Something seems to be slipping away from you. You no longer have what you once had. Nor are you even sure that you want it back. They say a change is as good as a rest and your world is now changing. As it does so, you are starting to realise how tired you are of the way things have been. You probably can reclaim the past. But before you do you should ask yourself whether there is some wiser way to proceed. This weekend brings your chance to make a crucial adjustment rather than resume an old habit.
It would be easy to regard the difficulties you’re facing as a defeat. There’s no question that what’s taking place is bound to cramp your style. However, these restrictions will also force you to tackle certain situations from a completely different angle. Ultimately this will prove far more constructive than your previous approach.
Are you sitting comfortably? Then I'll begin. "Once upon a time there was a person born under the sign of Sagittarius. A nice person. A kind person. A good soul - rather like you! This person had been having a bit of a hard time. They had been starting to feel frustrated. Nothing was quite working out the way that it ought to for them. Then, one weekend, they heard a piece of good news. It didn't fix everything but it certainly cheered them up. And er... that, pretty much, really will be the story of your weekend.
You seem unaware of the potential impact of certain ideas you’re considering. While these are merely intriguing to you, what you do, decide or undertake could have a far-reaching influence on those around you. Ask others for their views and you’ll be amazed the extent to which what you have in mind could shape their lives.
It would be no surprise if you felt trapped by certain situations. The fact is, you’ve certain obligations and really can’t escape, at least for now. However, the events indicated by early May’s extraordinary planetary activity could not only change everything, they mean that you end one chapter of your life and begin another.
Want to keep going round in the same old circles? Of course you don't. Well then, stop pursuing the same old arguments. Stop fighting the same old battles. Stop thinking the same old thoughts. Do something different - it doesn't much matter what. Do something that inspires you - something that represents positivity and fresh hope. Don't tell yourself that you can't because you are too caught up in whatever has been holding you back. Mars insists that you are in a fine position to work magic.
While you’ve no fear of clashes with others, even those closest, you probably still weren’t equipped for the intense exchanges that recent issues triggered. You didn’t realise the depth of others’ feelings or that they’d been harbouring them for so long. Surprising as these exchanges were, now that they’ve been aired, it’s a relief.
It's not like you to want to retrace your footsteps, but the rewards of doing so now could prove great. You may want to reconsider a decision that you made in the past month or change the direction in which a situation was headed: not only might you have been under pressure when those actions were taken but more information has surfaced that changes the complexion of the situation. You are in full creative bloom at the moment, bursting of ideas and in top emotional gear, thus these same influences could inspire a new project or prompt you to open up more fully to a new love. Be true to your feelings and don't be afraid to admit when you have been wrong.
There's always someone worse off than you are. Or so they say. But then again, there's probably also always someone with more to celebrate! Can we truly compare our lives to anyone else's lives and expect to reach a meaningful conclusion? You can waste a lot of time today, worrying and wondering about how your life ought to be... or you can look at what you've got and see what there is, within it, to be grateful for. The faster you start doing that, the quicker you'll see you are in an enviable position!
For some time your instincts have been telling you that one particular creative project was on shaky ground. This is all the more worrying, as it involves somebody you care about deeply. While there’s no avoiding upsetting developments, remain close by their side and you can lend them crucial support when it’s needed.
Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me. The old playground rhyme is true in one way, but it doesn't really do justice to the verbal ability of a Sagittarian with a psychological axe to grind. You can be very sharp when you choose. And, sometimes, you can be sharp - even when you're not intending to cut anyone. Watch what you say - and how you say it - and to whom you say it. Be conscious. Be cautious. Be restrained. And if you must be sharp, please be as sharp as a laser, not a razor.
Ages ago you learned that even in the most congenial of situations, minor differences are inevitable. However, nothing prepared you for the stubborn attitude of those you’re currently dealing with. This gives little scope for negotiation. If you must, let others have their way. You’ll have plenty of opportunity to make changes later.
Whatever the real weather might be doing, the sun is out in April. Actually, the sun is moving through your chart area of fun, creativity and pleasure so at last you have an opportunity or two to let your hair down. This is an extremely fertile few weeks, whether you are looking at the seeding of new ventures, the beginning of a new romance or, quite literally, the start of new life. You seem to have got back your joie-de-vivre, whether spontaneously or because of the happy events set to come.
Not that April is fun on sticks each and every day. The week of the 3rd finds Mars and Pluto in opposition, thus upping the potential for conflict and certainly confrontation. We will surely see some impressive results of escalating tension in the Middle East prior to Easter, and the Bush administration will have to be very careful how it plays events in the early to mid part of this month. While in the Christian World Easter is a time of celebration, for many other creeds it is simply business as usual. This opposition flanks the relationship axis, repeating some earlier alignments of February and March, thus there could be a return of some aggro related to one specific endeavour, or you may find that a bone of contention between you and your partner/ close associate could rear its head once more. My advice would be to pussyfoot around situations at this time - when Mars is in your seventh house your opponent is often bigger and better than you. Put some distance between you and the issues - later in the year you will be in the driver's seat so to speak.
Between the 6th April and 3rd May Venus highlights the zone of home and family. This planet breeds harmony and happiness, and she also inspires make-overs of one sort or another. Aside from April being the month to redecorate, refurbish and generally sparkle up the home, much good work can be done to repair battered family relations. The Venus-Uranus conjunction of the 18th will require delicacy and patience, however. A surprise may not go down too well and a small grievance could become super-sized, so do your best to gain your perspective and avoid hurling missiles of the china and glass variety. The Venus-Pluto aspect of the 30th represents another warning light: while this is a very sexy combination, should you not have an outlet for your passion you may end up overreacting to a situation, in some cases leading to the end of a beautiful friendship. Keep those patience pills to hand.
