Mercury Goes Retrograde for the Last Time in 2007

Here we go again… Mercury has begun its apparent backward motion in the sky (we are really passing the pokey little planet – it’s not going actually going backwards, it just appears that way). So one more time we may miss a few details, take things the wrong way, mix up dates, read the wrong message, get way-laid, thrown off course, be late or miss the bus. But life must go on, so grab your sense of humour as well as an enormous dose of patience, and watch as life unfolds during the month ahead. If you have the right attitude, you’ll be entertained instead of frustrated beyond belief. That’s what “slap-stick” is all about!

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Way to go Leo, you have already set your plans into motion, and once in momentum, those plans are easier to move along. Romance and relationships are important towards the end of the week. Speak your truth and come from the heart.  Card: The Sun: Success, happiness and abundance are setting into motion.

 

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

The opportunities that the solar system is imposing on us this week are a welcome challenge to Taurus. You are game to roll up your sleeves and get into the groove. It’s magic how you combine your hard work with a light-hearted attitude. Card: Strength: Your moral force is strong and you are living by your own convictions.

 

Gemini (May 21-June 20) 

You may be feeling a bit of pressure to get things done this week Gemini, and challenges pop up to slow your progress. Problems are solved later in the week and you will get back into the flow shortly.  Card: Judgement: Re-evaluation of past issues will help you gain clarity on future directions.

 

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

This is the week to speak your mind and express your future goals and interests, but communicate carefully and with integrity to ensure your journey along the correct path. This may be the beginning of a whole new adventure. Card: The Six of Cups: Nostalgia plays a role, past lessons help

 

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

The travel bug may bite you this week, Leo, or at the least, a sense of restlessness may be creeping in at a subconscious level. Listen to your dreams and allow them to form into plans, but wait until next week to take action. Card: The Page of Wands: Good news related to work or personal progress arrives this week.

 

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) 

A very unselfish time is upon you and the desire to share experiences, to nurture and to be with people is strong this week Virgo. In all your giving and being of service to others, don’t forget to have time to your self. Card: The Seven of Wands: Opportunities arise and you are in a position of advantage.

 

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This week you “wake up” and hit the ground with both feet running. If things don’t go smoothly, don’t force it or you may end up completely frustrated. When you get back to the starting line, try and recognize that some things may have to wait. Have a seat and watch the clouds drift by.  Card: The Page of Pentacles: The possibility of further education – or at least learning a lesson is yours.

 

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You will find yourself with a few challenges to deal with and demands on your time may be on the rise. This is a good time to ask for some help. You wouldn’t try pushing a car to get it going alone, now apply the same principle to your life. Others are there to lend a hand.  Card: The King of Pentacles: Security and finances are important to you – not a time for risk.

 

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)   

You can begin making future plans this week Sagittarius, as the urge to move upward and onward is growing strong. Recognize your strengths and accept or change your weaknesses, remember to say “no” if you need to. Card: The Three of Wands: Cooperative efforts pay of. Entrepreneurial energy may be tapping your shoulder.

 

Capricorn (Dec.22-Jan. 19)  

This week may provide the right type of energy to answer questions and provide solutions to problems and quandaries that have been stewing and brewing for the past month. It is a good time to get the ball rolling – even just the first step forward will feel great.  Card: The Ten of Pentacles: Family and friends are supportive. Finances are comfortable.

 

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

When you were a child did you play a “Go, go stop!”? This is how life goes for the week ahead, just when you think you are making decent progress; you may find yourself back at the beginning. (Read the intro). Stay light-hearted – life really is a game sometimes. Card: The Knight of Swords: Change is in the air, think before you react.

 

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) 

You are up for the utmost fun, excitement and progress you can find this week Pisces. The energy is perfect for friends, family, romance, travel and improved finances. Get going and have fun! Card: The Five of Wands: This week’s struggles are temporary.
