Weekly General Horoscopes (Updates on Monday) - 18 February 2019

Aries

Mars' departure from Aries last week has left you with the energy and motivation that to make Uranus' final weeks here count, though in a less urgent way. The pursuit of your own personal truth becomes even more important. This week will require a bit of a juggling act, with some divergent agendas in play. You not only have Venus in her last full week in your career sector and Mars in his first in your income sector, a Full Moon in your work sector midweek could act as a catalyst for forces across the income, work and career fronts. However, on Tuesday the Sun's return to a nostalgic, reflective but also intuitive and imaginative part of your chart begins the month long wind down of your old solar year. This is the point where you often find the wind taken out of your sails and even more so with Mars no longer in Aries. It is all about smart time management, knowing when to keep your work hat on and when to take it off.

Taurus

By no stretch of the imagination can this be considered an ordinary week or that it is business as usual. Life changed when Mars returned to Taurus last Thursday and this is just a taste of things to come. For the first time this year, you are likely to feel you have the energy and motivation to throw yourself into things. Yet Mars holds the keys to much bigger doors than just a new Mars cycle, with Uranus just weeks away from his return to Taurus early next month. It is Uranus that will bring the big changes and open major new doors, but it is Mars who has returned ahead of time to give you the courage to embrace what lies ahead. Pay attention to where you are starting to feel frustrated or restless because this will be Mars itching to take action. Normally Mars would encourage you to rush into things without thinking, but even he knows that Uranus' light will reveal everything.

Gemini

There is a lot of change this week, literally from one day to the next. One shift that will have quite an impact is the Sun's departure from an adventurous part of your chart on Tuesday and return to your career sector. This might create a case of Mondayitis, with a push to make the most of the final burst of adventurous solar vibes. If this is an itch that is impossible to itch because of life's demands, this can be put down on a bucket list for not this weekend but the weekend after. For it is later next week that Venus will return to an adventurous part of your chart to take over from where the Sun leaves off. In the meantime, while the Sun returns to your career sector at this time every year, as the solar spotlight shifts onto your career and professional situation, matters and options, this will reveal a sea change. From the get go Neptune, the planet of dreams is empowered, breathing life into both old and new professional dreams.

Cancer

Mars' departure from your career sector last week has taken away some of the urgency and the pressure, but this is still a professionally focused week. Work and job matters have settled into a more sustainable rhythm and career matters will reach that point early next month. There could be some expected developments on the income front in the first part of the week, as the Moon comes full circle from last month's lunar eclipse in your income sector. This could have a ripple effect across the income, work and career fronts, especially if you get out of the way and let things evolve naturally. This is one time when fate needs to take the wheel. In the meantime, while the Sun starts the week with the solar spotlight on your financial situation and money matters, things take an exciting turn on Tuesday. This is when the Sun returns to spend the next month in an adventurous part of your chart.

Leo

There is a lot of action across the income, work and career fronts this week, in an exciting and potentially game changing way. It is a case of the right things falling into place at the right time or of the stars literally aligning. It is a happy coincidence that Mars is spending his first full week in your career sector just as Venus is spending her last in your work sector. Mars has returned to forge a trail for major forces travelling in his footsteps and on Wednesday will be just two weeks away. Venus, on the other hand, begins the week aligned with Saturn and ends the week aligned with Pluto, the two planets that are giving you the power to move mountains if you have to on the job front this week. What sets everything in motion is a Full Moon in your income sector on Wednesday, sending positive and electrifying pulses throughout the income, work and career fronts. Fortunately, there are enough safeguards to ensure life doesn't become all work and no play.

Virgo

There is a stunning shift taking place that is giving you the best in both worlds a chance to finally find the balance that eluded you last year. With Mars in his first full week in an adventurous part of your chart and Venus her last in a playful part of your chart, this is an exciting week on both fronts. Yet while this should be an entertaining interlude, with Venus leaving later next week and Mars only here for six weeks, this is anything but. Venus and Mars are spearheads for forces that will not only in play for the rest of this year, but for years to come. At the same time, when the Sun leaves your work sector on Tuesday, taking the solar spotlight off your work situation, job matters and options, things will keep evolving. In fact, by the time Venus returns later next week, there will be something low key but positive developing across the income, work and career fronts. In the meantime, the Sun turns his focus onto your relationships.

