Weekly General Horoscopes (Updates on Monday) - 17 September 2018

Aries

In terms of where the most pressing focus is this week, it is on the job, financial, professional and adventurous fronts and that is quite a mix. The adventurous front is probably the most urgent and not just because it is only in effect during the early hours of the week and could easily be misinterpreted as a case of Mondayitis. You start the week with the Moon in an adventurous part of your chart, but with these adventurous lunar vibes gone by Tuesday, this could be seen more as a hangover from the weekend. Yet this is a taste of things to come. If the Moon does nothing more than inspire you to start a bucket list, then it has done its job. The Moon will then move on to your career sector, where the forces there are regrouping. With the Sun and Mercury leaving your work sector over the weekend, this will ensure your professional instincts and imagination are fuelled as you're tying up loose ends on the job front.

Taurus

A week that begins with the Sun and Mercury in a fun, playful, romantic and creatively charged part of your chart and ends with both in your work sector, was always going to challenge you to find a balance between work and play. Yet this is something that has to be taken seriously. For with Mars spending his first full week back in your career sector and the Sun and Mercury returning to your work sector over the weekend, this is the week when the push to bring your professional year home begins in earnest. What makes a balance between work and play even more of a priority, is that when the Sun and Mercury leaves a playful part of your chart over the weekend, this will bring all planetary activity to a close. Fortunately there are adventurous lunar vibes in effect during the first half of the week, which will merge with playful solar vibes.

Gemini

A week that begins with the Sun and Mercury in a fun, playful, romantic and creatively charged part of your chart and ends with both in your work sector, was always going to challenge you to find a balance between work and play. Yet this is something that has to be taken seriously. For with Mars spending his first full week back in your career sector and the Sun and Mercury returning to your work sector over the weekend, this is the week when the push to bring your professional year home begins in earnest. What makes a balance between work and play even more of a priority, is that when the Sun and Mercury leaves a playful part of your chart over the weekend, this will bring all planetary activity to a close. Fortunately there are adventurous lunar vibes in effect during the first half of the week, which will merge with playful solar vibes.

Cancer

While, with Venus and Jupiter now together in a fun, playful, romantic and creative part of your chart there is something fun and playful in the air, there is a need to start the week with your work hat on. The fact that this isn't for the whole week and is only on Monday, makes this both more urgent and more doable. What makes Monday so important is that the Moon is wrapping up a visit to your work sector that began over the weekend, one of the last before Jupiter returns. As well as a chance to start the week with an intuitive read on work and job matters, the Moon is delivering valuable clues, hunches and insights that can help you to start lining up in front of new doors before they open. By Tuesday, the Moon will be in your relationship sector and the timing couldn't be better. After Mars left last week, this was always going to be an important week to regroup, but more importantly to make the most of the Sun and Mercury's final days in your communication sector.

Leo

There is a lot of focus on both income and job matters this week, with the two overlapping for the majority of the week. Yet even so, while you have the rest of the week to keep your work and money hats on, there is an urgent need to embrace the playful lunar vibes on Monday. This might feel more like a case of Mondayitis, with the Moon's return to a fun, playful, romantic and creatively charged part of your chart over the weekend spilling into the early hours of the week. Yet with your luckiest year for love, matters of the heart and all things fun, playful, romantic and creative less than eight weeks away, this is a taste of things to come. By Tuesday the Moon will be in your work sector, giving you an intuitive read on work and job matters, just as the Sun and Mercury are preparing to leave your income sector over the weekend. Underneath, something special is also developing on the communication and relationship fronts.

Virgo

With both the Sun and Mercury leaving Virgo over the weekend, your birthday month is coming to a close, but with the right kind of support. With the Sun and Mercury moving towards an alignment in their final days, they are working as a tight unit, giving you the means to make the final days of your birthday month as effective as possible, especially when it comes to defining your game plan and resolutions for the coming year. It also means that they will return to your income sector over the weekend as a unit, where to their surprise they will find Mars in your work sector. The Sun and Mercury might turn their focus onto income opportunities at this time of year, but there is rarely any professional support. Yet for the first time in 32 years Mars is not only in your work sector, but fired up and ready to make things happen.

