Keeping in Line with the Planets This Week

The week ahead is a very "touchy-feely" one. Some of you will just want to sit on the couch and cuddle with your honey. Some folks will be more sensitive than usual and very intuitive. The overall theme is relationships however. If you are single, you will definitely feel you are ready and want someone special in your life. You will begin to really think about how to go about meeting someone and making time for a relationship in your busy life. Many people claim they want love but they seldom make room for it by keeping so busy with their career, etc, there is little time or room left for a partner.

If attached, you may be feeling there is not enough time to nurture your current relationship and look to do just that. You may book a vacation, get married or take the next step to make the relationship more solid.

Time will be a commodity to many of you as you begin to realize that work is important but more importantly, is making time to enjoy life. This may hit a lot of you like a ton of bricks....."I'm not enjoying life because I'm working all of the time!" So many of you, will make a conscious effort to scale back and enjoy life more. What would make you most happy ? Do you really need to work so hard....and for what? The universe will work with you to make sure you have success and prosperity to have more time for fun. But you need to trust the universe to do this.

So, you'll be making big choices about moving away from what is draining your energy and trying to replace these things with more of what brings you happiness and contentment. Does this sound right?

On a different note, be careful of people who want to create power struggles within your world. You may find yourself caught up in controlling situations or with control freaks. Step aside. Don't fight them.

Coming into the weekend, you may feel a little stressed out but by Friday night, you will feel better and less stressed. It's a great night to connect with others and feel understood on an emotional level. Very intuitive weekend. The moon in Cancer is super for connecting with Spirit on Friday night and being extra intuitive on Saturday; helping you learn to develop your intuition.

However, there is another aspect from Mars that day that creates tension from an old emotional wound or issue that you were dealing with last Fall. It may come up again and you should try to look at it from a new and spiritual perspective.

Also mercury retrograde continues until April 5th so please wait until after this to start anything new or buy electronic equipment, etc. Double check travel plans too.

Mars retrograde continues until mid April so you can use this period to decide what you'd like to really do with your career path. Manifest where you'd like to be in two years as mars in virgo will help you with details and clarity.