Be careful what you say. Be careful what you think. Be careful though, not to be TOO careful. There's a reason why sometimes, you act a little tactlessly. It's because some things need to be expressed and someone has to articulate them. There's a reason, too, why you sometimes come up with ideas that flabbergast others. It's because the world is full of very conventionally minded people who can't think creatively. You're now challenging an assumption that sorely needs to be questioned. Ultimately, that's a very good thing.
Differences with others may seem beyond resolution. Grim as things appear to be, truth is the best remedy. This means saying exactly what’s on your mind, from ideas to objections, and encouraging others to do exactly the same. While this might make some waves initially, it will also clear the way for a lasting agreement.
Things are starting to happen very quickly. You're used to leading life at a fast pace but this is getting silly. Every time you think you have worked out what's going on and what you need to do about it, you realise there's a point you have yet to consider, a problem you have yet to solve and an opportunity you have yet to maximise. Mars, as it now forms an intense alignment to your ruler, is putting you under a lot of pressure. But it's also making sure that you don't miss this weekend's chance to work a series of mini-miracles.
It’s the rare Sagittarius who’s suspicious by nature. Every once in a while, however, your instincts will call your attention to one particular situation in which things just don’t seem right, as is the case now. Investigate this at once. Things may be as they should be. But if not, you’ll need to take immediate action.
Yet again Yet again you’ve filled your diary with various obligations and left only a little time for somebody very special. You could ask them to be understanding, as you have before. Or you could rearrange your schedule, which would not only make time to enjoy their company, it would show them how much you care.
Happy surprises involving certain people or projects that are dear to your heart are about to boost your spirits, and just when you most need it. While this is no indication that everything will go smoothly, it does mean that you should be able to eliminate obstacles that would have caused problems, sooner or later.
There’s already been excitement in the air. Usually you’d do all you can to get things moving. While recent difficulties have slowed your pace, they’ve been highly informative. In early May your ruler Jupiter forms a rare and fantastic aspect to Uranus, so this is no time to rush things. What you force now will only need to be reorganised then; hastily made arrangements could even hold you back. Instead, clear up any potential obstacles, from finances to previous commitments. And learn all you can, from both events and those you meet so as opportunities surface, you’re both well informed and free of any potential obstructions.
'The universe is full of magical things, patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper.' So observed the science-fiction writer Eden Phillpotts. That statement is certainly true of YOUR universe at the moment. This week, as Venus and Jupiter begin to form a delightful, harmonious alignment you'll see what I'm driving at. There's much in your world that looks as if it either serves no purpose... or the wrong purpose. You're about to appreciate far more within this, though, and to start feeling extremely grateful.
The planets are feeling generous, particularly when it comes to certain people or projects you care about deeply. Your only challenge is that if you’re to take full advantage of these, you may have to make some compromises. Challenging as this is at the time, in retrospect they’ll be modest in comparison with what you achieve.
So, this so called 'cosmic ordering', does it really work? If so, why can't we just wish away all sorrow and suffering? Why can't we ask the universe to cure us of whatever is compromising our well-being? Actually, we can ask for that. We just have to accept that we may not get it. Instead, we may just get the ability to see why what's happening is necessary in its own way. There's something now that you probably can't change, but you can change the way you feel about it, and you should.
The general mood and those of the individuals you’re dealing seems to be changing on a minute to minute basis. Obviously this makes life difficult, particularly if you want to get certain plans organised. The trick is to ask others questions, then allow their answers to indicate whether or not they’re ready to commit.
Miracles happen far more often than lottery wins ? and to far more people than you might think. Every day, in some large way or small, we are all of us blessed. Our lives are touched by evidence of the Divine at work, though we can always choose to take it for granted. Where, in your life, are wonderful things happening now? Look in that area a little more closely and you may yet see a way to improve the other situations that are seemingly a lot less than wonderful at the moment.
You’ve been busy lately, so much that those around you are probably beginning to feel a little neglected. Those who know and love Sagittarians are accustomed to you being over-booked. Still, you owe it to those who’ve been so loyal to you to set aside some time, and ensure that you then keep those commitments.
You have several interesting options and alternatives. In one area of your life, though, you are almost completely hemmed in. There's seemingly no choice about what you must accept or adjust to. Naturally enough, you don't like this. Your freedom means the world to you. Still, though, we have to ask one key question. Are you being restricted for a good reason or a bad one? There is something truly magical about your situation now. Take the best possible view of it and trust that this is, indeed, the correct perspective.
Sooner or later you’re going to have to resolve some tricky issues about who’s responsible for what. These began as mere disagreements, but could easily turn into legal wrangles or arguments of a moral nature. Still, if you wait until next Tuesday’s clash with the practical Saturn, events could deal with everything at once.
At the time you may not have taken events seriously, or you could have thought that others were joking. But they weren’t. Last Thursday’s fabulous aspect between Venus, planet of love and money, to your ruler Jupiter, is likely to have triggered offers or opportunities so brilliant that you didn’t believe they were for real. 当時、あなたが真剣に出来事を受け止めることができませんか、 またはあなたは、他のものが冗談を言っていたと考えたかもしれません。 しかし、それらはそうではありませんでした。 ビーナスと愛の惑星とあなたの定規木星へのお金の間の先週の木曜日の素晴らしい局面はあなたが、 それらが本物であると信じていなかったほど輝かしい申し出か機会の引き金となりそうでした。
When we've got energy, everything seems possible. When we're tired, it's all a chore. You are now looking at a proposition that once seemed attractive. You entered into a situation with plenty of enthusiasm for which you no longer feel the same excitement. Can you back out and take an easier option? Well, before we can even attempt to answer that question, let's just make sure that you are not at a temporary low ebb. You may just find, this weekend, that you are able to re-ignite a flame that had almost burned out.
