Taurus

You may test the limits of your power and authority at work this week as ambitious Mars in your professional zone gets into a smackdown with game-changing Uranus in your steadfast sign. It’s like that old physics paradox: What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object? You might actually find out firsthand on Tuesday, September 18, when the third and final of 2018’s Mars-Uranus squares takes place. (The previous ones were on May 16 and August 2—that second time, Mars was retrograde, and this time around, Uranus is the one in reverse, which can play out very differently.) On the one hand, you relish the opportunities that come with leadership, but sometimes all those responsibilities can be overwhelming, especially when people interpret your presence to mean they can coast. Under this galvanizing clash, things might come to a head—and you may come to the end of your (long!) fuse. But you know you can’t “make” anyone do anything; the best you can hope for is to motivate them (okay, or threaten them, but that’s not your jam). If you need to get everyone back on the same page, call a meeting, order coffee, cronuts or pizza, and rekindle enthusiasm for your shared mission.
