Your Weekly Overview April 2nd – April 8th, 2018

Start your engines…wait, no, hit the brakes! This week is off to a jerky start as speed-demon Mars collides with Sunday-driver Saturn—a befuddling mashup that can give us all a case of whiplash. As the planets tangle in goal-obsessed Capricorn this Monday, April 2, good luck figuring out the right next step for your life. It’s probably best to just pull over to the side of the road for a few days and check the GPS! If you hit a speed bump, don’t curse it. This may be a blessing in disguise. Perhaps you’ve been racing ahead without a proper plan in place (a doubly unwise move with Mercury still retrograde until April 15). Cautious Saturn warns us that haste makes waste—is that a message you need to heed? Then again, if you’ve been stalled in neutral, Mars brings the jumper cables and gets you back on the freeway of life. Try to stay cool. By midweek, Mars will pull ahead of Saturn and clarity will return. In the meanwhile, see if you can stop fixating on the future and just “be here now.”

On Saturday, Saturn connects to a second planet, this time making a pleasant formation to radiant, romantic Venus in Taurus. Both planets are parked in traditional earth signs which might tamp down some of Cupid’s more tempestuous flames. But it’s all good since this transit can light a slow-burning fire in our hearts—the kind that can warm us through the years. Looking for love? The Venus-Saturn trine will make us attracted to more mature options. You may fall for someone a little older or who is comfortable in the role of the provider—even if you don’t technically NEED a Sugar Mama or Daddy. If an existing relationship has been rocky, Saturn lends supportive scaffolding to Venus and helps us diplomatically discuss the problems at hand. What seemed scary to broach earlier in the week may be solved with shockingly simple logic this weekend. Focus on solutions and try to remember that you’re on the same team!

And in case you’re STILL not clear about what and who is right for your future, Sunday’s quarter moon in Capricorn brings one more round of wisdom. These balancing moonbeams call for moderation. Have you raised the bar so damn high that you give yourself a nosebleed every time you reach for it? Rome wasn’t built in a day and your personal Nirvana needn’t be either. But if you’re coasting, this lunar lift lays down the gauntlet. Push yourself towards your edge. The challenge will actually make life a whole lot more exciting. While you don’t have to go to extremes (this is an equalizing quarter moon, after all), let go of the comfort of last week’s full moon in Libra as you stretch towards NEXT week’s new moon in empowered, self-authorized Aries. It’s not about competing with others but more about achieving YOUR personal best.
