This week in astrology: April 29-May 5, 2013

Great week for activity on Monday and Tuesday. Mars and Saturn are battling and they are using two different strategies. Mars wants to go fast and Saturn wants to take it slow. Decide how you can accomplish your tasks and assignments with these contradictory feelings. Move with caution. Read all the fine print and make sure you are completely aware of what your assignments are. Great energy will bring great responsibility. Keep breathing. That is important! Physically work out hard to keep your mind in perspective. Change your sedentary lifestyle into one full of energy, life and fun. You will live longer.

Wednesday, Mercury and Taurus move together. They promote thinking. Read through contracts and view things with an eye toward information gathering. Keep your feet on the ground and stay connected. Balance your life today with diet and exercise. Ground yourself by meditating and deep thinking. Keep feeling the energy around you and let it give you a boost.

Friday will be a magical day. Everything you do seems to be touched by magic. Dreams both day and night bring messages you need to listen to. Your guardian angel and own special cosmic team are helping your through difficult times and thoughts. You have come far in your spiritual growth. Keep working on spiritual matters and find solutions to your weighty problems. Create something new in your life. The reason you are on earth is to create something beautiful.

The Moon moving in Aries and Mars trines Pluto on Sunday. Very nice combinations for productivity. Funnel the energy they are giving you. Dive into projects and assignments. Handle your own power with grace and aplomb. You may find that Saturn in opposition to Mercury makes it hard to communicate feelings. You may have a difficult time telling someone how you really feel. Take a deep breath and jump in with both feet. Remember that Mercury loves to communicate. Try not to make waves as you move through this day. It is often much better to ere on the side of caution.

Use this week as one of progress. A reunion between Uranus and Pluto takes place and helps you be aware of what is going on around you in family and career. Keep up the positive attitude and make your difficult times learning experiences. Keep feelings moving in positive ways. You can do what you want. You are in charge of your life. Meet your full potential this week.
