This is a time of changes which may result in people suing and arguing over differences in principles, beliefs, and philosophies.  People may act in an over-the-top way.

Sporting events, lawsuits, elections, and any other type of competition or battle may heat up at this time.  Clashes over entertainment, gambling, stock markets, groups, children, goals and what is good for everyone rather than the few may be most prominent.

Things should be calmer as Mercury travels through the fixed earth sign of Taurus.   There may be more information  and news about financial affairs, beauty, art, and creativity. Now is a good time to make financial plans.  Discussion with others should go more smoothly. However if someone is settled on their opinions or decisions now, it may be impossible to sway them.  People will be thinking more practically and be concerned with issues surrounding money, land, real estate, commerce, agriculture, gardening, luxury goods and personal resources

News and information may be scattered and unusual now.  There may be a new technology introduced around this time in communications.  There may be a scientific break-through in new forms of telepathy or how we process information.

Now is an excellent time to introduce a new invention or idea, especially if it is an out-of-the-box endeavor.  Radical and counter-cultural trends may start now.  Terrorists may be emboldened with mass communications or propaganda at this time.

There could be an overflow of electricity, transportation or news now.  There is an independence, originality and genius of thought now which could be translated into success if backed up by hard word.

The expression, “Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration” may apply now under this inspirational influence.

At this time leaders may be feeling more spiritual or idealistic now.  This may be a time of dreams being pursued and achieved or at least reached for.  People may be feeling a bit sleepy, lazy or dreamy today.  This is an excellent time for creative work, enjoying the arts, movies, spiritual practices or even spending some time by the water.  This is also a healing time when the body wants to rest or relax.  Yoga, meditation, walks or other calm exercise would be most therapeutic now.

There may be a tendency to overindulge a bit at home or on family members.   There may be a lot of emotions pouring in from partners, family and others now.  Enjoy the moment and go with how you feel.  Now is  a safe time to express how you feel and be accepted and supported for it.

This is a wonderful time to socialize and to re-connect with people   Convivial gatherings and other social events should be most enjoyable now.  It is not advisable to make any large purchases now (as you may tend to buy more than you should).  Also, creative projects, enjoying art, music, foreign things/topics/people/places, and higher education may be a source of pleasure.

The powerful or obsessive desire to meet one’s needs in relationships. Jealousy. Sexual tension. Territorial disputes. Fatal attraction

Venus is going to make a hard aspect to Pluto. This may manifest in different ways since Venus can signify: money, beauty, childbirth, jewelry, luxury items, music, art, fashion, poetry, gardening, flowers, and very often relationships.

There may be some shocks or upsets in relationships or money matters. Situations may get unexpectedly intense in a new or established relationship.

If you notice that things are getting more emotional or dramatic than usual, try to keep a cool head and know that this is a short-lived aspect (a day or two). If things do get to be too much, try to avoid any kind of confrontation until later on.

This may be a challenging time in social situations where some may feel or be manipulated, uncooperative or rude.  This is not the time to confront other in social situations, wait until later to discuss privately.  Venus square Pluto is not the time to push for things in group settings

There may be power struggles over money, shared resources and in love matters.  Be careful not to get carried away and destroy everything over control issues.  Conversely, this may be the time to sever partnerships or ties with material things in order to regain peace and happiness.

For the next couple of days it is important with relationships and finances to be “above board” about everything. If you feel suspicious about something, try to be level-headed and not get carried away.

Of course, it is not always about romance, it could be going back to anything that was not done before.

With Mars retrograde, the courage to go back is strong and this could lead to some positive changes in people’s lives. Going back and trying out for a job or a place on a team. It could also mean, trying something for a second time, like taking a test again. If there was something that you had wanted to do before and didn’t for whatever reason (especially if it was because you lacked the confidence), now with mars retrograde you may be given the courage to go back and do it now, with ease!

Because Mars is closer to the earth when retrograde, tempers and temperatures may rise higher than usual figuratively and literally..  Be careful to avoid any fights or situations which could become dangerous. Also that things may slow down now so expect some delays, aggravations, and a general slowing down in activities where Mars is placed in your natal chart.

