Your Week

Monday March 8 through Sunday March 14

The Astrologer's Diary:

Pakistan will slowly begin to build a military, sporting or trade partnership near March 11 which helps her relaunch herself in the eyes of the world in June. The world knows David Tennant as Doctor Who but he will begin a four-month relaunch in March 2010 which lands him huge international recognition within four months. A boom time for Australian media – and new media – is also about to begin near March 7 which will radically change the nation by 2011. The USA is fast approaching a signature or handshake which could change its relationship with one foreign embassy forever. This good news will appear near March 8.

Aquarius

Put as much time and energy as you can into an important financial, business or property discussion near Monday. As long as you do not attempt something which is beyond you – or others – you should feel more hopeful about the future than you have for months. Clever calculations and sensible discussions will help you move in the right direction, with amazing breakthroughs possible in September and next January. Have you always wanted to write, broadcast, teach or experiment with new media? Your luck is in. Watch for clues now.

Pisces

You cannot do much to change the financial, business or property situation you have been lumbered with, but there are other advantages and possibilities which will help. Someone who shares your ideas (or has complementary goals) will draw closer this week. Ignore the differences in your age, background or experience. Build a bond of trust and good communication. This small beginning could develop, in stages, to the point where June brings you the kind of freedom and opportunities which seem impossible now. Put the work in.

Aries

You will relaunch your image or personal brand in June. This new version of yourself will be a vast improvement as the time has come for a new look, or an alternative way to project your personality. A sincere, committed person who can help you take the first steps towards this will join you this week. Even if you encounter obstacles along the way don”t give up. Of course there are realities about your love life or career which have to be taken into account. But do not stop yourself from beginning the road to change. It would be like forcing a butterfly to stay inside a chrysalis.

Taurus

You may be tempted to move forward on house, family, flat or household priorities very quickly as the week begins, but try to hold back. If you force the pace on renovations or property decisions – or respond to relatives or flatmates in the heat of the moment – you may regret it. Try to put the situation in context and see it as a three-month issue, not a three minute challenge! One of the year’s best decisions will be made with, or through, one of your most important friendships or group involvements now. You feel optimistic. And so you should be.

Gemini

Your personal life brings its own rules and restrictions at the moment, no matter if the issue is your son or daughter, or more complex questions about children, or relationships. Put this in perspective, though. A friend or group is slowly becoming more important to you, and by the middle of the year this particular friendship or network will bring amazing potential for happiness and success. Join forces now, and start building trust. And don’t miss a chance to move your career forward either. Think big about work or university ambitions this week.

Cancer

Between now and 2011 you will reshape your career, or your other main role in life. June will bring incredible freedom and opportunities, with more to come next year. At the moment you are taking baby steps in this direction, with the sincere support of someone who is also along for the ride. You are very different people but it is important that you help each other now. It is also time to make one of the year’s most important decisions about big ideas, distant places or foreign connections. The future looks good. So start talking, or signing.

Leo

The planets are slowly beginning to gather in an area of your chart linked to travel, emigration, education, publishing, the internet and export. Sometimes religion or foreign people play a part too. It’s best packaged under the heading of ‘mind expansion’ and this is just the start. Do not let anything put you off, as between now and 2011 you could achieve more than one big dream. An important discussion or piece of papework that turns a financial, business or property matter around will appear near Monday. You are right to have high hopes.

Virgo

A conversation which makes perfect sense to your head – as well as your heart – could help you see how much is possible with your partner, ex or potential date. Even an e-mail or text message could help this week, as it’s time to think big and be positive. What happens in September and next January will show you why you were right to move forward with this person, this week. Financially, you’ve seen easier times. One money, business or property-related matter is still a burden. But do welcome help this week. By June you’ll be glad you did.

Libra

Drop everything to work on the relationship you have with your current partner, former lover or potential date. Your famous ability to balance the scales will help you, as you are very different people. The rewards could be incredible, though, as June brings big opportunities and exciting new freedom. You may not know it yet, but a revolution in your private life is coming, and the future is being written now. There are also intriguing possibilities for you in terms of work, health or your lifestyle. It’s time for one of the year’s savviest decisions.

Scorpio

You have been building up to this week’s brilliant decision for a long time. Your son or daughter may be involved, or other people’s children. There may also be questions about relationships, commitment, fertility and the future – or the unique way you are to leave some kind of imprint on the next generation. This is also an important time for your life at work, or your other main occupation. You will be joined by someone who wants the same, or similar things. Do all you can to collaborate, as seeds sown now could bear amazing fruit in June.

Sagittarius

Venus, the planet of compromise and co-operation, is beginning to move through your zone of pregnancy, babies, children and young people. This sometimes raises possibilities in your love life – for obvious reasons – but can also introduce less personal factors. If you work with or for the next generation, this may now matter more to you. And don’t overlook the arrival of a young relative or godchild in the next few months either. More than anything else, though, this is a week to build the future. How can you best help those who come after you?

Capricorn

A different look or feel for your home, a major property decision, a household reshuffle or a significant family change are all possible now. What happens this week is the opening chapter in an emerging story which will still be with you in 2010. You will make it up as you go along, but the incredible trust you share with someone who is on board with you now will help. Do not downsize your dreams. As early as June, you could be breaking the habits of a lifetime and exploring an exciting new way to feel like part of a clan – or live as you really wish to.
