After two intense weeks, Hidden Insights is happy to announce a much calmer astrological sky. A set of harmonious sextiles promises to improve our interpersonal relationships. The week begins with Mercury forming a sextile with Venus, which wraps the Earth with warm concern for others. On Monday and Tuesday agreement will be easy, and conversations will have a cheerful tone. As Venus is still in Capricorn, this is also an excellent time for discussions related to money and investments. While this is usually a challenging topic for many, these types of conversations will flow easily.
On Wednesday the Sun makes the second sextile of the week to Mars. This aspect enhances courage, and reduces fear. It is also a time for friendly competition, where egos won’t get the best of us. Even in heated discussions, participants will be conscious not to provoke or offend others. Anticipate a day filled with honest communication, a renewed sense of drive in business matters, along with the ability to receive credit for hard work.
Friday and Saturday usher in two electrifying transits. First, Venus will make an active square to Uranus. This allows people to express their eccentric sides more openly and without judgement. It also brings an urge to initiate new experiences, and many around the world will embrace the “you only live once” attitude. The challenge with this aspect is sometimes the impractical nature of its energy. Venus loves to indulge, and if it is not treated carefully with Uranus, a series of impulse purchases can spell trouble. Especially as anything purchased on Friday will likely no longer seem interesting or useful by the end of the weekend.
The second transit of the weekend is Venus’ movement out of Capricorn and into Aquarius. In this sign, Venus allows the world to love in a non-judgmental way. This is a great position for those who feel like social outcasts to take the centre stage of acceptance. We can expect the next several weeks to bring a renewed focus to global acceptance of what makes each of us unique. As Venus is the planet of love, romantic relationships also shift slightly, as we move away from the practical energy towards the expansive. In Capricorn, rules within relationships became important; now freedom of expression, and experimental relationships become the focus.
Astro Homework
This week’s homework assignment focuses on the shift of Venus into Aquarius. There is an element healing with this position as we move from the concrete energy of Capricorn. Aquarius energy rules acceptance and the ability to see the big picture.
Over the weekend, allow yourself to accept and forgive those who have hurt you in the past, especially if you still hold strong feelings. At its best, this energy can help alleviate the pain of obsession, which can assist those dealing with this type of preoccupation to move on.
Aries (21 March — 20 April)
Your career and reputation take centre stage this week, Aries. On Monday and Tuesday you may find yourself listening to the problems of a supervisor or person in a position of power. The caring energy of the day allows you to be still and provide valuable insight. This encounter leads you to question your direction, and you may have a moment of exciting clarity about where you see yourself in the future. This is an excellent time to set a new course for success in the public eye in order to become recognized for your skills and accomplishments. You get a financial boost on Wednesday, as the Sun aligns with Mars, which moves through your house of money. Don’t miss the opportunity to make extra money right now. Even if it’s selling items around your home that you no longer find useful. The weekend brings friends into your immediate environment. Expect to be busy
socially with groups of people, and take the opportunity to join a club or organization.

Taurus (21 April — 20 May)
Friends are sending you a great deal of support this week, Taurus, and you are happy to hear their well wishes.

On Wednesday you may feel the need to stand your ground, especially if you have been overlooked in receiving credit for hard work. As Mars continues to move through your sign, a minor bump, cut, or injury is also possible, so be careful where you step. Friday brings a square from Venus to Uranus shortly followed by Venus changing signs. As this is your ruling planet, these aspects will be more personal for you than for the other signs. You are entering a period of increased success in business. You may even encounter someone who can help you achieve success. This will be especially true if they seem to be more eccentric than you might expect in a professional setting.