Your Weekend: Jupiter's alignment to Mercury suggests this is a good time to think about how others see you - and how you, in turn, see them. What do some people expect from you almost as a 'right'? You 'supply' a certain something. If you ever stopped supplying it, certain people would feel shocked or even outraged. Yet why should anyone feel you owe them this? And why should you feel that your whole life has to hang around the endless provision of a commodity - or a facility - that you are NOT, obliged to give?
You’re going to have to choose your words carefully. In fact, in certain tricky situations, the less you say, the better. Within a short time you’ll once again be able to express your views openly. Currently, others are feeling so sensitive that they’d be likely to misinterpret even the mildest of statements as provocative.
It has been some seven months since Venus tangoed with Pluto, so if late October produced a moment of romantic madness, you could be about to have a re-run. By contrast should a relationship have ended in an acrimonious war of words, you may now be able to go back over old ground and repair the damage. Certainly the potential to resurrect old partnerships and friendships is great at the moment, and you should not be surprised if you are flooded with waves of nostalgia. Nonetheless, before you get carried away on a fantasy dream boat, there is also a heavy dose of Saturn to contend with, which means actions have consequences...
Situations may be perfectly clear to you, but don’t expect others to see things from your perspective, at least right away. In fact you may need both to do some explaining and some persuading before you’re able to win them over. Ironically, what you learn in the process more than justifies the effort involved.

The world is full of great orators. Their rhetoric is impressive. They speak so well and so persuasively that they cast a kind of spell over all who listen. Sadly, talking is not quite the same as actually doing. There comes a point where we have to judge people by their actions, not their words. You are now concerned that you don't feel able to explain yourself satisfactorily - or because something is not making much sense to you. Don't worry. Just look at the reality and ignore the description.
Having been born under one of the most flexible signs of the zodiac, you adapt easily to the changes that others struggle with. Still, recent developments have left you perplexed, more perhaps because of others’ attitude than situations themselves. Address this now. Discussions won’t be easy, but are essential if you’re to settle these issues.
There is a lot that needs to be done. There isn't, really, very much that needs to be said. Action, though, requires hard work and dedication. Conversation is comparatively effortless. Therefore, most of the time, most of the people talk a lot and do very little. There's a lot of talk taking place in your world at the moment. There's also a lot of confusion. The gap between theory and practice is growing ever wider in one key area. The only way to close it, is to say less and do more.
The last thing you’re in the mood to do is deal with tedious or tricky obligations. You’d been sidestepping these for ages, worried about what would emerge if you delved into them with the focus they demand. While they won’t be a picnic, they also won’t be nearly as awful as those you’re currently dreading.
Some people have a way of charming everyone they meet. Their words seem soothing, even when they are actually making contentious statements. With other people it's just the opposite. They just have no tact or grace. They can even make a statement of praise and appreciation sound like an aggressive challenge. Keep that in mind, please, as you weigh up your response to what's being said today. Play close attention to the content and try to ignore the style of the delivery.
Difficulties on the home front aren’t anything new. You’ve known for ages that something would need to be done but have had no idea where to begin. Now events make the decision for you, by forcing everybody involved, including you, to talk things over frankly. Demanding as these exchanges are, they achieve wonders.
When you are wearing ballet shoes, you can afford to stomp and stamp. The worst you will hurt is your feet. With heavy hobnailed boots on, though, you really must try to tread delicately lest you inadvertently do some damage. Recent frustrations and confusions have left you unsure about where the boundaries lie in a difficult situation and uncertain too about who holds the balance of power. For the record, you hold it. The boundaries are wherever you choose to place them.
The last thing you want to do is alienate somebody you care about. However, you’re also aware that if you don’t address certain issues soon, they’re likely to blow up suddenly and, perhaps, at the wrong time. While others might pretend to be shocked by what you say, they’re well aware these problems need attention.
During the first half of Friday, you may push yourself to the point of pain or exhaustion. Why? Be more body-conscious and pay attention to the signs that you’re overdoing it. If possible, cancel stressful, physically demanding tasks until Saturday. As long as you haven’t gone too far on Friday, you should feel strong and vibrant on Saturday and be able to master whatever task gets tossed your way. Your creativity and sense of humor are in high gear, making you both exciting and fun to be with. Since a friend or partner wants to participate in a venture with you, why not allow it? You could use a little extra assistance. You could also benefit from a relatively objective opinion. Sunday creates some drama in your home or family. This doesn’t have to be the main focus of the day unless you want it to be. Later Sunday afternoon, you regain your equipoise and feel on firmer ground.
They say, 'It never rains but it pours. ' That is, patently, nonsense. Sometimes, it just drizzles for a while and then clears up nicely. We have to be very careful about worrying, more than we need to - especially when we are Sagittarians! People often describe your sign as 'optimistic'. In a way, that's true. You are. But, you don't do things by half measures. Psychologically, Jupiter makes you a little like one of the Grand Old Duke of York's 10,000 men. When you are up you are up and... well, never mind the rest. When this week's events take you up, just try to stay up. Don't let a worry bring you down.
Your Weekend: Close your eyes. Oh, okay then. Don't. You can't read your forecast otherwise. But once you've finished reading, close them. Then, imagine an exotic location. An inspiring situation. A world full of wonderfully positive possibility. Try to see yourself in a position where anything can happen next as long as it's encouraging and constructive. Now, open your eyes. What do you see? Well then, keep looking. For there should soon, be an experience that brings you close to this kind of satisfaction.
