you might need to see a doctor about it.
Happy Birthday to Leos
out there! More celebs with Sun

Sylvia Sidney, Cecil B DeMille, Annie Oakley, Tim Tebow, Meriweather
Lewis.
Venus at 11 degrees
Cancer opposes Pluto in Capricorn at 2:37 am Monday. Venus
and Pluto aspects sometimes affect a “soul mate” relationship.
With the opposition, there are obstacles or one party rejects the
other party. Sometimes the opposition indicates intense
soul-searching about what kind of life you want, as well as what kind
of love you want.
Mercury enters kingly
Leo at 6:46 pm Thursday. Mercury
in Leo tends to be rather arrogant – he's always right because he's
the king, you know. At any rate, when this Leo talks it comes off
sounding dictatorial, which makes communication rather one-sided and
unsuccessful. However, if one's message is couched in Leo's talent
for dramatic impact, then communication can be very successful. Leo
can sure leave a lasting impression! This Mercury also wants to hear
expressions of loyalty. Mercury in Leo does have the advantage of
combining the mind with the heart, which makes what he says go
straight to the listener's heart. With his personal charisma, he
could be a very popular speaker. Famous people with Mercury
in Leo include: author Ernest
Hemingway, Napoleon, Beatle Ringo Starr, former talk-show host Merv
Griffin, Louis Armstrong aka Satchmo, Fidel Castro, painter Marc
Chagall, baseball manager Casey Stengel, and Paul Tillich.
Venus at 16 degrees
Cancer squares Uranus in Aries at 12:43 am Friday. First,
let's be clear: Venus can be love or it can be money. Taking the
latter first, this transit can bring sudden expenses or sudden
windfalls. You may have difficulties re finances: declare bankruptcy,
change or lose jobs, or conversely, win a lottery. With love, you
may fall in love with the charming stranger or foreigner, or get a
proposal of marriage. The square unfortunately indicates too many
obstacles for this to be a lasting alliance-- maybe he/she is at that
party with another date, which he/she is eager to ditch for an
interesting dinner with you.
Venus at 16 degrees
Cancer trines Saturn in Scorpio at 6:22 am Friday.
Obviously this is related to the issues stated above under the
Venus-Uranus square. Regarding finances, it is very positive because
you are more inclined to stick to your budget, or set up a savings
plan. We find a safe investment for our money. Regarding romance, we
are comfortable with an older person, or we are happy to link up with
someone who is financially stable.
Mars at 3 degrees
Scorpio squares Jupiter in Leo at 6:47 pm Friday. Any
aspect between Mars and Jupiter can be lucky; the square indicates
that we have to make some focused effort to get there because nothing
is going to fall into our lap. We are extra competitive at sports or
in business, going deep down for that second effort that wins the
game. There may be some risk involved, such as with placing a bet on
a sporting event, or sinking cash into a start-up. We tend to win
more than we lose under this transit, so we feel we are on a roll.
On Saturday, Mercury
gets busy – it conjoins Jupiter at 3 degrees Leo at 3:33 pm, while
squaring Mars at 3 degrees Scorpio at 8:01 pm. Mercury
square Mars is very argumentative, and in Leo it takes on the manner
of issuing a royal edict! However, with the conjunction to Jupiter,
this Leo may just be right about the facts.

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 – Venus in Cancer in your solar fourth
house opposes Pluto Monday; balancing career and family gets tricky,
and you may be forced into an either-or decision. Mercury enters your
solar fifth house Thursday; try to remember to put your heart into
what you say, especially when speaking to children or a romantic
interest. Friday can be very lucky for you if playing games of chance
or betting on sports, or even if you are competing in some kind of
games. Might be best if you took a quick-pick or let someone else
invest for you.
TAURUS
- April 20-May 20 - Venus in Cancer in your solar third house
opposes Pluto Monday; balancing time for friends near and far can get
tricky, especially if you are considering a move overseas or going
back to university. Mercury enters your solar fourth house Thursday;
try to remember to put your heart into what you say, especially when
speaking to family members.
GEMINI
- May 21-June 20 - Venus in Cancer in your solar second house
opposes Pluto Monday; balancing personal and joint finances gets
tricky, and debts or loans figure into the equation. Mercury enters
your solar third house Thursday; try to remember to put your heart
into what you say, especially when speaking to relatives or clerks.
Best days are Thursday morn – when ruler Mercury helps you reach
people you need to talk to – and Saturday afternoon – when you
see the larger pattern and act accordingly.
