Hopefully, you are holding steady against the recent onslaught of adverse celestial activity. Without doubt, life has a harsh edge to it right now. But this week will help us focus on all that is good so that we can give it power and make it grow.

The week begins with the sun and Neptune in close proximity. The compassionate nature of Neptune will bring out the warmth and cheeriness of the sun, allowing poetry and sweetness to spring forth. Connect with this by seeking out tranquil moments when you can quiet the noisy chatter of your brain that seems intent on analyzing everything it sees.

On Wednesday, an uplifting conjunction between the moon, which governs our emotions, and optimistic Jupiter will charge you up with enthusiasm. The growing moon will also help amplify a connection between Mercury, the master of tactic, and Uranus, the accelerator, providing the perfect conditions to produce creative solutions to your problems.

Over the past few weeks, Venus and Mars have moved side by side through the heavens. This week, Venus will begin putting some distance between them by stepping on the gas. On Saturday, Venus moves into a sharp square to Uranus. This could produce a jolt or shock in our human experience. It could very well deliver a most fortunate twist of fate.

The week is building to the crescendo of the full moon in Virgo on Friday and will end with the sun, in its northward journey, reaching the spring equinox point when day equals night. Sunday is the official beginning of spring in the Northern Hemisphere. Enjoy the pleasure of nature. Go for a walk. The energy of Earth is rising out of the ground.

Here is your horoscope for the week of Monday, March 14, 2022.

Aries

If you're finding yourself in a rather contentious mood, well, at least you'll be well prepared to deal with any irritating obstacles that lie in your path this week. Of course, it's not advised that you go looking for trouble, just be aware that you'll be in the mood to handle anyone who challenges you. Easy does it though. You have plenty of pressing matters on your plate right now, and you don't want to add to them. So don't rush things or stir them up. Let everything take its natural course.

Taurus

When you think back to how things were a year ago, you'll notice a lot has changed. Or rather, you've changed. There's something about your attitude that is different. You feel more relaxed, comfortable and optimistic. Perhaps the yoga is working or maybe it's due to your arduous effort to slow your racing thoughts. In any case, it's making a difference — and this trend looks set to continue. There is something you keenly want. It's coming closer. Assume that you are perfectly entitled to have it.

Gemini

Right now, you are pursuing an objective with resolve and determination. Do make sure, though, that you are also applying thoughtfulness and intelligence. The mind and spirit are ultimately more powerful than force and brawn, and sooner or later, they will triumph. Be willing to negotiate, discuss and cooperate. Offer respect. Listen to opinions. Be nimble and adaptable. It will all pay off in the end, as the agreements you make will be more enduring.

Cancer

You were compelled to make a decision. It wasn't easy, and it took some bravery on your part, but it was necessary. It is a fact of life that when important decisions are made, there will be consequences. Therein lies the problem. In this case, not everyone agrees with you. Some people think you may have ulterior motives. As ridiculous as this may sound, there are people who will believe anything. You may feel worried that you are out of your depth, but help is on the way. You will be vindicated.

Leo

There's no hiding what you feel. When you are upset with someone, they know it. When you experience an emotion, you feel it with every fibre of your being. That seems to be the case with the big doubts and difficulties you've been wrestling with of late. This promises to be a productive week if you stick to your principles, giving your heart and soul to whatever you do without half measures. A comforting experience will set your mind at rest as you receive the reassurance you've been seeking.

Virgo

Your heart could use a little help in the battle against your intellect, whose logical voice has been drowning out the plaintive cries of your feelings. Your heart has been listening patiently to all the discussion about what you should and should not be doing. It has heard the arguments presented by your intellect, but it is still not entirely convinced. Your heart's focus lies elsewhere. Basically, it wants to feel more love. It wants to feel a warmth and closeness to people you care about — and its voice is growing stronger.

Libra

You may be surrounded by a material world made of concrete, but you remain a creature of nature. You are an impulsive and spontaneous being that ultimately wants to celebrate life and not be stressed out. But it's been a while since you felt inspired to smile and relax. This week will produce events that will remind you of how good life can be. Break out of certain routines and you'll connect with a childlike magic.

Scorpio

Whether or not you're aware of it, something immensely auspicious and encouraging is happening. It implies imminent, significant change for the better in your day-to-day life, financial situation and overall ability to express yourself creatively. If something seems wrong or you feel hurt, that will soon change. Your life will simplify and go through a healing process. Your suffering has gone on for long enough, and you will thoroughly enjoy the respite you are about to receive.

Sagittarius

Good luck just seems to fall into certain people's laps. As the rest of us mere mortals struggle and strive, they lead charmed lives that we could only dream about. Yet the stars offer us all opportunities. Some people are able to seize these chances by reacting with more faith and joy than fear. They feel love and gratitude for the good things, which helps to attract more in turn. A pivotal moment will inspire you to do the same this week.

Capricorn

Spices are key to adding flavour when cooking, but if you don't use them in proper proportions, you can end up with something inedible. The same idea applies to the tension in your life: a little is fine, a lot is too much. Still, there is nothing wrong with the situation you currently face. Challenges are good for you. They keep you on your toes. Change, though, is thundering through your world too quickly for comfort. Thankfully, indications are that it will stay well below the threshold of "too much." Your future is looking positive.

Aquarius

You have a proclivity to dwell more on your failures than your successes. While that may seem strange for an optimist like yourself, it can actually produce the best in you by making you work more arduously to get the favourable outcomes you so thoroughly deserve. Right now, you're feeling frustrated because you think you ought to be making more progress. What makes you special is your ability to fight back against those negative thoughts and pull wins out of a hat. You are about to do it again.

Pisces

You recently went through a period when you felt as if you were wasting your time and your life was heading the wrong direction. What a dreadful state of mind! But that's all past tense now. Things are turning around, and it's clear that rather than wasting your time, you were preparing the ground to launch a new phase in your life. You have been doing something very valuable, and you will soon see irrefutable evidence of this that will fill you with pride.