The dramatic developments that take place during May’s first half are no surprise, but their swiftness and far-ranging influence are. You may have been behind the plans indicated by your ruler Jupiter’s fabulous aspect to the innovative Uranus, but others have taken things further, which means you’re no longer entirely in control. While you’re uneasy about this, others’ ideas and their access only improves on things. Your greatest challenge is ensuring that, during this dynamic and often demanding cycle, those closest feel they’re included.
Let it go - get into the feeling. The astrology pulse says it's hot, emotional, watery, assertive and nourishing. You may notice you're a little edgy, like the risks seem more real than you typically imagine they are. And like there's a current of anger you may be able to detect beneath the surface. Then comes a meeting, an encounter or exchange with someone you happen to be close to now. The energy is familiar, but there seems to be a need to go someplace else; to experience something new. When you take action, make contact with the love beneath it first.
By this Friday’s splendid aspect between your ruler Jupiter and the planet that has everything to do with revolutionary ideas, Uranus, you’ll probably already know about potentially life-changing opportunities. Discuss these with others, keeping in mind that when it comes to taking chances on the unfamiliar or unknown, not everybody’s as courageous as you are.
You're usually the person who knows your own mind the very best, and, unlike most people, you're aware of this fact. But over the next day or two, you will find people around you saying surprisingly intuitive things that fill in the blanks on various little puzzles you're putting together. You may notice that people can finish your sentences - differently than you intended, but with a better conclusion. In any event, keep your ears perked, make casual inquiries and pay particular attention to what kids think. You may observe they really do know everything.
There’s a difference between being part of plans, which you are, and being in control of what’s being decided, which you’re not. Naturally, this is unsettling, particularly as the outcome of these discussions will profoundly influence your life. Remaining in close touch with others ensures that they’re fully aware of both your ideals and objectives.
Your Weekend: Moses, despite all his extraordinary wisdom and faith, must have been pretty surprised when the waters of the Red Sea parted for him. Likewise, despite your unusual courage, abundant energy and your attitude that nothing can get in your way, you have something a little extra going for you right now. Something that you knew you always had inside. And that something will surprise you, if you put it to work on only the most meaningful subjects in your life. I can pretty much assure you that does not include your career. Your creative life, and emotional connections - perhaps; career, probably not.
Sometimes you cannot move directly towards the object of your desires - you have to employ a strategy, even make a devious move. And this notion is well worth remembering this week, both in terms of your actions and those of others. Life is particularly delicate at work now, and you may have to question more than one instruction or item of information. Also, feelings of anxiety or elation are likely to be temporary and therefore not worth staking your pension on. Keep a low profile and take the trouble to go through the paperwork. What you may find could alter the whole complexion of a situation.
Every day provides an education. Must it also, though, provide a limitation? Must you keep abiding by rules which you ought, really, to have left behind years ago? Lately you have felt most unfairly restricted. Something or someone keeps telling you what you can or can't do - and you feel unable to challenge the authority of this law-layer. Just keep on being willing to learn. Any moment now, you'll make a discovery that nobody can argue with and which really sets you free.
Maintaining a balance between expressing your enthusiasm about current exciting developments, yet ensuring that others feel included, requires tremendous diplomacy. Ordinarily you’d regard this approach as verging on dishonesty. But now, knowing that others simply aren’t as prepared for change as you are, you realise you’ve no alternative but to take things in stages.
You may thrive on change but events are testing both your capacity to deal with the unexpected and to trust in unaccustomed ways. You may be flexible, but you also value your freedom, and will battle to retain it. Yet potential arrangements could be restrictive. On the other hand, what you achieve or get as a result could be spectacular. Besides, you may have no choice. What’s taking place now involves your ruler Jupiter and a powerful planetary cycle that began last year and continues well into the second half of 2006. Therefore, it’s not about saying yes or no, but about your attitude.
You have taken a bit of a battering lately. Psychologically, financially, emotionally - and creatively too, it seems as if you are no longer standing on such solid ground. You have been knocked, if not off your perch, at least to the point where you are wobbling around it somewhat. At least, though, you now know how far your perch can swing without causing you to fall. Mercury's opposition to Jupiter, suggests it may still wobble for a day or so more. Soon after that though, it will swing back to a safe and satisfactory position.
When you agreed to the thrilling ideas or offers that accompanied superb aspects involving your ruler Jupiter, you didn’t take into account just how far-reaching they’d be. Now that you have, you’re beginning to realise that it also means undertaking a long overdo clear-out of various others areas of your domestic and working life.
また木星があなたの統治星であることを覚えておいてください。 そうすれば、木星が今月あらゆるのサインの為のご馳走を味わうと同時にあなたはさらに利益を得るうらやましい立場にあるでしょう。 というのも単に木星の役割は特にあなたの世話を焼くことなのですから、親愛なる射手座。あなたには本当に金儲けの才覚があります。 そして今月あなたは‘求める者は得る’という古い格言を立証するでしょう。 #"He who asks, gets."=『求めよ、さらば与えられん』かと思ったのですが,それは‘Ask,and it shall be given you.’なので無難に訳しました。
もし自分の関心を全て仕事へ注いでる影響が家族にあるかもと心配するなら、‘牧場’の人々は全く大丈夫なように見えるので。 あまり心配しすぎないように。あなたには地元のチームから目立った支援が本当にあります。 #meanwhile, back at the ranch=さてその頃、牧場では…→喧騒や騒乱とは縁のない長閑な場所では(映画等の場面転換に使用)
'What would the neighbours think?' This is not a question that you often ask. You have far better things to do with your life than limit yourself by listening to the narrow-minded opinions of folk whose only connection with you is one of physical proximity. That's ten times more true if they are not even the actual opinions - but just hypothetical ideas about what those opinions might be. So, why are you hesitating now, on account of whether a certain someone might or might not approve of something?
