The Moon is set to have an important impact this week, simply by being in the right place at the right time. While the Moon will leave your income sector on Monday, not before leaving you with a sharp nose for money and ensuring you are emotionally and intuitively engaged and aware as Venus, the planet of money moves into her final 12 days, Uranus his final two weeks here and as Mars moves into his first full week in your work sector. This will not only get the new working week off to a good start on the income and job fronts, but it will remain a good week. It is then that two days after the Sun left your communication sector that the Moon will return to ensure the communication lines remain open, before not only returning to your home and family sector on Wednesday as a New Moon, but just as the Sun and lucky Jupiter have aligned here for the first time here in 24 years. Meanwhile, it is on Friday that both the Moon and Mercury will return to a playful and creative part of your chart.
In between Mars' departure from your romantic sector last Tuesday and Mercury's return on Friday, the love gods are taking a break while creating a firebreak between one chapter and the next. It wasn't just that Mars had spent five of the last seven months in your romantic sector that was significant, but that during that time and before leaving earlier in the month Venus had spent three of the last four months in Aries. Retrograde phases had seen the planets of love and passion invest a lot more time than they normally would get set romantic bonfires alight. So much so that in the 10 days between Mars' departure and Mercury's return, it won't take much to keep them burning. Normally spending just 14 to 15 days working to give your heart a voice and to put heart and mind on the same page, a retrograde turn next month will keep Mercury here until September. Helping to get this second phase off to the best possible start will be the Moon's return during Mercury's early hours, setting the scene for a romantically charged weekend.
