Mars and Jupiter remain locked in alignment, but on Monday we get the Earth and Moon in opposition.  While this can mean a few different things, the best advice is to avoid contact with armed government employees.  I mean, that’s good advice in general, but Monday is a particularly inauspicious day for such an interaction.  By Friday those latter two will have moved into a different alignment, this time with Venus.  This interaction is particularly strong since Friday is the day ruled by Venus, so if you’re living with someone who’s sexually compatible with you, take a shot then.  Wearing green and copper are supposed to help here, but I don’t have enough evidence that it works to recommend it.

Taurus closes out its time in the sun bereft of any other planets.  No respect.  Instead, Gemini, that two-faced rat bastard has poached Mercury and Venus and is just waiting to add the sun to its collection.  Most of the rest are the same as last week — Jupiter in Pisces, Mars in Cancer, and Saturn is in Aquarius.  That last one I should probably talk about.  Saturn has gone retrograde.  We don’t typically make a huge deal out of Saturn retrograde, since Saturn is such a bad sign anyway that making it worse doesn’t have all that much of an effect on its interpretation.  But it’s there.  If you break your favorite mug this week, that’s why.  One last thing to note is that the moon starts off the week in Virgo, so there will be a more feminine cast to things than is typical.

For whatever reason the cards don’t hate you this week.  It’s actually an excellent draw, full of wands and coins indicating health and prosperity.