You’ve a trusting nature. You’ve rarely been disillusioned. And on the occasions when others’ actions have been less honourable than you expected, you’ve made up for it elsewhere. At the moment, however, you owe it to yourself to double-check the capability of certain individuals to fulfil their commitments now, while you can still make changes.
Do you want my blessing? Would you like me to make a public statement of support for your current strategy? Or perhaps you would prefer to go to a higher authority. I wonder if the Queen could be persuaded to write you a letter or the Head of the United Nations. Maybe we should go all the way to the top and ask Victoria Beckham for her approval or maybe, no, scratch that...
Definitely, we should just forget the whole idea of achieving an endorsement. If it feels right to you, it is right. Don't just read this short forecast for your sign. Listen to my in-depth explanation of all you have to look forward to, this week and every week.
Agreeing to exciting plans is one thing, turning them into something that’s practical financially is quite another, as you’re now realising. The problem is that with the inventive Uranus involved, each and every step involves something new and unpredictable. While this may slow things down, it also means the end result is bound to be thrilling.
The people we love aren't always the easiest people for us to be with. Strangers tend to demand less from us than close friends and relations. The same can be said about the situations that excite us the most. They may bring us more fulfilment, but they also tend to pose us more problems than the scenarios that hardly matter to us. You have strong feelings about how things ought to be this weekend. That, though, is only because you care so much. Relax, it's all going to be okay.
When you agreed to new ideas, you didn’t even consider that they’d reshape the rest of your life. But they are, and those changes will continue to ripple out into everything from your domestic life to your activities out in the world. Obviously the resulting changes will require considerable time and thought on your part.
Expect the unexpected throughout Friday. Most of your surprises will be very enjoyable and fortunate, btw. Changes may be made in a housing matter. You may also consider making a significant purchase or taking out a loan. Once the wheels are set in motion, they’re apt to spin very, very fast. Saturday’s Full Moon focuses mainly on practical matters, such as duties, chores and other obligatory things. But it also suggests that you have a duty to yourself and your loved ones to take better care of your health. Make healthier choices this weekend and include exercise in your weekend schedule. Mother’s Day brings out your emotional, sentimental side. Although you try very hard to keep that part of you well disguised, it continues to make memorable appearances from time to time. You’re in a generous, talkative, expressive mood ? which means that a “short visit” could last a few hours.
ケイナー週末、原文と別訳です。 Do you know exactly what it is that you are looking for? Then, er, how on earth do you expect to be able to find it? Two things delay success in any search. The first is an overly specific idea of what's missing and where it is to be found. By narrowing options and ignoring alternatives, we cause perfectly acceptable substitutes to be overlooked. The second obstacle to progress is a notion that's far too vague. You must have SOME idea or there'll be no discrimination. A rough idea will bring the smoothest progress this weekend.
On the 19th, Mercury's arrival in the seventh house heralds a significant eight-week period for relationships. With this in mind, there could be some ground to prepare and some stray threads to snip. Indeed, your first task could be to go through a pile of paperwork in order to ensure that you have dealt with a problem and not left any debts unpaid - and we're not just talking money here. There is also a possibility that a rumour currently doing the rounds is undermining your position in some way, thus another of your jobs might be to get in touch with people who are central to your security and well-being.
Known as one of the communicative signs of the zodiac, you'll be putting your special skills to work persuading partners you're your ideas are the right ones. Mercury and the Sun are moving into your chart area which rules one-to-one partnerships, so you will want to share and care more in the coming weeks. Togetherness will be the key to your happiness wherever you are. Try to keep loved ones happy and they'll do the same for you.
In many ways, you're like a tinderbox right now - Pluto is making you explosive, combustible and hot to trot. The slightest provocation and you're on fire. This can translate as losing your cool too easily, or as getting very hot, in a good way. This is great news if you're feeling fine about letting your feelings show. If you feel like you need to hide your emotions though, good luck. For starters, it will be very hard to do that (especially today) and for another, what exactly is the point? Pretty soon you'll know how others are feeling, too.
On the one hand, you probably have the urge to declutter your life. If that's the case, you really can't go past Karen Kingston's Creating Sacred Space With Feng Shui - it's an amazing book (a best seller for good reason). On the other hand, once you've decided what you need to get rid of, double check. Don't go too far! Letting go of worldly goods is great, but don't delete all your memories. It's wonderful to have something to look back on from ye olde days, even if it's only so you can smugly remind yourself how far you've come.
一方では、恐らくあなたは自分の人生を取り乱さないように急き立てています。 それが本当ならば、あなたは本当にカレン・キングストンの著書「Creating Sacred Space With Feng Shui」を見逃せません。 ― これは驚くべき本(ちゃんとした理由のあるベストセラー)です。 他方では、一旦あなたが「何を手放す必要があるか」を決めたならば再点検してください。 度を超さないでください! 世俗的な所有物を捨て去るのは素晴らしい事ですが、あなたの全ての記憶を消さないでください。 例えあなたがどの程度になったのかについて、悦に浸って思い出せるだけであっても 過去の日々を振り返る何かを手にしているのは素晴らしいです。
You prefer to keep on top of minor issues. As a Sagittarius you’d always rather talk over and settle problems when they arise than allow them to brew into something troublesome. But others aren’t ready to face certain issues and won’t be until next week. Your patience with them now will be rewarded later.