Libra

There is a lot of change in the air this week. After Mars left your relationship sector and returned to your financial sector last week, we have two more planetary shifts and a Full Moon this week. It begins with Chiron's departure from your work sector on Monday and return to your relationship sector where, as the planet of healing he is able to follow in Mars' footsteps and begin the healing process. In the meantime, this sets work and job matters free to look to the future rather than the past. This comes just a day before the Sun returns to take over from where Chiron left off, with a chance to draw a new line in the sand on the job front. While there is a lot of shifts at the moment, it is more a case of the planets playing musical chairs and taking over from where the other left off. The only truly new energy in play this week is on the adventurous front and from Wednesday's social and serendipitous Full Moon.

Scorpio

Mars' departure from your work sector last week has dialled things back, with the frenetic pace the warrior planet of the cosmos likes to set gone. Yet things are still likely to be busy, with the early part of the week potentially auspicious for income, work and career matters. This is all thanks to the Moon, which not only returns to your career sector on Monday but comes full circle from last month's lunar eclipse. Anything triggered on a Full Moon, eclipsing or otherwise, sets wheels in motion that often don't fully reveal themselves until the Moon comes full circle. It is the Moon's positive aspect to the remaining planets in your income and work sectors, that could trigger unexpected developments across the income, work and career fronts. In the meantime, Mars has turned his attention to your relationships, just as the Sun turns his attention to matters of the heart and all things fun, playful, romantic and creative from Tuesday.

Sagittarius

When Mars left a fun, playful, romantic and creatively charged part of your chart last week and returned to your work sector, this could have created a shift that makes life all work and no play. Yet even without the adventurous lunar vibes at the start of this week, that was never going to happen. However, this week has the potential to become one of the most stunning weeks of this professional year. Yet as you move into both an exciting professional week and a busy new era, there is a need to trust that you can have it all. What makes this week so stunning is not just Mars' first full week in your work sector or Venus' last in your income sector, but a Full Moon in your career sector midweek that electrify things across the income, work and career fronts. While the Moon is only passing through, this is a trigger for forces in the income and job fronts that are not only in play for the rest of this year but for several years to come.

Capricorn

It is fair to say that as Venus spends her last full week in Capricorn, she is having a very good week, one of her best ever. Venus returned after your birthday month ended, finally giving your heart a voice, with all her agendas getting a boost this week. As the planet of love, Venus has returned to update your romantic and relationship desires and expectations and begin the process of attracting what you want. Venus has also returned to give your heart a voice and a say in what you want from the coming year. Venus returned to find some extraordinary support on the relationship front and as Mars spends his first full week in playful and romantically charged part of your chart, support on the romantic front as well. Venus will spend the first two days of the week aligned with Saturn and the weekend aligned with Pluto, together making it clear that you have the power to move mountains if you have to.

Aquarius

By moving into the new week, you are also moving into the final hours of your birthday month, with the Sun leaving Aquarius on Tuesday. Yet don't be surprised if things feel unfinished or perturbed that you don't yet have a clear sense of what you want from this new solar year. How could you, with Venus held back by a retrograde phase last year and not returning to Aquarius until later next week. It is then that your heart will find its voice and with the more mundane aspects of getting a new solar year off the ground over, gain your full attention. In the meantime, the Sun returns to your income sector, as he always does when he leaves Aquarius each year. From the get go this is likely to feel different, with Chiron's departure on Monday finally setting you free from keeping one eye on the rear view mirror. As the Sun turns the spotlight onto your income situation, matters and options, there is some serious momentum on the job and career fronts from the get go.

Pisces

For all of us there is a huge amount of change, but for you, this will have a deep and personal impact. Fortunately, for all the right reasons. Even Mars' return to your communication sector last week will have positive implications, especially with a Full Moon in your relationship sector on Wednesday. However, the most important changes are those happening close to home. It begins with Chiron, the planet of healing's departure from Pisces on Monday, ending a visit that began in 2010. This ends a need to be constantly reliving the past, with a chance to leave old ghosts behind you. And the timing couldn't be better, for less than 24 hours later the Sun returns to Pisces to begin your birthday month and new solar year. While a Full Moon in your relationship sector on Wednesday might create some personal and/or relationship tensions, you not only have Mars in your communication sector but Mercury, the planet of communication in Pisces.
