Watch out world! This week the Sun
squares Pluto (in your sign) and there’s
a Full Moon in your career/public/
reputation zone. So you need to find
appropriate ways to let off steam, and
choose challenging projects to channel
all your electric energy into. It’s also time
to embrace and celebrate your contrary,
quirky Aquarian side. As birthday great
Barbra Streisand observes, “I am simple,
complex, generous, selfish, unattractive,
beautiful, lazy and driven.”
Tuesday night’s Full Moon shines
a bright spotlight on travel, communication
and/or education. And your
financial future looks rosier this week, as
the planets activate your money zone in
positive ways (Mercury moves forwards
on Thursday and lucky Venus is visiting
until April 29). So – whether you get a pay
rise, take on a second job, cash in some
investments, organise a garage sale or
sell an important asset – it’s time to make
hay while the Sun shines!
Mercury has been reversing through
your sign, which can cause misunderstandings
with other people and lots
of self-doubt. Mercury finally moves
forwards on Thursday and – hopefully
– you have learned a thing or two over
the last few weeks. Your motto for the
moment is from Barbra Streisand,
“Doubt can motivate you, so don’t be
afraid of it. Confidence and doubt are at
two ends of the scale, and you need both.
They balance each other out.”

This week the Sun, Jupiter and Uranus
are jumping through your sign, the Full
Moon revs up your relationship zone,
and Mercury moves forwards. So avoid
getting stuck in a static way of thinking
and a routine way of behaving. A current
situation (or problem) has more flexible
options and exciting possibilities than
you previously thought. Your motto is
from movie star (and birthday great)
Barbra Streisand, “I just don’t want to be
hampered by my own limitations.”
On Thursday, Mercury (your ruling
planet) finally moves forwards which
will boost your confidence, energy levels,
and personal magnetism. But there’s also
a tricky Full Moon so, if you indulge in
gossip and make hasty pronouncements,
you could end up in a complicated mess.
There’s a lot going on behind the scenes
that you’re not aware of. Smart Twins
will do some detective work (and check
the facts thoroughly) before you proceed
with your plans.
The Sun, Jupiter and Uranus are
visiting your networking zone, and the
Full Moon stimulates your friendship
zone. So the more you mix and mingle,
and the more connections you make,
the better the week will be. Looking for
employment? It’s time to capitalise on
all the contacts you have. From family
and friends to colleagues and casual
acquaintances. Don’t wait for opportunities
to magically appear. Be proactive
about following your dreams!

Prepare for a colourful week Cats! On
Monday, the Sun/Pluto square will amp
up your bossy side. Then Tuesday night’s
Full Moon falls in your home zone so
be on domestic drama alert. Confiscate
all sharp implements and choose your
words wisely, as loved ones are liable
to make mountains out of molehills.
Mercury moves forwards on Thursday
which favours travel, education and
communication as you socialise with a
wide range of cosmopolitan people.
After nearly three weeks of confusion,
chaos, delays and/or dramas, Mercury
(your patron planet) finally turns direct
on Thursday – yeah! Plus the Sun, Jupiter,
Uranus and the Full Moon activate your
travel, education and adventure zones,
which encourages you to explore exciting
new horizons. The wider your circle
of friends and acquaintances, the more
influence you will have in the big world
outside your door. Being curious and
confident are the keys.
This week the planetary focus is on
money and business matters, as Tuesday
night’s Full Moon fires up your finance
zones. But the lingering Sun/Pluto
square could throw a partnership challenge
in your direction (perhaps involving
jealous behaviour or a power struggle).
Your ruling planet Venus is visiting
your relationship zone (until April 29)
and Mercury turns direct on Thursday,
so do your best to play the perceptive,
diplomatic Libran peacemaker.

Monday starts with the lingering
effects of the intense Sun/Pluto square,
which could amp up your control-freak
tendencies. And then the Full Moon
lights up your sign on Tuesday night,
which could magnify your compulsive
side. You’re determined to win an argument
or solve a problem but don’t step on
other people’s toes in the process. And
don’t get stuck in a stultifying rut. Less
confrontation and more cooperation will
get you where you want to go.
Mercury is still retrograde until
Thursday so there could be a misunderstanding
with a child, teenager or friend.
Choose your words carefully and look
to your trusted circle of loved ones for
comfort and support. With the Full Moon
stimulating your seclusion zone you’ll
find rest, relaxation, meditation and/
or contemplation are essential. Shirley
Maclaine says, “The most profound
relationship we will ever have is the one
with ourselves.”
This week you’ll find life’s complicated,
partnerships are unpredictable, and
the rules are constantly changing, as
unresolved relationship difficulties or
financial issues come back to test you.
Maybe you need to simplify your life, cull
some of your commitments, or finally
give a fair-weather friend the flick? Plus
find time to spruce up your living space
so Casa Capricorn is more comfortable
and beautiful. Fresh flowers and relaxing
music are a must!
