Your Weekly Horoscope By Element - Feb. 27 - March 4, 2012

WEEKLY UPDATE

A long cycle has come to a close. There's something you've been struggling with over the past few months, and you probably feel like you've had to jump a few hurdles to deal with whatever this issue is. Fortunately, it's now time to breathe a sigh of relief! Clear decisions come as well as a favorable resolution.

Many of us may not be as busy as we expect at this time. Everything seems to be in slow motion. We feel as if we have sufficient time to finish our jobs with the Moon's presence in sensible Taurus early in the week. The Moon forms a fluid Grand Trine with powerful Pluto in ambitious Capricorn and energetic Mars in hardworking Virgo. Although we would rather daydream, we must take the time to simplify our goals while persistently pushing ahead. Things will pick up speed mid-April

On February 26th, communications planet Mercury enters the shadow period of its coming retrograde cycle at 23 degrees Pisces. The shadow period before it turns retrograde at 7 degrees Aries gives you hints about the issues in your life you will be dealing with after Mercury actually turns retrograde on March 12th. In Pisces, you want to pay attention to intuition, your immune system, feet, and enhancing your meditation or prayer time. Mercury then moves into Aries on March 2nd, which can help your exercise program. It can also stimulate you to get moving in other areas of your life, but do be careful of impatience or speaking impulsively.

On February 28th, the Sun in Pisces will pair up with powerful Pluto, signaling an end to whatever burdens you've been shouldering lately. In addition to simply letting you know that your problem is finally solved, Pluto's presence ensures that your recent ordeal has taught you a valuable lesson about who you are and how much you can accomplish. It may have also shown you that different responses bring better results.

Mixing fast words and tender emotions makes for a volatile social environment this weekend. Chatty Mercury moves into impulsive Aries to spark lively conversations on Friday, yet feelings are easily bruised with the Moon's entry into super-sensitive Cancer at the same time. Honestly assessing personal needs can be a tough task, but one that's necessary for relationships to flourish now. You're now completing a cycle and walking away stronger and more resilient, and if a situation like this arises again, you'll be ready to handle it with ease and reassurance!

The Air Signs

Gemini, Libra, Aquarius

As this week opens, you might feel out of sorts without knowing why. Mars is stirring up your psyche, and this could be causing you to feel unsettled. You might wonder where your confidence went and notice that your dreams seem to be encouraging you to sort out long-overdue issues. This is a time to take a careful and thorough look at your health. Make a few decisions with a view to making your well-being a priority. The focus on your career continues, but so does the interference associated with home and family. You may want to get ahead, but you can't do as much as you'd like because of other obligations. Patience is the key. Also be willing to research your options and do what you can while still keeping your main goal in mind. You could become even more outspoken as Mercury moves into Aries on Friday. You'll be doing a lot more mental work, too. Don't live on your nerves. Be sure to relax. Saturday could be particularly frustrating, so don't force the pace. Financial issues need delicate handling. It will help if you keep control of your money and make this a habit for the foreseeable future. You need a strategy that enables you to track what you have and focus on how much you want to earn. Time to prepare your tax return, as it could be an eye-opener and offer some wise lessons. Your social life looks good, but don't pick Sunday for that crucial first date. Otherwise, go out and have fun. Spring weather is on the way, Air Signs.

Your Love Week—Air Signs:

This week may not bring much in the way of dynamic action when it comes to your romantic life, but it does promise much tender affection, and the ability to be able to share your thoughts very sweetly with your nearest and dearest. There is the possibility of some wonderful evenings in a very delightful setting, the whispering of sweet nothings and plenty of melting moments. You are not sure whether to go for it or not. You know that the person in question holds a deep fascination for you, and the thought of being close to them makes you melt. Yet something, some minor detail that you can't quite put your finger on is holding you back. You need to decide one way or the other. However, take your time and get to know this person a bit. There’s lots of room for decisions later in the year. Intellect is wonderful, Air Signs, but it can't answer the questions posed by the heart this weekend. There's no logic or system that can put relationships on the fast track, so give your brain a rest and let your feelings lead the way. A permanent commitment is not like going for fast food. It needs stirring and simmering as well as lots of love. Sure, this emotional journey can take you into some unfamiliar territory, but you need to be courageous and brave to find the kind of love that you desire. Adjusting to your constant changing feelings isn't easy but is the best way to deepen intimacy now.

Don’t allow combustion. Go with the flow this weekend. Don't make waves. Remember, Mars is still retrograde and there may be delays and confusion, so watch out for this, especially on Saturday.

Your Love Week—Fire Signs:

As far as long-term relationships are concerned, you might find it difficult to see eye to eye. You could be frustrated as your best efforts seem to come to naught. Mars is retrograde, so this isn't the best time to initiate anything new, including love relationships or creative projects. Don't worry about small undertakings, but be careful if a lot of money is involved. You could find yourself backtracking and needing to go over work that you thought you'd finished. With both Mars and Saturn retrograde, trying to force success might have the opposite effect. You'll get more done if you take each day as it comes. Jupiter continues to move through Taurus, so you're lucky in love. The only problem you might have is misunderstanding the signals someone sends you. If in doubt, wait until you're certain. The weekend could be problematic if you're trying to meet a deadline or looking for that feeling of deep satisfaction. Drop your expectations and find pleasure in the simple things of life.

Your Love Week—Earth Signs

You will want to go forward, Earth Signs, but may end up going backward. You could desire to state exactly how you feel, yet give away not a single feeling though you ramble on about love for hours. The alignment of the planets makes everything about your romantic life blurred and indistinct, yet provocatively hopeful. Don't give up, as this could be one of your most entertaining weeks for some time! Everyone dreams, but is the attention and interpretation we give to them that makes the difference between whether they come true or remain night visions. The current aspect encourages you to pay attention to one particular dream and bring it to fulfillment. It certainly involves someone special, and also involves you taking the initiative in some way or other. All you need to do is dare to take the plunge. You might feel a little like an outsider this weekend, which is fine if you prefer peace and privacy over a busy social life. Venus opposes responsible Saturn on Sunday, which is more about dealing with relationship realities than preparing or expecting romance. Still, a pleasurable time is possible when doing simple things with a positive attitude and a practical partner.
