How will this week’s planetary influences be affecting you? This week’s New Moon in Gemini stirs up a plethora of fancies in your head; so many, in fact, that you may walk into a wall if you don’t pay attention to where you’re going! Those who find you staring off into space think you are in a fog belt, when you are actually immobilized by thoughts of a gazillion possibilities.

You won’t need too much outside stimulation to incite more activity in your head, you’ve got plenty of your own. Maybe there is a best-selling novel brewing in your brain that begs to be brought to life. Maybe you’re thinking about learning some new languages. You may even want to learn something new and completely different.

During this lunar influence, you won’t be short on ideas. Your main challenge is to pick and choose the ones that are most pragmatic and beneficial to you at this time. Then, begin the process of turning fancies into realities. You should spend some time alone and meditate on your options, even though you may be eager to share your feelings and thoughts. Any person in your company will get an earful, probably more than they can keep up with. You may not have it all worked out before you take those first baby steps, but making firm decisions will be half the battle for you.

How will this week’s planetary influences be affecting you? Thank goodness Mercury will no longer be retrograde! Mercury turned retrograde April 28th and has been causing havoc for many of us. This week, it goes direct so we can anticipate our stalled plans moving forward again especially when it comes to finances.

Love planet Venus moves into Gemini on Tuesday. While Venus visits Gemini, and depending on how this influence affects other planets in your natal chart, your social life could be very stimulating! You might find yourself connecting with a wide variety of friends, and enjoying an assortment of activities. Curiosity is high, and you’re eager to try new experiences and learn about different subjects.

Take care on Thursday, especially in any work related matters as Jupiter forms a square to Saturn putting strict limits on all the fun, travel, expansion and adventure we usually expect from Jupiter. What we want to do interferes with what we should do. What we actually do is a measure of our maturity (ah! a Saturn test). We struggle to envelop both the big and the small, the inner and the outer. The answer, of course, is somewhere in middle.

On Friday, Mars moves backwards into Scorpio. Mars is the warrior planet and when the warrior turns retrograde, the fight becomes more of an internal one. For some, Mars retrograde in Scorpio suggests the re-appearance of a former lover, disrupting an existing relationship. Jealousy, whether warranted or not, is another expression of Martian anger, usually kept under control but let loose during the retrograde period.

How will this week’s planetary influences be affecting you? The much anticipated astrological news of the week is Jupiter turning direct in Virgo after a four month retrograde period.

Virgo is all about the detail; Jupiter is all about going further than anyone else. Combine these two energies, and you have a recipe for fundamentalism of all kinds and more so these past few months since Jupiter has been retrograde.

This could be a pivotal time for religious extremism around the world, but it’s not only religious fervor which can be stirred up by Jupiter in Virgo – all kinds of beliefs, standards and practices may be taken to extremes.

However, this influence can also have some hugely positive effects. Virgo is the sign most concerned with health and sanitation, and the energies of Jupiter in Virgo can be a catalyst for great improvements in public health around the world, perhaps with new vaccines and infrastructure being provided to some of the poorest parts of the globe.

Jupiter has a definite spiritual tinge to his energies, but Virgo is a very down-to-earth sign. A struggle to blend the material concerns of Virgo with the ethereal aims of Jupiter will ensue, but one way round this is to focus on holistic wellness. During this period, take care of your whole body and mind, perhaps engaging in a spiritual-physical practice such as yoga.

Ultimately, Jupiter’s transit of Virgo has a lot to offer if we can reign in the extremist viewpoints which could otherwise blight this year. Unfortunately, however, the Virgo tendency to get bogged down in the detail could prevent politicians from seeing the bigger picture until it’s very difficult – or too late – to do much about it.

How will this week’s planetary influences be affecting you? The New Moon in Taurus slows down your energy level as you mull over more practical concerns of living and life. This earthy moon propels you to work hard but at the end of the day, still wants you to take it easy and enjoy some of your hard earned cash.

Make a list of items that you need to feel secure. If some of those items on the list are beyond your means, you may consider what you need to curb or grow in order to get the things you deserve. Might that be taking a second job or making some minor investments?

Your thoughts may also meander to your finances. You may want to think over how you can restructure your budget. Brainstorm ways to increase your cash flow so that you can indulge in occasional luxuries without having to raid your savings.

This is an opportune time to start testing new monetary strategies. In terms of romance, this sensual lunar influence is great for experimenting with touch, taste, and sound; anything that arouses the senses. Try new lovemaking techniques on your sweetheart. You’ll surely have a grand time testing things out!

Also this week, the Sun makes some upbeat, positive aspects to some of the heavy hitting outer planets. The theme of money, possessions and self-worth continues with these planetary influences. Find out how to make the most of the planets this week.

Join astrologer and host, Kelli Fox, who will be discussing this week’s planetary influences and how they will be affecting you. The astro headline of the week is Mercury turning retrograde.

Mercury Retrograde is a phenomenon that has worked its way into mass consciousness. The moment a communication snafu occurs, folks blame Mercury Retrograde! The truth is, not all miscommunications can be laid at the feet of this little planet. But it does behoove us to observe a few simple principles about this event.

Mercury appears to turn backward in its path around the Zodiac three times every year, for about twenty-one or twenty-two days at a time. So every four months, you get a three-week pause in which to catch up on old correspondence, read the book that’s been sitting on your nightstand and make phone calls to friends and family.

Everyone knows that Mercury Retrograde is a great time to do things that start with ‘re’: repair, reduce, reconsider, recreate. But what else can you do to bring out the best energy of this period?

