Here is the planet Mercury transiting Libra: exchanges with a knowledgeable person will be enlightening, even inspiring - they’ll offer new ideas and possibilities to weigh up with your plans and problems.   A sharing exchange will revitalise a long-distance connection.   Fruitful discussions will set up holiday, getaway or travel plans.   Exploring a new place or environment will be fun and informative.
Later in the month, the Full Moon with the planets Neptune and Saturn in Aries, will bring an important discussion you’ve been waiting and preparing for, and it will be clarifying – it’ll answer a burning question, you’ll gain valuable information or advice, and it will point the way forward with a project, problem or relationship.   Going back to a place you have a history with, or reconnecting with someone you go back with a long way, will stir old memories.
PISCES.   There’ll be a strong emphasis on relationships this month – you’ll go the extra mile to connect with loved ones, help and support loved ones, and to follow through with promises and commitments; you’ll put thought and energy into nurturing your relationships too – there’ll be sensitive issues to sort out.   There may be an important event or new beginning for a loved one as well.
The planet Uranus, stationary turning retrograde here, indicates that a changing home situation or routine will unfold further, with new household conditions or family arrangements to work around, a domestic project will gather momentum and an opportunity or change for a family member will move forward, altering family dynamics.
The planet Mercury transiting Libra will bring a helpful financial conversation – the advice or information you receive will help you determine the best path forward with a plan you’re working on, an arrangement or commitment; there’ll also be some important financial news.   Working through financial issues will be an education – learning all that you can along the way will serve you.
Later in the month, the Full Moon with the planets Saturn and Neptune in Aries, also accent your finances: there’ll be a big financial decision, large outlay or special purchase, there’ll be a turning point with an important financial endeavour, and there’ll be tax, super, insurance or complex financial paperwork to sort out; you’ll give generously to a loved one as well.

A warm hello.

With the partial Lunar Eclipse in Pisces this week, the emotional aspects of a situation or undertaking may cloud practical considerations – we’ll need to balance them thoughtfully, to make good decisions; also, there may be an emotional development in a relationship to handle thoughtfully, and a breakthrough or success with a matter or endeavour we’re emotionally engaged in!   We will need to watch a tendency to be over-sensitive.

​Wishing you joy,
Karen
