At times, this week will feel like hard work. It is book-ended by two very difficult aspects involving warrior planet Mars. The first, on Monday, is a dramatic and potentially explosive conjunction with Uranus; the second, on Sunday, is an ill-tempered, sulky square to stubborn Saturn.

Expect emotions to run high throughout most of the week, especially in arguments between those who like the status quo and those who seek change. On Thursday, Mercury moves into analytical Virgo, so towards the end of the week, there is at least some reason underpinning heightened emotions.

Look to Sunday’s other major aspect, a trine between Venus and Neptune, for some sweet, romantic relief.

Unpleasant surprises with money are highly likely early this week, especially when Mars and Uranus join forces in a sudden, sharp shock on Monday. Try not to overreact. Your ruler Mars could lead you to impulsive, dramatic decisions which you will later regret, so it’s essential to let the dust settle first as far as possible.

Mercury’s change of zodiac sign on Thursday finds you getting better organized, which will help with any budgeting issues.

Over the weekend, family and loved ones provide comfort and security, but prepare for some more upheaval with Mars, putting your finances in the spotlight. In particular, avoid either lending to or borrowing from a friend.

Distract yourself with something fun, especially later in the week. When Mercury changes signs, find a creative outlet for your worries. Any kind of art, acting, singing, or crafting will help you find peace of mind.

Sunday would be a lovely day for a long-overdue get-together with good friends, which will lift your spirits immensely. However, when Mars and Saturn clash, your identity itself may be in question.

By the middle of the week, your thoughts are likely to turn to the past, and there is a nostalgic vibe around you when your ruler Mercury changes zodiac signs on Thursday. Revisiting childhood haunts could prove inspirational.

Keep a careful eye on your finances over the weekend. Venus and Neptune encourage you to spend far more than is wise, purely in a misguided bid to impress others. Meanwhile, Mars is in action again on Sunday, placing a temporary block on your travel plans.

Friendships are under strain as the week begins, particularly with Monday’s Mars and Uranus clash. If you’ve recently made new friends, be prepared for your ‘older’ friends to feel jealous or left out.

Fortunately, Mercury comes to your rescue on Thursday, arriving in the communication zone of your natal birth chart and making it much easier for you to empathize with someone else’s viewpoint. You may be able to mend some friendships from here.

Be careful on Sunday, however. Mars provokes further jealousy or envy in your social life, and it might be hard to move on from that. On the plus side, Venus and Neptune give their blessing to a memorable day trip, away from the angst.

Family expectations of you may prove difficult on Sunday, especially if your parents or siblings disapprove of your relationship, job, or lifestyle. However, Venus and Neptune remind you that it’s your life, so your own values are the only ones that matter.
