Manny Pacquiao

As Saturn edges closer to Manny Pacquiao’s natal Venus in the coming year or so, pressure will increase in his personal relationships, and this will undoubtedly be a challenging period for him. With Mars also about to transit his natal Saturn, I would advise Manny to be extremely careful physically, as these two planets usually indicate injury that will impact on his work and lifestyle. This may be related to some activity other than boxing, his profession. It is also unfavorable for financial negotiations.

Manny’s political aspirations accelerate during the period of July to October 2012, but he will opt for a more private life from 2013 to 2014.

Aries

This week you intend to get a lot more done, but in the process may step on a few toes. This could be partly because of the pressure of financial issues and others making demands, which in turn will have a domino effect on others around you. Even if there are dramatic power shifts in your workplace, the period after the 12th is excellent for you, a new cycle of initiative and subsequent success.

Taurus

Although you desire the safety and security of a relationship, the attraction to adventure and independence is equally alluring. You’ll probably have a footloose and fancy-free week, but be prepared for some unexpected demands from your employer some time between the 6th and the 9th. Don’t go setting your travel plans in cement just yet, as you may have to adjust your schedule in the not-too-distant future.

Gemini

The past may catch up with you this week, Gemini, so be prepared to really experience the whole gamut of feelings that you thought had been put to bed. This is a turning point, so heed the astrological advice to let bygones be bygones, and move forward with steady improvement on the path you have now chosen.

Cancer

You are discovering the greatness of your own being, and creativity is one of the ways by which you may start to reignite that future life this week. With the exception of some minor physical discomfort between the 8th and the 11th, the remainder of your week should be one in which you are excited about the prospects of love and career.

Leo

An extra effort is necessary to exude modesty rather than the usual high-powered confidence this week, especially after the 10th. Practice makes perfect in this department, and therefore your home life and family is the place to start just now. Although provoked to argue and prove your point, silence may be the only way you can negotiate peace for all concerned.

Virgo

Watch your step this week, Virgo—figuratively and literally. Mars may cause you problems, and you are injury prone, especially on Monday and Tuesday. You are focused on contract or leased agreements that need to be clarified. Being too modest and allowing too many concessions in negotiation may prove to be a noose around your neck. Don’t be afraid to play hardball.

Libra

Your creative imagination is your key to bypassing considerable stress and exhaustion over the coming week. You have plans to make more money by possibly moving sideways if you’ve reached breaking point. There may be no way to escape the commitments made just now, so be careful not to add more work to your in tray until you finish what you have started.

Scorpio

This week, you’ll need to grapple with deeper emotional issues, and this requires that you maintain a lower profile than normal. If you had some uncomfortable breakup recently, it means you need some sort of self-protection to regain strength and confidence. It is not until the 16th that you may start to feel you’ve turned the corner. After this, you may meet someone who will inspire you.

Sagittarius

You’re only a failure if you give up, Sagittarius. What is needed now is unwavering focus on objectives, which you feel emotionally and intellectually attached to. Until Wednesday, you will feel somewhat emotionally unstable and dejected, but you will start to feel your desire for success growing day by day after this. Around the 15th, a sudden meeting with someone may help reorient you.

Capricorn

Friendships can be disappointing, especially if you feel as if you’re the one doing all the giving. You need a fresh approach, and there’s no point suppressing your ill feelings and resentments if others are not treating you with the respect and dignity you feel you deserve. This is a week where calling a spade a spade will help dig you out of the social ditch you’ve buried yourself in.

Aquarius

You’re being asked to contribute a lot more than is your fair share of the work. This can create some unstable conditions in your employment area but ultimately the choice to stay where you are is yours. It may not be the right time to exit the current situation, but around the 13th or 14th you may receive a clear signal on which direction to take. This could be precipitated by a call from a work colleague.

Pisces

Your intuition may not be quite so clear until the 10th or the 11th, so hold off making any important decisions regarding prosperity, wealth or other material possessions. You’re probably thinking that something is worth a lot more than it is, so think twice, and by all means get one or two estimates if this is the big-ticket purchase. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Your Karma—Q&A

Q: Hi! Can I ask? What can you tell me about my birth date, 11/08/1979? I was born at 10 p.m. I am curious to know about my love life and career, as well. Thank you. Regards, Carlos

Hi Carlos,

Give relationships a chance to prosper, even if initially they don’t appear to work. Your horoscope indicates a love of variety and a desire to explore many aspects of love. Unfortunately, Mars and Saturn indicate your romance is under a cloud, and this will continue until May 3 this year. After this, your relationships will prosper again. As for your career, don’t rush to the finish line. Be patient until 2013, when some great opportunity will arise.

Good luck,
