As of Friday, Jupiter and Ceres in Sagittarius join forces. Their mythology is one of hunkering down, tough negotiations, and forced concessions. There are plenty of examples of Jupiter/Ceres in play regarding the politics of the day, not only here at home but everywhere. On the personal front, Ceres/Jupiter advocates for you to stay the course and to fight for your rightful dues but also to recognize the truth of the matter, what the bottom-line reality dictates, and when concessions are wise. As their story goes, Jupiter/Ceres eventually worked their issues out and created a win/win. Friday’s planetary merger fertilizes an opportune backdrop for doing exactly that.

The creative force of the sun is fresh at it in Scorpio. Thursday/Friday, the stars keep it rolling well. Saturday/Sunday, Mars is on a constructive push-past-it track with Saturn. As of Sunday/Monday, the new moon in Scorpio supplies added get-the-job-done traction. In dynamic tension to Uranus retrograde, this new moon can produce a sudden jolt or a shockwave effect. To the plus, the start of the new week can bring it back to life in some timely and opportune way. Tuesday/Wednesday, Venus and Mercury team up in Scorpio. They set a favourable backdrop for relating, communicating, and moneymaking. Feel it out and take full advantage of the opportunity within reach. Hearts and minds can be swayed.

On the other hand, issues of trust and questions of value and worthiness can be on the dial-up. Mercury in Scorpio begins retrograde on Thursday. (No wonder negotiating Brexit has been such a problem!) Don’t assume it is on track or under control. Mercury retrograde can undermine the best of intentions or plans.

Whether it is intuition that provides you with a strong signal or it is a circumstance in play, the future is shaping up in some undeniable way. Do you have a game plan for it?
