    1 of 1 2 of 1

      Mercury retrograde ended on Monday, but there’s one more checkpoint to get through with Pluto, and that happens on Friday evening. This planetary combo has continued to write the daily spin with an intensity pen. It’s been the reason that so many notable individuals have taken an exit off the planet in such a short span of time.

      Friday’s Libra moon forms a number of dynamic aspects, making for a newsworthy, productive, and/or significant step-it-up or cement-it day. The planetary influences run the gamut; perhaps the day will set up a pendulum swing. Mercury/Pluto can bring a result, a conclusion, an ending, or a sense of finality. As well, there may be a significant announcement made, a milestone witnessed, a deadline completed, a goal reached, or an anniversary marked. Operating at the actual and karmic levels, Mercury/Pluto’s checkpoint marks the transition between destination arrival and the next leg of the journey, between “up to now” and “next”.

      The stars maintain a relatively smooth flow for the weekend, which suggests that we’re moving along just fine. Even so, the energy continues to stay well sparked, thanks to a building Mercury/Uranus transit, which is good for a fresh infusion on Sunday evening.

      Monday’s Scorpio moon begins the workweek on a lucrative note. Aim to make an impact; if it grabs you, it’s worth a deeper look-see. Tuesday
      continues the good trend. With a host of productive and/or results-generating planetary aspects, Wednesday shows the best potentials of the week.

      Aries
      March 20 - April 20

      Since the middle of December, you’ve been working your way through something major. Perhaps you’ve experienced it as a confrontation with the past, as nearing the end of a long haul, or as a karmic staging time. This weekend and next weekend mark key wrap-up, cap-off, and move-along thresholds. Put next week to good use and you’ll make good headway.

      Taurus
      April 20 - May 21

      Mercury and Venus in Capricorn aim to keep you committed and goal-driven by placing something of great value and/or desire within reach. Start here: you can and you will. That’s all you really need to know. The rest is a matter of keeping yourself on task and staying the course. Monday, Wednesday, and next Friday are the most productive days of the week.

      Gemini
      May 21 - June 21

      Mercury/Pluto on Friday
      takes you to an important finish line or conclusion and/or sets another significant building block in place. Play it anyway you like: the weekend is an easy one to take. Rather than winding you down, as of Sunday evening Mercury/Uranus pushes the refresh button. Use the week ahead to clear it off the list and prep for next.

      Cancer
      June 21 - July 22

      You may be ready for Friday-night action, but Mercury/Pluto wants to call it quits early. On the other hand, if you don’t get started until late, you could go all night. Saturday/Sunday, relax on your own, aim for romance, or mastermind your next great adventure. Monday puts good timing on your side. Creative thinking serves you well in the week ahead.

      Leo
      July 22 - August 23

      The workweek can finish you off, but all it takes is an invitation or a suggestion and you’re good to go all over again on Friday night. A let-yourself-off-the-hook weekend offers a welcome shift. At home and/or cozied up with a loved one does it right Saturday night. Next Monday and Wednesday dish up the best stars of the week.

      Virgo
      August 23 - September 23

      Friday brings the workweek to a successful wrap-up. By all means, reward yourself or a loved one for a job well done. Saturday through Monday is good for projects, workshops, money matters, research, making inroads, or getting to know someone a whole lot better. In other words, aim wherever you like; the week ahead puts you on the gain.

      Libra
      September 23 - October 23

      Finishing off with a debt load, refinancing, or renewing a contract? Is a new attitude, address, or business venture in the works? Friday’s Mercury/Pluto and next Friday’s Venus/Pluto are ideal for completions and new beginnings. You are smart to put added effort toward shrinking your debt or overhead, but on the other hand, a substantial investment in your future is also wise and well timed.

      Scorpio
      October 23 - November 22

      You should be able to wrap it up or nail it down quite well on Friday. Aim wherever you like Saturday night through Monday—Mars and the moon in Scorpio stars load you up on the right swagger and sway. You can easily make quite an impact or impression. Monday through Wednesday is also loaded with good potential. Use your magic, make it happen.

      Sagittarius
      November 22 - December 21

      Friday brings a sense of right time and place. Mercury/Pluto could prompt you to make a significant decision, purchase, or commitment. Once it’s agreed upon, done, or spoken, you should feel quite confident in moving forward. Saturday through Monday, the flow is good. Wednesday’s a great springboard day. The Sagittarius moon has you on all systems go.

      Capricorn
      December 21 - January 20

      Mercury has toured Capricorn since mid-December and continues through midmonth. It’s challenged you, but it’s also seasoned and rewarded you. As of Friday night, Mercury/Pluto brings completion, along with a sense of victory or accomplishment. The weekend is yours to own; Sunday night sparks something fresh. The week ahead keeps it rolling well.

      Aquarius
      January 20 - February 18

      As of Friday, it’s a wrap; claim your reward. Saturday through Monday is great for kicking back. You can make good progress in the week ahead, but there’s no need to push rocks uphill. Replace struggle or angst with ingenuity. Monday, Wednesday, and next Friday are optimal days to negotiate, meet, or get to it.

      Pisces
      February 18 - March 20

      Saturday through Monday, the stars keep you moving along in a smooth groove. Use your stellar advantage to cozy up with a lover, replenish yourself, or make inroads and headway. Tuesday/Wednesday, stay the course, submerge yourself, maximize your time. What’s on hand, readily available, or comes easily gives you lots to work with.
