Beginning Sunday, the Sun is sextile the planet Neptune. The sextile aspect is ruled by Venus so there is a strong inclination toward fantasy and illusion. The Sun is connected with realization, so the reality may not always live up to the illusion. This is the underpinning of the week that is now developing. Ideally, the Sun and Neptune cooperate to produce creative problem solving.
This week is a bit like a volcano just coming back to life after a long inactive period. Three planets (Mercury, Mars & Jupiter) are in the fiery sign of Sagittarius. This tends to open all the spigots. Be careful that you don’t speak without thinking. Fortunately, Mars tends to speed up all of our perceptions so it should be possible to keep tempers from flaring and problems from taking on significant importance.
Venus is conjunct Pluto and this creates a volatile explosion of emotions. Keep your composure, as this aspect is very short lived. Venus moves into Capricorn and this will cool down any event that has been escalating. Also, at work is Saturn, Moon conjunction trine the Venus, Pluto conjunction. This allows for containment of the situation going forward. Basically, the game changes.
Another important development is that Saturn has just gone retrograde. This will last for approximately 4 months. So expect that any advancement of career plans will be put on the back burner. Other options include, but are not limited to, revisiting a previous employment or business opportunity.
