The Aquarian buzz word for the week
is Communication (with a capital ‘C’).
Monday night’s Solar Eclipse stimulates
your neighbourhood and conversation
zone, so expect increased social interaction
and educational activities within
your local community. When it comes
to an ongoing neighbourhood problem,
think global and act local. Wisdom for
the week is from fashion designer (and
birthday great) Vivienne Westwood,
“The sexiest people are thinkers.”
Mars and Saturn link up in your sign
(on Wednesday/Thursday) which could
stymie progress, squash confidence and
bring you down. However – fortunately
– the Solar Eclipse and Venus stimulate
your self-esteem zone. So steer clear of
criticism (in person and online); avoid
getting caught up in a negative self-talk
loop; and stop worrying about the qualities
you perceive you don’t have. It’s time
to celebrate your strengths and be your
Number One fan!
Monday night’s Total Solar Eclipse is
in your sign which boosts energy levels,
turbo-charges your motivation and
increases your determination. If you’re
lacking confidence (and feeling more
like a meek lamb than a courageous
ram) then spend time with an uber Aries
friend. Hopefully, some of their chutzpah
and self-assurance will rub off on
you. But Mercury is also activating your
sign, so slow down and think (carefully)
before you speak and act!

Taurus is a fixed sign and you can be
a bossy, stubborn Bull. Aim to be more
adaptable and adventurous this week,
as you focus attention on helping those
around you. The Solar Eclipse lights up
your humanitarian zone, so being of
service to others sees you glow on the
inside. But with Mercury in retrograde
mode, take the time to double-check all
information and communicate clearly.
On Wednesday and Thursday, tread
carefully with family and friends.
Mercury is your ruling planet and it’s
in retrograde mode until April 25. So it’s
not a good time to gossip; sign contracts;
start a job or business; buy a phone,
computer, car or home; launch a website;
install new software; go on an important
business trip or embark on a big overseas
holiday. However, it IS a good time to
do anything with an ‘re’ in front of it
… revise, rehearse, review, remember,
return, recover and reconnect. And
make sure you double-check everything.
Avoid being a lonesome Crab! Professional
projects and creative collaborations
with colleagues are favoured,
as you spark ideas off each other and
pool your talents to produce something
special. The Total Solar Eclipse and
Venus increase enthusiasm and encourage
rebooting a rickety work relationship
that’s been experiencing problems. But
be careful you don’t get into an emotional
stew over a festering secret, a broken
promise, or a breach of trust.

Are you a Lion who’s feeling rather
restless? On Monday night there’s a fiery
Solar Eclipse in your adventure zone,
which highlights holidays, adventure,
exploration and exciting beginnings.
But retrograde Mercury is also there,
which could complicate travel plans,
limit patience, shorten timelines and
lengthen frustrations. So you’ll need to
be on your best behaviour if you want to
cruise through the week! Clever Cats will
check, double-check, listen and learn.
Mercury (your boss planet) is in retrograde
mode until April 25. So – even
though there’s a New Moon/Solar Eclipse
on Monday night – it’s not an appropriate
week to expedite tasks, initiate ideas or
race ahead with projects. Instead, use the
time wisely to remember, revise, research
and review. Be patient, pace yourself and
move ahead slowly in planned stages.
Your motto for the moment is from Ralph
Waldo Emerson, “Adopt the pace of
nature: her secret is patience.”
With Venus and the Solar Eclipse in
your relationship zone, you’re keen to
motivate, encourage and inspire others.
But Mercury is retrograde, so you’ll need
to utilise your well-developed diplomatic
skills. Librans are the fashionistas
of the zodiac, so it’s up to you to lead the
way towards a more sustainable future.
Wisdom for the week comes from fashion
designer/innovator (and birthday great)
Vivienne Westwood, “Buy less, choose
well, make it last.”

Jump off the comfy couch! The Solar
Eclipse (in Aries) encourages you to be
proudly proactive as you get your body
moving, set challenging daily goals and
then actively pursue them. Not sure how
to do that? Try rubbing shoulders with
your kickass Aries friends … they’ll show
you how to crank up your motivation and
energise your enthusiasm. But Mercury
is in retrograde mode, so be careful you
don’t stir up trouble and play power
games.
With your sparky Sagittarian mojo and
momentum running on high speed,
you’re ready to rock and roll! Monday
night’s fiery Solar Eclipse activates your
leisure and pleasure zone, so all forms of
entertainment will appeal as you socialise
with friends and enjoy yourself to the
max. However – with Mercury reversing
through your friendship zone – be
careful you don’t say the wrong thing to
the wrong person. Think things through
before you speak.
The Solar Eclipse promises a fresh
start involving family plans, a domestic
situation, or a new housemate. But the
Mars/Saturn conjunction – and retro
Mercury – could delay a project, exacerbate
a misunderstanding, or frustrate
a financial situation. So proceed with
a pragmatic attitude plus plenty of
caution. Family and friends are the ones
who matter. As Michelle Obama (a fellow
Capricorn) observes, “Surround yourself
with people who will make you better.”
