminar or private study. You will pick up the material very easily. On another level, the two planets together spell joviality, having the gift of gab, so that you successfully schmooze with the boss for example at the company dinner. You are also optimistic that things will work out in your life in general. You can handle even the most difficult problems with style. Buying or selling real estate or other major investments is favored, as is handling any legal matters. 

 

Venus at 19 degrees Capricorn opposes Jupiter in Cancer at 7:01 am Thursday. In some ways this can be a sad aspect, even though the two major benefics are involved. You may be in love with someone who is far beyond your social class or otherwise unreachable, and that is truly tragic if you both decide to let love die rather than try to make it work. One can start new relationships under this transit, or look deeper under the superficial shell of the loved one. Can be a pleasant day if you avoid overdoing guilty pleasures to the point of getting sick. 

 

The Moon is in Libra on Thursday, Thanksgiving Day. We will ooh and aah at especially artistic floats in the morning parades, and later at the beautifully set table for the holiday feast. Use your best dishes and napkins to set the table, and pick up some flowers for a centerpiece. With Vesta and Ceres both in lovely Libra for the holiday, her feast is sure to be spectacular.

 

The Sun at 8 degrees Sag trines Uranus in Aries at 1:25 pm Saturday. Sun-Uranus aspects put the wind in your hair as you blast yourself out of a rut. You get encouragement or approval for your (possibly quirky) uniqueness, or you may make others laugh when making them see things from a different perspective. Be careful though, because the Sun is square Chiron in Pisces; don't fall off your motorcycle! You are excited and excitable, dancing around your new toy or exploring new terrain. Possible interest in arcane subjects like astrology, computer and other tech stuff, psychology, hypnotism, or signing up for a class or session with a practitioner.

Readers can follow not only their Sun sign horoscope but also their Ascendant for further clues to how your week will develop. NOTE: some aspects are exact on a weekend but may find opportunity for expression on the Friday or Monday nearest the exact aspect. Times given are in Eastern Standard or Eastern Daylight Savings Time depending on the season.

ARIES - March 20-April 19 – You get away with all kinds of shenanigans on Sunday. Early risers on Thursday have helpers to put on a special holiday breakfast; this is followed by making wisecracks about all the floats on the televised parades. Friday shopping is frustrating and work is pointless because you cannot get hold of anybody. On Saturday you crack everybody up, possibly by putting a funny video clip on the internet.

TAURUS - April 20-May 20 – Your mate may want to have a serious chat Monday night, so lend a sympathetic ear even though it may be confusing when he shifts from cool logic to rampant emotion and back again. You might elect to have your holiday dinner on Tuesday; the Moon is in compatible Virgo, and in nice aspect to both Venus and Jupiter. Thursday is not bad, but the table may be so pretty that you hate to dig in and break up the picture-perfect image. Let your mate sleep in on Saturday.

GEMINI - May 21-June 20 – You have a rather idealistic picture of the perfect holiday that you want to achieve for Thursday, but give yourself a break if it falls short a bit. At any rate, you will put in a lot of effort on Tuesday to spruce up the house and decorate. A rather serious meeting may be held at work either late Monday or early Tuesday. The holiday itself has the Moon in compatible Libra, so you keep the flow of light-hearted chatter going very easily.

CANCER - June 21-July 22 – Sunday's preliminary seating chart for the holiday will have to be redone more than once. You may get stressed out by too many errands Monday; take a tip from Santa and make your list, check it twice. Tuesday favors showering the object of your desire with flowers, compliments and love notes. Stick to routine matters on Friday. You may have a Saturday session with a practitioner of hypnotism, Geo-Trans, or other system that blasts you out of your rut.

LEO - July 23-Aug. 22 – The Moon is in Leo on Sunday, but is void-of-course all day; stick to routine matters. On Monday your mate addresses serious matters, which is good, but the cold logic used can be unbearable. On Tuesday you may be prevailed upon to share your secret recipe for a beloved holiday treat. Thursday is definitely a day to practice pushing yourself away from the table, lest you overdo to the point of getting sick. You laugh with pleasure Saturday when one of the kids posts a funny clip online.

VIRGO - Aug. 23-Sept. 22 – The Moon is in Virgo from 7:11 am Monday till Wednesday afternoon. Be careful what you eat at lunch Monday, lest you set off your allergies. You feel so unappreciated that afternoon. Love notes and compliments fill the air on Tuesday. Offers to help (with the Turkey Day duties?) come in Tuesday night. You may have to make another place at the table in return, tho. Pallas has entered Virgo, so you are probably the Ask-the-Expert that everyone calls for details on the correct way to prepare the turkey.

LIBRA - Sept. 23-Oct. 22 – The Moon is in Libra from 5:00 pm Wednesday till late Friday. Wednesday morning finds you energized and ready to start preparations for the big day. An agent of change may walk into your life Thursday, but don't be alarmed. With Vesta and Ceres both in your sign for the holiday, your feast is sure to be spectacular. Friday is spent ruing how you fell off your diet.

SCORPIO - Oct. 23-Nov. 21 – Thursday finds you in an optimistic mood, also eager to learn all there is to know about arcane subjects. The Moon is in Scorpio from 11:03 pm Friday thru the weekend. On Saturday someone may give you a good tip regarding a lucrative job opening; maybe you can sign on as last-minute holiday help. You enjoy doing puzzles or reading a mystery in the afternoon.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov. 22-Dec. 21 – On Monday and Tuesday the Moon is in compatible Gemini, when you probably contact everyone who is expected to attend the holiday gathering to coordinate travel and schedules. The second half of the week may find you spending as much time with friends as with relatives; perhaps there are too many miles between you and siblings this year. Stick to routine matters on Friday. A child makes you break up laughing on Saturday.

CAPRICORN - Dec. 22-Jan. 19 – You are too likely to get hopelessly lost on Sunday, so leave the driving to someone who has been at your destination many times. Tuesday is probably your best day of the week, with the Moon in compatible Virgo and many lovely, easy transits involving friends and your beloved mate. Thursday is sure to be a day of hustle and bustle to get the feast ready and wait on your visitors. Friday can be frustrating and it may be better to stay in rather than shop.

AQUARIUS - Jan. 20-Feb. 17 – Long-distance calls keep your phone busy the second half of the week. The holiday favors schmoozing with the boss, at least by making an unofficial phone call to wish him a lovely feast. Thursday is definitely a day to practice pushing yourself away from the table, lest you overdo to the point of getting sick. Saturday's Moon in Scorpio favors shopping with the help of a friend who makes it a fun expedition.

PISCES - Feb. 18-March 19 – On Sunday, you are an example of someone who does not see himself clearly, and so your ambitions could be totally unrealistic. Monday is good for facing medical test results with a cool head. Thursday may not be lucky for romantic matters. Chiron goes direct in your sign this weekend, so do be aware of safety issues re handling the stuffing of your bird, and in storing leftovers.