Go with the flow and follow your heart and see where Mars takes you back to and you may find success. Success that you almost missed out on!

Full Moons bring things to fruition and also reveal what the next step should be taken with regards to things begun two weeks earlier on the previous New Moon.

This is a good time to brainstorm and come up with ideas regarding how to organize finances and other practical matters.  Figuring out what to do with all that you have at your disposal, including personal talents.

Today Venus makes a hard aspect to Pluto. This may manifest in different ways since Venus can signify: money, beauty, childbirth, jewelry, luxury items, music, art, fashion, poetry, gardening, flowers, and very often relationships. Pluto represents powerful underground forces, mafia, plumbing, organized crime, gangs, ISIL, drug dealers, human traffickers, drastic transformations and upheavals which end in permanent changes.

The stand-off between Venus and Pluto may be some shocks or upsets in relationships. Oppositions make us aware of what is going on. Things may get unexpectedly intense in a relationship. This may be a positive or intense experience which will forever alter both sides.

If you notice that things are getting more emotional or dramatic than usual, try to keep a cool head and know that this is a short-lived aspect (a day or two). If things do get to be too much, try to avoid any kind of confrontation until a later time.

If relationships are not affected, be sure to keep an eye on finances. There may be some secret siphoning of funds when you least expect it, in other words, identity theft or any type of theft. Avoid doing financial transactions on insecure networks and double check your receipts.

For the next couple of days it is important with relationships and finances to be “above board” about everything.  At the same time, be secure with your money and personal possessions. If you feel suspicious about something, try to be level-headed.

Neptune gives insight and Mercury understanding, so combined they lift the veil to the other side and allow communication across different dimensions. Borders dissolve under this aspect.

This is not the time for dealing with facts, figures, or detailed work as Neptune confuses things on the material plane. This combination can cause mishaps and misunderstandings when dealing with everyday communications, interactions or financial matters. Missed calls and misplaced messages are common so try to give others the benefit of the doubt in these matters.

If you hear any incredible news or gossip it is best to wait and see if it’s really true before acting upon it. Beware of scandals, lies, deceptions and scam artists as they will be very active this week.

How strongly this will affect you on a personal level depends upon how this square interacts with your natal chart. Mercury square Neptune can give wonderful abilities in music, art, psychology, and mysticism. It also allows a person to use these talents in constructive ways as squares can be very productive (or destructive if you are unaware of it’s influence.)

Emotions flow more readily and feelings can be easily hurt. You may send or receive and email or text and take it the wrong way. It is important to be very clear in all communications, perhaps making a direct phone call instead and double-checking any work emails to avoid getting into trouble.

You may find your most productive work will be done in solitude (as Neptune is associated with the 12th house of isolation). Be aware of any *signs* or unusual events that may be the result of influences from the other side.

Neptune rules the ocean, water and the feet. Water wears down and dissolves matter. This aspect can result in a loss of some kind. Neptune teaches us not to become attached to samsara or material world that we live in. Buddhism teaches us that this world is just an illusion after all. What we think of as solid and permanent, really isn’t.

Neptune also rules viruses, drugs and alcohol. Being careful with any prescriptions and avoiding intoxicants is important now.

Sacrifice is also a Neptune keyword, so volunteer work and helping the less fortunate will also benefit you in a difficult Neptune transit.

While Neptune can cause drug addiction, the positive side of Neptune (spirituality) can help a person overcome these problems.

The Serenity prayer is a perfect example of Mercury and Neptune:

God grant me the Serenity

to accept the things I

cannot change;

Courage to change the

things I can and

Wisdom to know the

difference.

Living one day at a time;

Enjoying one moment at a

time; Accepting hardship

as the pathway to peace;

Taking, as He did, this

sinful world as it is, not

as I would have it;

Trusting that He will make

all things right if I

surrender to His will;

That I may be reasonably

happy in this life, and

supremely happy with Him

forever in the next.

Amen
