This week looks to be rather emotional with a lot of tides shifting – yet again. The planets are always moving, and this week is no exception. Be ready to steal 3rd base but make sure to watch for the coach's signal! Monday (a.k.a. “Moon-day”) gives us that moody, caring & self-protective Cancer vibe. You may want to be comfy and safe at home, but that probably won’t help you deal with this week's astrological line up. And what a line-up it is! You’ll need to keep your wits about you so go easy on the sweets or suffer the consequences of a sugar crash, which is never fun in the midst of a moody, Monday moon. Especially when Jupiter - the planet of spirituality and excess - tempts Venus in the last degrees of beauty-loving, boundary-abolishing Pisces tempts to spend, spend, spend! Do your best to THINK big instead of spending big. A shopping spree would probably only be a compensation for a possibly lopsided spirituality.

Tuesday night, expansive conversations concerning your personal destiny and how it connects with the collective, will be something to treasure. If it starts to go sour; even if its's only with yourself, take a step back, digest what's been delivered and warm up for the big conversation being composed between Faith-infused Jupiter and eccentric Uranus coming up on Thursday. Replays of this heavy-hitting duo will continue to shock you throughout Sunday – very much like the lightning bolt that hit Robert Redford’s home run hit in “The Natural” when the cover was knocked off the ball, leaving the insides exposed and the fans awestruck. Do I hear the distant sound of marching feet leading a revolution or is that literally the Earth moving beneath our feet???

Cancer moodiness is traded in for drama, drama, drama, when Luna enters Leo Wednesday evening. Express yourself and hit away! Have fun while keeping in mind that deep conversations can go a long way while Mercury links up with Pluto early on Wednesday, followed by a somewhat abrupt cosmic shift. Venus, the goddess of love, moves from self-sacrificing Pisces where “All you Need is Love” into the unyielding territory of Aries the warrior. Choose your battles with caution and conviction because romance & love stuff may tend to have a short shelf life during this three week period. Reassurances between loved ones are needed way more than usual.

ON Thursday, if you have a mission in mind, make sure you are aligned and then RE-align any brilliant insights you've recently received. The Sun takes center stage with a double-hit to Uranus and Jupiter – breathing otherworldly life into those new ideas and brilliant brain-storms which promise to expand on the topic; then Jupiter has a not-so-secret meeting with Uranus later that evening. Keep a notebook handy for those bright ideas because they'll come in a flash and be gone just as fast!

On Friday Mercury enters Taurus. The sun has already been in Taurus for a little more than a week. Have you noticed how SLOW people seem? Maybe a little bit tardy? Taurus, the Bull seeks enlightenment, but can be a little lazy about getting off his ass to go out and get it! Taurus teaches us about Values, so if you're're resistant or feel trepidatious about change, Mercury may help you rise above it all. Mercury is the planet of communication but not necessarily the speaking kind. Body language should be well-read. You can trade in hasty words for a more serene tongue. If you have developed a new courage of conviction over the past 8 months on any subject pertaining to your values, stick with it! Hold your ground. But if there is still some shifting to be done, either in relationships or your material world, now is a good time to express those new life priorities and gain clarification. Who & what, does or doesn't fit your life anymore??

Saturday adds some pragmatism to the picture which comes in handy like a much needed bunt to get your runner off first base and on to second or even third. You're headed for a home run on Sunday when the issues brought up by your inner coach find the opportunity to be put to good use...on Sunday when Venus co-operates with Saturn after a week of surprises, insights and crystalizations. If you're feeling like using harsh words, think twice and write out your game plan for the next three weeks when Mercury will enter chatty Gemini. THAT’s when you'll get your chance to speak your mind in a much more receptive light. Simply put, Sunday can be quite productive and even pleasant, but you’ll have to play by the rules because the Umpire ain’t taking any lip!

Why I’m using the baseball analogy is beyond me, except to say it 'tis the season. I leave you with a quote delivered in The Natural by Glen Close to Rober Redford:

“I believe we have two lives – the one we learn with and the one we live with after that.”
