Your calendar will be so full this week that you almost can't fulfill your commitments. You are feeling your way toward solid ground through a maze of illusions. You are asked to choose a direction that is practical as well as emotionally engaging. Beware the tendency to overspend.

For All Signs: The excitement in the sign of Pisces continues with Mars entering the picture. A common people's rebellion is in the works and no doubt will be in the news. Religious and spiritual groups of all types will make themselves heard. "Peace" is the plea. This is a time when artists, poets, writers and others will express their longings for a better world through their creative media. In the 1977 Spielberg film, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, those who were attuned were compelled to respond to a call to the Devil's Tower. Many individuals throughout this spring are resonating to a chord of invitation. We are enticed by the cosmos to transcend the mundane and express the best that we are.

Aries: Please give attention to the lead paragraph. You are on the invitation list. You may even be serving as a leader in a local call for world peace. It is very important that you engage only in activity that serves the greater good at this time. Self-promoting pursuits will bite you in the backside.

Gemini: You will finish a project with satisfaction early in the week. And then your thoughts will turn inward for roughly two weeks. You may be exploring your soul or envisioning your next project. You might be considering your past and how those events or circumstances are affecting you now.

Cancer: At the beginning of the week there is a snafu in the department of communications or travel. It should be worked out by mid-week. You are likely to be involved in a heavy duty project that began last week. It is a labor of love and may nurture your spirit, even as you help another.

Leo: Your energy is in a dip, which may be mostly emotional in origin. This is not a good week for negotiations. It is important to hold onto the fact that you are a human being and have as much right to be respected as anyone else.

Virgo: Business concerning home and property comes to a favorable conclusion. Your next focus will be mind-expanding. You may be researching a new interest, gazing over travel brochures for your next adventure, or pursuing an interest in philosophy or religion.

Libra: You or someone else important to you will be of an unusually independent mind at the beginning of the week. Do something unique to offset boredom and routine in the relationship. Both business and creativity are on the upswing now, though you would rather play than work.

Scorpio: You have enormous quantities of energy to give at this time. You may be invigorated by the need to help someone you care about. Romantic relationships are laden with passion and may have a quality of uniqueness. You can hardly be still, so it is best to plan something vigorously creative.

Sagittarius: You are high on energy now. You have a need to be active physically and socially. Those Archers who are more introverted will be involved in social activities that promote soul searching. Others will be looking for parties and pursuits that take them away from the humdrum life in the city. Have fun!

Capricorn: Love and social life are still in a favorable place. Your physical reflexes are in a brief dip. Use caution when driving and dealing with tools or machinery. Take your vitamins and be sure to get plenty of rest.

Aquarius: Sharing pleasure in art and things of beauty will serve to tighten the bond between you and a significant other. Letting yourself relax with a playful attitude increases the fun and creativity of the time. Your intuition is strong now. Give it plenty of room to flex.

Pisces: You are carrying all the magnetism in Pisces (see lead paragraph) around in your physical body right now. Electronic gadgets may behave strangely when you are nearby. Certainly this is high pitched, high wired, electrical energy. You need to ground it in exercise.
