Hopefully, last week’s series of events allowed you to rest and retreat and re-think some of the decisions you are about to make. This is good because this week begins with a bang. Though Mercury is still retrograde, get ready for some rock and roll in the markets as well as in your every day life and schedules. Old thinking keeps people stuck so it is important to challenge yourself with fresh new ideas, particularly around the time that Mercury is sextile Uranus on the 20th and when Venus gets back to its retrograde position around the 21st to 22nd.
Intuitive insights lead the way as Mercury aspects Neptune, then Chiron, then, finally Jupiter, which brings a welcome phone call or communication from someone perhaps far away. Fresh insights come from placing yourself in new experiences — so the 23rd brings options for attending school, either taking or presenting classes. Make sure you implement some innovative techniques when teaching and bring in an eclectic mix of both traditional and spiritual techniques, a surefire formula for winning when one is trying to expand their mind.
