ARIES
Mars' departure from your career sector last week has taken away a lot of the intensity and urgency, while bringing a chance to regroup. Mars will be back to finish what he started, but not for another three months. With Saturn and Pluto both in retrograde motion here, this brings a chance to regroup and to pull back. This comes just as Uranus is spending his first full week in your income sector since 1942, something that will take time to adjust to. With Uranus in your income sector until 2026, Pluto in your career sector until 2024 and Saturn until 2020, these cosmic giants are more focused on regrouping. All are here for years and as you enter a massive period for both income and professional growth, they are urging you to spend some time back at the drawing board. The Moon will move through your work sector midweek, with a chance to read between the lines and join the dots across the income, work and career fronts.
TAURUS
The biggest danger from any professional pressure or work/life balance tension at the start of the week is how easy this would be to ignore or dismiss. The lunar nodes have been policing a need for work/life balance for 12 months now, with the Moon checking up on this twice a month. As things have been fairly quiet on the professional front since the Sun left your career sector in February, this is something you've been able to give lip service to. Not this time, for as Mars spends his first full week in your career sector your professional year is heating up. The Moon will be out of Mars' way by Tuesday, but with the warrior planet of the cosmos spending most of the next six months here, the work/life balance reminder couldn't come with better timing. With the Sun not only returning to your income sector on Monday, but straight into a friendly alliance with Mars, pressure from the Moon is more likely to add fuel to your professional passions, fighting and competitive spirit.
GEMINI
The stars literally align for you this week and it is set to have implications across the income, work and career fronts. So much so that this is the week that everything until now has lead up to and everything from now will lead on from. Things started to come together over the weekend, when two separate events came together at the same time. The first is something that has literally been building for months and that is an alignment between Jupiter in your work sector and Neptune in your career sector. Aligned for the whole of this week and into the early hours of next week, this was always going to be a stunning week for job and career matters. This really is a case of everything that you've been moving towards, coming together. What turns this into something with implications across the income, work and career fronts was Venus' return to your income sector over the weekend.
CANCER
This is not a week to rush into, but to stand back and simply observe, as you adjust to a whole new energy in play. For what you have is a chance to catch your breath, after Uranus left your career sector last week. Since 2010 Uranus is the planet that has kept the pressure up, especially to continually move into an authentic direction and to be in tune with all the developments unfolding. The professional gods leave behind a skeleton crew who will keep the wheels turning, but without a need to have your professional hat on 24/7. Make the most of this for Uranus will be back in November, just as Jupiter returns to your work sector to kick off your busiest year in over a decade. After eight years there is a chance to pull back and simply let things play out. That the week begins with the Moon in your income sector is a sign of where the focus is shifting to, which is to the money.
LEO
Mars' departure from your work sector last week and the Sun's from your career sector on Monday, should bring you to a point where the focus on both fronts drops back. Apart from Pluto, who has been in your work sector since 2008, the Sun's departure from your career sector brings you to the point in each professional year, where things quieten down. They do to a degree this week, but more because the focus shifts more to the big picture. Mars has left Saturn and Pluto behind, but with both in retrograde motion work and job matters are now able to take a slower pace. As Mercury spends his first, last and only full week in your career sector, this is a week for tying up loose ends. However, with Uranus spending his first full week here in eight decades, this is also the start of a powerful new professional chapter. The conditions are looking especially good across the income, work and career fronts midweek.
VIRGO
From out of nowhere your professional year is taking off, with things not only becoming exciting on the job and career fronts, but where they come together. There is nothing unusual about the Sun's return to your career sector on Monday, for this is something that happens at this time every year. What is not the norm is to find Mars in your work sector. Mars returns to your work sector every other year, but it has been 15 years since this last happened while the Sun is in your career sector. With Venus having just left your career sector over the weekend, you have a better sense of what you want professionally. Yet this is just the starting point, with the Sun and Mars aligning midweek in a way that allows them to join forces. The Moon's return to your income sector on Thursday will kick off some auspicious days across the income, work and career fronts.