Libra

The past makes way for the future this week and in fairly dramatic fashion over the weekend. You begin the week with the Sun and Mercury in a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart, working together to bring your old solar year home, to close old doors and reflect back on the journey, in order to move on. With Mercury leaving and returning to Libra on Saturday and the Sun on Sunday, this shifts your focus from the road behind to the journey ahead. This comes at a point in the year when a lot of the planets in other areas of your chart are turning direct and things are starting to move forward. That is especially so on the home front, but also when it comes to matters of the heart and all things fun, playful, romantic and creative. When you move into your birthday month and new solar year over the weekend, it should be with a new sense of confidence and anticipation.

Scorpio

As Mars spends his first full day back in your home and family sector, you're experiencing a strong push that is putting home and family first, in a fairly remarkable way. Once every other year Mars, planet of passion and the warrior planet of the cosmos will turn retrograde, spending months rather than six weeks in an area of your chart. For the first time in decades Mars is singling out home, family and/or property matters. Apart from a short dip back in your communication sector, where you've had a chance to open the communication lines, especially on the relationship front, Mars is in his first full week back in your home and family sector. This comes as your professional life is losing its demands on you, but where you're still able to maintain your momentum. Where work/life balance may have been a challenge in the past, this is naturally resolving itself.

Sagittarius

Starting the week with the Moon in Sagittarius will always be an advantage, giving you an intuitive edge from the get go. Yet what makes this visit extraordinary is more the message. After all, the Moon returns to Sagittarius every four weeks, with a chance to check in and reconnect with your inner voice and any information or instructions it has. What makes this visit different is that with lucky Jupiter less than eight weeks away and the start of a new 12 year Jupiter cycle of expansion just around the corner, that chance to check in has become a lot more important. The Moon will be gone by Tuesday, making it important to make time to hear yourself think on Monday. In the meantime, across the income, work and career fronts there is a chance to regroup this week, as you gain a clearer sense of professional direction. Yet your social life and any chance to connect also becomes increasingly important.

Capricorn

This is a week that is likely to lull you, presenting itself as an adventurous, chilled out and even relaxed week. The reality is that this is the case, but by the end of the week the push to bring your professional year home will begin in earnest. It is the very forces that present such an adventurous front to the week that will create the professional shift. The week begins with the Sun and Mercury not only in their final days in an adventurous part of your chart, but moving towards an alignment. They align just before Mercury leaves and returns to your career sector on Saturday and the Sun on Sunday. An unspoken message passes between them, agreeing to make their final days in an adventurous part of your chart count. You also start the week with nostalgic and reflective lunar vibes in play. While these are more fleeting there is a need, on Monday especially, to find time to hear yourself think.

Aquarius

He's back. After retrograding out of Aquarius last month, Mars' direct turn has brought him back for a rare do over. In all Mars was gone for 29 days, but what a difference those 29 days have made. When Mars returned last week he was not only back in direct motion, but the roadblocks, challenges and push back, from relationship forces in particular, were gone. No longer in retrograde motion a lot of those frustrations and feelings of being stuck are gone as well, though still in his early weeks in direct motion, Mars is still not yet up to full speed. Fortunately, with Mars not leaving until mid November, you have plenty of time. The Moon's return to Aquarius on Thursday both add to Mars' passions and fighting spirit and give you a better read on what his return is inspiring. In the second half of the week, let your emotional and passionate responses take the lead.

Pisces

For the Sun and Mercury, their final days in your relationship sector are some of their best. Not only are they moving towards an alignment on Thursday and Friday, there is some serious support for friendship and relationship building, not to mention rare and additional support from the communication gods. With only Neptune in Pisces, there were fewer planets for the Sun and Mercury to oppose and both their oppositions are behind you. This has already flushed out any balance issues between your personal and relationship needs. Until leaving on Saturday Mercury is on a mission to ensure the communication lines are open, while the Sun will keep the spotlight on your relationships until he leaves on Sunday. It is then that still working as a unit, the Sun and Mercury will turn their attention to your financial situation and money matters.
