Friday could start with something to push past but, progressively, the day picks up speed.

Starting Friday, Venus begins a four-week tour of Aries. This transit can light a new fire or a new battle regarding the money chase and personal wants and needs. In effect through the weekend, Venus/Chiron singles out something or someone for special attention. There could be a karmic, fated, or déjà-vu element regarding the way things unfold. “No pain, no gain” can also be in the mix.

On Saturday, Juno, the contract asteroid, starts a retrograde tour in Libra (a Venus-ruled sign). This reversal could create diplomatic or relationship strain. Clustered with Venus/Chiron and a building full moon in Leo, these stars could flip a switch and/or see someone cut ties abruptly or pull the plug on a plan, agreement, or contract. Something or someone unexpected (i.e., an underdog) could overtake the lead. Tastes and interests can change, perhaps sharply. Someone or something could suddenly hold great appeal.

The weekend could stand out for some special reason. On the fun side, it is a good one for pleasure-seeking and for enjoying a fresh diversion. By all means, reward yourself or your lover. Ruling acting and special events, the full moon in Leo sets up good hype for the Oscars. By the time the show is on, the transiting moon has left Leo for Virgo. Anticlimactic? Nope. Moon/Uranus makes for good entertainment.

The week ahead can be as productive as you make it. Use your time wisely. Mercury will begin retrograde a week from Sunday.

Aries
March 20 - April 20

Venus in Aries will spend the next month lighting a fresh fire in you. There can be something to get through before Venus takes it up to speed. Oscar party planned for the weekend or not, the full moon in Leo sets a good backdrop for playing it up or for topping yourself up. Monday/Tuesday can be productive. Wednesday/Thursday, spending comes easily.

Taurus
April 20 - May 21

A change of mind or heart can be in the works. Whether through necessity or choice, you may have to make a switch or pull the plug. You could feel strain before the moon reaches full late Saturday, but Sunday onward you should hit a corrective, healing, or improvement upswing. The weekend brings something important to a head—it’s a good thing.

Gemini
May 21 - June 21

Venus in Aries, starting Friday, could get you going on something new. It could require something extra or a trial run, but once you are up and rolling with it, you are likely to be pleased you tried it on/took it on. The full moon in Leo makes for a good social or cut-yourself-loose weekend. The week ahead can be profitable and productive.

Cancer
June 21 - July 22

By Friday, you are likely more than ready to call it quits! Strain is in the mix as the full moon builds, but the stars are setting a good backdrop for correction, improvement, and breaking new ground. Venus in Aries spends the next four weeks lighting a fire in your career sector. Some things are worth fighting for. Monday/Tuesday are best for tackling it.

Leo
July 22 - August 23

Mars in Sagittarius, a great transit for making the most of it, continues to mid-month. Venus in Aries is also set for an opportunity backdrop, but it has something to work through first. Well-timed for Oscar weekend, the full moon in Leo kicks it up a big notch. An element of surprise or flip the switch is the mix.

Virgo
August 23 - September 23

What do you want and how are you going to go get it? Venus in Aries, starting Friday, revs up desire and/or spurs you to action. The full moon in Leo could produce a great insight or spark the unexpected. Gift yourself or your lover (take charge!) this weekend. Sunday through Tuesday, the moon in Virgo helps you to time it just right.

Libra
September 23 - October 23

Leading up to the full moon in Leo (at peak just before midnight [PST] Saturday), you could feel triggered, less interested in accommodating, or more feisty than usual. It’s your party; do it your way. Planned or spontaneous, watch for the full-moon weekend to kick it up a notch and/or to fire up something fresh. The week ahead keeps you/it going strong.

Scorpio
October 23 - November 22

Whether it’s the Oscars or something more personal, the full moon in Leo can set you up for a special-event weekend. How that translates for you is up to you to author. Venus, freshly into Aries, can see you covet time to yourself. Keep vigilant regarding your health. Monday/Tuesday, tackle catch-up, paperwork, errands, and improvement projects. Wednesday/Thursday, stay creative; be accommodating.

Sagittarius
November 22 - December 21

Mars continues in Sagittarius through the middle of February. Venus, the other half of the relationship duo, enters Aries on Friday. Toss in a full moon in Leo and watch you go! That’s good creator power/fire to work with. Something special to do this weekend or someone special to spend time with? Put on the show; have fun with it.

Capricorn
December 21 - January 20

You could feel under strain or worn out as the workweek comes to an end, but by Sunday you should find yourself on a good upswing. If something challenging crops up, know it paves the way for improvement. Sunday to Tuesday is your best time to tackle it. The week ahead can be corrective, healing, and productive.

Aquarius
January 20 - February 18

Beyond a good weekend to have fun, socialize, or cut yourself loose, a shift of perspective or momentum is in the works. Go with instinct, inspiration, and spontaneity. Perhaps there’s a flip side to a relationship issue. The full moon can dish up something fresh or unexpected. Sunday onward is good for getting it fixed, said, and done.

Pisces
February 18 - March 20

Friday could require an extra push to get yourself up and running, but as the day advances and Venus leaves Pisces for Aries, you’ll gain more steam. Plans or agreements might fall through as the moon works its way to full on Saturday, but it could make room for something better. Sunday onward, the going is good.
