Highlights of the Week: This is the last week of Mercury retrograde, much of which is spent in the 'storm phase' of Mercury going backward- meaning he is going super, super sloooooow. When any planet is stationing it has the most power, yet when it is still retrograde the power is on the more unconscious, internal realms. All manner of Mercury-related things (communication, transportation, commerce, money, technology) ca...

The new moon promises that new beginnings are a-coming in relationship to your romantic and creative energies- but they will come in a slow, methodical way (very Taurean!) after you release anything that came up for review in the past couple weeks due to Mercury's retrograde in your 5th house. Mercury's station this week makes him very, very slow- so patience is a virtue and it will take you far (think tortoise, not hare). Learning how to express yourself romantically and creatively takes deep confidence in yourself. That has been the focus of the past week's and hopefully you are coming to see that now. Midweek Venus moves into your 7th house of relationship where she will set up shop for the rest of the year (she will retrograde in October here and stay there till 2011- which will be BIG for you- stay tuned). Love, commitment and relationship are high on the agenda. On Saturday the moon occults Venus in this same house bringing important emotions- deep, intense, rich- to the surface of your awareness. Passion is ignited- but if you don't own it then you might see it as a mirror reflection in someone else. Allowing passion to take you for a ride is not irresponsible- it's living life with Eros. Allow yourself to indulge :)