LIBRA
It was Venus' return to your career sector over the weekend that is proving to be an ordinary event that is set to have extraordinary consequences. This is mainly due to timing and not just because Venus has returned a month ahead of the Sun and therefore without a need for reality checks. Venus returns to your career sector once a year and as the planet of money, returns on a mission to fuel your professional confidence, attract opportunities and steer things in a lucrative direction. What makes this extraordinary is that it was on Sunday that an eight day alignment between Jupiter in your income sector and Neptune in your work sector began, something that had been building for months. All of a sudden the planets of money, luck and dreams are working together to create some auspicious conditions across the income, work and career fronts.
SCORPIO
Starting the week with the Moon in your career sector and your professional instincts and imagination fuelled from the get go will always be an advantage. Even more so with the whole dynamics of your professional year having shifted just days earlier. Since his return to your work sector in 2010, Uranus has been the constant presence on the professional front and while other planets came and went from there and from your career sector, this remained a constant force. Uranus left last week and until returning to tie up loose ends in November, this is a chance to let things settle. There are three minor planets staying on, but until Venus returns to your career sector next month this is more a chance to regroup. This is why starting the week with your professional instincts and imagination fuelled from the get go is such an advantage.
SAGITTARIUS
The Sun's departure from your work sector on Monday is often the point in any year when all planetary activity on not just the job front, but across both your professional houses ends. It is not until the Sun returns to your career sector in August that things pick up again, with the professional gods leaving you on your own. Yet even taking into account the fact that Mercury is spending his first, last and only full week in your work sector, this is not how things will play out this year. Instead, with Uranus spending his first full week in your work sector in eight decades, an eight year visit that will take until 2026 to run its course has just begun. The point in any year when all your job options are on the table, is instead the point where you're only now starting to explore your real options. The Moon's return to your career sector midweek will be a chance to regroup and not just on the job front, but across the income, work and career fronts.
CAPRICORN
The professional gods are changing the guard on the job front and in the process this is going to cement your position. For the past four weeks it has been Venus taking the lead on work and job matters, with her departure over the weekend leaving you with high expectations. It is the Sun's return on Monday that will always see things take a more objective turn. Where Venus deals in 'what ifs' as she imagines what's possible, the Sun deals with 'what is'. This is a chance to draw a new line in the sand, one where you're able to become more objective. Yet those reality checks are likely to result in a boost in job confidence. Missing are the roadblocks of the last three years and instead, with Mars in his first full week in your income sector there is real support and motivation. It is the Moon's return to your career sector on Thursday that will fuel your professional instincts and imagination.
AQUARIUS
This is a week where the stars literally align for you and in more ways than one. Ever since Jupiter turned retrograde in your career sector in early March, he has been moving slowly back towards an alignment with Neptune in your income sector, an alignment that finally comes together this week. This will remain tight all week, bringing you to a point where, across the income and career fronts, this is the point where everything until now has lead up to and everything from now will lead on from. This makes the timing of Venus' return to your work sector over the weekend even more auspicious. Venus returns every year, but it has been 12 years since she last returned to find lucky Jupiter in your career sector. This is a chance for the planets of money, luck and dreams to come together, with potentially game changing implications across the income, work and career fronts.
PISCES
Starting the week with the Moon in your work sector is always an advantage, giving you an intuitive read on work and job matters from the get go. Yet as the last visit before Venus returns next month and things start to move on the job front, this makes it important to simply observe. Until the Moon leaves on Tuesday keep your finger on the pulse and ear to the ground, but your mind and your options open. It is once the Moon leaves that you can begin to process the valuable clues, hunches and insights. This includes making sense of what any work tension and job pressure might be telling you. Especially when it comes to a need to work smarter and to pace yourself. At this point it is still more about being on track and moving in the right direction. Make the most of any chance this week to spend time in the slow lane, making time to hear yourself think. |