Before you can go to the next level where important one-to-one relationships are concerned, you're very likely to have to accept that some kind of change is inevitable. Luckily for you, you're one of the signs that has the least amount of difficulty in moving on from the past (unless you happen to have gazillions of planets in Scorpio, which would totally influence the situation and make you less likely to adapt… but I digress). Whatever else you do today, think about what's changing in your life and relationships, its impact, and about how you can benefit from the new situation.
Waste no time trying to justify your actions to others, even those whose views you respect. The problem isn’t what you’re doing, it’s that they’re distracted by issues of which you’re unaware. This is colouring their reaction to everybody and everything. Once their life’s calmed down, they’ll return to being their reasonable selves.
Whatever you do, don't throw the baby out with the bathwater! If you haven't heard that expression, it means that just because you make one big change, you don't have to axe everything from your life. Right now, the skies are urging you to make some kind of change. You do need to accept that change is not just inevitable but also desirable. For many Sagittarians, the emphasis will be on what you do on a daily basis at work and where your health is concerned. You don't have to totally change your life, but some minor modifications are definitely desirable.
Few things are more upsetting than the realisation that one particular individual hasn’t just disappointed you, but that they knew exactly what they impact of their actions would be. The fact is, you’ve long suspected they were capable of such behaviour but gave them the benefit of doubt. Now your suspicions have been verified.
Mercury's changing signs today, moving from Taurus into Gemini. For you, that also translates as his moving out of the part of your chart connected to work and health, and into the sector linked to your most important one-to-one relationships. If you've been working hard at the gym over the past few weeks, expect at least one person to notice what you've achieved. If you've been working too hard at the office, today marks the moment when you can expect to devote less time to the daily grind and more to affairs of the heart. Keep the lines of communication open.
Usually you’re perfectly capable of speaking for yourself. At the moment, however, you really need to allow others to speak on your behalf. This may seem strange or even lacking in courage. But what or who you’re dealing with makes it difficult for you to stand up for yourself, where as others can do it easily.
If you've been a little closed down lately, the luscious Venus/Neptune link today could help you to open up again, in a gorgeous flower-faces-the-morning-kind-of-way. Seriously. Venus is in your romance/creativity zone and she's linking to Neptune in your communications zone. If you're one of the Sagittarians slaving away on a creative project now, you have great stars - so breathe the vibe in deeply. And if there's something romantic you want to say to someone? Breathe in... and take a chance. (Or at least think about taking a chance - it's a good day for it - astro-truly!)
It’s time to draw the line. You’ve been tolerant of the irritating attitude or disruptive behaviour of others for far too long, so much that they’re now confident that they can do as they like. You must now make it clear that they can’t, and that if they continue there will be prices to pay.
You will be wonderfully diplomatic this week. You will write the letters you have been leaving to one side, pour oil on troubled waters , and tell the wonderful people in your life how positively you feel about them. If you have been hanging onto a mate more for protection than for love or mutual respect , then this may be when the light dawns. Try to gently start pushing yourself to come to better agreements.
Where have you been and what have you been through? You are trying to make sense of recent events but the more you try to understand them, the more confused you become. That's because there is no logical rhyme or reason. Some things in this world just happen because they need to happen. They exist to be experienced, not understood. Whatever you think, whatever you fear and whatever you imagine, you are now going through a very positive process.
You might feel a bit dreamy and spacey today -- which isn’t necessarily a bad thing -- depending on what you’ve got planned. You’re also enormously creative and responsive to others and wear your heart on your sleeve. You relate to others’ emotions but may have some problems clearly expressing your thoughts in a logical, sensible order that others can comprehend. Today is better for freewheeling activities with few pressures, rules or time constraints.
You may still be reeling from the disappointing ? or even disillusioning ? events of the past two weeks. These were made all the more difficult because they followed early May’s astonishing ideas or offers. Now, finally, a combination of informative exchanges and yet more developments wed everything that’s gone on during the month into one, coherent, image. If you take plans forward, this provides a clear image of who and what you’d be dealing with. As important, because Saturday’s New Moon accents those you’ll be closest to during this process, you’re finally in a position to demand the kind of commitment necessary to take things further.
Things don't have to be the way they are. They can be different - if you want them to be. Indeed, it's much easier to get them to change than it is to get them to stay the same. You were born under a mutable sign. Instinctively, you understand the way in which everything in this world has to keep on moving and evolving. For some reason, though, you are apprehensive about the meaning of a recent development. What does it signify? Your opportunity to choose how the next phase of your life unfolds.
For ages you’ve been supporting close colleagues or loved ones in working towards certain once-distant goals. Now that they’ve nearly achieved these, you’re beginning to realise just how disruptive the resulting reorganisation would be. Ironically, changes in your own life are long overdue, and what’s coming will benefit you as much as it does others.
I want to tell you that 'there is nothing to worry about'. You and I both know, though, that that's not strictly speaking, true. There is always something to worry about! A world without constant cause for concern would be as unnatural as a planet without oxygen in the atmosphere. We need air to breathe and we need issues to preoccupy us, too. There's a big difference, though, between a conscious, caring, consideration and an anxious agonising. Be thoughtful, not fearful.
You can’t agree with everybody about everything. While some differences are no surprise, tensions in situations that seem perfectly straightforward have caught you unawares. You’ve no idea what to do. The answer is, the more freedom you give others to disagree, the sooner they’ll realise that their uncooperative attitude is only making things more complicated.
