Weekly Astrological Horoscopes: March 31st to April 6th 2012

Aries

This week the planets align to shape your horoscope in a positive way. You may find yourself approaching a time of self-realization as the hopes you have long ignored or suppressed finally rise to the surface. You could find yourself enthusiastic about your new plans. This fuels your natural charisma, perhaps convincing others to have as much faith in your ideas as you do.

Taurus

February probably brought you new knowledge of yourself and of life. April could truly be spectacular. This week might be a true turning point as it offers the opportunity to but this knowledge into practice.

Gemini

You might find yourself involved in many different projects this week, and this naturally leads to meeting new people. Don’t brush off these contacts, as you might meet someone who will influence your career in a positive way. This week your ability to get along with people may make you the perfect event organizer. Take advantage of this and perhaps host an event or help a friend to plan their own.

Cancer

As a Cancer, your week may be exceptional. Everyone seems to want you around and this boosts your self-confidence. At work, you may find a promotion in the offering, but it is something you should consider carefully. You may wish instead to spend more time with family, especially young children. However, do not exclude the possibility of focusing on both your career and your family. This week Cancer may just be able to do both.

Leo

Last week, the Sun held sway, giving you an advantage. This week, you may have to work a little harder. Your timing might be off this week, so consider putting off important projects until next week. However, you may find yourself looking for a challenge, so if you’ve wanted to learn a new language or take a class, this might be the right week to start.

Virgo

Oddly enough, it may be your partner who experiences your traditional good luck this week. He or she may experience luck in business, and you’ll be delighted for them. Personally, you might feel a little competitive, so look for constructive ways to express this tendency. This week may also be a good time to put some fire back into your romance. Try something new and your partner may thank you for it.

Libra

Libra may have an important week in all forms of relationships. This might be your week to really resonate with people, both personally and in business, so take advantage of this. Look for opportunities to let your budding personality shine through.

Scorpio

You’ll need to be flexible if you want to take advantage of the planetary alignment for the week. Look for a new start at work and keep a positive attitude and you might impress the people you’ve been trying to impress for weeks. Someone new may enter your life. This could be a new romantic partner, or even the adoption of a new pet.

Sagittarius

If you’re currently single but looking for love, this week just might be what you’ve been waiting for. Don’t turn down any invitations, because they might open doors you didn’t even know were closed. For those who are content with their love life, try exploring your own creativity with your family.

Capricorn

This week might bring closure as a long-standing problem in your home life moves toward resolution. And though February may have seemed chaotic, when you look back you see that most of what happened was probably for the best anyway. April should bring sunnier skies and a brighter social life.

Aquarius

Your powers of intellect and intuition may be heightened this week and you might find success both at work and at home. A gathering hosted in your own home may be particularly enlightening. Financially you may achieve what you’ve been hoping for. If you’ve been experiencing difficulties with your siblings, with week may be the time to ease the strain and reconcile.

Pisces

Pisces might experience financial success this week and have the urge to spend. However, you must continually balance this urge with the money you have coming in. Make sure you don’t spend more than you have available. You may also have to fight temptation when it comes to your favorite tasty treats. Use this week to revisit the idea of self-discipline.

Weekly Astrological Horoscopes: March 24th to March 30th 2012

Aries

You’re no stranger to confrontation, but this time you’ll be caught off guard. This may be because you didn’t expect any conflict with this particular person. Don’t let your surprise create a rift between you and someone you care about. Think before you speak and don’t get defensive.

Taurus

While last week may have been close to perfect, this week the planets aren’t helping. You could find yourself rethinking many things you’ve been certain of and yearning for the familiar. That’s to be expected, but try something new anyway, even if it’s a small something. You might find it rekindles the fire inside you.

Gemini

Someone in your life may be trying to control you. They have good intentions, but only you know what’s truly right for you. The urge to break away from this person and spend some time alone may overwhelm you. You might want to consider taking some time for yourself. But at some point, you’ll have to have a conversation with the person trying to control your life.

Cancer

People around you may be unreliable this week, so double-check everything. This applies at home and at work, so keep your eyes open, even if people claim they did something. Maybe they did do it, but maybe they just think they did it. At home, the dynamics may be changing without your knowledge.

Leo

Your natural desire for independence is riding his this week. So when you’re asked to be there for others and display your inner generosity, you might want to run away. Focus on your responsibilities before indulging yourself and you’ll be able to satisfying both yourself and others.

Virgo

Sometimes things just fall apart and there’s nothing you can do about it. This week may be one of those times. But before you just throw up your hands in despair, try really listening to the people around you. Someone is angry because they haven’t been heard, so try to open your ears.

Libra

Work may become a burden this week, but resist the urge to take your work home with you. Your friends and family will not appreciate it. Instead, focus on work while you’re working. If trouble with a coworker suddenly arises, try to shrug it off. It’s probably not worth the time it would take to deal with it.

Scorpio

Scorpio can be intense, and this week is no exception. Tensions rise at home and at work and things quickly approach their boiling point. Look for ways to relieve your own tension before it spills over and affects those you love the most.

