白羊

Start reading your Rumi poems and doing your best Elizabeth Barrett Browning impersonation. Communicator Mercury gets back on track this week, after a prickly three-week retrograde. You’ve got some ’splainin’ to do, Aries, or maybe just a few apologies to issue, but being brusque about it could be the coup de grace to a tenuous relationship. Nope, this is going to take some extra sweetness on your part. Write a poetic note in a pretty, letterpress-printed card, attached to a small-yet-meaningful gift. You can get this connection back on track if you make the effort.

There are other cosmic forces cheering you on as well. Romantic Venus blesses you with a silver tongue and the gift of gab when it enters Gemini on Wednesday. While Venus usually hangs out in a sign for only four weeks, she’s sitting tight in Gemini until August 6! Your popularity is about to go soaring even further up the charts. How will you balance this active social life that is soon to erupt? You’re going to have to start hanging out with people en masse. Set a regular day each week for gathering with your nearest and dearest … all 50 of them. A local coffee shop or bar would be happy to host the business, and then you can spare yourself the trouble of having to cook and clean.

This Venus cycle is also great for any Aries writers, media makers or entrepreneurs. Finding an audience for your offerings will be easier than ever. Market yourself! You can expand your reach in the Twitterverse and through other social media outlets; it’s easier than you think, and perfect for someone with your shorter attention span.

On Friday, the full moon in Libra creates an opportunity to join forces with someone and create a dynamic duo. Whether for business, pleasure or a combo platter of both, you finally find someone you trust enough to hand the reins to. You’ll also have the courage to walk away from relationships that simply aren’t fulfilling for you. Do this with love, Aries, as there is the possibility of retaining a friendship here, once you’ve both had some time to cool down and heal.

LOVE:With your ruler, love planet Venus, in your second house for the next four months, your love life needs more structure. Pick a night and commit to doing something: Make a date with a hot online prospect, ask friends to set you up, or grab a single pal and go on the prowl. Friday’s full moon in your wellness center invites you to look for Mr. Right someplace healthy, like the gym or a weekend hiking meetup. In an LTR? You need to get on the same page about money with your honey instead of operating under assumptions.

Your Taurus guy: It’s a good week to synch up your social schedules for plenty of together time. Blend guys’ night with girls’ night and double your fun. You might wind up playing Cupid for your mutual friends, which is great karma for your relationship. When Venus enters his sensual second house for four months, add more luxury to your lives: soft sheets, spa robes — and a fridge full of food so you never have to leave the house.

Make that money! Your ruling planet, Venus, grooves into Gemini this Wednesday, kicking off a four-month tour through your second house of income and financial foundations. Venus usually spends four to six weeks in a sign, so this is a big-deal opportunity. Your social network, especially the women you know, can play a strong hand in helping you land a plum job or market a business venture. The second house has a slow-and-steady groove to it. While you might not become an overnight millionaire, you are poised to bring in consistent cash flow between now and August 6. Anything “Venusian” has an added gleam of promise: beauty, art, fashion, style, love-and-relationship-focused services, design and party planning. Venus energy is people-focused, so you are also getting a planetary prompt to hit the industry networking circuit and start a buzz for yourself in the Twitterverse too. Give them something to talk about, Taurus, and you’ll see your name on that corner-office plaque before you know it.

Friday’s Libra full moon in your house of work also brings a promising opportunity for your career. This may involve a contract from a great company, or a stellar partner for a project or venture. Watch your stress level near this day, though! Your tendency to bite off more than you can chew could hit you hard, not only in the pocket but also in your psyche. It’s OK to make a counteroffer, especially if you don’t feel comfortable with the terms that are being offered. You’re not meant to be a slave to your job, Taurus. Balance is key.

Mercury turns direct in your friendship house after causing a few waves for the past couple of weeks. Although you’ve been feeling dissatisfied with the quality of your interactions, give those in your inner circle a chance to redeem themselves. If you’ve truly outgrown them, Mercury’s turn gives you an inspiring push toward making new connections. Let yourself dabble and explore new social groups this week, and see where you feel the click. Joining a summer sports league, like a softball team or a sailing crew, might be just the thing to get you in your happy groove.

Mirror, mirror on the wall … Ravishing, radiant Venus begins a four-month tour of Gemini this Wednesday, making you hands-down the hottest of them all. Venus normally hangs out in a sign for four to six weeks, but lucky you! She’ll be blessing you with beatific vibes until August 6. This is your time to shine, expressing your creativity and ardor without an ounce of censorship. While your dance card could fill to overflowing, self-love is the first order of Venus. If you don’t adore yourself with every ounce of your being, how can you expect someone else to do the same? Create a new template for your love life by declaring self-criticism off limits and by finding something to worship about yourself each and every day. In our culture of shame this might take a little practice, but take heart. Once you start noticing the amazing little nuances of yourself, you’ll discover an endless supply to admire.
