YOUR ASTRO COCKTAIL - WEEK OF APRIL 6, 2010

The Moon starts off in the sign of Capricorn this week making us all a little more driven and serious minded when it comes to our daily routines. Watch out for a Mercury square Mars aspect also at the beginning of the week because this is a difficult combination ( kind of like drinking a martini with a peanut butter sandwich ) because it inclines one to get caught up in arguing and heated disagreements. With the Moon in Capricorn watch out for Ego centered issues to be the seat of any disagreements. It may be hard to communicate with each other in a calm, rational way. The waning Moon phase represents the tearing down of the old structure to prepare the way for the new ones. If you cannot get with the current scheme of things, then make changes. Hurry up though because Mercury, the planet of mix ups goes retrograde in less than two weeks.

Here is your personal Cosmic-politan for the week:



Things can get a little heated this week concerning financial expenditures. Children and lovers have an expensive price tag and you may decide that your generosity has hit its limits. Avoid arguments about money at all "costs " and let others sort out their financial dilemmas minus your input. Don't interfere in money matters that don't concern you, least they come back to bite you in the ass. Your splash of tarot for the week is the Strength card giving you control over a situation but also reminding you to play it smart and avoid being defiant in your actions.



Finally, all that talk about home remodeling, redecorating, relocating or removing (a pain in the ass), currently is on your daily planner. Get rid of the things that you don't need anymore including aggravation. Gear up for some activity around the home front and just realize that once the mess is cleaned up a beautiful environment will be restored. Some unexpected cash adds to your wallet. Your splash of tarot for the week is the Wheel of Fortune card showing an end to a situation which leads you on to your destiny. Keep a lookout for unexpected events.



Careful who you repeat a confidence to. It might be like playing "whisper down the lane"...you know what I mean? Sometimes things lose their original meaning as the story becomes enhanced, diced and mutilated down the line. By the time the final press release is made it is often times totally unrecognizable. Once Mercury turns retrograde on April 17Th all hell can break loose due to something that you innocently said. Your splash of tarot for the week is the Star card (reversed) showing you to be prepared for a slight disappointment to your plans. You may be letdown now but watch out for a new opportunity to soon present itself to you.



You may feel like everyone is ganging up on you this week when your only intention was to try and help. Maybe you shouldn't have taken that advice from someone who you thought had your best interest in mind. Seems that they had an agenda all of their own. The dye has been cast and you must now follow through and hope for the best. Your splash of tarot for the week is the Knight of Swords (reversed) telling you that it isn't so easy to separate or disengage yourself from a painful situation. Don't make impulsive mistakes especially concerning a sly woman.



Oh boy! You may get into it with a business associate who seems a little pushy. You know what you are doing and the last thing that you need is criticism from some a******. If things look to be so easy then why aren't they doing it instead of you? After you get done "roaring" you can start "purring" especially after you hear the rave reviews from the "it" crowd. Your splash of tarot for the week is the Nine of Swords (reversed) telling you not to get yourself all worked up over some gossip that you hear. Consider the source. Your doubts and suspicions concerning a shady character are all well founded.



Issues surrounding money and sex may rock your boat this week. The only thing missing is some "Rock n' Roll." Try not to be too critical and avoid the " I told you so's" when a close friend confides that a past financial decision really wasn't to their benefit. Paying your fair share is nice but it is a little "ballsy" for a date to expect you to always pull out your wallet. Your splash of tarot for the week is the Sun card (reversed) telling you canceled plans don't necessarily mean a lack of friendship. There is a difference between being alone and lonely. The choice is yours.



Did you over commit again? Friends and partners all seem to be pulling you in different directions. Your social calendar is filling up along with the responsibility of just getting through your daily routine. Someone may innocently ask how you intend to pull off all of your commitments but please resist the urge to answer back by saying "pull this." Sit down and restructure your original plans for smooth sailing. Your splash of tarot for the week is the Eight of Swords showing you that a crisis or conflict may make you feel temporarily trapped. Don't let negative thinking dominate your thoughts. An opportunity may still come out of a tough situation.



Aggravation around work has been building up for a while and you may suddenly decide to look at other options. Thoroughly think over all you decisions before walking away because once you leave you may not go back. No doubt about it. You are due for a much needed change but just be sure that you tag all of your bases and resist impulsive moves. Your splash of tarot for the week is the Nine of Cups insuring your success and also things working out to your advantage. Difficulties are surmounted and stability is once again restored.



You may feel like exploring your more mystical side. Saggies love to travel even if it is only into the depths of their inner self. Your dreams may seem more vivid now and your hunches are right on target. While you are currently hooked into your own psi powers why not have some fun and try your luck at a casino where the stars shine upon you for a nice little win or two. Your splash of tarot for the week is the Two of Swords showing balanced forces and harmony for you. Things stay nice if you remain tactful in your choice of words.



Resourceful Capricorns always find a way to pull rabbits out of their hat along with some cash when it is needed. You don't mind putting money into your home but are you intending to stay? Living arrangements are up for discussion and someone's "posturing" doesn't phase you one bit. In a few weeks you may be "rattling their cage" so to speak. Your splash of tarot for the week is the King of Swords (reversed) which signifies a selfish man who likes to cause conflict. ( Do you know my Ex? ) Don't let someone's passion for pessimism deter you from your goals.



Communications are a little tight this week between you and a partner. You don't mince words when it comes to telling someone how you really feel. This aggravation has been building up for quite some time and you are tired of have them "blow smoke up your ass." Get all car maintenance and repairs before Mercury goes retrograde next week so you can ride off into the sunset once you have decided that you had enough. Your splash of tarot for the week is the Queen of Pentacles depicting a woman with money who will be willing to help out in the time of need. She is a good friend who is also generous with her time and will be there for you. What a Babe!



Work is picking up and someone may be putting a few new ideas out there for you with regards to making some additional income. Too much information and too many details concerning a new venture may leave you feeling a bit overwhelmed. Take some time to wrap your head around these new ideas before signing on the dotted line. Do you think that you can handle all of these projects at once? Don't be afraid to ask for help when needed. Your splash of tarot for the week is the King of Pentacles (reversed) showing a man who is all business but also corrupt. Avoid getting involved in any of his little schemes since he is only looking out for his own desired ends. Trust your instincts.
