Dice loaded from the start, sure. Doesn't mean the song wasn't worth writing.

"Romeo and Juliet," Dire Straits, 1980. The song is a man on a street corner with a guitar, talking up to a window where the woman he loved has moved on. Juliet, the dice was loaded from the start / And I bet, and you exploded in my heart. What makes the song unbearable is that he's not bitter — he's curious. He keeps asking what it was for, not because he expects an answer, but because the asking is the only conversation still available.

That's you this week, Sagittarius. Mars, Saturn, and Neptune are all sending you long trines from Aries — fuel, structure, dream, a week where your own direction is clear. Pluto sends a sextile from Aquarius. But Venus and Uranus are opposing from Gemini, and the opposition is in the relational seat: someone you love or have loved is doing something you didn't plan for, and the surprise is the whole of the week's emotional weather.

Monday move forward on a personal project; the energy is yours. Wednesday a message arrives that you didn't expect — read it twice before responding. Friday the trine days carry you; trust the momentum. Saturday do something for yourself, alone, not as a statement. Sunday Mercury enters Gemini and the words you wanted finally come — but the question they answer may have already changed.
