The Stars This Week: March 26 - April 1, 2012

Be Flexible!

This is a fairly tense week with multiple difficult aspects. First, the Sun squares Pluto on March 29, when someone in a powerful position tries to stop you in your tracks. Then, on March 31 as retrograde Mars quincunxes Uranus, prepare as best you can for random, disruptive events that cause you to reconsider your plans. Later that same day, you get a relationship reality check when Venus quincunxes Saturn.

March 29: The Sun squares Pluto
Some things are under your control, while others are not. No matter how bold and ambitious you are, once the Aries Sun squares powerful Pluto, you need to contend with a person who holds more cards than you; at the same time, you may simply be out of sync with your environment. Either way, be extra aware of what you have the power to influence ... and what you don't. If you can tell the difference, you'll come out ahead.

March 31: Mars quincunxes Uranus
Sometimes, events make you adjust your course and take unforeseen things into consideration. Don't let it throw you off-track! Retrograde Mars backs into this quincunx aspect with wild and crazy Uranus, a planet that loves to try to disrupt anything it sees. Remember: The more flexible you can be, the better you'll fare. Once Mars turns direct next month, you'll be able to use what you've learned. For now, just stay light on your feet and remain open to change.

March 31: Venus quincunxes Saturn
Delays, restrictions and stop signs all caution you to take your time and pay attention right now. Are people interfering? Is somebody you need unavailable? Venus is the planet of values and relationships, and its current contact with rule-making Saturn reminds you that your quest for love needs healthy boundaries. Instead of focusing on others, make adjustments that will help you feel more comfortable in your relationship with yourself. And since Venus also symbolizes money, this is a perfect time to curtail your spending!