Sagittarius

Things at home can get a little irritating this week. Your family and friends may be distinctly unhelpful as you try to sort things out. An honest and open conversation might help, but not everything will be amenable to the ideas that spring forth. You can’t please everyone.

Capricorn

You might feel insecure either emotionally or physically this week. Take a few deep breaths and reexamine your situation. There might be minor changes you can make so that you feel more comfortable with things as they unfold. Someone close to you won’t like these changes, but your own peace of mind is important too.

Aquarius

Someone you care about will surprise you with an opinion this week. They may have kept silent in the past, but your recent decisions have made them speak out. Part of the problem between you may be a simple miscommunication. A few words can resolve this, but only if you’re willing to listen.

Pisces

You’ve been moving along smoothly, but now you’ll come to a fork in the road. A decision has to be made, and you’re the one who has to make it. Advice from friends and family is all well and good, but it’s your life. Take a look at both options and decide which is best for you. One of them will be safe and familiar, the other rather scary. However, the latter promises the greater reward.

Astrological Houses: The Seventh House in Brief

The Seventh House is defined by the First House. The degree of the First House/Ascendant is in direct opposition to the Seventh House. Therefore, one is defined by the other. The Seventh House is also referred to as the Descendant because it is the point at which the planets descend below the horizon.

Since the basic meaning of the First House is you, the basic meaning of the Seventh House is others. In general, this refers to the public. It can also refer to your business partners and especially to your committed lover or marriage partner.

In a horoscope, the sign and planets in your Seventh House will say a lot about how you experience the people in your life in general. Specifically, this refers to how you experience the energies of the partnerships that might enter your life.

The Seventh House is ruled by the planet Venus and the sign Libra.

Weekly Astrological Horoscopes: March 17th to March 23rd 2012

Aries

You’re strong willed, but so is someone else in your life. This week, you’ll clash and there’s not a whole lot you can do to avoid confrontation. Not that Aries is one to avoid confrontation in the first place! But despite the conflict, this week can be a profitable one. Look for the opportunity to increase your wealth and grab it with both hands.

Taurus

The planets are in your corner this week. Things may come easier to you, but you’ll still have to work for them. Action is called for, but make sure your ducks are all in a row first. Careful planning will lead directly to success, but you may have to enlist the aid of someone you’ve tangled with in the past.

Gemini

Confusion had muddled your brain in the past weeks, but this week the fog can begin to clear. The Sun works with Mercury to help clear up misunderstandings, so if you’ve been struggling to understand someone or something, this is the time to really tackle the problem. You might also want to readdress your long-term plans. Remember, plans are subject to change, and long-term plans don’t always turn out the way you wish.

Cancer

If you’ve felt socially awkward in the past few weeks, now’s the time to get over it. You’ll need a good network of contacts to succeed in a business endeavor. Look for changes to expand your network, and watch for a social invitation that seems to come out of the blue. This could be an opportunity to meet someone valuable to your career.

Leo

Good old wanderlust tempts you this week, but rein yourself in for a while. There’s something close to home that desperately needs your attention before you begin exploring new opportunities. But when this situation has been truly taken care of, you might have the time to indulge a few impulses.

Virgo

Your stubborn streak has just been waiting to cause trouble, and this week it gets the opportunity as your mind hardens against new ideas and even new people. But ideas and the people who come up with them are vitally important to a Virgo. Step back and decide if your stubbornness is actually doing anything for you. If it’s not, let it go.

Libra

If there is one thing you’ll need this week, it’s patience. Patience to endure a short-lived by nasty situation. Patience to handle the turbulent emotions of someone close to you. And patience to figure out what exactly you want to get out of all this. Hang in there. All this will pay off, and in a big way, if you can just play the role of mediator for a little while longer.

Scorpio

As much fun as it may be to indulge in the fun and frivolity of past weeks, these things do eventually catch up with you. Certain elements of your life are about to spiral out of control, so get a handle on things while you still can. Also, a dear friend is looking for a shoulder to cry on but it too scared to ask. Can you be that shoulder?

Sagittarius

Your outgoing nature of these past weeks may have opened up new opportunities, but it’s also isolated someone you care about. Take a look in your own backyard and identify those people you require you attention. Once you’ve done this, you can once again pursue life’s challenges, knowing that those you care about are well.  

Capricorn

Thoughts are great things, but they can act like poison when bottled up too long. Capricorns are more prone to this than other signs, so share what’s on your mind. Pick someone you trust with your deepest secrets and let them inside. A burden will be lifted and your relationship with this person will strengthen.

Aquarius

Someone may be trying to pull the wool over your eyes, but if you keep your wits about you, you’ll see through their manipulations in short order. Financially, things are looking up if you stop and pay attention to your cash flow. Also, your many ideas fill you close to bursting, so write some of them down and let your creativity manifest.

Pisces

You tend to set a plan in motion and forget about it, but this time you need to be a little more aware. A plan you’ve set into motion needs some attention to stay on track. There is a financial opportunity just waiting to present itself, but it may not look like what you’d expect. If you choose to pursue this opportunity, keep your eyes open.
