You can expect a kind of quiet to settle in over the mind and heart as Mercury and Venus make for a smooth connection and put you at ease. Your head is clear, your emotions are in check, and you might find that you don’t have to work so hard to get a point across with others. When it comes to romance, let being genuine be your guide and you will feel the bond with your partner grow. Single? You may run into someone whose way of seeing things is much like your own. Saturn has a hand in making the practical side of things less of a mystery, so what was once a hazy notion can become a do-able plan. You might even be in for a little windfall – a refund or a bonus you’d have overlooked if you weren’t on top of things. At work, Jupiter gives you some heft, particularly midweek; your words will have more of an impact. Just keep your house in order and you won’t have to stress to make the most of it. As for learning, you have the focus, but the North Node wants you to put in some effort. Mars is there to put some oomph in your step, so put it to use in some good exercise and then counter it with some proper rest.
Love and Relationship
This is a time for a kind of tenderness that doesn’t shy away from the truth. If you have a partner, you’ll likely have no trouble picking up on what they are putting out there, hearing as much in the subtext as in the actual words. It’s easier to have a frank discussion about where you stand and where you want to be. Even something as unassuming as a morning coffee or a walk after dinner can be where you and your other half get to know each other a little better.
If you are in the market for something new, you will have a good sense of what is for real and what is just for show. Trust your instincts and you will be drawn to the right kind of people. Don’t be in a hurry; let the chips fall where they may and see what is there. Pay attention to how someone acts, not just what they say. It is a good week to build some trust and open your heart, while still using your good judgment.
Health and Well-being
With Mars in the mix, you have the energy for it and your body might be asking for a bit of a good-natured challenge. Do something that is any fun, be it a long walk in the fresh air or a dance to let off some steam. If you haven’t been moving much, don’t go overboard; start off easy and be consistent. That will serve you better than a day of overdoing it.
Then there is the matter of your head. Make sure to put some distance between yourself and the screen time and the late-night noise. Put in place a way to wind down for bed – some low lights, a few deep breaths, or writing in a journal – to let your system know it is all right to let go for the night.
Guard your sleep and you’ll find more to give in the day, with good habits coming a little more naturally.
Money and Finances
With Saturn in the mix, there’s a kind of order to be had this week. You can put some numbers in front of you and not have to stress over them. Go over your budget for a bit; you might see where to make a few trims or put your money to better use. Some old subscriptions or ways of spending may not be worth it anymore. A little change here and there can put some room in your pocket for what’s important.
You could even see a small sum come in that gives you some leeway. Be mindful of it. Put off any major buys and don’t let yourself add to the cart on a whim. Instead, put some aside, chipping away at a balance or setting up an auto-transfer. The more you have a plan, the less drama there is with your finances.
Career and Business
Things are picking up on the professional front. Jupiter is at work, and you’ll notice your ideas are being well-received, come midweek. When you put something forward with a clear line of reasoning and some color to it, people will listen. Whether it’s a proposal or an update, you can make your case and get some backing. For those with a team to run, being direct about who does what will keep heads in the game.
Your head is in the right place for some good networking, too. A word in the right ear or a quick sit-down can open a door. But be true to your calendar and don’t over-promise. Make room for what makes sense for you and your time, and leave the rest. It’s the steady hand and the follow-through that will get you the credit you want.
Education & Knowledge
Mercury is with you when it comes to putting in some study time. You’ll have no trouble zeroing in on what counts and it will stick. Work in short, hard sprints and then step away for a minute. A walk or just a different view can do you some good without losing your stride. Don’t overcomplicate your notes; make them easy to go back to.
If you’re in a group, you might hit a wall or two of opinion, but that’s also where you can show some mettle in finding a way through. Let the strong points of each person come to the fore and put some markers in place to stay on the same page. You might even find a way of learning that suits you-like running through it out loud. It’s better to be tenacious than to have it be perfect.
Lucky Number
5. It has a way of making you think on your feet and be flexible, much like Mercury. Good for when you need to make a call and move on.
Lucky Color
A soft green. It’s for keeping a cool head and seeing things from the heart, a mix of Venus and Mercury for some level-headed talk.
Best Time of the Week
The late morning to early afternoon around the middle of the week. Your energy is up and your point will be made.
Weekly Guidance
Be clear about where you stand and have a frame to support it. Don’t rush. In all things, from the office to the home, a little bit done well and on a regular basis adds up.
