FORECAST FOR THE WEEK AHEAD: The sun continues to dance with Aries this week, with the mutual understanding that their courtship will end in a matter of hours. This flavors events with a certain urgency. Don’t allow yourself to become too restless, though, especially early in the week, when following the protocol is better than going off on your own. There’s much to learn from mastering a tradition, and a few new ideas will pop into view for those disciplined enough to do so. Wednesday, the full moon in Libra proposes that love means revealing all. Partners will incite one another to be explicit about commitment level, personal details and future plans. Business partners will also want full disclosure, and by sundown Wednesday, many binding contracts are penned. Partnerships of all kinds get tighter though honesty. Under Friday’s Scorpio moon, learning about yourself through observing the criticism you have of the rest of the world is the key to success. Dates will have a decidedly sultry quality, no matter how well the daters know one another. Saturday, the moon transits through Sagittarius. Get interested in what life is like for people very different from you. Travel is favored this weekend.