This morning is ripe with pleasure and opportunity. You feel alive and vibrant. Nothing can dent your enthusiasm or confidence. This afternoon is less carefree and more work or responsibility-focused. But even when you’re at your most serious and practical, you still manage to find a little wonder or humor in things. P.S.: It appears that someone or something is working on your behalf behind the scenes. This blessing will begin to materialize during late fall.
If we don't ever get wound up, how can we ever appreciate how glorious it feels to wind down? An awkward matter has been causing you great consternation lately. Finally, you are finding a way to resolve this and to reduce the amount of pressure that it seems to be creating. The sense of relief that you are about to experience will make the preceding time of tension seem worthwhile. But the difficult situation that you have been through has allowed you to reap a big reward.
You don’t mind last minute changes in plan. But others do, and they’re causing a real fuss. Instead of struggling to accommodate their demands, say nothing. This may seem unkind. However, once these individuals realise that nobody is playing their game, they’ll adopt a far more cooperative attitude. After that discussions should proceed without drama.
Venus and Pluto make today better than you’d anticipated. You feel freer and better about your circumstances. Yesterday’s worries melt like soft candy and most of the news coming your way is really quite wonderful. Once you’re able to harness a rebellious streak and get down to business, you make stunning progress. Until that moment, however, you’ll find a hundred reasons to avoid making a call or starting a project. You’re very good at distracting yourself and others when the job at hand is something you dread.
When we are told that 'they all lived happily ever after', they never say how happily - or for how long the ever after lasted. If it really was forever, it must still be happening now. Somewhere, in some hidden corner of our world, there must be vast numbers of ageing, blissful princes and princesses. Eternity is a tricky concept. We just don't have time to sit around long enough to figure out what it means. This weekend, though, you will at least know, for sure, the meaning of happiness.
You’re dreading what could be lengthy or overblown scenes. But not everybody is able to analyse problems in a detached manner, and between recent tensions and the emotionally heightened atmosphere that accompanies this weekend’s Full Moon, dramas are almost inevitable. However, not only will they clear the air, you’re likely to learn a great deal.
With Venus now in your chart area of work, you are more reserved when it comes to expressing your romantic needs. You need to make more effort to break the ice and show your inner warmth. Work will be easier for you at the moment than indulging or playing , so you may feel out of place on social occasions unless you have a job to do. But the upside is that the mood around your daily chores is very much happier than it has been for a while.
Don't underestimate the competition. Mercury stands opposed to Pluto turning easy-going partners and colleagues into stubborn, opinionated mules and organizations into the Inquisition. At the first sign of argument, hold your comments and offer to sit down calmly and discuss the issue; be prepared to change your position or at least ask for time to consider the alternatives. Helping your cause is warrior, Mars, who arrives in the lofty, philosophical area of your horoscope on Saturday: from this point on your horizons expand and your ego loses its bruises.
You long ago gave up on the hope of certain goals, mostly because those closest, family or partners, simply refused to make changes. Now, suddenly, their attitude has completely transformed. While you’re wary, it’s worth making tentative plans. Who knows, by the Sagittarius Full Moon on June 11th, you could be beginning a whole new cycle.
Have you ever contemplated a career as a contortionist? It's hard to imagine how squeezing yourself into a series of peculiar tubes and boxes whilst sticking your legs behind your head would be more difficult, in essence, than making the complex moves that life has lately demanded from you. You have stretched, bent, twisted and turned. You've done it all without complaining. No wonder you feel a little tired. This week brings something a little more simple and straightforward.
If your world seems a little disjointed at the moment, it’s no surprise. Between changes in circumstance and the decisions being made by those you work with or are close to romantically, you’ve numerous changes to deal with. But that’s not the problem. It’s that they’re so unexpected that various plans you’ve made are crumbling around you. Instead of shoring them up, focus on exploring your options. This is preparation for the dramatic changes in your life and close relationships that accompany the Sagittarius Full Moon on June 11th. The more you learn now, the better prepared you’ll be for the exciting developments then.
Venus tiptoes into your sixth house of work and health today, creating a more pleasant vibe in both areas. You may also make plans to improve the look in your home or office. Colleagues and other people you encounter on a daily basis seem friendlier and more helpful. You’ll notice that your sweet tooth may be more pronounced. If sweets aren’t your thing, then you’ll crave carbs. The good news is that you won’t necessarily pack on the pounds, despite the emphasis on sweets and/or carbs. P.S.: A financial matter is less worrisome than you’d originally thought. Anticipate financial relief before the end of the week.
For a freewheeling maverick, you’re pretty opinionated today -- and mighty stubborn about what you will and will not do. People that know you well may carefully preface a suggestion with, “Maybe you don’t want to do this, but….” You’re advised to listen patiently instead of shutting others down. A number of suggestions and ideas on offer could prove to be very helpful to you.
The three below ride unicycles. On their shoulders stand two more, linking arms for support. Atop the two, there's one last fearless performer, standing straight and juggling batons of fire. For an act like this, just one crucial objective remains - to avoid the embarrassment of a premature collapse. You have managed, lately, to get an awful lot up in the air. You are worried about how long you can keep it there. Here's your answer. An uncomfortably (but not impossibly) long time.
Because you loathe being restricted for no reason, you’re always careful about what you ask or demand of others. Lately, however, you seem to have over-compensated. In fact, if you don’t let others know what you expect or, equally, what you’re unhappy about, they’ll simply continue with the actions that you find so upsetting.
