Mars is the dominant feature this week and it’s as if he’s come out of neutral, where he’s been idling, and selected first gear. Mars will now start to inch forwards again but will take a while to pick up speed. So even when a matter takes a turn for the better the golden rule is still not to rush anything. It’s happening slowly at first, but it’s happening.
We’re moving on – or are we? In the background we have the action planet Mars slowing right down in the early degrees of Aquarius, getting ready to turn retrograde in two weeks time, so whatever your plans do take things steadily.

Chiron ingress Aries Sorry I completely forgot to mention Chiron’s change of sign last week – Tuesday 17 Apr 2018 Chiron ingress Aries 09:10:21 am BST Chiron’s changes of sign are not listed in my Ephemerides so thank you to Andrew Ifandis for sending me the exact time.

Mercury is now officially back on track and here’s a reminder of my checklist of the kinds of things to expect, now and in the coming couple of weeks:

– Important information comes to light or secrets are revealed – we have the chance to see things as they really are …
In terms of learning lessons, however, retrograde Mercury is often a time of trial and error, when we find out what works and what doesn’t, up to the point when we experience something that makes us resolve, “I won’t be making that mistake again!” This can relate to major life issues and decisions, or just the little things that can make life more stressful than it need be.
