Saturday looks harmonious for Health, Wealth, and the Spirit. Mercury (Communication) is in a good position to bring about this harmony, so engage in good discussions with those you love. Work things out. Speak from the heart. Remember how good it feels after you settle things together? Remember, negotiation skills include good listening. Agreements with those close to you are the true source of wealth… of the Spiritual kind.

“… let the sunny part of your personality shine on in your relationships.”

Sunday is looking kind of quiet — celestially speaking. While this works out to be more of a day for relaxing than starting something new (Mars — Initiation — is not in favorable positions), the Moon has a couple of interesting aspects for you. Since the Moon (Emotions) is working with the Sun (Personality) and in harmony with Pluto (Transformation) — go ahead and let the sunny part of your personality shine on in your relationships. Bringing a light-hearted Spirit to your day will pay off for you.

Monday starts off with some creative tension in the air. Jupiter (expansion) is squaring off with the Moon (Emotions) which gives you a “blocked” feeling about projects in your career. What is causing the blockage? Answering that question will pay off later — but today it is best to focus on routines and just get it done. When you take a break, do a meditation to get in touch with your emotions… they are the key to your success in business, and your personal matters.

Tuesday cranks up the energy with a number of favorable opportunities. Mercury in trine with Jupiter makes this the day to talk about plans for growth. The Moon is in harmony with Uranus, Saturn, and Mars, which means practical new tactics you put forward have a good chance of getting the green light to proceed. Communicate carefully, and give some attention to the emotional side of your personal relationships.

The Sun — the fire of your Personality — can cause communication disruptions with solar flares during a Mercury Retrograde period (which we are now in)

Welcome to Friday — a powerful day. Not just because tomorrow is the weekend, and you can feel it coming on. Celestially, the Sun (Personality) is working with with the Moon (Emotions) to bring a feeling of balance. And the Moon is also working well with Mars (Initiative) to bring a certain potency to your work and relationships. That’s good — it’s been a trying week. Remember to focus carefully on how you communicate during this Mercury Retrograde period.

“Sometimes just learning something new — the learning curve — holds people back. Don’t let it.”

Did you feel like you just couldn’t find the right words in conversations, and also when writing emails this week? This happens from time to time, and there are a couple of celestial reasons why. On Thursday, the Moon (Emotions) squared off with Mercury (Communications), and we are also in a Mercury Retrograde period which throws some sand into our communication processes. Just remember that such things are often opportunities in disguise. How so? Well, editing your writing, and gathering your thoughts before speaking can really be a big help. You’ll look a lot more professional at work that way, and appear thoughtful in your personal relationships.

Remember that in a Mercury Retrograde period and you need to check and double-check your communications. Good listening skills are in order. Double-check that you have heard both your boss, and your loved ones correctly. Then use the energy you feel to make a reasoned and cautious move. Despite your perceived urgency, do not be hasty.

And on Listening Skills remember that Communications experts have found that there are always four different messages for each single communication: What the speaker intends to say, what they actually say, what you think you heard, and what you think it means. So the speaker could fail to get the point across, and you could misunderstand it. What’s the best thing to do? Check that you understood what a person wrote or said to you by asking if you heard correctly. It’s that simple.

Looking to the weekend, the celestial forecast shows the Moon (Emotions) squaring off with Jupiter (Growth), so don’t be surprised to find yourself hanging back from things that might bring growth. Ever heard of “growing pains?” Your opportunity is not to fear taking a needed step to get ahead, even if it seems like there might be some momentary aches. Sometimes just learning something new — the learning curve — holds people back. Don’t let it. The Moon is also working well today with Neptune (Spirituality) which can give you that needed boost to forge ahead. Keep it practical, though, and don’t bite off more than you can chew.
