Mercury is retrograde, and there's no escaping this. Transportation delays, misplaced items, lost deliveries and confused communications will dog our steps. But the good news is we will also have a chance to more easily and more efficiently finish an old job or whatever is already on our plate. This is a bonus! Meanwhile, fiery Mars will be in Gemini for the next six weeks affecting each of us differently according to where it falls in our chart. Read on to see what Mars will trigger in your life. Basically, Mars is energy, and so it will energize some aspect of your life, possibly too much. For the next six weeks, remember that a closed mouth gathers no foot. And also, do not trifle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.
Family members and relatives you haven't seen for a while are popping up out of the woodwork. Stock the fridge and tidy up so you're ready. Fortunately, Mercury retrograde will help you finish home projects, especially repairs. (That's nice.) But be aware that your ruler Mars is in your House of Communications for the next six weeks, accelerating your daily pace, and making you opinionated! You'll identify more strongly with your ideas and beliefs. Try to avoid pointless arguments. Don't convince others to agree with you. Hey, there are none so deaf as those who are wearing headphones. Meanwhile, make time to think about your life and what you want.
You're busy with short trips, errands, appointments and time spent with siblings and neighbours. Unfortunately, you might encounter transportation delays, mixed-up communications and missed appointments. Grrr. Actually, this is the perfect time to tell someone how you feel about something - with either your affection or displeasure. Cards-on-the-table time! Meanwhile, fiery Mars is in your Money House for the entire month making you identify with your possessions. You might feel that what you own reflects who you are. This energy could trigger disputes about a possession or the ownership of something. Be careful about making unwise purchases to boost your ego. Keep your receipts. (And the box.)
For the next six weeks, fiery Mars is in your sign! Because Mars represents your energy and your ego, you'll be caught up in a time of great activity! You'll work hard for what you want and you won't hesitate to assert yourself and make your wishes known. Obviously, this could arouse some opposition. But you'll be happy as long as you're free to do what you want. You'll be much more of a fighter for your own rights than usual. You might even defend others. Your physical energy will be high. But be aware that you're coming on like gangbusters. Be patient and tolerant of others. Be nice to the little people.
The Sun is in your sign (happens only once a year), boosting your confidence, energy and good fortune! It also will attract people and favourable situations to you. (This is excellent!) But what the large print giveth, the small print taketh away. Mercury retrograde is also taking place in your sign creating problems with ground transportation (cars, trucks, motorcycles and bikes) and delays with travel. You might misplace things. Conversations with others might be misunderstood - like two ships passing in the night. You might have confusion with appointments and errands, perhaps being at the wrong place at the wrong time. But the blessing is you can easily wrap up old business! Use this to your advantage!
You're sitting pretty because lucky Jupiter has just entered your sign to stay for 12 months. This fantastic blessing occurs only once every 12 years! (Three maybe four times in your adult life). Fair Venus is also in your sign promoting schmoozing with everyone. People are attracted to you because you're charming and diplomatic. (Note: this is a great time to buy wardrobe goodies.) Meanwhile, fiery Mars will stimulate your relations with friends and groups for the next six weeks. Try to coordinate your needs with the needs of others because you might find your goals at odds with them. Physical activity, sports events and competitions are likely. This is the perfect time to set goals and start working on them. "You got that Pontiac!"
This is a powerful time for you because the Sun is promoting increased popularity with friends, groups and organizations. Everyone wants to see your face! Furthermore, you might take charge of group situations or be elected to a position of power or authority. (Small wonder because for the next six weeks fiery Mars is at the top of your chart arousing your ambition as never before!) The makes you identify with whatever you're doing, which means you're going to give it your all. Naturally, this can put you in conflict with bosses, parents and authority figures. Even coworkers might be threatened by your gung-ho energy and efforts to get ahead. Stay cool.
You are blessed because this is the only time all year the Sun is at the top of your chart casting you in a flattering spotlight. People admire you! If you're asked to take on increased responsibilities, say yes because you will impress them without doing anything special. (Chalk it up to Magic Lighting.) Enjoy your increased popularity, especially with creative, artistic people. Meanwhile, for the next six weeks, fiery Mars will encourage you to explore creative, intellectual work. (Coincidence? I think not.) You'll be excited about your beliefs and want to share them with others. Travel will please you. But legal difficulties might arise. Keep your head down and your powder dry.
Life is exciting because travel, new ideas, interesting philosophies and unusual people are helping you learn new lines of thought, which will expand your horizons. (Major bonus!) Fortunately, with both Venus and Jupiter at the top of your chart, you make a fabulous impression on everyone -- to the extent that a romance with a boss might begin. Meanwhile, fiery Mars is in one of your Money Houses for the next six weeks, which could trigger confrontations about shared property, shared values or anything that is jointly-held. Your best option will be to go along to get along. Be tolerant and understanding. The fact is everyone is doing the best they can. (Even if it doesn't look like it.)
Two beautiful planets are encouraging travel opportunities and chances to explore avenues in publishing, the media, higher education medicine and the law. These areas that capture your attention. (You love to see those telephone poles going by. More likely changing airports one by one.) However, for the next six weeks, fiery Mars is opposite your sign provoking tension and conflict with those who are closest. The upside is this is your chance to share your grievances and put your cards on the table. But keep in mind no matter how someone else is acting -- this is the best they can do. Be tolerant. C'est la vie.
Because you have good fortune, this week you can attract money, gifts and favours from others. Keep your pockets open! (Obviously, this is the perfect time to ask for a loan or mortgage.) Meanwhile, in another part of the forest, fiery Mars will help you do anything you want to do - especially related to your job. You'll find it easy to work hard and get things done! The only downside is you might work so hard you make others look slow or lazy, and they might resent you. Or you might delegate work to others too aggressively? (You can see how this could lead to conflict, especially if people are working for you.) Slow down. Avoid accidents. Stay chill.
This is a fantastic week because you're pumped to work hard/party hard! Fair Venus and lucky Jupiter are opposite your sign, promoting your ability to be in tune with others, improving your relations with everyone in a beautiful way. It will also be easier for you to express your affection for someone. (This is a lovely blessing.) Meanwhile, the Sun is helping you to work hard and be productive. Another bonus! Plus, for the next six weeks, Mars will urge you to be yourself and express yourself freely! Explore playful activities and sports. Take a vacation. Enjoy passionate romance. Live it up! The only fly in the ointment is Mercury retrograde might introduce delays and mistakes at work. But hey, this is peanuts.
A playful week! You feel exhilarated and happy to be in your skin. Amusements, recreation and socializing are likely. You might be more involved with children. Some will hear from old flames from the past - in person, online or in your dreams. Meanwhile, issues related to your work are favoured! You can make your work place more attractive. You can also improve your existing job or find a better one. However, nothing is ever perfect, is it? For the next six weeks, your home scene will be busier, even chaotic due to visiting guests, renovations, residential moves - whatever. Stock the fridge. People are happier when they're well fed. (Children aren't tiny adults; but adults are definitely big kids.)
