A warm hello.

Mercury has just turned retrograde, the planets Venus, Saturn and Neptune along with Pluto have been retrograde for a while, and the planet Uranus will turn retrograde next week!   All this retrograde activity means there’ll be a lot of unfinished business to go over in the coming weeks, unresolved issues to tackle, there’ll also be fresh chances to take up opportunities you missed, or to pursue goals that have been fading with renewed enthusiasm.   In this forecast, I’ll concentrate on the planet Uranus turning retrograde, which points to a change it’s time to make or a change it’s time to adjust to.

Also in the next 7 days, an achievement will stand out – you’ll feel good about this result or plan coming to fruition.

The planet Mars will move into Libra and will transit Libra until Oct 12th – we’ll pour more and more energy into relationships in the weeks ahead, certain relationships in particular, with some positive initiatives and some compromises required along the way.

Finally, just letting you know, if you’re interested in cutting your hair by the Moon cycles to help it to grow and improve its condition, I will give you the best Moon dates for the whole of the spring season on Monday.

Most of you know the score when Mercury turns retrograde – it brings communication challenges, but the chance to revisit issues that haven’t been addressed fully.
Mercury in Virgo means we’ll need to watch a tendency to focus on and worry about the details -
be aware when you’re making too much of the small stuff, or others are, and encourage the bigger view - it will give a much clearer perspective.
Wishing you joy,
Karen

A warm hello.

The Moon will join Mercury and Mars in Virgo, then the Sun will move into Virgo: this powerful Virgo emphasis will bring a surge of effort and strong advances in the area of your life it pertains to!

LEO.   This strong Virgo accent points to a surge of financial business, paperwork, negotiations, deals and expenses – money will come and go quickly, there’ll be progress with an important financial matter or undertaking, and some challenging financial issues to work through as you go.   Expensive plans or a complex financial arrangement with another may need reviewing, so you know where you stand.   A call or message you’ve been hoping or waiting for will be music to your ears.
VIRGO.   This dynamic accent on your Zodiac Sign means you’ll take the reins – you’ll gather the information you need to make decisions it’s time to make, you’ll take the initiative with matters that’ve gone on for too long and you’ll be the driving force with a project that’s been very slow-moving; you’re entering a very productive go ahead time!   A personal conversation, where you need to take the lead, also features – it will reset a relationship.   Clearing up an account or financial loose end will feel good.
LIBRA.   This strong Virgo accent indicates that a health, diet or fitness goal or supporting someone close will need staying power to come through on top.     Mercury retrograde will raise issues in conversation that, in the past, you’ve bitten your tongue and not said anything – somethings may need to be said now, but how you say these will require thoughtful consideration.   A surprise turn of events will bring a delightful opportunity.
SCORPIO.   Here is the strong Virgo accent: a fun or exciting endeavour will gather momentum, you’ll receive some timely help or advice from friends or associates, you could also make some valuable new contacts and friends.    Discussions with a friend or colleague may raise some awkward differences; handle these diplomatically and you’ll preserve the connection between you.   There’ll be a lot of work and research behind-the-scenes to drive an ambitious undertaking forward but success will be sweet!
