Here's the skinny on Mercury retrograde: Three times a year, Mercury "appears" to go backwards relative to planet Earth. There are also two shadow periods: beforehand, as it slows down; and afterwards, as it catches up to the degree it was when it went retrograde. Do we care? Yes! These are poor times to buy Mercury-related items: cars, trucks, bikes, computers, cell phones and printers. They are also poor times to initiate anything. Howevah! Mercury retrograde encourages introspection and it helps us finish old business. In two weeks, Mercury will slow down before going retrograde at the end of the month. This is a heads up for anyone who wants to begin something new. Remember: "Today is the first day of the rest of your life." And for the procrastinators: So is tomorrow.
This is a productive week for you because both the Sun and your ruler Mars will help you get a lot done. "Oorah!" In fact, you'll be so busy accomplishing things, you will start delegating to others.

Whatever the case, don't worry about this because it's temporary. This is a lovely week to deal with those who are closest to you because your exchanges with others will be spontaneous.

Of course, all is not "play and no work" - you will be very hands-on when it comes to your job. In part, this is because coworkers are supportive. In fact, some of them are so supportive, a work-related romance will begin. Meanwhile, your public reputation continues to shine in the eyes of others. You rock!
Some kind of chaotic or demanding situation at home requires your attention. Be aware of what's going on because there might be an element of confusion, especially midweek.

In fact, this week is the perfect time to make peace with others, especially if you have been at odds or fighting. Or perhaps, you will act as a go-between to help others?

Speaking of which, some of you are involved in a secret love affair.
This week, the Sun is still at high noon in your chart, which is good for you. (It happens only once a year for four weeks.)

However, do not press your case on Wed. and Thurs. because everything will be "weaker" for you. Just tread water.

(Perhaps even romantic.)
This could be a tricky week when it comes to financial negotiations. In one way, you are confident and strong; however, midweek, you might feel confused about financial negotiations or about pressing your case. If so, do not act. Wait until everything is clear and obvious to you. Midweek something could be confusing or misleading. Meanwhile, travel appeals! Especially travel for pleasure and good times. Some of you might strike up a new relationship or even a love affair with someone who is "different", perhaps from another culture or a different country. With Jupiter in your sign now, you can't go wrong. Everything will tend to go your way. It's important to know this so that you can take a chance or play the longshot.
Remember that at this time, while the Sun is opposite your sign, you will need more sleep than usual. (Go to bed.) Partnerships are important for you now.

Meanwhile, keep your pockets open because both Mercury and Venus will attract money, gifts and favours from others to you. This includes cash!

Nevertheless, be patient with others.
