Your Weekly Horoscope By Element - April 5 - 11, 2010

The Air Signs

Gemini, Libra, Aquarius

Trust your instincts this week and you'll be glad you did, Air Signs! You often forget to listen to that inner voice. On Tuesday make sure you look beneath the surface when you interact with others. Don't ignore warning signals. You normally navigate the social scene with ease, but on Thursday you'll be at a loss when you interact with others. The Moon squares Venus, and you won't be on the same wavelength as your associates. You might become entangled in a mildly embarrassing social faux pas. Don't worry. You'll be back on top of your social game by the weekend. Your sense of positive optimism will be strong when the Moon conjuncts lyrical Neptune in Aquarius on Friday. You'll find that your inspiration skyrockets. You'll revel in your unconventional attitude this weekend and concoct a new image for yourself on Sunday. Also on Sunday you may decide to obtain a friend of the four-legged variety and become a pet owner.

Your Love Week—Air Signs:

This week you might feel your own "narrow place" closing in as that celebration of freedom ends Tuesday. Air signs, if you're in love or just playing, be kind and considerate. If you're not yet attached, you easily could fall head over heels. Pluto in Capricorn helps you follow the rules Monday and Tuesday, and Tuesday's Sun-Moon square lets you think inside the box about creatively meeting basic emotional needs. Whatever you're waiting for, patience is rewarded by Wednesday's Moon-Saturn trine. Luckily, the Moon sextiles Uranus just before it changes signs early Wednesday, and love is about what you think and feel instead of how you look. Thursday, focus more on the friendship than the other benefits. Any work you put into your relationship is easier on Thursday, with a rewarding emotional breakthrough on Friday. Once the Pisces Moon takes over, lie back and enjoy your weekend as your lover rewards you for keeping it real Starting Love and lust blend on Saturday night, bringing you the best of both worlds.

The Fire Signs

Aries, Leo, Sagittarius

Fire Signs, you are usually too busy to think! However, this week you will become much more reflective, starting when profound Pluto turns retrograde on Tuesday. Your romantic week kick-starts Tuesday with the Moon-Sun square and Moon-Jupiter sextile. If you're working on a project with your partner or working to win somebody's heart, everything cooperates. As Pluto retrogrades Tuesday, you may feel like giving troubled relationships and hopeful pitches another chance. So when Saturn enforces the rules of the game on Wednesday, play along. A new responsibility will be added to your to-do list on Wednesday. Finding time for your task will prove a bit of a challenge. You could go window-shopping on Thursday and not be direct on Friday. You'll feel a bit domestic on Sunday. You may spend time in your kitchen and prepare some of your favorite comfort foods. Your sweetie will notice and won't appreciate it. Remember, you're both on the same side as you mend fences Sunday afternoon.

Your Love Week—Fire Signs:

Fire Sign's challenging week begins with a Mars-Mercury square and Mars-Moon quincunx. Someone gets the wrong idea when emotion overrides communication. You have a loud roar, Fire Signs, and this week an associate will discover how strident you can be when you're angry. On Monday Mercury squares Mars in fiery Leo and you'll engage in a war of words with this person. Since Pluto retrogrades early Tuesday, forgiveness and trust could be a long time coming. If you're too eager for sexual opportunity as the Moon transits Aquarius Wednesday through Friday and opposes Mars, romantic overtures might look like battlefield tactics. You'll return to your home to take care of family issues on Saturday. Allow time to sort out your domestic matters. Be sure to respect your lover's ambitions and feelings on Saturday and Sunday even if you plan to be gone soon. On Sunday evening your attention turns to mystical subjects. You'll read a book that will help you develop spiritual insight.

The Water Signs

Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces

You are usually laid-back in your approach to life, Water Signs. This week you'll surprise yourself with your desire to go after what you want with gusto! This week you’ll approach life intensely. On Monday you'll bring a bold attitude to your life experience. You won't back down when you run up against challenges. On Monday Mercury squares aggressive Mars and you'll come up against someone who isn't on your side, to say the least. Before you aim your arrows, consider if your energy would be better spent creating a new lifestyle for yourself. Let it all go, Water Signs! Your self-esteem will rise on Saturday, and you'll like what you see when you look in the mirror as the Moon in Pisces sextiles Venus. You'll have the confidence to strut your stuff. You may become a mentor to a young person over the weekend. Remember that you have a lot to give to others, and they can benefit from your experience.

Your Love Week—Water Signs:

This week, playing the game of love means recognizing just how flexible the rules are. Monday's Moon-Pluto conjunction brings support for something you don't have to face alone. If your lover or date wants creativity during Tuesday's Moon-Sun square, don't disappoint. When Pluto retrogrades Tuesday, it's your big chance to correct a recent relationship mistake. If single, start mapping your recovery time between partners. Early Wednesday, just before that Moon passes from conventional Capricorn to anarchistic Aquarius, it sextiles Uranus with a cosmic wink. You might encounter players out of your league, but maybe they'll teach you something. Like Harry and Sally, future lovers might be at war on Wednesday. Friday night opens the door for a weekend of introspection or escape. But running from yourself is a fool's game. Friday night, you get to choose whom you hang with and what you do together. By Saturday evening, you'll see the version of you that your present or future partner deserves to get.

The Earth Signs

Virgo and Capricorn

Virgo, your innate shrewdness will kick in this week. You'll feel like you're on top of the world! On Monday the Moon trines Venus, and your sense of personal well-being will be strong. That's a good thing, because on Tuesday a difficult life choice will confront you when Mercury trines discerning Pluto. You will make sure you select the right option. Cabin fever may hit you on Saturday. You often long for a change of scenery, but sometimes cannot get yourself out of the house! Consider planning a weekend excursion. Your intuition will be on target when the Moon sextiles Mercury in Taurus on Saturday. You'll devote a lot of thought to the best way to present yourself to others. On Sunday a new hobby will cure your feeling of boredom and stagnation. You'll find a new friend and discover a compatible companion. It's a great time to get out and meet new people.

Your Love Week—Earth Signs:

Despite a trend toward long-term commitment (or recovering from a major breakup), expect a few quick changes this week as Mercury, interacts with the Moon. With Monday's trine, consider changing your personal style or redecorating your love nest. Mercury and Venus play tag in Taurus this week. If you're seeking love or shopping with your partner on Monday, you're happy with what you get when the Capricorn Moon trines both planets. But once it enters Aquarius and squares them, Wednesday and Thursday could bring denial, roving gazes, and partying with friends to avoid your sweetie. With this square, you'll question everything about your lover, ex, or intended. After Pluto retrogrades on Tuesday, remember that your current romantic course might not deviate much before mid-September. Tired of games by Friday night? The Pisces Moon sextiles those two inner planets for a Saturday of witty banter, wicked ideas, and romantic harmony. This sextile sets you on fire with big, crazy plans that might actually work.
