This is a week for tackling practical matters, with a bit of romance thrown in! Last month energetic Mars entered your fourth house of home and family for the first time in two years, motivating you to fix up your place and resolve family matters. This includes issues with your parents, in-laws, ex, building contractors, repair men and real estate agents.
You may get hit with a sudden burst of inspiration on Tuesday to get organized and clean house. I don’t know about you, but when I get those bursts (which only happens about twice a year) I drop everything and run with it, knowing that the feeling will pass and I’ll be back to inertia pretty soon. Don’t do this all by yourself, however. There is nothing wrong with child labor if it involves them cleaning up their own room, and it wouldn’t kill your lover to pick their socks up off the floor.
Fortunately, easy going Venus enters this part of the sky on Wednesday, so using a cattle prod or Taser to coerce people to get off their asses and do something shouldn’t be so difficult. Decorating and beautifying your place should become more important to you in the weeks ahead as Venus governs luxury and comfort. Not only that, on an emotional level it should be easier to release old negative emotions and scars that may have been created in your childhood. The chance to patch things up with family members is strong, even if they have departed this plane. Forgive and release.
As the weekend approaches your thoughts will turn to making more money, saving it and creating a realistic budget. Truth be told, Saturday could be sober as the authoritative Sun meets up with serious Saturn. If you’ve been spending more than you’re making it may become apparent that some austere measures need to be put in place. But the good news is that Saturn is the planet of discipline, so new habits that you create should stick for a long time. The house where these two orbs meet also happens to govern your sense of self worth, so if your confidence has taken a beating lately you could snap out of it and realize that, hell yeah, you’re a wonderful person and deserve more!
Speaking of which, Saturday also delivers a sweet aspect that is designed to bring you closer to a lover. Chatty Mercury forms a helpful angle with amorous Neptune in your house of romance. Talk things over with your lover, or plan a nice night out at your favorite cafe. Singles, this is a good weekend to meet someone locally rather than online, so head for the door and have a good time.