CANCER
- June 21-July 22 – Venus in your sign opposes Pluto Monday;
balancing Self and demands by others can get very tricky, especially
if your mate demands all your time and attention. Friday pm can be
very lucky for you if betting on sports or taking some kind of risk,
so sharpen up your basketball free-throw game and team-picking
skills. You may have to accept a delay in college or publishing plans
for a couple months, until Ceres and Vesta have made things ready for
your plans.
LEO
- July 23-Aug. 22 – The Moon is in Leo from Sunday till very
late Monday. You may enjoy feeling the wind in your hair while
driving Sunday night, but watch out for the local speed trap, hmm?
The Moon is void all day Monday so stick to routine matters. Mercury
enters your sign Thursday; try not to sound arrogant, but do put your
heart into what you say. Ceres and Vesta enter your solar fourth
house for a couple months; you may spend the summer away from home,
or family members may take off for assorted jobs or courses.
VIRGO
- Aug. 23-Sept. 22 – Venus in Cancer in your solar eleventh
house opposes Pluto Monday; balancing time for friends and creative
expression gets tricky, and some friends may drop you. The Moon is in
Virgo from 11:37 pm Monday till midday Thursday. You manage to reach
friends by phone Thursday morning so touch base and confirm lunch
dates.
Your
audience is too confused for a good post-lunch meeting Tuesday. Best
day is Wednesday morn when you introduce a dear friend to a wise old
relative or neighbor. You manage to get hold of a friend by phone
Thursday morn.
LIBRA
- Sept. 23-Oct. 22 – The Moon is in Libra from 12:09 pm
Thursday till Saturday night. Thursday night favors spending good
times with boon companions. Early risers on Friday can share a
congenial breakfast while getting shopping and budget tips. Friday
dinner is at a sporting venue, which may be a lucky night for you.
Saturday shows lots of activity with friends, possibly at some kind
of fund-raising event for a non-profit. You may have to be very
strict about budgeting for the next two months and forego luxuries,
in order to pay off some debt or save for something special.
SCORPIO
- Oct. 23-Nov. 21 – Your solar ninth house is very active
this week; you may meet people from other countries or who have an
accent, and enjoy hearing their impressions of the USA. These will
probably be short-term relationships, possibly through work contracts
or something like that. Mercury enters your solar tenth house
Thursday; you could be interviewed for a job this month, or sound
like a boss. The Moon enters Scorpio at 10:57 pm Saturday. Ooh, the
midnight hour belongs to Scorpio anyway. Ceres and Vesta enter your
sign the latter part of the week; you need time to yourself, when you
can nurture and care for yourself like a hothouse orchid.
SAGITTARIUS
- Nov. 22-Dec. 21 – Best day may be Sunday although the
evening may have its ups and down, like a thrilling roller coaster
ride. Mercury enters compatible Leo on Thursday; you have to sound
confident and in command of all the facts if you go to court (or talk
to a publisher); however guard against sounding arrogant, and
remember to put your heart behind your words. Friday also throws some
surprises your way regarding friends and finances. Saturday favors a
campus visit, online if you are considering free enrichment courses.
CAPRICORN
- Dec. 22-Jan. 19 – Your solar seventh house of partners and
the public is active this week. Venus in Cancer opposes Pluto Monday;
balancing Self and demands by others can get very tricky, especially
if your mate demands all your time and attention. Best day may be
Wednesday morn when an older friend is involved. Friday may find you
getting rather too interested in a charming foreigner. Joint finances
are accented Saturday; you might serve as teller or croupier at your
casino-night party.
AQUARIUS
- Jan. 20-Feb. 17 - Mercury enters your solar seventh house
Thursday; try to remember to put your heart into what you say,
especially when speaking to business partners or your spouse. Best
day is probably Friday, when ruler Saturn is trined by lovely Venus;
you add a layer of charm to your ambition, and are able to schmooze
with the higher-ups like a pro. Ceres and Vesta enter your solar
tenth house late this week; you may be passed over for promotion, but
the time is just not right yet. Just be patient and work on skills
you will need for the big job.
PISCES
- Feb. 18-March 19 - Venus in Cancer in your solar fifth house
opposes Pluto Monday; balancing time for friends and creative
expression gets tricky, and some friends may drop you. Mercury enters
your solar sixth house Thursday; try to remember to put your heart
into what you say, especially when speaking to coworkers or people in
uniform. Best day may be Saturday when your ruler Jupiter joins
Mercury and you feel extra playful and competitive.
