What’s happening this week? No matter which way you look at it the first half of the week is something of an obstacle course. Venus (love, money, pleasures) squares up to Saturn today. This signals roadblocks, how these things are being denied to us or where there is “not enough” and how that affects us. The Sun then opposes Pluto in the early hours of tomorrow morning and then squares Uranus in the early hours of Thursday morning, re-invoking the message behind the ongoing Uranus – Pluto square that is the backdrop
The second half of the week is much more encouraging as Venus’s next aspect is a trine (harmonious) to Uranus, and Saturn turns direct (having been retrograde since the middle of February). Whatever has been heavy going will start to move in the right direction. Both these events are exact in the early hours of next Monday morning so the turning points are most likely to show over the weekend.
Threaded through all of this, however, is that troublesome retrograde Mercury. As a rough rule of thumb Mercury is retrograde for three weeks at a time, three times a year, but this one is slightly longer and won’t turn direct again until the evening of Saturday 20 July. Textbook astrology defines these periods as “problems with communication and transport”. As I sat with a friend last night here in Greece she told me she had a Skype appointment later that evening with a friend in the UK. She then received a text from the friend to say that she’d “lost her car” and it took her two hours to find it, that she was now on the way home but stuck in a long tail back on the motorway, that she was running out of petrol and the phone was running out of battery…
The top story however goes to the person who woke up one morning last week to be told that their house no longer belonged to them (Mercury currently retrograde in Cancer, sign of home and property) and who is now locked into a legal battle to prove that it does…
Quick checklist for handling retrograde Mercury:
· Assume nothing, double check everything
· When in doubt, do nothing
· Keep a close watch on all belongings
· Take extra care with form filling/signing on dotted lines
· Back up all your computer work
· Operate by “re” words – review, rethink, rework, revisit etc