Also this week, love planet Venus moves into sensual Taurus. During this influence you may find that you love your creature comforts, and are willing to pay for those little luxuries that sweeten your everyday experience. Material security is a priority, and you can make solid progress in building up your savings account — if you temper your tendency toward indulgence.

You may also find that, your magnetism is strong, and potential suitors could be irresistibly drawn to you. Loyalty and stability are important to you now, and you might find socializing with a few close friends more satisfying than casting a wide net.

Kelli will be discussing more about these influence and how they will be affecting your sign. Be sure to tune into get your weekly horoscope too!

Join Kelli Fox who will be talking about the planetary influences for the week. According to the stars, it’s a busy week ahead so it’s better to be prepared to make the most of these cosmic influences. At the end of the show Kelli will be sharing insights specifically for each sign through her Weekly Horoscopes.

Find out what it will mean for you and your sign when Mars turns retrograde at the start of the week. Mars is the warrior planet and when the warrior turns retrograde, the fight becomes more of an internal one. Mars goes retrograde approximately once every two years, for a period of 10 weeks or so. The retrograde this year is complicated because it involves two signs – on April 17th Mars first turns retrograde in Sagittarius, but will regress into Scorpio on May 27th before finally turning direct again on June 29th.

Also, with the Sun moving into Taurus on Tuesday the next few weeks will be a time to focus on our finances but there’s more to it that just money. Learn more about the second sign of the zodiac and what the term “bull-headed” means for you.

On Thursday, there’s a powerful Full Moon in Scorpio which will also highlight issues around money and possessions as well as power and control. With Pluto turning retrograde early in the week it seems this week might have a competitive flavor so be sure to tune in to find out more how the stars will be aligning for you.

Join Kelli Fox who will be talking about the signs of the zodiac. There are twelve signs in the Zodiac, one for each month of the year. Unfortunately, the signs and the calendar don’t align perfectly. The Zodiac begins in mid-March, not on January first; and signs span from roughly the 20th or 21st of one month to the 19th or 20th of the next, not the 1st to the 31st. (Are you confused yet? No? Good!)

When someone asks you what your sign is, they’re referring to your Sun Sign — where the sun was in the Zodiac at the exact moment of your birth. But every other planet in your birth chart is also located in a particular sign, and is influenced by that sign’s unique energy. This explains why everyone who’s born under the influence of the same Sun Sign can still have such vastly different personalities; each of us is made up of a complex and unique combination of influences from the twelve signs, the twelve houses and all the planets, asteroids and points… Now, that’s definitely getting complicated! But clearly, having lots of planets in a certain sign in your chart will only intensify that sign’s influence in your life.

Each sign of the Zodiac is associated with a particular symbol, usually an animal, like the Ram (Aries) or the Bull (Taurus); an element, such as Air (Gemini) or Water (Cancer); and a quality, such as Fixed (Leo) or Mutable (Virgo). Each of these variables helps us to understand more about the signs that influence us and the energy inherent in each.

With Venus and Mercury both switching signs plus a New Moon and lots of positive astrological vibes, it’s potentially the best week so far this year for seizing new and exciting opportunities.

Join Astrologer, Kelli Fox to find out how Mercury moving into Taurus, Venus into Aries and the Aries New Moon will be influencing each of the Sun signs. This time of year is all about starting afresh – with the recent Spring Equinox, Solar Eclipse and planets changing signs and directions now is the time for action!

The Aries New Moon could be the force behind some edgy impulses that need release. Having just completed a restive period, you’re ready for something exciting and new to begin. Brilliant schemes may be circulating in your brain. At the very least, many of us are ready for something to happen. With the New Moon in Aries, the first sign of the zodiac, this lunar phase marks energetic beginnings and fresh starts.

While Venus is in Aries, your love life could be quite exciting over the coming weeks! You might find yourself being bolder than usual, taking risks and acting on your ardent impulses. Romance can be steamy and you’re open to experimentation — just watch out for getting carried away by your passions and be sure to take care of yourself.

How about communication planet, Mercury, moving into Taurus? Your mind might operate slowly and methodically over the next few weeks. You may find yourself taking your time to thoroughly consider an idea, thinking through all the details before making up your mind. You’re likely to have great mental focus, able to concentrate on the task at hand and see it all the way to the end but this may go against the Aries energy of wanting to jump straight in.

Find out how to make the most of these conflicting planetary influences over the next few weeks…

On Monday, March 28th, join host and astrologer, Kelli Fox on The Astrology Show. Kelli will be joined by special guest and astrology enthusiast, Sean Kelley. Together, they will discuss astrology, what it is and why it is so important too so many people across the world.

To understand astrology, you must know that it doesn’t work like a psychic, who predicts your future. Astrology is an invaluable guide that helps in making life choices. It points out tendencies and truths about human nature, not to mention the world at large. It gives you the tools you need to make better, more intelligent and informed decisions in your life. For example, if you have a lot of planets in Aries in your birth chart, you’ll know that you tend to be rather headstrong and impulsive, jumping into things without much forethought! With astrology’s help, you can learn to slow down a bit and look before you leap.

Anyone can gain greater personal understanding from astrology, even without knowing exactly how it works. After all, why the movement of the stars is related to life on Earth may be an intriguing and mysterious question, but we know that it is, indeed, related — astrology affects our lives just as the moon pulls on the tides and just as the light of the sun enables all life on Earth to grow. As the sun enriches the Earth, astrology can enrich your life. The more you learn, the better you’ll be able to apply its wisdom to your own life.

So tune in to find out more about to apply this invaluable tool to your life.