In your case, first Mercury, then the sun opposes Pluto, thereby thrusting a relationship into the spotlight and bringing out the best and worst in you and your nearest and dearest. Especially if you have a mid-December birthday, 2006 is a year of great change and transformation, much of it inspired by partners and associates, and mid-June is another of those make or break times for relationships. The full moon on the 11th is the only one this year in your sign, so your emotions will be running at full tilt during that weekend - great if you're over-the-moon happy but a bit of a disaster should anyone or anything go wrong. Whether you are closing a chapter or opening another in June, there is an element of fate about events - all the more reason therefore not to let your emotions pitchfork you into actions that you might come to regret. The aforementioned Mars-Saturn conjunction takes place in the sector of far horizons, so this could benefit you tremendously - you may be able to reach a satisfactory agreement with a company, and things of a foreign or long-term nature will add to your stature, and certainly your bank of knowledge and experience.
Get a couple of pillows. Lay them on the couch. Punch them as hard as you can. Several times. Or sit cross-legged on the floor and repeat, 2,000 times, the following ancient spiritual mantra, 'Om mani padistu tyte'. Or go and play cricket. You need to release your negative energy. You should probably also avoid eating chocolate. Jupiter's sharp link to Pluto suggests you can do something wonderful now - as long as you keep pessimism at bay with plenty of positivity.
Do everything by the book today, no matter how time-consuming or repetitive it seems. Many of you will be handling, processing or signing paperwork. You need to get things exactly right, so minimize distractions and unnecessary talking while you look things over. An important decision that may impact your job, health and quality of life can be made today. It should be a very positive matter -- as long as you’re able to make an unhurried, unrattled wise choice.
Today urges you to keep things as simple and serene as possible. Won’t be easy -- but will make things less anxious. There will be moments when you feel slightly ganged-up on by advisors or opinionators. You continue to require a little more privacy and space while making momentous decisions. You don’t need a room full of monkeys chattering while you’re trying to add up numbers or make sense out of paperwork. Politely but pointedly tell others to show a little more respect while you work out the details.
There’s no way you can avoid certain potentially tricky issues. What’s more, the longer you wait to discuss these, the more complicated those exchanges will be. As much as you dread it, once you actually begin, you’ll be surprised how easily you and others discuss and deal with situations which you thought had no solution.
It is always a good idea to know which team you are playing for, whose side you are on, and in which direction play is supposed to head. Having established that, you can safely attend to other little matters such as how points are scored and what constitutes defeat or victory. A decision-making process, entered into without such information, will not necessarily prove stressful but its outcome will! The discovery you are now making will ultimately bring you much wisdom and power.
'Buzz, buzz.' That's not the sound of a bee in your bonnet - nor even of the hornet under your hat. It's the noise of a mental mechanism that's at maximum capacity. Your brain is beginning to hum like an overloaded electrical circuit. It has simply got too much to cope with, but it won't give up in despair. It is, after all, YOUR brain - and you are no quitter. Make your thoughts optimistic and constructive. If you are thinking anything else, you are thinking the wrong thing.
Your Weekend: This weekend, there's a strong temptation to bend a rule. It looks as if you may be able to get away with this. There are good reasons why you would like to try. You are short of things you need. There's pressure upon you to do more than you possibly can. Even so, if you do draw the line in the wrong place, it will be noticed. Something will be wrong and ultimately, you'll find yourself having to do things again, the right way. Save yourself the bother. Stick firmly to first principles.
Concerns about a family member, friend or partner may dominate your thinking much of the day. You may get only bits and pieces of information -- nothing especially coherent or useful. When left with more imagination than fact, you tend to worry. You may feel out of the loop and unable to do much to make a difference. That’s probably accurate. As frustrating as it is, you may need to accept the fact that all you can do is send prayers, healing, and loving thoughts to someone in need. Later this week, more information will filter in, and by the looks of it, things should take a turn for the better -- probably much better.
Children rarely wake up with yesterday's worry on their mind. They are blessed with an ability to greet each day with a mood of hopeful expectation. This is as much (or as little) of a policy as you need to adopt. There's going to be an adventure of some kind. You're going to be taken care of, regardless of what happens. What else do you require then, other than an open mind and a degree of enthusiasm. Allow Jupiter's opposition to Venus to remind you how magical life can be.
It's a good job, really, that there's only one of you. How would the world cope if there were two? Your qualities and attributes may not, when considered one by one, be unique. It's your particular combination of these that's so impressive and exceptional. Not only do you have more strings to your bow than most, but you are always adding more. Which takes us, really, to the crux of the forecast and the reason for the flattery. To attain success you must be willing to learn a new skill now.
This afternoon bolsters a partnership or special relationship. You and another share similar goals and can mutually benefit by joining forces. The excitement of change always gets you going. Anything that seems less predictable is particularly attractive now. Additionally, you’re interested in exploring or building a new dream. For some time, you’ve been forced to set aside your heart’s desire and march dutifully along, forever fulfilling your contract. But today opens the door to something that could turn out to be so much better than what you’re accustomed to ….
Consider yourself, please, to be undergoing a process of preparation. Think of your life as a kitchen, the surfaces of which are nice and clean. Behind those fitted cupboards, though, are little inaccessible areas of dust and grime. Normally, out of sight is out of mind but now, you are having to make way for a new device. Suddenly, you can see something unattractive and off putting. It urgently needs dealing with. Your problem has a purpose, your drama is happening for a reason. Trust.
You can get so much done this morning by containing noise and interruptions and keeping impromptu visitors at bay. Remember that your goals and needs are just as valid as those of others. So even when others pounce on you from every direction, demanding attention and immediate results, learn to tune it out. As a matter of fact, your goals are actually more important than the alleged emergencies that others pile on your doorstep. P.S.: By demonstrating that you respect yourself enough to say NO to others, you might even earn their admiration and respect.
