The Stars This Week: "Act On Your Desires" - March 31 - April 6, 2008

[I Have A Dream]

Act On Your Desires

03/31/08 - 04/06/08

The larger trend of the week is to begin a several-month review of what you're building into your life with Pluto's retrograde beginning on April 1. But even more important is to begin something new with both Mercury and Venus entering the first sign of the zodiac: Mercury on April 2 and Venus on April 5. Additionally, a new Moon in Aries occurs on April 5. With so much Aries energy, make sure you plan activities so that the warrior side of Aries doesn't get irritable and start picking a fight.

April 1: Pluto turns retrograde

Pay attention! This marks the first time that Pluto turns retrograde in Capricorn since entering this sign last January 25 and, as with any retrograde, it's time for a review. Think back to the beginning of February to get a sense of what you've been building into your life. Transforming and reforming are two key concepts of Pluto, while Capricorn is concerned with achievement. As the world is focused on rebuilding systems and infrastructure and how to make them more solid, tune in to what you can do to rehab your own life system.

April 2: Mercury enters Aries

When the planet of communication enters this pioneering yet impulsive sign, your brain gets fired up and you are likely to be especially creative and enthusiastic. So, give your mind a project or else Mercury in this warrior sign may start stirring the pot. Why waste this fabulous transit on conflict when you can use the initiative of this sign to dream up something new!

April 5: Venus enters Aries

Chivalry is not dead! The planet of love in a sign that is gallant, fun and creative brings out the knight or knight-ess in shining armor. Who wants to wait on the sidelines when you can gallop right into the arms of your romantic interest! With this fire sign, make sure you set time aside for activities. This is not a stay-at-home placement. Have fun courting! Bring your partner flowers, plan a vacation or train for the marathon. It is the doing that sparks love --so get moving!

[Fire Walk With Me]

1. Thank you; I'm doing so on at least one level, and it's working.

2. This week was (mostly) great.

I was seized with an uncharacteristic desire to go WAY outside my comfort zone and decided to go with it in the name of personal growth. High emotional risk, big pay off. It totally worked. (I think.) Didn't solve all my problems, but it was a nice reminder that I'm have more power than ever to do so now.
